My past is a shadow that I can't shake. The majority of what I can't shake is not my fault. My only option was to react to it. I just figured that with this new job, I wouldn't have to explain anything about it to anyone and that I could slowly let it slip into the ever more distant past. That embarrassing scar would heal in time. That part of ( Read more... )

Like many of you, I haven't really found the need to post much anymore. The weather is great, and I have a lot going on with my new job and hanging out with friends. A few weeks ago I actually got to hang out with Sergei Federov at a bank open house. That was cool being that he is my favorite hockey player despite the fact that he left the wings ( Read more... )

I get my new company car today. I get to take it home and use it to commute back and forth from work. That is going to save me money and wear and tear on my car. Its a nice perk. For once, I actually look forward to going to work. Its so nice not to have someone looking over your shoulder all the time ( Read more... )

I had a great weekend. I was forced to look into myself more on Friday than I think I have in a long time. I don't know if I really came to any conclusions, but it was still a healthy experience. I am too worried about what other people think of me. Its not something that you can pick up just be being conversational. Times like that made me realize ( Read more... )

The weekend is here again! Justin and I had an interesting ride at addison oaks last night. They changed the course a lot for the MOAB race. It was kinda fun in that we didn't really know where we were going. I wish we could get some other people to ride with us. Its not that hard. Erica? Lindsey? You guys up for a ride this weekend? Looks like the ( Read more... )

How cool is it that its already Wednesday? Fucking sweet. What a game last night. Dustin and I stayed up and watched it, despite the fact that we were extremely tired. One more week until my first paycheck, i'm really starting to hurt here. It will all be worth it though. I think that the 'stins will actually give the lakers something to worry ( Read more... )

Words can't really describe what the Indy 500 means to me, and so many other fans who have seen it live; those who understands what it means. If there is a race to win as a driver, this is it. Four weeks of fine tuning culminate in shattered dreams for 32 drivers, and taste of milk from the Borg Warner trophy for the winner. Careers are made here ( Read more... )

Its been quite some time since I've had the time to post. I guess that means that nothing really bad or dramatic is going on in my life, which for the most part is true ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my first day at Kem Tec. I really enjoyed it. I know its not Mike's Marine and all, but it may be a good time after all. It looks like I really am on the fast track, they are going to turn me loose on Monday and then I'm all on my own. It will really be nice getting used to a fixed schedule too ( Read more... )

In many ways, this is the final episode of one of the greatest tv sitcom scripts that was never written, and only viewed by actors who played the emmy worthy parts. Its hard to understand why I loved it there so much and stayed as long as I did. My college friends would always laugh when I told them that I worked for a marine store. They thought it ( Read more... )
