I decided to take a COMM 001 class for summer and that proved to make me pretty busy most days.  I was in class from 0700 to 1020 M-TH and that didn’t count the time I had to invest in reading, studying, and writing speeches.  All in all it was a great class, I got an A+ in the class.  Too bad the + does not show up on my transcript.

Aside from class I also had work and family obligations so naturally this blog took the FAR back seat, behind everything else more important.  Class does not start again until the end of August and for this semester I am taking Algebra (I’m a math retard), Business 001, and Microeconomics 001.  A full load of business classes totally 13 credits for this semester.  Nice!

Recently Danielle and I took a day trip to Disneyland.  We had a blast.  We got to ride almost every ride we wanted as well as eat at the Blue Bayou, inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (thanks Bill!).  We also went to House of Blues and for $54 we got a drink and a shot each.  NEVER AGAIN!!!!

We recently saw Despicable Me.  This movie is AWESOME! The characters are great, the story is great, and I was LOL’ing through most of the movie.  Sometimes I would be the only one laughing though, haha.

That’s basically all I’ve been up to, over the last month I have neglected the Lodge and Shrine, due to schedule, but I’ll be back this month.

I get in the center lane and this CHP cruiser whips into the next lane over and next to me. He’s keeping pace with me (which isn’t much, maybe 25 MPH) and I hear “Hey Brother…..HEY Brother.”

I look over and he says “Where did you get those Mason symbols on your car?”

I tell him they can be bought in San Carlos. He says he cannot hear me. So I say “Let’s pull over and I’ll tell you.”

We pull over and he’s next to me and asking me about Masons telling me his Father in law is a 33? and currently lives in Mexico. He asks me if I am a Mason and then tells me that Masons run the world, he’s done the research.

He wants to bring him some Masonic stuff so I gave him Lindenbergs number and address in San Carlos. He drives off and so do I.

Not really that exciting of a blog, but interesting none the less.

I’m getting ready to finish up the semester and on 6/7 I start the summer semester in school. I’m taking Intro to communication, public speaking. I’m pretty good at public speaking so it should be cake.

I am also working on a paper that seems to be consuming my mind like nothing else. I’m doing an I-Search paper which is research meets commentary, it’s a pain in the ass. I’ve written it and re-written it and I either have too many facts or too much commentary. It’s due Monday, I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow. We will see.

On the bright side, my Mom bought me a brand new MacBook Pro this weekend. I told her I would pay her back when I got my equipment allowance from the VA, but her and my step Dad said no. It was super nice of her to get it for me, it’s an awesome machine.

In June I am going to Reno for a big Shrine ceremonial with the Reno Shriners, it should be a lot of fun. I was hoping that I was taking my candidate, but he decided to move on that day, lame.

I saw Iron Man 2 this weekend and I typically post a full review, but I don’t really feel like it. It was a good movie, but it was not as epic as the original.

Anyway, the Giants game is on, back to baseball!

I think it’s because it’s coming to the end of the semester and it’s only my 2^nd since I got off Active Duty and it’s been the most boring of the two.  I have History, Math, and English.  Woo, yeah, fun.  I have not been sleeping well either, I don’t know why.  It’s not that I’m not sleeping, it’s just that I don’t feel rested when I wake up.

I’m fully motivated to succeed, just this week I am not motivated to sit in class.  I’ll be making my way there shortly, but am in no real hurry.

Actually, I am in no hurry at all.

Today I changed my focus to business, with a concentration on Management Information Systems.  It basically ties business and IT together.  Except it’s not IT in the capacity of installing print drivers and e-mail accounts, it’s real deal IT that helps make the company move more proficient.

This puts me on track to graduate in 4 years.  If I can make some work schedule changes, I may be able to cut that down to 3.5 years.  I won’t hold my breath though.

As far as changing my job goes, I am starting my own business.  Not some multi national corporation that has stock at like $40.00 a share, no, I’m not Apple.  I am going down to the County Clerk to get certified as a registered Process Server.  A Process Server well serves documents between attorneys as well as from attorneys to clients.  They know at the door and say “Hi! Are you Captain Falcon?” and when you say “Yes, I am!”, they would typically respond with “I have some legal documents for you”, then hand them to you and leave.

I know it does not sound like much, but it pays well.  $60 per service in the local area, anywhere from $75 to $100 per if it needs to be rushed or to go outside of the county.  Danielle works in the legal field and I have a friend who is a Lawyer and State Referee and both have promised to give me clientele.

It’s not going to make me rich, but with any luck I can get enough work to quit the cigar shop and do my own thing.  If I quit the shop I can take more classes and graduate quicker.

It’s time to move forward.
