And by tomorrow, I mean 5 days later . . .

The whole blog about Twitter thing has totally lost it’s allure to me now.  5 days ago it was interesting. . .  Sorry.  Cliff’s notes:  My brother kept making some lame comments about how Twitter was on its way out and how crappy it was as a tool.  I disagreed and just this week, a study was released talking about Twitter and it’s drawbacks. . .

I suppose – since I am here now, I should write something.  It’s strange though, I have like a gagillion things in my mind, but I don’t know where to start.  AND – since I was supposed to be napoblomoing this month, I feel like I should be writing about HEROES.  But, that’s part of this issue I think.  I don’t want to blog because I HAVE to.  I want to blog because I WANT to . . .  You know?

I think jumping into three blogs after being inactive for months was a bit much.  I really should just blog for the sake of blogging.  I did like January, however – when I DID blog every day.  But, I gotta say – I just liked January for what it was.  I was in CA, I saw Don (and Scott) EVERY DAY(!!!) and I really just liked what was happening.  Yes, there were some definite downers, but they were easily worked through.

Anyway – enough about me.  How are you?

Yeah. . .

. . . life used to be easier.

Remind me tomorrow to write about Twitter.

And don’t forget – efusjonshinshige.wordpress.com and socialdiscovery.wordpress.com.

Ciao.

Blogging . . .

. . . everyday is a freaking challenge.  I have all these things I want to say, but don’t necessarily have the time to say them. . .  I swear life used to be easier.

G’night.

Geneticists are Heroes.

I am still writing about my heroes.  Well, I was talking to my siblings about who amongst us can curl our tongues.  I cannot and all three of my siblings can.  Tongue curling is a dominant trait.  I am not sure if both of my parents could do it or not, but at least one of the two had to be able to because 3/4 of us CAN do it. . .

This punnett square shows how the probabilities work . . .  I find this fascinating.

If “A” is the trait of being abot to curl your tongue, and “a” is the inability, then you only need one “A” to be able to do it.  However, in orfer to not have the ability (like me), then one needs two “a”s to allow for the trait to NOT show up.  If you look at the square, the odd of having 2 “a”s is .25 – which is what happened in our family.  Nice.

I will not like this to my siblings. . .

Ciao.

02 June – go nablopomo. . .

OK, here is to day two of the National Blog Post Month (I think that is where nablopomo comes from).  Today, I am going to write about . . . you know, I am not sure about whom I was planning on writing.  I am supposed to write about “HEROES.”  As I reflect on my life and experiences, I am not convinced I have any heroes. . .  That sounds unfair, I am sure.  I mean – yes, there have been many people with whom I have come in contact over the year who may have been influencial.  But worthy of the title, “Hero,” I don’t think so.

Maybe tomorrow something more profound will come to me.

Ciao.

June nablopomo . . .

Wow, it’s already June.  Where in the hell does all the time go?  What has happened since we last spoke?  A lot, I presume.  Please hold while I go back and read my last entry. . .

OK – I am back.  Well, surprisingly – not a lot has happened since May 19th.  All the same things apply.  To begin – Today is 01 June 2009.  Since it is the beginning of the month, and I have been wanting to get back into blogging, I am gong to utilize nablopomo this month on three different blogs.  Do you think I can do it?  I think I can. . .  I will be using this one as it is my personal blog – dedicated to just sharing myself with teh world. . .  I used to have a decent amount of readers, but you have disappeared.  I don’t blame you – I would leave, too, if I left like I did . . .  (Huh?)

So – I am also tracking my family’s journey with efusjon on:  http://efusjonshinshige.wordpress.com; and I will also be blogging on my http://socialdiscovery.wordpress.com blog which is more of a socio-political blog.

This month’s nablopomo theme is “HEROES.”  Who is my hero today?  Me.  Not the me of today, mind you – no, it is that guy I am trying to change.  I want to be “me” again.  The me who had little anxieties about the world. . .  The me who doesn’t get asked, “What’s up with you lately?“  The me people look to for help and adoration.  I’m still here a little, but I want to be here a lot. . .  That is a challenge for me.

Oh – and Jenn – I have no answer for that inquiry. . .

Ciao.

Hello everyone,

I am going to attempt to regularly blog on here again.  My life is settling down (a very little bit, but a bit, nonetheless. . .)  I do want everyone to know I have created a secondary blog, dedicated to solely tracking my quest with efusjon, an energy drink company in which my family and I have recently invested.

If you are interested, you can start to follow along here. . .  http://efusjonshinshige.wordpress.com/

Fare thee well

It’s been a while . . .

Hello everyone,

I want to begin by asking how many people have been checking in on me?  I hope a few.  I liked when I was getting a lot of readers the beginning of the year.  Well, I have been in a helluva state the last few months, but things are turning around, so I really think I will be back.  A lot of exciting things have been happening the last while and I am ready to let the world know.  ;)

So . . .  the question is – do I begin now, or do I wait?  I think I will start here in just a few.

OK . . .  It’s been a few.

One week ago, on Monday, 11 May 2009, I GOT A JOB!!!  That’s right.  A job.  Like a real job.  Better than the last “job” I got.  I try not to remember Idaho.

So – working, yeah that’s good.

Also – a frined of mine, Shawn, has invited me to write a pro socialized medicine piece for a magazine in the Summer.  He was asked to write a pro/con article and he is a Libertarian, so he obviously would have no problems writing in teh con areas.  He aske me for help.  Love that.

Finally (for this post) – I am now the new Parson.  The Director of Alumni Relations at Westminster contacted me last week to ask if I would be interested in becoming the new face of the Parsons.  Of course, I said yes!!!  Yay me.

OK – I am going to bed.  I’ll write again tomorrow.

Ciao

The world . . .

just sucks sometimes.

But – HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!  Yay for the earth.  Boo for the world.  Hmmm, strange.

GAVIN

FATHER
Really?  You want to fight the government?

GAVIN
Yes.  When they come to our house, I Will fight
them. . . like this:

GAVIN takes a karate stance (in this chair) and chops
and kicks into the air.

FATHER
OK, buddy.  You fight the government.

GAVIN

FATHER
No, buddy.  They will not take your toys.

GAVIN
OK.
