As Joel has already weighed in with his opinions on the CikNis, I feel it is my turn to express my viewpoints on what was probably the largest project any of us had ever undertaken.  To build a haunted house of our own seemed like a fanciful idea-not really even an idea any of us had thought of before.  As much as we enjoy haunted attractions and ( Read more... )

For the first time in a long time, I can say that my finances are on the increase after what seems like an eternity of barely getting by.  Ever since probably two summers ago, I never seem to have any money.  When I hinged my income on things like substitute teaching or minimum wage jobs, I wasn’t doing too well.  My credit score plummeted; my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was probably the busiest day I’ve had in a long time.  Seeing as how time is running out for Wendy and I to take care of everything since we have conflicting schedules, we took a Thursday to take care of two important things: going to the courthouse to apply for our marriage license and apartment hunting-both of which were successful.  In ( Read more... )

This month has been very pressured and somewhat stressful, although simple planning and organizing seems to always make things better.  I tend to stare at the same spreadsheets over and over again, as I spend way too much time trying to get things right.  Right now, I’m budgeting what could be a potential move in the near future-hopefully as early ( Read more... )

It’s time to take a more serious tone to my otherwise pointless or ranting LiveJournal posts-a form of social networking I tend to only use when I want to write something in private and linked only to those I want to actually read it.  Right before the New Year, I met a girl online, and of course, that’s not unusual or the point of this post since ( Read more... )

While I’m sitting at work doing nothing, I realized it’s been such a long time since I’ve posted anything of value on here.  Yet, I’ve said that before, as no one tends to use LiveJournal anymore at all.  I figure it’s because people don’t put the time in to actually writing anything anymore.  A quick tweet, an Instagram picture of one’s breakfast ( Read more... )

Valentine’s Day has to be without a doubt the worst ever concocted consumerist holiday imaginable ( Read more... )

I’m on about my 20th day of not working, and I can’t complain too much.  I’ve been getting to sleep in all day and stay up all night, relax and do very little.  I’m not even concerned about my money, because I have two options: get a job or collect unemployment.  Choosing the traditional American path, I filed for unemployment and am slated to ( Read more... )

I finally had a chance the other day to play on what I considered to be an actual real softball team.  My cousin Glen, whom I’ve seen maybe once or twice in the past decade, invited me to be a sub on his team for their first game.  I initially Facebook messaged him a few months ago about a position, but he has consistently had the same team and was ( Read more... )

Superintendent Pickell,

I would like to thank you in advance for reading for my letter of concern regarding a day where I substitute taught in one of your schools.

On Wednesday, April 18, I subbed for physical education at Memorial Elementary.  It was only my second time ever going to Memorial, and the only previous visit there ( Read more... )
