Your Vik...

Your Viking Name is...K?ri Stronghawk Your Viking Personality: You're a fearsome Viking, but you aren't completely uncivilized. The other Vikings make fun of you for that. You are strong and tireless, frequently shouldering burdens that would tire lesser men. You're not a "berserker", but you're among the toughest sane Vikings around. You would have a very tough time making a long sea voyage in a Viking longboat. Other Vikings consider you "one of the guys". You don't have a lot of tact, so it's lucky Vikings never cared much for diplomacy. You sometimes come off as a bit of a snob. Vikings are not snobbish people -- they either like you, or they kill you. Try to be more like a Viking.

Laughbaum finally left today. Chapter closed on that girl.

I am fina...

I am finally getting back to the swing of who I am. I went out to this cool record store downtown and started to replenish my CD collection. I looked through the vinyl but that was not really their thing. I need to find a good record shop. I picked up the following:1. Nickelback: Silver Side Up2. Bob Marley and the Wailers: Best Of3. Oasis: (What's the Story) Morning Glory?4. Sheryl Crow: Tuesday Night Music ClubYes I know that is an odd mix, but I am an odd strange man. 89x has the Counting Crows listed as playing an upcoming concert at the Hill Auditorium but I can't find any info on it. I really want to go. I am going to call out there Monday. I would not mind going to see Nickelback either. They Might Be Giants played tonight, I am sorry that I missed it. I also need to find a good coffee shop. I miss hanging out at Pikes Perk. I wrote English paper based off my experience with the white hot chocolate there. It would be nice to find a place to kick back like that around here. Somewhere to kick back and read. I need to hit the gym too. I have been slacking off but it is that time of year again. I should get off my ass and find a jujitsu class. I need to keep my skills up, less I lose that vaulted ninja status Hollister so loves to tease me about. I wish I were back with 10th Group. I really hope that all the guys are safe tonight. I do not know if any of 10th's ODA's went, but I am guessing that they did. Though with the hell they can unleash they should be fine. In any case good luck guys, God Speed - De Oppresso Liber, pro deo et patria.

Is it poss...

Is it possible to be in love with someone you have never met? Or do you simply take everything you seek and embody it into a dream? I wonder. I want this to be a given truth, that out there I have a soul mate, someone that completes me. The woman I will look at when we are eighty and still see the thriving girl that she was and will forever be to me. Someone to capture my interest and surprise me unto the end of my days. Somewhere there is a young woman out there that has caught my eye, inner eye anyway. I wonder if I have what it takes to catch hers.

Ugh, mor...

Ugh, morning. My trip to NJ went well, boring but well. I went to this little tiny place that is tucked in this valley. Beautiful, truly beautiful. It was odd because I got to go to New York City too. I have been there many times, though I never had the great urge to go to the World Trade Center. Now it was all I could think about. You can not get that close to the sight. But you can still see and smell the smoke. The people were different too, or maybe we are all a little different. I could hope. The worst part about my trip was my boss. God the man has no clue what kind of an asshole he really is. He is way beyond the Arrogant Asshole Association. I was supposed to have today off, but no he needs me to come in. I truly feel like Peter from Office Space. Anyone know about hypnosis? A little over a year though before I can walk away. What a happy day that will be. I love the idea of job security but I think it will really do me some good to break away and try something new.I need to find an artistic hobby. I want to feel like I produce (or attempt it anyway) something of value. When I was a kid I had a lot of promise as an artist, I just never really thought about becoming one. I always thought more about becoming a politician. I remember this pin that a friend of mine gave me in eighth grade or so, "Currently seeking a country to rule." I think that if I ever run for president I will have that pin in my jacket pocket as a good luck charm. Time for me to stop rambling and go take a shower, work calls.
