I guess we have two. I'm not sure why. I'm going with pretentiousness. http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/comments?id=160 http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/archive/159.html Thu, 10 May 2007 01:41:13 GMT So I'm wrapping up my last day of college here. Just finished a paper last minute, and I've got another to get to before it's all said and done, but that last tiny step will be the last I take as a college man. College boy? College youth-whose-maturity-wavers-between-2-and-70-years-old? A million and a half (1,000,000.5) thoughts are whriling about in my head, but all of them unformed, just below the liquid surface of conscious reality, like seeing fish swim in dark water; they're certainly there, but you can never quite manage to look right at them. So will it... (more) http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/comments?id=159 http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/archive/158.html Sat, 10 Mar 2007 05:16:33 GMT So... ah... about this whole blogging thing. It's time to write again. In t minus 5 hours our four-person Engineers Without Borders team leaves for Antigua, Guatemala to begin a five day extravaganza of land surveying, people interviewing and site assessing. Thus begins our official relationship with La Asociacion Nuestros Ahijados (ANA), an international NGO which "seeks to break the bonds of poverty through education." The work for this trip includes (at the moment), Cut/fill requirements for a soon-to-be vocational center: Essentially they want to know about how...

Beginings of semesters, ends of semesters, various breaks, etc. This semester might've been the worst yet in a lot of ways. Most ways, I guess. Right now I cant think of anything I really even have to show for it, cept maybe a few more scars and a little more wariness. I got beat down in some ways, but I know things arent really that bad.After all, I'm going home. Praise. http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/comments?id=157 http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/archive/156.html Fri, 15 Dec 2006 16:25:19 GMT Advanced Global Personality Test Results Extraversion |||||||||||||||||| 73% Stability |||||||||||||||||| 80% Orderliness |||||||||| 33% Accommodation |||||||||||||||| 63% Interdependence |||||||||||||||| 70% Intellectual |||||||||||||||||||| 83% Mystical |||||||||||||||| 70% Artistic |||||||||||| 43% Religious |||||||||||||||||||| 90% Hedonism |||| 16% Materialism |||||| 23% Narcissism |||||||||||||| 56% Adventurousness |||||||||||||||||| 76% Work ethic |||||||||||||| 56% Self absorbed |||||||||||| 43% Conflict seeking |||||||||| 36% Need to dominate...

Week one: Skin breaking out, beard not thick enough. Looks like someone pasted a ratty, threadbare brown sock onto my face. The itching is constant. Reaction from Enemy: excellent so far. No additional psychological trauma to report. I'll keep you posted. ! http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/comments?id=152 http://danpayne.blogdrive.com/archive/151.html Mon, 23 Oct 2006 07:52:26 GMT I just posted an entry I'd written a few days ago as I was dealing with losing the girl I love to another guy. Rright after posting, I began to write another entry about the same problem, only this time communicating its final conclusion, my general woe, lessons learned, etc. But then someone told me about the passing of the mother of a friend of mine. May God keep her soul close and shed His mercies on her family. O Lord! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions! Verily, I beseech The to forgive the sins of such...

Before riding into battle, the Oglala warriors would pour the fine dust of the prarie mole onto their heads, faces and torsos, and then scatter the dust into the wind. (it's always windy there) To the Oglala warrior, this symbolized the spirit's flight from the body and the begining of its journey to the next world. Death during the battle, then, would merely be the body following the spirit, and nothing could be lost; after all, they have 'died' already. A powerful, powerful concept. Are your exams killing you?
