I took two weeks off from work. It was so necessary. I’d been burning the candle from both ends and had begun melting wax in the middle. I feel like a new man!

“The People in Your Life”
In my head
I’ve kept my old friends alive
Some are dead and gone
But in my head they live onOthers are alive and well
I laugh at the good times
That bonded us so well
Yet they never call
They’ve moved onFriends and family
For whom I loved so dear
And craved close relations
Are nowhere nearI know communications
And relations
Are a two way street
I have not done my partLife gets busy
Different paths pull us apart
We don’t mean to stray
Different priorities
Just make it that wayEach of us has a role to play
In other people’s lives
May be just for a moment
A passing in a line
A kindness
Remembered a long timeMaybe we were the brother
They never had
With trust shared deep
And questions unaskedDid you have a stronger influence
On me than I had on you
You made all the difference
Did I ever thank youYou are still present in my head
I’m not sure
What happened to you
Are you still alive or deadWe enter each other’s lives
When we are needed
We depart
When they need their freedomI will always love each of you
In my head you live on
Maybe the time has come
To allow the past to pass on
To make room for others
Until they too
Move onI hold a place for you
In my heart
Should you want or need
We can restartAnd make memories anew
With adventures ahead
Not stuck in the past
Just moving forward insteadBygone times brought us together
Life drew us apart
Future possibilities
Exciting thoughtsOne day I hope to see you again
My friend
Should our time together be done
Just know I love you
We had so much fun! -
Happy 25th Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary Cathy! A quarter century of adventure! And so much more to come. I love you!

Procrastieating
I want bacon
Or maybe it’s just procrastination
Hard to think
While I salivate
I salivate
Because I procrastinate
Now I procrastieat
Bacon is what I need -
Neglected
I love sharing stories and information. I love blogging. This theme is dated. The site is infected with malware that is showing ads unrealdet to me. Tiem to clearn things up. I cannot even see what I am typing so please pardon the typos.
My life is broken. I have done terrible things. Time to return to reality! si

So you want to be a programmer?
Software development is a lot like completing the Boston Marathon only to be yanked over to the train tracks and asked to fix the rail and getting it fixed just in time for the train to run you over then it jumps the tracks anyway and you have to get it back on the tracks before the next train to run you over hits the first train.

No reward without risk, right?
I bought the ticket
I am taking the ride.
Hope I’m on the correct train.

Social media timeout
This week, when I have the urge to social media, I’m instead forcing myself to open Seterra and quiz myself on world geography, practice a language, or practice Morse code. So far I’ve learned that if I ever leave the United States I’ll be pretty lost and I’m more likely to succeed ordering a taco in cw than Spanish.

State of me
I’d like to think I wasn’t always a dumbass but there isn’t a lot of evidence to support that assertion

Coming to terms
At some point you just have to come to grips with the fact that you will never matter to others as much as they matter to you
