While I was feeding my belly at my parents for Thanksgiving, a good friend of my Jason Dunn posted about a friend of his that is going through some bad times. I normally don’t post calls for voting help in contests and such, but Crystal’s story is tragic and I thought it would be in [...]

A Little Unexpected Downtime, again

This time for great reasons.

Considering a Career Change

I am not too sure what the job market is like out there, but I am ready for big changes in my life. Maybe just pick it all up and move away. This could mean the end of my online presence, but I really feel like I need to make some changes in my life. I [...]

Brett is almost a Brown Belt

He tested for brown belt tonight and if he was successful, which didn’t see why not, he will get his brown belt with 3 academic stars Tuesday night. We left testing and headed strait to Coleman Coliseum for the Alabama vs. Troy basketball game. Alabama looked rusty but won 84-72. Sophmore Justin Tubbs had a breakaway [...]
