Oaky, I'm sick of the guilt trip I keep getting from the whole world about not being in school. I admit, there was a time when I flirted with the notion of getting back in, and maybe that's why, but as of this point in my life, I have ZERO intrest in getting back in or into school anywhere. I have a good job, and I've seen plenty of people finish ( Read more... )

last saturday, there was a military funeral for "Coty" West, a 23 year old who had just gotten to iraq a month before. The day before, there were three men holding American flags outside of Berea Baptist, where the funeral was held, which is on the same block as my apartment building.

Lately it's occoured to me that I talk about my work a lot, but for the most part, most people reading this have no real context. Here's hoping this A to Z look at my job will help shed some light on the place for you ( Read more... )

Although more money would be nice, I'm certainly in no hurry. I'm in a transition phase right now, ( Read more... )

I'm in a play. It's called "Patchwork," and it's for children. It has a cast of four, and I have to say the other three people are pretty good. I feel pretty rusty, espically when I keep getting the same very obvious blocking notes. The only thing I'm concerned about is that nobody is off book yet, and the show dates are the 5th&6th, and we' ( Read more... )

Well, actually, I guess it's hard to convert from nothing. Also, I think the congeration has to accept me ( Read more... )

This week has been crazy. And not just random crazy or good crazy, but more like I will look back at most of this week as one of the most definitive times in my life(and maybe a few other people's,) crazy ( Read more... )

Well, the job's still going really well, except it's even more part time than I realized, so I'm going to have to find a 2nd job. But I have to say It's kinda cool to already have had two sunburns before April ( Read more... )
