So I have done a reallllllly poor job at updating the site, but until school is over I am just too busy. I'm busy enough with just work, but school on top of it leaves no room for fun (unless you count school).

However, here is a links to Sally's website. It has pictures on it.

SAlly's Blog

Also, Anya's blog is back up.

It's not so much that I don't want to update my blog as much as it is the fact that you have to do it on your computer. After spending 8-10 hours a day on the computer (even on weekends) it's hard to get back on for fun stuff.

However, I promise I will post some kid pics soon.

Believe it or not New Line Cinema was just dissolved by Warner Brothers.

I still have a lot of friends who work there. I hope that they are okay.

...by any stretch of the imagination, but this country will be worse off in the next presidential administration no matter who wins.

I like a man who rules with a certain amount of humility. If this had been Clinton he would have made sure that everyone knew.

Bob Geldof Interview

In case you're not sure who Bob Geldof is, he's the guy who started Band Aid, Live Aid, and is probably the biggest advocate for feeding Africa.

This global warming is freezing my buns off.

Legends on the history of nearly every holiday are obscured by what they have become -- that is, modern day adaptations of legends. However, all we can really act on is the here and now of those traditions and as such I choose a modern interpretation.

So about my valentine...

I've been married for 16 years now to the most wonderful woman in the world. There is no point in bringing up every wonderful thing about her because I would inevitably leave out some very important fact, but I do need to point out a few basic things that make her so special to me.

Judy...
...loves me, I mean she really loves me and I have never had to doubt it.
...has ALWAYS supported me no matter what the circumstance or risk.
...has been an excellent mother.
...is a hottie.
...is the best friend anyone could ever have.
...will be here until the day I die.

I can not express how lucky that I am to have her in my life.

So busy

I've been working hard and it is paying off. I am losing about a pound a week and have finally broken the dreaded 220 barrier.

Though I haven't lost as much weight as I would like, my body fat percentage has gone way down from almost 26 to 21.4. So now instead of being obese I am only unhealthy.

Where as 6 months ago Judy was trying to buy me size 40 pants, my 36ers are now big enough for a belt.

By the way.....



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY!!!!

Not in Iraq, but in Montana!

It looks like the investor is going to come on to the Jerkysoft team. So what does that mean? That means that Brandon went from crazy busy to completely insane busy. This is what I have coming up:

* A major software release this quarter
* A major software release next quarter
* Men's retreat for church (of which I am an organizer) in two weeks
* I start teaching my class for U of Phoenix in two weeks
* I start teaching for SKC College two weeks after that
* That same week Mission Valley Archers (of which I am on the board) has a huge shoot in Polson
* A week after that I have a sales conference (which I am partially organizing)
* A month after that we head to California (maybe) for business and pleasure
* Then the MVA has an even bigger shoot in July
* I'm also working on getting 501c3 status for the MVA
* I'm heading up a ministry at church that involves going into the community and doing building projects that desperately needs to be overhauled.
I'll sleep in June. When it rains it pours.

I act all stressed, but these are really the times that are the most fun.

It'll be just my luck that next week we'll get that Navy contract that we did a proposal for last month.

The Patriots used to be my third favorite team, until the tuck. After that they were my least favorite. It was so beautiful to see them humiliated last night. I loved it!

Now on to the important part. We had a house full of people, the girls stamped upstairs and occasionally looked at the TV while the guys stayed downstairs. I had the game on the big screen at about a 7 foot diagonal and running stats on the other screen at about a 6 foot diagonal.

The surround sound was on (obviously) and had two TVs in the bar wired into the game as well. It was pretty awesome.

Next year for football I'm going to have to go with an HDTV projector and the HD Sat package. At that point we're looking at a 12-13 foot diagonal.

Woot!
