    Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 28 - May 4)

    By wildone

    Any and all spelling and grammar mistakes are fully mine and not the fault of my editors. Maybe I should think about getting an editor for once   Today, as in this afternoon I went to the Calgary International Beer Fest. Over 200 Craft breweries with over 700 types of beers, spirits, ciders and meads 😮 Oh my. Considered the largest in Canada and one of the top 5 in the world. Somehow I had a few shots of moonshine too!  I may or nay not be a bit tipsy  If I had the foresight, I could h

Exodus- The little story that could

Well, it is difficult to write, but I enjoy it immensely.   Today marks the 6 month anniversary of me holding production of this story in order to finish my other story ideas, which have had rather anemic showing of support; except for Love and Again, which I want to thank the 5000 views for from you guys.   I'll most likely go back to Love and Again in the next few months to conclude the Alexander arc, after I do more work on Exodus.   This story is getting really big in my mind and I h

Next Week

Next week is gonna start some major changes for me. I'm going back to school to start my MCSA/A+/Network+ computer certifications which is going to be a big step for me given my past history. These certifications will let me get a decent IT job and hopefully let me pay off my debts, student loans, get a car and ultimatly move out of the house (yay!).   For those who don't know, the past three years to me have felt like an on going episode of House M.D. where I came down with a mysterious illne

A Tragedy Almost 10 Years Ago

Now, I do not remember the exact date, but it would have been 10 years ago in April of the upcoming year. I was a junior in high school, and I will never forget this. Danny was only 14. He was hunting with his 13-year-old friend. His friend's rifle jammed. Yes, it jammed. What happened next was nothing short of tragic. The rifle discharged and hit little Danny in the heart. He died at the hospital soon after. It's worth noting that I went to a very small school. Just to give people a general ide

Matthew Shepard: Rest in Peace

I'm working on the sequel to "If it Fits" in my "Chronicles of an Academic Predator" series. It's called "Bloodlines" and the first chapter will post in the next few days. The story takes place in 1998, and it was impossible to avoid Matthew Shepard and his tragic ending in October of that year, not that I wanted to. I'd heard of Matthew, I'd heard his story. It was horrible, a senseless waste. But to do the story justice, I felt I needed to draw him in, and that meant I needed to get to k

Musings From Me

I was just trying to be nice..

Right.. it was the other day.   I got up early so i could be nice to my mum for one day. Just one day wasnt going to hurt was it?   So i got up , i made her a cup of tea and got a chocolate eclair out the fridge for her ready for when she gets back from the weekly shop.       So she gets home and i give her a hug ( i was feeling good ) and a peck on the cheek and she seems quite happy. She walks into the room and sees the tea and smiles lightly.. i offered to bring the shopping in. Good

Environmental Douschebag Alert

Today a judge fined a local environmental activist $500 for dumping.   July 28, Jeremy C. of Brandon, MS was confronted by a Rankin county sheriff's deputy dumping trash in a rural area that local residents had been complaining about for months. Items dumped were old pesticide, car batteries, old paint cans, mattresses and furniture.   What made it even better was that Mr. C. was driving his Chevy Taiho with tons of edgy "Green" stickers like save the whales, Greenpeace and Green Day.   Mr

Creigh Deeds Loses My Vote

So I was a little conflicted about who I wanted to vote for in the upcoming gubernatorial election here in Virginia, but the Creigh Deeds campaign made my decision for me. Who's Jennifer?   Apparently, the Democrat party, struggling under the inept leadership of Tim Kaine, has become desperate. One of Creigh Deeds's staffers called the campaign headquarters of his opponent, Bob McDonnell posing as a reporter. Unfortunately for that staffer, she happened to place that call from Deeds's capaign

The Construction Factor

The broke ass state of California has been working on the Freeway next to my job for the last two months give or take. (Damn time flies when one is having innumerable amounts of fun). Freeway construction in, and of, itself isn't really that intriguing. The guys who are doing the job however, are. Well one guy in particular. He's tall, tan from ethnicity, as well as all the time spent in the sun. Has a killer smile that he gives freely to anyone who says hello or gives a friendly nod. Plus he ju

911: the truth is out there

This film featuring Mulla Omar and Bin Laden was captured in Afghanistan in late 2001. Bin Laden likes to tape his "high level" meetings.  as reported by Fox and CBS.  NBC reports suicide attack plot a year in advance.   The story is so fantastic that many people dismissed it thinking that Islamists were incapable of launching anything of that scale or sophistication. A suicide attack with an airliner was a key part of the plot of a popular novel by Tom Clancy and many people dismissed i

