Well...here I am on my computer on a Friday night. I'm not disappointed in that there is no late night activity; just stating a fact. One week of work is complete, and I have much to say about it.
I have yet to get into a routine. Every night, I go to bed at a different time and I convince myself that I will attend church at the 7:00 service before driving to work- but I do not always wake up in time to go. Only two of five times have I attended church in the mornings: once because of my own will power and another because Melodie Hills called me to wake me up! Hopefully I can learn my lesson before next week begins.
Usually, my semi-routine goes like this. When I wake up, I fix myself a lunch to take to work, shower if I didn't take a shower after swimming the previous day, go to church if I wake up early enough, then go to work. After work, it's usually about 17:00-18:00. I eat a snack then depending on what is going on, I either go to the pool to swim laps for about an hour, read a book, mess around on the computer, or just shoot the breeze with my roommate. Then after 21:00, I make/receive phone calls on my mobile phone to catch up with my friends around the country. Then I usually read some more then head to bed. I then do it all over again.
Work is unbelievable exciting right now. Within the building that I work in are two modules that will be attached to the International Space Station within the next two years. Both modules serve to house people and experiments within the vast vaccum of space. One module is called Node 2 built by the Italian Space Agency and serves to be a "node" for other modules to be connected. The other is the Japenese Experiment Module built by NASDA (the Japanese Space Agency) whose purpose is to allow experiments to be conducted, especially with placing experiments in space for lengths of time. The reason that these modules are in my building is so that we can test them hooked up together to see if they will work properly before launching them into space. The Node 2 has already been tested independently, but this is the first NASA testing of the JEM.
On my last co-op, all of my group was preparing the procedures for this testing of the two modules. There was really nothing that I could contribute to the process of creating procedures, because I do not know anything. So instead, I created a useful webpage to be used in my group. This time is different. I am right in the thick of it all. I am sitting at the console next to one of many Test Engineers running the test and get to go to the High Bay (the place where the modules are kept and powered up). Today, I got to sit inside of the JEM, for about 3 hours, supervising some Japanese techs perform the steps in the procedure. The whole time I never stopped thinking that in about 2 years astronauts from around the world will be floating around in this module in space! It was quite a humbling experience.
Another interesting aspect of this test is that NASA is closely working with NASDA to perform the test. To my knowledge, NASA test engineers wrote the steps to the test in conjunction with NASDA counterparts. This process took a little more than a year. Now, to perform a step, the NASA test engineer calls out a command to the NASDA test engineer. The NASDA test engineer then translates (although most of the Japanese are familiar with English) the command to Japanese to the Japanese tech who actually performs the step. The thought of at least 100 Japanese engineers from NASDA coming over from Japan to perform this test truly proves the ISS as INTERNATIONAL! I only wish that I knew Japanese so that I could speak to these people.
For those who are wondering, I am still sleeping on an air mattress. It's really not that bad, and I probably won't get a real mattress just so that I can say that I slept on an air mattress for 4 months. I may change my mind after chronic back pains begin. Currently, the only furtiture in the place are foldable camp chairs. My roommate and I plan on going to some thrift stores tomorrow to pick up a couch. Most of my room is still boxes. That probably won't change; sorry Mom.
Looking back on this past week, I am beyond blessed. I have money to buy meals, I have a healthy body that can walk to the beach anytime and gaze toward the next piece of land, which happens to be Morocco Africa, I have a continously unbelivable job where I have the opportunity to see things that most dream, and the list goes on. I appreciate everything that God has provided me. It is only through Him that all these have occurred; I will never forget the source of my joy!

