New Chevy Equinox

Southern Programmer — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:13:38 +0000

I bought a new Cardinal Red Metallic Chevy Equinox on Friday. It’s a 2011 LT1 equipped with OnStar, XM Radio, Bluetooth, Remote Start, and USB Port! It’s a pretty sweet ride. Anyway, this prompted me to ask Facebook what should I name my SUV? I’m obviously an Alabama fan. One person suggested Tide, another Bear, and another Crimson. This gave me an idea of looking up baby names related to UA. Believe it or not someone actually named their child Crimson Tide Redd. Then I stumbled over this and really laughed. I’m leaning toward naming it Ivory (elephant tusk).

Pictures are coming soon.

Lots of Weddings and Babies

Southern Programmer — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 04:55:37 +0000

So recently I’ve been going to a lot of weddings. First it was my good friend Josh’s wedding. Then the following Wednesday morning my sister gave birth to her son Seth Dwayne Skinner (see photos section of BryanPrice.info). So I visited with her and her husband Wed-Sun of that week. Last weekend a mutual friend of me and my father got married (and he got me to video tape it… gotta edit that video soon too). And this weekend I’m going to another friend’s wedding. So out of the past month, there has been 1 weekend that didn’t involve weddings or children.

That’s semi-depressing being single. But at least I have something to do I guess.

You’ve Been Pink Flagged

So I was the best man at my friend Josh’s wedding. And we had pink ties. We also had pink handkerchiefs that we didn’t use. I came up with the great idea that we should use them as a “Too Feminine Violation”. Yes, I’m talking about throwing a pink flag. So be ware, I may throw the pink flag on you and ask you for your man card if you do something too feminine. But we rocked those pink ties like true men! Congratulation Josh and Jenna!

I Conquered The Mountain

I conquered the mountain,
I went amongst the titans,
I went through a long, strenuous marathon,
Over the mountains of the moon,
And down the valley of the shadow,
And Now I’m here past the finish line
I’ve found my El Dorado

The finish line was always the goal,
The El Dorado was what I thought I wanted,
But it was the hunt that made it worth while,
The journey is what I loved,
And now it’s time to find a new path

There’s something that we are all looking for,
Purpose.

Without this convention,
we roam aimlessly
So we give ourselves purpose
we work towards a goal
not for the goal’s sake,
but for the hope that the goal gives us

I need to find this hope, this goal, we all need to find this.

Hello My Abandoned Blog

Southern Programmer — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:38:36 +0000

It’s time to start writing in this blog again. Remember when I use to write a lot more? Well, it’s time to start doing that again. Since the last time that I’ve given an update, I have graduated with my Master’s Degree and moved to Decatur, AL. I’m enjoying being out on my own, but definitely missing friends and family. But two hours away from the place I should always call home in my heart isn’t too bad.

I’m working for a company that does map software. Currently I’m doing some project for the State of Mississippi. I’m writing in ASP, so it’s good that I’m familiar with the language. The timeline for the project could be a lot better though. But giving enough time to get the job done right, that would of course be wrong

My parents came up today to visit. It was good times. I burned that famous BCS Championship disc with Eli Gold that I’ve been talking about on the twitterverse/facebookverse.

I also bought a book at Books-a-million this afternoon. I bought a book entitled “World War Z” by Max Brooks. It is of course about the zombie apocalypse. It should be an interesting read
