Welp, I missed my second entry last night. Oh well. Wasn't really up to the task last night. The Cowboys lost depressed me, I spent 3.5 hours in a poker tournament (staying later than I wanted) only to finish one spot off a $200 pay out, and to top it all off I felt pretty lousy. So that's my excuse. I went into work to take care of a few high ( Read more... )

Hey guys, this is one of the few posts that isn't identical on both of my blog sites. That's because the post on the other blog is pointing out sidebar content that isn't present on this site. As I'm exploring Blogger I'm finding new cool things that I can do with it. Well, semi-cool things at least. So I encourage everyone who is reading this ( Read more... )

William Munny: "You sure you ain't armed?"

WW Beauchamp: "No. Look, I'm not. I don't have a gun. I never had a gun. I write. I'm a writer."

William Munny: "A writer?"

WW Beauchamp: "Yes."

William Munny: "Letters and such?"

from UnforgivenI was sitting at my desk the other night, writing a letter to my Uncle Jack, thinking about, among other things ( Read more... )

I know that technically Sunday starts the new week, and so I should have posted my second entry for last week before today, but let's just pretend on this one. I'm just gonna do some quick hits for this one anyway ( Read more... )

Several of my friends and my church have gotten involved with the One Campaign to "Make Poverty History." And when I say involved I'm not really sure what I mean, because I'm not sure how deep my friends or church have gotten involved. All that I'm sure of is that my church has sold a few t-shirts and my friends have worn them. I'm not a part of ( Read more... )

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, you'll never make a saint of me... Ok, I'll stop singing. This is one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs, mostly just because of the hook, I think its groovy. The majority of the lyrics, well, I might not groove with so much, but the chorus has been taking on a new meeting for me recently. A lot of my friends have been ( Read more... )

Welp, my class at work is over. I passed, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. It was a class in the ways of credit, so it will help me get ahead (insert beavis and butthead laugh here) in my career. As a bonus the class is an industry standard, so it will be helpful in getting a job outside of Wamu in addition to moving up through the ( Read more... )

Even though I'm back from vacation physically, I'm still on it as far as this journal is concerned. I'm going through a fairly intense credit training program at work that will actually give me homework, plus I still want to have some leisure time, so I won't be updating this too much until October. Maybe not even then, I will have to re-evaluate ( Read more... )

Kids like me. Naturally they just like me. From when I first started helping out in Sunday school with first graders when I was an 13 to watching Rick and Stephanie's three kids be born and grow up, watching my Aunt and Uncle have a new baby boy, kids always seem to have been at ease around me, calm with me. Today I witnessed it again. One of ( Read more... )
