hi there!

So no one knows this thing exists. It's early August, 2005. I've been thinking of doing one of these things forever, but have been lazy. Eventually, the desire to BS outweighed the laziness, so here it is.

It's been a wierd couple of weeks. I had the archetypal thing happen where the Man Thinks He Is On Top of the World. Fans of archetypes will recognize this as Man Who Is About To Get Schooled. Doh!

I'm 35. I'm going back to school this fall(*) to finally get a college degree, after something like 8 years of rather weak attendance back in the early nineties. I used to say that "I wanted to render myself unemployable, so I'd have to start something of my own." It worked. I have a small business, which will require rambling about later.

When something lousy happens to me, I always try to do three impossible things. It serves as a way to usually get maybe one of them done. The three things this time are: work out every day, go back to school and get my degree, and go to systema and get beat up by my screenprinter.

I have a strange feeling that school is going to be the thing that hurts least.
