RANDY. doesn&#8217;t sound a thing like Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>Still trying to study more for the MCITP. scored my best yet, 67% on a practice exam; made some dumb mistakes where I out-thought myself. I hate that.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t even type enough to get all my thoughts out. Then again, who would care? Nobody cares.<\/p>\n<p>Mia grows. Unfortunately her sense of responsibility is nonexistent as of yet. It is frustrating to continually increase the amount of effort &amp; maintenance toward this child, and she still yet isn&#8217;t old enough to learn boundaries. well, maybe she is; but I&#8217;m not going to punish her for innocent accidents such as playing with the plug as I&#8217;m vacuuming. she wouldn&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n<p>Today I asked the wife if I could go out &amp; get some beer, she graciously gave me the OK. So, I quickly geared up &amp; made a foray to Friar Tuck&#8217;s. While I was in there, I saw these two fat nerds buying a 12-pack of Guinness. Obviously a couple of girlfriendless nerdy students. I thought to myself, &#8220;I bet those guys wish for girlfriends more than anything, they wanna meet that special someone, get settled down.&#8221; but I got really nostalgic for my single past. It made me realize, that, perhaps, I will never be able to live the free-wheelin&#8217; lifestyle that I used to. I didn&#8217;t really think I was free-wheelin&#8217;, but MAN was I. Of course, I think my wife helps motivate me to do things that I myself wish I had more self-motivation for; such as keeping healthy and staying focused on being a marketable individual with 1337 Skillz.
