Well it’s that time of year again! Merry Christmas! I have been back home in St. Louis now for a week and it has been wonderful. It’s nice to see the fam again and the pets. Man each time I come home the animals are older and stiffer. One day I’ll come home and they’ll be dead . That is sad to think about it however inevitable it is.

Well, this week has been mostly staying up late and sleeping in late. It has been so nice to be able to do that without worrying about missing class or work. Happily this entry should be short simply because the week has been relatively uneventful. I’ve…

I haven’t been much good for anything lately. Between being sick for the past 3 weeks or so and it having just been October, my head and my heart just want to give up and lay down and die. It has all been way too much. Tonight as I began to play catchup on all my assignments, I came across several things I wrote years ago after Lorna’s death. It was a mistake to re-read them right now. They took me back and I haven’t been able to get hold of myself long enough to start back on my assignments in 8 hours now. Anyway, I felt like I should share these things with all 0 people who visit my…

I’m not sure why I even maintain this site. Honestly, I seldom write entries here. These personal websites for nobody’s like me seem to no longer be needed, what with facebook and myspace and twitter and all the other devices given us by the WEB gods to maintain contact and communication with people. However, when occasion permits, I still enjoy writing a few tidbits from time to time. In fact, here is one now!

Here is my quick life update. The semester is drawing to a close and I am behind, as usual, with my homework. I have two major projects that I need to be working on that I haven’t had much time for until now. I have to…

So I found something fun today… I exist as a town in Western Sweden.

I even have my own website to talk about myself as a town in Western Sweden! -> ME!

I have started my new major this last week.  I finally decided to pursue a BFA in Performing Arts Design through the Theatre Department at the U.  I am emphasizing in Sound Design.  It has been better than I had expected so far and things only are looking up for the months to come.  I have very unexpectedly been given an opportunity to design the sound for an upcoming production called Ring Around The Moon by Jean Anouilh.  I am so excited to be able to work with the head sound designer for the Pioneer Theatre Company, Joe Payne.  He is also one of my professors.  I have nothing but great things about Joe from everyone I’ve talked to and…

Something has been bothering me for a while now.  I wasn’t quite sure exactly what it was until yesterday but it’s been in the back of my mind since the end of last spring semester.

My family got our first computer back when I was about 10 or 11.  I remember being mystified by it.  It was amazing.  My life had been such up to that point that I really wasn’t sure exactly what it was or what you could do with it.  All I really remember is turning it on and seeing a black screen with a letter, a colon and a slash (c:\).  I had no idea what to do.  I started typing… “start”, “on”, “go”… finally I…

The summer is now almost gone and the fall semester will soon be upon me. Arrrgghhh. It is good though. I hope to be able to really step out of this shell I seem to have formed around myself in the last few years. I am living with my brother, John, and some other guys in a house in Salt Lake so this next year should be a ton of fun.

I spent the summer back home in St. Louis (as can be read about in previous posts) and I just got back to Salt Lake City a few days ago. However, I didn’t stay long. It was less than 24 hours before I was on a plane to Long…

OK so for the past 9 weeks I’ve been battling HP over an accidental damage warranty issue.  It is finally resolved and so I will now proceed to keep my promise to them…

It day was April 8th, 2008.  I was studying for my upcoming Physics exam with my laptop and a Mega 100 gallon Big Gulp from the local Sev.  As I sat there trying to figure out the difference between radial acceleration and tangential acceleration, my mind fogged, my eyes glazed over and my proverbial “train” jumped the tracks and hit a wall.  After what could have been hours or only a few moments, I wiped the drool off my chin and reached for my beverage in hopes…

I have arrived!… in St. louis.

For those who do not know, I have transplanted myself from Salt Lake City to St. Louis for the summer. There are so many reasons for this move but mainly because Protective’s office is out here and they want me to work full-time for the summer so it’s easier to be here. Another good reason is that I needed a change of scenery. I mean Salt Lake City is great and all but… well, I’ll stop that sentence there so as to not offend anyone.

I left Saturday, May 3rd around noon and I finally pulled into my driveway here in St. Louis around 3 am on Monday, May 5th. It was a long…

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. It’s been a while since anything worth writing about has happened. These past few months have been nothing but study study study. I had this Physics class that was way intense. The final was last friday and it destroyed me. It was crazy hard. Turns out I really didn’t do so well on it but we’ll have to see how the curve works out. Now I just have to wait ’till final grades are posted.

I am moving back to St. Louis for the summer. This past week has been nice. I haven’t had to think about physics once and it has felt good. I’ve just been organizing and packing. I…
