2010-01-27: Workout
Jan 28th
Exercise today didn’t go exactly as planned. I’m balking at the sprinting and I’m not exactly quite sure how to motivate myself. I had originally thought that game time should be considered, however, my gaming has been virtually eliminated and replaced by my tinkering with C++ coding. How exactly do I “moderate” this when it’s [...]
Windows 7
Jan 15th
So, I've made the plunge to Windows 7 Pro. Install of the operating system was, in fact, painless. It seems like yesterday I was dinking around with Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and coping with the headache that was the config.sys and autoexec.bat files that were necessary to load the correct drivers for the CD-Rom drive, [...]
The Start of a New Year
Jan 5th
It’s already day 5 of 2010. This weekend sort of blew past me and Monday continued to be intense with my continued conditioning, tae bo, and my weekly geeky ritual. So what’s now Tuesday has been spent vibrating at the speed of life … fueled by caffeine. About two weeks ago I stopped drinking soda and [...]
Week 52 of 2009
Dec 28th
So this is it. The last week of 2009. This year marked some key milestones in my life. January, I finally decided to bite the bullet and started my schooling again. This time I’m I decided to chase my dream of becoming a game programmer. February my life turned upside down – in a good [...]
Resolutions and Aspirations
Dec 28th
I’ve resolved myself to trying to write here at least once a week. I need to reprogram myself into writing more about my triumphs rather than my misgivings and uncertainties. Seems pretty cheesy to me, but there has to be some merit to it if so many different programs subscribe to a variation of the [...]
Christmas Eve 2009
Dec 24th
The spirit of celebration has not touched our household this Christmas Eve. This house is silent, more silent than the year we lost mother. This year, we worry about keeping ourselves afloat. I’m waiting to ship off – even looking forward to it since it means that some money can start coming in … some [...]
Laziness
Dec 24th
Yesterday was one of my more lazier days. I spent most of it in front of my computer. Which isn’t a big change in my habits – but with school out and my Future Soldier online training complete I decided to play Warcraft. I’ve a Shaman that I’ve been leveling, a toon that [...]
Pagaduan Christmas Party
Dec 20th
I woke up at a quarter to ten this morning. Today the family and I were to meet up at my Aunt Julie’s house for the Pagaduan’s Christmas celebration. Like my father, I really wasn’t looking forward to it. Not that I didn’t want to spend time with the family … more [...]
Crazy Name Analysis

You Are Carefree and Passionate
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of [...]
Some New Pictures
Oct 20th
Currently waiting to get medical clearance on a couple issues … that’s the only thing holding up my enlistment. At the very least, I think this will allow me to see my daughter’s first birthday. Speaking of which, I’ve finally added a gallery with some pictures of my wife and daughter from earlier [...]
