the wonders of tech..

it is over. that is right, i am talking about summer. we had great weather here and summers end was lookin really up and then the rain came. ARGHH!!! why can’t we just have some real killer weather until the start of school and also through the first semester. but NOOOOO…rain has to ruin it all. Sorry about that rant. it is just such a bummer. oh well, my days start in about five days or so. we report back to the school and get the ball rollin. i finished one class already and now will complete my next step and complete this one. bummer. learned alot and look forward to learning more as the years progress..at least the EPL started last weekend…YAYYY FOOTIE!!!!

yes that is right….back to blah. work to make extra cash-ola for other stuff during the summer. back to the drudgery of portland. back to weather that sucks….back to the fact that summer is winding down and soon school begins. at least i can look forward to a new group of kids and some new computers and some new ideas to start out the year with. woohooo. bills are paid, jogging has been going good, classwork is gettin done on time and with time to spare. rock and roll. hood to coast is coming soon so be ready for some pictures…yeahhh…me…hood to coast. get out the gurney. hahaha.

yes…I am here, no homework except for this little excerpt. we got here on friday and have swam, surfed, luau’ed, snorkeled, and swam. food is good, things are expensive yet it is all worth it. my kids and wife are having a blast…so am i for that matter, i can still bookmark for delicious, add a blog with a pic. need to make comments though. saw that one of my favorite epl teams west ham had a game against the columbus crew and a brawl broke out. shameful. ok…that is it for now…except for…

well today is a tough one. it is day two of my APA style paper that i am writing for one of my classes. yes…I still have one more to write after this. i am having a real hard time writing this becuase…well…becuase i have not written a paper in such a long time and also this APA style is a killer. I wish I could just write a paper and then be done with it, without the margins, headers, footers biblio and all that stuff. wahhhhhhh. yeah I know..want some cheese with that whine….lol. ok, back to work for I also need to get it done…Maui here we come!!

well it is close to the end of june and it started to get hot here in oregon only to get cold and rain the next day. 103 then down to 67 all in 24 hours. yikes. went to swedish midsummer celebration on sat with the fam and had a pretty good time. swedish pancakes, if you have never tried them, are the BEST. make sure you get the original, that is, made by swedes…IHOP doesn’t count. SPAIN are EURO 2008 winners. after 44 years on no national wins in footy, torres puts one in the back of the net during the first half and bam…germany goes down in defeat…woohooo!!! goin to maui in two weeks, can’t wait. homework is going smooth now that i have all of it caught up and life is good. done…

soon to start and even though I have done it in the past I cannot bring myself to do it anymore. It is such an easy gig but what I have come to see is that it has begun to be a dumping ground for some of our more overly energetic kids. While a portion of the kiddos are actually there to keep up on their education in some form or another others are just there not caring about what we are trying to accomplish which is quite disappointing. I cant really blame the kids for it is not they who signed them up for the courses but their parents. Lets switch courses here, Euro 2008, Portugal out…boo. Turkey, Germany, Spain and Russia in. GOO RUSSIA!! gotta vote for someone, so it might as well be Russia, good to see them back up in the higher group these days…it has been awhile.
