Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 Yes, I know. I'm about to talk about my life. Everytime I do, I have something dramatically sucky to talk about, but I honestly swear this is a positively thinking post, and although I will mention something sucky, this will remain a positive thinking post. Anyways, I thought I should let TSMers know that I did go to that CDI College that I had told you about not that long ago. Today is Day Three and frankly, I'm happy I have. The subject I'm studing is Computer Programming, and so far so good. Haven't actually gotten into the programming yet, due to some self-management training session I'm currently in. However, this course is helping me not be the self-blaming cynic I am and letting me return to my optimistic ways about life. Plus, I'm thinking I made the right decision going to CDI as I'm feeling quite well, relaxed and for the first time in my life, I have a sense of direction and focus. Of course, what really blows my mind away is the fact that apparently, is that we've got the choice of doing boring ol' C++ or trying out .NET from Microsoft. This is quite interesting because I went to a seminar about .NET from Microsoft just a year ago, so they gave me a .NET Student package free for attending. So upon thinking I put one and one together to give me 3. I can start playing around with .NET now and so when I finally get to the point of actually taking .NET, I'll have at least some idea of what I'm doing. See? Direction, focus, and I actually remembered something. I'm getting smart again... At least, I'm looking smart. I'm quite sure somewhere in there, I look quite stupid, or something looks stupid, but hey! Fun times! That, and of course, I finally figured out that maybe I just should stop being a God damned angst drama bastard. Yes, it normally would be said, drama queen, but I'll say what I wish, so just deal with drama bastard. Of course, with the good comes the bad. My grandfather who is very ill (who has all sorts of machines helping him live) has recently contracted bone cancer on top of his illnesses he currently has. Sadly, because of these previous illnesses, he can't have kimo treatment and will die in a one to four week span doctors say. My parents are also the executors of his will, so they must head out there when he dies and do whatever his will asks of his estate. If I get all sappy and that, I might ... no, I wouldn't be able to get to the tasks that need to be done at hand. I have my new course to worry about, I have to find a new job to help with the financies, and really, it is better if he goes, since he's been in so much pain for the last two years. Yes, kinda cold-hearted, and I don't mean any disrespect to my grandfather, but I'd also be disrespecting my grandfather if I did get all sad and fucked up the current good times I'm having as well. Catch-22 really... At least, I think that's the saying that should be applied here. I just wanted to let everyone know about some big things in my life, since I do that to you guys so often, and you guys have been awfully supportive of me. I appreciate it. Thought you guys might like to hear about the happy stuff. Well, there is a sad part, but for the most part, I'm doing good. Just a different change from pace from the normal stuff I tell. Anyways, I gotta run. Have to go to school now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said stop being the cynic when it relates to myself out to get myself. I'm quite sure the world is out to get me, but I don't think I try to fuck my own life up anymore.
