Homecoming '09

Homecoming this year was awesome! :)

The music was your typical dance music but it was fun because everyone got into it and even sang some songs (including me hahaha). It was great being there with all of my friends :)

My posts seem to be getting shorter and shorter...

I promise sson that I will go back to putting big posts. Haha :)

It's been awhile....

...since I last blogged. I hardly have anytime anymore to blog. I think it will be easier to start doing vlogs now or something. Haha. I might just start doing that.

Well, life has been going great! The classes, the friends, everything's good.

Just wanted to let those of you who read this know.

Thanks for reading :)

Does anyone have a PSP that I can have??? PLEASE??!!

I need it because of the new

Dissidia: FInal Fantasy

game that is coming out on Tues. Please! I'll be forever in your debt.

I will die if I can't get one.

Oh, and I need it so I can buy a copy of

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (when it is released in the future)

OMG PLEASE ANYONE!!!

My Busy Saturday

Yesterday was one of my busiest days ever. It may not sound like it, but it was.

First, I was forced to wake up at 9am, which is pretty early for me. As soon as I woke up, I was practically thrown into the shower. Haha.

We [My mom, sister and myself] had to go meet up with my dad because he had to give my mom money for the tuition for school. Our day started with $500 in my moms purse and $500 i my sister's. Then, we wanted breakfast, so we went to Norms on Azusa. It was surprisingly cheap. And free refills on Hot Chocolate?! OMG. I wanna go back. After we ate, we went to Marukai (a Japanese market) and we went to buy candies and drinks. I got my mom and sister hooked omn this place, and now she loves the Ramune soda. After, we went to Staples (up there by the Seafood City, up on that hill) to get SOME school supplies, like pens and pencils and a new backpack (even though I still have one).

After, we went to Sam's Club to get groceries. When we were there, my mom and sister had to go to the restroom, so instead of waiting for them, I went and did half the shopping myself. When we were done, we got drinks (Lemonade for my mom and sister, and a Rasberry Iced Tea for me).

We went home to drop everything off, and I got my booklist, because we left again, and now headed to Barnes and Noble, to buy the english novels for IB English. They didn't have Woman at Point Zero and I couldn't get Ghosts because I didn't know the author, and there are so many books by that name. So I'm just going to buy them on the school website.

Then we went to the mall so I could get some new shoes. We went to the Vans store. And it's funny because these dudes walked up to me like I worked there or something. Haha. That's never happened before. And they had these GIANT Vans shoes. It was funny. I bought 2 pairs and then we went to JC Penny to buy some new undershirts for school. Then we went to Macy's because my mom had to buy this Clinique stuff. After, it's already like 7pm, so we went to Olive Garden. My mom just felt like going there, so we did. And our dinner conversation was like planning my sister's wedding, even though we don't if its going to happen or not. We were just having fun. Then we just went home, and ended the night.

Dead Fantasy III

Tifa VS Hitomi

and another cliffhanger

Dead Fantasy (Square-Enix VS Dead or Alive)

This is like the most epic series ever. It's been created by these people, but they are genius for doing it. I want this to become a game. It must. We must contact SQUARE-ENIX now.

Here they are.

I shall be uploading them as they are released.

So far, its:

Yuna, Rikku, Tifa, Rinoa and Kairi

VS

Dead or Alive Chciks (IDK their names)

Dead Fantasy I

Dead Fantasy II

Phone Call

I'm bored.

Today, I talked with Maryanne on the phone for like, over an hour.

I love having long phone calls. They're so much fun.

We just talked about IB History and about school, how we want to go back already, and hopefully we have the same classes. HAHA.

MacBookPro

So, today, I FINALLY got my new computer. It is a MacBookPro. I shall no longer have to deal with the unloyal PC anymore. It does not deserve to be used by me if it cannot uphold to my downloading necessities. Haha. Just Kidding. But still. Apple is MUCH MORE RELIABLE. I love it sooo much. Now, I must be very careful not to break this one.

Insignificant Burden

Wow, lately, that's what I've felt like. I don't know why, but I feel like I bother my friends. Do I seem to constantly nag? Constantly try to be in everyone's business? I think being alone is the cause. I guess I'm used to being with everyone at school, that being home with connections cut off, I try every chance I get. But I think that is the downfall. I feel that my friends are becoming more distant. Is it perhaps I don't have unlimited text? Is it because I dread upon trying to save friendships that have become obsolete? Maybe. I try everything I can, but nothing seems to work. I get no replies, and I think it's because of me.

