So it's been a while, my fine feathered blog. To be totally honest not much has been happening, just really passing the the time until the holidays hit. I haven't been sleeping much or very well when I do, and really for no good reason. Many reasons, but none of them good. And so how do I make use of my time? I don't.
But enough of that. I mean I can't put off going to bed ALL night. I can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here, I can't believe the year's almost out, I can't believe a lot of things these days. The one thing I can believe is the increasingly likely and absolutely amazing possibility of taking a cross country bike trip this summer. I've got a lot of gear and things to stock up on, a new bike to buy/build, and a lot of preparation but it's really seemingly all coming together.
For now I guess I'll bid anyone who actually reads this crap adieu, hopefully it'll be under a month before the next update...

Two-fold bewilderment and wonder on a two-post kind of night
My jaw is dropping in two completely different directions at the same time, if that's possible. I'm zigging and zagging, winning the race in last place, shaving a Mexican hairless.
No, but really, this is going somewhere. I'll start with the negative. What the hell is up with my landlord right now. I realize it's not terribly cold out right now and so I shouldn't be bitching too much, but I asked him over the weekend to come over and put some more water in our heating system - which currently heats our entire home save my bedroom. He said he would come over and do it ASAP. I mean all he has to do is go in the basement, open a little valve for a few seconds, then leave. That's it. Of course it might be difficult, because he mentioned he might have lost his key to the basement. Wonderful. If it were up to me I'd be down there with a lockpick and a funny hat and/or ski mask right now.
On the positive end of things, do you ever just take a step back and go "is that really me?". If you would have told me a few years ago that I would have an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, specifically in building lasers and optical communications I would never have believed it. On top of that, I'm a professor at age 24. It really hit me the other day when I was in a meeting at a company we're trying to get a project hammered out with (read: get money from) and I basically had answers for everyone in the room. When you start running a conversation in a room of what are supposed to be intellectual superiors and well respected members in their field...I don't even know what to say other than it's a weird feeling. The good weird.
So here I am contemplating a lot of things, life in general, the real reason behind why I'll most likely piss the rest of the night away and just stay up through work tomorrow among other things. If you're still awake for some reason and reading this, bother me - I've got nothing else going on.

Big things in store...
I'm not sure how much I can/should reveal, but let's just say there are some seriously epic plans being forged right now for next summer. The stuff that legends are made of.
On a less serious and absolutely hilarious (at least to me) note, I dropped my phone getting something out of the trunk of my car yesterday, and it hit the ground at the exact angle needed to completely remove the hardcase and send it all over the parking lot. It reminded me of playing Ghosts & Goblins, my phone was instantly naked and throwing lances at zombies.
