Rants by that Guy Mark
 

Hey Everyone,

Well... looks like you have stumbled across another little section of me in the internet world.  From time to time I do get around to changing my main page, what is left over is here.  I didn't want to loose what I had written, I suppose you could say it is a piece of history about me.  May write something here, may write something under my main page ... who knows, all the more fun for me and any other poor soul that is bored enough to read it.  Anyhow, sit back and enjoy, with any luck I am even get a laugh or two out of you.

I am about to graduate from university, which is a scary thought. in itself (1 weeks and counting).  At times I think it is well overdue, and at the same time I am scared to death.  Lately I've begun to wonder if degree in Environmental Science will pay back the BIG debt, but, for the most part it has been a great four years.  I know it is doubtful, but if a human resources executive has stumbled upon my page and is reading this, feel free to take a quick look at my resume. I would be graciously accept a corner office with a nice view, company car and comfortable salary in exchange for a lifetime of slavery behind a desk!

Where to begin?  I am writing this with one week of University to go, I should really be studying for a exam I have tomorrow morning but this seems like a much better use of my time, do you not agree?  To top everything off, it is my birthday in 48 hours, and I think I am slowly slipping into another mid-mid life crisis.  This one should not be to bad, after all I am about to graduate (at least I think I am), so I am not doing to bad.  Ok, maybe I am a few years behind my peers, or that is the impression I have.  They after all, graduated 3 years ago.  I suppose I will really know when I finally get out into the work force, if I am licking envelopes for a living I know I have a bit of work, and a lot of butt kissing to do!  Any way, enough of the boring complaints about me and lets move on to something a little more exciting.

Where to begin?  I am writing this exactly one week after I handed in my final University term paper and now I am bored to death.   It is strange, when school was in I did pretty much the same thing, but then it was procrastination, it was almost fun, and beside there was always school work to do if I was incredibly bored.  Now there is nothing and what to do with myself?  I suppose is is a much a good use as any, do you not agree?  I survived my mid-mid life crisis and my birthday the other week and all is back to normal at least for the most part. Ok, I still believe  I am a few years behind my peers, or that is the impression I have.  They after all, graduated 3 years ago.  I suppose I will really know when I finally get out into the work force, if I am licking envelopes for a living I know I have a bit of work, and a lot of butt kissing to do!  Any way, enough of the boring complaints about me and lets move on to something a little more exciting.

It is amazing how quickly life changes. What seemed important one day, just does not have much signifigance when you stand back and look at the big picture. My dog died the other day, which normally is not a big thing. It hurts, just seems too quiet around the house now, but all of that is tolerable. Heck, this is me, I am suppose to bat an eye and move on. But not this time. I am not sure why I am writing this here, great first impression for those those that are reading my bio for the first time .. for those, that want something a little lighter check out my classic rants but I need someplace to express my thoughts as for those that know me, my greatest fault is talking about feelings. It has just been one of those months, you know how people say "bad things come in 3's" -- hey look at the 3 R's *SMILE* , darn greenie environmentalists, well Spike dying of Lukemia was the catalist.You see my grandmother was diagnosed with stage four cancer about a month ago, my aunt, with terminal cancer about a week later. It just has not been a great month. So here I am, sitting in front of my computer not sure what to say, what to think -- honestly, I should be writing an essay but school seems to be the last thing on my mind. I just have not been myself, and although most would agree, with a "rightfully so" ... I just cant help but start looking at everything around me. *SMILE* Not sure why I just smiled there, I had one on my face for some strange reason, which does not make sense becuase I sit here refusing to let a tear or two fall, but that symbolizes my mood. I can not help but sit and reflect, oh boy this is getting pitifull, and more then anything else, be critical of myself. Boy does this writing have a mind of its own, not sure where that last thought came from but it is true, and probably natural. I have just spent the last 72 hours or so, picking on myself now, you know, the where am I going with my life, its time to grow up, you know the drill. When am I going to get it right? Anyhow, I am not sure where this is going anymore, I think I lost my directionm somewhere but reading thought this mess tomorrow I am sure I will find some good --- for how, I thank those that surivived this rambling ....

Well I actually did it, can you believe me, of all people [finally] graduated from University. At times I think it is well overdue, and at the same time I am scared to death.  Lately I've begun to wonder if degree in Environmental Science will pay back the BIG DEBT, but, for the most part it had been a great four years.  I know it is doubtful, but if a human resources executive has stumbled upon my page and is reading this, feel free to take a quick look at my resume. I would be graciously accept a corner office with a nice view, company car and comfortable salary in exchange for a lifetime of slavery behind a desk!

December 2003

It is time to take that next step and grow up a little more. For those that take a look at my site from time to time, you probably recognize this and I still hold true to that statement, but does not mean I can not try to be a little more responsible. RIght?

Our HouseA lot has happened since I fought turning 31 in April. I was offered a nice promotion at work, one of my student loans have been paid off, and now I am looking at buying the most expensive christmas present ever.
More of the News....

Thats right; the scary move of buying a house. If everything goes as planned, the big move will be a week before Christmas, December 17, 2003. Stay turned for more news on the house.

So wish me luck, and I am certinally open to receiving house warming gifts, or donations to help me pay off my student loans so that I am no longer house broke from anyone.
