I haven't been paid for the last class I taught and not going to get paid until the 10th and I just ran over a baby rabbit... Can I start over from January?
Going through all of these boxes cleaning out a lot of old junk and I found my old ninjutsu gi, a bunch of old hockey tournament medals and my Nation Latin Exam medal. I don't know why my girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.
My beard is almost half a year old. I need to do some trimming soon, but I was waiting on a hair cut to do that so things looked even.
Beard story 1 (about my beard):
I was telling the girlfriend a story about a guy who complimented my beard and contemplated growing his own.
My girlfriend then says, "you incite rebellion".
Me, "You are...

I know the term that comes to mind when one thinks of Nimoy is "Live Long and Prosper", but for me it was his other contribution to the development of Vulcan fiction that stuck with me "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations". As Spock he taught us to look for the emotionless logical solution, but as a man he pushed for us to use compassion.
I am tired, so this may not be as coherent as I'd like it to be or perhaps that will work in my favor. I love my girlfriend deeply, I can't imagine my life without her. But I'm afraid that I'm not the man she needs. We have some fundamental differences on somethings, mostly religion. We can work them out when it is just the...

I've forgotten how to blog it seems. No seriously, I probably spent 10 minutes looking around for the button to start a new blog post.
I can't say exactly why I haven't written in a little over 5 months. It has been a wild five months. In that time we sold my house, put a deposit on house to build and eventually sold my mother's

When I was 14 or 15, I had been playing hockey for 7 or so years and I had switched from wooden sticks to an aluminum shaft because I kept breaking sticks. Unfortunately I'd also discovered the ability to reshape stick blades to get the shot I wanted, and I was breaking blades left and right. Because the shaping process warped the wood.
One time...

We didn't really do much yesterday, still working on the unpacking phase, but we made a dent in things so tonight's menu: Smoked dry aged prime rib roast, chipotle potato salad, grilled corn salad and baked beans... probably need something green with all those carbs eh?
Now that the house is sold, and the money is in the bank, I'm avoiding doing what I need to do - pay off my hospital bills. I know I am being petulant, but it irks me that I owe so much when they didn't do anything nor did they ever give me a legitimate reason why I collapsed in the first place. I suppose...

Everything is done, the house is sold and the money is in the bank. Not sure what the next step is other than sleeping and resting, it's been a rough whirlwind of a month, but we ended up with a good chunk of money more than we expected. I spent 8 years in that house, it's still a bit hard to say goodbye, but it...

To woo women - or so Robin Williams in Dead Poets society would have you believe. And maybe he's right. I know it hasn't been my looks that has gotten me the women I've been with.
I actually noticed the above picture on facebook while writing this blog post. You see the title blog had been "Very charmed". I do use very too often. But

"Breathe... breathe in the air..."
The appraisal came back, and it must have been good since we are moving forward with the sale. I can breathe again, but not for long. Barring anything crazy the house will be sold on 6/29. So I still have to move the rest of my furniture out of the house, along with all the crap that is in the...

Agreed. I'd like a do-over.
