    Getting ready to head up to check out the strip clubs in West Virginia with my boss, then I've got to be up at 7:30 tomorrow for a cabling job. Probably get sloshed tomorrow afternoon, then go to a rave tomorrow night. Sunday I'm going to a computer show up in Chantilly, then stopping at Hooters in Manassas for dinner. Except for the computer shart part, that's my average weekend in a nutshell.

    Every Saurday, Counter-Strike LAN party. Nothing like shooting friends and family to blow off steam after a stressful week of customers.

    Every Sunday, clean up after LAN party, then relax, surf the web, read the news and sleep.

    I wake up very early on weekends. I hate to waste my free time. I went in to work this morning at 6:00 even though I'm not scheduled to finish a customer's computer I promised for Saturday. After that, back home for eggs and bacon w/the wife and kids. Then off to take my CDL test so I can get a job that don't involve computers.

    The rest of my weekend is spent with my family of 5....they are what keeps me out of trouble!!!

    WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO TODAY?......Not that it matters, because Micrsoft will crash on the way there!!!

    AlienDyne, I too am a huge F1 fan, and an even bigger Ferrari fan. Therefore I like to see Schumi win. Is this the case with you or are you a Shumi fan only?

    Thumbs up

    Yes, MAYHEM I'm a Ferrari fan too.
    In fact, I love F1. I used to watch F1 GPs since the early '80s. When Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna used to win almost every single race.
    I was just a kid, but this sport charmed me.
    Indianapolis GP is coming next Sunday.
    Hope Schumi will win this year's world championship...

    My typical weekend is doing assignments for school (full-time job + full-time school = no life). Of course, I always have time for a little NFL on Sunday and a few good mp3 downloads and CD burns to get me through the next week. My husband's been good enough to spare me the housecleaning and yard mowing lately.

    Thrill a minute, eh?
