All Is Well...

Well I finally made it home. Work today was pretty slow, and I was in a bad mood for no reason the first half of the day, but in the afternoon my project leader came by and told me I was doing a good job. It was random and unexpected, and made me feel quite a bit better about the day.

My friend took me home, and thankfully there was a break in the rain. I stopped by the local Safeway and picked up some Bass, a Jenni-O Turkey, and a Caesar Salad. I must admit, I spoiled myself a bit today. Blame it on my improved mood.

I showed a couple people my new exciting blog-space today, and the general reaction was "So What?" I don't really care what they think anyway, because I like to write, even if it's about the most mundane things.

For a long time I have wanted to start journaling again, but never have, largely because it is such a pain to find time to sit down and actually do it. The fact that blogs are computer based is ideal for a guy like me, because I am almost always in front of one monitor or another. Yep, I'm a real computer junkee.

Today I read some interesting articles about the U.S.S. Constitution or "Old Ironsides" as she is nicknamed, as well as some information about Fire Ants. I know that might sound like a strange combination, but I usually hit the news sites first thing in the morning, and from there I like to use Google to find information on any topics I come across that I have even a nominal interest in. From reading the articles about the ships, I found there was a whole lot of terminology related to the navy that I had never even heard of before. I still can't figure out what it means to "rake" or "wear" a ship, but I'll keep looking. I also found it interesting that the surgeons operating room floor was often painted red so that the sailors wouldn't freak out over all the blood on the floor.

Weird stuff. Makes me glad that I'm not an 18th century sailor, that's for sure!

Anyhow, more later, as I have to go eat now.
