Easter Visit

Grandma came by on Easter for an hour or so to have a visit and we took this picture as she was leaving. I thought it was quite nice. The kids are hilarious.

LAN Spiders

I like quirky things. Here’s something I thought would be funny.

LAN Spiders are made from the ends of Cat 5 cables.

Outlet for Creativity

For the past couple of days I have had the need to be creative. However, I can not find a suitable form or medium. I can’t read or write music, I don’t have a video camera, I don’t have the paints or room for painting (but that might be fun), I have weak Photoshop skills when it comes to drawing from scratch, my digital camera isn’t very good, so out goes photography, though I really like it. I have never had the great ability to visualize a new painting or create a beautiful work of art in my mind then put it down on paper or in whatever medium. I’m not too terribly good at writing, and I don’t like long form writing. As you can see above, my skills with grammar and vocabulary are not to be desired. I just don’t know what I want to do. With this semester winding up, I will have a little more time for myself and I would like to start a new hobby other than TV, movies, and podcasts. I enjoy web design, but is that an artform? I would say so. It involves a multitude of skills. Coding, graphic design, writing, and more. I’m going to have to find a project I can work on with this, because I really enjoy it. I think I’m going to get myself a small painting kit, too! Maybe this will satisfy my inner craving to create.

Is this Sadistic?

I don’t think this week could have gone much worse. Well, ok it could have.

All Week: The weather is unseasonably sweltering. It is so hot and humid!

Monday: I had to turn in two projects for different classes. I found out how bad I did on my exams. I thought I would do pretty well, but I’m in the mid-80s range. Not good for me. I also found out that I had an exam this week, that I had forgotten about.

Tuesday: I had PSYC 107 class. That’s bad enough to ruin anyone’s day. The power then proceeded to go out with an explosion at a sub-station near College Station. The power was out for up to 5 hours. Several people got stuck in elevators on campus. That might be fun if you were stuck with someone to talk to.

Wednesday: I wasn’t able to get into a study that I need for psychology class. On the way home my air conditioner in my car decided that the switch would break. Now, I can’t switch it off of defrost. The cold air still comes in, but in window and not the front vents. I don’t have the money to fix this right now!!

Thursday: I had an exam in Management 211 (my business law class) which turned out to be not so horrible; we’ll have to see how the grades describe the difficulty. Fortunately, I’m having dinner tonight with two friends from calculus class later year. Hopefully everything will work out right.

I have a question that somewhat bothers me, but not really. Is it sadistic for me to enjoy stepping on acorns and cracking and smashing them into the ground. I also like the sound it makes.

In the Mood

I’m in the mood to write, but about what? I’m not sure, but here goes.

……………………..

Well, nothing’s coming to mind. I’m pretty bored right now. There’s not much going on. I’m not in the mood to read my school work, I don’t have any homework due, and I’m stuck on dial-up so I’m limited to what I can do on the internet. Woe is me.

Ha! I just found a video from YouTube of a Furby (the little demons from toy Hell) getting fried in the microwave!!! It’s is awesome! You have to see it! I feel a little bit better now. Have a good one.

The Current Situation

Everything right now is surreal. I’m slightly sick with a sinus infection, so that is distorting my perception of reality. I get tired more frequently, I’m really hungry when it’s time to eat yet I can’t eat as much as I used to, and I ache somewhat. My mood for the past couple of weeks has been off too. I just don’t want to do anything, not even the stuff that I really enjoy in a normal situation.

I just found a video blogger on YouTube that I’m really liking his stuff. He’s 79, I think.. (don’t quote me). His username is geriatric1927. You might want to go watch his videos. I like hearing the personal storys of people older than I am. I like to hear what life was like when they were younger. I find it all very interesting. Maybe you would too. I hope I can be helpful to someone when I’m older and have more experience.

I’ve got a consistent visitor whom I’d like to know. They are using Microsoft Windows 2000 and Internet Explorer 5.5. You came to my site on the 17th and 18th of June. You usually go to my home page from my facebook profile. Your screen size is 800 by 600 pixels and 16 bits is the color depth. You use SBC Internet services and yesterday you listened to my audio blog. You are located somewhere near Deer Park, TX (that’s a suburb of Houston). I’d really like to know who you are. If you think you are this person, please send me an email at daniel @ pnebleu.com . I’m not trying to scare you with this information, but I get this info from a page counter that tells me how many people visit. Please email me if you feel this is you. Thanks.
