Realizations on Reading.

I have been reading Slaughterhouse Five the last couple days, and finished it today, and it made me realize something about the way I read, and take in literature. It also made me realize that more than likely we are meant to read books at certain times in our lives. I don't mean this in a fate sense of the word meant,...

Trying to get my priorities straight.

I figure I am 30 so it's time for me to hunker down and figure out what exactly I need to do with me and my life and seperate that from what I want to do. Now I hope to combine the two into an awesome amalgamation of wondrous opportunities, but I have decided that I need to at...

Well Baseball is over for my team, the Braves, so it's weird for me to not be checking scores, and rooting for my boys. I am curious to see how the postseason goes but I really don't care who wins at this point. Football season is in full swing and my Cowboy's are bi-polar in their playing, or at least they make me feel bipolar,...

One Week Later

It has been one week since I had to put my dog to sleep, and it is getting better. I still miss the shit out of her, and think of things that I could be doing with her or thinking she should be there, but that to shall pass. I have thirteen years of memories, memories of one of the best dogs...

Today blows goats

Was at work and at 1pm got told to call home, figured it wasn't good, got ahold of mom and heard the tears in her voice and knew before she said it that my dog wasn't doing well.

She was fine when I went to work, but when I got home at 3pm she held her head to one side and had...

frown right there with you. I try to remember that they are the enlightened ones. They know compassion, love, kindness and peace. They, our wonderful for legged friends teach us these things. And then they leave this earth with mission accomplished. Thanks for the kind words and I'm so sorry for your loss also.

I went through an academic scare last week.

I called and talked to my committee chair to get back on track with my thesis and in turn my MA in anthropology. I was nervous because I had become quite the lapsed student after I moved away from where my college was to get on track mentally. The last semester I spent in Missoula I really...

Damn Right it was a good day.

So today was a pretty good day all around. It started off at 6am as all my work days do. Today, though, had a moment of possibility that I had to actually arrive at work to find out if it was true or not, luckily for me it indeed was true.

You see, there is a man at...

no doubt.

I definitely wish you all the best for completing your MA, remember, it will feel absolutely amazing once you have completed it and it's such an achievement. I know there are always little obstacles to be overcome but it is so worth it in the end. I also finished my MA while living abroad and sometimes I thought I would never complete it, but hey, it all worked out. I know it sounds cheesy, but just believe in yourself.

I have been off vacation for almost a week now, and finally have rested up enough to give some highlights on my vacation, and what a vacation it was.

I went over to Grand Fork on the 3rd so that we could load up the camper and head to the Soo Pass Ranch on the 4th, and set up camp for the WEfest. WEfest is...

I'm sitting here knowing that I should go jump in the shower real quick and run a couple errands so I can catch a matinee of Harry Potter, I guess I could get by, by brushing my teeth and washing my face and then taking a shower before I hit a production of Hair tonight with the girls. Guess that's what happens when my friend...

I knew I shouldn't talk politics at work, and yesterday proved that beyond a doubt.

An older guy started talking about health care and how he didn't think it was that great an idea and started talking about how he saw something on tv about it, and I innocently asked what he saw that on and the response was Fox News, well it was off...
