Buh-ring it!

All right, there's a lot of smack-talking going on in the comments of my blog. I'm gonna have to start censoring. I would like to thank you all for affirming that I am not in the least bit intriguing. Although apparently Brian had a dream last night that I was convicted of a crime in Germany and sentenced to two years, but I wouldn't tell him what I'd done. He figured I'd been dealing drugs or was a prostitute - naturally. I decided he had that dream to make me feel better about not being intriguing in anyway.

In the dream, I told him that if we stayed together until I got out of prison, then I'd tell him. He apparently came and visited me two times while i was in the slammer - Aaww!

In other news, I googled myself and I found sites on me that included DMS, King County Landsat Metadata, African Americans and Entrepreneurship GMAC research paper, and Michigan Tech track reports. No one could ever link my past together if they googled me, probably cause I'm so intriguing like that!

A couple weeks ago Mike wanted to go see Brokeback Mountain, because he was "curious." So, he, his friend, Brian, and I all went. It was really good! I hope it wins the Oscar. I love Heath Ledger including when he's playing a gay cowboy. The most memorable part of the movie was at the most emotional point when Heath Ledger said to his gay cowboy lover, "I wish I could quit you!" and Brian burst into laughter, while I wiped my tears away. Anyway, go see it.

Peace out!
and Mike, roof roof, with the little puppy ears.

Lots-O-jobs

Hello - to those of you who ever look at my blog anymore.

I probably wouldn't considering how infrequently I say anything anymore!

Anyway, I thought I would just say what I'm up to. I realized today that with all the jobs I have at DU now that I have a student status, staff status, and faculty status, which I think is funny.

But yeah, I'm still working halftime as the DMS Program Assistant, I began this term as an adjunct instructor for the English Language Center, which consists of me teaching English to beginning ESL students for 4 hours on Saturday morning. This means that if I go to church on Sunday there are no days to sleep in, which sucks it! Of course, I skipped church yesterday and slept till 10:00 and then went and got delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee for me, Brian, and Mike. Mike called me a hooker for not remembering to get sugar in his coffee. I told Brian to defend my honor, but he didn't. So now my honor is tarnished!

Anyway, back to my jobs. So, I also have a Research Assistantship for the Office of Sponsored Programs. So far I've just been doing copying and menial tasks for it but I think that I may start doing some actual research for it shortly.

This week, I'm starting my other ESL class for Focus Points Family Resource Center on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I'm also taking Statistics and Spanish this term. So, that's four jobs and two classes. When I add up the hours that I'm working it isn't too bad, but all the running around to everything is annoying.

Anyway, the job quest is still on. I applied for a full-time internship for a nonprofit consulting firm last week and I think that would be a great next step for me, so keep em crossed! I keep thinking if I get a nice 8 - 5 job things will settle down a bit, but of course knowing me I'll keep teaching my Saturday class and finish my research assistantship and just be more busy.

Everything I'm doing is fun, so I think that makes it harder for me to quit anything when I take on more stuff. That and I have a great talent to finding part-time work. Too bad I can't convert that talent into finding full-time work.

Anyway, enough rambling.

I think it's weird that people post comments to my blog and say they found it "intriguing." I don't think that's how I would describe it. I kinda don't think they read it and it's just a tactic to get me to look at their site. Of course their sites always sound boring, not like the Park Ranger that emailed Jeff and found his site intriguing - that guy's site was hilarious!

Peace out! - David the NOME
