09:17 pm: Latest and Greatest
Tempus is so fugit! I am working at the lab sometimes more than forty hours and I still feel that I have not finished all that I set out to do. Take today for example; I finished twice the amount of initiations and did all of the collections and preped for tomorrow, but I still wish I could have had more time to do the other ones. Alright, I am not a total worker-24/7 - tomorrow the girls and I are going out for margaritas so it will definitely not be work. Anyway, I have just been feeling a little depressed in the happiness area and if anyone has any extra fortune or karma to spare I will be grateful. Thanks.

06:27 pm: Snapshot
I'm back from Ohio and still working out the kinks of life. I will be finding out about the laboratory work in the next few weeks. It's probably a very good thing because I have been filling up on chinese food while networking with the administrative heads. I guess the good news is free food, but I am not quite sure if I can fully fulfill the requirements that they are demanding of me. And, I fear that another move is in the works. At least one small bit of good news shines forth, and that is my out-of-country trip planned for the next few months. It will be a relief to leave the fluorescent lights, 10 pt font, and volumes of cataloged materials behind me for hitting up the beaches, sight-seeing, and the blue of the ocean. No I didn't take that guy up on the oceanography offer - I just accepted an invitation at vacation. So, I guess I'd better get back to work before I become too much of a slacker.

08:20 pm: Holidays and Defiance
I guess you could say that I have passed through another phase of my life unscathed....but that would not be entirely true. After the demolition of my past life is over and I gaze on the shattered remains of what was and think about what is.....I can only conclude that life goes on. I have recently experienced something that I thought I would never have happen to this little family of mine. Instead of a single household, I now find myself with two. Last week, I helped my mother move some furniture into her condo in Florida. We have a tentative plan for my coming back there around the first week of the new year and going shopping for some more stuff. I am glad that her new job seems to be treating her better than her old one as far as valuing her and her accomplishments. It is also a whole lot less stressful. It is a lot quieter and more barren without her presence here. I think I will be making the trip south quite often if only to have time to see her. I threw myself into my work so as to avoid any real emotional conflict with life's turn of reality. I think I may have proven myself a liability with the extent of my recent diligence. I hope it will go unnoticed at least for now. I continue to play the role of matchmaker for friends....especially given the fact that it's the perfect season for it. Unfortunately, personal happiness is remaining elusive even despite any attempt at relationships. One note of happiness is that Midyear is coming up in a few weeks and I will be able to hang out with the girls for new years in Illinois. As a generalization, work and school stuff take up the majority of my current life. I wonder how long it will last. Anyways, that's all from me for now.

01:11 pm: The Way Things Are
I have noticed a certain neglect that has become a recent pattern to my lively posting which I am currently rectifying. Let me first go off on a rant about how frustrating the economy is and indirectly encompass political agendas and personal biases into the issue. Well, work goes as work goes. I have decided that it is much easier to obtain employment rather than additional education. Last week I started feeling nostalgic and decided to try and compile my family tree. It would be nice to know one's ancestry further than pure oral tradition likewise I also want my future generations to know about their ancestors. Unfortunately, in order to find the resources I need, I actually have to locate records that are in peril of being destroyed or lost due to blood-feuds and archaic political practices. On another note, I have joined the crowd of JAG groupies as well as maintaining my previous loyalties to entertainment. Farscape: PKW is back as well as the comedy of ABC's DHW. It's a little crazy, but after Pretender, I'm happy to see Lyle in a better light. Well, I guess that concludes this session for the time being. The day is calling.......

01:16 pm: September Workings
I am back and have slept off the sleep deprivation from travelling. Thankfully the clubbing on Saturday was not anything too horrific. There was an issue with over-drinking but in all of our different states we were able to take care of her and had no problems afterwards. Luxe was actually a nice little small-scale joint and a pleasing place to party. Both of the guys behind the bar were good-looking but one of them was a complete jerk! At least the drinks were free...I found a new drink :Mar...something sour....reminded me of Pims in England:. The dj kept the dance-worthy music on so there were no odd times, except when some guys got too drunk and started rubbing up against us. That was pretty sketchy. I am questioning which is the more difficult pursuit for out-of-state people: getting into schools or getting jobs. This is not even mentioning the residence issue...AAAHHH!!! Oh well....I have another occupation for my time....I am the new Philanthropy Chair for DPL. It is going to be a lot of work but should be very fun and rewarding.

