Incoherant Ramblings

Irony

2009-01-07T20:55:00.000-08:00

Sure, as soon as I go out and buy a truck, the snow melts to the point where I can easily get around in my car. Murphy loves me. I don't regret buying the truck though.

Snow Removal

2009-01-05T18:42:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it's still snowing. We finally got around to shoveling off the roof of the house, since several roofs have collapsed in town. Mostly garages and barns and stuff, but better safe then sorry. I just so happened to have my camera in my pocket so I got some action shots. Of me shoveling snow. Off a roof. Because that is so very fascinating. But it covers the 365 requirement. Day 5

Impulsiveness is one of my attributes, it might not be the best attribute to have, but I am definitely impulsive. In car buying 101, they tell you not to buy the first car you see. They also suggest a host of other tips on buying a used car to avoid buying a lemon and making sure you got a decent vehicle, probably 90% of which I completely ignored. I bought the first vehicle I saw. Right now,

So, I can't move my car out of the driveway. Really, I think it's the lack of traction on the tires, it kind of sunk in its spot that it's been parked in since Christmas Day and I haven't moved it since. So I attempted to dig it out today, trying to at least move it a little more forward in the driveway so we can a little more room with a car or something, but alas, my attempt ended in

Snowboarding at Schweitzer

2009-01-04T19:17:00.000-08:00

So I went snowboarding yesterday at Schweitzer. It was glorious snowboarding conditions, though a little on the cold side and I found out I had the wrong wax on my board because I was having trouble getting anywhere. And for being the third time visiting Schweitzer, (the first time it was icey, the second time resulting in global transient amnesia) I learned that Schweitzer is a skier's

Blogger Down???

2009-01-02T23:37:00.001-08:00

For some reason, my blogging service has been down, I'm not sure why, but I've still been blogging with the hope that it will soon be up again. Hmm. . . I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works this time, but if it doesn't, I think I'm going to have to do a little research to see if I can get it working again and what's the problem. Well, we're still getting plenty of snow in my part of the

Resolutions - 2008/2009 Edition

2009-01-01T11:11:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year! Every year I make resolutions and post them on my website, then look back to see how I did the previous year. This year? Er, I don't think I did so well. Let's see, shall we?. Resolutions for 2008 Paint more (I told you, it would be back) Well, how about that. I did paint more then I did the year before, even if it was only one painting. That I haven't completed yet. I'm

2008 Year in Review

2008-12-31T14:24:00.001-08:00

My traditional list of questions, I've been doing this for a few years now. I need to maybe ad a few questions, but we'll see. 01. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before? I went skydiving and caving. Maybe next year I'll get bungee jumping in there? 02. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I'll make new years resolutions again, of

Best and Worst - Movies 2008

2008-12-30T00:12:00.000-08:00

This year was a not my movie year. I didn't watch a whole lot of anything, but I did see some good ones, as well as some not so good ones. Hmm. . . Meanwhile, I thought I would give my own spin on the best and worst movies of 2008. Of course, there is a slight disclaimer, these are movies I've seen, so there might be better movies out there, and there might be worst movies. but I think overall

The Last Few Days

2008-12-29T13:33:00.000-08:00

After being snowed in for about a week and a half, I finally managed to get out and enjoy the weather. On Christmas eve I headed over to the parent's house and hung out with family all day christmas day. But on Friday and Saturday, I went snowboarding, and yesterday I hit up Wild Walls and did a little wall climbing. It was nice when I didn't have to drive anywhere, but it looks like I'm

Army

2008-12-24T13:38:00.000-08:00

I got an interesting email exchange going with this person. I thought I would share. Original Email: Are you for real or made up ? Reply: What? RE Re: A real solider. RE re re: No, you got me, it's a huge ploy I've made up, and I got everyone including the army fooled. But damn, you saw right through it. Found it amusing. :)

Ho-Hum Stuffs

2008-12-24T13:28:00.000-08:00

So, after being snowed in for the last week or so, I'm finally getting out of the house to go do something more constructive. Like spend time with Family and Friends. And there is a very strong possibility at this moment that I might be going back to Knox, but it's not confirmed. This is the last time I will speak about it. If I suddenly post a blog saying "I'm in Kentucky," you'll know I'm

Rock Band Story - Endless Setlist

2008-12-21T03:08:00.001-08:00

SO there I was, I'm still a little cautious about driving unless absolutely necessary so I'm still a little bit snowed in. Though I did manage to dig my car out of the pile of snow today, I didn't go anywhere. I decided to play a little rockband however, just because it's a fun game, and I was playing it online with other people when I decided to try to get some more things unlocked on my

