Has anyone ever seen something bad about to happen and then realized that there was nothing they could do about it. It really sucks because you see it and then even though you could try to change the way things would happen it doesn't matter so you just have to say, "ah, forget it." I know that some people see things they could change, but don't ( Read more... )

Alright, the old man finally caved. I am stepping into the 20th century. Well, not completely, its more like a half step. In fact I wouldn't even call it a half step. You know how your getting ready to get into a pool of freezing cold water and you dip your toe in, just to check and see how cold it is even though you know that its freezing because ( Read more... )

So, I thought that it would be easier to get up and everything now that I don't have to work before the sun rises. Nope, not so much. Its almost harder to get up now that I get sufficient amounts of sleep. Its almost getting ridiculous. I have no urgent need to get up at 8:00 even though I should be getting up around then, and so I don't and now I ( Read more... )

A monster has been created. It really hasn't been as bad as it was ever since we lost the bed racing thing, but a lot of the guys involved on greek week are getting a little too big for their britches if you ask me. It was almost unbearable after we won the dodgeball game. I understand that getting hyped up after winning three events in a row is ( Read more... )

So, once again, Lent is supposed to be this great time of self reflection and improvement for Catholics, or something like that. Thats what I have always thought anyway and I have already posted once about it. I just feel right now that I am not where I am supposed to be. This includes a lot of things, one of them being my lack of graduation, the ( Read more... )

I have decided two things today. One, that getting more than five hours of sleep two days during the week is awesome (I dropped a morning shift, and I am not missing it at all). Two, that sleeping when you normally eat meals can result in being woken up by a what sonunds like the growls of a wild beast... ...er, your stomach. Hopefully, this newly ( Read more... )

So, Lent is supposed to be a time of growing in your faith. I believe that I have always tried to do that. This Lent hasn't really gone like that though. Its not that I haven't been learning more about my faith, or not keeping my Lenten fast, nor spending time in reflection. I have been doing all of these things, but it just seems that the more I ( Read more... )

Whoo, its been about what eight months since my last post. To be completely honest with myself, I really did miss it. I don't know if anyone who reads this will believe that, but I've said it before and I will say it again that these posts are mostly therapeutic for me and therefore they should serve nobody's purposes but my own. That is quite ( Read more... )

Something that still gets to me is the lack of effort even the house crew wants to put into the house. It drives me up the wall that people just would rather put something off not to do it and hope that someone else will pick up the slack. For example, I just mentioned to everyone that pushing off house cleaning duties to monday is going to have to ( Read more... )

So, thanksgiving was nice, except that i didn't get to relax at all. I went home and cut wood for three days and came back. It was nice to hang out ( and by hang out I mean work) with my family, but it would have been even better if I could have spent that time playing card games and board games and drinking a little bit at home. Instead, my ( Read more... )
