Another year has passed, and I can safely say that 2011 ended up being one of the best, and the worst years on record. It ended with a good bang for sure, and the last week of December was amazing. I always start to wonder about resolutions though, and why people pick the end of the year to actually make them. I tend to make resolutions on a rolling basis, not stack them all up together to attempt in one fell swoop. Tackling a fistful of resolutions at once is a recipe for disaster in my opinion...

To all my NYC friends, I've made the tough decision not to return. I don't know all of your email addresses, so I apologize for the blanket Blog/FB update. There's just been a series of events that are making it no longer an option for me. I will visit soon though after the dust from the holidays settles. You have all touched my life in ways that I will never forget. It was an amazing experience, but I realize now I was doing a lot of things for the wrong reasons, and I need to spend...

It took me a couple of tries to get the new Windows Live beta package installed on my machine; the secret fix for me was to enable the Windows Firewall service (I disable it since I’m behind other firewalls), so if your install is failing, turn on the Firewall service.

Just a short blurb: I’m going in for a very routine procedure tomorrow to have my gallbladder removed. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Cholecystitis, and the pain over the past 2 weeks has been pretty bad at times. The surgery itself was scheduled over a week ago, so just waiting around for tomorrow to come has been the hard part. The procedure itself takes less than an hour, and carries virtually no risk of complications. The human body gets on just fine without a gallbladder…its only real purpose...

Spring semester at UNCC has gotten off to a roaring start; I can’t believe it’s already been 6 weeks. I had to do some schedule adjusting…trust me, my course load is not to be envied at 16 hours: General Chemistry 2 (with lab), General Biology 2 (with lab), Calculus, Japanese, and I’m TA’ing for a deductive logic professor. The labs are what absolutely kill me each week since they are three classroom hours + lab reports + quizzes, exams, and papers…all for one...
