Lunch With Mom

 Yesterday, I worked until 8:30 PM.  I was a Courtesy Clerk.  No more sanitation at the moment.  Before I clocked in, I had lunch with my Mom.  We ate at Arby's.  My Mom is driving up to Michigan, along with my sister Elizabeth and her children.  Tate is riding up too.  Meagan, my other sister is going to fly up because according to my Mom, "We ran out of room" for the ride up.  They are going to go visit Aunt Mary.  I miss Aunt Mary, wish I could go.  I did ask, but only so they know I wanted to come along.  Road trip!  I am not sure if they leave today.

Speaking of today.  I smoke.  So, I was out back doing my thing.  I also had let my dog, Max, Abe, or whatever you want to call him, into the backyard.  As I watched him, and finished my cigarette he found a spot by the fence and laid down.  It had a calming affect.  I went back inside and let him continue to lay next to the fence, rather than bringing him in.  I went back upstairs and looked out the window to check on Max.  He was just sitting there.  It wasn't to hot for him, I suppose.  It has gotten hotter.  But it is still raining, and here we are midway through July, in Arlington Texas.  Normally, it is a million degrees out.  

This morning I was driving.  I listen to KCBI on the radio.  It is a Christian station.  I got in the car just as "Awesome God" was playing.  I like that song.  The thing is, that song makes me think of the this family from Florida.  I met them online.  They seemed to think I was the neatest thing since sliced bread.  I remember people in my life easily.  I am not sure why the song makes me think of that family.  I remember sitting on the bus, in Everett going to do math.  As I sat there the song came on in my disc player and my first thought was, "This makes me think of the that family from Florida".  Again, I am not sure why.  In fact, I am not sure why I still think of that family.  It has been twenty years since I last talked to them.  I am not sure whether it was working in the back of a Fedex chute that first brought them to mind.  Or, what happened during the wreck, where I thought of them as my car was crushed.  I'll try not to talk about it anymore.  I hate to bother people.  But for some reason, twenty years later, God has them on my mind still.  I pray for them because I don't know what else to do.  I was supposed to have gotten in touch with them years ago.  I will try not to talk about it anymore.  It involves personal feelings.  Instead, I will share the song here.  


Anyways, time to go play some Eve Online.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...

Rhetorical Writing Triangle

  Rhetorical Writing Triangle I wanted to run an advertising campaign.  To test out the features of pinterest business mode .  I chose this Rhetorical Writing Triangle to advertise.  The campaign has generated 61 clicks.  It is clear, I do not know what I am doing.  But I am interested in learning so I could help out and maybe make some money.  It is clear, many people want to learn about Rhetorical Writing.  Yet, do they even teach it in school?  I have no idea.  I was home schooled.  But I did attend Christian Liberty Academy.  I remember some of there Grammar involved Essay writing.  Book reports too.
