I'm F.I.N.E., Really!
So, this weekend, my brother and I are going to hike 30 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I'm really excited about it. We've been planning this for about a month now. I'm just a little scared. I've never done that in 2.5 days before. This is gonna be big. I'm really going to enjoy it. I'm crazy. So is my brother. And that's why we are so cool.
Other Stuff...
I feel needed again. Someone had some tech/spec questions about some laptops, so I'm checking out details and compatibility of different parts for the possibility of merging the two systems. I love Dell's service tag system. Everything about a laptop at the touch of a few buttons.
James and I go to check a smaller apartment (2 bed) today where we applied and put down for a 3 bedroom apartment last week. Can't find a third person to go in with though, so we may have to get a smaller one to save some money. I'm really looking forward to having "a place."
My Great Aunt Hilda is not doing well at all. I need to go visit her and her sister (also not doing well) in Florida. I was gonna go with Dana and Mom as they drive all over creation for Dana's NIVS deputation, but that isn't a good schedule for me right now, so I'm gonna make my own trip down there. It's getting to be about Aunt Hilda's time (they're in their 90's), but I still don't want to see them go. Stupid sin entering the world...
So, I'm a little busy. Pray that I get things sorted out soon.

Line - (re)Flec(tor) - Line - Flec - Line - Flec
This weekend I helped a friend get her new car from her parents' house. Congrats, Amber . It's a great first car. So, the title is me keeping myself awake. For the first few miles you admire the corn fields (untill you realize there are 5 more hours of them). Then you read signs for a while untill it starts pouring down rain. Then you do everything you can to keep from getting in an accident. Like drink lots of coffee!!!!
It was nice to get away and not play WoW or do anything like that. I think I'm gonna get my main up to 60, my alt to 30+ and sell it. I just want to do something else. I love gaming, but I'd just rather hang out with people. I'm sure James (my business partner on our server) and I will work something out.
So, honesty still sucks, but its better than lying to people all the time (remembers personal experience). One of these days, my life will be closer to what I want it to be. Until then, I need to figure out how to be happy with what I do have. What a month.

Things To Do Today
It really helps to set a medium length list of things to do in a day's time (including both work and pleasure, required and optional things). Today I needed to do a lot of chores, so after helping James move some stuff into a storage unit and coming back for lunch (ok, so I stayed up till 04:00 central again), I saw him off for a week helping with youth camp and started in on my list. I got laundry started, the dishes are in the washer, the front yard is mowed, business phone calls were made (and during business hours, I might add - times to do some things also help), and now I'm off to spend a gift card at the book store before I work out. I also fit in half a level on my main character on WoW. I have about half of tomorrow lined up already (depending on just how much time I spend on web stuff). Tomorrow night I also plan to head to the gym and work out again. This not having a job bit is really starting to be nice (now that I've adjusted to the idea and am not stressing out as much because we almost have an apartment and more people have been offering job opportunities and freelance work). What can I say? I worry a lot. I care.
Roll on over to www.winsinger.com for the latest in my update/finishing touches. I should have a draft of my bio and professional info up tomorrow evening.
Call me if you want to go rock climbing tomorrow or any time in the next few months. I'll be glad to take turns on the wall with you!
In Christ,

Websites
So I do web development, graphics, and some photography on the side. I'm setting up a website and it's mostly gonna be a personal info site. I'm gonna put it on resumes and have it on my business cards. The thing is I want to break most of the traditional rules for making websites in order to do what I want to. And on top of that, IE sucks. Everyone should download Mozilla FireFox browser (it's free, follows w3c rules - the people who wrote the internet standards, and it works right). I'm probably gonna keep some of the things I want to about the site and other rules just follow just 'cuz. I wanna make this mad awesome site, but no one seems to have the same taste that I do. Back to the drawing board...
BTW, check it out at http://www.winsinger.com and tell me what you think. I'll be changing the design for the next month I'm sure, so keep checking back and letting me know what you think of the latest version.
Until next time, it's everyone's favorite Gnome killer, signing off.

Haven't Done That in a While...
I pulled an all nighter last night. I'm working on websites for myself and other people, and sometimes when you get going and get the momentum built up, you can't help but keep cracking. It has been a long time since I've seen the sun come up. I saw it today. I'm at the point where I'm about to crash, but I'm gonna keep pushing until I absolutely have to quit. I really like how much I've gotten done on my site. It's a great feeling.
I also hopped on WoW with the usual friends. I got a half level on my low character (enough to hit 12). We're gonna run our mains sometime today if we have time.
I love being in the zone. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, but when I hit that zone and things start clicking, I can crank out a lot of work really fast. I love it.
