more pretty output for 'ps'

I came up with a really pretty output style for ps

But, the way i did it is very poorly done. I was wondering if anyone knows a better way to do it.

Command:

Code:

 ps o user,pid,comm,args,pcpu,size,state -C bash -N -C xterm |egrep "$USER|USER"|sed "s/$USER   //" | sed 's/USER    //'

Output:

Code:

 
  PID COMMAND         COMMAND                     %CPU    SZ S
  4744 startx          /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx      0.0   524 S
  4760 xinit           xinit /home/zymos/.xinitrc   0.0   240 S
  4765 openbox         openbox                      0.0  5248 S
  4769 connectingTest  /bin/bash /usr/scripts/conn  0.0   524 S
  4771 fbpanel         fbpanel                      0.0  1360 S
  4772 conky           conky                        0.0   284 S

The goal is to have it output columns for

pid, command ,command w/ args, cpu, size, state

But only for the current user, and ignore command=bash|xterm

So any ideas,
ZyMOS

PS
You should try is any see how u like it, It much more pleasant and useful than 'ps x'

also if anyone knows how to put 'size' in human for that be cool too.....
