Orientation
I'm not going to lie. Graduate orientation was intimidating. Out of the 25 or so students in the room, I seemed to be the only MA student and the only student who wasn't married. As it turns out, most graduate students in the political science department go straight for their PhD. After talking with a handful of them, I determined that I was ( Read more... ) -
I hate sleeping.
It's always made me feel unproductive; like there's just this huge dead time where I'm getting nothing done, including resting. Sleep has never been restful for me. Somehow, life real and imagined find ways to worm their way into my dreams ( Read more... ) -
Prologue
So... senior year. It's supposed to be great, right? Things are certainly shaping up to be that way. I've got a new car, a strong resolve to succeed, a possible lead on a new job, and a possible in road with the WVU rifle team. But it's still senior year. There's design seminar, 400-level classes from hell, and bitchy classmates and stupid ( Read more... ) -
Busted
Last night was a little ridiculous to say the least. Losing sleep is one thing, but freezing your ass off while losing sleep waiting for the cops to come was something else entirely. Granted, I would have done things differently had I had another take, but I'd rather not go through with it again ( Read more... ) -

Let me tell you straight up. Spending money sucks. Just when you think you've got everything squared away, more issues come up and you have to drop more bills to get it taken care of. I'm getting ready to sell off some of my random airsoft stuff to cover upkeep for this rather expensive hobby of mine, but that's obviously not going to be enough ( Read more... ) -
The .45 is a harsh mistress
Yesterday was my first shooting session in about a year and my first shooting session ever with a handgun. I did some searching the other day on the NRA website. I found a couple sites within a few miles of Venetia that had pistol ranges, so I started making phone calls. When I asked about rentals at one of the places, they directed me to ( Read more... ) -
WTF NO STUFF???
Cool Stuff has a whole bunch of great stuff… just nothing that I need. The gear shipment that I was anticipating never came through, so I'm left with no attachments for my molle rig, which means I'll be using the el-cheapo rig unless Airsoft Atlanta somehow gets me my stuff by tomorrow. After the game, I may place a proper order with CTD or ( Read more... ) -

Sucktacular S.T.RI.K.E.
Soldier Tactical Retroactive Infantry Kit Enhanced. For serious? C'mon Blackhawk! For all the cool products you come up with, you would think that you could come up with a better acronym. Yes, I just ordered one of these rigs. Yes, I am addicted to airsoft. Yes I am pouring money into it like a crack addict. But you know what? I'm loving ( Read more... )
