Daylight Savings?

So, with the recent clock change to Central Daylight Time, I thought I'd be somewhat tired from losing an hour of sleep. Truth be told, the time change had little effect on my circadian rhythm this time. Usually I have some sleep lag, but I feel good about the change this year.

Interesting thing I heard on the radio today though. Apparently the dairy cows get really stressed out over having to be milked by farmers an hour earlier then they are use to. I wonder if the milk they do produce is somewhat less nutritious for the time it takes their bodies to adjust to the new milking schedule? It would be neat to see a study on the value of milk post daylight savings.

Well, with the new time schedule, the warmth of spring is bound to make everyone more happy. The spring melt will no doubt be welcomed with hesitation this year in Manitoba. The "flood" will no doubt seep its moisture into the minds of Manitobans this spring.

University is almost done for this term. The absence of a strike by teaching faculty has made less room for my procrastination with assignments. Two weeks until exams seems like a lot of time, but it really isn't when you take into account the daily chores of life.

Now that I think of it, I really do not have that much time to blog either.

Until next time, take care.

March-ing on

I realize that it has been a month since I've posted a blog. I knew this would be the case when I first signed up for Blogger. I have this habit of thinking that I will do something, then get sidetracked with laziness and not take care of what I intended to do. This is the case with my blog. I know that most of you who read this, could care less, but I think if you are taking the time to create a blog online, then you should have the decency to keep the account interesting and updated, or delete it if you're not using the blog.

Well, I intend to keep this blog. It's my personal journal of things that are on my mind, and helps me grow professionally and personally. By blogging, I am able to say what is on my mind and not worry about the people who might have some thing to say about this. If you have an issue with my postings, then perhaps you need to ask yourself why that is.

So, it's now March. I really do not care for this month. There are some events that transpired in the later depths of the month that caused a lot of personal pain for me. The death of my niece Tannis Lynne Bird on March 30, 2007, was a very hard thing to deal with. How come people say that? Deal with? It's not a chore. It's life doing what life does. I become very critical with people who say thing like: You can deal with this; What does not kill you, only makes you stronger; and other insincere rhetoric to abide their feelings and make them satisfied with themselves. Just say "I am sorry" and move on. Don't pile on other laundry, when the washing machine is broken.

March is the bitter end of the winter months. I always look forward to this fabled month. Once the Lion roars in, the lamb can bleat its meek self onward with the renewal of spring. Spring time is fun. My 30th birthday is this spring, and so is another chapter in my university courses.

Speaking of my 30th birthday, on May 11th, I want to do something extra special. Perhaps a trip to Las Vegas is just what is needed. Who knows, maybe I will get married?

Such is the beast with blogging, you do not know where to stop. I think this would be an okay place.
