Like how Iraq was mission accomplished 5 years today, I too felt accomplished. I was just about to finish high school and I hadn’t even decided on a college. I was though flying high, mission accomplished. I had recently regained trust by my parents and summer “adult” freedom was ripening on my tongue.

I forgive Hilary for voting for the war. If was voting on mis-information too. Grownup had arrived. Today I know I have a lifetime of growing up to do.

So I am reemerging not to fill the spaces of the pages but to fill some parts of me that I too often look elsewhere to. I know that my mission isn’t accomplished and that I’ll consume lots of coffee to get there. The reset button is close by, could you push it? No, just a soft reset. I don’t want to lose everything.

Lets not fault Bush for calling a war or even calling it to a close super early, lets fault him for not listening to the experience and learning from it. Get out of there!

It is hard. It is what defines his stay in office. Victim to simple quick fixes, time is a difficult illusion. The longer you stay in it, the further you fall face first into reality.

I have spent a lot of time recently on MBA applications. It has been a while since I had to so craftily praise myself in front of others; it was never this specific. I am defending passion and my future career plans. In definition, I have gone through a transition. Unlike the addictions of war, I have turned the red tide. What are you surfing on when you need something else to keep the momentum?

We are not alone for a reason. Use your developing intuition and growing heart in sync to determine self-motivation. Look to those you know to be real sensors of your being. At the very least there is a technique that is simple to surf through the rougher and lonelier times.

List accomplishments of your day, w/o your minds side commentary; if any slips in, you are forbidden from making further note of it at all.

Today:
•  Entry to baited blog
•  Made progress on scholarship guidebook at work
•  Speedily organized home office
•  Felt reemergence of China-fondness
•  Large Mexican latte instead of small

Find your coastline and ride…summer is coming whether you want it to or not.

After about a week of technical issues and bunch of wasted time, my end of the site is back up. On your end you may not have noticed much except a few more error pages and/or slowness. I barely had access to the administrative side of things, which meant no posts or often not even being able to log in. Thanks for you patience, there is so much yet for us to share.

As grad-school and job applications are around the corner, I’ve been less able to keep to the schedule of the blog. In addition, this past weekend I was away at a conference in Boston. I should soon be back on track and I apologize to all of my readers.

Look forward to: A look into the newest Netvibes release as well as some life commentary.

I realize that I have yet to announce the winner for the remaining $10 Amazon.com gift certificate. There is a four-way tie! No, this doesn’t mean I have $40 to dish out. It’s a run off! The four remaining contenders will be left in the poll. This time you will be able to vote once each day. Please VOTE by Monday.

User greggcostanzo was a stand out above the rest when it came to enhancing and building conversation on the site. Thanks! He’ll claim the $10 prize. Some honorable mentions that I strongly considered were burtdewilde and firepointe who have a consistent conversational presence on the blog. Also a few people played a integral role in really enhancing a few entries and bringing out the topic. Below are a few examples and a great way too look back at some 2007 entries:
