Owner's mentality

I was reading my aggregated feeds the other day, when what do I come across? A post by Paul Murphy that quoted one of my posts... I have to admit that it was a little weird coming across something like that. Generally, I have always gone into this blogging thing as though no one reads my ramblings.....

I know French...

Or at least I did in a dream that I had last night. It was a pretty realistic dream, and I can definitely remember the latter part of it. It involved me at a coffee bar of sorts. At the point I can remember, I was talking to a waitress (I think) and got her number. I had planned to go out with her within...

Web communities (warning... ramblish)

It's really weird to be on the forefront of technology sometimes. I'm not saying that I'm bleeding edge, but I would consider myself ahead of the majority of internet users. For example, it appears as though blogging has really taken off to the masses in 2004. I gave a speech about blogs & rss in...

Cleared my mind of built up feelings about a friend

I talked with a friend tonight... She was once my best friend, someone I confided in, and will always be with me in one way or another. Anyway, I had been thinking about us for a while and I wanted to get some things off of my mind. I had the conversation swirling through my mind for a couple weeks because...

Doubting life

I'm not really sure what pre-empted it, but this past Sunday evening, I became very depressed/curious about life in general. I was pretty hung over that day, so that might have had some sort of effect on it. Did the alcohol from the night before just kick in as a depressant that day? Probably, but I...

Installed a garage door opener

This weekend, I installed a garage door opener. I picked up the cheapest ($130) one I could find at Sears and figured it would be a snap to put in. It wasn't hard, but it took longer than expected. Since there was no prior opener, I had to build a structure, coming from the middle of the garage ceiling...

New car and a story from the old car

After 9 years, I decided it was time to retire my 88 Honda Accord... I have been through quite a bit with that car, and it saddens me to close that chapter of my life. At the same time, I can't express how happy I am with my new car ( 2004 Saab 93 Arc ). Some of the major events that happened with my...

Great interview w/ Bill Murray

I'm a fan of Bill Murray.... this is probably one of the better interviews (by Jessica Lee Jernigan) that I've read, and the fact that it involves Bill is just a nice cherry on top. I would really enjoy reading interviews if they flowed so smoothly as this... it gives you a feeling for how the person...

Weird surgery dream....

Last night I had a weird dream... It originally involved me giving a c-section to an opossum type of animal. I was astonished by the number of babies that I pulled out.. They came out in a tangled group and many of them were cold and dead. That's pretty much all I remember about that portion of the dream...

My Vote 2004

Yep, I voted yesterday... It really wasn't a bad process, though I do think there is room for improvement. Overall, it took about 45 minutes for me to get in, register, and cast a vote... I did find out that I didn't meet the must live for at least 10 days at the registered address. Apparently that didn...