Maybe it is. Maybe I pushed them away. And that just hurts. But then I take a second glance and see that...maybe, it's better this way. They have new lives. We have made all new friends and seem to forget about the others. But I simply refuse to let that feeling of repression win. I knew that at some point in time, we would go our separate ways and our friendships would cease to exist. I was afraid of that happening. I've never had something like that ever happen to me. It's almost as if death has separated us. But, nonetheless I keep trying, and I believe that is what is pushing people away even more. I'm sorry, but I think that soon, I will have to give up for good.

If what I do does not work, well then what else can I do? You go to different schools. I try to text, but never get a reply. But when you do is when I recover a small glimmer of hope. Hope that our friendship will rekindle and be reborn. I try to comment you on myspace...but the reply I get 3 days later is of no use. As time passes, I fear that my options will slowly, but surely run out.

I don't have my time left, I'm afraid, so I will try to do whatever I can. I wish that I could go back to the good old days. But I know that those days are long gone and past. I promise that I will do my best and also hope that you can return the favor.

And to all of my new and recent friends: I hope that this does not happen with you. I've realized that the chances for "Friends forever" are very slim, and only a handful are even that. I will cherish every moment I have, and also cherish the memories of those days as well. But, in the end, "Memories are nice, but that's all they are" (Rikku, Final Fantasy X). I hope that we can recover, and truly hope that maybe things can retrogress back to the way they were.

Friends, I tell you this: I will always be there for you. No matter what. No matter if you leave or if you try to discard your memory of me. No matter what, I will be there to the end. I want to strengthen our bonds and show that "Friends forever" really do exist.

Now, I will go now, and drown my sorrows in my music. That always seems to help...for a while.
I really must try to resist the "Inner Emo" (Neku Sakuraba, The World Ends With You).

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ; Day Out Hanging Out

So, today I went with a bunch of friends (mainly Rodrigo, Carmela, Ronnel, Camille, Danzel, Caitlin and Theresa) to see TF2.

First, I had to wake up at 4 in the morning to give my dog her medicine 'cause she's sick...and I had to so I could've gone today. I then went back to sleep, and got up again about 8am. I then took a shower and got ready. I had to make copies of our IB summer assignments for Ronnel since his were stolen along with is Algebra II book. Then, I had some breakfast and took care of some medicine stuff for my dog, and then my brother dropped me off at Rodrigo's house, about 10:30am.

It was fun hanging out like that. I really needed it. When I got there, Rodrigo was playing Call of Duty 4. After hanging out with his sister Aprille, and brother Conrad, we played a little bit of Guitar Hero III. Then, he showed me a trailer for the new game, Dante's Inferno, which looks REALLY good, considering we read the book this year.

Then, while Rodrigo's mom went to Costco, we FINALLY finished Resident Evil 5, completely! We finally unlocked The Mercenaries along with other stuff. So, RODRIGO, we need to play THAT now, so you can get more points for your BONUS FEATURES.

After all of that, it was time to leave for the movies. But first, we had to go to the bank so Rodrigo and Aprille could deal with some money business. I feel so out-classed. LMAO.

Then, we went to pick up Carmela at her house, and then headed to Edwards. When we got there, everyone was already there...except for Adri and Caitlin. We bought our tickets and headed inside to wait in line. We were only in line for like 5 minutes before they let us in. We got some really good seats...and just talked before the movie started. It also happened that Amy and Daniel were in the same theater as us...watching the movie. They sat behind us. We were all like, "Is that Amy?!" LMAO.
By this time, Camille went to go get Caitlin, and we were still waiting for Adri. It turns out that Rodrigo, when we gave our tickets to go in, accidentally gave the ticket dude, Adri's ticket. LMAO. It was so funny. So, we called Adri so many times, and it turns out, her decided not to work. She had to end up buying her own ticket, and also paid Rodrigo back for his "fail ticket." LMAO

S, OMFG, the movie was eff-ing awesome. It was sooo good like you don't even know! If you haven't seen it yet, go see it NOW! The movie was hilarious and we were busting up. Especially Theresa. She would laugh so randomly. The movie would be at a really serious part, and she would all of a sudden laugh. But be in for a long movie...its like 3 hours. BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT.

