Back to basics again

Well, I decided to play around with this blog again instead of using the iWeb site. Really, what it comes down to is just a lack of default blog styling that I feel comfortable with. So, I still have this old template that I created for blogger and I think I'm going to ride it for a while.

I simply have more flexibility with this format than what I have with iWeb. Let's keep in mind that iWeb is a young application. I was introduced to the iLife suite as part of iLife '06 and is still very much a work in progress. Judging from what Apple has done in programs such as Pages, Keynote, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, and even the new version of Mail that's coming in Leopard, I'm sure iWeb is a application with a promising future. If that holds true, I'll probably move to it for purposes of hosting a home page. It just doesn't support what I want right now, entirely.

As far as what to expect from this version of my home page, I'm not going to promise anything. However, I do hope to get some music reviews and sports rants on here among other things. I know this post probably wasn't overly exciting to most of you, so, I'll try to make it so in future posts.

Until then...

Random notes for April 17

Just thought I'd type something here since I haven't done so in a while.

First, I'd like to draw your attention to the new Music blog. If you're thinking to yourself "this music blog must be about music", you're right!!! I'm looking to do some things on there such as break down my weekly top 10 playlist for the week, post some reviews on new albums I get ahold of, and just talk about the state of the industry in general.

As far as my life goes, I'm really looking forward to getting my next student loan check. I'm to the point where I'm either in class or at work every day, so, I have no days off. It's too the point where I'm frequently fighting off migraines and tension headaches, which makes it hard to concentrate on my classwork. So, when I get that check, I'm going to tell my boss that I'm no long available on Saturdays. That's the beauty of being part time.

As far as my classes go, there's nothing much to report on as things have gone slowly. My composition class has been interesting, however. I think it's already had an effect on my writing skills. It's also forcing me to think about things that maybe I wouldn't normally think about. Hopefully some of the work I come up with will be good enough to share on here, so look for that.

Other than that not too much else to talk about.

Back into the rat race

Back to the grind for me. I started classes again on Wednesday. I'm expecting this to be a fairly challenging quarter for me as I start my day taking two classes at once with Page Layout II and Illustration I where I'm taking the Illustration as an independent course. From there, I have a lunch breaks and then I move on to Composition I. I usually don't prefer to be in any of my general education classes, which the Composition is, since I'm usually out of my own element in the Mac labs creating web pages or whatever. I'm also not a fan of writing, even if it'll end up being typed up. My creative mind don't thrive in that area.

Anyway, I've been on the wild chase trying to get books before they run out as well as trying to find a copy of Microsoft Office for the Mac. I already have Office on the PC that I've given to my mom, but, I absolutely hate the keyboard on that computer. Not to mention I hate that computer in general after dealing with the quiet smoothness of my Mac.

So, be on the lookout as I'll probably be posting my doings in those classes on here.

It's Supposed to be Spring

This was supposed to be the first full day of spring. However, as I type this, it's currently 31 degrees and there's an 11 inch blanket of snow on the ground. The sidewalks suck... the roads suck... and I'm getting a little stir crazy since I don't really feel like being out in the stuff.

Word is there's still more to come. All of this after we had a pretty much calm winter where the temps were much higher than normal and there was very little snow or ice to speak of. Fairly rare for Nebraska as I know it.

It seems kind of weird hearing the tornado sirens go off in their testing rounds with all this snow and cold air outside. At least I don't have to work today or anything.

Still, it's days like this where I'm bored no matter what. I don't like having weekdays off in the first place. Makes it worse when you can't even go anywhere. The grey skies kinda make you drag, then the boredom makes it worse. So, I'm not exactly full of energy.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

Back for the first time

I finally decided to start paying attention to my blogs now that I'm finished with school for the quarter.

The past couple months have been a stressful and tiring time for me, so, that would explain a lot of why I haven't been writing much.

Anyway, look for a little more from me. Take note that I've decided to have separate blogs for life, sports, and music. The links for each of those are on the sidebar.
