I want to be a woodworker

I’ve got the woodworking bug again. I’m not much of a woodworker, never have been. But, I want to. This morning I started day-dreaming about setting up a shop in my garage and working on projects. Thinking about in the Summer late afternoons, with the garage door open, and working away [...]

I Complain Too Much

As I was driving to work this morning I was thinking about many different things. But one of the things that crossed my mind was my blog posts and how there is an abundance of complaining that I do on here. Not that it matters much, I’ve looked at my statistics and no [...]

The Stress of School

I know, I know I talk too much about school. But sadly in the world of blogging you mainly stick to what is on your mind. Over the weekend I thought about traditions and I thought about salaries and I thought about the future. But the main thing that I thought about, [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away…

It has been raining non-stop since yesterday. I can’t remember when it exactly started but it has been pretty bad. With the blizzard not more than a week and a half ago saturating the ground this rain has no where to go. Last night, when I got home from school I thought [...]

Countdown To Spring

Wednesday night, Thursday Morning, at 1:48 EDST, Spring begins. Is there anything more to say than this? I am eagerly waiting for warm weather on a regular basis. For trees to start turning green. Just 7 and 1/2 weeks and I will done with School until the Fall. [...]

Spring Break Failure

My Spring Break is officially over. Not that it was much of a Spring Break, I am always obligated to point out that I still work full-time, even when I am off of school. I had plans for this week of being off school, of getting some far along on my term paper, [...]

With the Old Breed

So, I’ve been reading this book, “With the Old breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa”. It’s a memoir of E. B. Sledge’s experience of the Pacific Theater during World War II. At first I was interested because I knew that I could draw comparisons to what my Grandpa experienced since he had also fought [...]

Driving in the aftermath of Blizzard 2008

This week is my spring break, and it is also many other school’s spring break, including Kelli’s sister Shawna. She goes to the University of Florida and flew up to Cincinnati for the week. It’s kind of the “anti-spring break” since she is going from warm sunny beaches to a freaking blizzard here [...]

Glorious Thursday

I’ve hinted on this before, but Thursdays can usually be an ‘up-day’ for me. I look forward to getting off work and doing my own thing. Today, I will be finishing up reading a book, doing some Anthropology homework, and gathering all of my sources together for my term paper. Hopefully, [...]

S.N.A.F.U.

SITUATION NORMAL, ALL F*ED UP: Wow, ECP is down and out today. Something happened over the weekend, bad sectors on the drive or something. And they tried to fix it, but then yesterday we started resuming normal operations only to find out this morning that everything that we did yesterday has been [...]
