Still working and keeping busy. I did have a little time to catch up on Kitchen Nightmare’s yesterday. I don’t understand these people they know they are in trouble and then Gordon Ramsey comes in tells them what is wrong and they act like nothing is that it is Gordon Ramsey that is wrong.

Still hoping to take a little time this weekend to update my website. Won’t be a major update. Hope everyone is doing great.

Well, for my Introduction to Arts class I am going to the Tampa Museum. This will be my first time there. I am going when it is free. Also, I get to renew my concealed weapons permit tomorrow. That is not free unfortunately. Then my mom and me are going to dinner.

On a different note. I know that the website has not been updated in a while. I am hoping to get to it before the end of the month. But, in reality it will probably be the first weekend in November. Between work and school I have been extremely busy.

Sorry I haven’t blogged in a long time or updated my website. I started classes this month and between that and work I have been extremely busy. I am going to try to get to the website later on this month.

Well, as far as anything new. I had to give up cable and went back to over the air. I like not getting a bill, but have fewer viewing choices. On the plus, I like Hulu Plus, Netflix and Amazon On Demand Video. All for under twenty dollars a month. That is it for now.

Here is a short video I shot at Alexus’ birthday party.

Just watched the War Horse. It was a very very good movie 5 out of 5 stars. Back to the grind tomorrow. Thankfully, it is a short week.

A lot has happened since the start of the year. I haven’t talked about it much, but I am now. I will be cutting my phone and cable service in the next two weeks. I have had to endure several pay cuts in the last few months. Work has had to lay off more than 200 people because of this IMPROVING economy. I fear more cuts are coming and technically I did not get laid off. However, my position on the night shift was eliminated and they were able to transfer on top of another pay cut. Now they have increased our insurance premiums, co-insurance and the amount we paid. I used to think the 80-20 split was bad. We now have a 70-30 split and in some causes 50-50 with a increase of the deductible of course. I thought healthcare was supposed to be recession and depression proof. Well, that is it for now. I continue because I know this world is a temporary stop until we all reach are permanent home. I did find time to update my website. So, stop by and take a look.

Also Happy Independence Day!

Well, I have caught a cold from someone at work. Which is going to cost me a day of work. I woke up at 1 AM and by 3AM I could not take it anymore. I drove to CVS for something for my sore throat. I am miserable right now.

Well sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. But, between school and work I have been busy. The semester has ended and I earned a B in my Technical Writing Class and a B- in my IT Concepts course.

Work has been going poorly. My position was cut. However, they were able to keep me and move me from the night shift to the day shift (less money). But, I have a job for now. There are rumors going around they are going to cut 500 people out of 4000 people that work there. So, my position my not be stable yet. I will keep everyone informed. Please keep me in your prayers.

On another front, sorry about not updating the website for a while. Again, the reasons above are my excuse. I will hopefully tackle the website in a couple of weeks. I now have to work on weekends (every third for the time being). I also moved the website to a new host, for cost and speed.

Well that is it for now. Hope everyone is doing fine.
