Today in my Animal Breeding class, my instructor wrote what I consider to be some very outrageous, even vulgar formlas on the board (for those who don’t know, Breeding is, unfortunately, explained by statistics. Anyone who has had a statistics class may feel sorry for me now). I’ll try to reproduce one here, [...]

Something has me confused about ‘industrial’ America. What I mean by ‘industrial’ are businesses and universities. In business, the thinking is the “customer is always right”, and “how can we wow the customer?” Many universities actively recruit students to attend their school. These corporations go out of their way to impress [...]

I know one outlook on weblogs is that they are like an online diary. You just write whatever you want and who cares what anyone else thinks. For some reason I don’t feel like this is jut my diary; a script no one should read. I’ve never been interested in having a [...]

Now signs are springing up telling me to “Vote No on 1!” That’s great. Wonderful of you to tell me what to do. Now the only problem is that I have no idea what “1″ is. I looked on the State of Maine website last night. Do they list any [...]

I really dislike talking about politics. What I saw today has made me do it. Curse you people!
This morning I saw the first political signs of the season stuck in people’s lawns. It’s like they come out during the night, when you least expect them. (Maybe they are ashamed to show [...]

My attempts to blog like Peter are not being met with worldwide popularity…yet I press on…this time making an idiot out of myself instead of others…
At what point did the word “vitriolic” come to be mainly associated with hate? Nobody asked me before cementing this association. I’m not for it. Big surprise. [...]

Here’s an actual email I received from someone at the office where I used to work :
“Hello:-)
Well, Shackley* misses you she had to get [a whole box full of computer] paper out of the [supply closet*] this morning…hehe”
*names changed so normal people can understand them.
This got me to thinking: How is my old [...]

With the weekened quickly approaching, I just want to leave you with yesterday’s post and with the fact that the forecast from now until next Friday is nothing but sun around these parts.

Anybody else like little testimonies? I like little testimonies. I don’t necessarily mean short testimonies, but I mean testimonies about the “little things” that God does for you. I like those. If you are ever questioning if the great God of the universe is a personal God, just think of little [...]

Alienation is in, right? I mean, even Trey is doing it nowadays. That’s a good thing, because this was on my mind today. How I can justify this with my faith, I know not. Probably my only hope is to repent of my thoughts after I finish typing…
I know this is [...]

No sympathy for my horrible Wednesday. Rough crowd.
I like roast beef. It’s good stuff. I’m wondering, though, why they call it “roast” beef? It looks rather raw to me. Tastes kinda raw too…only without the blood. How much can you actually cook this “roast” beef and have it stay [...]

All work and no play (and bronchitis) makes me a dull boy.

I have officially completed one week of training at my new job. It was all sitting in front of a computer learning the programs that we use in my job. Unfortunately, I’ve been very tired this week and some of the information did not stay in my brain very long. It will [...]

So, I’ve been back to college since Monday. You would think (I would think, at least) that by the time people were mature enough to go to college that they would no longer have the “look at me, I need your attention” attitude. Alas, it seems some slipped through.
The University of Maine is [...]
