Yes, I say “y’all” (it’s nice to have a plural “you”), and I pronounce “Aunt” like “ant”. One thing I’ve never head that is on this meme is calling a grocery cart a buggy or a carriage.
So, I started my job at Master Packing yesterday (Monday). I actually enjoy doing the manual labor… much more than sitting in front of a terminal all day long listening to people give me incorrect instructions on how to access an AS400 file through FTP. My feet hurt (I’m not used to being [...]
So, as of today I am no longer jobless. I interviewed on Monday for a job at Master Packing for a job doing production type stuff and later on using my computer skills to help them out. Anyway, I’m really excited about this job. I start on Monday (bright and early).
Well, my brothers and I drove down to Iowa City last night for the Zao concert, but both Zao and The Agony Scene dropped off at the last minute. Turns out that the drummer for Zao has the flu really bad, and I would guess that’s what’s up with TAS as well. I [...]

My wife rocks! I just found out from my brother that Zao is in Iowa City at Gabe’s Oasis tonite. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since my roommate introduced them to me in college. I have seen them before, but the lead singer, Dan Weyandt, and one of [...]
We got our pictures of our wedding in the mail a couple of days ago and I’ve been lazy and haven’t gotten around to adding them here. I haven’t edited them much, but there are a couple of awesome ones. Take a look:Wedding Pictures
John Fleck: I agree that I shouldn’t speed, but I was trying to get to class. Yes, I know I should have left earlier, but I will accept the consequences if I get caught speeding. And no, I don’t think it’s my right to drive drunk; I think it’s retarded.
Also, I would like [...]
