Around midnight last night, I was almost involved in a head on collision. I was driving home from UNF and I decided to go down JTB to go home. As I turn onto Kernan and go about a 1/4 mile, I see headlights ahead of me. I think to myself, "Wow, that median doesn't look too big at night...Oh shit!" I realize that the car is driving in the same ( Read more... )

When someone thinks of bad road rage, they usually think about other towns than Jacksonville. Within the past week I have seen road rage to extreme degrees. One a military man, or at least so he claimed, was driving through a parking lot and it appeared that a Vietnamese was pulling out of his parking space and pulled half way out and the ( Read more... )

Its been going good at school so far. My class schedual got messed up though because on of my professors had a mild heart attack and is going to get a bypass. Unfortunately, there is no one else teaching AI Robotics so it is starting to look like I will be SOL for taking that class anytime soon. If I remember correctly, that class is only ( Read more... )

Anywho, its great to be ( Read more... )

I remember why I don't particularly enjoy the singles life (not to mention the lack of wheels which doesn't help the situation any). Ended going to Harley's with some friends of mine and ended up bumming a ride with a couple that I knew. The evening was great up til the point that it was just me and the couple. So they are playing pool and ( Read more... )

Finally done with summer classes, just in time to go back to work at Chets Creek Elementry. I got to work 20 hours in 2 days which was really tiring, but well worth the hours ( Read more... )

Hello again. It's been awhile since my last update, but this time i have a reason. My internet conked out on my computer! My wireless card decided to just quit on me. It would connect to the network, but it would not go to the internet. To make a long story short, I ended up buying a WAP (Wireless Access Point) which took $100 out of my ( Read more... )

Well, it has been awhile since my last update. Very interesting Saturday to say the least. After I went to group, I was recuited to help with spreading the mulch. What sounded like a small task ended up being monumental. It was 20 cubic yards! To put it in perspective, the size and volume of a van, give or take a few. It took us from 10 to 4 ( Read more... )
