  • After the goldrush…

    Here we are… The day after Xmas, and I’m glad that it’s over. It’s cost more money than I ever thought I would spend. I’ve just had enough of it. I have decided to fix my truck. At least I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ll do. I have to drop the thing off at the shop and it’s a whole day of waiting. I guess I’ll sit home and either work on my story or playstation or something. Such a deal?! I’m still getting over this cold. But I feel alright for the most part, just a bit stuffy. I’m going out tonight to a Mystery Dinner show, and have to get ticket at the Navy Exchange. Plus I do have some returns to make. So it will be a day all and all.sI have lots and lots to do it seems. I want to rebuild my harddrive. and I noticed that at .mac, they pulled many of the “Free” software from the account, so if you have it, you should archive it, or it may not be there for you later. I think I have disk images that they provided to make it easy to reinstall that stuff.sI’m working on a story and found that the best piece of software to write with is MacJournal. I bet most people wouldn’t think of using something quite like this. But it lets you make separate entries, like chapters instead of daily entries. And I can have different journals with separate entries to keep track of the different characters. Then you can export the journal to XML or whatever you want. And I can collaborate by placing the journal on my .Mac account, so I think that this is going to work great.sWell, I’m going to get onward to my day. Lots of stores and things to do and see… s-SJ

    It’s cold and I have to wear a jacket…ssailorj in AlaskaThis was a cool place during a trip I took to Alaska. But it is getting cold even in Florida. I’m going to have to find more time to write in my journal. But more importantly I need to find more time to write period! Of course I have a new job that entails a large amount of writing. But it isn’t very creative. I am looking to make some LJ friends. It can be tough if you’re not a regular contributor. I think that I will be able to find a bit more time now. Things are starting to settle down where I can get these thoughts down on. I’ll have to expand my interests section though. Feedback is a good thing.sIf you’re like me, you probably have been plagued by the cold. It is sucking, and I’m trying to use that Zyxcam (sp?) to knock it down just a bit, along with some vitamin C. we’ll see how it goes. sRight now I’m at the crossroads of a big decision. To buy a new truck or not. I have a 2001 Sport trac, and I’m thinkin of trading it in on a 2003. 5 more years of payments 😛 Blah! or spend $1000 to repair what I have. I’ll have to see what kind of deal I can get from the dealer. I have a feeling that fixing what I have is the best thing. Even though it kills me to sock that much cash into the darn thing, I know it probably is the best thing. Especially since I have the time off to do it as well. but what a way to spend my off time. I guess I just need to suck it up. But heck! That’s a new laptop or something else that would be cool…sOh well… What to do… anyone with advice?sSport Trac 2001

  • Well, this is interesting…

    Alrighty… I’m not female, but the quiz was cool to take. Why do I post these things?sgodd
    You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator.s“And The Goddess planted the acorn of life.
    he cried a single tear and shed a single drop
    of blood upon the earth where she buried it.
    From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into
    the world.”
    Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek),
    Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian).sThe Goddess is associated with the concept of
    creation, the number 1, and the element of
    earth.sHer sign is the dawn sun.sAs a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic
    individual and people are drawn to you.
    Although sometimes you may seem emotionally
    distant, you are deeply in tune with other
    people’s feelings and have tremendous empathy.
    ometimes you have a tendency to neglect your
    own self. Goddesses are the best friends to
    have because they’re always willing to help.s

  • Guilty until screened Innocent

    Traveling by air throughout the US has created a system of airport security that assumes the citizens of this nation are by their very nature, terrorists.sYou are a terrorist… until proven otherwise. This seems to be the view of the TSA or Transportation Security Agency. The citizen’s of the United States are standing idly by while our RIGHTS are being stripped without question, all in the name of Homeland Security. I can proudly say that I’m all for Homeland Security, but it’s time that the pendulum swung back towards the center. Today, I was at the airport in New Mexico, (a hot bed of terrorism, NOT!), and the TSA screeners made an old woman in a wheelchair in her 80’s get out of the wheel chair and forced her to walk without the aid of her cane through the metal detectors. While I feel much better about the baggage screening process, I do believe that common sense has been checked at the door, as we continue to harass the flying public because of the errors of September 11th. The only thing that this is perpetuating is big government, big budgets, and into deeper debt as a nation. For some reason, there are people today that are willing to sacrifice liberty for security. I submit what Benjamin Franklin, one of our founding fathers had to say on the subject, “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security” This is unfortunately what we have done.
