Shut down my web server

So, I shut down my web server. It now should point here. I never blog anymore, but still want to keep the domain name: merelyadequate.net for nostalgias sake I guess.

My Real Blog

If you think I never post here, you are correct. :-)

My real blog is here: MerelyAdequate.net

Robyn pics from Laurie's Camera

Wow! My sister is the best! She found an old roll of film from May of 2005 and had them developed. There were four pictures of our trip to Boston, when my family met Robyn for the first time. Here they are in all their glory!









I love that last one. When you are in a long distance relationship, you rely so much on pictures and you forget lots of expressions. I love to watch her laugh.

:-D

School, Gaming, Work, Church, Robyn Updates

It's October 1st, I feel I should write...something!

I'm in an odd, nostalgic mood, I'm listening to Metallica - ...And Justice For All. It reminds me of a simpler time: 1990-1991 to be exact, but it spans more time than that. I remember a time when I didn't worry..where I didn't have anything to worry about. Well..I wasn't aware of anything anyway. Ignorance really can be bliss.

Now I live in a time where i have bills to pay, a girlfriend who I love more than anything who lives too far away, a job that doesn't pay me what I am worth, and a car that I still have three more years of payments on that is choking me to death. Oh...and I can type one mean run-on sentence. ;-)

School is going well. It involves a lot of reading this time around, but I think I can take it. I'm told the next class I will be taking, Java Programming, will be rough, but I'm not exactly a stranger to programming, though it's been a very, very long time. I'll have a full-blown associate degree in February and I will be able to begin my bachelor degree program. I hope to take a small break between the two.

I've been playing some older video games from time to time. Currently I'm playing Soul Reaver for the Playstation. it's one of my favorites. I won't be buying any Microsoft X-Box 360's. Sony Playstation 3's, or Nintendo Wii's any time soon. The Wii is the most affordable, but I just can't justify the expense right now, and honestly, I don't play enough games to justify it, not to mention there are some months where I'm not sure if I 'll be able to buy food or gas for my car. The last game that blew me away was the magnificent Shadow of The Colossus, I truly consider that one of the best games I've ever played. Artistically and game-play-wise it is amazing.

Work goes well, though I still wish they would pay me more. I've applied for several Goodyear jobs, but due to budget constraints and my lack of any actual college degree, I haven't actually been hired for any of them.

Mom and I are still attending Rivertree and really enjoying it. I'd like to become more involved, but between work and school, I don't feel I have enough time. It's sad how I can always find excuses to not serve the one who died on a cross to save me.

Robyn and I are still very much in love and planning a split December visit. She will come here for part of the trip and then we will fly back to her town for the latter part. We are both excited. No definite plans for the wedding yet, but we are working on it.

So that's it...that's my update. I hope to update more frequently from now on. My apologies for not doing so before.
