Life never ceases to amaze me. I seem to appreciate the moonlight
much more than i used to. Every night I find myself stopping to
gaze up at the bright circle, fathoming all that may be out there. |

My goD! These classes just get better by the day in terms of the
amount of work you have to get done with! At least with all this
crap I've been working on, my typing speed has increased exponentially.
I now prefer doing my homework on the PC so my professors don't
find out how shitty my handwriting is. |

If I was not locked into Graduate School before, I sure as hell am
now! once this last payment is made to EMU for this semester's hell/class
work, I'll be BROKE! At last to be back where I started with nothing,
at least monetarily wise. - Thanks buddy, talking to you always puts a smile on my face and that warm-fuzzy feeling in my heart. Hope to see you in person again soon! Mmm, exhibitionists! |

More fun as I get into my first Graduate level Marketing class. This
one definitely AINT gonna be easy. I find myself rather out of place
with classes filled with students who probably make twice to three
times as much as I do. When I think about it though, most seem to
want to get into business to earn their own personal fortunes...A
rather obvious end to the corporate ladder. I myself still wish to
maintain some connection to the arts with what I do in life. What
is it about money which drives the motivation of so many? My guess
is that we have it in our collective cultural mind that there is no
better way towards true happiness than to earn lots of cash and have
nice things. Even on television or in the cinema, you are mostly presented
with those who are already on top. With examples like those it is
difficult to see being happy any other way. What ever happened to
having a more practical view on life? Why does money have to become
the vehicle to a happy future? - Thinking of women differently nowadays. When I ponder about it, I see I've had a rather undeveloped view on them for most of my life. A few examples recently have reminded me of how women are people just as much as anyone else, they can be my friends. I know to many of you this is no substantial revelation, but to me this is an effort to change a point of view which has been with me pretty much from the beginning. Interestingly enough, my first friend as a child was a girl. I can remember back then it never mattered. Now, with hormones rushing, it is hard to look at women in the same way I did all those years ago. Kids really do have the right way to look at some things. Some of you are probably shaking your heads right about now, but hey, at least I'm trying. A person who makes a genuine effort to change their point of view at least deserves more respect than the person who never gives it a go. - In terms of updates, it has become pretty clear to me that I will have little time for anything to do with this page other than to keep putting journal entries up until this semester is over. If you like what you read, or if you have some criticism, Mail Me! Let me know that you read this shite! |

Got some of the fun things out of the way today. At least my accounting
class is not seeming so hard...Yet. They always make things seem easy
when you begin then make things auful hard later on. I can say one
thing positive: At least the instructor was there ON TIME! Four years
have I endured teachers being late to class, hopefuly my grad classes
will be different. - What is it about ID photos that makes them look so shitty? I think we are all doomed to suffer piss poor ID photos for eternity. In 200 years we'll still be getting the same pics at the DMV. |

| - Was looking around the web this morn and I saw this picture for American Idol, yet another kockoff of a British television show. What was troubling me was that I could not determine, with any certainty, weather the one on the right was female or not. What are we doing here America? |  |

Every time I sit down to write, I always seem to lose what great
ideas I’ve cooked up. Something tells me that I need to jot
these little gems down as I get them. Don’t you just hate
it when you forget that cool dream you had the night before? I must
be getting old. ;0) |

Recognition is nice, but money is better! I got another shirt for
an idea at work, I want a raise next time! - Forward mobility is important. I am keeping all my plans in motion even while my primary focus may change from time to time. Never lose track of anything you want to accomplish, to me it seems that is how some of us could be left very unhappy later in life. |

| - I sat at a railroad crossing in Monroe early this morning, as the train slowly wound it's way past my view, I found myself transfixed at each car on the track. Its funny how simple things like a song on the radio, a beautiful sunset, or in this case, a long cargo train can get you thinking on what direction your life is heading in. Each passing car was another line in a poem I've since lost the words for, but not the idea. At least what matters most, after the words have passed, the impression every moment leaves upon your soul endures as memory fades. | |

Working entirely too frggin' late as of recent. With the Fall semester
coming up fast now, I find myself screaming with fear at the prospect
of taking graduate level courses. Tackling Accounting and Marketing
will, at the very least, be educational if not one of the greatest
challenges of my academic career. |

Happy birthday...to me that is! - Not too much in terms of updates for the last four days because, well, I'm friggin busy! Getting this Game Center off the ground is not all fun and (ironically) games! As I am finding out, many software companies only have one person in charge of licensing their games for commercial use. |

- Wakeboarding out at Ken's was fun as usual, even more so since I got a chance to get out on the tube, an activity I've not done in years. Last week Paul (one of the guys who I board with every week), snapped some pics of me. This example to your right is my ill-fated 360 attempt. The pain took a few days to subside from that one. So close, yet so very far indeed. Click the thumbnail to experience the agony of defeat! |

