Pearls

I’ve started a half dozen blogs since my last post but I never seem to finish them with my crazy schedule.  I’ll consolidate and post some of that another time.
Today I attended a funeral of a close family member.  Never a fun thing to do, not to mention, the stark reminder of your own mortality.  [...]

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 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 [...]