10:32 pm: And the Wheels of the Ages Turn Once Again
I have officially escaped the horrible month of August! It was okay. I got together with some friends for margaritas/tacos and football. We won!!! I also dropped by the high school for my brother, who needed to turn in a paper but was sick, and met up with my old AP European History teacher. I hope he does not retire next year because I really think my little brother would enjoy the Europe trip, although from our discussion the group number is getting larger per year. Anyways, I have been packing up the massive amount of stuff that this pack-rat has accumulated throughout the 21 years of life. I found lots of old photos of me when I was younger, an old friends tie :unfortunately after Italy we lost touch:, and so much more, but I still have not found my lion-head seal ring which is really bothering me. Well, my stuff is about 23% packed now, which only leaves the rest of the room and the storage too, but it will be quickly finished unless I run out of boxes or memories. I am going to Athens for a few days. With any luck it'll be quite productive. We'll have to see.

12:24 am: I was a little surprised to hear about today's Olympic events....Apparently, the Americans in the Men's 100M Free were unable to move on from the preliminaries, so there will not be a participant from here. This occurence is something of a rarity, so it was a little shocking. Oh well. Fortunately, the van's back from Team Dodge......which is good because that means the tracker, van, and golf cart were able to be fixed in no time. The truck's still working fine, even at 100,000+ miles on it, which I am happy to say I did the majority of it. :D We still have to get the porsche's air fixed, but in a couple of years we'll be able to get the antique car license plate and such, so it will be interesting. I still search the night's sky, but so far the stars hold no answers that they once did for me.....tal es vida....Good night

11:35 pm: Uneasy in PTC
Today marked the last day to be pushed around by annoying, power-hungry people. My mother turned in her resignation letter to her boss after receiving her latest evaluation. She turned a $2million draining department and turning it into a $2.5 million+ profit....yet because of political posturing and such :a major negative aspect to all respectable high level jobs: she is constantly told that she is underperforming....what does she have to do, fly? It just blows my mind the crazy aspects of life. Oh well....I guess I'll go chill for the night.

05:18 pm: August Blues....and Greys
It is already August again...I don't think I like this month very much at all. Schools start this month....too many people have died during this month....every year this month signifies leaving and possibly losing touch with friends...nope, if there is one month out of the year to not like, August would be it. On the positive side of the day, I did negotiate a cyber-compromise with my computer. All it took was a little demonstration of which one of us had individual self-awareness...and a few typed commands....but now things in the cyberworld are going that much more smoothly and functioning. In addition to that, my lessons are going so slowly. At this rate, I think it is a real possibility that I will never become fluent. In conclusion, August still is a really annoying time of year. hmmm....It just occured to me, while partaking in the "blogging" trend....I kind of feel like Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail"....just without the hopeless romantic part. That may be weird, but here I am spouting off the adventures of my life...all written down in text, minus the appropriate grammar and all....I guess this is just another tool for socialization...feeling connected with fellow people through technology...oh how I wish to have lived in the time of the ancients.

YIKES!!! I just noticed I have not updated in a while...:must be losing my touch: Anyways, I am glad the month is almost over. July is always a really weird time...it gets way too hot, the pollution gets way too unbreathable, and nothing good ever seems to happen during this time. I have been getting random nightmares recently, but nothing like what I used to get earlier. Last night was a pretty vivid one about how there was a massive storm that increased the sea-depth. There was some convention being held in NY, and the hotel were everyone was staying got flooded. There was great panic and hysteria. I remember this one part...there was a group of elementary and middle-school children who got caught out in the tide and were being pulled out to sea. A rescue boat was coming so the children just floated along waiting for the rescue. An unforeseen event happened. There was a gathering of sharks around the children and the former totally and brutally devoured the latter. During this I was merely an observer. I watched it from the perspective of the flooded ruins of a near-by building. I shouted and screamed from them to swim to the building, to get out of the water, to move...but my shouts were in vain because no one heard me and I could not move to help them. It was aweful. I think I am just getting the jitters about facing life and growing up and all that. Oh well...I guess I have run out of better things to say, so I will say good-night.