So, after the movie, while people went to the bathroom, we were deciding on what to eat. We were really hungry. And at this point, we began to film Ep. 3 of GRV. If you don't know what GRV is, look up GroupRandomVideos on Youtube. That is the channel Rodrigo, Ronnel, Hillary, Carmela, Jessica, and myself began. It's just video of us when we hang out. Its full of RANDOMNESS!!!!

So, we decided to go to Red Robin. While walking to the mall, we were talking and filming, and NO LIE, this fire hydrant came out of no where and Ronnel crashed into it. It was soo hilarious, you had to be there. When we got the the crosswalk, we saw Jessica in her car right in front of us. It was an awesome coincidence !! It was cool that we ran into her like that. After, we were deciding whether to cross the street or not because there wasn't a light telling us to go. There was the flashing red hand. SO we just waited, and as it turns out, we were correct to wait 'cause the "walking man" signal came up. So we crossed and walked into the parking lot. There we ran into Caitlin's parents and we were there for like 20 mins. While there, Rodrigo called his sister, and it turns out that te conversation went from asking his mom if it was okay to take some people home, to Ronnel demanding that Rodrigo's sister Aprille return his shirt, which coincidentally, she was wearing that same day, while I was at their house. LMAO.

So we ended up changing some money for Caitlin's mom. We all came up with change for a $100 bill. LMAO. Camille had sooo much money, and we were all poking fun at where she got it. LMAO.

We headed into the mall, through Macy's, and after some posing with the mannequins (*ahem, Rodrigo) and walking through half the mall, we finally got to Red Robin. While Adri and Ronnel went with Carmela to turn in her application for Tilly's, the rest of us went to get a table. We sat down and they returned. We ordered and then just talked and filmed some more. It was really funny, too. Theresa went all crazy 'cause she accidentally deleted her inbox on her phone. She was sooo sad. We all divided the bills between all of us. Our server was cool and really nice. We left a really NICE tip.

So, Danzel had to leave, and so did Caitlin, Camille and myself. We walked back through Macy's and, apparently, Theresa, Caitlin, and Camille were stopped by some lady and asked them to be models. LMAO.
We walked back to the parking lot, and then were just standing in the very middle of the lot, talking. Camille and Caitlin left, and everyone else walked with me to Baja Fresh, where my mom, sister and brother were waiting to pick me up. (Thanks you guys for walking me there. I <3 you guys!) So, while I went back home, everyone else went to Best Buy to hang out some more. I really wish I could've went with you!

So, yup. Today was REALLY fun.
I can't wait to do it again.

Now, we have to go see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs when it comes out and go to CUE to take some pictures, and then maybe have dinner at Tokyo Shabu Shabu.
Can't wait !
Let's make it happen !!
:)

Adds

Ok. So "Adds" whoever you are...Who are you? and why are you stalking us? We just want to know your true identity, or you will be blocked. If you are too lazy to make a public profile, then you don't deserve to see our blogs...

Are You Gay???!!!

So apparently, according to Maryanne, this is the new way to say like "Are you serious?" or "What the hell (or fuck)?" or "Are you mad?!"

Mr. Hernandez: blah blah blah

Brandon: I think we're going to have to to translate the recipe for homework...

Maryanne (looking at Mr. Hernandez): "Are you GAY!?!?!"

WOW

It was hilarious

You had to be there

We were all stunned!

WOW

All this anger manifesting itself into my blog

Words and powerful

And while words eventually die (Maryanne),

they can make a huge impact while they're alive!

Family Ties Broken

Dear Uncle, your mother is not the only problem.

As you detest everyone within this household, you are the true root of the problem with this "so called" family.

It is all your fault, and I hated you ever since then.

You warped and corrupted everyone here.

I'm sorry.

I try to remain civil, but my grip is slowly, but surely wearing away.

I want out of this house.

I've never wanted to move as much as I do now.

I want to go somewhere nearby where my mother, brother, sister and myself can finally live in peace and quiet.

I surely hope that once my life at Bishop Amat is over, I move out of this cursed house.

That is all I want.

You Call This A Family?

