Who am i? The eternal quest to know the other, as they perceive me.
How does the other see me? I have the oddest situation one could imagine. I was married at 19, to Brooke. Prior to that I spent about two years with her and her family, and of course they took me up as their own. We divorced four or five years later (Why can't I remember exact dates?) and I still continued to occillate in their familial circle. ( Read more... ) -
The Beginning
I just got home from my last undergraduate final. Saturday, I'll walk the stage. Secretly, I didn't think it would happen. But, it did. I have no idea what will happen next. I have several resume's in, at different places, who know's what will turn up. I can do a whole lot more than what I could before, and feel like very little has changed. -
Kids will teach you a lot, in the worst of times.
In a huge wtf moment, I get a call today around 11:35. It was my ex-wife so I figured it was concerning when I would pick up the kids for the weekend.

We had been back at the apartment for about 20 minutes when I saw one of the ( Read more... ) -

Ugg in a hurry
It’s been a bit since I wrote. That is mostly because the classes are keeping me busy. We’re packing a whole semesters of german into one month. I have about 5 hours a day of classes, so this requires a decent bit of time spent at home studying for the next day. My vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds and I am now noticing sublte shifts in ( Read more... ) -
Monkeys abound!
We went to the Munich zoo today. I figured an hour or two, wondering around looking at some cool animals. Oh no, when these Munich’ers do something, they do it big. The damn zoo is huge, and we went on about four hour trip, rather than the 1-2 I imagined. I am soooo tired. My leggs are killing me. I will be in such good shape when we get back. ( Read more... ) -

O' mua foookin hare
Is really big. Lot's of people. I guess that sounds silly, you know it's big, and by big one must assume a lot of people. But really! It's a qualia thing. You simply can't conceive of what it's like until you stand in the corridor between gates (1 of 15) and feel the flow of humanity around you ( Read more... )
