Pencils and Pens

Im a writer, by a construd and odd means. In that I would by a long push, prefer to write something down then type most things. I find certin digital medias cumbersom and less useful than a good old piece of paper. My calandar, is one of my biggest, must be paper devices, I have two paper calandars, a phone and a Google calandar, and of the four my paper conuter parts see me on a day to day, almost hour by hour by hour basis, while my google version, see me once a week, and my phone, which is a organ of my body, sees me the least. I find more pleasure in being able to actually write something down, I can put it exactly as I wishm in my own format and handwriting. To had humor, with my own handwriting, an imbeded code of confusion with my handwriting is added, as you should try to read what I write for only my eyes some time, as it can be quite puzzling.
What I write with though, is where I find my greatest joy. When it come to the world of inks, I like heavy bold dark and wet. My best pens for that a time and time again, the Pilot Precise V5, they come in an array of colorts plenty, and sold in all black and blue. Their tips are fine and needle like, and ink flow is heavy, but not flooding. My only grip, is that their constructions is oddly gasketed, and will tend to leak, almost garenteed to leak if exposed to intense temps. and most certinly if put through a wash. If you visit some of my shirt pockets, evidence lies there. Their look to is something I have a bit of pride for as well, simple. no curves, no guey grips all 90* angles, and they have componets that can be taken apart, to aid in idle times.
Pencils, I really do enjoy more often then I get the chance to use. Both mechanical and standard yellow. Mechanicals, are slightly less favored, only for that, the are to have a supply of rods, Ive yet to find a handle that I find sitting to my hand, and more often then not, they break in some manner. But their convience of not requireing a sharpener, proves to be a amazing thing time and time again.
I find a good old pencil a good thing to have in my book. I remember in high school, more so than right now (I'm in a pen mode lately for college, more so than pencil) there would be pencils out there, that were of a character of themself, some for instance would never sharpen, you could but you would always come out of the perfect sharp, for it to have broken the graphite as soon as you go to write, it would come out a broken piece. While others seemed to go through being shap too soon, and you seem odd going to the pencil sharpener by the door every too often. Here and there, was a good pencil, never purchased, and always found, and you would hold on to it intently....  ahh, a bit of joy in the day.

Happy Birthday Sarah

Happy Birthday to you Sarah!!
Happy 21!!

How is it thus far?


I had a most relaxing and enjoyable weekend this past weekend, as I was up in New Hampshire for Sarahs Birthday. I got my train tickets earlier in the week, and almost contimplated skipping my remander of classes for the week, and leaving at that vert instant. Thankfully for selfcontol, I was able to hold back abit and wait untill Friday afternoon. Fridays seemingly enough was open, in its entirety, allowing me to run a few errands before heading to catch my train, even though, I some how still managed to,... as I usually do now, be running on the platform of the train, catching it at the last moment.
The train, as it always is, was an utterly enjoyable experince best 1.4 hours of my week.
I arive, to the dining hall we swiftly mose too.
The rest of the weekend fallows as it does, lots of snacking, poking around on the computer, more eating, going to bed too early and staying in bed way too late.
A dinner at flatbreats,... if you ever get the change to be in portsmouth, or anytown that has such of that restaraunt, go there. Esp if you are one of those granola crunchy, eco-friendly, overly organic kinda of fun people, you'll like what they do, and it surely tastes swell...
Board games, and staying up past our bed times. Watching and making fun of the litthe niches of people we pass as we travel about here and there.

My favorite part of my weekend?

Research

Hey, heres something I have always thought was kinda cool, though, its not entirely what I am seeking in life as far as energy transmission goes, but induction charging is kinda quite cool, and not too too far from wireless powering. My first taste of it was when I bought my first electric tooth brush many years ago, and it charged simply by placing the brush on its little stand. There were no exposed electrical terminals.. but it somehow got electricty into it, wicked cool I thought. So now, more and more so, companys are using that same method for out common everyday electronics. imagine just having a pad on your desk, the size of a mouse pad with just one cord running to it, and you come home at night and simply place your iPod, Palm Pilot, Blackberry, your cellphone, your Mp3 player all on this place on your desk, and they begin to charge,... no plugging anything in.... well its here... and wicked cool!

