SO let me attempt to regain my frequently lost composure. I have been very fickle with posting interesting messages on this blog. For this I beg for forgivness. However, my composure is now regained ten fold. I am willing and ready to begin this post with excitement and vigor. Yes, VIGOR! I am typing on this keyboard with a righteous anger; pecking each key with the greatest force. If I am not careful the keyboard will break into a million pieces. I'm an absolute nut. Do not even try to stop me.

I need to get this stuff printed off for my presentation. But I don't know how. It is 9:00AM and I need it printed by 10:30AM and I have no idea what to do. Help Ned.

What is seen and heard is not always what is percieved, and what is percieved is not always seen or heard---Ned Kimmel

WELL, allow me to begin with a formal apology. Readers and lovers of Ned Kimmel, I apologize deeply and express my deepest sympathy for those who have been at a loss when loyally clicking on my many access points to my blog. I am filled with deep sorrow to have deprived you, my readers, from my entertaining and loving source of strategically placed letters that form words and become words of peace and excitement to your ears. Please forgive me.

OK! Now that I have apologized, I am ready to begin a normal post! There is still many spring skirts here and there that catch your eyes and ones that you wish hadn't caught yours. However, that is not the purpose of this post. The sole reason for typing this blog today is to express, simple, how I've been doing lately. A sort of "catch up" on Ned Kimmel, if you will; I know I did. A day in the life of Ned Kimmel lately has consisted of anticipation for something that I knew really couldn't happen. However, new hopes of my wishful thinking has been revived and now once again exists with persistance.

THERE are few things in this life that truly amaze me. One thing just so happens to be the great depths and intricacies of the female mind. I am truly amazed at this wonder. I have found my feelings and thoughts toward women to now be stuck in a state of loving and hating. Why must girls be so incredibly beautiful yet so complex and hard to read and understand. Its a mystery, one that I most likely will never know. Enjoy Yourself.

I once found myself lazily paddling down a small clear stream on a warm Sunday afternoon, enjoying a few bottles of my favorite iced beverage, soon later I woke up---Ned Kimmel

CURRENTLY, I am working in the Stapleton Library, upon the fine campus of IUP. I am obviously not too terribly busy if i can be entering these words onto my blog. I enjoy my work here at this fine establishment. I often do very little in a days work. Many times I can sit down in front of one desk in particular and not leave that area for hours, all the while I've been talking on AOL Instant Messenger or writing short stories. In all actuallity its quite a boring job. I do next to nothing. However, today I had a very entertaining instance occur here at the boring ol' library. I was transfering the laptops (the ones you can rent out here) from their charging place to the front desk. The employees at the front desk were gather returned books and putting them onto carts to be taken back to their homes on the shelves of the library. And while my eyes wandered about, glancing at the different books and carts. I noticed one cart that was overflowing with literature, and directly in the center was Fahrenheit 451. Ahh, the irony.

SO, what do I have up for today? Well, I began work at 8:00 AM and I finish at 10:00 AM. Directly after I finish my shift here, I will make my travel to class from 10:30AM until 11:30Am. The road will be not be an easy one, rough and narrow, bruising my feet. Yet, I will prevail and make it through Dr. Elaine Ware's Hell hole of a class. It is quite torturous. It is as if you combined broken glass, nails, and pissed off cats into an above ground swimming pool and then jumped in off of an at least ten foot high diving board, all the while somebody was pouring boiling oil into the pool. Sounds fun, huh? Well, anyways, at 3:30 PM I have Oceans and Atmospheres Lab, which sadly reminds me that Dr. Richardson still exists, due to the fact that she teaches lab and not the lecture. This will last until 5:30 PM. Then after that I have not the slightest idea of what will become of my day. Enjoy yourself.

Increased creativity does not make up for poor quality in the world of writing---Ned Kimmel

BRIGHT blue skies and warm weather can do a number on one's morale. For I have noticed an increasingly adament desire to enjoy the nature more and more with each day that passes. I have been throwing the frisbee, throwing the baseball, shootin' some "hoops", frequenting the driving range, and even dabbling in a little bit of soccer. Not only does all of this activity excite me, but it allows me to jump back to my childhood, and retrieve vague memories spring and summer days that were forgotten over the cold winters. I am happy.

