In CMCN.

Man I am tired today. I'm not sure if it's the beginnings of illness or just my lack of sleep beginning to catch up with me. I could use another 6 or 7 hours of sleep today. But not today. No can do. No free time today. Unfortunately.

On a side note, a friend's mom commented on my relationship status change in facebook. She said some nice things and it was encouraging. It's one thing for your friends to say nice things about you and it's another for someone who's not biased to say those same things. And that brings me to my next point. My relationship. It's facebook official now. That means it's real.

I was kinda bummed out about it because I told my pastor about my relationship and he didn't have quite the reaction I had hoped for. It's just a little discouraging. But everyone else in the life, leader wise, seems to be happy or ok with it. They all have offered up some great advice too. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Maybe I'm not.

New Stuff

Guess what?

I got a new computer! Not just any old computer either. It's 24" Apple iMac (3.06 ghz processor, nVidia 512 M Video Card, 1 TB 7200 rpm hdd, 16x SuperDrive dvd-rw/cd-rw). Gotta love it.

So pretty much my entire last week or so has just been me playing with and transferring stuff to my new computer. I like it a lot so far. I've been downloading plug-ins and stuff for compatibility. And I also had to figure out a way to write to my external hard drives, which are both NTFS, but I worked that out as well.

Nothing else new.

The Absence of CMCN 338.

I haven't updated in a while. That's probably because, for a series of good and proper reasons, CMCN 338 has been canceled. A lot has happened since last time. Let me fill you in.

First and foremost, Ladies, I am now off the market. This should not come as a suprise to you, my one blog follower, because you have already been told. As for anyone else who stumbles across this blog, I would just like to say "Boo-yah".

This week is absolutely killing me. I had to work 26 hours. That means open tuesday, close wednesday, open thursday, close friday and close saturday. I work at Starbucks by the way. So open means 5 am and close means 1030 pm. Lame! And that coupled with the 20 hours of classes I stupidly scheduled (2 tests this week) and the arrival of my new 24" iMac, yeah, I've been busy.

Well class is starting. I'm out.

Monotony

Today started as if it were a regular Thursday. I got about 3 hours of sleep and had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. As usual, I had to go into work at Starbucks. As usual, I had to work the Bar. As usual, I had to work alone. As usual, it was the longest four hours of my life. As usual.

I was feeling kind of sick and out of it for the last week or so, but I'm feeling better today. I seem to be a little more alert and clear-headed. I even had an idea for a short story. It would start with the line "Today is the last day of my life" and be a short story about the last day of a man's life. I would tell the story using details from my everyday life, which is pretty average and regular. I think it would be pretty realistic as I will be using real details from a real life other than just a story. Any thoughts?

Maybe it's just the realization of some great universal truths or the utter clarity which was bestowed upon me today, but today feels like a good day.

On a side note, my car is filthy.

The Beginning

Hi there. I'm new to the blog world. While I've enjoyed reading an infinite number of other people's blogs, this will be the first of my very own.

The first question I must propose then is how personal should a blog be?
Should I be sharing my innermost secrets?
Should I be bearing my soul here on the internet for countless numbers of middle aged men to read?

I am going to say no.

This blog will be a light journal for me, detailing my life on a (hopefully) weekly basis. Maybe you can find some inspiration in it. Maybe not. Ha.

Oh well, class is starting. Peace out.
