How I did it
How to finish my taxes
It took me
700 days
It made me
Taxes suck!!

How I did it: 1040 form and a very large eraser.  I'm not a fan of big government, or taxation, or anything that requires me to give my time spent for hard earned dollars to people who cannot manage their own lives, much less our country. Read how I did it…

build a stone wall
I've started 3 months ago

Just started working out the measurements. I’m pretty stoked! It should be cool in the end. There’s a grade, a dip, and some other issues that need to be overcome, which I think will only make it look that much cooler. I’ll post pics as things change.

take control of my life (read all 3 entries…)
Taking control is hard... 3 months ago

Looking out over the decisions I am making in the next year, it has occurred to me that taking control is indeed very hard. Sadly, I’m not sure my relationship with my wife is going to last. There are so many ways we are good for each other, and yet, there are so many ways that we both have become worse off than before we knew each other. In the final analysis, I think we are bad for each other. 10 years is a long time to throw away, but another 20 years wasted on top is insane. In the words of Tagome from King Arthur, “I will prepare.” just in case.

write a book (read all 2 entries…)
How fun this has been.... 3 months ago

Well, I’m not at 95000 words yet, and it is well past Christmas, so I haven’t met my goals, however! I have written about 25000 to 30000 words so far, and have totally enjoyed the process. I’m now part of a writers meetup group which is very supportive, and the story has taken so many twists and turns, that it looks nothing like my original idea! But it is so much better. What a very enjoyable process. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll get published!
