I finally got a job offer. It's at a pizza place up the road from my house. Not glamorous, but I should probably just be grateful instead of picky at this point. I can't help but feel a little mismanaged though. Five years of computer repair experience amounts to this? Ugh ( Read more... )

So I was listening to Joe Purdy's "Waiting on Something Good," (for like the 2 billionth time) and I was just thinking about how much I like the lyrics:

baby, don't you go breakin' your back ( Read more... )

They say that the best way to achieve a goal is to have a focal point, a prime motivating factor, one which can provide inspiration and drive when the going gets tough.

My brother is home from college for the summer. Somehow in the time that he was gone he managed to get ridiculously talented at the original N64 Smash Brothers.

Tomorrow is my last day of statistics, and I'll be ever so pleased when it's over. This is the first time in my college career where I'll be happy to pass with a B (but then again this is also the first time I've had a math class since the 11th grade). One more day! One more day and I toss this horrible thing back into the Mount Doom of my college ( Read more... )

Statistics can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

So I'm at the neighborhood pool with my nephew we're playing with this bag of pool toys. There are two giraffes, a hippo, some fighter planes, a pirate, and a knight. I put on this long, involved play about how the pirate and the knight are competing to steal a pair of explosive giraffes. But the problem is that they're at a Parisian airshow and ( Read more... )
