I can hardly believe how perfect my life is right now. I mean…….everything is just so amazing. It is hard to describe this level of joy. I couldn’t complain about anything right now. Well….I take that back. That Meijer job…..leaves much to be desired. But honestly, that’s it. Everything else, every other event on my […]

Posts about me and what I think.
The Brutal Onslaught of Despair
I tend to be an optimistic person. I have been oft criticized for this fact. When times are hard, I find it easy to see the bright side of things and to look forward, putting things in their proper perspective. Yet, while this does seem to come naturally to me, and I am clearly a […]
The crib
So we are buying this cool house finally. Closing date is officially next Friday. I am, needless to say, extremely excited. Just days away from owning my first house….pretty awesome. This is a picture from the front. Not too special right now on the outside, but it will be when I am done with it.
New Year rant
School is really boring me these days. I never have time to study and the homework can hardly hold my attention anyway. It seems that I have completely lost interest in school. I don’t learn nearly as much as I would like to. Learning is not a problem in fact I enjoy it. However I […]
Open Source
So I have been researching alternative software lately. Primarily focusing on free, open source applications such as internet browsers, office suites, photo editing, and even operating systems. It has proven to be a fascinating and rewarding endeavor. For starters I explored alternative internet browsers. It is now common knowledge, it seems that Internet Explorer is […]
Learning Lesson #5: Generators
So I made one of these little magazines. What fun. Although, I couldn’t seem to find a place to edit the text of the cover. I’m sure there are ways to do that somewhere. Anyway, it’s highly entertaining. There were also lots of fun, goofy things to play with on the chocolate bar site. I […]
Learning Lesson #4: Flickr
Well, I browsed around the site for quite a while. It was certainly impressing. There are so many talented photographers. Mostly, I just ran a search for “guitar” and found thousands of cool pics of people’s sweet axes as well as some very unique and artistic images featuring this beautiful instrument. I found a few […]
Cool! A reader!
Thanks for the comment Joyce. Anyway, those are good questions. I guess I don’t bother to explain anything because I have begun to think of this as a sort of journal for myself to pass the time. So, I reckon I could clarify a bit. First, the kids are just three or four of my […]
Oh, the good life!
Well, our 4th of July party was a blast (literally). We had quite a number of guests and everyone enjoyed themselves. Great food, lots of pool-time, some intense badmitton and a great fireworks show were all part of this year’s celebration. Yesterday I spent the entire afternoon making another movie with all the little kids. […]
The War Against Boredom
Well, I am doing my best but it is a challenge. Yesterday I had a job interview and was hired at a Meijer gas station so I am now carrying two part-time jobs. I am also getting all kinds of extra hours at the library due to sick and vacationing co-workers. So things are getting […]
Ouch!
So, I guess I’m getting braces. Long story. Complicated. Jeez. Anyway, this morning they put in some separators which are causing me a significant amount of pain. Now, I have a splitting headache which was not helped by me staring at a computer for the last 7 hours. Bla. I am ready to go. I […]
