Happy Birthday to Me


Yesterday was my birthday. I'm 26 years old now.



Today was the last day of class for the spring semester. If you didn't know I've been pursuing a master's degree in information systems up at unt. It was kind of sad walking off campus tonight, knowing I wouldn't be back for a while.



I'm not planning on taking summer classes; actually I have no plans whatsoever. I imagine I'll start up again in the fall, which will be here soon enough. Who knows maybe I'll tack on a class at the end of summer if I get motivated. I am not exactly in a hurry though. The master's thing is mostly an entertainment thing, since I really still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.



Year 25 was an interesting one upon reflection. I've grown in many ways... even a beard (think Dante from Clerks). I did the whole going back to school thing. At work, I changed cubicles and moved back to a former building. Made a few new friends, and lost track of some. More people I know got married, though the weddings are starting to blur in my memory.



I just wish I could win the lottery so I can redefine my life, for better or worse. It may seem silly pin hope on such an improbable thing, but that's seems to be what I need to make something happen in my life. Something has to shake my foundation, and the lotto would be the most benign. Anything else would more than likely have worse consequences. Really I'm just looking for security, like most people.



The web site is going through revisions again. Changed the style for the underlying pages, so now things are light instead of dark. No real color to speak of, since I'm more comfortable with grays. Expect the homepage to change soon, as I want all the pages to be more cohesive. Just trying to put my creative energies somewhere. I hope someone finds it entertaining.

Ice and Stuff


It got all nasty with ice and stuff, so I didn't go to work. I took pictures instead!

After a period of Neglect...


As always this update comes after a long period of neglect. I have my reasons though. I've been taking a web development course and thus all my web skills were needed for that. Also my life's finally managed to find someone to love. It was worth the wait, as she's really quite stupendous.



Since my class is now coming to an end I'll be tweaking the web site some. I've already been making some changes on the music player, which just makes it work a little better. I've added some more music to it as well. My vacation time is just around the corner, so I should have some more time for personal creativity.



If you've got some ideas for useful utility programs, interesting links, or any other inspirations just send them my way.



In the interim be sure to check out slashdot.org for the latest news that matters!

Back to School


I've started back to school again, this times a Masters from the School of Library and Information Sciences. Don't be so surprised, I have worked in a library before. Actually its the Information Science bit that I'm interested in.



I actually took note of the slis school 3 years ago when I was working on my first degree. I still can't believe its been three years since I got out of school and into that corporate cubicle job. This whole going back to school thing is to help me find a way out of that little box... at least that's what I'm hoping.



It does feel great to be a student again. It also feels good to be surrounded by people with similiar interests... and age for that matter. I feel so out of place at work sometimes... especially if I end up in a room filled with folks talking in languages I don't understand.



The preceeding has been my take on my current state of being... to be updated... you know, when ever.
