Remember that car of mine….
…that got stolen in May? HPD just called and said they found it in a storage lot not more than 2 miles from my apartment. Since all tows have to be requested by the apt complex, and no order was given, I can assume that the tow was illegal. Also, all tows have to be [...]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I know I haven’t been writing much lately. There really isn’t any excuse for it except that I haven’t really had the desire to write anything – there’s nothing really exciting going on. The only event of any real significance to come about lately is that my mother has been diagnosed with massive kidney [...]
Tempus Fugit
I’ve been meaning to post this since Saturday. In addition to being the much touted Veteran’s Day, Saturday was my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. That’s right- 40 years. In a time when marriages have a lifespan averaging 3-5 years, 40 years seems like an eternity. To celebrate, I took my dad to an Ethiopian restraunt [...]
Getting settled in
I’m just getting settled into my new position at work. I’ve transferred from being the head trainer of a dying business to being a network security analyst. With all the charts, graphs, pages, etc. that I need to keep an eye on, it’s a big help to be ADD. So far, things are going quite [...]
Pondering the future
I’ve been really busy over the last week trying to deal with an ongoing issue at work. Last week, management announced that the department in which I work is being closed. Everyone in that department is having their jobs eliminated. Fortunately, I have been able to get a position in the networking department, so I’m [...]
Good news/bad news
Last week, I sheared off the back of one of my back teeth. I went to the dentist on Thursday, and found that it was just a stress fracture, and not caused by any decay or other mouth problems. That was the good news. The bad news is that my blood pressure was really high, [...]
Shameful admission
As an avid PC user, I have a shameful admission to make. I just got a 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo Macbook with 512M RAM running OSX 10.4.7. It runs fast and smoother than my desktop 2.6Ghz Athlon64 w/ 1G RAM running WinXP x64. To benchmark, I fired up as many programs as I could on [...]
I’m still here
A lot of issues having to do with work, school, and home life have kept me very busy, and I haven’t had much time to devote to blogging. When things settle down, I’ll be back to regular posting.
Musings
As a treatment for my writer’s block, a friend of mine suggested that I write about my feelings. Truth be told, this is rather difficult as I don’t like discussing my feelings with anyone. My feelings, my emotions, are just that: mine. No one else’s. Simply put, I don’t like it when others try to [...]
Musings on the family
It has been almost two months since Star passed away. I had been prepared for the loss for a long time, both intellectualy and emotionally, but sometimes my mind runs away from me. There are still times when I wish I could pick up the phone and give her a call, to hear her voice, [...]
