I suppose an update is in order
First of all, I am now an uncle. Andrian Golender was born on September 5, 2006 at about 6:35am. I usually think that all babies are ugly until they are a year old, but he is pretty cute. I keep wondering what my relationship with him will be when he is 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. When he goes through his curiosity period, will I be there to answer ( Read more... ) -
Woe is me
I finally realized that instead of one week of responsibility-free, aimless existence, I actually have two. Whatever will I do with all that free time? -

Hey look, a positive entry!
Despite my constant morbidity, I am an optimist. Some time before a new term begins, I start thinking to myself, "This upcoming term will be the best ever!"

You see, the screen on this laptop is very good; it has a very high resolution. In fact, the resolution is so high that maximizing windows is so wasteful that an ( Read more... ) -
It was bound to happen
Today I met a girl that went to high school with me. I remember that at one point, we used to socialize in class. What class? No idea. I'm pretty sure it was grade 9 or 10. Either way, we weren't exactly close, which is why my first instinct was to do my best to not let her see me noticing her. That way, I could save us both the embarassment of ( Read more... ) -
An open letter to God
Hey dude, how's it going? Still trying to get that message out, eh? Good luck with that ( Read more... )
