Blackbirds are Indestructible

The final four years of LiveJournal entries from ravyn440, 2009-2012.

Sometimes things don't work out like you expect. Working for Sun/MySQL was one of those things.

I certainly used to care a lot more about politics than I do today, and my comment that it absolutely matters who wins seems rather prescient given our current trumpster fire.

The first six months of 2008 did not see much LiveJournal writing. Neither did the second six.

Mr. Blackbird ends 2007 in a seething rage due to work-related bullshit. This elephant does not look angry, but he is going to be the image for this post anyway.

Ah yes, the infamous bucket list. Not much else of note in H1 2007, although it is funny how dumb a lot of the items on that list are. I should think bigger.

Summer in Japan, a death in the family with little emotional impact, and the thoughts of running 13 miles. Second half of 2006.

First part of 2006 and the blackbird is dealing with some shit, but at least he finally gets his degrees.

LiveJournal entries from December 2005, closing out a year that really sucked.

November 2005, one month before something really shitty happens.

Not a whole lot going on in October of 2005, if the LiveJournal is to be believed.

LiveJournal entries from September 2005 - fun with dolphins and not so much fun with eBay.

No birthday entries in August 2005, since the blackbird is turning 30 while in the skies over Japan.

LiveJournal entries from July 2005, in which ravyn440 has not yet given up on being an idealist.

June 2005 Livejournal entries from ravyn440: fun with standardized tests and some kung foolery

Last month we dropped 12 pounds in 19 days, and here we unloaded another 11 in 18 days - proof that the chicken is a powerful thing. Cluck cluck, mothercluckers!
