Things change, though not always drastically. The accumulation of small changes eventually develop into a major change though. I still work for a local Tech Support company, as I have for a little over two years. When I first started, my only computer knowledge was some basics about Linux, minor troubleshooting of Windows systems, and what Mac OS looked like. Now, …

Writing is hard.
Sometimes you can spend an entire morning staring blankly at a page, unable for force out even the most bare of syllables. Try as you might, you cannot find the will to write. Sometimes you feel like quitting, other times you do quit. Mostly though, you sit and stare. The blank page is hateful, cruel, and …
Okay! Writin’ stuff
I have a notebook in my pocket. Ostensibly this is so that if I have a sudden inspiration to write, or some random idea jumps in to my head and I must tell the world about it, I have a place to take notes. I can jot down a bit of an outline so that the thought or idea doesn’t get lost in …

I should have read it when I first received it. I’m trying to take the lessons …
I wrote this yesterday…
I’m sitting in my basement behind my drumset, My snare drum is acting as a desk, and my throne, an office chair. It’s a pretty good start I’d say, because I’m finally writing. I’ve always wanted to write, but I guess I’ve never really sat down and done it. That was a foolish mistake on my part. I know that …
So Here I am.
Happy zombie Jesus day! I’m in Golden for the Easter weekend, visiting family and generally relaxing. Right now I’m thinking about procrastinating. I’m not actively planning on procrastinating, I’m thining about the fact that I procrastinate. This is probably due in part to my desire to do things correctly the first time. My excuse is that I’m …
