It is 3:48 AM on Saturday, January 20th 2018. I woke up around 3:00 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep so why not get some things accomplished in the quiet, still morning? I’ve had a nasty cold for the past two weeks and so haven’t gone to karate class. Our Shihan never asks where…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.20.2017

Zelda – Breath of the Wild
I had always wanted to play Zelda ever since the the very first one came out in 1987. First there was Atari, which I remember playing from my earliest memories. One of my favorite memories in fact was going over to my older neighbor Kevin Heinzenberger’s house and we played Joust together in his room…… Continue reading Zelda – Breath of the Wild

Monotheistic religion is a plagiarism of a plagiarism of a hearsay of a hearsay, of an illusion of an illusion, extending all the way back to a fabrication of a few non-events." Christopher Hitchens
Lapham’s Quarterly – Fear

It is not that reading this edition made me afraid; it is that it called…… Continue reading Lapham’s Quarterly – Fear

After about a month, our garage door now properly lifts by the garage door opener. Also, I now know much more about how garage doors function as well as how to put together a garage door opener. I guess I should start about 5 months ago when I came home, pressed the button to open…… Continue reading The Saga of the Garage Door

At the moment I’m sitting in my shed/office/clubhouse where it is toast warm with my space heater on high while outside it is a cold, damp, foggy mess. It rained all yesterday and last night but now only the gray weather remains with no…… Continue reading Journal Entry 1.9.2017
Dhammapada

If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship wtih…… Continue reading Dhammapada
Journal Entry – 1.3.2018
It is 11:06 AM on January 3rd, 2018; we’re three days into the new year. Today was the first day I had to sit down and really get some work done. There still isn’t very much going on as many are still on vacation but I had some reports to complete and a few loose…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 1.3.2018
