on Sunday, I did my first Fantasy Football draft. my cousin is in a "keeper" league where you can keep up to 5 players (and forfeit your 1st round draft pick). he had to go out of town (Akron for a Cinderella concert....ehh, whatever) on Sunday, the same day as the draft, and I had to act as his "proxy". so Saturday we went over...

the White House reports that 300,000 jobs in education were lost since the recession hit.
and the way things are going...politicians arguing over tax cuts and spending cuts.....I don't see those 300,000 jobs coming back....in fact, I might see more jobs cut for the field of education.
so I ask those who read this blog.....politicians and such talk about how they want the US to... Read More

applied for one job, have to do the application for another. always makes you feel good when you are not even considered for a job that has the requirements:

what does it say about me that I am really excited to win on eBay a Maelstrom heroclix to be the center piece of my 1000 point build team for the Thanos grand prize in the Heroclix Infinity Gauntlet event?
and in other news....making meals without the use of an oven (but thankfully 4 burners) really bites.
day off....what do I do? some Yoga (get back into the routine of it....beginning Yoga with Rodney Ye video), some more cleaning up of my computer and a chicken BBQ for the town fire department where my older sister lives. come home, go to Home Depot, Staples, and Wegmans with the neighbor.
talk about motorcycles with him and let me get a better feel for... Read More
fun day at work....2 hours drilling and such into some unknown durable material, 1 hour helping the produce department fill up a display, and helping some guy move a piece of equipment.
oh yeah, and working maintenance, the job I was scheduled for.
fun times!

last night....see a spider crawling on my computer desk. I keep an eye on it and get something to hasten its journey to the next world....when it disappears. damn...its a chameleon spider! search and search for a few minutes and see nothing.

and quote of the night.....
"Santa Claus has just arrived in the back...and he's riding a motorcycle."
