I have come to the conclusion that career services and services like Monster.com are just a waste of time. I’ve gotten a lot of potential employers who are impressed with my resume, it’s just a shame that the job in no way suits me or even fits me. Let alone the fact that I’m not [...]

I am the sole witness to a heinous crime, as such, I have decided [read: forced] to join the witness protection program. I have been given a whole new identity. I have a new job, live in a new city, and even have my own place! I guess you could say that I don’t find [...]

I just got a chance to finish reading chapter -100 and I swear I started tearing up after reading page five and six. Ise Nanao, an itty-bitty little girl, is already a member of the 8th Division. Every month she spent the evening with the then Vice-Captain, Yadomaru Lisa, who would read with her. Seeing [...]

Ugh, I swear, I think I should advise folks to take out a life insurance policy on me. I’m doing such stupid things, someone might as well cash in on them. First I somehow pissed off Denali when I shaved her fur this morning/afternoon. Then after all of that I had the gall to give [...]

And I’m not sure what Denali thinks of the whole affair. I took Julie’s advice and would from time to time, turn the clippers on and have them nearby when I petting or brushing Denali, especially her tummy. Well it helped bunches! This time it was such a breeze to shave her fur and it [...]

Yes, that’s right, Denali and I are about to spend some quality time together. As you can see in the picture to your left, she doesn’t exactly agree with the timing of this “bonding”. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that she caught sight of the trimmers. Ah yes, that [...]

Yowza! This week’s Booking Through Thursday question is a bit of doozy: What is reading, anyway? Novels, comics, graphic novels, manga, e-books, audiobooks — which of these is reading these days? Are they all reading? Only some of them? What are your personal qualifications for something to be “reading” — why? If something isn’t reading, [...]

Here I am working my butt off to get back into shape, bicycling, exercising, taking walks, eating healthier (although I am still slipping in some junk food here and there) and for what? My mother, whose eating habits are worse than mine, is the one losing weight while I managed to gain a few more [...]

As a kid, I’m not really sure why, I’ve always wanted one of those cigarette extenders. To me they just looked cool. I always wanted to use one and wave it around in the air like one of the 1960′s actresses. Of course, when I grew up I couldn’t really see the point in shelling [...]

Why is it that the people of our country are more willing to assist those outside our borders before helping our own? That’s not to say that it’s wrong to help others around the world, but why is it that helping others come first? If you stop and think about it, whenever the US suffers [...]
