Well here I am on a stormy Friday evening writing a blog entry with my new keyboard. I was looking forward to getting out of the house tonight but with the way the weather is already thats not 100% certain. Waiting to hear from Tracy too... Called a while ago but she still wasn't back yet. Oh well...
Well it's been a slow week i guess... Got a little work done on the book again. Even though I only got 2 and a half pages in the word processor, it actualy translates into 7 novel sized pages. So my guess is it will be a somewhat lengthy book. At least in novel terms. As it is i got enough ideas right now to fill upto the first 70 pages, standard size. my guess is that will be about 200 novel pages. Wow... Going to keep at it so when the first couple of chpters or so are done i will let people look at it. that won't be for a long time yet though.
Ok well nothing else to say... Guess i should wiat long enough till enough stuf happens to actually post about before I post again. Later people.

You were never one for waiting...
Well here we are nearing the end of the first month of the new year. I guess it's not really a new year anymore is it?
Well people i guess i don't have to remind any of you that February 14 is Valentines day. For the first time in my life I can say I have plans for valentines day. Yay! Well this will be the third dinner me and Tracy have gone out to.
Well moving on I have some more notes done for my book. Hoping to get some more work done that tonite. Thinking of doing a few small edits to what i have so far inculding deletions and rearangements. Still have to settle on some of the major details of the story. After all i want it all to make sense.
Well tomorow it looks like i will be sending in my registration forms for PCDI (correspondence school). I'm looking forward to doing the electronics specialist course with them. It seems to be more hands on then courses offered by competetors and it's cheaper. Really looking forward to getting another piece of paper to hang on my bedroom wall. And maybe it will help me find a job.
Speaking of which i will be starting my job search this week. Hoping to get a job in computer sales which will lead to a technician job.
Well not much to report this time sadly. Chat with you all soon.

When we unite we're falling higher...
Well howdy there people. The last week has been a bit of a challenging time for me. A few days ago i came to the decision that i was finally going to move out on my own. But when i found out that social assistance and healt care couldn't help me out with my living expense, that kinda burst that balloon. But having the last couple of days to think about it i am really happy the way things are going now. It's just that it's been a little confusing lately and i went off half cocked the other day, not really taking everything into account. But I'm feeling much better now and more confident of where I'm going to in life. The past year has been a real learning experience and I can see that looking back over my blog entries since last march. I've really come so far in such a little amount of time and to be honest it I still have so far to go.
Well I've been thinking lately, and I've decided that i need to expand my horizons and going back to college right now is imposible because of finances and red tape. So i've been looking into correspondence schools. I was origianly think of doing the elctronics course i started before going to Lawrence College, but have decided that ICS will not meet my needs. So i did some browsing and found a place called PCDI, and low and behold they also have an electronics course. The content and ciriculum go light years beyond that of the ICS program and am pretty sure i will be enrolling in the program when the forms get mailed to me. It is very afordable. And I read over the site very carefully and they provided so much more information about thier courses and staff that I am confident this will help me in my career. When you read about thier instructors being industry leaders in thier field and can see student testimonials where other correspondence schools do not do this it makes the choice clear to me. This is the school i want to teach me. And as i keep saying I am still going for my A+ certification as well. All of this combined with my current knowledge, skill, and education should help me on my way. I'm hoping to be a PC tech of somekind by the end of the year. I know it's going to be difficult at times but I know i can get there. I just have to keep clear sight of my goals and keep at it. I know i can do it. If there's anything i've learned in the last six months it's that i can achieve anything i set my mind to. For now i need to set atainable goals to which i know i can work towards, always keeping the bigger goals in mind, and always keep moving forward. This aplies to everything in my life not just my career. As long as i can see that i am always making progress of somekind I will be happy.
Well as for the book. I'm going to do some work on it when i finish this entry. Steve gave me some good ideas tonite, which i will keep in mind. Rather than continuing the actual writing of the story, I am going to do some character sumaries to help me with story developement. Also i will make notes of some of the more recent ideas i've had for the story. I will keep you guys informed of my progress.
Well thats what things have been like lately. Talk to all soon.

Another year, another adventure
Well here we are. Welcome all to 2007. Hopefully this year will be filled with many happy moments for all. I hope that this year many of my long term goals will be met and that by the end of the year I will have the direction in my life that i have so long craved, and of course i wish the same for all of you.
Well people i guess you all know it by now but Jon D is now a daddy. Congrats to you man and kate. You guys suprised us all as much as i'm sure you suprised yourselves. It's wonderful news and I'm sure you two will do great as parents. Congrats again.
Ok well it was a great holiday season this year. It was nice to be sharing the holidays with someone for the first time. Kev, i realy enjoyed seeing you and Catherine for the hollidays. It was nice getting together with everyone as well.
Well things are going prety good for me right now. I have a lot of plans for the near future. I'm thinking of enrolling with ICS and doing an electronics correspondence course. I am still going to be working towards getting my A+ certification. I just need to sort out all the details for that stuf. Also i would like to get back into some old hobbies of mine as well as one or two new ones. Hell, I might even pick up work on the old computer game again. I realy need to set some priorities as i work towards my short term goals. As for any long term goals go i need time to figure out how current plans are going to work out. Then I'll see about things from there.
Well folks thats it for now. Talk to you all soon.
