It’s January 2009! Woo hoo! My birthday is in 12 days, I’ll be turning 26. I know in many eyes I’m still very young – including my own! But I feel like I’m getting older. Bills, a mortgage, grad school, a full-time job, a cat to look after, my father has passed away and my…
Blogging for Education
EDIT: If you’re reading this for information about helping me out with Grad School by donating, skip to the separator line about midway down. This first bit is just about my holiday. Well, Hello there. Fancy seeing you here! Did you have a good holiday? Where you surrounded by feelings of comfort and joy? Awesome.…
Lazy Days at the Villa and Dell Support
It’s Thursday, already? That just seems crazy. This vacation is flying by pretty quickly, and before you know it, I’ll have to get off my butt and go Christmas shopping. Yes, I know I’m crazy shopping at the last minute. It means I have to pay the “last minute” tax, since most places it’s already…
Buy Me Stuff
Hey, to anyone out there who reads this that’s still looking for something to get me for Christmas, or later for my birthday: APOCALYPTICA. This is an awesome musical group that originally started out doing classical covers of Metallica songs. I know there are more, like the Vitamin String Quartet and such, but I really…
Feeling Lost Lately
So I’ve been feeling kind of lost lately. I have been leaving this blog high and dry and I don’t mean to not keep up with it. I’ll probably be blogging a lot more during the holiday break, I’ll have about two straight weeks off of work, which I’ll probably be spending at my Mom’s…
Combo Breaker: Update
So I’ve neglected to write here for a while, primarily because I’ve been living life instead of blogging it (well, that’s not entirely true) – and partly because I have been experiencing a lot of stuff lately that I don’t want to post publically where just anyone can read it. I would do protected posts,…
Samuel Jackson / Mario Van Peebles 2012!
So, last night Barack Hussein Obama completely pwned John McCain in the United States of America Presidential Election. Everyone is talking about how great it is that it took our country 220+ years to get over racial barriers and elect an African-American to the Oval Office. I think it’s a great milestone, to be sure,…
Halloween ’08
Last night was a pretty good Halloween! Better than a lot I’ve had in the past. My friends & neighbors the Ellersicks hosted their annual party, and I was happy it was planned and I was invited before the IT folks got together and got out their invite. The IT crowd’s party is usually pretty…
Grandma’s Getting Married!
A lot of posts today, I know, but lots of important news and things to share, thoughts on my mind. An important couple of things: Mom went on a date last Friday night. I was slightly weirded out, but I’m okay. Apparently he was a gentleman and treated her well. My grandma (my deceased father’s…
No Costume, DIY Skills, or Time?
Halloween is coming up on us, it’s just this Friday! You have 4 days and counting left to make sure you have secured yourself some sort of Halloween candy. Whether you’re going out on the town, going trick-or-treating with little ones, or staying at home and giving out candy, it’s always fun to dress up…
