Ugh

I must say, for a guy that once worked as a new director, I hate the news. All I hear is about the war in Iraq, muslims wanting to wear head scarves, and the tsunami. It's to the point that I despise world events altogether.

Another thing that I despise most is waiting on money. Everything seems to go on hold and I sit around wasting time in the hopes that money comes soon. I'm reminded of the song "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve, "your a slave to the money then you die". Ugh! What a horrible existence, to live life as a consumer waiting for more money so you can consume more stuff. How does one break out of that cycle?

I guess I'm sounding kinda gloomy, but I'm not really. I just don't have much to write about. This "vacation" between semesters is driving me mad. I need purpose again!!!

Oh, speaking of school I found out that I got all "A's" and "B's" last semester. I ended out with a 3.5 gpa and I made the Dean's list. If only the rest of my college experience was so positive.

Let it snow

The snow continues to fall here in the icy mountains. Today I noticed that the snow along the roads are as deep as the height of my Jeep. It is awesome!! I so thoroughly enjoy this kind of weather that it is a pleasure for me to drive around, despite the slippery ice on the roads. It's like mother nature says this is my time, and I am in control. It's great too for the affect it has on the city-slickers that bought a house in the area. I bet a whole slew of homes will go up for sale next spring.

I've been plagued with bizarre dreams of late. It's made my sleeping hours unrestful and left me disturbed the following day. For instance, I had a dream last night that Emmrick died. So, like a paranoid idiot I had to call him today to check. He is quite well, and I think flattered by my call.

Two more weeks until college starts up again. I am looking forward to it.
