New Job
I don't think I mentioned this previously but I got a new job at AEP this past week. Same department, different group. My current job is in the Transmission Training and Development group, and while there were high points (teaching 50+ year old dispatchers about voltage control and reactive power flow in a classroom setting was kind of a trip), I ( Read more... ) -
New Hobby
I find that after a significant amount of time has passed between LJ posts, it's relatively pointless to try to update you on the happenings of my life. So I'll just cut to the subject ( Read more... ) -
Business Travel
I've actually never been on a business trip yet, but somehow I have three scheduled before the end of the year. Funny how that works ( Read more... ) -
The Lost War
I want desperately for someone to read this article and have their mind changed on the war. Sometimes I feel like the only sane person in a sea of ignorance, those who support the Bush administration with blind faith and believe that our presence in the Middle East is a "just war," the only, "resource we have available," to combat un-provoked ( Read more... ) -
Election '08
I have one other thing I think I need to discuss before I potentially go on another three month hiatus, namely, Ron Paul.

Three Months is a Long Time
Yes, it has been almost three months. It's not that I haven't had anything happen, but some things are hard to put into writing, and after a while, stuff just doesn't seem important anymore. So, I won't try to recap everything, but a few defining moments from the summer ( Read more... ) -
"Minutes to Midnight" Review
I still remember when I first borrowed the Hybrid Theory album from my brother roughly six years ago. At first, all the songs sounded the same and blended into a faux-angry rap/rock mess I didn't care for very much. But after repeated listenings, I started to sort them out and realized one day that it had rocketed up to being my favorite CD. ( Read more... ) -
May Updates
I know, you're thinking, "May updates? He's only going to update once this month?" Maybe, who knows? Spontak can get away with it.
Anyway some random updates:
1.) My face is mostly back to normal. Blinking is still sketchy and everything isn't 100% functional yet, but it's good progress. With a little stretching and exercising, I think ( Read more... ) -
Face Update
I got some limited movement back in my right cheek! It's minimal and doesn't help me blink or eat less sloppily, but progress is progress.
Rock on, me. Also, I have an appointment with a neurologist in about two hours. Hopefully they'll tell me good things. -

I mean that in both the literal and figurative sense ( Read more... )
