...it could be worse...
My time in South Korea is coming to an end and I will be returning home shortly. It is again, another blessed homecoming becuase being away from family for six months is no joke. For my wife, this is no different then when I was sent to Iraq, minus the danger. Well, for me, this [...]
A week in the life of my recorder. Hopefully more to come.
A few years ago, my wife hardly ever used the internet or even a computer. She wasn’t afraid, but she just felt left behind and that the learning curve was beyond her. Wow! Now, she can search for news, chat, use a webcam, upload pictures, download pictures, and etc. What is next? Gaming? Blogging? She [...]
This is a video of my son walking.
Yes, shitty quality because it was recorded on a phone. My wife and I aren’t really on speaking terms much so I don’t get the good stuff. I think being away helped our relationship, but it is also damaging it. Anyway, this video was shot shortly after [...]
I just realized, I haven’t designed anything for almost 2 years now. I remember coming home from work and my computer would be on with Dreamweaver and Fireworks, and Photoshop all loaded up. I would spit out if not a website, at least a concept design. Now, I’m lucky if I even want to code [...]
The Marine Corps takes a lot of time from family. It separates you in the worse way for the worst time. I have been on many deployments and exercises and events where I was unable to see my wife and now kid. Here is a small break down of some info when it comes to [...]
I dropped out of high school and how so much I regret that, I can’t go back and change the past. What I do what to do is go back to school and get some sort of peice of paper that says I completed some sort of organized schooling. How hard is it to get [...]
Money is always the talk at the dinner table with families. Even more so now; prices of everything on the rise so much. I remember when I was a kid, my father, brother and myself would be driving to Mexico from San Antonio ( a 3 hour drive ). We would see a gas station for .99 cents. We all look at each other and think, we can do better. 98 cent would come up, nah, something lower is out there. .97 and .96 and even one time I believe we saw a small town offering a .95 cent price. The next one would cup up .97 and we’d be a bit bummed out but we kept hoping for it as our gas tank ran low. Damn! .98 cents. I knew we should have stopped at the .95 cent one!
During this Period Of Reflection we must take a look at a few things. What I am about to say are just my own opinions and not of anyone else’s or any organization.
