That little Sithlord is my nephew. He is quite the child. It's been awhile since this picture, but as I'm babysitting him right now, i thought I'd comment. (blog entries need current updates anyways)
As I write this, he's sitting in front of the TV, on the "Yoda chair" (a beanbag that is similar to Yoda's council chair in his mind)holding a lightsaber, watching Episode 1 and wearing a stuffed/muscled Spiderman costume. I love this kid. He's quite entertaining.

He's walking towards my room, I can hear him humming the Imperial Death March.

My post is to say one thing. I had no idea what kind of influence you can have on a small child. I mean, I didn't know that they took to your interests as much as he does. He came down to my games room, plugged in the Zelda game and started shouting "Look! The Tri-force! and Link's Sword!"

the kid is 4....i love it.

Greetings Citizens

this is the culmination of everything that i've endured in my life so far.

That may seem like a bit of a hyperbole....but in that case, call me Colonel Hyperbole

It's funny...I had the inclination to write something, not knowing what it was or who it was for. I now know that it's for my blog. I mean, it's been awhile since I've done any updating. If you attempt to log on for updates, I'm sure you can agree.

Things they are a'changin'


*le sigh*

Well to put things in perspective, I'm sore. I mean...really sore. I can't actually describe my pain to others well, that's one of the reasons I don't. The other reason is that I don't want to dump it on people who may not, and quite often don't, know how to respond. It's a bit of a weight to carry around. Those who I have shared with have told me that I'm a knob for not speaking up as much as I should. I also carry the burden of knowing that I bow out of activities with those closest to me b/c of pain more often. I think that it goes along the same tangent of thought. I know that they understand the reasons that I don't feel up to doing something. Unfortunately, that means that I end up doing things with others that I don't do with those closest to me, not wanting to add to the stress of talking about the level of pain I'm in.

I hope that didn't seem like a rant. I just need to get some of these things off my chest. I do talk to people; good friends, family and especially my girlfriend hear about what's on my mind most often. I'm not taking the escapist route here....I just need to put it out there....just 'cause i guess.

I actually have done some writing since my last update...not much, but some. I haven't posted it because I feel that it's more of a personal rant, my way of putting thoughts out on paper and working through ideas. I know that's pretty much the idea behind blogs, but I didn't think these would be appropriate postings. If I was able to come to something that at least left it open for discussion, thought, or ideally, conclusion I undoubtedly would have added it. As it was, they pretty much bashed ideas and approaches, leaving no reason in its wake.



hmmm.....scatterbrained....interesting



that's all at the moment....we'll see what comes next
