Hey all.  It's been nearly a month since I've last posted and for that I'm sorry.  So, how's everyone been? 

Since my last entry I've shaved my beard and moustache and was astonished by how different it made me look.  Some people literally didn't recognize me.  It was rather fun, truth be told. 

We have a baby goat now.  I can now state, definitively and from experience, that there is nothing in nature so comical as a baby goat.  I can also say that there is nothing quite as hard to keep penned up as that, either.  Trust me kiddies, it's nigh unto impossible. 

I look at the time and realize that I'm quite hungry.  I will see y'all later.  I am going to get some food.  Until next time.

Hey all.  Quick poll:  Should I shave my beard?

Hello all.  Short post today. 

First of all, thanks for the replies to my last post.  They were much appreciated. 

Second, as evidenced by this post I am not dead, nor am I in the hospital, despite what some rumors may say*.  I am in good health and am currently at SSCC, not DCH or UAB. 

Third, how is everyone?  It has been a while since I last posted, but that's just been from me being busy with school, work, church, etc.  I've tried reading some of the backlog but there was just too much. 

Ok, that's all I can post for now.  I'll see y'all later.

*This may, and probably will, change in the future.

Hey all.  I just went back and looked at some of my old xanga entries and I've come to the conclusion that I babble a lot.  Most of my posts just seem to be stream of consciousness, y'know, whatever pops into mind. 

This post is no different. 

Anyways, today I didn't have to go to work due to the rain so I went over to Shelton to play online and do a bit of biology.  There I watched the rain taper off around 8:30 or so and I saw Tyler Bowers, whom I didn't expect to see, as well as Chris Wood and Ben Cole. 

Here's a request for all of you:  Describe me, if you would.  I'm curious as to how I come across to people, though I'm not sure why.  Chalk it up to randomness, I suppose.  But anyways, how do I appear to y'all? 

Ah well, I guess that's all for now.  Later, froods.

Hey all.  How is it?  I just took my first macroeconomics test today.  It was pretty easy; forty multiple choice on a scantron.  Not bad at all.  I know I did pretty well on it and even if I didn't, the grades are scaled, lucky me. 

Fencing went pretty well today.  I won one, lost one; the usual bit.  Tonight the doc starts night classes for W nights.  I'll  probably try to attend every other one, starting in a week.  I'd go every week but, as some of you know, I help out with middle school at church and do power point on W nights.  This should be a good compromise though.  It'll change up my week and help me with my fencing, as well as keep me from burning out at church. 

Here's a bit of what I heard and saw today during fencing:

  "Fencers ready?  En garde, ready, fence!" and then, advance, forward crossover, advance, lunge, recover, parry quarte, riposte.  "Halt!  Priority attack, parry, riposte, touch.  Score is 1-0." 

That's much more fun to do than it is to type.  Trust me.  The plastrons, jackets, lames, and masks are hot as blazes, but that's okay. 

OK, that's all for now.  Later.
