Finally got my grad application into EMU and I should be finding
out weather I get in for my classes in the next week or so. I am
confident things will work out in my favor on this manner. At least
once this is done I can call myself a Graduate student ;0)
- I met with some old friends today and it got me reflecting on
how far we all have come since my dreaded days as Dexter High School.
Hearing about what has happened to some of my old classmates, some
spent time in Yale, others in jail, and others (worst of all in
my opinion) have done little with their lives. Learning of the fate
of these kids i grew up with is another driving force to keep me
going. Maybe I will go to my ten-year reunion...Maybe not! |

On your right, you'll see the crest for McDonald of Clanranald. This
little pic was taken directly from the Clanranald
Trust for Scotland web page. These are the bunch of rough-and-tumble
blokes I trained with while living in Scotland. You can get a hold
of all types of things on their site. From weapons to clothing, it's
all there! News is updated frequently (So I am told) providing up
to date information on upcoming Clan events. Well worth checking out!
Clanranald's purpose is to keep Scottish tradition and heritage alive
through education outreach. A unique charity in that many members
are well trained in one martial art or another |

Got some photos up on the Photo
Main Page. Now most of the little thumbnails lead to actual photos!
Hey, this is exciting for me ;0) |

Writing is what helps me get through those tough times. You ever notice
when you put it all down on paper and really look at it, things are
not as bad as they may seem. |

Since preparing for the GRE is on my list of things to do, I've added
a link to one of the many sites dedicated to helping a prospective
student prepare. Click the button to try your hand on a GRE question

Feeling rather satisfied with my work on this page. It is becoming
what I intended, a resource for people to keep updated on my life,
and also a fun, creative outlet for my many pursuits.
- More to look at in and among the Interesting
Tidbits!
New pics and new links grace the page!
- Got the rest of the Scroll bars done and over with. Now each page
has a matching bar for it's own color scheme!
- More applying for jobs. I've sent out so many
résumés and filled out so many forms that I may never
want to see another application in my entire life! Searching for a
job in this day and age is a kind of soul-draining experience...That
is for those of us who do not have a degree from a Ivy League university.
To solve this problem, I intend to apply to Yale ASAP. ;0) |

Got some work done in the Picture
Gallery section as well as started the Interesting
Tidbits. Now there are actually links there to look at!
- And if you look to your right...You'll notice that this page now
has a colored scroll bar! I've been dying to figure out how to do
that and now I have. I can die in peace ;0) I'll probably do others
to match the coloring on the rest of the site, but not today.
- Ok, so I did get around to some of the scroll bars after all. I
think they look rather nice!
- Some days are harder than others. You ever
get that feeling like you're not moving anywhere? When that happens
to me, I simply remind myself that I've been around the planet over
the last year. That usually suffices. Thanks to all those who kept
in contact, it helped me through those lonely patches. |

Today turned out to be much in terms of getting things done. It
now appears as though I' shall now be a student of EMU's graduate
school! Even though this is only to get some transfer credits for
the University of my choice, it does mark the beginning of my MFA.
- Doing a web page is no small task! Getting all my stuff online
is gonna take some major time. On the bright side, I made progress
on the "In Months Past"
section, so check it out if you have time! |

So sue me, I never got around to working on this page for a year!
What can I say? I've been extremely busy! My travels have seen me
around the world and back. Now that I am home for a while, I'm taking
stock of my life and even considering graduate school! If you see
this and I've yet to get in contact with you, look me up!
