Some time has passed since I have last written. My world has become beautifully filled with glorious occupations. I have been working at a local radio station doing sound engineering for a live music radio show. There, I am having so much fun. Also, I have recently begun to question my future employment at the Clearview library. I am being treated as a child there and have been reprimanded for, what I understand to be, doing my job. I fear I may soon quit. I may change to the High Planes library district. They are hiring, I have a connection with someone who works there, and they pay nearly double for the same job. I am very interested to see how this portion of my life will turn out.
      But enough complaining. I am further delving into the joy of music. In the past two months my music library has doubled in size. I have also recently discovered I have a larger vocal range than I earlier thought. I can now sing most songs in the key of C where before I was putting everything five half-steps down in the key of G.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         AAAAlso, I continue to volunteer at the Be You house. Everything I speak with Monika I feel as though I am one of the the founding fathers, plotting revolution. There, I have begun writing out an idea I had about a secret postal service. This idea is slowly becoming a novel. My favorite part about the story, though, is not the main character or the various philosophical allusions I make. My favorite part is the main character's trusty sidekick, a cat named Mr. Fiddles. He is, by far, the most vivid  of the characters in my mind. This story is the first time I make an attempt to display some form of romance or romantic attachment in my writing. I am finding it to be somewhat of a cathartic experience and a way to help me organize my thoughts about my own past amorous entanglements.

Rather than go to the house today, I went rock climbing with my sister Tessa. After climbing for more than three hours, my arms possess an inherent limpness which no amount of massage can alleviate. I like the exhilaration of climbing and the precise technical skill involved. Also, during my time climbing I got a call from the volunteer director at the public broadcasting station in Fort Collins, KRFC. Apparently, they are in need of people with electrical engineering experience. My time spent working at the film school has made me perfect for the job. I need to begin keeping a calendar again. My time is beginning to become filled again. This, is a grand feeling. Having things to do is important to me.

Today, I walked with Brett to Walmart (not my choice!) which was a good five mile round trip. As we walked we discussed go-cart design and various engine types. It makes me want to build something! At any rate, a good day.

Yesterday, I helped change the design of the Be You blog  Lab Connections. Over the year or so since the blog has been up, it seems to have accumulated a large amount of links and videos that are unnecessary. I am still working on it and learning how the blogger design tools work along the way.

Yesterday, I finished the rough hewing of the 3D model of the city of Loveland. I also got my brain working on possible ways to make the pairing of mentors to students more efficient and usable. I am discovering an intense love of music. I was asked, "what is one thing you can't not do?" My only answer was listen to music. I am exploring this path.
    I have also gotten a new phone which has proven both a fantastic time-waster and somewhat challenging to use as a phone. I am learning to type all over again using a touch screen. I think I've got the hang of it now.

Today I continued to create the 3D model of downtown Loveland. I have completed nine blocks thus far. Linda, a woman who, for some reason, has been designated head chef for the Be You House cooked a delicious turkey dinner for us all. I also watched a video about a new sort of economic system revolving around Game Theory, today. This video made me realize that I know nothing about economics and I feel I should endeavor to fill this blind spot in my knowledge.

Today, I worked on creating a Google SketchUp of the city of Loveland. I have six blocks roughly hewn so far. I like having a project to work on. Having something to focus on is comforting.