First Day of Work
I received all of my computer parts on Thursday. Needless to say, my best friend Murphy also paid me a visit (he warns me that whenever something can go wrong, it will). You would think that whenever new things are bought, they would all work properly...that wasn't the case. I put the whole computer together when I received the rest of the parts and it booted correctly. When it came time to install windows, it kept crashing, so I knew that one of the pieces of hardware was broken, but didn't know what: it could be any piece of hardware in the computer because they were all new to me and I hadn't tested to see which pieces worked and what didn't. I supposed that I trusted the fact that new hardware should work. After about of a day and a half of testing and troubleshooting, I found out that one of my sticks of RAM is bad. I'm going to send it back to get it replace. I'm glad, however, that everything else works flawlessly. I can't complain that my computer boots up in less than 60 seconds after pressing the power button.
I began work today, so I'm excited about that. There is a lot of testing going on now, so I will be able to be involved with that; I hope to learn a lot this semester. It seems that nothing has changed since I left about 4 months ago. Even when I moved down here, it feels as if I never left, that everything is just as it was when I left it. That's one of the wierd things about moving between cities, it's an erie feeling that I have spent 4 months somewhere else totally different, but when I come back, it's all the same. It'll be the same when I return to school.
Last night, I got internet access on my new computer. It is dial-up, but I'm not complaining. On dial-up, I can do most of what I want to on the internet. It's only 10 dollars a month, so it shouldn't hender my budget too much. Also, I discovered that we have free cable service in our apartment. My computer allows me to watch TV and with the DVD player, movies. No more boredom for me!
With the new internet and a computer that finally works, you should be expecting more posts.

Waiting for my new Computer
Well, I got half of my new computer in the mail yesterday. I am expecting the other half of it today. (a computer is not much good without a processor, RAM, or video card). To the left is an attempt to post the HTML code for a TagBoard, which Dave kindly signed me up for. Apparently, the Tagboard website is down for the moment, so I don't know if it works or not. I'll be testing it in days to come.
The days have been going by quicker than I thought. I can't believe that I have already been here a week. I suppose that I learned how to slow down and not be busy all the time, so that I could stop and appreciating life.
With my computer I also got a digital camera. Pretty soon, I'll be taking pictures titled, Sites of Cape Canaveral. I'll post them on the Lubbers site for you guys to see. By the way, when's the last time someone posted something on there. (Speaking of posting stuff, I have to post the pictures of the pranks that my beloved roommate and star of the band Hybrid Squirrels pulled on some other friends. The pics are very funny!)
Anyway, my 30 minutes on this library computer are up. Time to go home and wait for the FedEx man...

