some inspiration

I love this scene.

crazy times

I recently hit another milestone…one of those that marks another year of life on you.  The older I get the more I see patterns in my life.
I felt the need to toss some recent thoughts into this blog.  Yeah it’s been a while.
I have some friends and even a former friend experiencing some bad times. [...]

Mission Accomplished!

I did it.  I exceeded the test score I needed to get into Calculus by 15%.  With that, I was able to talk to the Chair of the Math dept today and get into the classes I need.  I worked my ass off the past 2.5 months.  I regularly questioned myself if I would be [...]

Meet the Ether Bunny

It’s been in the works for sometime, now it’s on the launchpad.
I love the music and the performance aspects of my current band.  That’s not changing, although, the three of us have been quite busy and haven’t accomplished much lately.
I have this other musical alter ego that creates music that doesn’t suit the mend palette.  [...]

Windows #%#$#!*#&%$ Vista!

My patience with Microsoft Vista came to an abrupt end last week.  I have a fairly new Toshiba widescreen laptop.  AMD x2 proccessor, plenty of ram and hard drive space.  It was zippy and fast and I never had a problem with it the first year.  Then gradually I noticed with new updates, new processes [...]

it’s been a while

my latest vice

So the nice big Sansui flatscreen HDTV we’ve had for 1.5 years has now decided to intermittently shut itself off.  Uneducated best guess is a fuse? Considering that we are a household of students (Wife is working on her Master’s in Accounting while working full time, I’m neck deep in my undergrad Compsci working part [...]

more little reminders

Recently and suddenly, a former Warden and someone I worked with for years, died last weekend way before his time.  He wasn’t someone close to me by any means, in fact I had some issues with some of his practices.  I don’t know much about his family but I know he left behind a wife [...]

brain exercises?

Spending the day working on math review from the ground up.  I have alot to catch up on.  Trying to learn college level math when you can barely remember your name is not very conducive to remembering much.  I have two big placement tests to conquer which will get me into Calculus and more advanced [...]

Phase III

Reclaiming my physical health.
Caffiene free for a week.  Regular sleep for a week and some change.  Supplements.  Mood improving.  I’m not in a constant fog.  It’s enough to make one giddy.
Tomorrow will be my third day of the big hill climb.  I’ve been riding from our house to the foothills an up Shaw mountain road [...]
