what might have been

I just finished reading a biography on Robert F. Kennedy. It's a shame that the world may never see a presidential candidate that even comes close to matching his integrity, honesty, and compassion. His hopes for presidency were cut short after he was shot by a 19 year old kid named Sirhan Sirhan (no joke). who knows what he might have accomplished. what a shame

employment

I finally got confirmation that I got the job at the patent office last week. I would have gotten it back on Nov. 14th but they spelled my email address wrong LOL. Now I just need to graduate. 16 more days..........

"Defensive player of the year. ... You're going to see some picks. You're going to see some heads getting knocked off. You're going to see some receivers retire. You're going to see everything you've been looking for."
-Clinton Portis speaking on Sean Taylor's 2007 campaign

Man, i remember his first exhibition game against denver on monday night. he had like 2 ints, one for a touchdown, and a forced fumble if i remember correctly. it was insane. and this was just playing one half of a preseason game!

These pics were taken when we went to redskins training camp in '05. i still have the ball he signed that day.

Wow I can't believe he's gone. All I thought about was having him recover so that he could play again. Forget football, now he can't even be there for his daughter. May he rest in peace.

"I just take this job very seriously," Taylor said. "It's almost like, you play a kid's game for a king's ransom. And if you don't take it serious enough, eventually one day you're going to say, 'Oh, I could have done this, I could have done that."'

wheels for legs

for some reason i can only function when im busy. im constantly compartmentalizing things in my mind and mentally setting goals and deadlines in my head. when im busy and only have so much time to do something i can always manage to do everything i want to do. but when im less busy its like i cant function anymore. over this past friday, sunday and monday me and jack spent about 25 hours building our prototype for 472, which turned out really nice (see pics).


i also worked on friday and saturday. and my aunt and uncle came down from michigan saturday whom i havent seen in like 9 years. it sucks that i can count on one hand how many times ive seen each one of my relatives, but i digress. i gotta wake up tomorrow at 7 to study for my electronics packaging exam which i was studying until 12 tonight for but yet here i am writing this. so thursday my group has a presentation for 472 and a paper due friday. then i have a logistics exam on monday. but after that i should be in the clear. at least for a few days. i need to play some soccer

Yes Dwight today is Friday

I was so excited to have my interview tomorrow with the only company I'm interested in working for right now, the Patent Office. It was all set, I was going to go to German class and then the gime (noun, definition: see gym) really quickly, and go home, take a shower, and then head up to alexandria for the interview. so after coming home from union jacks I check my email so I can find out directions and I see my confirmation info:
