Dreams: What a waste of time
So here it is:  All of this took place on a pier; one of those big piers in San Francisco bay.  I was walking along the pier and it must’ve been a Wednesday right before sundown, ‘cuz it was pretty empty.  So I’m walking along and I see a couple of my friends sitting at a table and I have a seat and have a quick chat about how I lost my phone and still haven’t got it...

A lesson in entropy...and i guess life in general
I though unemployment was going to be an amazing time where my life would get put back together again.  I was going to re-center my priorities, make a list of the things that I wanted to accomplish in life and try to do everything in my power to get them done, start getting active in church again…and I thought it was going to happen naturally.  Too bad things don’t happen that way....

My 9 Months at 2K Games
Alright, for the last 9 months, I’ve been working at 2K Games as a Quality Assurance tester.  And I gotta say that it’s been one of the more interesting periods of my life.  Well, now that I think about it, I haven’t really had too many periods in my life. Just 4 periods really: K-12, the on-going puberty (cracking voice, bad acne, and constantly discovering hair where there...
