well, the may tournament is jsut aroudn the corner. we played our last game of 15's on saturday, but then we didn't realize that it was going to be our last. we hve had som many injuries on the team, so the coach decided to cancle a gaom on the 12th, then our game on the 5th was cancled today by the other team. seems there are alot fo folks getting hurt out there this spring. as far as me goes, likeing the job so far, started the fourth week today. we were supposed to play D&D on the 5th, but I suggested we move to the 12th. now, we have both the 5th and the 12th off, but I think we shoudl keep it the 12th since that will be easier on me, and Brian will be back from his sexploits in europe. not much else going on. eat, sleep, work. seems my life is in a rut. well, taking the summer off from rugby. only three more weeks, and I will be on summer break. still working out, but no games for me. so, will see how it goes. maybe with the time off, I can get the links up, update the pics, and get my web page looking better. well, we will see.

well, let's see if this works. tried to put up a posting this morning, and it kept erroring out. anyway, started a new job on monday, and seems to be going well so far. still on the learning curve here. i like the fact that I can metro to work in stead of having to drive and put up with the traffic. no I just sit back and read a book while someone else does the driving. not much else going on, going to west virginia this weekend to geek out and play dungeons and dragons. so, maybe after this weekend, I will get really working on the talon page. already started it, just no link yet.

god, have I been bad about this blogg. so busy getting ready for my london trip, and now that I am helping out the rugby team more, I just don't seem to have time for much of anything. well, I start a new job tomorrow. working for a relatively new telecommunications firm. my old job, the one I started a few months ago, was kinda upset, but they put it on themselves. wouldn't update and put in a network. had a game yesterday, it was good, lost as usual. think coach bill needs to get overhimself and realize that this team is not everything he wants it to be. we still need the experience of play for alot of us to get the bugs out of our game. I know I screwed up a couple of times, but sometimes the decusions you have to make in a second seem to look different to other people. I know he was pissed that I was running around the field and he though I was out of position, but then he was too. at least I didn't give up and kept chasing no matter what the person was doing. I think I played better than I have in the past, and if the damn prop hadn't wingged me, could have been out of that last scrum a lot quicker. oh well, maybe I should look at another team. know that there are people in my life who want me out of rugby, but I don't think I can do that. oh well, hope the new job will make blogging easier. so until then, ttyl. (happy jimbo?)

ok, been having problems with Blogging since we got the dsl line. not sure if it is the dsl, or the host for my website, anyway, alot has been going on. havn't had time to start the Talon blogg, but hope to be doing that soon. got some good Ideas, and we have been playing alot lately. almost every week. what else? still hating my job. lookking fro a new one, but no nibbles as of right now. had a rugby game yesterday, actually, it was a scrimmage, and it was fun. played a position I really should not have been in, and that made it dificult. we lost our match secretary due to personal problems, so I offered to fill in for a time. don't think it will be too hard. just have to do some e-mailing. well, that is really about it for now. ttyl.

well, updated the site tonight with the help of Jeff (thanks!) can't hardly wait...one wieek till I'll be in england, or at least on my way! so looking forward to this. i miss the fact that i don't have web access at work. all my web page reviews are not getting their daily viewings. and i jsut don't have the time in the morning to look at them. but i must say that i get alot of work done because of it. look for a new blogg coming soon from me. it will be about my character from our dungeon's and dragons group. it is something I have been thinking fo doing for a while, and now I think i will. just need some time to sit down and write it all out. also need to figure out how to change the dates on these things so it can be in relation to the world he lives in. well, it will be a work of fiction, but hope you will enjoy it. probably won't be seen till after I get back from Manchester. hope that you will enjoy it. till later...

Seems like I barely have time for anything any more. saturdays are the only day I have off, and spend most of that running errands or just vegging on the couch. but yesterday I made bread. came out kinda good too. in a little over a week I will be on my way to Manchester, England for a week of rugby and fun :) can't wait to get out of here and have a break. work has been tedious and boring. still looking for a new job...anyone out there know of an opening for a Cadd operator in an architectural firm??
