The final 4 moments in the countdown to my birthday, which is today. It's been pretty neat, looking back at these moments that I've listed over the last 2 weeks or so. #37: High School Graduation I graduated from Ballard in 1996. I was so excited about it that I made myself nervous... but I … Continue reading 40 ’til 40: #37 – #40
3:50 AM I was looking through some old messages between some good friends and I on Facebook. I realized just how little we had talked to each other, or hung out, over the last few years. Unfortunately, it's been that way with about 95% of my friends, since probably 2013 or 2014. There are 3 … Continue reading “Night Walk”: “Hermit”
* There are a few instances in my life that will always be preceded with the "Best Moment" tag; including: 'HS Graduation (1996)', 'Leaving for College: Purdue University (1997)', 'First Day At the University of Louisville (2000)', 'Drum Corps Associates (DCA) World Championships with the Derby City Knights (2007, 2009)', 'Going Home from Major Heart Surgery (2010)', … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Break!’
In the summer of 2014, I set a couple of goals for my return to college at Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC): - aim for a 4.00 GPA each semester - if a 4.00 is missed, make sure to be no lower than a 3.50 (earning me a spot on the Dean's List), both per … Continue reading The Wrap Up: JCTC
(thank you for not screwing with me too much this past Friday!) - The long-running issue with unemployment money, and the subsequent appeal mentioned here, finally ended last week. The judge reversed the state's decision and awarded me 5 of the 8 weeks that I had requested unemployment, which I received on the 31st of March. … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”/”Short Circuits”: ‘Don’t Fool Me, April!’
Well, I'm one week removed from Spring Break. Of the many things I'd hoped to get done on break, the only thing that panned out was the Unemployment appeal - it actually happened on the 22nd, the Tuesday after Break. I now have to wait for some kind of ruling on it. The 3 likely outcomes … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Back To Reality’
Surviving the monetary and life sucker punches from January and February... barely: I may need to rethink the design, layout, title (just so there's no unintended copyright infringement with the Public Enemy track this title is based off of), and overall content of "Welcome to the Terrordome". I'd like to keep the personal updates in here; outside of … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome”: ‘Survive And Adapt!’
I hope that the live version of "The Wiz" re-airs on NBC soon. I missed it but have heard great things about it. You can stop finding new and stupid ways to lose football games, Cleveland.... .... but YOU can keep finding new and stupidly great ways to win games, Green Bay! UofL men's basketball is going to be scary … Continue reading Inside The Terrordome: “B+ Player”
- Kentucky Congressman John Yarmuth is going after 'big money' money in politics, with his most recent proposal, according to WDRB.com. Considering that the most expensive political race of 2014 was also from Kentucky - Mitch McConnell vs. Allison Lundergan-Grimes - I don't know if he will get much support for that proposal from his KY … Continue reading Quarter Notes
Quite a few of these posts come on nights when the brain simply refuses to quiet down. Luckily, I don't work on Wednesday and my first class is in the mid afternoon. 😉 Speaking of school, Wednesday is the last day for me before Finals. After that, I have one class this summer before I … Continue reading A Long Road Towards Graduation