Pshhh!
I don't think so.
We're just people put together in a house who don't get along.
We used to, but that was what? Almost 10 years ago?
Anything is better than this?
I just, I can't do it anymore.
If one more person yells, I will be there to explode in their face and show them that they're no longer the power master in this house.
I am sick and tired of being the only adult in my house.
I just want it to stop.
So. dear grandmother, since you are the problem, don't be shocked when I turn against you after all these years.
You WILL see how good my Spanish is when I retaliate at your leisure.

This One (Crying Like A Child)

So, I haven't posted anything in a long time. And since I'm sitting here bored with nothing to do, I think it's time to post. So, the title of this post, is also a title of a song; a song whose lyrics contain a deep message. I really enjoy this song, and if you don't know who Hikaru Utada is, then you're a jerk. So here are the lyrics, and they can be applicable to a lot of people, including me. These words go out to someone special to me, or that was....

This One (Crying Like A Child)
Hikaru Utada
This Is The One (2009)
Island Def Jam Records


How can I put this I, I, I...
(You're) an independent woman, I...
I've been crying like a child
I just wanted you to know the person that I am
More than any other your fans
I would love you for a thousand years.
Yours truly

I ain't gonna play it cool
Let me tell you I've tried that Already
Every day, and every night, your words Ring through me
Who am I trying to fool, honey I've been living on my own like Freddy
But (you're) still a woman, baby tell me how

How could I ever love another?
How could you say you don't remember?
God knows I'd give anything For just one more night together
Today I'll miss you more than ever
How could you say you don't remember?
This one's for the happiness I'll be wishing you forever

It's just another Friday night
For you and your accessory (lies)
And there you are before my eyes
Two hours and for fifteen minutes you are here
I don't wanna scream lest I should tear
A whisper in the darkness disappears, Sincerely

We should get back on the road like Simon and Garfunkel
Let's get married
You're all the shelter that I need above me
Who am I trying to fool Honey I've got your ring tone on my Blackberry
And I won't give a damn if only I knew how

How could I ever love another?
How could you say you don't remember?
God knows I'd give anything For just one more night together
Today I'll miss you more than ever
How could you say you don't remember?
This one's for the happiness I'll be wishing you forever

You got me crying like a child
Ain't no need for me to lie
A hundred jpeg files fillin' up my hard drive
You got me crying like a child
And the crowd is going wild
This one, this is the one
Come on and give it up

How could I ever love another?
How could you say you don't remember?
God knows I'd give anything
For just one more night together
Today I'll miss you more than ever
How could you say you don't remember?
This one's for the happiness
I'll be wishing you forever

How could I ever love another?
How could you say you don't remember?
God knows I'd give anything
For just one more night together
Today I'll miss you more than ever
How could you say you don't remember?
This one's for the happiness
I'll be wishing you forever..........

According to Adam, "Hizo Frio Hoy!"