12:19 pm: Holiday Weekend
This weekend was Independence Day weekend as I am sure many of you were aware. There was a parade and fireworks :two nights of them: and lots of red, white, and blue. The police force was more frequently observed along the highways, but for late night travellers, many times they just let speed slide if it was not too fast. :not saying that I tested the statement, only that it appeared that way from my point of view while on the roads: On a side note, I am thinking about changing my hair. I know that I said I wanted to let it grow to my knees, but I am looking for a nice change. I am currently thinking about ear-length in red or neck-lenghth in black. I do not have a definite choice yet. :still considering, but this way I can donate a few feet to charity and satisfy some people: On another side note, I went to a party last night. It was really fun. :well getting lost multiple times was not: There were so many people I did not know and only four I did, but it did not matter. After introductions were made, we socialized and partied like we had known eachother for a while. Last night was my first time trying cognac...I thought it was rather strong and bitter tasting. I figure my alcohol tolerance is still pretty high, especially when I can maintain the mental focus of thought. I figure I do not like taking shots, but for curiousity's competition sake I might do it to some extent. All beer still tastes like watered bread to me. :but that may just be my biased view from working in a yeast lab for two years: I am continuing to work through some ideas for me personally and have not reached any conclusions yet. Here concludes my latest psyche report. :P

11:32 pm: Who Did I Upset In a Previous Life?
I know there is more than a week's gap between my last life's post...to sum up things, life has not been that great. My uncle's passing has taken a toll on the entire family. For me, the dreaming aspect was the most disturbing but the topic of my nightly sequences has recently turned out less fatal. I decided to get out of town for a time, hopefully to enjoy a break from the battles of daily life. I ended up getting into an accident. It was not good, but there was no major damage, just a few burns...I spent most of the time sleeping. It was really painful to do anything...just sleeping hurt. I am home now and am able to walk...there is far less pain now, but still every now and then the remnants send up reminders to take it easy. I should go to sleep now...supposed to be taking it easy...but I just got bored...Good night!

We got word today that an uncle died last night. It's kinda left a rainy cloud over all of us. I guess there first was the shock of the news...then sadness...emptyness...We don't know when the funeral will be, but it's probably going to be held in Ohio where most of my mom's family lives. It's really crumby. I guess that's one of the advantages to having 7+ people per family tree branch...there is more time for having relatives still alive. Tonight another name will be added to ever-growing list of ancestors who have come before and given their lives to the furthering of humanity who we remember for their sacrifice. g-nite!

I met up with an old friend from high school.

Every time it is amazing to meet up with an old contact and find out how life has turned out. She was a sweetie in hs, and still is, and so was her fiancee. :so he was the nerdy-type, and still to some extent is, there is nothing wrong with that...people are people and if it works with their life and personality, then what they are is perfectly suited to them and nothing could be better: I wished her well in her life's travels and I'll check up with her later.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that is the best option for me...something to think about I guess...Laterz!

I have spent lots of time out in the kayak! I also acquired a massive sun burn! Ouch!!! Anyways, I love sleeping on the water. The gentle rhythmic motion of the lunar forces acting on the tides puts me into a deep cat-nap quite quickly, and it feels so good! In addition to napping on the lake, I have been reading one of my summer books ~ the one about the string theory and Einstein's search for the ultimate theory of the universe. I had to go to the mall for a wedding present. It is so difficult to find a good gift now-a-days. I also have been going virtual more lately. I completed some games I have been working on as well as others that I have started. I continue to plan for the next steps in my life while trying not to think too much about what I am leaving behind as I go. So far I have seven to ten good offers as well as two not so good ones. I am not sure if I am ready to start the rest of my life yet....I guess I am still looking for the better option as the clock ticks away. I watched the Last Samurai with one of my friends during which we got into a debate about the issue of a cause worth dying for and honor. It seems to me that life creates the heroes that it needs and then discards them when their services are no longer needed. The trick is to be the warrior whose sword is still needed and to die on the battlefield for your cause before you become obsolete. Here's to being the best you can be and dying before your competition's assassins get too close.
