Well alright.

Maybe I can pull this blog from the great beyond and back into existance.

A lot has happened in the year and almost a month since my last post, and to be honest, I cant remember 73 % of it. Let me go over the highlights.

June 1st, 2005 -- moved out of my parents house and into an apartment on the east side of Evansville with a few friends of mine. Everything here has been going great, more friends moved into both next doors -- you are never alone if you don't want to be. I believe this was a turning point in my life that caused me to grow up a little more quickly than I would have liked, but I believe it was for the better.


Sometime during winter, 2005 -- Saw the movie recreation of the musical RENT. I don't know what it was in me, but something like turning over an unturned stone in my mind occured and I saw people in a different light. Judgement and discrimination left my personality and I saw everyone as equals in this world. I thought I did before, but something changed and it really took effect. Thanks RENT for helping me see the light. I also listened to this movies soundtrack endlessly for a long time. It was very mellow and powerful at times and I liked it. Some say obsession, I say pure interest.


Sometime in January, 2006 -- A rediscovery. I found something again that I thought I did not want or need anymore. This was a "tool" in my new perseption of the world and of reality. Four people and the music they create opened my "third eye" and opened my mind up to all new experiences and thoughts that I had never before conceived. I had been using this "tool" before, but it never really had personal meaning until recently. By now, you should know that I am speaking of the band TOOL and its members Adam, Danny, Justin, and Maynard. Using their music and other materials of knowledge that their lyrics and meanings refer to, I am able to see this world under a whole new light. Thanks you guys for my new-found view of life and reality. Hopefully, if my posting bug continues, I plan to share my thoughts on this subject matter to help bring words to the images and thoughts in my head.


Of course, I have not fallen from the line of Computer Science as well. I have completed a few projects and have ideas in line for some new ones. The Army of Circus Midgets is one example -- need an explanation, ask me on AIM or something.

I hope this continues, beg me to keep writing. Any comments/suggestions are surely welcome. You can leave them here or feel free to talk to me on AIM -- Bates128. Hope to hear from you all soon.