From the words of Adam Miu, today hizo frio! It was very cold today. So today, in Spanish, I was innocently drinking my hot chocolate because you know it was cold. And since Hernandez is on Kairos, we had Pranek(sp? well I really don't care! >:/ ). She is such a b***h and we ALWAYS get stuck with her for Spanish when Hernandez is away. You do not know how much I want to murder her! Since is so fricken annoying! She got mad at me and went all "Lancer Life" on my a** because I was drinking it; only to keep fricken warm and not die from pneumonia(sp?).
So yeah. But the good thing is that we were able to escape for about 20 minutes each because Mr. Domingo began calling us to his office regarding IB. He began with Christine, the Maryanne, then I went, and then finally, Kacie went. So, I think, for sure, I'm going to take IB now.
Anywho, after, was English. Mrs. Rogers left at the beginning of the clas to attend a funeral. But we still got stuck with our quiz, which I failed. I did not remember anything. We has Mr. Louis and Mrs. Leeman sub for us. It was kinda wierd, because it felt like she wasn't even there after she swapped out for Mr. Louis. We were in groups explicating the poem "Sonnet--To Science" by Edgar Allan Poe. I love his works, but its so hard to explicate it. You know how music is just like poetry, right? Well, it's so much easier to explicate lyrics than poems. After, Mrs. Goulding came in to talk to us about AP.
After class, I went to Mr. Beck's office to pick up a CSF form, but it's wierd because it's open to sophomores, yet there's no option for sophomores on the actual form. So I'm going to have to ask on that. After, I headed back to Mr. Domingo's office to pick up my typed up draft schedule for my next two years of high school. I went with Christine and Kacie, and ran into Seis there. Did you know that the highest GPA you can get out of IB is a 5.0? I did not know that. After, I went to get breakfast and talked until the break was over. It's funny because I almost forgot my backpack at the benches. LOL.
So then, in morality, we had our quiz. And Maryanne had to leave early, so class was a little dull today. LOL. But it IS funny how arrogant Erika is (she's this chick that sits in front of me, and she's hated by Alex, Alyssa, Maryanne, and myself. LOL). Since we had our book check, she tried to ride off someone else's book off as her own, and possibly just got herself in trouble. All for not being able to bring a stupid book to class.
Afterwards was lunch. I sat with Camille, Theresa, Rodrigo, Alyssa and Adam. First, there was a huge discussion on who is better at Guitar Hero. Personally, I don't know who is better. I would have to see them play and them see how good they are (also compared to me XD). Then, we got into the signatures in Camille's Geometry book. Then, out of nowhere, Rodigo made up this name. LOL. It was so funny. Rodrigo Leonardo K. Di Lim Caprio, II. (WOW what a mouthfull.) And then, I think Theresa said how, if he were to become famous with that name, he would need 2 billboards in order to make it fit. Haha! So after our crazy, hyper and out of control conversations and laughter, it was time for third period.
Adam and I had World History with Mr. Bee. Before, the class was fun, but when its either the first or last class of the day, it can really drag on. Today was no different. Especially, when Mr. Bee gets pissed at his Latin II class (which is 2nd period; the period before us). I know that England is supposed to be the ultimate power in the world like in the 1600-1800s, but DAMN! They need to calm down. Their futile disputes over religion (Catholics and Protestants), and marriages (that lead to death, no children or mixed religion children). What was their problem! It's not funny anymore. Like, it used to be, but not anymore. It's like every king/queen has never had a peaceful reign. Either they or the people have to complicate it. And the toll is taken out on us. UGH! Then, school ended. I walked home, and finally relaxed.
If you haven't noticed by now, this has been the longest post so far. I'm so proud of myself. YAY! So, I'm tired of writing. If we could do a blog instead of an essay, I would be so happy.

Just A Quick Memory....

So, yesterday in Spanish, Maryanne asked me if Mr. Hernandez ever showed us what grade we got for our final. I said 'No' and she said to asked him. But then I told her that she should ask him. Then, she was speaking and I really thought she was going to ask, but...

Maryanne: Has he showed us our grades for our final yet?
Me: No.
Maryanne: Ask him!
Me: No, you ask him.
Maryanne: Senor!...................Brandon has a question!
Me: (Hesitant) *Gasp* Uhh...yeah-- you never showed us our grades that we got on the final.....

So yeah. Maryanne totally tried to sell me out. But if was funny. I wasn't expecting it.
LOL.

Distress Crisis

Okay. This has to be the most difficult time of my life. I have no idea of what to do. To take AP (Advanced Placement) classes and just be a regular student; or go into the IB (International Baccalaureate) and excel at not only high school, but in college and at the rest of my life. It will be the most difficult choice I ever make. It is the most difficult thing you can do in high school. Only two schools west of the Mississippi River offers this program (Bishop Amat and Santa Margarita). This is my chance to maybe be accepted to colleges outside of California. This can open up my entire future. But it's at a cost. I will have to give up my electives for a workload equivalent to 6 AP classes. I want to do it, but I don't want the work load. But, I think I'm determined to do it. So I just have to plan it out, and have to decide by next week when we start forming our "unique" schedules. So, I will see. So, please, wish me luck in this grueling decision.

It's Been A While...

So, hello again. Well, I haven't updated in a couple of days. I've been busy. Well, not really. But oh well. So, anywho, lately, life has been steady. Nothing too bad or good has happened. Life right now is bland. School is the same. Everything is almost back to the way it's supposed to be. The re5 demo is out. Now that I have a computer, I can now continue playing The Last Remant. That game is so fun. So other than that, I shall update again soon.

