And so, we traverse the threshold into a new year, glancing back and bidding 2008 a fond farewell before we set our gaze to the horizon of 2009. What possibilities await us? What are we so thankful to have passed behind? Are there things that we hope go better in the year ahead? I know these questions apply to me. I figure I would make this little ( Read more... )

I mean seriously...I'm a week late. Granted, I've got mildly good reason, seeing as how it's Xmas week and all that. Rather, it was I s'pose. Damnit to hell, my vacation is just up and slipping the hell away! Nevertheless, let's get into the whole this-and-that of it all, as I've got a few things to cover. Thankfully, it's pretty much all good news ( Read more... )

Sure, I know it's Thursday...which would mean I'm late as hell with my entry, but I'm finally free from college! Well, at least for a few weeks I am. Still, time is time, and money is money. I say that because I also was able to sell my books back (except for my fucking math book; I swear, I'm never gonna get rid of that damn thing). That money, I' ( Read more... )

In less than two weeks, I can safely say that I'll be on my well-deserved vacation. Granted, that means I'll still need to handle my finals, but I think I've got this in the bag. It's a damn good feeling to know that I'll soon have some time off again, albeit a few weeks only. I know that almost two of them will be off of work too; to hell with ( Read more... )

Well, if the title isn't much of a hint, lemme spell it out for you. I passed my belt test! I'm now a certified yellow belt. Maybe not the most impressive of things in the eyes of you experienced people, or to those of you hard-to-please folks, but I find it a huge accomplishment. It's just the first step of many in my quest to attain an extensive ( Read more... )

There is only one test upcoming that I'm actually interested in, that being my belt test. Since it's not tomorrow, I can't say I'm nervous or anything, but I'm damn sure excited! For me, it's not only another dimension of kenpo knowledge, but it also will feel to me that if I get it - even though it's only a yellow belt - it'll make me feel as ( Read more... )

Why should 2009 have a good feeling paired with it? Well, because we've got a motherfucking Democratic president! Join me in some much-needed (and significantly late) celebration for Barack Obama - our 43rd president, and the first African American president in the history of the US. Man, I'll tell you what, I was so damn relieved to hear when he ( Read more... )

That's right, ladies and gentlemen! I got myself a new toy! Since I got it on Halloween, I consider it more of a treat to myself, but nevertheless, it's bad-the-fark-ass. I have attained my digital camera!! I am now the proud owner of a Sony Cybershot DSC-W150. I have a few pics that I'm whoring out even as we speak, and are available upon request ( Read more... )

That's right, bitches! I done voted!...and not a goddamn day too soon. I was startin' to get a little worried, considering the postal service is about as slow as cryogenically frozen cat shit. The really ironic part about this is, mine was sent a day before Mikey's, and it took them like a week later to get my absentee ballot to me. Nevertheless, ( Read more... )

Essentially the theme of the banquet, but not really. I don't think I need to say that it was awesome as hell, but I will anyway (because what's the point of my entries otherwise?) Granted, I had to go through a little bit of hell throughout the week to get to "heaven" as the song implies, but it was well worth it. It mainly had to do with my ( Read more... )
