So it’s been a looong week and it’s only going to drag out farther. I spent my weekend staying busy. I went down to my father’s for food and to greet Aaron when he got back from Michigan. He finished up with a 13 hour drive, so he was pretty exhausted. Then I drove up to see Dana and her roommates. I do enjoy their company and think they are a phenomenal group. There was a run-in with their neighbors that eventually lead to name calling and angry tones. Wasn’t very awesome.

Hello again. Two updates back to back? This is insanity! Didn’t get a chance to stop by the auto store today but last night was quite enjoyable. I hung out with Dana, David, Anni, and Sara and Sabio, Sara’s boy toy at the time. It was a lot of fun and we reminisced on the old days.

The next morning we left for Flying Biscuit and gave Dave a tour of Little 5. I’ve recently made it a point to be a little more willing to participate in things and was willing to listen to anyone who talked to us there. We actually were approached by a Indian monk of Bhagavad Gita, a religion started by Sir Krishna. He showed me a book, about 500 pages thick, which he later left in my hands. It was interesting to hear him talk, and he asked for “donations only” and “every little bit helps” which was promptly followed by “I usually get $20 for these books”. I thought this was a strange approach to donations, so I gave him what I could.

A few other things on the brain. I am about ready to finally get my butt in gear to get my A+ certification. This is something I haven’t talked about in over a year, since I got hired at Pilgrim’s Pride. I’ve been yearning for something new, and I figured this is something that A) will come pretty naturally, B) can only help me in my career choices and C) something I’ve always wanted to do. So I’m currently going through books and practice tests. Unfortunately it costs $200 to take both of the tests, and I’m not even sure just how long before it expires. But it’s on the list.

I’ve been extremely productive as of late. It’s quite strange, but a welcome change.

So if you are reading this through the site and not through an RSS feed, you will have noticed a lot of changes. I will be fixing the banner up again, but I’m a little lazy right now. Setting all this up was quite a task, but a lot faster than last time. Feeling good about this layout too.

I have a few things to do so I’m going to make this post brief. I was going to Savannah to see my mother this weekend, but as always something comes up. My car’s seat belt decided last night that it didn’t want to work anymore. It locked up and won’t come down at all anymore. I ran around a bit today and unfortunately was not able to get it fixed before close. So I have to do it tomorrow, so my schedule went crazy.

My 3sexy went the road of the infamous RROD. It was a sad night, but I’m not that upset. My family has been surprised at my lack concern to get it fixed immediately. I only play 2 or 3 games on it on a regular basis, and those are always with someone. Ah well.

Lastly, I haven’t had an interest in buying a new piece of technology since I’ve gotten my TV, until just the other day. I’m not sure when it was released, as I’m never really on the cutting edge anymore, but I am quite interested in the Kindle 2. It’s within a reasonable price range finally, but I’m not sure I’m ready to invest. One thing I have mixed feelings about is their choice to go B&W only. I know given the technology and the need to create a screen that doesn’t require back lighting to simulate an actual newspaper, but I’m curious if they will attempt it in the future.

Well that’s about it. I will finish my tangent thought this weekend, promise. Love and turpentine to all.
