...Too Quiet

So things have been quiet for a while...too quiet.

Perhaps that means there is something epic in the works? Unlikely. Or is it?!

No, let's call it what it is: lazy. But even that's not it. It's not that I've been lazy. I've been distracted. There have already been several occasions where I've sat down to start writing something and then get distracted by something else. Only this tends to happen all the time. Or I sit there and stare at a blank page and wonder what to write. And then just start to type. Much like I've done here. Just rambling, searching for a topic, trying to avoid stupid, annoying, topics like politics. Which is even more difficult and annoying what with both parties having their conventions. Big parties that only make them both look stupider as they chant about how "we're better than the other party because of what we stand for and screw them we're not going to work with them on anything ever. Also screw the rest of America because we only care about ourselves." Dammit, here I go. Seriously though. As many opinions as I have on how much the politics of today is so beyond anything that we've ever seen in this country that's not what I want to turn this into.

Rather I would like to turn this to be a forum for the discussion of random topics. Topics such as the merits of various types of cheese and recipes for meat pie. Oddly enough in an effort to research various recipes of meat pies I found myself intensely desiring a steak and kidney pie. I might have to venture to the market one of these days and obtain some stake and kidneys and put them in a pie and eat it. I don't think I've ever had steak and kidney pie, but I feel as if it's something I will enjoy. Also beef heart. I've heard delicious, delicious things about beef heart. Though I imagine it's one of those things you have to be careful not to overcook or you'd end up better off munching on a shoe.

The quest continues for an engineering job. I could bore you more with how job searching is never awesome. But I won't. Rather I'll just say that the quest continues. Like I already did. Though I will add that I've started grad school. So far just a single class at CSU, but the hope is to maintain the appearance of relevance. It's actually fun. I finished my first homework assignment in five years the other day and that felt pretty awesome too. At the very least I'll (hopefully) be able to show academic improvement if/when I reapply to the Air Force in February, which I'm told is the next non-rated bored I'll be eligible for.

Actually you know what's been pissing me off recently? This damn layout/color scheme/etc. I don't like it. But I don't know what to do about it. And I don't know how to pick a font. Seriously. I think I'm worse at picking out fonts then I am at picking out ties. And I have a hard time with ties. I realized Sunday getting dressed that I need a greater assortment of colors/patterns of ties to go with a greater assortment of shirts. Also I need more shirts. I'd really like to sit down and learn how to actually code a website, but it's been so long since I've even tried any of that I wouldn't know where to start. MySQL databases and pearl and crap like that that I've only heard other people talk about. Not sure I'll have any time this year so I'll have to stick to web tools and app things. But then again, with all the web tools and app stuff available these days is it even necessary to learn how to do the base stuff? I guess it depends on what you want to do. So I suppose I should figure that out first.

I need to get back into working out. I feel that will solve a lot of blah that I'm feeling right now. Actually school's helped with that because now I'm forced to study either for school or for the GRE which I'm taking wicked soon. Either way activity is probably a good thing. Though I do bike to class because parking around CSU (as it is in any city) is terrible. I actually was late to the first day of class and was about two minutes from giving up and trying again next semester when I finally came across a spot. Well, I probably would have just gone to the next class, but it was super annoying as I had gotten down there about 30 minutes early so I would have time. Now I bike.

So that's it. I'm done. This was officially the worst blog post I've posted thus far. You really should not have read it. Seriously. Go back an unread it. It's mindless dribble. And it's still going! You're still reading this! I know you are because you just read this! Seriously! Stop!

If it were just that we ended up mindless, would it even matter? How would we know to care?
