All these things we do

the meanings we have yet to know, hoping they will plant the seeds of a greater understanding. Yeah that's just a poetic way of saying, here I am sitting here listening to a song in french. And does it even matter if I ever learn french, I don't really think so, the music is enjoyable. But it's true, I think there are so many things we do without realizing their meaning, or do they even have meaning, or perhaps the meaning will be filled in later, then we have the words to give meaning to the actions.

In the beginning he blogged

okay well it wasn't actually be beginning, it was more like what 3 years ago, I'm not certain and I should probably check the dates really. Maintain the continuum and all that. Speaking of which, I have in mind an up and coming project that I may need help with. So if who knows me personally still periodically checks my blog, which I have not posted on in quite some time, please contact me regarding a biographical work I have in mind. So yeah it was a few years ago and I did blog semi regularly there for a while, partially out of boredom, I was working at Acute-Hell at the time, and was in from of a computer all day with very little to entertain myself beside the interweb, an occasional jigsaw puzzle or book. I spend a while working on the dimensions of perception projects, which was to random and chaotic to do much with but seems likely that I will be able to use some of the seeds in future developments. Some of the ideas, themes and theories I explored with that have grown and evolved for me as well, and I may even begin to explore some of them here. But for now I think I will post an update, a kinda where are you know. (now that I have sufficiently rambled)

So if you don't know me or if you do, here are the facts. My name is Zachariah, this year I turned 31 years of age, my son Michael turned 9 this year. I currently work 4 days a week in a retail outlet, putting milk eggs and cheese on the shelf. I also attend Lane Community College, where I have started working towards an Associate of Arts Transfer degree with this intent of perusing further degrees in the field of education. I say this tentatively as I am aware of how plans can change. My hobbies as of current, still include riding my bicycle, which I do less often now that I attend school and it is easier for me to hop on a bus. Reading, I just picked up Hunters of Dune, which is the first of two books that are to conclude the story written by Frank Herbert, his son Brian has written this book as well as a number of prequel books to the series. I am interested in the content, but because frustratingly disappointed at time with the lack of subtlety and nuance of the writing. For example, in this book there have been at least three references alluding to The Odyssey, Frank would have maybe thrown one in there and let you catch it if you did, whereas Brian seems to want to spell it out for you. Gar! Oh well like I said the content is interesting, and I may write further review of the novel at a later date. So, I am attending class at Lane 5 days a week, my classes include Tai Chi, Sociology, Electrical Theory 1, and Basic Communications. After this term I will have a total of 28 credits, 4 from Fall of 2002, and 12 from Spring 2007. This year will be the first year I go the full school year, and make school my primary focus. I was very excited when I learned that I have a bit over $7000 being given to me for the year for school. Other then that my life consists of social interaction with some people I've grown to cherish as much as learned to tolerate. I have a few friends that I carry out ongoing phone conversations with and that has been great. One thing I struggle with right now is that I don't get much sleep, which I am entirely aware is of my own doing. Oh yes, I know have a laptop, so I would like to get into the practice of blogging more frequently, I have a lot of thoughts that have been left internalized and that are ripe to be explored. Also wanting to decide of a medium for my spanning project, again I will need help with this one, so be prepared for a few questions regarding yours truly.
