Wow, so apparently college is pretty good when you do it properly and study and make classes a priority and what have you.  And get out of bed before 3 PM, and actually go to your classes, etc.  I'm enjoying my classes so far:

French
This one kind of sucked at first, Pitt has a policy with French (and I think with most other foreign languages as well ( Read more... )

Tuesday Alex and I went with two friends of ours to Kennywood.  I'd not been there since July of last year, when I  went for the McDonald's Crew Appreciation Day.  This year's trip was a lot better for several reasons: 1) we didn't have to ride there in an overcrowded bus with a broken air conditioner, 2) we had about ten hours to spend there, as ( Read more... )

Yesterday Alexandra and I went shopping in the Strip District, because there were still some things missing from our refrigerator and pantry despite the $80 I spent at Wal-Mart Friday night.  $80 for food seems excessive to me, but now I think back to the grocery shopping my mom did for dad, herself and me years ago and I  realize it probably cost ( Read more... )

Well I owe LJ a picture post, so here it is.  These are pics from a recent trip to the Harrisburg area.  My mom wanted to go to the State Archives to do some genealogical research, and she offered to drive Alexandra and me out there so we could tour around town while she searched the archives.  We also went to Hershey, Gettysburg, Amish country, ( Read more... )

Alexandra and I will be leaving for Romania on Monday, at some ridiculous hour of the early morning.  Greyhound to NYC, flyin' outta JFK, change planes in Amsterdam, arrive in Bucharest really really late at night, treacherous drive through snow-covered mountains to Sighisoara.  And I'll be there for about three weeks.  Yes, they have internet in ( Read more... )

I just now realized I completely forgot to give thanks for anything this Thanksgiving. I worked from 7 to noon, ate some turkey, went home, and fell asleep. But no thanks were involved at any point. I mean, most years it at least crosses my mind, and I offer up SOME sort of thankings, even if they're not exactly heartfelt.

Then again, I think last ( Read more... )

Today I popped into a store I hadn't visited in a really long time- Family Christian Stores, down at Robinson Town Center. I doubt anyone who reads this has known me long enough to know it, but up until about 8 years ago or so I was filled to the brim with Christian faith. Then ... well, me and the Church kinda drifted apart. Not really- it was ( Read more... )

Welp, so much for Fiddy, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, etc. Looks like my prediction in March of '05 wasn't too far off, that G-Unit were at the peak of their popularity and it was all downhill from there. Eh well, good riddance, Fiddy had nothing important to contribute since his mix-tape days, and the only other member of the posse who was even ( Read more... )

We now have the Internet at the apartment, so I can actually come online and talk to you people once in a while. I think some of you have let me slide to the back of your memory. It's time to make a comeback ( Read more... )

I haven't seen anyone in a long time, so I'll extend an open invitation. If you want to hang out with T-Money, leave a comment saying so. Some sort of time frame would be helpful, but it's not necessarily required. I promise I will do everything I can within reason to accommodate your request ( Read more... )
