Facebook is the new crack...

Lets see now.  Its been something like five months since I've been here last, and let me tell ya, they have been both awesome and crappy.  See, there has been a really big change in my life.  See back about a year ago, I started roughnecking.  I know, how does an IT professional go from that to roughnecking.  Well, when your brother in law is a driller, pretty easily.  Since he knows you and what you have to offer, or lack, he can be a little more forgiving in the beginning.  But I have proved myself to be one of his overall best hands since that time.  Now mind you, this job stinks.  There is really nothing redeeming about it.  The only good is the pay and the time off.  I work 14 days then I'm off 14 days.  That part is nice.  But being gone for 14 days to the rudest place that I have ever been, really, really stinks.  But I have to say the being home has been awesome.  I am however, very willing, able, and ready to get back in the IT game.  I've been gone almost a year from my previous job, and though I really had a lot to complain about, I now know that I really didn't have it all that bad.  Can I get a do over?  Please?  Don't get me wrong, I am very glad to have had this experience.  I am a stronger person now, both physically and mentally.  That part I am really proud of, and thankful for.  I have grown spiritually to some extent, though no where near where I need to be still.  I have a new found appreciation for my wife and kids, and for those that are home every night after work.  You know you think about it, I see my family more now than I did working 8 to 5, but not as frequently as I would like.  Its a bit of a mind job.  And to top it off, as I alluded to earlier, the people that live there are for the most part hateful and rude.  But what are you going to do.

Now that I have all that out of my system, lets get to the SUBJECT of this.  Have you been on Facebook yet?  I really wish now that I wouldn't have ever went there.  I find myself constantly wanting to check my facebook to see if anyone has found me, or if anyone has written on my wall.  Its kinda disturbing the way I think about it when I'm not online.  I'm not really digging that.  It has become my crack.  I have only been on it for about 2 weeks now, but I can tell this is going to be a long drawn out love affair.  Well, I need to finish packing, I leave out in the morning to go back to work.  Later.

A New Beginning...

Good Morning All, I am going to start trying to post every single day, with tech news, hacks, gaming, and the best part, scripture. I am a geek, and also a Christian. But above all I am a follower of Christ. I am a father, a husband, a friend, a coworker, a son, a grandson, a cousin, a liar, a cheat, a shameful mass, but because of my belief that Jesus died for me, and rose three days later, I am a son of the King, and a follower of the Most High. And though I am wretched, I will still go to heaven, not because of the things I have done, but because of the sacrifice Christ made for me on Calvary. Jesus, this is for you. Saw something cool on lifehacker today. They always have the cool hacks about well, just about anything. 6 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Amazed! - video powered by Metacafe Todays will save you money, trust me. Next on the agenda, the scripture of the day. I will be putting what the Lord lays on my heart here. Todays scripture comes from Jeremiah 17: 5 T...

Things to think about...

Weird day! I don't know why, but its weird. From the moment I woke up I knew that today would be odd. So far nothing has really said that, but I just feel weird. On my iGoogle page I subscribe to the Hack-A-Day widget, and love it. Most of the hacks are a little much for my liking. So that is to say, they take a chunk out of you day to make happen, depending on the project. But a few days ago is so simple, its sick. Its a multi-tool, or thats what the creator calls it. Its just a simple lock pit to me. Here's the vid: Someone lets the s-word out at the end, but you have to admit, that is cool. So simple, just so stinking simple. It just takes the right kinda mind to make it happen. Other musings now. My boss comes back today. Yea...... I hate this place. Okay, maybe not this place, but I am getting sick of it, and she doesn't help any either. She had neck surgery, so I hope she is doing well, I just wish she wouldn't come back. She just drive...

Hello! McFly!!!

Ah yes. The words heard round the walls of my mind as the Lord's voice calls. Don't ever think that God doesn't have a sense of humor, because you would be wrong. Why is it that people seem so hell bent on doing it themselves? Why do we want to rely on our own powers so much? I ask myself this question because I realize that I do it more often then not. And the answer is, because its our nature as humans. Thats part of the fall I guess. Once we realized the difference between good and evil, the flaw was placed in our hearts and then we "thought" we knew something. I realize that there is a higher power, and I believe in Him today. I realize that the downfall for me has been that I wanted to do it on my own. "Morpheus : Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo : No. Morpheus : Why? Neo : Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my own life. " That is one of my favorite quote, wanna know why? Of course you do. Its because it blu...
