So I've found a secondary source of income repairing busted old computers. Right now I have three taken apart on my bedroom floor. We'll see if there is much gold in this new field, though I really doubt it. I find that diving through layer after layer of crap loaded on broken down old hard drives is rather theraputic after a long day. I think I'm ( Read more... )

Well tonight seems like a clear one which means another evening of hunting the skies with a lens. I am quickly realizing that there is little if anything to do in this microscopic little town. It's quite interesting to work with absolutely no one in your own age bracket. Everyone I work with, even the other summer help guys, have several children, ( Read more... )

So I awoke this morning to a sound I've not heard in many days, the beep of a text message. After chatting with Cheyenne for a bit, I knew that today would center around telephones, it was a sign. Shortly thereafter, my mother's cellphone decided to fail. Broken phone in hand, we were off to Augusta. While in the phone shop, I decided to ( Read more... )

Well in allot of ways my life has recently come to resemble a country song. I mean I'm working in a mine for goodness sake the girl has gone to the other end of the country, and well working in a mine just lends itself to country music. So I sat down to write it. Then, I realized that I was rather ill suited to the task. I just couldn't step into ( Read more... )

"Dude, you're getting a Dell!" Dude, you're getting a pain in the neck. Now granted I've never had any hardware problems with my Dell lappy, but to be sure it has had some hard times as of late. I somehow once more managed to damage internet explorer. For those of you who haven't noticed, IE is now an integrated part of the Windows operating system ( Read more... )

Good evening o' my brothers and only friends. I suppose I should say good morning, though to some of my more distant readers I should probably wish a happy tomorrow. I come to you this evening with the woes of a mad man. I would have waited a while yet for a post, but a certain someone.... ROBBY.... sent me a "nudge" saying that I must post. First ( Read more... )

I was randomly searching for my own name on Google and finally, at long last, have found a reference to my self. Now for those of you from larger towns and schools that may not seem impressive, but from my little area the fact that we have a data exchange at all is shocking to me! I appear as the last name on a list of Eagle Scouts from my old ( Read more... )

Something that happened the other day reminded me of this story, so I thought I'd share it. I cannot seem to recall where I heard it, so I cannot take or award the credit for inventing it ( Read more... )

One morning, the spirits spoke to me, stirring my heart and warming my blood with a ferocious desire. A desire so carnal so visceral that to speak it will surely cause blindness in goats and cabbage. This my friends is the desire to make sushi in one's dorm room for a super bowl party ( Read more... )

As I drove home in the dark tonight, I had a little time to think, which is always dangerous. Along the way I had two trains of thought which I felt would make interesting subjects for a post, interesting to me at least. The first thought was based on two accusations of cowardice which were leveled at me earlier, and the second in the fine ( Read more... )
