• When you’re weary
  Hi. I’m not dead. Far from it. I am very much alive and dealing with my bipolar issues. Let’s see: what is the news?

  First of all, I don’t get on Xanga or AIM because I’m pulling the 12 and 14 hour workdays. Suffice it to say that I don’t have much cognitive reverie for much after work. For example: I bought 2 gigs of memory for the b0x3n and attempted to install it after I had paid for the more expensive FedEx shipping from New Egg. Apparently, I didn’t seat one of the memory modules correctly and hence shorted it out. Since it’s a matched pair, I’ve got to send them both back. Will do so on Monday.

  Am currently in the process of buying a house. Kinda. A real estate agent came through drive through in Hampton Cove and I off-handedly mentioned I’d like to live there someday. She told me that she had something in the area for $145K..turns out the list was $165K. Went and looked at it. Loved it. Called her back a few days later and asked her to ask the owner to take $150K. He did. So all I need do now is get the financing…which won’t happen, but then again, they might find a whopper of a program for me. We’ll see. Reggie wants to move from here anyway, so he said he’d move and make half of the payment each month. Hopefully, I’ll get a call from the finance office Monday morning and they won’t have anything. Then I’ll get the earnest money back. Otherwise, I’ve bought a house in Hampton Cove and no one can take it from me, even if it means going into the Air Force to hold on to it.

  In other news, if the house doesn’t go through, I’m gonna save the money and buy a Reno. Still debating on where to go for my B-day. Want to go to Florida, but that only works if Reggie wants to go or if I have a girl to take. Girls: apply inside. Otherwise, I think I might head up to MO and see Eric, Astro and stuf123.

  And I think I’ve finally made a decision about school: I think I’ll go back to UAH in the fall after my B-day trip and plug away at the CS degree. If something comes of film/videography between now and then fine. For some reason, I just don’t want to do the research on film schools right now. I don’t want to move from AL. It’s expensive, and I know that Dad won’t give me a thin dime’s worth of help. So my thought is to get a degree and go from there. Ideally, I’d have my masters, but I don’t’ want to waste too much time before seriously getting into film. I think I’ll let my friends break the ice for me “out there” and then invite me out so I can wow ‘em all. The way I see it, CS is just something to do for now. I will always love computers, don’t get me wrong. But I’m not a serious scientist. I can only do the books for so long before I drive myself crazy. Hence film. It would be just peachy keen with me to get a call, do a film and come back to plug away at the degree for a year or so, get another call…ad infinum.

  Elisabeth got back from NZ. I would hope that she would come up and I could take her to dinner and get her to tell me about it, but something tells me that my family won’t come up to Huntsvegas even if I had died and God Himself mandated the funeral to be here.

  I love my family!!!!!

  P.S. Look what Frank made for me