So I Just Found Out An Aquaintance of Mine Died

It's weird. He apparently died about three weeks ago.   I wasn't that close to him- he was my lab partner sophomore year, and we hung out a few times, but when I spent a year away from UD and saw him again last semester, it wasn't some tight bond, you know?   Still, this is the first time I've directly known a contemporary who has died, and it's weird. I mean, the dude was only 21. My friend Alex was much closer to him, and I'll definitely keep a look out for her and try talking to her

3,700 Freshmen move to UD

3,700 Freshman Move to UD   Freshmen are so goddamned adorable- so impossibly young, so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Last night I partied with some friends, and we enjoyed the spectacle of the hordes of freshmen looking for parties. We even helped one freshman who got just a little too drunk- the whole thing was kinda surreal- because it felt like just yesterday I WAS that guy, and now...it's four years later and I'm now the "cool upperclassmen", as the Freshman put it. It's weird

Long-term starry-eyed love? Sure, why not?

I turned thirty on the 20th. I told members of my Yahoo group that I was going to write in my blog about what I've learned about love in 30 years.   That sounds waay too effing pretentious. And boring too. And that's not exactly what I meant to say anyway.   What got me to thinking I'd like to post something on love is that there's a lot of cynicism about the whole romance-thing-over-the-long-haul. It seems as though a person's belief in the whole "in-love" or "romance" thing is inversely pr

Unlocking the inner activist

So I've been looking for somebody to take out all this pent-up rage on. After a week of picking up everyone's slack, cleaning up everyone's mess, putting up with everyone's shit and dealing with outlandish expectations, I've finally found a person to take out all this frustration on.   It went something like this:   Friday 4pm. You get home from work and find the heater is turned up to max, that there's a load of washing drying out and there's not a single person home to supervise. After fur

Straight, Straight, & Super Straight

So I had to break up with my two pretend boyfriends and the 3rd one who was a backup. Fantasy over .     So I got up early to go running with the boys. Met them at the Bagel shop and we started our run. First off, Damien wasn't around and it was mentioned that he must have had problems with his new baby (strike 1).   During the course of the run, I find out that the backup guy has a wife and two teenage girls, and used to be principal of a private catholic school (strike 2).   And th

Getting Older

One of the joys of getting older is the need to subject yourself to various and sundry tests and procedures meant to diagnose cancer early.   Beware of the Flexible Sigmoidoscopy.   It's not like a Colonoscopy because it doesn't turn the corner between the traverse colon and the descending colon. It only goes up to the corner. Also, they don't use any drugs to ease the comfort of having your colon blown up like a balloon or having a long, hard, flexible probe run up the tunnel.   It was ni

my Pretend Boyfriends

So I'm still running pretty regularly (about 13 out of 14 days) so that means that I continue to run into my two running crushes at least 3 or 4 times a week. They always have some encouraging words or salutations for me, like 'Heya Vic' or 'Good Morning Vic' or 'Nice job Vic' or 'Looking Good Vic' or 'See you tomorrow Vic'. Perks me up everytime I runinto them.   When you're out there running, just trying to keep up your pace, your mind starts to wander. I've started to build up fantasies

440 to the dome

Well, I officially know what it's like to have the living shit shocked out of me. I was working on a panel box today at work and I went to remove a fuse, but I didn't lock out the power first. Basically, I got my ass lit up with 440 Volts and I'll never forget the feeling. It was brief, and to be honest it didn't hurt, but it was definitely an eye opener. I'll NEVER make that mistake again.   Okay, so now onto an issue that I really consider to be none of my business, but what the hell.... Loo

Play For Keeps, who's with me?

There has been craziness afoot this past week in my life and there is so much to tell... grab your popcorn and settle in. This is like when your mom told you that you better go before you leave the house cause it's gonna be a long ride.   In no specific order:   Annemarie came home from her first day of band camp with a gift. Tradition, she says, for the seniors to give the freshman a gift. A notepad and pen to mark where she is supposed to be in each set on the field, a chapstick, a band ai

What matters in life

I got up this morning and went for a hellacious jog. It's been a week since I've ran, and I realize now that I shouldn't have taken such a long break. My legs feel like rubber right now, but I guess if nothing else I can at least say that I got it out of the way and tomorrow morning's run shouldn't be quite as bad.   So when I got home I jumped in the shower and when I got out, I went to check on the baby. When I went in there she was awake and for a change, she wasn't screaming her head off.
