I stopped using Hotmail as one of my e-mail services a long while ago although I would still check it from time to time to see how much spam and crap had piled in there. So, I go to look at it today to try and find something important and I find that MSN frickin' disabled the account, deleted all of my mail messages (but kept my contacts...woo-hoo...) and reduced my storage from 200mb to 25mb since I hadn't logged in during the past month!! F**kers!! Yet another reason for me to dislike M$ products. I have a Yahoo address that I just signed into for the first time in over 5 months that was still active and accepting messages!!!
Very disappointing...
bastards...

WTF America?!??
How in the hell can you not have Kevin frickin' Covais and Kellie Pickler in the bottom 2 of American Idol tonight?!?! They f'n suck compared to everyone who's left and you go and vote off Melissa and put Ace in the bottom 3?
This is the first season I've ever watched this show and now I'm starting to see why I never did. If it's left up to the American public to vote on who stays we'll end up with Kevin and Kellie as the last two because it seems that the only people who are voting are the same people who kept George W. Bush in office!
I just don't understand this.
All I know is that those two better be the next ones to go!
Wake up America!

Life, and all that it entails... (Part 2)
So, it wasn't my original intent for my last post to be so long and negative. I originally intended to end on a happy note but after I started typing, I just kept going and then didn't have time to do any more. So, here's part 2 of the Life, and all that it entails... post.
Life can certainly be cruel, frustrating, annoying, sad and sometimes just downright shitty, but it can also bring great happiness and joy. I'm glad to say that I'm in that upswing of happiness right now and am certainly hoping that it will continue for a long, long time to come. I have a very good friend, Julie, whom I've known for a number of years (going on seven now) and who has always been one of my favorite people and in recent months our relationship has turned into a romantic one. I spent the New Year holiday with her and her family, whom I love being around, and had a wonderful time (and ate lots of great food). So, needless to say, I am quite happy. In fact, the happiest I've been in quite a few years. It's nice having someone to look forward to seeing every day and know that no matter crappy my day at work might have been for the rest of the evening and night things will be wonderful.
So, yeah, I am quite happy with life right now.
Now I just need to get a new, higher paying job...

Life, and all that it entails...
Some people say that life is what you make it.
I kind of believe that life happens and it's up to you to make the best out of it.
It's been a long time since I've posted anything here or updated my website.
In the shortest possible explanation, life happened and I'm trying to make my way through it.
My mother just passed away unexpectedly a couple months ago of pancreatic cancer, just two years after my older brother was also unexpectedly taken.
Life happened. Now, how to make the most of it?
I can't express how much I'm going to miss my mom.
I'm not an especially religious person but I have very strong spiritual beliefs and I know that my mom and brother have gone on to a better existence but I know that I will never - can never - forget them. There's often times when a song on the radio or a movie that I'm watching will bring up feelings and memories and I can't stop crying. I love those moments.
I can't fathom how much I'll miss them on the day that I marry my wife.
I know that I'll sit with my wife and my newborn child on the day of her birth, hold them extra close and say a silent prayer through my tears of joy knowing that as badly as I wish they could be there with me holding her tiny hand that they are there with me, caressing all of us, and always will be.
As I type this through tears, I will never forget you and never stop loving you.
I miss you mom. I miss you Chris.
I will talk to you soon and await the time that I see you again.
Your son. Your brother.

Been a while...
Wow, It's been a while, eh?
A lot has happened, not least of all two major hurricanes which have created so much havoc in the southwestern U.S. and had repurcussions all over the country.
It's currently the end of the first week of classes at OSU so this has been a very busy week. So, what beter way to end it than with an evening at the Rose & Thistle. And it was quite a nice evening too. The rain held off and it was a crisp night out on the patio with good friends, food and drink.
It's actually early Saturday afternoon right now and I'm finishing this short post that I started late last night after I got home and fell asleep. The Buckeyes are beating all over Iowa 31-6 nearing the end of the 4th quarter.
Before I fell asleep last night I flipped around the television channels and saw the show Toolbelt Diva and noticed the episode title: A Small Deck Is Enlarged. Well, I thought it was funny.
Well, I have so much that I need and want to do and not enough motivation, time and definitely money so I'm going to go and contemplate what I actually can accomplish...

Vacation time and website launch!
Well, it's almost time for me to leave for my vacation and I am more than ready to go. I am really looking forward to getting away from the heat and humidity of Columbus but am even more glad to just get away from work for more than a weekend. That's worth more than anything.
I am going to have a great time. Most of it will probably just be spent walking along coastal areas, in parks and through the towns though. I don't really have too many touristy things that I want to do, just want to relax and enjoy the area and scenery. I've got my camera gear all ready so photography will be the main focus of my travels and I am looking forward to having some fresh from the ocean seafood. :)
I finally posted my website last night too, or at least what I have done as of right now. It is usable but there's still a lot that I have to do to get it to where I really want to have it. Go have a look at www.idliketogo.com if you're interested. I'll try to update the travel blog and photo gallery as I find places with internet access during the trip.
