The Tools.

Here are the tools I used minus the freezer bag melter but plus the phone which is not pictured here: And here is the project sans finish work: Tomorrow this blog will have something far more interesting to read so brace yourself.

The last thing.

The last thing I want to do in this blog is lay out an endless list of boring day to day operations like this: Today, I am going to to install french doors in the walkout to my patio in the basement. This involves cutting out part of the wall and bolstering the side for strength and moving the wires that some jerk put in there! If you feel you gotta, you may view the before pictures below. I refuse to answer the question, "Why do you have two brooms out there?" so please stifle the urge to beg that question of me. I am moderately certain, sorta that I will post after pictures as well. So I will try to avoid boring posts like this but right now I am inundated in projects and there may be another like this or two more. Do not despair, just skip ahead.

Thank you.

I have student loans and medical bills and it is difficult to pay everything every month... But... I work for myself, I have a degree and at least three skills, and most of the time, I enjoy life. Thank you God for everything! What prompted this 'thank you' is the video for this KickStarter project . I don't have much to complain about.

Uh.

I am involved in something that I am weirded out about. I have a pretty big problem with it not quite at my core but kinda near it. The path has already been set so I am going to let it play out but I am disturbed by it. More about that later! My rainy day where I got to do the stuff I wanted to turned out to suck immensely as I was forced into running around in circles and ended up painting the basement. I hate painting. Later in the evening though, I made major headway on my first paid android programming job! Weeeee!

Jot this down

Personal notes to myself personally: I don't intend to post here a gazillion times a day, but blogging is still new and fresh and I do feel the need to fill this sucker up. Some of my posts will be notes to myself so my research doesn't get lost in the messy sea of icons on my desktop or lost on my stupid Facebook timeline! Here is a list of stuff I don't want to lose today: App ideas Marketing tips Not done evaluating this link App submission Writing guides Programming Difficulty 5.9 watt computer http://mylikes.com/ Scary timeclock Hurray! I can delete them off my desktop now! As soon as I figure out what to name my note posts like this one, I will and you can ignore those posts so as to avoid getting accidental incite into my messy mind.

I'm not doing that.

Today, I was going to put up a fence and weed wack a yard and now extenuating circumstances have forced me to take the lazy route. I have been struggling with laziness for a few days now and although I don't want to succumb to its influence, I am going to. Now when I refer to laziness I usually mean "the desire to not do stuff you should be doing" which is actually the meaning of irresponsible. Although I can't do those things I don't want to do, I have every intention of being industrious anyways. If I look at it closely, I can see my mislabeling it laziness makes me think I'm doing better in laziness because my laziness is actually industrious. Its a lie to help alleviate the guilt I feel for not doing this thing I don't want to do! And that thing I don't want to do is leave the house! Ok so I don't want to leave the house and I feel guilty about it and I don't have to because it's raining outside! And it looks like those trees ar...

5 Free Android Games That Stay Installed on My Phone There are a lot of choices when it comes to games for your phone or tablet and finding a real gem you love can take time. Frankly, I am tired of Angry Birds and I didn't like Temple Run so I search way past what any distribution site recommends because I know there are games out there that are not uber popular but are addictive to play. Sadly when you get into the nether regions of Google Play, Amazon or BlackBerry App world, you find yourself wading through sewage mostly but I have found a few great games off the beaten path. The following games have not been uninstalled from my phone. WordzUp! This is literally the first game I ever played on an android phone. Designed like Boggle where you find words in a cube of jumbled letters. My wife loved that game so much that she would commandeer my phone every day when I got home from work. I had to buy her a tablet to stop it. Robo Defense Now I know this one is not unk...
