...bring us happiness?" -Hachi, Nana 2 (the movie) It is far too often that our dreams are shattered by the unjust tyrant that is Reality. Upon realizing that our aspirations, like stars, are too far to grasp, we often give up and abandon hope. Even those that stretch and stretch and stretch can...
Is anybody still reading this? Why? I've burned myself out on MMOs, even the excellent Warhammer Online. I feel like I get hooked on the escapism, and then time passes before it all comes crashing down as I realize I've wasted valuable time playing a game you can never win. Games really are quite...
Oh, Noes!! - Kristmas Kancelled - Krap Klaim Kiddies! clipped from www.msnbc.msn.com Debate prior to balloting showed deep reservations about $700 billion plan WASHINGTON - The House on Monday defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue package, ignoring urgent pleas from President Bush and bipartisan...
Colin recently wrote about this and although I was probably the person who lead him to write his post, I had no intentions of writing a post myself. However, after reading his post the reality of the situation struck me, as if I were a car stranded in the middle of the tracks of the supersonic...
I will be updating this when I get home from dinner. I recieved frantic calls from family members today regarding the possible closure/ failure of WaMu and WHAT to do/ what happens when banks fail/ are sold etc. When this is updated it will include all the information you could ever want/need...
I've been busy writing a blog over at The Enormous Waste of Webspace for the past several months. It's been fun - having the freedom to make the site look how I want. This afternoon it struck me that I had not visited Vox for some time, so I made the mental not to wander past this evening. The...
I think as we get older our attention spans fail us. Mine can serve as a prime example. When I was still in grade school, I could concentrate so well when I had to do work on the computer or study. The contrary is true today. Assignments can never be started if they have to be done on the computer....
I spent the recent long holiday weekend cleaning, organizing, and planning a new weekly schedule in an effort to take better care of my body, make more time for creative pursuits, have a cleaner and more functional home, be more effective at work, and kill fewer plants. Come September 2, I intended...
"Don't sit and agonize over how you're not good enough. Don't leave yourself with a pile of dead clay. Start and keep going; if you stop, start again, and keep going." - Alice over at Finslippy.
Well, I've survived week one of my adventure into the abyss, also known as The University of Rio Grande. Within only a week, I've been conned into more ensembles than I'd ever really care to be in. This is not to say I’m not happy to be a part of them... I just wish they would tell me everything...
Knowing beforehand that you wouldn't fail, what would you attempt to do? I really like this question, so I decided to sit here and try to think of a good answer for it, but I can't. If you've been reading me a while, you know that pretty much the one thing I truly consider myself to be afraid of is...
On my way into work today I was listening to a Stevie Wonder interview. I noticed so many people talk about God being responsible for things. Whether the situation is good or bad, God is given credit. My problem with this is it takes accomplishment and responsibility out of the person's hands. "I...
I'm numbering this post called "confessions", because I'm certain there will be more. I am here to confess my fitness sins. I did think, for a while, that I would hide these things from my blog, but then I realized that it wouldn't be much of an accurate fitness journal if I did that. And, it would...
Regardless of what you have heard or what was spoken over your life, let it be known that every man is born with purpose. At conception, heaven issues every man a date, (a mandate). Your mandate is your assigned destiny. It is the express reason you were placed on this earth. Every project, venture,...
Today, after a week of very hot weather, it got cold and it rained. I suppose it's not because I took with me my new sunglasses - bought yesterday. But could be... :K I try to be optimistic, but almost everythings goes wrong. For instance, I'm always desynchronized with the bus I have to use to get...

I have a son. I haven't seen him for twelve years. This wasn't by choice. When I was raising my four kids I was alone and unsupported for most of it. My second child,a girl,was a nightmare to raise,she had what would now be diagnosed as ADHD as well as OCD. From the day she was born she hated her...
I wanted to elaborate a little more on a post that I had started a while ago, but didn't because I was tired of writing. Sometimes coming up with ideas and actually following through with them can be hard, but this was one post I should not have neglected without further explanation. See, I'm quite...

I am feeling like an all around failure. I will probably get a D in my web design class and, if I'm lucky, an I in my mgmt class. I think a D means that I'm going to need to take another class to count toward my GPA and graduating. 3 more classes instead of 2, plus the Incomplete. I am so tired of...