ON another subject. IUP has many more women than I had previously thought. As soon as the weather cheers up and provides us with warm temperatures, women come out of hibernation, sporting their short skirts and small tee shirts. They seem to appear unexplainably, as if they rise from the ground and immediately engage in sun bathing and other spring/summer activities. Only thing I ask of the women that are seeing sunlight for the first time in months, is to wear clothes that accomadate your size. There is nothing wrong with being heavier than other people, but it is courteous to wear clothes that are modest to your girth.

I so want a motorcycle. I want one this coming summer. It is my desire to acquire a motorcycle for $2000.00 dollars or less that runs with vigor and "spunk." I want it to be snappy and responsive; quick yet ready to just cruise along side the setting sun with a "lazy sunday" kind of attitude. Oh the simple joys in life, with great hopes, I have confidence that I can indulge in this fantasy soon.

MY goal must now be accomplished within the next twelve days. I have twelve days. Wish me luck.

For it is not the thoughts or our feelings, but it is the truth upon which we must rely---Ned Kimmel

Yesterday I got to see Straylight Run in concert. It made my day, what else is there to say. I also moved one step closer to my goal. Thankyou.

For when the future arrives, preparation will be useless. It is then that action will matter---Ned Kimmel

SO, today I work from 8:00AM until 10:00AM. I have high hopes of traveling back to Elderton from Indiana to retrieve funds from my banking place. As for now, the rest of the day consists of class at 3:30PM until 5:30PM. This is my Oceans and Atmospheres Lab, which of course I hate. I do not hate a lot of things, but this class, the lab and the lecture; I simply hate them both. I hate everything about them. Not one thing appeals to me about these classes. Well, except for Dr. Hovan, who is coming back to teach tomorrow because he was working in Tahiti somewhere for most of the semester, all the while leaving us students temporarily with Dr. Richardson who makes my stomach turn. Why am I focusing on the bad things right now? Because we as humans allow bad things to easily consume our minds and our focusing points. For example, where the heck did all the freaking snow come from over the weekend? This is utterly unacceptable Spring, we will except nothing less of mild temperature (45 to 65 degrees farenheit with the occasional rain shower and lots of refreshing breezes) and thoughts of anticipation for summer. But the weekend that just passed by so quickly as weekends often do, brought us snow, and more than anybody would have liked. But today is looking brighter, and much more like Spring, with an imminent high temperature of around 56 degrees, Ned is excited. Yes, excited. Oh, and not to mention, I visited the local Hookah bar this weekend also. This was a good experiance that allowewd me to help in killing my lungs for two hours straight by deliberately inhaling vanilla and strawberry flavored tobacco smoke. Oh, how much fun it is to destroy your lungs so willingly! Golfing is inevitable now. The Golfing weather is almost here. If we are lucky, and today melts the snow and begins to dry up the ground, around 5:00PM tomorrow, I'll be in very short khaki shorts with a Polo shirt on and a 1940's style paper boy hat swinging the clubs at the Lenape Heights Golf Course, with the sunset shining brightly on my face. And rewarding my soon coming game of excellence, my hopes of shooting at least five under par, I will satisfy my hungry stomach with a large grilled chicken salad. Yum. Enjoy yourself.

Out of all the things we search for in life, sadly, wisdom is the least of our concerns---Ned Kimmel

So what is life and how do we achieve it? Is life merely the world around us taking its uncontrollable course? Life is what you make it to be. Each day we have our own free will to make our own choices and decisions that will affect every moment of our lives. When you do get to the bottom of it, each choice does have an affect of every thing that you do. Choose in life very carefully. Make every action count for something larger and more important. We are to not worry about the future because today brings enough worries of its own. Therefore, stay within this day but look into the future at what may be impacted by your present choices. Make wise decisions and choose with anticipation of the future. Look forward to what may become of your life, and make it happen by living life today to it's fullest.
