As you know, I recently returned from a week-long trip, during which I traveled with my family over 2500 miles by car. We went to Texas and Louisiana, to visit family as we usually do for the holidays. This trip, however, was different than in years past. The Texas visit was the usual, but it [...]

So I just got back yesterday from my trip, which went very well. As I expected, I saw much that I will be blogging on in the immediate future. But not just yet, because I have to still reorient myself back to my “normal” life. That’s the problem with trips. They’re a pain to plan [...]

Today, during my lunch break from work, I walked over to Target. There is a serious lack of decent places to eat around where I work, especially when you only get a half-hour break. So I meandered over to Target and wound up getting some mozzarella sticks from their little snack center place. They weren’t [...]

Technology, technology, technology. It’s a fascinating thing. On a day to day basis, I find myself fascinated with what new advances are made. I have mixed feelings about various new ideas and products, but that comes with the territory. I think some things are great, and others are folly. But what’s been vying for my [...]

Today I was musing about what I think is the latest, and arguably the greatest, music video of 2005. I am a music lover down to the bone, and rock ‘n roll is my beat. From the time I was young, my mind was being filled with random facts and music-related ideas and such. Even [...]

Every now and again, as I drive around town, I notice different housing subdivisions emerging. It’s neat to watch the city grow, but sometimes I think it grows a bit too fast. That, and some of the new subdivisions popping up are built incredibly cheaply. I don’t claim to be a housing expert or real [...]

So last night I decided to go out with some friends after having worked most of the day. And holy cow, did I have a good time! A whole bunch of us went bowling for a few hours, until around midnight, and then we went to Denny’s to hang out and grab a bite to [...]

On any given day, there are a whole lot of things that are on my mind and could be termed “concerns” for me. Most days, I like to ignore them, because doing so allows me to live what I’d like to think is a more care-free life. The less responsibilities, the better. That doesn’t make [...]

As the semester draws to a close, I am left with a mess, of sorts. I have lots to study and work on, and that means that I have lots of junk lying around. I’m the sort of person who likes to have lots of space to work. Give me a table that is designed [...]

One of my all-time favorite hobbies is reading. My life consists largely of reading, in a variety of forms. Of course, I generally read everything except the things I am supposed to, such as for classes in school. It’s amazing. Any time I have to read something for school, something else will miraculously make itself [...]
