Let's see...while I have another date with the history teacher tonight, that's not the biggest news in my life these days. The biggest news is that I'm getting a motorcycle. I should be getting it sometime next week. While it's not my dream bike, it is a great starter bike and should allow me to find out just how relaxing it is to wind through ( Read more... )

I've always just kind of someone who tells themself how to feel and how to focus...and it just happens. The past couple of days, I've been a little off kilter, though. My uncle died on Friday morning...right around the same time that I mentioned him in my journal. So, since then...I've had dreams about my parents dying and trying to keep some ( Read more... )

Let's see...things seem to really be up and down as of late (which is unusual because I usuallly don't pay too much attention to the down side of things). I'm not going to bother to put things into coherent sentences and paragraphs...because I update so infrequently that I think that it's just for me these days ( Read more... )

Well, where in the world should I begin? Since my last complete entry, I found out about an unusual human interest story. It turns out that there was this older gentleman in a small town west of Fredericksburg who decided to sell his farm and move in to a house in the middle of a park near town. He was able to get a good price for his home and ( Read more... )

I just realized that I've failed to write about anything in a couple of weeks. So, I'm going to do a catch-up post tonight. The short version involves a trip to Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research, going out with a cute teacher, fun times at work, local interest stories about politics and drugs...and I guess that I need to find a story ( Read more... )

This weekend was very educational ( Read more... )

Did I mention that not only do I love my work...but I pretty much love life in general these days? All the guys around the shop seem to be in a great mood and everyone is joking all day while still being incredibly productive. It's just such a nice atmosphere! I've been set loose on a new goal for this year, as opposed to last year's goal of a ( Read more... )

So, I wrote in here about six months ago about how lightning struck my house and fried my DVD changer and TV...well, we finally got all the paperwork in order and they offerred to get me a new 36" JVC TV and 300 disc DVD changer...or give me about $1250. Well, I've learned that it's easier to keep a book of the DVD's...so I think that I'm going to ( Read more... )

Damn it, it's 2:17 AM and what the hell am I doing awake ( Read more... )

So, there is a special on HGTV right now on Charleston, SC. Which is cool because I'll be heading down there on Friday. I'm not really sure what's going on when I get there, since I don't really have any firm plans. But, my parents wanted me to go down there and visit...and it sounded like fun to me ( Read more... )
