No Time
I guess this will be a short post due to the fact that I seriously don't have very much time to do this. I was going to talk about being in a union but it took so long to get into my blog and my typing skills being what they are I don't really want to get into it right now. Sufficed to say I'm not all that impressed with what is going on. At least I'm under-worked and over paid!

Watch that first step....
So I saw the title of my blog listed on my oldest sister's blog Radial Symmetry and figured, what the hell!
Good lord so much has happened since my last post oh so many months ago. My wife gave birth to our third child, his name is Maxwell Dimitri. I have to say that is pretty well the over riding event of all others that have happened in the past 6 months or so. So now my wife and I have three kids, Imogen is the oldest, then we've got Declan, and now we have Maxwell. One more girl and we'll have a complete set. And yes we are going to have a fourth. I'm the third of three and someone is always the odd one out, which always felt like me. Also with all these people spending untold sums of money to do what my wife and I can just DO, it would be a shame, in our minds not to have more, when in fact, we want more.
We've been through an election and the good guys won. I mean in all the ridings the people voted for who they thought were good. I like having a minority government in power. I think it tends to keep the ruling party more honest and open to input than might otherwise happen.
You know I'll rant and rave about things to myself, while I'm driving the hour and a half to work one way, but as soon as i sit down to actually pound something out on my blog I'm completely bereft of ideas. Also, when I start to write I feel like my ideas are getting lost in my words. Probably has something to do with my sub-standard typing skills and not having written much in the past oh ten years or so since I've been out of school. So once I start down a path of thought, if I feel like the Idea needs more than a few sentences or a paragraph at most, I'll probably scrap it and start on something else. Something easier.
Though I suppose that's the best way to start something new. Go with the easy topics first, get used to putting ideas down on paper again, then go to the more complex thoughts that take time to fully convey. Though i have to say I'm really more of the type of person who gets frustrated when complex tasks don't come easily to me. It's part of a deep inferiority/superiority complex I've developed. I never feel like I measure up to others standards, knowledge or whatever but if someone doesn't understand a concept that I do I tend to think "what the hell is wrong with you? If I understand it, it can't be that difficult! Dipshit!" Harsh? Yes. The truth often is, right? Wait, I mean the truth about me being harsh, not the truth of people who know less than I do on a certain topic being dipshits. Okay, some are dipshits;....see what I mean about my ideas getting lost in my words?
Well, I'm working on it.
