As you can tell, I haven’t updated my website in about 6 months. I would say half the problem lies with me being distracted by other things while the other half lies with the fact that my newscript (the thing that allows me to post my thoughts on the web) has been broken. Don’t be fooled, it’s still broken: I’ve sucked it up, and I’m doing this the old fashioned way: I’m editing the output file that the script made. By the end of the next week, I will, hopefully, be using a new system of updating my website!

First let me note that this is: The 6th Anniversary of Kooz.net!!!!! Six years ago, on this day, I founded kooz.net and started this crazy adventure! No one thing in my life has given me more shit than this website! Everyone goes “Why haven’t you updated kooz.net?!” (So let me take this opportunity to shout out to Sweeney: SWEENEY!) as if my website is an important part of their life: well, it just maybe!! Ha!

As you might have known from my last post, my sister Debbie was pregnant and I was thinking about going back to school. Well, Debbie had her little girl last month, and her name is Alicia Marie, and she’s a real doll! And yes, I did go back to school and I started a master’s degree in Instructional Design and Learning Technology! It has been easy so far, but next semester should be quite a challenge! And now for some other news: I moved to Belleville, IL! A buddy of mine, Doug, from Truman State/APO days bought a house out here and is giving me a great deal on rent! Plus, this place is the ultimate pimp pad: inground pool, bar with cold beer on tap, poker table, pool table, and two big screen tv’s! It’s like living in a sports bar! And, it’s located near the Metrolink stop here in Belleville, and I can ride it to work! Well, I’m keeping this brief because I have to get ready to par-tay tonight as it’s NEW YEAR’S EVE!! PEACE!
