I don’t post much on this blog any more, I’m just too busy with life and projects and other blogs to keep up with it.. Its sort of sad in a way..

Think different for Mother’s Day

April 24 0 Comments Category: Events, Personal, Whatever

I’ve never rally been accused of being a part of the crowd. But for Mother’s Day I usually cheap out and give my mom a piece of jewelry that I made (its cool – I’m really a jeweler, but you knew that), or a plant that she will manage to kill in short order. So [...]

I haven’t had much energy to write the last few months.. Yes, this is going to be a personal entry so those of you that don’t care, skip on..
So the year of 2006 is to go down as the most brutal year I have experienced to date.. Even worse than when I thought my [...]
