Because Life Keeps Going

Glimmers
Sometimes life just gets to be routine. I think we all experience such periods, where time passes but nothing seems to be happening. Hell, some people like it that way, but I don’t. I need change. I need substance. I need life! Typically, I have those things—but not always.
Lately I’ve had one of these periods, almost since the time I finished my master’s degree in 2009. Sure, I stay busy, learning all I can about the things that I hope will be helpful in my career or at least in my hobbies. I’ve designed and helped edit two books. I’ve also been applying for jobs off and on, but believe me, there is nothing in that process that feels like life other than the slight hope of landing that perfect job. And that hope isn’t always there. Sometimes it’s just… Read More ➤
When I Ruled the World
I pride myself on having no regrets or resentments in life. Every single thing that has ever happened to each of us makes us who we are today. If you’re truly happy with that person, then every struggle and every joy was well worth it. And I am mostly happy with who I am.
But this doesn’t mean I don’t miss a few opportunities I once had.
When I was a kid, I pretty much ruled my world. Everything was there for me to see, and there seemed to be few limits! I’m not saying… Read More ➤

Just a tidbit to let the world know I’m alive.
Spring semester just ended, and the graphic arts/book arts/literary show was Thursday. Good times for all! Summer session begins on Tuesday, so I had only a bit of rest. This summer I’ll be taking “Advanced Digital Foundations” and “Flash Animation.” I’m excited about those. I love the digital stuff! But in fall, I have to hunker down with…

Terror and Excitement
Okay. So lately I’ve been rather excited about grad school, mostly because the degree is right up my alley: English and Publishing with a concentration in digital design. I love digital design, online publishing, and publishing in general.
I’m also terrified because it’s all new, and attending won’t exactly be easy or cheap. It’s an hour’s drive away, and I’m still working at… Read More ➤
Counting…
Let the countdown begin:
I graduate in 19 days 17 days 15 days 11 days 4 days 1 day (officially) DONE DONE DONE DONE, DONE! Except now I get to wait for my transcript to be finalized (one grade hasn’t posted) and then I get to wait until August for the degree in the mail. Read More ➤
Screw you guys, I’m going home… almost.
I finally got the grade for my independent study! That ensures my 3.0 cumulative GPA for graduation. Not that it gets any reward—my rank sucks, and that’s key to any kind of recognition. I don’t even qualify for… Read More ➤
This again?!
I feel like I often make this kind of post this time in the semester. You know, the “where in the world is Glenn” post. Quite simply, Glenn is busy. In the next few days, I have to: Go to Read More ➤
The end is near…
On Tuesday I’ll embark on my final journey at UD. My last semester. My last two classes as an undergrad. My last two classes with juvenile, flip-flop wearing, cellphone yapping, gum-chewing, slutty dressed, over-perfumed, superficial, AbercrombieZombie, Ugg-wearing, sex-starved dingbats. Will I miss that? Hell no.
I’ve been on the verge of screaming at the little brats for a long time, wanting to break their spirit by telling them their life will amount to little more than unhappy marriages, debt, and taxes.
I’ll miss UD though. Sure I’ll still… Read More ➤
To Quote Aunt Esther: Hah’glory!
It’s official, after many semesters trying to erase the evils of 3 D’s from over 10 years ago, I have made it. The 3.043 means I’ll almost certainly graduate with a 3.0 or better. While that doesn’t matter to UD, where only a… Read More ➤
