Migration to Wordpress. A new phase for this blog

So, i was persuaded by my freind Kaitlin (you can find her blog here: http://runforsushi.blogspot.com/ ) to brush the dust off this blog. I am doing so in a sense. One thing that always bugged me with this site was the lack of comments i got. I really like blogspot's interface, but it's not user-freindly enough for me. As such, i am migrating this blog over to the link below.

zackcb.wordpress.com

this blog will still be left active, but it will no longer be in use. For all matters about my blogging abotu stuff in my life be it my last semester of college, or anything else, go to that link right there (the wordpress link).

I'll see you all over there.

the End of a blog

Hey all. I'm going to shut this blgo down for awhile. I'll leve it up with the URL still active. but some stuff has come up in my personal life that stems from stuff here this and stuff i've been ranting about on facebook over the semester.

Essentially, i just need to clear my head. I need to stop using this blog-space and the internet as my diary and until i can hit that point, i wont be posting here.


see you around.

foreshadowing my return

Hey all who follow this, i know i've been very absent from blogging for almost a month. I just simply havent had the time to take a chunk out of my mornings to enter something on here. I'm only enterign seomthign now cause i', skimming the Aeneid as i cant get into it and we're too rushed in going through it. anyway, thats a rant for another time. Here;s the point: if there is an update this week, it'll most likely be on friday, but dont expect one. more than likely, i'll put something up the friday before break starts, the 19th, as i wont be doing work that AM, nor will i be doing any that afternoon befroe i get the shuttle to dayton. so yea. I'll try and update regularly over break.

But after break things are gonna get a bit insane again. in that 2 week period i'm ognna have my senior presentation and a small presnetation for history of psych, as well as final papers and stuff to do. Oh and Dance Alloy stuff. so don;t expect much from me from the 28th- December 13th or so. but after all that finals stuff, i'm on break, so yea!

just wanted update you all.

A Reflection of sorts.

It seems this year, since about Mid-June (at least for me) has been a hell of a year. So much shit has happened that either i didnt see coming or just was just plain bad for either me or people i know. I'm starting to hope that 2011 is easier for everyone. A large part of this reflection stems from my good friend Kenneth's father dying the day of this post. I didn't know Kenneth's dad at all, but losing a father figure is very tragic and I've known Kenneth for the past 3 years, so hearing that this happened to him is very sad and its had a very profound effect on me.

so now lets rewind thorugh what else has happened this year to make this the year set on Expert difficulty with everyone struggling to keep playing the Game of Life. Earlier this semester my dad went under the operating knife and had part of his intestines removed. I was worried intensely about him the entire time and was still worried when he was convalescing in the hospital after. The enitre summer he had been having health issues after he got bit by a wild rat in june on vacation. we're talking hot flashes general sickness. i think that got cleared up, btu prior to that he had thyroid issues and such. I think thats fixed btu i cant remember. Then, just priro to my dad's health issues in June, i was taken in by law enfroecemtn on the island we were vacationing on because i resembled someone who some lady had seen take her beachbag the day before. yeah, thats a story, i'll tell people in person.

then fast forward to a week ago and that Freshman, Alec Henriksen committed suicide here on campus.

It's been a rough fuckin year since June. A lesson in staying strong if you will.
