Sometimes none of it makes sense
I've resigned myself to the fact that I only ever seem to write when I've lost something or someone. I guess it's the only time I can ever find to let things like this out. So be it ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye to an old friend
Here we go again. I only ever seem to post to say goodbye to people or things. Today is sadly no different.
There was a building in Vincennes, on 4th street between Main and Vigo. It wasn't much to look at. To be honest, it was falling apart. But it held special meaning to me.

Being color blind...
There are several things about being color blind that have bugged me; a laundry list of things I couldn't see properly. I failed Electricity class in high school, because I couldn't tell the difference on the different stripes on resistors. That inability kept me from pursuing electronics, really. While I'm not a great artist, I never felt like it ( Read more... ) -
Really? Is quarterly the best I can do?
Seems I only ever post to my blog when something bad happens. While I'd like to say that's not true this time, I can't. I can, however, say that it's not the reason I'm posting. The bad thing happening had nothing to do with my decision to post an update. I will get it out of the way quickly:

Reasons for posting on a blog...
It seems the only time I ever post journal entries anymore, is when someone dies. I'm not sure if that's morbid, or that's the only time I feel like I have something to say. I always come on here and say "I plan to post more in the future" and then I never do. It's been a month and a half since my last post. So this time I'm not going to say it ( Read more... ) -
On the nature of cats
Most white cats with blue eyes are deaf. They say 65-85 percent of them are. So, when we got Spike, we half-assumed that he would be as well. Of a litter of 4, he was one of two adorable white kittens with blue eyes. His brother, Giles (yes, I'm a geek) was one of two almost-as-adorable tabby type cats. Originally, we had only been getting one ( Read more... ) -
The only way I can get Half-blood Prince out of my head...
I'll try to do this without spoiling things. But I won't make any guarantees. Spoilers will be saved for below the break ( Read more... ) -
A Moment in History
On Thursday March 26th, I had the honor of attending the opening of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Time Capsule, interred on September 3, 1933. It was not intended to be opened for 100 years, but due to the leakage issues that have plagued the memorial since construction, the structure is undergoing extensive repairs and reconstruction. Since ( Read more... ) -
Semester #3
So, I've not posted much about going back to school. I guess I've just not been in a very bloggish mood. But I'm trying to get back into a routine, so here I am. As I may or may not have posted earlier, beginning with this past summer, I've made my third attempt to attend college. The first two attempts were "false starts" of a sort. I tried ( Read more... ) -
Dear Red States,
(Note, I didn't write this, nor do I live in a "blue" state, but I liked it. And let's hope we can still turn Indiana Blue.)
Dear Red States...
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, ( Read more... )
