First of all, I expect this to be completely and utterly unread. My "friends" page has seen no activity in well over a year. I haven't posted in a year, and as nobody else is posting, I figure it's safe to say nobody is reading either. This is just a more convenient place for a post like this than facebook, where it might get read by more people ( Read more... )

The final week of January was probably the worst one in a while. It was a really rough week at work. The only positive thing to come out of the week was that I reconnected with a woman I met at Brewsky's back in October and had talked to a bit. And even that, we'll have to see if it's just a mirage or not ( Read more... )

So the last week and a half was pretty uneventful, aside from the major national event of the inauguration. I can't remember an inauguration being anywhere near as big a deal as this one was. I was at the casino on Monday night and one of the pit bosses was like "It's just another guy becoming President," but at least he was willing to agree it's ( Read more... )

I'd like to eventually get into a habit of a "weekly" update or somesuch garbage that nobody would really read anyway, but I think it would be interesting to me in an archival sense. Obviously I can't be too terribly detailed about some things, but I can provide insight into how things work in my world ( Read more... )

Yes, I finally got a job. I'll post more once it's official (paperwork and what that to finish up).

As most of the people who read this blog know, I have been active with Monday Night Big Band since I was a junior in high school (Fall of 1999). This expanded either my freshman or sophomore year of college to include Thursday Night Jazz as part of the overarching Capital Jazz Society. These events had been held during the whole duration at " ( Read more... )

From my experience in life, all twenty four plus years of it, I feel very comfortable in breaking people down into four different, though sometimes overlapping, groups ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm not going to repost my annual February 14th rant. Until I come up with something new to put in it, there's not much point. You can just search the archives or whatever to find it if you REALLY want to read it ( Read more... )

I just heard "Gravedigger" performed by Willie Nelson. Willie has never really done well doing covers of other people's stuff, especially when it comes from the pop/alt/rock side of things. I've heard other songs (of which I remember none of the names right now) that he's done, and none of them really sound all that good. He sounds best when he' ( Read more... )

Chuck Norris endorsed Mike Huckabee. That's the best reason I've heard to vote for anyone as of yet.

I just wanted to post a non-griping-about-job-search post.
