Lol this is a really late entry... But on March 5th 2009 I finally turned 21. Yes the big 2... 1... I was happy to finally tell people at my work place that I was old enough to be able to drink and finally be accepted as an adult at work lol. Haven't gone drinking yet so that's one thing that I'm going to try and do around St. Patty's day if I get a chance lol.

As some people out there know I'm Irish so St. Patty's Day is one of my favorite holidays out there. Yes I also love Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day (for the chocolate), and the 4th of July. But for some reason on any type of holiday I just have to have some deliciously sweet to make me feel like that day is really a holiday lol. I guess I just got a sweet tooth that just needs to be satisfied.

Well the reasons why I wasn't on DA for awhile or just kind of logging in and logging off is because of these things in my life: 1. I just at the ending of my college class (for Chapman University) and my final presentation, final essay, as well as final test is coming up. I'm not to sure what to expect on the test since our instructor hasn't told us nothing. So coming up next week I'm going to ask her all the questions under the sun. For I demand a good grade in the class so I'll be able to graduate at the end of this year in the fall or winter... Imagine at the end of this year I'll have an associates in Liberal Arts. Sounds good to me. 2. Work has gotten me coming in about every single day... including the weekends... I tell you I love my job... but sometimes it really does take the joy out of my life. 3. A+ Certifications because I got to get my A+ Certification before May of this year. I'm just praying that I get it before May of this year lol. I'm nearly done with the whole course but I still got about 40% to do. I have faith in myself but I get really nervous before the tests all the time lol.

Also I'm having some problems logging onto my myspace... Recently I've been requesting them to send me my password but they never do. So I'm guessing that I actually got to remake my account since for some reason I just can't access it anymore. I hope that I can still pull up my old myspace page and be able to take all of my band groups on my favorites list so that I don't miss out of the band groups that I love to listen to.

Besides that my dad is coming up here at the end of the month. So I'm really excited about that since I haven't seen my dad in two years. Me and my dad are pretty close so it's going to be a blast for me to know that my dad is coming up here to stay around me for awhile. Besides doing his own things since I'm going to be working when he comes up here. But I just hope that things will go accordingly to plan once he arrives.

Other late news is that spring has finally arrived up here in Washington state lol. Which is a good thing for me because, even though I love the snow of winter and the biting coldness. I'm actually able to exercise by running outside more often now instead of being couped up in a room and going out only when you need to for work. I tell you on base it was bad... they wouldn't really let anyone out of our barracks rooms because the snow was so deep. So in other words we could only come out when we had to eat and then we were ordered to go back to our living quarters.

Truthfully on my part, I've only seen snow the last time I was 3 years old and I believe I was either in Penn or West Virginia during that time. But yeah the snow was maybe... a foot high when I was 3. Up here in Washington state it was the snowiest winter in 20 years. And practically everyday for the whole month it was like a foot to 3 feet of snow!!! Talk about a winter wonderland lol. If you wanted to go hibernating, that would have been the best time to cuddle up and sleep for awhile. I mean I loved the snow and everything but being called in to work all the time kind of took out the fun of my whole winter experience. Also the winter pictures that you see was the only break I actually got out of my whole winter season up here in Whidbey Island.

Oh yeah and for the people that asked me about that road that I took pictures of. It is called Oaks Dr or Oaks Road. It is right next to the main high way I guess you could call it that connects to Deception Passes Bridge Road and just continues to Whidbey Island. Trust me just stay on that road and sooner or later when you pass that grill on the side of the road you'll see Oak Road or Oak Dr. in no time. I hope that helps you out in what the name of the road is.

Besides that I wish you all a wonderful spring! And have a great day!

PS.: Also if anyone has any good information about art editing programs for linux that I can either buy or download for free off the net... I would really appreciate it! For at the moment I'm trying to look for something better since I just have recently switched my os from windows xp to linux. I appreciate any of the help or comments that anyone has for me thanks!
