I don't have much

I've started the heated search for a job this week. Funny thing about that: it corrosponds to the beginning of Script Frenzy, and my insane amount of homework I need to do. I figure juggling all that with church and family obligations is something I really need to practice. Pray for me please.

In other news, I am a shift supervisor for the merch dept. at Anime Expo this year. I think that I can do a good job of making sure that nobody works too hard. That is my goal with this new assignment. I'll let you know how it works out.

My Sanji look is coming together rather nicely. If I can just get someone to style my hair a bit, I'll have the look down perfectly. The question is, how can I get it done for free. I have a few people I can ask. I'll keep you posted on that too.

I haven't done a mind dump here lately. The main reason is, whenever I sign in to do it, my mind goes blank about all my issues. I dunno.

I mentioned to my friend today that I've been noticing a lot of really pretty girls lately and I asked him what he thought. He told me that I was probably either really horny or really desperate. I think he hit the nail on the head. So if you can pray for that for me too, that would be good. This is not an area I like to be in.

I have an indepenent contractor type thing going now. I had a call for it today actually, but my phone was dead so I missed it. Oh well. It was for something SUPER simple anyway. Microsoft Update stuffs. So yeah. I'm hoping that that starts picking up too, because it'll give me some real world experience with working with computers. Plus it can help fund my A+ certification. And if I get that, I'll be able to provide a lot more services. YAY!

And now I must sleep. Goodnight all.

My New favorite show

I will be watching this show as much as possible. IF I don't forget about it.

no dice

So, I've been back from michigan for a week and I haven't put up the "BIG POST" about the whole thing yet. But now as I sit here, I can't think of what to write for a "BIG POST". So I sit and stare at the screen with nothing too big coming to mind that I haven't already shared. So here is the cliff notes of the whole thing as I remember:

I stay up friday night so that I don't miss my 6am flight. After four planes, I finally land in Flint, MI. It's cold and raining. woot! We don't do much that day because of timing issues and the weather so we chill a bit and have dinner. The next day, bright and early we go get the insulation and start putting it in. It's a big mess and if we didn't have the face masks, we'd have inhaled a lot of paper. That wouldn't have been good for us. We had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the blower for the insulation to work properly, but once we did, the work went a lot faster. I just wish we'd have known what to do the first day we were working on it. So then after we got that done we were done for the day. The next big project was cleaning up the big mess that the insulation caused. That was fun. IN the way that riding a bike with flat tires is fun. Then we replaced the fireplace. It looked way better when we were done. And that was one of the last projects we did while we were up there, because we had to get on the road by then so that dad could be home in time to go to work on monday. Thus, our road trip began. And now I must go. So I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the story. :D

The Cult of Done

http://www.brepettis.com/blog/2009/3/3/the-cult-of-done-manifesto.html

This is amazing. This is now my philosophy for all my projects.

Flagstaff

We pulled into Flagstaff, AZ about an hour ago. We have a pretty nice room with internet so I can do my homework. The bed looks soooo comfortable right now.

We left Murfreesboro about 35 hours ago. We were able to make pretty good time because we decided to drive through the night so we took turns napping and driving. We're both really tired now, but it was worth it to make it this far this fast.

We went through Arkansas, Oklahoma,Texas (where we stopped and saw the Cadillac Ranch), and New Mexico. Good times. Such a drastic change of scenery as we moved from state to state. So many beautiful things out in nature. Proof positive of God's ultimate artistry. Little purple flowers, big red flowers, gorgeous forest, snow covered hills, rainbows, vivid green clovers, The list can go on and on. Get out into nature and SEE it. Experience it. It's worth the gas. Trust me.

This trip has been good. We've had some really good bonding time together and I'm learning quite a bit about my dad. Sometimes it seems like a bit too much information, but it's good I think.

I've been lacking a bit in the prayer and reading department on the trip and I think that's part of the reason for my tiredness. I'm jumping back on that tonight though. I've got my bible out and my other book out and I'll be starting in on those as soon as I'm done here.

So I'll get back to y'all later. buh bye.

So We're in santa rosa

So We're in santa rosa new mexico right now. Stopped and saw the Cadillac ranch. Pics of that soon.

POST!

I'm so tired so I'm trying to be quick, but at the same time, thorogh (I can't spell good right now).

I have left michigan. We left this morning and drove for 17.5 hours. We are now in Merfreesboro, TN. Not sure I spelled the town name right, but that's okay. We crashing with some friends that my dad made while he lived here in Tennessee. They have a highspeed connection. It's sooo nice. I can appreciate my "slow" connections at home now because they are still WAY faster than dial-up. But of course, dial-up is better than "no up". That's something good to keep in mind.