Just an Update

So it turns out I'm getting my laptop back today....well, technically, tomorrow.  My brother's friend (the one who repaired it), dropped it off with my brother's girlfriend at her job, so when my brother goes to her house later, he'll pick it up.  So, in the morning, I'll have my computer.  And tomorrow, as soon as I get home, I will be able to resort to my daily habit of turning it on everyday. LOL.  So, as you can tell, I am very happy! :)

(Oh and that means I shall be able to continue my dedications!)

Much the Same...

Well, it turns out I'm still not going to have a computer until Friday.  That sucks SO much.  Well, other than that, the Resident Evil 5 Demo was released yesterday.  And I've played it so much.  It's very addicting!  So there is some good news out of this.  I just have to be patient until Friday.  And also, the new semester began today.  This semester I AM NOT screwing up.  I'm going to strive for straight A's.  As I'm still relying on my brother's Mac, time will be of the essence.  I will try to be on the internet as much as possible.  

Rain Storm

Yay! It's finally begun to rain.  And even some thunder and lightning to accommodate.  I simply just love the rain.  It's too sunny here in California.  We need some weather variety.

Busy on the Day of Rest

Well isn't this great.  I'm going to be very busy today.  So that means my dedications are going to be hold.  Hopefully I get my computer back today.  It's been about a month of not having one.  I should get it back today, hopefully.  I'm tired of using my brother's Mac.  Well, I shall wait and see...

I Can't Sleep

It's late and I can't sleep.  What's with that?  Maybe I'll play some 

ファイナル    ファンタジ  X: International.  I love that game so much.  It's so fun.

(Oh, by the way, that says Final Fantasy.) 

More Dedications to Come!

I'm wiped out from blogging all day. I shall try to return tomorrow with my dedications to...

Adam

Nathalia

Rodrigo

Ashleigh

サよなら(sayonara) for now!

Just a Warning

I am horrible with my grammar, and I'm probably too lazy to spell check.  So if you happen to find any mistakes, please bear with me.  I will try to not make so many mistakes.  

Dedication Time!!!! Maryanne San Mateo Adonna Minay Candido Mendoza

Well, (wow, I always start with "Well") the reason why I decided to begin my blog is because of one of my bestest friends, Maryanne Mendoza.  She is the smartest person I have ever met in my entire life.  We met freshman year in high school and became very good friends over the summer.  She is very funny and we have a lot in common.  

But, she doesn't have such an easy life as you would think.  Other than having crazed parents, and having unexpected drama (which you would think someone of her technicality would not have), her life is pretty difficult.  If only you could here the things she goes through.  And if you think you have it rough...  I thought my life was the most horrible until I met her (no offense).  Maryanne, I know that you will read this; you are the smartest person I have ever known, and you do not deserve the life you have.  I just want you to know that I, along with the rest of all your friends, will always be by your side, always.  

I have read her blog, and her words are powerful.  That is a plus because of her aspirations to become a writer.  You can say that Maryanne is MY inspiration for creating my blog.  So "Thank you" Maryanne!  :)

Self-Portrait

Well, in this blog, I'm going to briefly introduce myself to those who do not already know me.  I am Brandon Michael Dominguez.  I am 15 years old.  My birthday is June 7th.  I am a high school sophomore attending Bishop Amat High School.  I enjoy a wide variety of games: especially Square-Enix games, and music: mainly rock and also J-Pop.  I am a huge Japanese fanatic (as you can tell by my music selection).  Some people think that is pretty unusual for me, but I could care less what they think of me.  I have made many wonderful friends throughout my years and will hold steadfast to my memories.  

Besides this, I am just a normal person striving for the ultimate life in the future.  I go to school and study hard.  I fight to receive the best grades I possibly can.  Just by that, you would probably call me a nerd, but it irritates me on how so many people just throw their education away because it's "stupid."  

Other than that, I think I'll end it here, for now.  If anyone who is reading this has any questions they wish to ask me, leave a question as a comment, and some time in the near future, I may post another blog continuing this subject.  

Preface

Hello all! I'm Brandon Dominguez and today is the day I begin my very own blog.  To me, I see that a blog is a way of translating your thoughts and feelings into words.  And for a lot of us, this can be a very helpful thing.  I, just like the many people in the world, have things bottled up inside of ourselves.  I just really need to let go.  Well, I still have to get used to this whole blogging thing, so my posts for the time being may be relatively short.  To all of those who are reading, I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
