The weeks are flying by.

Yes, time is flying. Just when I think that I'm going to have a little time to take a breath...poof, there goes my free time. I've been pretty busy with assembly over the past couple of weeks and I'm happy to say that the trend is continuing at least into the next week. God is really blessing me with the extra income. On the other hand, my van is in the shop, so some of that hard-earned money will go straight back into the cash-sucker that is my vehicle.

I watched Star Wars: A New Hope last night. What a great movie. It's been like three years since I watched the original trilogy. That's too long for this guy.

Our garden is coming along. By the time it's all said and done this garden is going to be seriously kickin'. I've got the area tilled up, thanks to my neighbor letting me use his roto-tiller. I've got to get the fence posts planted and the chicken (or poultry, for you PC folks out there) wire installed and this garden is going to be amazing.

Dude, it's been like 2 weeks.

So, it's been a while since I've graced the world wide web with my insightful commentary on whatever the heck I want to go off on. 13 long days, to be exact. A lot has happened in these 13 days. Last weekend we went to visit some friends of ours, and Kevin and I made him a new garden. Now, that thing was hot. I'm talking sizzlin' hot. It's completely boxed in with poultry wire and even sports a knockout door that just calls out "enter and be filled with fresh, green veggieliciousness." It really gave me the itch to get out and plant our garden. I have to say that last year really gave me a love for growing vegetables. It gives one a satisfaction, an even keener sense of providing, to actually cultivate, grow, and harvest a season's worth of fresh, vitamin-packed organic goodness, grown from the very bowels of mother earth. Yes, real satisfaction is found right in my own back yard.

Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. It's been a great three years and I can't believe how quickly it has gone by and how far we've come with our family, home, etc in just a short 36 months. Hopefully I'll keep kickin' it for the next 50 years (or 600 months, if you want to look at it that way).

Really grinds my gears.

You know what really grinds my gears? Email addresses that market a person's self-image to the world. For instance, I talked with a customer this morning who's name is Ace (?) and his email address is misterfrikincool@ yadda yadda. Now dude, that ego right there. It's like the guy who goes in for an interview and has his resume labeled with an address of greatbiggunboats@ muscles.com. Do you really need to tell the world via your eletronic mail tag what you think about yourself? It's been my experience that when somebody thinks they're something great, they're usually delusional. Why can't people have email addresses that just get the job done? Like jrsmith@ whatever. Or even something ambiguous, like boater72@ ilikesailing. I took an email address from a guy the other day and it was something to the tune of str8outtahe...you get the idea. Why can't a web moniker be used to express onesself without labeling the individual as an egotistical prick or a possessed psycho? You're feeling me here, right? So, I think I'm going to go change my email address from slavelabor@ weemplyslaves to bestdadintheworld@ mykidsrbettrthnurs.
