Well, it's been a little while since I've put anything in here so here's a little something.
something
Yeah, that was it.
Ok, so I need to think of more...
Only 3 days until election day so everyone had better go and vote...and vote for the right candidates!! Don't let the negative advertising taint your mind and cause you to act on false information. Check out the real facts at http://factcheck.org/ and NPR's campaign coverage at http://www.npr.org/politics/issues2004/contesting/.
Ok, back to packing.

Christopher Reeve (1952-2004)
"People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under."

Beginning Anew
Time goes by way to quickly for my liking.
Tomorrow is Sunday, September 19th and for those of you who never attended OSU or aren't in Columbus, that means it is the official campus residence hall move in day. Basically, students have to go to the Schottenstein center, get their keys and sign in and can go move in to their dorms. It's scheduled from 8am - 5pm but I get to be there from 6:30am - 6:00pm because our office is set up there all day for students who find out that they are unpaid or some other financial aid didn't pay yet...which, if you wait until the day of move-in (10 months after you've applied and 5 months after your financial aid is created) and have the nerve to complain to us because you didn't do something during those 5 months, don't look for too much sympathy. But, thankfully, those are the minority and most of the people that come to our office are nice, gracious and at least thatnkful if we tell them how to correct what they may have done wrong this year. But, it can still be a damned stressful, pain in the ass time because of the huge increase in office traffic once all the students come back to school. With 30,000+ financial aid recipients it still pisses me off when one parent or student has the audacity to bitch and complain that they have to try for days to get a call through to us or they have to wait 30 minutes - 1 hour in our lounge before seeing someone. Someone who is going to help you figure out a solution to your problem, no less...frickin' ungrateful... ...after 5 1/2 years of hearing it, it does tend to get on ones nerves a bit.
But, it's not all bad. I mean, after a couple weeks once classes start it begins to die down some and stress levels fall.
Plus, I'm very happy about it because it means one of my favorite people and best friends is coming back to Columbus too. ^_^
So, that far outweighs any of the negative things that I can think of.
Definitely.
Court.

I wish I had occasions to use my video camera more often. I've been playing more with some software for designing professional dvds with full motion menus and buttons and various highlight effects and stuff and it's all fun and nice but I've really only used my video camera like twice in the past2-3 years so I don't have anything recent that I really want to put on dvd. Plus, it's more fun to actually present someone else with a product instead of just making them for me, but alas, no opportunities to do anything for anyone. Although, if I had tv capture card for my pc I could record OSU football games in high-def and create dvds of those with all kinds of extra features and stuff...not for public broadcast or sale, of course, but just for me and friends. :) I may have to do that. At least it will give me a project to occupy my time.
If you know me and have any ideas or requests, let me know. :)
Now, off to spend time with my sofa and Family Guy dvds and let my pc continue dowloading POA. ;D

"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."
