| Man, I didn't realize that it has been nearly a month since I've
written new stuff in here. I'm suprised that the Internet is still
functioning without my contributions.
But in the intervening months, there has been some interesting stuff
thats been going on. I'm more or less extremely pleased with myself.
I'm in a pretty happy place as a person, I think I've figured out a
good course for college, how I'm going to do all of that, pay for it
and everything else. So it should be ok.
I've made a couple of resolutions for this year. I'm going to develop
my climbing habit further this year. Jackie and I are going to get a 12
pack, (ab muscles, not beer) I'm going to get that college thing
handled, and I'm going to have fun doing all of these things.
Niego ended, which is sad. That had become my favorite comic online,
but now its done. The FatHead is the new comic that Jason is doing, its
only three strips in, but its good stuff, from what I can see.
I don't really know what to say. This web log thing has become foreign
to me. I guess that you all that maybe do read this can expect more
infrequent updates than I have already been doing. But thats not a bad
thing.
You guys behave. Or, have fun not behaving.

| What are the haps my friends? What are the haps.
For me, the haps and digs are as follows. Things, by which I mean life,
goes superbly smooth. Sublime is one of several ways to place my
existence experiment.
Sure, I've got boats of stress, and callipygiate amounts of issues to worry about. But I'm a happy dude.
The last couple of days, I've been listless and I've felt that I don't
know what to do with myself, but I realized that what I've been feeling
is essentially amount my being content. I'm not used to this feeling,
so it will take some adjustment.
And I think that I've found a potential area of study for my college
life this coming year. The Classics. Which are as Twain so eloquently
put, "those books which everyone wants to have read, but no one wants
to read." For some people, science or math helps them make connections.
For me, its literature. I see why this is taboo or where this custom
came from or somesuch as that and it makes sense. All the little bits
click in my head and I get a clearer picture of what is going on in the
grander scheme of things. To find my future, I think I'm going to look
backward.
Also, I think that I'll be staying here. I have a great engaging fun
job already at the University, which will be there, with increased
benefits next year, for me. I have reasonable tuition rates, which I
can totally handle. I have a sweet, kind, girl who isn't crazy, who
likes me and will be going there next year. But I want to take a moment
on that, that isn't why I want to stay here. She is most excellent, but
she isn't the motivation for staying here. I've learned enough by this
point that thinking so would be silly and short-sighted of me. So that
isn't the reason.
...throw me to the wolves, because there's order in the pack. Throw me to the sky because I'm never coming back...
Also, expect infrequent updates to this thing from now on. The haps are good, my dearest associates. They are good indeed.

| For the last several days, I have been in a state of constant agitation
and I don't know why. I think it came to a point last night while at
Sara's party, I was at the house of one of my best friends in the whole
world, with people that I like; and I couldn't stand any of them.
I had my first food today at 6:45 pm, and I got up at 9:30 am. I spend
all of today at work troubleshooting network stuff and I realized that
I can see why it is so easy to get "married to your work." When I was
fixing the computer stuff, I didn't think about the parts of my life
where I am inadiquate and lacking, I didn't think about any of the
things in my life that aren't going like I want them to, nor did I
think about the things in my life that are going exceedingly well. I
can't claim that I was having a zen moment today, but I think that it
was certainly active meditation. The most important thing in the world
was making sure that eight numbers on a little screen matched with
eight numbers directly below them.
Actually, I need to qualify the previous statement about the people
that I was with, some of them I actually don't like. They fill me with
much trepidation and aggression.
So I decided that I wanted out of there and thats what I did. I
apologize to the people who tried to call me and ask what was wrong,
but honestly I didn't want to talk with anyone about it. It was my call
and I stand by it.
I shall continue to be agitated for a while yet, until something happens that makes me not want to be agitated.

| It makes me really sad that a nation as great as ours would elect a man
so clearly evil to the most prominent position in the world. It makes
me even more sad that the evidence keeps mounting for the corruption
that he fosters, and half of the American public still views him as a
good person.
Qur'an desecration, prisoner abuse and torture, lying about why we are
in a war, having the worst enviornmental policies in half a century and
may well be the entire century, running up the biggest national defecit
that the US has ever seen. These all are startling facts, not opinions,
these things happened and continue to do so. And Americans still
approve of this evil man.
There is a reason that many people in the world view Bush as the
anti-christ and its not because he is such a compassionate individual,
thats for damn sure.
I wonder if, in 50 years or so, history will think of Abu Ghraib will
be thought of the same way that Auschwitz is. I sure hope so. George
Bush is an evil man with evil policies and works for the good, not of
the people, but his own pockets and the pockets of his cronies. This is
a sad time that we live in.
