Some of you may find this interesting, and some of you may really not…

…but I’m editing a video right now that I’m actually somewhat interested in. It’s a short video about the first wind turbine built on a mountain in North America (It was constructed at the Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Massachusetts). I’ve been sorting through 15 or 16 hours of footage to put together a 7 to 10 minute piece that follows the planning and construction of the turbine. The video’s going to premiere at the ribbon-cutting a week from tomorrow (August 15th) in Massachusetts. …which may mean that I should be…working on it…instead of typing about it??

Here’s an article with pictures:

This morning I woke up with this sticker on my arm… Compliments of my 3 yr old.

Fabio the basketball-playing chicken

I’d like to meet the person who came up with this formula:

Chicken + Basketball + Long Hair = Great Sticker for Kids

Here is the scale for this sticker:

This coming Thursday will be 1 year since my dad died.

I need a hug.

Bi-Polar

Published by daniel myers March 26th, 2007 in general, friends and events. 3 Comments

I am bi-polar. I take medicine for it and it helps quite a bit. Yet, sometimes with or without it I can hit depressed and manic. Manic is great. I feel like I am on top of the world. I do not want to give up the manic state of mind. HEHE. Depressed, however, is abominably horrible. I could feel it coming on a week ago. That’s right, I can physically and mentally feel it coming. I have to prepare myself and be careful around others. I am fighting it now, it makes me physically ill. I get pains in my body and sometimes throw up. It’s hard to fight yourself. So yeah….right now, everything seems negative. All the good is in my life and I acknowledge it, but I just wanna run away still. I’m not enjoying the fatigue, pain, and loneliness that comes from it. Yes, I’m not alone…but I can’t sense and accept the other people at this time as I should be able to. Here are some thoughts:
1. Why am I even a Christian?
2. I’m useless.
3. I always seem to fail, why can’t I succeed?
4. Everyone else is so dumb, why can’t they just understand?
5. I wanna drink some alcohol and smoke some tobacco.
6. I wish I was someone else, somewhere else.
7. Why do girls still reject me?
8. Who am I really?
9. Do I have a real future or is it just gonna be a wall when I graduate?
10. What if my dad hurts more and I have to take care of the family?
11. Homework is so dumb.
12. I just wish they would all shut up.
13. Money, all the want is money and fame.
14. I don’t want to cry anymore
15. Why doesn’t God fix me…..why am I like this? I hate being me. But I love it too…
16. I’m almost done, I’ll be dead soon.
17. Really, why llamas?
18. I love my family and friends very much….maybe I’m just a hastle.

So these, among many others, are things I have to fight a lot. I need to get stuff out here. It helps me to feel much better to release. Please be praying for me. I’m tired right now.

Jesus still rox! That will not change, though the way I see things can be ascewed.

all the work waiting for you on the internet that you had no idea about

Published by randy dimmett October 23rd, 2006 in events. 0 Comments

1. Trying to rush completion of my vague 2006 goals at work.
2. Doing the website for my religious organization.
3. Watching mythbusters, smallville, the office, and lost.
4. getting back into taekwondo, mostly for my girl. as in the 3yr old.
5. trying to catch up with old friends online.

anyone ever think about all their different online usernames/passwords? all the databases you must be a part of? all the work you have not done on Flickr or myspace? whenever I do #5, i feel overwhelmed.

ha ha. i almost reordered my list so #5 would be #2, just to make that last statement funny.

Bachelor Party

Published by james wright November 9th, 2005 in events. 0 Comments

yeah, the date is December 16th, the day before Ryans wedding. (or, as we may refer to it in years to come: the date prior to “Ryans day of freaking out and running off with a Spanish man named Paulo”)
I have no clue what time the festivities will begin…cause uh…I’m bad at planning.
6pm seems good.
