The Holy Bible + AC/DC Box Set. Fits in the box almost TOO well.
This and that…
Normally, in the morning I would get up and read FoxNews on the computer. It’s getting to the point that it was depressing hearing all the bad.
Here a while back I stumbled upon a news website (sort of news) that puts a little spin on things. You’ll have to check it out. Now when I read it I can actually chuckle a bit. Tell me what you think…

The new job…
It’s going to be a busy two weeks ahead. June 11th will be my last day at Platinum Broadcasting. June 12th we’ll move as much as we can to the new place and June 13th is the Wedding Rehersal and then the big day! THEN start the new job on the following Monday!
Which is….Afternoon DJ for Star 107.9 in Great Bend, KS. I’m pretty happy about it honestly. I wasn’t so sure I even wanted to stay in radio for several reasons, but mostly the sour taste in my mouth from my current company. I applied for some computer related positions but only had one real opportunity, and that seems to have dried up. But all in all, I still enjoy radio. It’s a fun job that not a lot of people can say they’ve done, and while the pay isn’t spectacular, pay isn’t everything.
We’re looking for a place in Great Bend now and Andrea’s looking for a job down there. Still a lot of uncertianty, but it feels like a weight has been lifted! I just kept praying to God, asking him to open the door he wanted me to walk through, and this feels right. Now I just hope he remembers to find me a place to live!
Yay, B.L.!
Looks like Bobby did pretty good in the 600 this weekend! Did you watch? Not too darn bad for being a couple of laps down earlier in the race!
Any time Carl and Bobby beat Harvick and Stewart it’s a GOOD RACE! Ha Ha

WiiWare brings you…Beer Pong?
It’s true. You’ll soon be able to play Beer Pong on your Wii. Just incase you don’t have access to ping pong balls…or beer. It’s all the fun of REAL Beer Pong without all the pesky drinking.
05.16.08Still around…
Sorry, just haven’t been in the mood to write lately. I’ve been in a weird funk. I think just too much going on at once. I’m looking forward to July! At least 75% of my major problems will be solved (or too late to do anything about) by then.
I have had things I want to write about, but the mind just hasn’t been working, and the words haven’t been coming so easily lately. I want to get my Star Fox 64 re-review up and going. And a few observations on people and daily life. So the thoughts are still churning, just gotta figure out a way to get ’em out!
I’m heading down to Wichita this weekend. So I’ll likely be away from the computer for the duration. Hopefully it will be a nice get away and I can come home refreshed and ready to face the world.
Strike One
Got my rejection letter from the FSA yesterday. Apparently the interview DID go better for someone else, ha ha!
Still kind of excited had a good phone interview the other day for a tech job down around Wichita. Gotta harass ’em until I get a live interview. It’d be right up my alley and quite a bit more money, so I’m hopeful for that.
Also have a phone interview with a radio station in Great Bend tomorrow at 9:00 am. Don’t really want to just make a side move, but I am getting desparate to get out of here!
I’m also exploring to options of finding a better job in the Manhattan area. Andrea got a new job here Saturday that pays a bit better and has better benefits. We’ll just look at all the opportunity we have an try to pick the best.
Keep prayin’!
Scored another interview.
With a different company. I applied with a hospital doing tech work there and got a call today to set up a phone interview. Kewl. They said they’re looking to fill positions in Wichita, Hutch and McPherson. We’ll see what happens!
Returned from the wild west.
Welp. Had a pretty good trip. Job interview went well from what I could tell. Hopefully it didn’t go even better for somebody else.
Stopped by the old dealership. Gagnon Motors, not in business anymore. But I did get to catch the owner Mr. Gagnon himself! He actually remembered the car when I threw out the name of the guy that bought it. Even remembered what color it used to be! Pretty cool.
Said they stopped selling GM in 2000 and after a fire in 2002, he just salvaged what he could and uses it for his own shop. Had a good time talking to him, and he seemed to enjoy seeing the car and talking about the old days.
For me it was kinda cool to see the car come full circle. Not too many cars go 230,000 miles and make it back to where they were sold after 23 years. I bet when he sold this car in 1985 he didn’t expect it to outlast the dealership. 🙁
While I was out in BFE, I drove out to castle rock. Take I-70 to the middle of nowhere, then head 14 miles south down a dirt road and you find Castle Rock. Saw a sign for it while I was enjoying some DQ in Quinter, KS and had some time to kill so I figured what the hell.
So I guess even if I don’t get the job, I at least had an enjoyable day off.
