Hello again!
Are you concerned about the cacophony of coding I've used for this post's title? Well, there's no need to fear! Underdog is....errr, *ahem....let me explain what I mean there.
The cacophony is totally unrelated to the coding bit. The cacophony is my NEIGHBOR being loud and obnoxious. This is a constant thing, but especially late at night when I'm preparing for sleep.
As for the coding part, that's just me, actually doing some coding. That's right, folks, I'm trying to teach myself Python. And really any sort of computer language that might be of some use in my life. I am currently using Codecademy to learn a few things. The jury is still out on whether or not this site is the shit or not. I'm leaning toward it being the best coding experience I've had to date, though. I shall be posting updates here and there on my progress and the site's pros and cons if you're interested. So far, I dig it. I've done one unit on the fundamentals of Python with lessons that turned out to be 100% enjoyable. However, I have discovered a small glitch. At random times, the 'Run' command yielded no response in the results window. I don't know what it was - browser issue, programming and results windows communication lapse, or internet problem...whatever the case, it wasn't really a deal breaker. I just had to fiddle with it by reloading the page, switching lessons, or hitting the 'Run' command a few times.
It's a little early for bedtime, but I can't stop my eyelids from falling. Sweet dreams, people.

Stuff. It's happening.
It's been awhile.
The winds are blowin'. It sounds like my front door is about to fly off its hinges.
I've obtained a Roku and Netflix since last I wrote. As you can imagine, these items are the reason for my absence. Lawl.
It would seem that I can barely stand my job another day, but who doesn't feel that way? Gotta pay the bills some way. I'm still waiting for Beyonce to give me dancing lessons. Maybe I'll be able to cash in on that if she ever responds. In the meantime, I'm just trying to figure out a game plan. Life is far too...open...for my taste. Too many choices. Too many possibilities to anticipate any sort of outcome. This is bothersome. Now as I say this many people apply for job after job to no avail. With that said, I'm not entirely talking about the job market. Let's go with the general realm.
I might be content lounging on my couch watching Netflix forever. Forget the rest of the world....
Meh, that would get lonely eventually!
For now, I'm going to do that day to day perspective thing. It's much more manageable that way.
Just to catch you up a bit on the last couple weeks, in a nutshell:
I've been to a dragshow for charity. Seen Devin Townsend (again) and Gojira. Watched Silver Linings Playbook. Discovered Word Hero and Ruzzle. Attempted crock pot cooking (pretty bland result). Uncovered the best way to stand for five hours straight. Caught up on Girls and MLP episodes. Played team trivia like a champ. Ate double chocolate cake that was worth an entire days allowance of calories, fat, and carbs. Realized and came to terms with some feelings (not about the cake, silly). Laughed at some comedians. Reconnected with a few old friends. Cried. Laughed. Seethed. Hugged.
It's a time somehow. It's ongoing. This might be the first time I've realized a time was happening while it was happening. I don't think I'd ever want to be a kid again if given the chance. The things I know now and yadayadayada. I am trying wholeheartedly to appreciate and enjoy this time rather than wishing it away.
Anyway, it's my bedtime. Night, folks.
