I was more than a little late to school today, got some of my project done, went to my 2nd class, then ate lunch with Aleytys and NoV, just a little too late. I missed the caravan to St. Paul's from St. Stephen's by at least 5 minutes, but it turned out to be for the best, as I was VERY underdressed. I should have been in a suit and tie, but it ( Read more... )

And here we begin the 4th Quarter of 2007, a year that, like most, has been full of thrills, spills, and chills for me. But I've never really "lost" a friend before that I didn't want to, but I digress. Anyway, today was a cool day. Class was pretty interesting, but I didn't get much progress done on either of my projects. And since I was ( Read more... )

An interesting Facebook group invited me today: Taxation is Slavery. I gotta say I disagree to some extent. Those tax revenues are what are needed to keep our roads smooth and water clean. One possible solution is to privatize everything, but someone has to be responsible since large corporations can be corrupt. Still, they should gain their ( Read more... )

Now that the AWA buzz is dying down a little bit, how about a real update? Life is enjoyable for me right now! Classes aren't too hard and I see true friends like Aleytys, James, NoV, and Lane at least once a week for Lunch at the commons and I'm meeting all sorts of new, exciting people (including girls) these days, so things are gonna be ( Read more... )

As promised, here are 7 things I wish I could have done different at AWA, but as you'll see, one or two really couldn't be helped! Here we go!

AWA 13 was AWESOME! A completely mindblowing experience deep into the collective conscience of the Southeastern American Otaku fanbase, with windows into another world and another culture arguably much better than ours. AWA DID feel like being in a VERY different world, where people were more often dressed as their favorite characters from ( Read more... )

One year ago today was the day I bonded with my now ex-girfriend Laura at an anime club meeting and listening to her MP3 player, and looking at funny graffiti on the way down the steps of the Humanities Building. What a difference a year makes. For 9 of the past 12 months, she and I were really close friends, then lovers for a short time, but now ( Read more... )

It's national "Talk Like A Pirate Day," ye landlubbers! So Avast ye hearties! Swab the poop deck! And hoist yer sails...or something! Anchors aweigh! Arrr...

Yes, this weekend was more exciting than I could have imagined. On Saturday, the beach, after the cleanup, was soo nice, and I was bonding soo well with some of the Spring Hill Circle K'ers, especially the club president Mindy, whom I spent about 15 minutes swimming in the ocean with, and went further off the shore than I had in a couple of months ( Read more... )

This has the potential to be an interesting weekend, if the storms will just subside, I can get the heck out of here and to Mobile for the Alabama District Circle K Gulf Division Rally and coastal cleanup tomorrow. But fear not, I should be back in time for at least part of the game! Have a good weekend!
