An interesting take on Obama/Biden
In preparing for the upcoming changes to my blog (more on that later) I found this article on Pajamas Media about how Obama/Biden is bad for dads. I found it an interesting read. I will say that his premise is an interesting one, for sure. Obama’s castigation of African-American fathers, blaming them alone for the [...]
I guess I look like I fit in…
My second day on campus and I was barely out of my van when I was approached to help find a couple of buildings by two separate people. One was easy to help. She was carrying a map (but was having a hard time deciphering it, I guess) and I pointed her across the street [...]
An interesting year
I’ve only had 2 of my 4 classes so far (the other 2 come tomorrow) but I can tell it’s going to be an interesting year. . My first class today could be interesting if the prof is able to entertain us, lol. It’s European Integration…basically it’s all about the E.U. He admitted the book [...]
It’s here
The first day of my re-entry to college is upon me and I have to admit that I’m scared to death! Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m uber excited. But being out-of-the-loop for 7 years and jumping back in is scary…at least for me. Maybe I won’t feel as out of place once I get [...]
A contemplation on life and life after death
It has now been two weeks since I left to go back home for my grandmother’s funeral. I did very well with it, considering she’s the last of my grandparents to pass on. Admittedly, I don’t think I’ve really come to terms with it yet. I think I did a pretty good job of holding [...]
I have been busy
I have had a busy 2 weeks and it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. A week and a half ago, my grandmother passed away and I had to make my second trip to Indiana in a month for her viewing and funeral. It was a tough time for the family, especially [...]
But, mom! Everyone’s doing it!
I went on a quest to apply for more jobs today. Apparently it’s hard to find a job with the hours I want. Oh, well. Anyway, The recurrent theme was “We do it online now.” Borders, Michaels, A.C. Moore, Panera Bread…all do their applications online. The only ones who don’t that I applied to are [...]
I love twitter!
If not for twitter (and dh, of course), I wouldn’t have seen dh post the link to qik, where the live GOP press conference is going on. The house GOP totally rocks! After all, all they want is an up or down vote on gas prices. What’s so hard about that? The dems always say [...]
The countdown begins
As of today, it is T-24 days until my first day of classes. I am both incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous before. Or at least not in a long time. And I can’t really say it’s a bad kind of nervous. More of an excited nervous. Does that [...]
