Inside The Mind Of A Writer

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going good in you're worlds. This morning I am sitting here drinking my first cup of coffee and must be getting old because I was up until oneish that is until my brain finally quit working and let me sleep prior to that skyped with my girl which was nice to relax and just talk to her after another long day of working on math; but i am thinking wow I am tired should have hit the hay earlier. Wow I didn't think i'd ever be saying that...ever ever you are talking to the night owl of night owls. Or at least maybe once upon a time I was the night owl now its just I stay up reading and most mornings I am like okay I got this so i don't even think about it (thinking the second might be the case). Oh and this morning before I get going I thought of a random little coffee jingle/poem/i don't even know but here you go I am thinking most people can appreciate this:  ‎"Coffee...Coffee...Coffee. There is nothing quite like you n

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all's going good in you're world's. So I had my first day of work on Monday that wasn't just training that is. Overall it wasn't so bad and actually and really looking forward to Gourdman's opening to the public. Monday was unpacking a lot of different things, learning to tag items and also learning essentially where stuff goes. No doubt there will be quite a bit more of that today but it helps because I have some pretty awesome managers who really seem to care about the employee now of course they also want you to crank it out there and get on top of things understandably. Nevertheless I am looking forward to going to work and not just because of a paycheck either but because i like the place I work at and the people who I work with. I got up early on Monday and worked away on math and than it was off to work at noon just like I am also working a noon shift today and after work its onto my night math class at Boise State. So far

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all's going well in you're world's. I can't believe it this is the 100th blog! I really tried to think about what I could do to amp things up some. Maybe hire some dancing girls to do a live video, do a live blog from the top of the empire state building, or lastly do a thousand frog hops along the golden gate bridge. But let's face it the first one would require a lot of money and also decided my girlfriend as awesome as she is probably wouldn't be two cool with that so I nixed it. Secondly even getting to the top of the empire state building in the first place would be neigh if not impossible and i'd probably land myself in jail. Lastly a thousand frog hops as epic as it may well be along the golden gate bridge I think also might make me a hopper for life and that does not sound like fun at all. I know not everyone comments on what I do write but I want to take a moment and thank you for reading it because yes I notice the

Readers: Hey everyone I hope everyone is doing great in you're world's. I am just sitting here relaxing had a wonderful evening going out to eat with my girlfriend Jolene, her dad, and two people that came for the conference for the company she works for that handles the different apartment complexes (company name slips my mind right now) we settled on Busters downtown Boise. Great food and good conversation after that we went back to the hotel and hung out and Jolene and I stayed up and chatted probably till about 1:30 outside with our feet dangled in the hot tub and than crashed. Morning came fairly earlyish but once I got my coffee I was good to go. Got things packed up and ready to go than grabbed some breakfast from the pretty good continental breakfast at the Marriott while her dad grabbed a desk and different things. After what feels like a nonstop never-ending study binge for the last few days even getting up at 5:10 yesterday morning to try to soak up as much math

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. Checked my facebook page earlier and got a post from my best friend Jared Lewis who first got me into Queensryche years ago saying that Geoff Tate broke up with the band Queensryche and they are no more. Now apparently the rest of the band has recruited another singer but that won't be the same though without Geoff Tate. Apparently I do not have my photographs on here from my photo album it must be on the older laptop so i will have to grab those off of there. This is going to be a shorter blog here or a tribute of sorts but nevertheless they are the best band and i've seen them a total of eight different times and even had the pleasure of meeting Scott Rockenfield and Geoff Tate whom were both incredibly nice. Being a major fan over the years and seeing them that many times i feel like i have grown to accept them as part of a my repritore just bummed i did not get a chance to see them a year or s

