Finally a new post.....

I know as many of you have pointed out, several times :), it has been a long time since my last post. I have no really good reason why I have not posted lately guess I just got wrapped in other stuff I guess. Things have been going really well. I've settled into my apartment and am enjoying having a place to get away from things.
Some new things in my life. I bought a laptop recently. Its an old Pentium II gateway comp. Its a bit slower than Im used but its nice to have a bit more mobility. I have moved up (or down depending on your perspective) in my level of geekdom by installing Linux on it. Im using the Ubuntu release of Linux and so far its been good despite a few frustrations with getting it on the internet. Installing drivers can be a bit more complex than with windows. So I'm having a friend come over and help get it set up for wireless so I will truly be free. Thats right I will join the countless masses sipping a latee and staring a computer screen in a coffee shop. I'm actually thinking it will make my ADD brain be a little more productive but we shall see.
Things have been going pretty well with Chi Alpha. I hate to get into the numbers game but we have grown quite a bit since last year. Im helping to lead a small group in the dorms and its been going great. My next newsletter will probably be about that although I may just go over the retreat as well, I'll just see where my whim and or the spirit takes me.
On a more persona note I have been playing alot of guitar recently. I'm going through a pretty creative phase at the moment. As far as reading I know the books IM reading have not changed in a while but IM still plugging away. I currently sucked into " It Does'nt Take A Hero" its the autobiography of General Norman Schwartzcoff. Im not usually a biograohy reader but hes lived quite an extrordinary life. I picked up the book at a goodwill about a year ago to have something to read on a plane and just never got to it. So there you go an update on whats been happening. I know its a bit flow of consciousness like but I figured its been such a long time Id give a big slice of my thought life.
