Hi.Been a while, hasn’t it?Unfortunately, I’m not completely back yet. My life is still in an unemployed shambles. Jobless and no income are still the two best descriptions of me that exist.I’ve been trying. Believe me, I’ve been trying. I just can’t believe that I can’t find anything. Things can’t really be this bad, can they?Anyway, I’ve applied for a few jobs recently and I’m still waiting to

I’m posting this from somebody else’s computer just to let you know that I’m not going to be online for the foreseeable future.Along with being unemployed and penniless for the time being, my Internet access has been cut off until I can get back on my feet.This means no blog entries, HubPages or JamsBio articles, and no email for the time being.Anything urgent can be emailed to me here at the

I took care of the one problem that was bugging me on this page, but I had to upgrade the entire template to do it. This upgrade was also necessary in order for me to install a new function on the page, which I’m not going to talk about just yet, because I don’t think it’s working yet.The upgrade has resulted in a slightly different look for the page. Some of you may not notice the difference,

I’ve been mucking about with this blog for around a week or so. I thought I had cleared out all of the errors I had been making, but apparently some still exist. I don’t know why my header has changed from what I had previously to what it is now. I’ve been trying like hell to re-do it so that it looks like I wanted, but I’m not having much luck as of yet.Please bear with me. I am working on this.

I got a notice in the mail the other day. The owners of the park where I live hope to sell it by summer. According to the letter I received, they would prefer to sell it to us, the residents, so we can make it into a co-op. I have no idea what this would do to my lot rent, raise it or lower it. I don’t really understand any of this, really. Is a co-op going to be good or bad?What happens if the

My sister got married on Saturday, the 17th. It was a nice enough ceremony. Our other two brothers and I were ushers, or as I thought of it, “crowd control.”It was an eventful couple of days, beginning with the rehearsal Friday night. The pastor made a comment Friday night about how sometimes the ceremony can be delayed by bridesmaids taking a little too long to get ready. Well, he was partly

I’ve signed up to write articles at a site called HubPages. I get to write about anything I want, and possibly make some money from it as well. We’ll see about that.My first two articles are up now.I’ve provided a link over on the left, and if you scroll down a bit, I’ve also included a widget that will take you directly to my stuff.Check it out. I hope you enjoy.

The year 2009 is officially 15 days old, and this is technically my first entry since 2008. I did do a brief piece a couple of days ago at my MySpace page, I consider this to be my OFFICIAL page, so the other doesn’t really count.Not much has happened over the course of the past 15 days. I’m still looking for work. I signed up to do some writing at another site, but I’m not giving away any

Once again, the prospect of a New Year looms upon us. Bigger and better things are supposed to be just over the horizon. Feh! I say to you, Feh! I don’t really know what Feh! means, but it seems to fit.This is the time of year when I usually do my Year in Review post. I sat thinking about it for a while, and couldn’t decide if I really felt like it. Rather than get off to a false start on it and

For the first time in a few years, we’re having one. We just got a ton of snow dumped on us over the weekend, and it’s colder outside than I’ve been used to for a long time.By the way, this entry probably won’t hit the page until sometime Tuesday, but I’m writing it at about 0357 on Monday. I’m supposed to be at work right now. My alarm went off at 0000 as usual, and by 0005 I was outside

This post is several days late, but I haven’t had a lot of creative energy this week. It’s been divided between too many projects all at once, and all of them overdue. As it is, those of you who read me at work probably won’t see this until Monday the 15th, as slow as I’m typing it today.This past Sunday, December 7th, my sister Corinna and I trooped on down to St. Paul for the annual

We all know that time passes at different speeds depending upon how old you are.For preteens, time takes forever to pass. Usually measured between birthdays or Christmases, it’s a lifetime between each one.For teenagers, particularly those in high school, it moves a little faster, but not enough to be truly noticeable. Time there is usually measured between getting your driver’s license, and then

It started yesterday. Yesterday, from my perspective, was Thanksgiving Day. Not Turkey Day, Thanksgiving Day. Yesterday from your perspective was probably Sunday, since most of you took long weekends and only read me when you’re at work.Yesterday, of course, kicked off the Holiday Season. Or did it? I’ve never really been sure of what exactly makes up the “holiday season.” I’ve had my own idea

I’ve always disliked political discussion. Hell, I’ve always disliked anything whatsoever to do with politics. I find the topic boring. That’s why, way back in the second entry of this blog, I stated that political discussion would be almost nonexistent here. I’m starting to find that it isn’t the easiest thing in the world to avoid. Anyway, on to today’s topic: I did a lot of thinking about this

I was nervous. I couldn’t believe I was about to do this for the first time at the age of almost 42. Yes, I know I probably should have done it sooner, but I just hadn’t seen any pressing need to take care of it until now.I voted for the first time in my life today. I don’t care if you think I should have done it long ago; I never had a reason to do so until now. To be honest, I’m still not sure

Wow.Been a while, hasn’t it?I’ve been thinking about this for a day or two. I have to fling something across the page a bit more often so it doesn’t look like I’ve abandoned it altogether. Trouble is, there isn’t much going on these days except work.There have been some changes at work over the past week, some of which are even good. My route has changed, which I like a LOT. I no longer have any

And now it’s time for the staff here at Mid-Life Crisis World Headquarters to look into the files of the least discussed topic on this blog: Politics. DUM dum dum DUM DUM DUM!Be advised, some of the subject matter today has already appeared in slightly altered form back on December 18, 2006. This, however, being an election year, it’s time once again for me to get up on my soapbox and offer all

Bella and I made it into a story in the local newspaper today. It’s not much, but there we are. You might have to create an account to view the page, but it’s free and they don’t spam.I am SO glad they did this right BEFORE I got my hair cut. I almost wish I'd left Bella home that day. I know as well as everybody else that she's the only reason I made it into the article.

This has already happened a couple of times this summer, but I guess Fate wanted to make sure that they were all done before fall. Last Thursday I got another flat while out on the route. It was mostly my fault; I had been driving on a slow leak for a lot longer than I should have been, and the tire finally had enough and gave out. As always, though, it had to happen at the least convenient time

No, I’m not apologizing for using the word “retarded.” I don’t care that it’s politically incorrect. I’ve explained often enough that I’m not politically correct either. I’m also politically unaware, and socially conscience-less, to coin a phrase. I’m not, however, as crabby as this first paragraph makes me seem. Or at all, even. I’m just being Me. +evil grin+ Besides, when I use the word ‘

I’ve been meaning to throw something up (so to speak) here on the page for several days now, but for whatever reason, I just haven’t gotten around to it until now. Since it’s this late in the day, those of you who read me at work probably won’t see this until Monday, but that’s okay. FYI, as I write this, it’s Friday the 15th at about 1535.There was a birthday party for the twins this past Sunday

I just happened to take a glance here at the page, and noticed that it’s been 20 days since I’ve posted anything, let alone written anything to post.I’m slipping.I’d have to research the entire history of the blog to verify this, but I think this is the longest lapse I’ve had since the blog itself was still on MySpace®.