Its funny to realize you've been running so long and developing
in a certain way that you've left others in the dust. As a teenager,
I could be relied upon for very little, now I am often relied upon
to keep things together. How some people of my past would smile
if they ever knew ;0) Mrs. Walters would be one of those ;0) At
least no one can deny I am very organized. |

I still debate as to what to put down here when I write my daily entries.
I may not want to get TOO personal, considering god knows who may
look at this site, but I do like to keep my friends updated. I'll
probably just keep feeling things out like I always have - Did the gaming thing last night with some friends in Ann Arbor. Being the geeks we are, a Star Wars game was on the agenda and we played until at least 4:30 this morning! I'm not sure how much more of those I can take, after a while you start to feel like you should be doing something more productive. Still, I like the games and probably always will, but there are just too many things to get done, people to see, and places to go. Only in moderation can anything truly be appreciated. Taking to much of one thing only takes the luster away. - Anyhow, I have to jet for now. Running on 11 PM here, a friend has just asked me to come over...To Ypsilanti...I have a feeling he needs to talk. ;0) Later all! |

Just got a rather annoying update from "BeSeen", the company
providing my free and soon to be non-existant counter. They say that
due to the expense of providing a free counter, they will be discontinuing
their services. This reminds me of a little known company called Microsoft
when they chose to no longer support POP mail over their acquired
Hotmail service. A trend that even the most profitable companies seem
to be taking is to charge for services which should very well be free!
Using Hotmail to compile all my e-mail accounts into a site easily
accessible around the world was great, but now i have to pay umpteen
dollars a month for the same thing I've been doing for the last five
years with Hotmail. After receiving notice from Microsatan informing
me my POP service was no longer available, I did the only thing I
could think of, sign up for Yahoo! mail. They charge for some of the
same services (if you can really call them that) that Microsoft does
with one exception: They provide POP mail access for free! |

| - Got some more updates in t! I've added a dew more song from my collection as well as made the layout a little more aesthetic. | |

Fun times at work with customers expecting the royal treatment without
a receipt. How can you expect no hassle when you try to return something
with no proof you ever bought it? - The moon was a red crescent. Just thought I'd mention that. ;0) - This whole Game Center thing is weighing on my mind as plans start to form more solidly. Still, much needs to be done and worked out. I am comforted that others seem to think this will work. - Getting close to 23 years of age! What is strange about that is how little I've thought of birthdays over the last few years. Maybe Mother was right, birthdays start to lose their meaning after 21. I'd like to think of each year as a precious gift since so many have lost their lives or loved ones in the last year. So, I'll probably celebrate with my family this year, as has become my treasured custom. Spending time with family is important. With Kerry getting married, my parents moving up North, and me not knowing if I'll even be in the country in another year, I find myself taking opportunities to spend time with them I never would have done so as a younger man. Others may think these comments to be elementary, but for this Navarre its a new revelation. Others just seem to have that family built in while most must develop these bonds over time. Who is to say what way is better? At least I can say I found something with my parents before they leave. Ok, I've been typing for entirely too long, digest that anl if you have a comment. |

Just a thought: Hope is fleeting, prayer is uncertain, but belief
in myself holds constant... - Those cheeky bastards at EMU's finance department have been a little less than diligent about sending me a letter regarding my admission to grad school, but are extremely efficient in making sure I have a $500 dollar tuition bill waiting for me upon my arrival at home...GO GREEN! - Tonight was a starry night. I took pause long enough on the walk from the car into the house to ponder the millions of others who were looking up at the same sky. For once in my life I felt something of a connection with my fellow men. As I reached this elevated state of spirituality, my bubble was broken by my Mother and Father who were laying quietly in a trailer on the driveway in wait for me. Needless to say, I was scared shitless! |

Playing Super Mario All-Stars was a great way to kill time (and brain
cells) while waiting for the sun to rise. Only then, upon seeing the
sun crest over the horizon, was I able to get some rest. With a hangover
from Michael's birthday get-together last night, I awoke on the couch
at 10:30 AM only to find I was the first person to wake in the entire
household. - Piloting a boat without a licence is fun! I terrorized the residents of Portage lake as my Father and I took to the water in his newly re-built boat. I found my mother to be strange in the way she likes to fish, yet hates riding on a boat...Go figure ;0) - Ideas are flying for this Game Center/Internet Cafe' idea as I discover this dream may indeed become a reality before year's end. Just the thought of it is enough to terrify me and those potentially involved as we asses the risks which of us will be taking. |

| - Tuesday is quickly becoming my water sports day here in Michigan. Even after four years of absence from wake boarding, I've managed to pick it up quickly again. It would seem that I've managed to sprain my foot while attempting a 360 on one of my last runs. Being out in the water is a relaxing change of pace from being on land. Floating on the boat staring up at a bright blue sky bestows an almost blissful feeling, like not having a care in the world as long as your out there. Its almost like another world out on the water. | |
