Life, I don't mean the state in which something is alive but more the goin's on around an individual. This isn't a journel nor is it really anyones business, but the traffic here is slow so I'll post somethin' now an' again here to keep somethin' new goin' an' for me to reflect on later.
 
Well, I have written some already in other posts, a few updates, about Annies 2 timin' fiancee who ran off an' broke her heart. He is still a thorn in the side. I don 't know what Pa told him this last time, but I know Pa still has the revolver Annie's ex-fiancee gave to her even though he is threatenin' to lie to the police that we stole it ifin she don't give it back. He's a coward, what can I say.
 
 My "new" car is workin' well so far. I think she needs plugs an' wires soon. Ifin I can find a hoter coil for it i'll go with the low res wires an' platinum plugs for a little extra power. Like I said in the work post she is a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII which is a luxury mustang GT. she was designed to compete with the BMW's an' Mercedes of her day. she is the high end LSC model of it's make. she is rated @225hp base. but she already has headers on her which boosts the hp some an' as soon as I get the hotter coil, do the plugs an' wires an' install an electric fan to reduce the drag that the engine fan that it currently has now I think I might see a little more differance. i might try runnin' a special acetone mixture in the fuel tank until I convert it to hydrogene as that will boost fuel milage an hp at the same time.
 
  Well, the Witch, AKA Rose, tried to get Annie to accept her as a friend on facebook the other day. She was furious that she had the gal to ask that after all she did to me. She didn't like her to begin with like my brother an' other sister did. They all warned me about her an' I was too blind to see. I'm startin' to believe women are not worth the trouble. For now I will remain single an' let some other poor sucker deal with a woman an' kids.
 
   I just hafta find somethin' in life to make my life worth while. workin' for myself an' what IU can get for me is not an existence I care to live. some care to do nothin' else, I find it an empty existence. I have seen my death in dreams, though I'm not sure when I seem to know how an' in some of the dreams, which seemed so real, I had a chance to look back on my life from time of dream back. I realized in those dreams how meanin'less all I have is an' how meanin'less it will be to me someday. There are still things that I want, or would like to have, but I'm not for strivin' for them with all I have or am. I hate bein' in college still. Why I had to be stuck in nit so long I am not sure, but I know the Lord knows. I just can't wai to get out so I can really start life an' find out how I can make somethin' of my life for others. I have a few ideas but am not sure still. I have at least 2 years to sort some of that out still.
 
  Well, I'll write more later.

let's say as much as I love my sisters they tend to git on my nerves easily an' Annie an' I fight often. They are not evil, but tend to give me a headache. I'm not saying all are evil, but are any for me? that I am not sure of. my experiences say no, thus far. I'm more surly and unsmiling then I ever was before. I'm not a great lookin' fella an' still need to lose weight, even if a gal worth it was found an' could git past my outter looks I have not much else to offer.  most women my age are very immature, as the witch proved. I don't have the patients to put up with that sort of junk anymore.
 
'Nuff 'bout that. Car's losin' its alternator but i have not had time to fix it. Pa's been gone a week now an' I've been steady since. Homework needs done but after a full day i'm too tired to think about answering problems like, "what is the depletion zone in a p/n junction," or "what is the rms power in a circuit that has a pk voltage of 170 and a average current of 4 amps?" Nope not tonight. church i the morning, college required musical drama in the afternoon church again in the evening. looks like tomorrow night will hafta be it.  
 
Had a fight at work with a lower supervisor. He yelled at me for something i didn't get done because of time restraints. I was so mad from that and some other things I've taken from him recently i wrote him an' e-mail to keep myself from yelling back at him telling him I'd not work under someone who was not satisfied with my work and who didn't trust me and if he did feel that way then I had better resign my position and I left it up to him. He sent it to a higher supervisor as he was too chicken to talk to me to my face. the other sup an' I had a nice talk and he agreed with me totally. after he talked to this other sup I went and talked to him after I cooled down. He apologized and let me know he was wrong. we are good now, but as good a guy as he is he shouldn't be in supervision. he just doesn't have the skills or mentality for it.
 
Well, as our economy gets worse I am trying to prepare more. I'm not sure what will happen in the future but a few folk have brought to my attention the threat of EMP attacks or even stronger EMP waves caused by a sun spot close to the record sized one recorded in the late 1800's. so to my list of guns, ammo an' survival supplies I've now added glass tube radios, Faraday cages for essential electronics an' vehicles with points an' condenser ignitions. I'm also out to get scrap silver to save up in case of economic collapse. I'm not paranoid by any means, but I know that things are headed down hill in our country, weather an' other meteorological data is against us an' I want to be ready an' be a survivor, not a victim.  
 
 Farms goin' well here, another practice for an  economical collapse is my years of farm work. Birthed a calf Tuesday an' had a wild cow milkin' with the mother. she is suppose to be a milk cow but as this is her first calf we have work to do. The Bull knocked a hay bail on the fence an' took out the fence between him an' the sows so i was up until 11:30 Wednesday fixin' fence after church to keep everyone where they need to be. it has rained the last few days, which is much needed, but it has made chores a messy undertaking. i rebuilt 2 computers today for my Ma to take some online classes on. She wanted a desk top and a laptop as well. i got my hands on a pre-release copy of windows 7 32 bit version. not Beta, mind you but the pre-release. I'm tickled with it. Ma's old computer was slow an' didn't work well since we got it from a guy I used to work for. it had XP on it an' it never was right, especially after i rebuilt it due to virus crashes two times without a disk copy of windows. I put the windows 7 on it an' it works like a dream. missin' a couple of drivers due to the fact that they are not out yet but the program had most of them and what it didn't have I've patched together older versions from other companies that will work for now.
 
  I've got too much to do an' not enough time to do it in. back to first topic, IF I ever found a gal to marry she'd hafta be pretty special. i'm thinkin' more an' more I need a sweet gal with Gadget Hackwrench's abilities for mechanics and electronics and her hard workin' mentality. otherwise i'll never keep up with what i've got planned to do!!!
 
Write more later.

well, I've been 'round little an' there's much to say, but I don't have the time to say it all right now. Quick over view, Been busy with school and work, even though work has been borin' lately. Not doin' a lot there. 'Fraid if I don't get somthin' new soon they will ay me off. Have a new job in the works possibly but it's a 3 to 11 schedule. The college I go to reworked some things as far as how credits apply and what you must have to graduate. This is good, as it makes it so I might be able to graduate in one year!
 
 I found out a while back that WIR aka. Rosie, AKA the witch, is back working at the college I attend. Thought I saw her a few times early on but figured it was my mind playing tricks on me. IT was her though. she near hurt herself a couple times tryin' to avoid me. I honestly have nothing to say to her and rather not see her ever again, but this run an' hide junk that she's pullin' is quite childish. It's not like I was out lookin' for her either. It's all been chance encounters, but I'm waitin' for her to start screamin' stalker again.  Oh well, just the sooner I can graduate an' leave that place behind me the better.
 
  Well, our college hosts AACS competition so since the campus is swarmin' with high school students they give us the day off school. No rest for me, though. Just a few extra hours in work is all.
 
 Well, i'll try to write more later as time allows.

well, not updated this in a while, eh? Mostly 'cause I decided my life is only my business. But to add somethin' to this I say this. I'm in ND now an' am workin' in the oil field. Not somethin' I figured on doin' but, hell, it is somethin' different.

Sorry to hear about the job loss. You will get something better.
