On the Summer...
Posted Aug 20, 2006
For one, it's over. Bloody hell, I didn't see that one coming, although I'm somewhat glad it is. My summer has been a busy one, and rewarding all the same. I spent my weekdays occupied working, full time, as an intern for Caterpillar. My frustrating business systems analysis class actually paid off, and my programming knowledge actually led me to be able to create three separate programs that are usable, two of which are actually spreading around in my department, increasing productivity and all that good stuff.
All my work there paid off in another way, too; my last day, I received a call from Caterpillar's HR department, and walked away with a job offer for when I graduate. This is phenomenal, really. They'll be paying me a very tidy sum as far as starting pay is concerned, and lifts a few great weights off my mind. From here on, my financial concerns for the future are much more limited. I'll be able to buy a car, get a house, and (someday) support a family. No rush, though, for I am back at school, hurrah!
Now, I may get some odd responses due to my endless enthusiasm at the beginning of this school's year; I don't care. I truly enjoy it here. A wonderful view, good friends, good classes, not to mention free food and spare time to kill. I also might add that Ellie and I are a good hour and a half closer, which is wonderful. I'm hoping to see her this weekend; it's been nearly a month since we last saw each other, and she's been on my mind for a little while every day. Lord knows I love that girl. ^_^;
Anyhow, I must away. Dinner is soon, and I'd be a fool to miss it.
Respectfully yours,
Mystrunner

I'm Ticked...
Posted Jan 24, 2006
It really ticks me off, the way Christians get discriminated against some times. For example...
People are moving to replace the good ol' B.C. and A.D. divisions in time with these newfangled B.C.E. and C.E. That's rubbish! So you don't believe in Jesus? Okay then, if you're gonna remove that, you'll also have to do away with January (Janus), February (Februus), March (Martius/Mars), May (Maia), and June (Juno), all of which are named after gods. Gah! Why can't people just leave things that are working well enough alone?
Excuse my frustration, I just needed a good place to vent.

For All You Role Players...
Posted Mar 11, 2004
I was driving home today, and inspiration struck. An organized, flexible roleplaying system! Something to end the endless godmodding!
So, if you have any suggestions, advice, ideas, whatever, please tell me! I'd like to see this work out.

Tomorrow...
Posted Sep 24, 2003
Fire and light make their way,
From the edge of night and day,
Speeding ‘cross grey morning sky,
To the place where all hopes lie.
In the days yet to be,
Hope exists and there is free,
Pain not dreamt, worries far gone,
Anger soothed at sight of dawn.
Morning light, ever divine,
It carries with hopes of mine,
For future days, yet to be,
A life of joy, eternally.

Seito Matumura Ryu...
Posted Sep 11, 2003
is what I have started. Yes, you unbelievers, I am now on my way, learning the martial arts, in the hopes that I will someday be able to prevent getting the everloving crap beaten out of me.
Man, I'm sore. Seriously, though, I've changed my outlook on things. I'm actually /working out/. I work at a health club, have worked there for three years, and I am now, finally, using it. I'm even going to take yoga to get bendy. I may even start developing muscle tone... 
Bah. Who knows?
