Honestly, trying to be productive today. However, one of my Officers told me “there was no discovery” for a case. No discovery means… uh… that you did nothing. You saw something, arrested the p...


Today I have posted 2 Political Articles… well… shared, really… and no personal articles. To be frank; this may be my new norm going forward. Who knows? There is very little way of knowing wha...


So… as I work, I’m going through and reading old entries… I’m 5 pages behind. I’m getting my work done fairly well but I want to write, too. So… survey? Be honest; name of the last person to te...


Well… balls. Last night I didn’t get to sleep until after midnight. I still planned on waking up at 6:30 to come to the office to do some work. I woke up at 4 am for some odd reason. The reason...


I will be writing this in short little spurts. My internet file storage is acting unreliably so I’ll plug away at this entry while waiting for things to load. Note: Some of this will make me se...

Sunday in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

I am currently in the ISU Memorial Union and hour early for a new firm event. The event is a career fair for Chinese Language Students. LOTS of Mandarin flying around here. Though the firm ha...

My Own Excitement, Anxiety & Stress I am presently in that weird competing emotions place. I am excited to move back to Central Iowa. I am excited to be nearer my friends and living a life...


Wrote a political one today. Nothing brand new, really. Stuff I’ve said before. Stuff I’ll say again. So here is a ridiculously short personal one. (1) Yesterday was a County Holiday but a St...

Dude in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Apparently, I am already reaping rewards from getting us back home! I mean… wow. Hooray! Funny thing is… I am 100% certain that, without taking the path that we have, Wife would not be this w...


Interesting things that happened today… well, today but not this year… 2016: China announces it will relocate 9,000 people in Guizhou province, before completion of world’s largest telescope (FAS...


It is funny. Knowing we’re leaving; the majority of my apathy is gone. Like… I’m working towards something and I’m excited. Which is funny because I come into the office and… I still feel apat...

T Minus in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

I start the new job April 3rd. Which gives us approximately 6 weeks to take care of things. Of course… not sure how quickly Wife will get transferred. So… there is every reason to believe that...


The title is the closest thing to Click Bait that I’ve ever done and I only slightly apologize. But I had a thought that I couldn’t exactly discuss with people and I wanted to investigate cultur...

After careful consideration After speaking with Private Attorneys After discussing it all with Ran I think I am going to accept the job. I informed wife that I was going to accept the job and… gr...

I had set my alarm for 5:30 am so that I could wake up, shower, eat breakfast, and get to work early to take care of some things I had wanted to take care of during the weekend (but couldn’t due ...


I had plans for this weekend. But as is often the case, plans don’t come to fruition. Friday before leaving, I checked with Ran on how things are for him and his wife since they decided to move i...


I was going to write something about my personal biases… but I kept writing exceptions to my own biases; thereby suggesting that it isn’t as much of a bias. Breakdown: I have long had problems w...


Nothing much to write first thing of the day except… I woke up from quite the dream. Not sexy or fun, either. In the dream I was discussing my trip to Europe that I took in High School and I wa...


Oh boy, here I go bitching again. But wait. I tried, am trying, really hard not to bitch. Not to sit in… well, I have to sit in the shit; but I’m trying to keep my mind occupied otherwise. It...

Today should be interesting. I have already demonstrated my ability to be less adult than I should be. I woke up at 6:30 intending to eat breakfast, shower, head in to work early, and be a super ...


This isn’t unusual and it isn’t unheard of but it always strikes me. We have someone who is literally dying of liver failure on a week long bender. This woman is entirely a slave to her addicti...

My favorite band. I’ve bought tickets to two of their concerts… attended one. Funny story about that. It was back when I was a telemarketer… I sold batteries over the phone. Batteries. Like...


Internet is, once again, on/off/on/off/on/off throughout the office. Hooray for government work (sarcasm). At least this gives me time to work on my Disconnected Dinosaur Run Best Score. I ...


I just remembered that I forgot to do share something I wanted to remember! Clearly, Des Moines was on the brain. After spending two days there with Wife… having just had an interview in Des M...

And back again. It is a little bit funny, it is a little bit sad, that the mere fact of returning here makes me feel bad. The weather is much more cold, my body pains much more bold, my soul fe...
