Obama’s minions decided to make a photo op over New York City. Someone at city hall was told about the stunt, but never passed the info along. Not surprised. This is the first video I have seen regarding the incident. People can be heard yelling “Run!” and “Shit!”

This is what it is like to live in New York post 911.

It’s been several months since I have written a post for my blog. School and work keep me busy almost 60 hours a week not including study and homework time. I just wanted to let people know that the best way to keep track of what I am doing, since I don’t update the blog very often, is to follow me on Facebook or Twitter.

Facebook is the best place to follow because a lot of the family and extended family are also on Facebook. I have 33 family members that are contacts on Facebook. It also is a great place to share photos and videos. This should not, however, take the place of the Kinfolk gallery. You can follow me on Facebook by clicking the profile badge below.

Twitter is the place if you really want to know what I am doing now. Twitter, for those not familiar with it, is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent  messages.  People write short updates, often called “tweets”  of 140 characters or fewer.  These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.

You may have notice that my Twitter tweets have been posted on this blog as a weekly post. This is to remedy that fact that I am not very active on the blog.

  • Happy Easter! #
  • Done with simulations for the week. Simulations suck. I learn more doing the prep paperwork than I do at the sim. Oh well. Almost done. #

  • Starting my paper. Hoping to bust it out before work so I don’t have to worry about it over the weekend. #
  • Abbie says, “Dad, don’t try to be like you’re that awesome.” #
  • Almost half-way done with this silly paper! #
  • 3/4 done! #
  • Why is there a bunch of neighborhood kids playing in my front yard? Where are their parents?! #
  • These are the kids that are going to be on drugs and pregnant in their teens, because their parents don’t watch them! #
  • Done with my paper…and four days early! Who said I am a procrastinator? #
