Exciting weekend!

It has been a busy, but exciting weekend so far.  We closed on our new house Friday.  Since then we have been looking over the place and trying to move small loads of stuff.  (The idea being when everyone shows up to help with the big move next weekend, it is hopefully just going to [...]

Ready for the weekend

Well the weekend is finally here for me. Looking forward to getting a little break from life in Jamestown. Not that it is going bad of course, but the fact that it is looking more like a marathon than a summer coming up. So a nice calm before the storm.

Weekend plans and racing

This weekend - it is nice to not have any specific plans.  Like I mentioned before one of the goals is to try to make a lot of progress on the packing/cleaning of our rental house.  I split the house into zones and have a schedule of when to get each zone cleaned and organized.  [...]

News, entertainment, keeping in touch, games, etc. The potential list goes on for a while. The post about abandoning myspace came after sitting down and asking myself that exact question. “What was I really getting out of the time I was [...]

New dedication to this site

I will paste below this, my “myspace” post. The gist is however, I would rather upkeep this blog, than the mired mess of other social profiles I have managed to get myself into.
In all reality, I have overbooked myself. I tried to upkeep this site, myspace, facebook, firefigher nation, deviantART, work blogs, (play [...]

Ok ok… blog time!

So I got told I am a slacker and don’t blog enough. (Well the exact words were… you must be boring since you never blog anymore… close enough to slacker.)  Well most of this is a repost of my MySpace blog… but I am adding to it, so it will be even longer than the [...]