Christmas Wish

2008-12-20T15:13:00.001-08:00

Read this story of a little girl who only wants Christmas Cards for Christmas, as she is suffering from glioblastoma multiforme, which is a rare brain tumor, and she has been given only a few more weeks to live. I'm sure she will appreciate them even if she gets them after the holiday. Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bed and cannot really do anything or

Snowed In

2008-12-18T10:40:00.000-08:00

I'm not going to even bother going outside today. I would like to go snowboarding sometime this week, but I think i need to first be able to dig my car out of the driveway before I think of going anywhere. Yes, under that pile of snow somewhere is a car. More specifically, MY car. Its predicted to keep coming down until about seven this evening, which i can rejoice in because if I ever do

Bush Dodges Shoe, Left Laments

2008-12-17T13:31:00.000-08:00

Alright, for all his faults and especially with this Bailout crap over the last few months, President Bush has been a severe disappointment (though his popularity rating continues to be higher then congress), but I don't hate the man. Actually, as a person, Presidency aside, I really like George Bush. I have a feeling he'll be just fine once he leaves the whitehouse, though his legacy might not

Holy Crap it's COLD!!!

2008-12-16T09:21:00.000-08:00

Holy crap it's COLD!!! I was pretty much stuck in my house for the last few days because i didn't get snow tires on my car before the snow hit, and it's pretty much the kind of car you don't drive anywhere without snow tires when its cold. Yesterday was frigid too. I got in my car to take it to get the tires changed when I was subtly reminded that it's time to change the batteries.

DC - Post the Third

2008-12-12T11:24:00.000-08:00

Day six - October thirdish. And my third day in DC. Yeah, I haven't finished my Leave Speech. And I can't think of anything else to blog about in my very boring life right now. So I'll blog about the more exciting part of the year. This day, I decided to plan out my trips on the metro and bought a pass to cover the trips I would take. It worked like a charm. First: White House I

If you ever wonder what soldiers do on a drill weekend. Um, we do lot's of stuff. Hooah training exercises, high speed power point presentatons, and Robot Chicken. Yes, when there is a lull in training, there is nothing we like to do more in our unit then quote Star Wars Spoofs. EDIT - Eh, it was only a matter of time before that video was ganked from

Plaxico Burress on Gun Safety

2008-12-08T19:31:00.000-08:00

So who is Plaxico Burress? Well, apparently the center of the joke is he's an NFL Football player for the Giants who shot himself in the leg with his gun while in a Nightclub. There's a bit of a fall out in regards to it too, though I hadn't heard of it until I saw this spoof. I think there are way to many people out there who own guns and don't have a freakin' clue how to properly handle

My Life as a Drill Sergeant

2008-12-07T22:17:00.001-08:00

It's been long enough, mission is long over, many of the souls involved have since completed training and are fully indoctrined into the Army. I've been out for more then a month. I think it's safe to tell you my summer story. Now this comes with a side note, and an explanation perhaps of what exactly happened. For my job, looking back, I learned quite a bit in my summer in Kentucky, but

Vanity Shots

2008-12-03T22:26:00.000-08:00

Every now and then, I make myself look nice and go get some pictures taken. Such was the case today. Then I take them home and play with them in Photoshop for a while. Photoshop is the best thing ever for messing with pictures. I love my camera. It is awesome. These action shots, where you jump around like a total goofball, it makes it easy to get the pose because it takes six shots a

The Taurus Judge

2008-12-01T15:28:00.000-08:00

So, I picked up my new gun on Friday. Saturday we did our annual turkey day range where we took various firearms and familiarized ourselves with them. I only shot a couple, mostly because later I found out I was a little under the weather (also hence why I'm a little late posting about my gun, but going into detail would fall under the TMI department) but I did get plenty of Judge time in.

Twilight

2008-12-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

I have a confession to make. I've read these books. I have siblings who have read these books and gush over how great they are (well, one in particular, love ya Corinne) and just out of morbid curiousity and the fact that they are a very quick read, I read them. Actually, I just finished the last book in the series, which makes me wonder, as a person who has a penchant for making up

Stuff

2008-11-26T22:21:00.000-08:00

Things have been somewhat quiet on the blog front. Its the holiday season, so the family is in town and we are all hanging out over at the Parent's house. I took my Rock Band 2 game on Xbox and got everyone (but my dad) addicted. He loves it when I do that. I finished at least the 50,000 words of my NanoWrimo novel, enough to say I completed the task, even if the novel is not done and I
