Up until the day before yesterday, everything has been typical.  Well, this includes slipping on the stairs from time to time.  The previous owners had carpetted the stairs with the typical carpeting in houses, but they put no edging on the stairs to reduce slipping.  Although, this was the worst slip to date.  I scraped skin off the side of my ( Read more... )

I decided to end my reign of confusion on Frap a little early.  I could not contain myself over the hilarity.  If it was video recorded, I would have put it on Youtube.

The math of Nerf darts.  Frap has two nerf guns that have have dart that are compatible to both.  One of the guns came with 6 suction cup darts, and the other has 6 rubber tip darts ( Read more... )

I find that I seek a balance between order and chaos.  Too much chaos leads to suffering, but too much order leads to abuse, and again to suffering.  To let things live, they must live ( Read more... )

Seeing some of the news this morning, it turns out that 1.2 million Democrat voters voted yesterday, and Indiana's population is around 6.4 million.  Giving a guess of the Republican turnout, I can say about 35% of the state voted in the primaries.  This leads to wondering how the real election in November will be.  I am expecting record breaking ( Read more... )

Every now and then, you will see something you never saw before in your life.  This is the major case for the younger, but the older people should have seen most.  This morning as I drive home, I saw a quick greenish-blueish streak in the southern sky heading mostly south and a little to the west.  Whatever it was, I cannot identity as anything ( Read more... )

Last week, the roommate most synonymous with the pigsty for a room was the first to clean and organize his room.  In comparison, I had the cleanest and most organized room, but I do not keep my paperwork in order.  Basically, paperwork and junk mail was everywhere, but with "some" order ( Read more... )

As much as I do not want to remain at my current job, I cannot allow a position with a pay increase just slip by.  Again another supervisor position opens, and I will try again.  Although this time,  I have a new boss with possibly different rules for who should be recommended first for the position.  Last time, I was sorted out early because I had ( Read more... )

One man can look at lowering interest rates as an opportunity to start a business or take out a loan.  I, on the other hand, look at it as a double edged sword.  The loan interest rate goes down, but so does the investing interest rate.  If my dollar is earning less in interest rate, I may not loan it out.  Thus, there is no money to loan because ( Read more... )

Every now and then while I try to further construct my story ideas, I internally learn lessons.  Some of the lessons about the world and the possibility of infinite energy, evil, religion, morality, and etc ( Read more... )
