The Cockpit
-- 01 June 2004 - 2:54 am- Jeez, I gotta get my entries copied into my inbox before this thing gets deleted... Color me lazy, lately. -- 05 January 2004 - 3:27 am- welp, this marks the official end of this weblog. i remember Erica convincing me to sign up.. how eager she was. ;) as i have weblogged over the 2-3 years now, i have developed a writing style that has vastly improved... i find myself quite embarassed of many of my previous entries here. why the hell did i write the way i did?! huh, well, anyways... keep tabs on my new weblog which i plan to keep quite a long while: http://skysailor.blogspot.comin the meantime, i've been mulling over what to do with the accumulated entries: just leave them here until i can copy them to a reliable website host for online viewing and storage? that seems a good idea, but if it's what i decide, i'll wait until i have $ to spare to pay for a good host. i also plan on printing out my entries and putting them in personal storage. truly, it wasn't until i got my BlogSpot weblog that i really became much better with my writing; i suppose i felt more focused by the clean and refreshing layout of that blog. my writing was also inspired a particular person whom knows who he is... "foot foot!"- 03 November 2003 - 1:13 am- ah yeah... i have this weblog too. so the other weblog has been a pleasure to be using, so far. once i get employed again, i am going for a weblog account that requires payment for more features. i'm also thinking of using some HTML programs to incorporate one into my current website. we shall see... although i'm swtiched over with intentions that lean towards permanency, i'm still going to keep this thing going for a bit longer. i'm still thinking about what my weblog situation will be once i can afford something uber-featured, unlike this free version of my Diaryland weblog. boring entry, i know, whoop-de-shit. :) noli perturbare.- 16 September 2003 - 6:21 pm- i decided today to open a new weblog with another website. so far, i like the features, some of which i don't have with my free account here via Diaryland. if i end up being pleased with how it works out over the next undetermined amount of time, i may switch for good. if you'd like to view it, just contact me. :> Barefoot Adventure!- 15 September 2003 - 8:52 pm- i discovered recently that Williard park downtown is becoming a park and not a parking lot, as i had thought before. this is a good thing. my miniature sunflowers are still growing strong; 2-3 inches high already. this pleases me greatly. :) STILL waiting on callbacks from places i applied to. {sigh} already brought out the fall/winter clothes. i am so ready for the cooler wx. as much as i don't like being cold, i was born near the end of the year, so i naturally feel a sense of solace when this wx comes 'round. i have also been considering switching to a new weblog service, for quite some time now... hm. Let's Roll!- 11 September 2003 - 9:25 pm- ARGH!! my head is going to explode! my ability to focus on almost everything in life is nearly non-existent. all i have on my mind is getting a job and moving out. it's all i think about and it's like a fucking miserable cycle. i just can't... focus... on anything. there's just so much thought/worry/concern/emotion swirling through my mind that it's simply overwhelming. i'm feeling very confused... i'm tired of it. i have been requested to send in writing samples for an online newsletter of a bluegrass music website; i'm fearing that my ability to get anything sent will be very untimely because i can't bloody focus when i sit at the computer to write. i've tried writing woth pern & paper, but that is hopeless. i cannot even concentrate for a second. i dropped off 3 job applications today and have a few more places to go yet until i get hired somewhere... been thinking alot about the significance of today... i watch the news and see people embracing each other with the greatest depth of sadness a human can know reflecting in thier eyes. i am simply blown away... the emotion from such memories are powerful. i cannot help to sob so quickly when i see haunting images from that day. i am grateful to God for our unbending will and might of the human spirit he's given us; we've not let terrorists and heretics of decency & human rights break us down or steal our freedom. Amen. "duck, you shithead!"- 09 September 2003 - 10:50 pm- i must express my joy at the Free Times being resurrected. yes, i know it's been a short while now, but i finally remembered that i need to mention that. ;) going job hunting tomorrow, again; a friend volunteered to drive me around and pick up applications, due to the fact that i am broke and thus unable to bus around town. i just found out today that *sound* was recently discovered, by Chandra Xray Observatory, emitting from a distant, supermassive black hole. COOL. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/09sep_blackholesounds.htm?list1033263 i'm still slightly in a funk from that bad thing that almost happened to me; it's waning but still affecting me oddly. finger of the week- 05 September 2003 - 5:42 pm- i have learned that a former friend has been sending some very nasty IMs to a good friend of mine, whom she was communicating with as well. some very nasty things have been said; false accusations and other fallacies. this is seriously not cool. i would appreciate it if he would stop, right now. i, and my friend, are accused of 'doing something to bother' this person, which is totally untrue. i have no idea where this accusation is coming from. also, i am accused valuing my true friends by how much money they spend for my sake. huh... an amusing assumption. subject heading: use your imagination.- 03 September 2003 - 10:57 pm- -edited 7 Sept. 2003 12:12 AM- welp, the airshow is over. :( i always feel a tad depressed when it is; i have so much fun and don't want that condensed environment of aviation to have to seperate. :( something very bad almost happened to me, but thank God i am alright. it's not to say that emotionally i am still in a bit of a funk, but overall, i'm safe and well. what else... i came up with a kick ass description of pilots/crew members in flight suits: what do you call a hot pilot in a flight suit? gift wrapped! i have to bitch long and hard about something that bothers me: when in social situations, especially at the airshow parties, people give me such an odd reaction to how i am so traditional and slightly prudish. yeah, i'm a bit of a square when it comes to sex and popular social temptations. DEAL WITH IT. i don't smoke, drink, sleep around, etc. when people find out some or all of this, the reaction, usually, is a very unusual one. well, i'm tired of it. i am sick of people thinking i am boring and no fun becuase i don't sleep around and drink. again: DEAL WITH IT. i am who i am with the morals i wish to have. i see this world but i cannot relate- 27 August 2003 - 12:11 am- woo! new page! the previous was insanely lenghty. thank to Erica's help, i got it cleaned up! :> an oh, yeah, the power outage: was at home, clenaing the kitchen. power fails. i thought it odd and continued to clean. power returns for a few mintues. power flickers. power goes out 'till sometime the early in the following morning. my father was tortured by the fact that he couldn't play his computer games. oh the humanity. as for me, i called some friends and conversated, played with the dogs, sat in the driveway in my pj's and watched the sky; saw some meteors, and listened to music most of the night, as well as frequenty listening to the news on the FM/AM. what amuses me about this outage is the people. people just were up in arms about having no power for electronic entertaining things, amongst other reasons. generally, everyone was forced to live in a vastly different way, which being unaccustomed to, was so alien and thus confusing. i was just amused at how frenetic people were about what they'd do to get through. rightly, there were legitimate concerns: hospitals and the ill at home depending on power, traffic lights, etc. i listened to AM radio quite a bit, and there were lots of calls being taken on air; people metioning how they never knew there so many stars over the city and surrounding suburbs. now THAT's amusing. stars are all over the nightsky, everywhere, despite light pollution blocking most of them. then again, very few objects are actual stars... anyhow, back to subject at hand. apparently many people have been unaware of light poullution and what it affects.