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. No, doubt those of you are wondering whether that proverbial piano fell and crushed me into a million little pieces of nothing and considering I am still writing this and the title indicates it wasn't meant for me it seems well clearly it wasn't meant for me. To a degree I think its natural to worry about meeting a girlfriend's father; because they are the ones that will decide you're fate as their boyfriend. Okay yes you can go the route of oh it doesn't matter whether the parents like you are not but in reality the truth is it is much better to have an incredible relationship with the parents because it goes a long way. No fights occur and no one gets cut out of any will excreta. Of course this isn't about a will it was about whether her father liked me or not simple as that and was I solid enough material for his daughter Jolene. Since last night I haven't spoken to Jolene b

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're worlds. On my end the weekend came rapidly to a close; far too rapidly for my taste. The title of this describes my feeling of the pressure of succeeding on this coming test on Thursday in Calculus. I feel like I am standing underneath that piano and like in one of those dreams where you're legs are jello I can't move to save my life and hell I can hear the ropes snapping above me its going to splatter me across the pavement any moment now! The other aspect that describes why I feel just this way is because today is the day when I meet Jolene's dad as just not some guy who offered to take their photographs more than eight months ago at the Judy Collin's concert before it started right in front of the stage and shot from the hip before offering with, "Don't worry I won't cut you're heads off when I take the photo" Just got a word from my girlfriend earlier apparently they are

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're worlds. On my end I am on the edge of a sort of cusp; almost to a big event; this being my first exam in my summer Calculus class come this Thursday. To say I am not nervous i'd be lying this class feels generally like I am left to teaching myself because my professor doesn't really do all that through of a job even going over the material. I tried asking her to slow down and thoroughly explain things but she said, "I have to get through this stuff fast don't have time to truly slow down"     as far as the good and the bad of this as of yet? I am not exactly sure but I do know one thing it is Calculus and it owned me last time but hopefully with me not taking Stats as well this won't be so bad in the end. This evening I have been working my tail off on math and also regretting more or less taking the day off yesterday from doing any sort of school work because unfourtantly the assignments don

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all is going great in you're world's. On my end life is moving along at a fast pace right now  its back to school for another week of calculus. This next week is my first exam in the class which is crazy this class has literally rushed by like that. No assignments have been collected yet she will collect them randomly and we are just delving into Logs and into Limits which I really struggled with before and this time is really no different than before. There is just something about Logs and Limits that don't come incredibly easy to me in the long run I think i'll get it; it will just require me working a bunch of problems. Since I wrote the previous blog I watched the whole AMC series Hell On Wheels and it was incredible clear to the final episode for the first season of the show. I'd highly recommend if you decided against giving it a go the first time or maybe you haven't even heard of it check it out. With school keeping me bu

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. On my end today was the last day of classes so next Monday I will have one week behind me of summer school and than seven more weeks left to go of this madness; good old Math 160 (evil subject) and yes I am cranking it out though realizing that it is still not any easier than it was taking it the first time around. In fact I dare say Calculus was probably invented by Satan who like a small boy with a damn little hand held bug zapper obliterates them with the sunlight giggling manically; that is the only true explanation i have decided for why the fuck someone who is getting a business degree needs to take calculus in the first place. Tonight/tomorrow my girlfriend is popping into town again which I am excited to see her it will be really great to spend time with her and hold her. Long distance being five hours away from one another and with me being busy with my summer school college class and it being ma

Readers: Hey everyone I hope all's going great in you're world's. On my end I am full of wonder and doubt which I know isn't exactly the grounds for a job well done but there you go? I am on the cusp right now of starting Math 160 and taking it during the summer. During the regular semester it annihilated me entirely. Feels like I am so close to graduating yet so far away from it all. Right now if anything felt so unobtainable it is truly now more than ever. My mind is plagued with thoughts of failing, thoughts of not graduating, thoughts of not getting a great job, thoughts of the end of a relationship in the blink of an eye. Success in school, success in a job, solid money coming in all of these different things I know will enable me to live life to its fullest. Fullest being the ability to go out there and enjoy vacations, keep this relationship going solidly with Jolene and really be happy mentally knowing that I succeeded with school. My brothers are married an
