• Networking at Home – Thoughts from January 2, 2003

  

  That’s right, the date is 1/2/3 (or 01/02/03 if you want to be official about things). It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, and it’s another year. I am actually done paying off my consumer credit debt. Now we have to stop using the credit cards and start saving for the future. Good luck to…

• Hating my Job – Thoughts from October 1, 2002

  

  I begin again again. Yes, Mr. Grammar Checker, I meant to repeat the again again. I did it again. The question is, what did I begin again? I began the pursuit of the dream. I started several semesters ago attending The Animation Academy, pursuing the animation dream. Now, I’m going to get a job (on…

• Thoughts from April 8 and June 19, 2002

  

  April 8, 2002 This Thoughts paper should be much lighter in nature than my normal thoughts paper. This is mainly because I’m forcing myself to be lighter. Well, that didn’t last long. Actually, in my life right now there are several serious things going on. Luckily, only one serious thing is going on for me…

• Thoughts from January 8 and 11, 2002

  

  January 8, 2002 Well, I start my new class, Visual Development, this Thursday. This schedule should be easier than the last one on Monday nights. I have every other Friday off and I don’t have to get to work as early on the Fridays I work. We also recently got Annual Passes to Disneyland and…

• Thoughts from September 7, 2001

  

  I have a headache right now. I had a bunch of carrots at lunch and now I have a headache. Coincidence? I think not! I don’t really know what the carrots could have done to me, but my head and eyes hurt. Does this mean too much of a good thing is too much of…
