So the wife and kids are watching a movie and I am surfing the internet looking at YouTube for something to occupy my attention and I found this:
I found it very funny anyway!

Leap Day
Yes, it is leap day again. My 7th leap year to be exact.
So happy birthday to all the leapers out there...I guess leaper is the non-PC term, but who knows!
Anyway, tonight we have two extra children staying with us because my son's friend's sister is having a birthday and he and his little brother did not want to stay in the house with a bunch of girls...so they came to my house.
Its been about 4 1/2 hours since they got here and I am ready to pitch a tent in the backyard and stay there tonight. If I hear "But he said I couldn't be Superman because he is Superman!" or "He's not taking turns, its my turn!"
My head is about to explode. Pray for me that I survive the night, or that they survive the night!
I think it is movie time, Balto here we come!!

Being sick and other things
So I am home sick from work. This makes the second day in a row. My son is sick too so we have been laying in bed playing Playstation like all good little boys should when they are sick. Not really sure what is wrong with him except that it is allergies. We go to the allergist on the 4th to see what it is exactly that he is allergic too.
I am expecting balloons to fall from the ceiling, bands and ticker tape when we walk through the door...well, maybe not. I know that I am not going and my wife gets to have a wonderful time while they do the scratch test on his back - at least that is how I assume they are going to do the test. What fun!
In other news I had a new cable line ran to my house because the other one was old and not conducive to the internet for some reason. Everything is working fine now so once again I am free to ponder the existence of the universe here in blogger-space to my hearts content.
I am a few days behind on my school work for my Masters which is totally due to my failure in internet service. I hope to jump on it like gangbusters tonight and knock it out for another week or two. If that is not an option then I will laugh about it and then frantically figure out how bad my grade is now and if I need to beg for some extra credit work.
Being sick and taking care of a sick kid is exhausting. I want a nap in the worst way but instead I will play Star Wars Battlefront again, and again, and again, and again...

Heroes
I am a fan of the television show Heroes. I don't know why it so interests me, perhaps it taps into my dreams of being different. Perhaps it is the child in me who sat on rainy Saturdays and read Marvel and DC comic books. Maybe its just an amazing show with plot twists and subplots that are woven pretty well into the main storyline and crop up later on to make you go "hmmmm".
I finally got my wife to watch some of the episodes and now she is hooked. I get to share my guilty pleasure!!!
I have spent the last few days looking at other peoples blogs and trying to figure out what it is I am wanting to shout out to the world in my own blog. I find most of my posts to be rather boring and uninteresting. Perhaps I am just that nameless figure sitting in a chair typing on a computer thoughts that no one finds particularly insightful. Perhaps I am your average 32 year old from South East Arkansas who has a computer and some free time.
I hope I am not.
Not sure what the post is supposed to be about today, it's late.
Perhaps this will become just my online diary, worse things could happen I imagine. We will all have to wait and see, those of you besides myself who read this that is. Wait and see what happens in the future. Who knows, I may even surprise myself.

The Clincher
Got this from Cinn, figured it might be fun.
The rules:
1. Put your music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT. (This is in capital letters, so it is very serious.)
1. IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY? Killing in the Name of Love(Rage Against the Machine) Interesting response, I am sure it will illicit wonderful returns from everyone.
2. WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? One (U2) I guess this means that I am universally accepting or something...
3. WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL? Clean(Incubus) I do like my women to bathe every now and then...
4. HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? Old Apartment (BNL) I don't know how to respond to this...
5. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE? Fields of Gold (Sting)Wouldn't that be nice.
6. WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO? You Can Do Magic (America) Awesome, now I can get that flying broomstick and shove it straight up Harry's...
7. WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU? One of You (Vertical Horizon) Interesting since I have a twin brother.
8. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS? Love Song (Sara Bareilles) Yep, about sums it up
9. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN? Tea in the Sahara (The Police) Funny that should come up because in fact today...
10. WHAT IS 2+2? Let the bodies hit the floor (Drowning Pool) Sometimes that is so very true..
11. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND? The Way (Fastball) Apparently she wants to pack and leave which is so very true right now
12. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE? Caught in the Rain (Revis) Apparently I want her to be in the rain, with me..or something to that effect.
13. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY? Animal I Have Become (Three Days Grace) Yep, that about sums it up - GRRRRRRRRRRR!!
14. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? Domino Dancing (Pet Shop Boys) I want to be a dancing diva!!
15. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE? Would? (Alice in Chains) Nice, I think of running away from them...or I totally miss the point of the song...
16. WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU? Scotty Doesn't Know (Lustra) Now what is that song trying to tell me!
17. WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING? Freedom (Blues Traveler) How Ironic. I hope my wife doesn't read this...
18. WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL? Pinch Me (BNL) Just to make sure I am dead I imagine, which makes me wonder what they think about me now...
19. WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST? Becoming the Bull (Atreyu) I have issues...
20. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET? Somebody Told Me (The Killers) My big trap again, come on you would think I could keep a secret!
21. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS? Lovefool (The Cardigans) Hey now, I wouldn't say that at all - merely well trained.
22. WHAT SHOULD YOU POST THIS AS? The Clincher (Chevelle) Figures...
Interesting exercise in time management. Let me know if you do it and how it turns out for you.

Here we are again...
My God, I can not believe that it has been almost a year since I posted on here. Truly where does the time go to?
Well I am well into my first year of teaching, I am over the hump and I have to say that I do enjoy it. In May I should have my Master's which means more pay for me and a search for a PhD program, which I should have already started but I am going ot take a short break while my wife finished up her Master's.
We briefly toyed with the idea for adding another dog to our house but we decided that now was not the time for that. I am making preperations for my garden this year. Going to add some manure and leaves and what not to the garden in an effort to improve the soil. I have even toyed with the idea of calling a bee keeper in to set up a small hive or something. Not real sure about that.
Anyway, I plan on getting a new camera soon so that I can really start adding somethings visually to this blog that I promise to do a better job of keeping up with than I have in the past. I am also working on a class website that I hope to be up and running about mid summer, just have to plan it, impliment it, and do it.
I may use blogger because I have seen others do that on here. We shall see.
