Has Cat, Can E-Bay?

I'm gonna write a book. I'm gonna call it "Has Cat, Can E-Bay" It's going to be about something awesome.

Also, we're going to write a text-based RPG about Stephen Colbert. THIS WILL BE FUCKING AMAZING. Something about summoning eagles and fighting bears. Also, you should be able to smoke and drink while driving (this was in an ep somewhere).

Great. So. We'll get on that then.

I’m Collegiate Or Something!

I passed Math114! Third time IS the charm, apparently. Waiting to hear back officially from my prof/grades posted, but the gradebook shows everything complete, with an A. About fucking time.

Overall Score : You have earned 87.9 out of 95 for an overall score of 92.5%
Total Time Spent (all times rounded to the nearest minute): 35h 24m

Just gotta get back in touch with my adviser to find out about testing out of 6 classes, and take 6 more of these things. Then I'll be graduated. Or whatever the past tense adjective of graduate is.

Faith

(This was originally an unpublished draft)

So, I don't usually go all uppity on issues of religion and faith, unless I'm pissed, out of smokes, or pissed. You all know me, I'm the kind of person that scoffs at 'leaps of faith' and 'life-changing moments'. However, I think I may have had one. What does that make me? A hypocrite; but I digress...

So, I've never felt more strongly about my faith and my life than I do now. Maybe I'm just a crazy old bastard, but working around kids ALL the time hasn't made me hate them. Just the opposite, I find myself wondering what it would be like to settle down and have a family. All the work I've done with the Knights has really helped me understand what it's like to be a part of something and be able to help out people that need it.

I've actually started praying too. I've never really prayed, except mumbling along at church, in my life. And its not like, oh I'm praying because I should, or because it's what I'm supposed to do, but because I want to. It's weird. And I'm serious about the family thing. Any wimmins out there, you know. Jump on this. ;)


OH YEAH! IM SANTA CLAUS! Pictures will follow.

New Webhost

Alright, So I finally broke down and went with decent internet hosting. At least now you can view my rantings at high speed with 99.9% availability! Took me a bit to get it all configured, but almost no one (myself excepted) saw any downtime. Indubitably, I rock.

So, a big thanks to Chris (xtantmatrix) over at Critical Audio and Design CHECK THEM OUT!

Augh Internet~!

Man, do I need a decent internet connection. This shit at my parents' house is killing me. Took me all night, and some of my morning, to download the Visual Studio Express 2008 DVD. And that doesn't even include the MSDN files (2GB) or XNA/GDevTK (2GB). So. Yeah. Someone get me a 15000/2000 connection for Christmas, or else!

Oh well, at least we're to this point. Guess I'll go play WoW while this starts.