Now in Florida
So I'm finally able to access a computer to add another entry. I am now moved into my place in Florida. It is in Cape Canaveral, which is just north of Cocoa Beach and 40min east of Orlando. My condo is unfurnished, which can be depressing at times. It's a 5 minute walk to the Atlantic Ocean. Just last night, I enjoyed one of the most beautiful sites that I have seen in a while: a clear sky on the beach where stars were not shy to show themselves.
I've had some things to say since I last posted an entry. I've been keeping my thoughts the old fashion way until I could get on the internet and post them.
First off, the family vacation went very well. We all enjoyed ourselves at Cocoa Beach, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, Universal Studios, and Universal's Islands of Adventure. Initially we tried to go to Tampa to visit the beach (on the opposite side of Florida from Cocoa Beach) but it was raining cats and dogs that day, so we moved to Orlando where we stayed in a hotel for the rest of the week. Our vacation ended Thursday when I drove from Orlando to Cape Canaveral and they returned to Louisville. I moved into my place Thursday morning.
When I initially moved in, I couldn't stop laughing because there was no furniture. I wasn't expecting any furniture, but seeing it in person made me laugh outloud for a long time. The reason I found it so funny was that it was almost sad that all that was in the "family room" was a phone book, a Patch Adams movie, and a piece of mail addressed to my future roommate, all sitting in a small pile in the middle. Ohh, also, there was a foldable camp chair in the corner. That was it. I walked into my room, nothing but the quiet hum of the airconditioner unit. I walked into my bathroom and there was nothing there as well, not even a shower curtain. Needless to say, I went to Wally World and purchased many things- specifically something to sit on. Now, do not be worried about my sleeping arrangements because I did, in fact, bring an air matress, which isn't that bad after my back got numb from the pain of sleeping on it.
I have also found saddness in the fact that I have so much time and really nothing to fill it up with. Here is a list of things that I have come up with, shoot me an e-mail if you can think of any thing else...
Swim in the pool, Read the many books that I brought, Go the beach and skimboard, Run, Cook meals, Do pushups, Practice guitar, and Sleep.
That's it. And that's supposed to fill 24 hours each day. If I do not find some sturcture in my days, I will fall into a slump of depression. I moved in August 14th and I don't start work till the 25th. So we'll see how it goes.
I've heard many stories about how there is always something going wrong in the neighborhood that I moved into. Not two days after I moved in, there are three cops parked in front of the condos looking for some robbers. I'll let you know of any more interesting stories.
I'll also be keeping track of what kinds of food that I eat, so that I can remember what I have fixed and so that you can get an idea of my eating habits, if you are interested.
I purposly left my computer at my parents house in KY, planning on buying a computer sometime in October. And yes, I have found out that living without TV, CD player, and Computer is impossible for me. All last semester, I would watch some TV show while I ate my meal, but now I just have to eat in silence. I've gotten used to listening to music while I read a book or do other things, but now I do it in silence. And having to walk 1 mile to the library to use the internet or any computer function is getting old. So the October date got moved back a few months to last Saturday. I must admit, I splurged on this one. I, in the history of buying computers, have never really splurged. I've always gotten the good deal off of ebay of a used computer part that was top-of-the-line last year, beacuse prices of computer parts are exponential as you get to the best parts. This time I didn't do that. All parts are brand new and when I get them and put them together, it will be faster than any retail computer. Here are the specs:
P4 2.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD, Video In/Out Video Card w/ TV Tuner, DVD Burner, 17" LCD Monitor, Digital Camera (I've needed one for a long time)
Looking at these specs, it doesn't seem that fast of a computer, but the details of the parts is what makes them fast:
800MHz bus for the processor means that the processor can recieve information twice as fast as other computers, Corsair RAM is Dual DDR which means theoretical double performance, HDDs have access time half that of standard HDDS which means theoretical double performance and SATA interface and are in striping RAID configuration which means another theoretical double performance increase, Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card with 128MB ram which is equal to most retail computers' system ram, Sony multi-burn technology allows multiple formats to be burned (DVD-R and DVD+R), LCD monitor that can handle up to 62 frames a second without blurring, and a nice 5.2 megapixel Sony Digital Camera with a 128MB memory stick.
Anyway, I'm excited to have this computer coming in. Once it is, I will be able to blog more often, listen to my music, watch TV, watch movies, and check e-mail as often as I like. It should be arriving sometime this week.
Have you ever had dreams that seem extremely real and are usually about the future (possibly insight as what is to come)? These are not wierd dreams that are wierd situations that you have no clue how you got in them, these are dreams that you keep dreaming because you want to find out what happens and even when you do wake up you keep thinking about the dream the entire day. Well, my first real dream occurred this past summer and was about the end of the world. As it happened, nuclear war killed the entire planet and as a result (you may think it to be arrogant) I went to heaven and the remaining of the dream was me searching for people I knew to see if I would get to spend enternity with them. Well, the other day I had another one that involved me getting married. This topic has been on my mind for quite sometime: when will I meet a girl that I can marry, when will I have time for a girl to get married to, when will I get married, will I get married? All these things keep running through my head and each time they do, I try to stop them by reminding myself that everything will work out. Even after that reminder, I still find myself wondering. The dream, however, was wonderful. I had such a sense of relief to finally had found my match and get to live the rest of my life with that person. (That is how we are made, to find our match...hence the cliche, "You complete me." It's true, your match will complete you and compliment you in all areas.)
That's all from here. My time on this library computer is running short.

After Vacation
I arrived back home last night from the Nolin Lake trip. As always, the trip was a blast. My body is sore from being tossed around on the innertube and my stomach is full from the good meals.
After one last good night sleep in the bed at my parents' house, we are ready to depart for Florida. My parents are not sure where we will initially be going in Florida so we are playing it by ear.
That's it from Kentucky. Now off to Florida for the next 4 months...

