What I have been up to

I haven't posted in a few days because I have been busy painting. Yes, I am an artist or at least pretend to be one. I guess I will share a few finished pieces that I have been working on.

I am pretty proud of these and there are plenty more to come.

Horoscopes

I for one check my horoscope every day out of habit. I think astrology is a fascinating practice and if fun to play around with. Sometimes astrology can lead to insight on certain subjects merely because you haven't thought about that angle. However, I learned rather quickly not to put any stock in what my horoscope says for that day. Then the question is why do I look at them if they are 99.9% wrong? I really can't answer that. Why do I? Let's look at my horoscope that I had today for fun off of yahoo.com

There's no going back on this endeavor. Keep a positive attitude.

That is a very general statement. Since today is technically over, being after midnight, I think it is safe to criticize this horoscope. What endeavor is there no going back on? Today I really didn't have much endeavors. I didn't do much of anything at all. I did keep a positive attitude though, but most days I do. So in essence, I think this horoscope is complete crap.

What about my horoscope from myspace.com?

It may be challenging to stay on track now, as Mars in airy Aquarius fans the flames of Venus, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn -- all moving through fire signs. There are major distractions in your life and you are ready for any one of them to turn into your next great adventure. Give yourself permission to dream, but don't float off into space. If you slip into fuzzy fantasies, just bring yourself back down to Earth.

This one is a little more whimsical. This is the type of horoscope that really gets people thinking. The funny part is that you start to fit the pieces so that they fit the horoscope. When I think about this horoscope, I consciously go through important events in my mind to check it against the horoscope. If it doesn't have anything to do with it, it just passes by and I move on to the next thing. Eventually, I can find something in my life to fit this statement. Does this make the horoscope true? You be the judge.

Apparently I have a great adventure coming.

Important thing she needed to tell me

What was it? I still don't know because she didn't call me back today. My personal opinion on the matter is that is must not have been too important because she didn't call me back. However, it still wasn't a nice thing to do. There was no need to get me all worked up about it and it only goes to further prove that women are evil.

I wonder what it is

Part of my story from the last couple years is that I met a woman, fell in love, got engaged, and then had a broken engagement when she left me. Why she left, I am still not completely sure. That isn't what is really important because I have been making great strides in moving on. I haven't talked to her in a while now. The only thing is that she called my cell today out of the blue. I left my phone in my bedroom so I missed the call.

When I come back for my phone a couple hours later, I listen to the voice mail. it was somewhat odd. She just said, "Isaac, call me back. I have something really important to tell you." I call her back and get her voice mail. It is now after midnight and she hasn't called back.

My opinion on the message is that it is really evil in a way. It is a cliff hanger of the worst kind. I am now left to wonder what the important thing is that she needs to tell me. It could be so many different things! I will also admit that hearing her voice left a small twinge in my stomach. I still hurt from time to time, but these days I am doing extremely well in that regard. Anyway, it is my hope that I will hear this important information tomorrow and I will definitely keep you posted.

Saying Goodbye to Women for Lent

Ever seen that movie, "40 Days and 40 Nights"? Well since lent is upon us, me and a friend thought we would bet we could do the same thing. However we included flirting just for added difficulty. I am not Catholic by any means but I have my reasons for doing so. I just would like to see what my life would be like without that added frustration that the opposite sex tends to bring along. Let's see how I do.

Meeting Update

Apparently, the person I left the voice mail with got confused by my message and thought that they missed the meeting. It is very amusing how it turned out. I am sure I will have something interesting to say about it tomorrow.

Fun Start to the Day

The back story for this is very complicated so I will simplify it a bit. I have an important meeting on Wednesday that basically determines the course of my job. It will also determine if I will decide to keep that job. I am woken up this morning from a nice, deep sleep by a knock on the door ans someone asking me if I had the meeting today. My clock read 12:41 pm. That sent me into a frenzy of movement because I had no doubt in my mind that it was Wednesday and I missed my meeting! The sad part was that the person who woke me up let me go on thinking I had missed my meeting. I found out about half an hour later from a friend of mine that it was really Tuesday. The kicker was that I had already left a voice mail on the company head honcho's phone apologizing profusely for my absence...

Great News

I decided that I would finally go back to school. Thankfully, I will be automatically re-enrolled to again attend the University of Tennessee. We will see if I can finally get all finished up.
