Been almost a month since I last wrote an entry. I would have written a few more but I have been just too busy. Now that classes are back in session, I've been busy with class work. Spent last weekend babysitting my nephews from Sat to Sun. Watched them play hockey. They lost 1 to 5 to Onalaska. Statistically, they did very well. Onalaska made 36 shots and only made 5, while LaCresent made 3 shots and made 1. Go LaCresent! This last Friday, we went out with Andrea & James to go see Butterfly Effect. Good movie. Most of this weekend of Sat & Sun was spent fixing a customer's computer. Sometime in the beginning week of January, we saw the Paycheck. I though it was a good movie. Beth said it was ok, but they needed to have someone other than Ben Affleck. She didn't think he was a believable character. Well, I have a headache and I am going to go to bed.

Well it's getting close to my birthday. My friend Andrea just had her birthday yesterday. She was talking about going out to drink but no one let us know what was going on, so we ended up just sitting around at home. Chad leaves on Sunday. My classes start on Monday. Busy times, I guess. Last Saturday Andrea, Chad, Beth, & I all went up to visit Chris in Wisconsin Rapids. I think everyone had a good time. Chris got us hooked into watching 'Firefly'. If you like sci-fi I think you would like it. I should email the sci-fi channel & see if they heard of it and if they would air it. Sort of sad that Fox gave it a bad time slot. But at least I have the short lived series on DVD.

Well, it's the new year. The time of reflection over the last year and thought into what I want this new year to bring, It's probably a great time to ask myself 'WHY?' Of all the questions that I have floating thru my mind, they all require 'why?' With just a hint of 'what?' Millions of questions but they never are fully answered. I guess that life would just be so boring if I knew the answers to all of them. When I had gone out for the long car drive with my wife, she helped point out a lot of things that I'm blind to see. We both felt much better after having that long talk and being able to understand each other better. Thru most of this fall, I have been feeling like my energy has just been drained. I could never seem to have enough energy to not feel tired. I think I know where it was coming from and will soon be trying my best to change that part of me.

I have a good question of 'why' to start off this new year: Why are you reading this? It's been a bit interesting looking thru the logs and seeing who all are looking at my web site. I have a few that check my site out like a few times a week, to some that look about 4-5 times a day or more. Do you, as the reader, care about how I feel? Is it that you may think that I am talking about you and you want to make sure that I don't say bad things about you? Or is this your first time to my page and was interested about what I might be like? If it's the last one, the person who I call me is being far misrepresented in these entries. We as humans are so complex that if you truly wanted to know & understand me, you'd have to meet me & talk with me for a while.

One of the things I'm hoping to change this year is that it feels like everyone considers me to be the enemy. I can't understand why I feel that way. What have I done wrong to people? Maybe I should just be blamed for everything. Oh yeah, I already am. I guess I just have to try to find ways to make my life better than it was this last year. Hope you have a better year than I do. :-)
