Living here in Huntsvegas has given me a new prospective on the weather. In other towns that I have lived in (Atlanta, Ashville, Athens – the implications) there was not nearly the amount of thunderstorms that I see here. Over in Atlanta and Athens I did see the occasional thunderstorm, but I believe the biggest difference comes from the prospective. Here I can see the storm’s rapid approach and menacing darkness. My former homes had plenty of trees and other such shrubbery that obscured my view of the horizon.

With respect to a post on g’chick by Will, I began to truly contemplate goals that I have set for mysef in life. I know that there are a lot of things that I have expressed the wish to learn more about or do, but I never really thought about a set list of things that could be considered goals. So, here’s my try at putting together a list of goals that I’ve really had for a while, but never classified them as goals.
1. Graduate cum laude with a degree in Computer Engineering (Hopefully completed in 1.5 more years)
2. Design and build my own house that is the ultimate geek estate (Sometime in the future, not sure when)
3. Buy a J-22 or J-24 one of these days to sail with a crew. Also, own a smaller Sunfish or Thistle to sail by myself. (Sometime after the house)
4. Learn to scuba dive and go diving in the Great Barrier Reef (hopefully, in the near future)
5. Build my own computer (I’m not talking about just plugging boards into a case. I’m talking about actually soldering all of the chips onto the boards and then plugging them into the case.)
6. Take the Orient Express (Whenever I can afford it)
7. Get my grandfather’s old ‘63 Buick Riviera and completely restore it (It’s not a fancy car, but it’s got major sentimental value; I doubt I’ll be able to get my hands on this anytime before my father dies)
8. Finish visiting all 50 states (I’ve got 38 down, just 12 more to go)
9. The ability to look back on my life when I’m old and not regret the choices that I made in life.

Ahhhhhh, finally my own little place to post my blatherings. I will try to be as prolific in terms of writing as my time will allow. For the moment things are still being updated on here so please bear with me about getting some of the content filled out. I just wanted to say welcome and be afraid….
