Ok, I'd think that the topic of this posting basically gives it away... But incase you don't have an idea yet, I bought a Wii about two weeks ago and figured I'd give my quick review. As a matter of fact, I'm writing this entire journal on the Wii over wireless. To put it simple... IT'S PRETTY BAD ASS!!! Most of you know that I'm a pretty hardcore computer geek and don't exercise much but still manage to stay toned. Well, the Wii is certainly helping with that! It'll give you a great workout and the ability to play other old console games is KICK ASS. Well, that is all for now... Typing long paragraphs is certainly a bit of a workout in itself on the Wii..

Well, been a while since I've just written a ranting journal. So, for all of you people who seem to enjoy them, here you go!!

What is the deal with controlling boyfriends now-a-days? I write this because of, ya, you guessed it... I can relate because of someone I know is or has gone through this. Guys are literally idiots, yes, you did read my profile correctly... I am a MALE. The woman jokes or at least I take it as a joke, when she points out some controlling flaw. I personally call it a re-action to a physical event, but when analyzed, I could see that it could be a control issue.

So anyways, I write this for all the guys out there that may or may not know they are being controlling, attempting to be controlling, or your just a flat out loser and need to read it to figure it out. I also write this for the ignorant women out there that don't know they are with a controlling individual, dating a loser, or harming their family relationships.

#1 Family is family, not by just blood, but by marriage as well. That means that you trust and respect what your family says. You may disagree with them, but don't take it to heart, because they speak it out of love and concern

#2 If your single and looking for a good man, DON'T always pick them up at a bar

#3 If your single and looking for a good man, DON'T pick one that hasn't had a steady job in the past year. If they just got fired/laid off from a long term job, that's a different story.

#4 If your single and looking for a good man, DON'T pick one that thinks it makes him more of a man to say every day or any time he meets someone "I went to jail, because..." or "I was in jail, because...". The clue is... if they went to jail/prison for any reason and feels the need to brag about it... That's a clue to RUN like hell, cause most likely "and of course, statistically speaking", they will be back in jail within 1 year, especially if they are already a repeat offender.

#5 If your single, looking for a good man, and have kids!! DON'T force your kids to be around someone until they say that they want to meet them. There is nothing wrong with DATING for a few months, before you introduce them to your children. That doesn't mean sneak him into the house when the children are sleeping, that means, DON'T bring him around the house PERIOD.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with dating for a while. If you met someone you like and may like to get to know better, spend good hardy quality time with them, before jumping into bed with them and generating a seemingly long term relationship. Unlike many other things in life, we're use to having and doing things FAST! But you can't do that with a relationship, you need to take it slow... No, you have to take it slow. If you start it fast, it'll end fast. Think about it, now-a-days majority of marriages end within the first 6 months. People meet, fall in love, and get married within a month or 2. 1 year after they actually met, usually most couples are sick of each other. I say, date someone for 3-6 months before you even think about marriage, if you aren't sick of them by then, then think about how you could feel about being with them for the next 5-6 years. If you have doubt over 5-6 years, then let them go. It'll be easier on you and save a lot of heartache.

Of course there's a lot of hairs to split over what I wrote and many different senarios you could throw out there to attempt at contradicting this. But if you apply these bottom lines to a majority of your relationships and date a while before commiting to your relationship, I believe that you'll be a much happier person in the end...

Constructive reply's are certainly welcome...

Even if you disagree, thanks for at least reading!

As you can see, I have several new photo's up. These were all taken at Crane Creek during last months Internation Migratory Bird weekend. I have some more pictures of rare birds for our area. The story is, that during the migratory season. Thousands of rare birds migrate through the Ottawa Wild Life area off of Rt 2 in Oregon, OH. This probably is the best spot to stop and rest before traveling further north, due to being on the edge of lake erie. I hope that everyone enjoys these new pictures and I'll try to get more up soon.

Well... been one heck of a long time since I've updated any journal. Seems that most of my hits were coming from my journal entries alone. Had a few complaints about not writing any more... So here's one for everyone missing my writings.

We've taken a few trips since the last time I've wrote. The best was a month or so ago. We went out to hocking hills state park in Logan, OH. This was a spur of the moment trip, woke up and just felt like getting the heck outta dodge. Got a lot of nice pictures, just haven't spent the time editing them to add borders, etc... and upload to the site. The woman and I have been on and off the rocks. Right now it seems to be more off than on. I'm not going to write much on that, since we've basically not talking about the issue(s). Or what ever the heck it is... Honestly, I'm not even sure... The only thing I can think of, is that it's a trust issue. So I'll just leave it at that for now...

Lately I've been pretty worn out... I've been trying to make some life adjustments; such as, not drinking as much, not spending much time on the computer when I'm at home, unless it's work related or if the womans into doing something on her own, then I'll sneek a little game time in. I'd like to get some more traveling going on! Or at least more experiencing of different city lifes. I'd really like to start doing more projects around the house and stuff, but I find it hard at times to try and please everyone around, yet still accomplish stuff. Been pulling more hours at work as well... think last week I got inbetween 40-50 hours and this week I think I'll be above 50 hours, since we're working at least 5 hours Saturday from 5:00AM till whenever and then probably 9:00AM till 2PM Sunday.

Works been strange the last few weeks. I suppose it isn't so strange, since people have basically been leaving me alone on my own. So I'm making changes, etc... on my own. So it's a good thing that my supervisor, etc... doesn't feel the need to actually hover over me. Shows that the board is really trusting in my capabilities. We've been, well... I've been implementing new Proxy and Content Filtering systems due to growing abuse of websites and our computer systems. In turn, seems to be leading to a lesser amount of people hanging out around the school throughout the day. Plus part of the reason the supervisor would be laying off of me, more. Would be because of the new ohio governor is deciding to cut Private Colleges OIG/OCOG Grants, which affects 200 some of our students. We did get a great response from our school outting yesterday to columbus. But there's still a long fight left, in order to get the funding back on the board for us.

Well, just going to keep it short for now...
