Never let anyone tell you that owning your home is a good idea. its not. I was working at westport making good money for 4 years before thinking about buying. we went into a sweat equity program it took about a year and a half for us to get through the approval process just as we were breaking ground on our new home westport started doin g layoffs. we were at the point that if we were to back out of the program we would have to cough up 25k, i didnt have that money so we stuck it through. The program assured us that the USDA will work the payments around your income. 3 months after moving in I got laid off and 3 months after that started working at walmart for 10k less a year. I asked the USDA if they could lower the payments since we could no longer afford the payments, they basically told me they cant and tough luck. fast forward a year later and I am once again un-employeed, now I am working at OlyPen making about 3k less than i was at walmart. We are 10k behind on on that now…I have no idea what is going to happen. I dont care about losing the house. I just fear being 30 with 4 kids and a wife and living with my parents, just as much as my parents fear having a family of 6 moving in with them. thinking about getting a night job so that we can catch up and fucking my body over on energy drinks for a year. at first it was to make ends meet and since I have been hold up all this stress and fear its more because I just dont want to be around my family. I just unloaded on alisha because I was on wows website trying to get my old phone off the account (code locked) and she made a joking remark. now i am ignoring her killing my earbuds with dubstep and taking out my feeling on my poor keyboard. happy fucking mothers day. now I am off to the store to pick up the pics alisha ordered.

This was an attempt to do a time lapse using my A550 with CHDK. I have not attempted something like this since since it was several hours of editing and video rendering. This 5 minute video is over 8000 stills. which I could only render about 2000 stills at a time into the avi file. which took awhile. Final editing was done in Windows Movie Maker on XP.
This has been one of the hardest parts of this class is coming up with a personal brand. I dont know if it is because I am over thinking it or what. I guess I just have to redefine brand in my head. To me when I hear brand I think of a business. I really don’t plan to go into business for myself so branding that way is hard. Then I thought about it a bit more…personal brand could be more like..well You. Your personal brand is who you are. I am KrAzyKarL. My interest and hobbies are as random as they can be. From Dungeons and Dragons nerd to Surfing. I chose a image dice because dice are random.
Oh look a banner! That is all.
In my media class we are doing a week on wordpress. In that time, I will be updating and changing the layout. Sounds like a good excuse to do it.
OK so I really am trying to keep up with this blog, for all my readers (yes all three of you). So what have I been up to…well I finished summer quarter with a 3.7 GPA. In HS I never saw a GPA over 2 so I was stoked.
Here are some things I am up too lately.
- I got anew job! I covered this in my last post. I work for a local ISP in their tech support department. It’s minimum wage, but it is in a field that I want to go into.
- School. Fall Qtr is really kicking my butt. Th load and stress of working fulltime and also taking 15 credits of online classes is really getting to me.
- Baby update. Alisha is still preggy. Hopefully She will pop soon.
- New project at work goes live in a week and…ya….it might be ready.
There is alot more. I just really need to post this since I started writing it in August.
Squeezing some time in to update my blog today. Things are really crazy around here. I started school and it is going great. Also, I HAVE A JOB!!! Shortly after I gave up on looking for work I found work. I do tech support at a local ISP in Sequim. Today was day 2 of the job, so still have a ways to go before I have an opinion on it.
Ok an update on weight loss. Alisha has become lactose sensitive, so good by milk products. I am not convinced that this is a bad thing. Even when I eat cheese or have some milk my stomach hates me for it. I have also been walking more. So far this week I have burned 1k calories just by walking to school, and the bus.
My weight went up to 286 and now its down to 281. I have a smaller appetite so I am eating less, and moving more.
Back to homework.

I just wanted to say that I took a break. My weight has been steady at 283. Life has been dishing it out in droves the past couple weeks so I have not been really in the mood to walk the dog….School starts in a week so maybe after that I will get back on it.
This is a test of the automatic sharing tools. If this was a real post it would be more interesting.
Welcome to my new blog! I have been using a blogger blog but I was un-happy with the lack of options I had with it. Enjoy.
