Then I had a bit of a surprise. Lily was born! So I took one of the pages that I was going to use for new photo’s and posted pictures of her for the family’s and friends to see quickly. She had a rough start so this page kept everyone up to date on her medical status, not to mention the new pic of the moment. Then I realized that the rest of the site was a mess and needed desperate re-working so I just dumped it.
After the photography sank, I suppose I needed another creative outlet (before that I was writing short stories). Before Napster was shut down practically, I was able to scavenge some different music files. One of which was from a new band called Mudvayne. I had heard of them in an article in Revolver magazine. What a bunch of freaky wierdos. Anyway I rather liked the song so I bought the CD out of morbid curiousity. After hearing the Mudvayne CD for a bit I truly began listening to the bassist Ryan, Ryknow, Rud, or whatever his name is this week. I truly heard what I would have become had I never put the bass down. That did it. I need to get back in the woodshed and work those chops!
Now as if I actually had extra time on my hands, I figured I could complicate my life more so by enrolling in school. I enrolled in Cape Fear Community College in the Electrical/Electronics Technical department. I took my placement tests (I am a math moron!!), paid the tuitions and off I go! I think I am doing rather well though and I do enjoy it thus far and it's the first time I've made straight A's on anything. Imagine me making Dean's List. I shall end up being an overeducated electrician or an undereducated Electrical Engineer. Anything is better than running a register in a drug store. Ok Nearly anything.