I'm slightly constipated due to increased cheese consumption and decreased water intake, but I think it's fixing itself since I started drinking a lot more water today. I had to pee a lot today. I'm taking that as a good sign.

My tooth has been in moderate to severe pain over the past three days or so. I know I need to get to the dentist about it, but I think part of my issue right now is the toothpaste I'm using. I have a strog feeling that it's making the tooth more sensitive. But I've decided to just get it taken care of when I get back. It'll put me more in debt, but I think it's something that I really need to do.

I'm almos done with my book that I'm reading. I'll be passing it on to my dad when I'm done. it's really been helping me a lot in my quest to become a man. I'm thinking that I'll really be in much better shape when I'm done with it and really focusing on my development. I need to update my book list over there on the side, but I'm WAY too tired to do that tonight. It'll probably sit there out of date for a while longer yet.

And I'm really tired so I think it's time for bed. Another early morning to get on the road. So good night all.

We're in farm country. Here's a picture for you guys. Not exciting to look at i know but just keep in mind that this is where our wheat comes from and it allways looks like this. So yeah. Thats it for now. Enjoy.

It's snowing again today. Today

It's snowing again today. Today is laundry day. We'll be heading south to tennessee tomorrow. Should be an adventure.

Day...2.5

So we finished insulating the attic today. It was a much bigger project than we anticipated. So, when we were done, we took the rest of the day off and went to the Loggers Memorial. It was a pretty sweet park complete with: a huge statue, a log jam, and a food raft. Pretty awesome.

And now I'm back at my dad's friend's dial-up computer to give you all this brief little update. There's a meeting that my dad has to go to on wednesday, so we'll either be leaving late wednesday or early thursday. He wants to be in tennessee by thursday night. I'm thinking we can do it if we get up early enough on thursday.

We should be able to use the laptop in the hotel with WiFi then. I'll be more glad with my homework time then.

So yeah, I better go eat before they give it to the dog. I'll be back tomorrow. :D

This one's for you daniel. :)

Dial Up sucks

I'm in michigan now. YAY! But the only internet I have access to uses dial-up. It's taken me over ten minutes to upload one of my final projects for school. I'm really hoping that my connection to the school site doesn't time out before it finishes the upload.

how long does 1MB usually take to upload on dial-up. Anybody know?

My trip up here was rather annoying, but that's okay. I had to get on four planes. I've never been up and down so much in my life. I think I travelled more vertically than I did horizontally. I dunno. I haven't done the math. I've been too tired. Someone do the math for me.

Today has been filled with the tasks required for insulating the attic. It's been a pain in the butt. And we're not done. And we have to finish tonight. yay. It's okay though. When it's done, we'll never have to do it again. And now I'm going to leave. Maybe closing blogger will help it load faster. Maybe.

10.25 i call that extortion

So i'm in kansas city

So i'm in kansas city and i'm really hungry. But this airport doesn't have a place where i can get food. And i'm really tired.

Fun times

I need to be at the airport in twelve hours. I'm leaving for michigan and won't be back anywhere for a couple weeks. So, check here for daily posts while I'm on my trip. And since I figured out how to send pictures expect some pictures every so often too. Also, if you haven't done so already and are interested, I am now on Twitter at twitter.com/samwall84
so follow me if you like because I'll be making random observations while I'm on my trip and that's the best place to put those.

I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight because I'd probably miss my plane if I did, so I figure I'll just sleep on the plane. It should work. If it doesn't, I'll let you all know. And now I've got to get back to finishing my final projects so that I can turn them in tonight before I leave.

Sweetness

it's not the best picture, but it shows me that it's possible. Expect pictures during my trip to michigan now. :D

This is a test.

internet and such

I have two big project due this week. I don't want to do either of them, but I need to if I want to pass my classes.

The first project:
I have to make a powerpoint presentation convincing an imaginary committee to use my idea in a hypothetical situation. It's rather lame to me because there isn't any information that I can really use. I have to make up stuff. But all y ideas are down on paper now so all I have left is to actually make the presentation. I'm hoping I can do it in under five hours.

The second project:
I have to make a "survival guide" for surviving online classes and life in general. This project isn't as annoying because I'm SUPPOSED to make it my way and use my preferences and all that. So it just becomes a matter of writing down all my thoughts on the issue. And that's all I'll have to do. I don't have to go find stupid graphs or images to put in. I can just make it all text. So much easier that way.

But that's what I'll be doing this week for the most part. YAY!
