- This page is starting to become something I am really proud of. I worked very hard last night and things finally started to come together. Right now I need to focus on other things. I have the skeleton of the site up so that I may continue it's development in the UK. That is another thing, I need to find computer access over there so my updates may become weekly rather than daily. For all those who read this please bear with me and keep mailing! Your support has been very helpful and I want to give something for all of you to help keep track of me.
- More progress on the
Picture Gallery section. I have put up all the thumbnails of each photo I intend to post. Now all that remains is to post the full size photos.

- Progress is finally being made in terms of my Picture Gallery! Getting my first thumbnails up and uploading pictures as I type this. To the right is the first thing put up: A scan of my ID badge from work...I think I have had better ID pictures.
- Speaking of ID pics, I now have my international drivers license! That means I can break traffic laws and offend law enforcement in other countries! Anyone with knowledge of how to say "Bite me" in any European language, please e-mail me!
- Things are getting right down to the wire and people have to keep reminding me that I am leaving in less than four days. I am trying to make sure I can see everyone before I leave but I have this nagging fear that I will miss someone.

- In my dream, I drove a car without rust. It was shiny and new. There was also a house to go along with it. Looking over to the front door I see someone running towards me and I can't tell quite who it is. I dream like this constantly...What can it mean?

- Just got back from my first ever visit to Makinac Island and I must say that is one place I would like to see again. Even though it rained through the ENTIRE ceremony, seeing Ken and Lori wed was worth getting soaked over.
- Sometimes I wonder weather or not I'll be back in this state any time soon. Watching the trees and lakes and rivers made me think for the first time I might actually miss this place. The Northern part of the state is so much more beautiful than the southern part, fewer people, more trees, and cleaner water all contribute to that.
- Less than six days to go until that lovely plane ride. Ok, I am starting to get a tad nervous!

- Today was my last day at DTE Energy as an intern. Packing all of my things was a lonely experience since a Friday down at the corporate office reminds me of a fast day at an old folks home: You ship a few bodies out, but otherwise it's pretty uneventful.
- Ok, now that I am sure I offended someone out there in radioland, I am gonna run since I am off to see Ken DaLabel get married this weekend. The Jon Arbuckle of Pinkney finally gets hitched!

- So much has happened since the last time I have been able to do an update! It is hard to believe it has been a week already. First, I moved from my apartment. This was accomplished all in one day thanks to help from my friend Alan P. Burk (He is an actor looking for work...Then again, aren't we all?) Since I moved, my computer has been sitting in pieces for the whole week and there is only one computer containing a modem at my parent's house so the web page was on the back burner for a bit. I intend to make a little more headway tonight.
- Things are in a major tizzy in the Navarre Household at the moment. My mother (Carol to most of you) is even more frazzled than I am with getting all of my things in order. They have taken residence in a large pile in the middle of the living room. I kind of like the look of marble tile and excess junk don't you?
- I just had a thought and it is not a pleasent one: There is almost no way I can forsee where I can get all this web work done before I leave

- There was a sort of going away party for me tonight at my parent's house. Most everyone was there that I cared for and even though there were a few who could not make it, I appritiated all those who came. Thanks does not even begin to cover it.

- This was one of the "outtakes" I did while at IVP and it was just for fun...No matter how corny this sounds ;0) Enjoy! Download here! (file is in .wav format)

- Here is another sample of my voice-over material. This one is a big contrast to the one I posted yesterday. Download it here! Tell me what you think! Please, mail me with comments. (file is in .wav format)

- Getting done with my math final today was a sobering experience. Praying about just passing this one and as long as I do I can officially call my self a college graduate. Please, pray for me!!

- I got a hold of my first voice-over doing a monster truck promotion. Boy, does my sister do a great job! Download it here! (file is in .wav format)
- Standing in Quirk theater today, I saw an image of someone who I could only assume to be the boy I was four years ago the first time I set foot on the stage at EMU looking right out into the audience at me. He stuck me as a scrawny kid compared to what I have become, his posture was poor. I am not sure if I remember what he was all about any more. Thinking back on the last four years my time starts to divide itself into a series of small deaths and rebirths, only now am I starting to make sense of it all.

- Something tells me that the closer I get to stepping on that plane is one move closer towards a life from which I can never look back. Work is nice, but almost too comfortable and I long to see what is out there...There has to be something out there. Thinking in the car on the way home, the notion that there is such a big world out there hit me like a rock. I realized when I come back, IF I come back, I'll never view this place the same way.