I really need to do this more often

Alright, So I need to stick with this. So I am at my office at work, and today I'm doing one of my more favored things to do. Ebay! So on top of organizing offices setting up for us to come to them for a data shedding service, and private persons, We also deal with people who have left their houses, through distant moving or death. and well recycle certin Items as well as distroy personal data. Per example, Someone has died, and their daugher has come to use us to do away with all of her mothers bank statements and such that she has no sentimental value for. untop of that she had a book of Silver Dollars that she didn't really want to do anything with, So she gives it to the company and they take a charge off of the service of the data distruction. Now I get to go through and try to sell all the coins on Ebay... and soo far I have 40+ coins in a value range from $550.00 to $10,305.00.... so.. not too bad I guess. I get 60% of what I mannage to sell,.. though this seldom comes up,.. its kinda fun to do ontop of the regular stuff...

Breaking and Entering

It is just shy of 4:00AM, and I just got back from breaking into my neiboors apartment. So as I was laying in bed, somewhat half alseep, there occured this particularly loud banging sound, along with loud female voices. After a bit of listening to this for I while I arose from bed, stepped outside, and asked if they needed any help with the banging. Dawning my friendly face, I offered a hand to the three girls next door, so that they could get into there apartment. I stepped outside, mountian Boots, light T-shirt (green), tool box in hand, Head lamp on head and lastly snoopy pants below. two minutes later, I had their door open, and everyone in my block was happy! Sweet! Back to my bed I returned not too soon after writing this down,

Winter Particulars

I can never really answer the question, "Which season do you enjoy the most?" I always find myself in the middle of one season, wanting drastic change, when its cold and depressing out, I want a convertable in the summer. While I am being eaten alive by bugs, and checking the dog and my self for ticks in the summer, I wish I was shoveling snow. I like to think of sitting around a camp fire on a summer night, drinking warm cider while picking out a pumpkin, and the amount school seems just rush past itself in the spring time.
But I guess with it currently still being in the middle of winter, I might find some good in it, holidays are past, school is picking up again and before I miss it I want to catch one particular thing to do.
I was much younger, 12 or so, camping in a cabin, somewhere in the middle of mass, far enough away from much city night lights. Boy Scouts it must have been with, we were hiking at night. It was an attemp to show us examples of navigation using starts and moon shadows,.. and things that didn't require batterys. Being outside in the woods, deep into the woods with much snow fall on the ground is quite exciting for me. It affects light in a particular manner, theres a very cold clean smell, and alot of your attention is put forth in hearing. Winter is quite unique in an acoustic manner. With in a few Hours a landscape of very fresh, fluffy, powdery snow can be very quiet and dead, and you can pretty much hear absloute silence, which is a very special and amazing circumstance to partake in. The snow then changes to a more harder and sticky substance, in which every sound is bounced, loudly and clearly for a much greater distance than durring any other time. you hear globs of snow falling from trees from hundreds of feet away. twiggs breaking, and the strain on trees and other objects flexing. Utterly tiny sounds, you hear with the utmost clarity.
Not being one to meditate much, I find this as close as I have been to, to utter relaxation. You find yourself adjusting your breathing, and listen to little details that your body makes as it takes air in and out. you feel a pulse in places, you become a bit more aware of yourself in this silence...

First Day of Classes

Had my first class for this part of the year today. Electronics at 4. With a quick meeting around 2 today, to discuss if I want to continue being a tutor, and I am, just now instead of me getting paid by a deduction to the amount I owe for school, I now will be getting a pay check, which is quite nice and helpful now.

 The class went fairly well, being that there are only 6 or so kids in the class, and the professor was so far so good. My only disapointment being that the material in the class, for the most part consist of things I already know quite well,.. its all circut board stuff,.. and well I can't test out of it, and its required, so I guess I am stuck having to ride this wave. OK. I can do that.

Its about 11 something at night, Im just throwing a few notes together, reading my new $300. book for this class... and getting ready for tomorrow.. currently I have nothing planned for tomorrow,.. No class, and no work as of yet. Which is ok and fine by me,... Sarah comes home tomorrow, which I am quite excited for. I miss her greatly.
