It's been a while since I've posted here. Guess I should probably change that.
I have plenty of reasons why; work, dating, church, alien invasions and the like. But from one honest sailor to another, it's simply a matter of priorities.
While I probably won't be able to keep up with myself here I think I should note that my life indeed isn't empty and there are plenty of stories from the past year and a half since I started full time work that I could share. Now the challenge will simply be remembering all of them....
Suffice it to say I am still dating a wonderful girl (we've been together since last December) and am enjoying life to the fullest. Having a full time job and income does wonders for the quality of my dates too. Budgeting is next on my list, I'll have to let you know how that goes.
Other than that there isn't really all that much to share that I have to share...but the good news is I'm still alive!
ps, I also have a new nickname now based off of my last name. A few co-workers at work have dubbed me the Bison. Not that this matters at all to your daily life, just thought I'd share.

On a more serious note...
It is groundhog day tomorrow. It also very very very very very very very very cold, and I dislike this. I live in Tejas. This place is supposed to be warm. It's really too bad that they say the groundhog is only correct about the weather about 39 percent of the time.
Let's just hope that we don't turn into zombies. Yes, that was random.

A Psalm on being Single
I was just going through some of my old songwriting notes from past years, and came across this short piece I must've written a long time ago. There are very few if any editing marks on it, and it was written in pen so either this is a final draft I rewrote (unlikely, since I don't have any other copies) or it just came to me like this.
After reading over it this evening a couple times I really felt like posting it, so just before I check out for the night I've booted up my computer to share this little bit of my life. I hope you all enjoy it.
Words like worms wriggle through my mind,
No sense, no rhythm, no rhyme.
Only feelings none could express,
A meaning so deep only God could confess.
A prayer like leaven rises within
A hope of heaven, and a fear of sin.
Glimmers of beauty and snatches of starlight
My mind is melancholy through lonely night.
Visions of valiance, high noble deeds
Shining white horses, great gallant steeds.
Some times I cry, others I laugh.
I wonder in amazement
I feel so simple, so lost inside;
Yet somehow everything turns aright
It haunts me like tantalus' curse --
I reach out, and yet hold back
I yearn for comfort, but lack courage
I seek companionship and still am shy
As if it were a knot, my life is strung
Every thread a life which through mine has come
All tied in, no root unrelated
So much that I feel dissipated.

The joys of life
Last night when I got to my car the remote didn't unlock the door. So I unlocked it with the key. When I turned the key in the ignition, nothing happened. Literally nothing, no lights came on, no needles fluttered, and the engine might as well have not been there. The Pearl was dead in the water, so to speak.
Thus begin my adventures for the week so far. I pushed the button on the wall and called up security, and they dispatched a truck to come jump my car. I was planning to go to the temple with friends, but wasn't sure if the car would start again. After driving home, showering (we had been playing basketball after work) and changing my faith was rewarded when the engine sputtered to life without issue. After the temple it started for a second time on it's own; I decided to tempt fate and stopped to fill my empty tank, and it started on its own power for a third time at the gas station on the way home.
Once home last night I got my things together so that this morning all I had to do was roll out of bed and shave, then I started the three mile bike ride to avoid the construction on my street to get to work. Once at work I logged my ride as a workout, then used the showers at the fitness center to clean up and get dressed for work.
Once ready I walked upstairs to the cafeteria across from my work area and ordered an omlette for breakfast and bought a minute maid orange juice to reward myself. I feel like He-man today.
