Goals

I’ve been meaning to post these for a month now, so here we go. I don’t necessarily consider these “New Year’s Resolutions”- but things I want to do with my life. 1. Enjoy silence. Mainly, I want to keep my mouth shut. My opinions are helpful sometimes, but not all of the time. The funny [...]

Europe Photos

I’ve finally edited my pictures! Check ‘em out on Flickr…click here… Oh yea, and make sure you leave lots of comments…

Iran

I’ve been reading a lot lately over the problem with Iran. Of course, my first thoughts are that Iran’s president is a cook (anyone that says the Holocaust didn’t exist is a fool). And too mention that Europe should take the Jews back and make Israel out of a part of Germany is equally dumb. [...]

Maintenance

I got a check in the mail today. In the “for” line it read: “friendship fee”. And I thought was funny—almost as funny as if she said “payment for services.” And it made me think, what happened if she (Kayla) didn’t repay me. I think I would be very hacked at her—because I spent the [...]

Examples: Instant Messenger: I’m typing away in another program, someone I’m me, and the next thing you know, all of my latest words go directly to them. Browser Popups: Don’t take me away from what I’m doing, let me choose to switch over. [...]

Busy Days

I’ve been super-busy this week finishing up a website. I intended to post some, but that hasn’t happened, so I look to update this thing again over the weekend.

Life as a Single Man

This is supposed to be whimsical–not angry or bitter. If you think I’m being bitter, get over it! What it’s like to be single: At Family Reunions “So how’s work? Good. Are you dating anyone yet?” On talking to a girl “Oh you like her. I saw you talking to her today.” On calling a [...]

The Supreme Court

“Most people in America don’t believe that God is a dirty word. But the sad fact is that some Americans are left to wonder whether the Supreme Court might have greater regard for it if it was.” Senator John Cornyn

Public Transportation

For quite some time, I have opposed of urban sprawl and believed that public transportation would be an ideal solution for many large cities. I believed this because of the reduced emissions and cost. I still think this is possible, but my experiences have shifted my positions a bit. The subway system in Paris is [...]
