Another Random Ramblin'

I know it's been a little while since my last entry. There really hasn't been much for me to write about, well stuff that I wanted to share with the entire world anyway. I was sitting here thinking about what I wanted to write about today. I thought of a few topics so I figured that I would just do another Random Ramblin.'
I started college this week. I am attending Indiana's Ivy Tech State College. For the time being, I am taking all of the prerequisite courses before going into Computer Information Systems (CIS). I started on Monday evening and had class again last night. I am only taking one class this semester, that being math. My financial aid was denied because my mom made to much last year. The school used discretionary funding for me for my one class. They paid for the class and I had to pay for the book(s). Not a bad deal for being able to take just one class to see if I am going to enjoy this whole college thing. So far, its gone pretty well. I am still not sure if I am liking it or not. I am going to have to give it a few more weeks before I can really say for sure.

This Sunday will be the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500. I am actually pretty excited for this year's race. There are two words that can explain my excitement: Danica Patrick.



I got to tell you, this girl is not only a beautiful gal, she can drive a racecar too. Now that is my kind of woman. She is going to start in the 4th position on Sunday. That is the highest qualifying spot for any women that has been in the 500. People are saying that Ms. Patrick is the first woman to have a legitimate shot at winning. I will be rooting her on. I think that it would be amazing for a women to win the race. If and when that happens, it will no doubt, be something that no one will forget. Good luck on Sunday, Danica. Make all those guys eat your dust, girl!

Well, I guess its looking as though this is going to be a rather short entry. I am now having a hard time thinking of anything else that has gone on that I want to write about. Don't ya hate Writer's Block? I sure do!

'Till next time.

Random Ramblin'

Hey all. I thought that it was about time to put a little something, something in here. I wasn't quite sure what to write about this time around so I just thought I'd do a random ramblin'. Basically that means that the topics I write about can range in nature. So, let's get on to the ramblin'!

On Monday afternoon I got a cell phone of my own. I think that it's pretty cool that I finally have my own phone. The reason that I was able to get a phone was that mom wanted to leave Sprint and go to Cingular for their Rollover. She and I had discussed getting a family plan so that I could have a phone. We did get a family that consists of 1,100 Anytime minutes, Unlimited Night & Weekends, and Unlimited Mobile-to-Mobile between Cingular and AT&T customers.

The main reason that I wanted to have a phone of my own is so that I can call California and talk to Erin and so that I could call my other friends that live out of state, anytime I want to without having to ask mom if I could use her phone. Mom told me that she thought that it was a good idea for me to have my own phone for not only this reason but also for when I am outside. If she needed to get a hold of me or I needed to get a hold of her for some reason, I'd have a phone on me.

Things with the situation with Erin and I are going well. As a matter of fact, they are going great. I really couldn't be any happier than I am now considering the distance between us. I am actually handling the distance pretty well, a lot better than I thought that I would. I called her on Monday night when I got my phone. I had to leave a voicemail for her, which was pretty cool. I called her yesterday while she was on her way to work. That was the first time that she and I had spoke to one another before. I must say that it was a great experience hearing the sound of her voice for the first time.

Well the Cubs aren't doing as well as they should be so far. It feels like last year all over again with all of the injuries that are happening. Can't blame the injury bug for the team's misfortune. I think its just a shame that this team is dealing with these injuries. I hope that things start moving in a positive direction, soon.

The state of Indiana will start observing Daylight-Saving Time (DST) for the first time in about 30 years starting in 2006 and I am damn sure not happy about it. I think that DST is a joke. I think that the vast majority of the state did NOT want DST and now we will have it anyway. I thought the whole purpose of the Indiana legislators was to do what their constituents, the people that voted them in, wanted. I guess that is not always the case (I already knew this, just being a smart-alec). Freaking jerks. Oh well, I guess that is something that I can do nothing about so I might as well get used to it.

That's going to wrap it up this time around.

'Till next time.