Before vacation
I'm sure that everyone knows what it means to be a slug: the sunshine of dusk makes one wither and pull the covers up closer to the head, eating cereal with Bob Barker and Al Borland, and having no purpose but to make one's environment dirty. When school is out, I am a slug. (Those who know me best know that going to school doesn't change the fact that I'm a slug.) I have been a slug for 2 days now. It gets bad when I can't tell you what I have been doing for the past two days and I have to look at a calendar to even see what day it is. All I know is that rain has been coming down outside between rays of sunshine.
Exciting things, however, are happening in my life. Tonight consisted of packing my belongings- most of which were still in boxes from moving out of the dorms last week- to prepare for vacation. The family and I will be traveling south to go to Nolin Lake for about 2 days then head more south to visit the Sunshine State for about a week. Plans for Nolin Lake include riding on an intertube being pulled by a speedboat, then withstand the couple of Gs that result from the boat swinging the tube aroung in a circle. It's hard enough trying endure the acceleration when the boater pulls these tight turns, but when you have gone in a complete circle and come upon the waves that the boat has created going 20-30mph, it's hurts! It is, however, a funny sight for bystanders. I enjoy watching others get flung up 10 feet into the air and still try to hang on, then get smacked by the water. When I do it, it happens too fast to realize how my whole body hurts. Sometimes I save myself the pain and just let go before the "ride" gets worse! For those who wish to relax on their vacation, we will also be water skiing and kneeboarding. In Florida, we will be visiting the beach and Orlando, host of Universal Studios. I've never been to Universal, so I'm looking forward to that.
After the vacation, I will remain in Florida to begin my 2nd co-op. There will be about 2 weeks of kill time before starting work on Monday th 25th, so I hope to read many books and enjoy the relaxing life of the beach.
Wish me safe travels...

Frisbee and Chicken
Is it possible that I have avoided death? Or is it lurking aroung the next corner, waiting to kill me unsuspectedly?
While playing ultimate frisbee at Waterfront Park, I made a run towards the endzone to score. Meanwhile, my teammate tried to throw me the frisbee but overshot and consequently went into the Ohio River- the frisbee, not my friend. To make a long story short, I jumped into the river and retrived the frisbee. Yes...I jumped into THE OHIO RIVER, the most REPULSIVE river in the Southeastern United States. Needless to say, we won our ultimate frisbee game.
Death was only a matter of time.
At noon today, hunger struck- as it always does- so I attempted to prepare a meal consisting of chicken tenders and grilled chicken taquitos. Preheat oven to 400ยบ then place in shallow pan for 8 minutes. Those were the directions on the box of taquitos so I decided to cook both the taquitos and chicken tenders together. After 8 minutes, I used an oven mitt to retrieve the chicken. After getting catsup, I sat down and began to eat- first with the taquitos to see how they tasted. They were good and I ate some more. I then bit into a chicken tender and thought that it tasted a little funny, but I remembered it saying "Italian Style" on the side of the box. I concluded that the taste was foreign... do you get it? After eating a whole chicken strip and half of another, I noticed that the chicken wasn't cooked at all. Apparently someone decieded that it would be a good idea to put non-precooked meat in a box without stating so. Then I checked the box and there it was..."CAUTION: FOOD IS NOT PRECOOKED." I've always wanted chicken to be my last meal, so without a second thought I put the chicken in the oven and cooked it some more to prepare my final meal.
Death was only a matter of time.
Throughout the day, I was wondering when I was going to die and then it struck me why I was still alive. The following equation came to mind:
[Ohio River water + Raw Chicken Meat ] =Clean Water ≡ Source of All Life! = Poisonous Water ≡ Source of All Death!
I thought that I had solved it, but it turns out that I'm really going to die really soon.
Death IS only a matter of time.

First Post
Thanks, tovrax, for introducing me the idea of transcribing my many states of mind.
I'm looking forward to keeping somewhat of a journal. Hopefully, divulging all my thoughts will be a means of people to keep tabs on me. My goal is for this site to become a similar situation to that of The Truman Show (starring Jim Carey). If you don't know what I'm talking about, go see that movie...it's great. Maybe advice to certain situations or dilemmas may be submitted by "viewers," kind of like an interactive book or video game. Or maybe FOX will see this site and create another reality series where people can submit predictions of what will happen next in my life to win money...then give me 1 Million dollars at the end for kicks. Only God knows what the futures of my life and, consequently, this site are.
Happy August!

Or maybe FOX will see this site and create another reality series where people can submit predictions of what will happen next in my life to win money...then give me 1 Million dollars at the end for kicks. Only God knows what the futures of my life and, consequently, this site are.
Happy August!
