So Justin and I were having a little discussion the other day. I made a comment that he was one of my significant others. By strict definition this would be considered an important person. Justin said we are far from that definition for our current relationship. So I wanted to take a little poll with the people that know us best. And if you don't know us, or at least don't know Justin, here is a picture to guide your decision making process:

A couple nights ago, my mom made dinner. Steve, mom, dad and I sat down at the kitchen table for the first time in what seemed forever. Usually the only time we eat together is on the holidays or a special occasion. For these occasions, we eat in the dining room. Now, back at the kitchen table our family of four were accompanied by a comforting strangeness. Ironically, most of our dinner table discussion was about time travel.
Talking about satellites, the relativity of time, the speed of life constant, and the hadron collider in Switzerland... we ended up agreeing to disagree. In any respect, the conversation was stimulating as time travel is always an "appealing" concept.
Kellie and I just finished the entire Heroes collection. There is a character in this TV series named Hiro Nakamura who can control the space time continuum. As the series developed, the importance of preserving this continuum became more apparent. If disrupted, the "butterfly effect" occured.
What would happen if time travel were available, would you use it?
I spent some time today paging through the history of this site. I guess you could say I was paging through the history of my life in the process. From its very beginnings, from one rich thought to a bland one, through periods of the highs and lows... this site really clarifies my personality. Unfortunately you need to read through nearly a thousand entries to reach this conclusion.
What makes this site amazing is the experiences. Events, incidents, people... no matter how insignificant. Essentially this site is a portrait of my life. Every word a pixel, every thought a color, drawing a picture of the person that writes this here today. The struggles, the successes, and the love; if anything were to change, I would be something completely different. I would never, ever want that.
I love my life, every single part of it. I am extremetly grateful for the past because it brought me to the present. So thank you Blue Shallow, for keeping record of where I've been. Without you, I may not be the same person I am today.
Now traveling to the future, that's a whole different discussion...

In the short time Kellie and I have lived at the new house, we've had to experience several pests. Just so I don't forget all the troubles we've had I'm making a list today of all the animals/insects that have caused us a problem. I've also listed where they were a problem and if they are controlled or not.
- Ants - In yard and kitchen counter - Controlled
- Garter Snakes - Under front step, along foundation on side of house. One found in the house. Controlled.
- Bat - Living in Patio Umbrella - Left Alone (They kill 600 mosquitos an hour!)
- Moles - Destruction to front and back yard - Currently Battling
- Bees - 1 hornet nest, 2 yellow jacket nests - Controlled / Eliminated
- Deer - Visit yard occasionally, eat vegetation - Left Alone For Now
- Mice - 1 big momma, 8 smallies - Forest controls inside, Dad controls inside access
- Woodchuck - 1 spotted June/July. Appears to have moved out of the yard. Control status - Pending. Live trap removed. Considering ammonia-soaked rags at entrance of potential den.
- Robin - Attacked our kitchen window for a straight month leaving excrement caked onto the outside. Nesting season over, therefore Controlled.
- Chipmunks - Created vast network of tunnels through landscaping and along foundation. Allowing nesting sites for snakes. Currently Battling.
- Raccoon - 1 time visit the first night the live trap was put out for the woodchuck. Left Alone (they are my favorite animal).
- Bald Eagle - Sounds silly, but Velma is baby Eagle food so we have to be careful.
- Neighbor dog - Apparently dog aggressive. Found in our fenced in yard. Patched the hole in fence w/ chicken wire. Controlled.
- Box Elder Bugs - All over front of the house when we first moved in. Treated with a common flea/tick preventative for dogs/cats. 1 Application = Controlled.
