APRIL FOOLS!

Ha. Now that was fun. No, I'm not leaving graduate school. Not until I have that degree in my hand. I told my real-life friend Seth that I was getting kicked out of school, and he believed me. It was a great April Fool's day. LOL.

Leaving Graduate School

I talked to my advisor today, and told her that I was planning on dropping out of graduate school. Going back over my blog, all I ever do is worry about school, and how hard it is, and how much I need to get my grades up. And for what? To service some future self? Become chained to the hell that is academia for another year of my life? I've been in school since 1991. Maybe it's time to finally say good-bye to it all? I was watching an episode of this show called Greek, and the character

Hey you, I miss you

[personal rant, I just let everything flow out of me. Not really a poem, didn't even care if it made sense. But this is mine, all of it and how I felt after dealing with a heartache.] I look into the mirror and I ask myself, "Please stop crying -- don't you know that you are absolutely beautiful?" What can you do when your good isn't good enough? Everything we've done has made a mess of things. I guess I felt it for awhile, that sudden urge to cry, but I've been detaching my

Childhood Dreams

I have some acquaintances from high school. One got an article write-up about landing a role in a professional production of Romeo and Juliet. The other one, who works tech, is apparently going to work scifi effects for a Disney movie. Another hasn't had anything big happen, but she is really working toward her goal of breaking it into the movie business in Hollywood. It just had me thinking, about when I was fifteen years old and really wanted to be an actor. I wanted to be in movies- maybe

Found out something about my tenant

I feel odd right now. I've been doing taxes for people left and right and offered to do my dad's elderly tenant taxes as well. After some simple research in property history, I discovered something about this guy. He's a convicted catholic priest with several decade of child molestation charges against altar boys. I didn't know this before I did the research and now I wish I didn't dig too deeply. I am left at a moral and ethical divide. I know he's a good man; he does volunteering for t

Springtime, at last !

Lately, the days lengthen, the sun comes early and stays late at the top of the terrace. We changed our watches to summer time and it's nice! My old muscles are rejuvenated and the urge to run and swim itches. The parks and their jogging trails are calling. I resumed my subscription to the public pool (partly covered for warm-up and an outdoor pool to enjoy the coolness of the water with the sun reflected on its surface. I am glad to get out, walk in the city, watching all these teenages

the largest and most energetic structures in the known universe

X-Ray Emissions from Perseus Cluster Solve a Dark Matter Mystery Source Link:Daily Galaxy Galaxy clusters are millions of light-years across, and most of their normal matter comes in the form of hot X-ray-emitting gas that fills the space between the galaxies. The Japanese X-Ray space satellite Suzaku explored faint X-ray emission of hot gas across two swaths of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster and made a discovery that solved a vexing mystery.

Advising for Year 2

I had my talk with my advisor with my proposed plan for the second year of grad school. Some things came clear. I won't be doing a thesis. I might work on some publications, but it's not really where I want to go. I also don't want to go into a PhD program, at least for a few years. Which pretty much means I really don't have a chance of working in the community college scene because the job market is so bad that PhD's are fighting over jobs in that field. I want to work in a museum,

- Please don't forget me.

- I've been giving up on people too easily. If they don't call, if they don't try - then I don't. It's not fair to lay the blame on them when I'm not calling, either. I'm just as much at fault. I've got a lot of resentment for old friends - for letting me go without a fight. ... I just want someone to call and say, "I miss you, how are you?" I just want to call someone and say "I miss you, I'm sorry." I want to be brave enough to stay in one place, but it's hard, and

Baby Momma Drama Update

So today started out like crap, seemed to get better then ended like a ginormous turd. First I got written up at work - first time in 20 years - guess I shouldn't be too upset. While yelling at my supervisor in court with the judge on the bench is wrong and I guess I deserved to be written up for it, her being completely incompetent and screwing up my case - I ended up losing btw - seemed perfectly reasonable to me. The big boss did some checking - thankfully she IS competent [she didn't

Operation Hammerhead- a preview

Task Force Hammerhead 1st Carrier Division Fleet Carrier Saratoga Two Weeks out of Epsilon Indi The stress of two weeks navigating the great fleet through the galactic halo was taking its toll on Danny. They had managed to make great time. They had made a little over forty-five thousand light years in a series of long jumps and had managed to do it without losing a single ship. Even Admiral Bassett was impressed and had sent his compliments to the whole navigation staff. Behind

Wondering about writing

Sunday has come and about to be gone, it's a nice enough day. I have no complaints about where things stand; although, my aspirations have not been fulfilled. I guess there really isn't much to talk or write about except in my stories. Exodus is finally getting more traction as I will probably be ready with the next half week after April 18th. The short Genesis series should hold any loyal fans over for the time being. I am also starting to think about my older stories. I kind of surpri

Socrates' Gad Fly

< LULZ In any community of like minded people, there is a serious problem: they are LIKE-MINDED. Discussions invariably reach the same conclusions, the facts are all agreed upon and rarely challenged. The danger involved is that such a once dynamic community faces a serious danger of becoming static. Anyone who has a dissenting view is an idiot. Dissent itself is discouraged and shunned. The truth becomes lost somewhere in the sickly sweet goo of good intentions called politic
