With some of the shocking and unexpected deaths that have occurred this past week, I’m sure there are many people thinking about mortality right now. Billy Mays’ death strikes me as most shocking, for at this time, there is no information about how he passed. It was so unexpected. Not to mention two well known entertainers, Michael Jackson and Ed McMahon.

I feel it’s important to not focus just on death, but life as well. Yes, it is sad when someone important to us passes, especially when it is a family member.  However, acceptance is an important step to moving on. Make sure to take the time you need to mourn, but allow yourself to continue expressing life. I feel that the best way to honor the memory of the departed is to continue expressing you.

So, yes we once again are reminded of our mortality. The good or bad news is that we don’t know what happens after this existence. I have my own theories as I am sure you all do as well. But, don’t let it impede your life. Continue to celebrate your life and live how you see fit. Carpe Diem, as they say.

Hello everyone!  I do hope you are still around, because I do know I have been a bit absent as of late.  I do apologize, but apparently work and school make it harder for me to blog.  Of course I can also blame World of Warcraft (which I have taken a two week vacation from) and of course The Sims 3.  It seems that I have less time to do all the things I want to do and have to do.

The biggest news I have is that the store I work at closed a few weeks ago.  The clean up and product transfers are all done.  It is a relief to me.  I feel like a stressful part of my life is over.  Now the question is, “What happens next?”  Well, that is a question that I cannot answer as of right now.  Sorry, you’ll just have to wait.  Hopefully not another two months, but I can’t promise anything.

School has been going quite well so far.  I’ve finished two classes with an A-!  Not bad since the classes can be a little intense.  I’m really enjoying being a university student.

Here is a quick update on my writing career:  1) Still dormant.  Yes folks, I haven’t written anything creative since the writing contest for WoW.  Right now, I’m mostly writing research papers.  I could post them here on the sight, but they are not very entertaining.  Though if you bug me enough, you could change my mind, assume you still visit this site.  2) I’m still technically broke.  Well, in debt, but what’s the difference?  I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this but I think I’m going to have to ask Obama for a bailout.  Why not?  I worked hard for eight years in retail.  Shouldn’t I get some sort of thank you check or something?  I suppose I shouldn’t complain since Uncle Sam is paying for school.  3)  I’m still single.  Can’t understand why?  Neither can I.  Yes for a while I was afraid of women, but that’s all in the past.  Now I’m uber awesome (I hope) so there shouldn’t be a problem.  They say that I should go to places where women gather so that I can meet some by chance.  Apparently, none of them gather in my room, maybe they don’t realize how much fun it is here.  I mean come on, I have surround sound and a HDTV in here!  Blu-ray rocks!  So, if any of you ladies out there are desperate and hot, think of me.  And if you aren’t sure, at least take some time to think about it.  Its ok, I’ll probably still be single by the time you decide to give me a shot.  I never leave my room.  (Disclamer:  This paragraph is meant as a joke only and should not be taken as serious or truthful.  Some statements made here may not be accurate or could be embarrassing.  Please don’t tell anyone).

Right well, I hope to be able to make some time each week to keep the site up to date.  I really do miss the blogging.  I’m also planning to kick start my video blog again so watch out for that!
