  • Cherish your children

    When Lilyana was born, I remember staring at her while I held her in my arms for the first time, welling up with pride as I fought back the tears. I remember looking at her and thinking “She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. She’s perfect!”

  • Has it really been three years?

    Man! Time flies when you’re having fun, huh? I’ve officially been in the US for 3 years, 9 days and much has happened in that time. I can’t believe it’s been three years. It seems like just yesterday we touched down in Lexington and made a stop a Taco Bell some 20 minutes later! LOL!

  • Meaningful interactions between competing world views

    In today’s multimedia, highly connected, global community we are all too aware of a number of competing world views. At their core’s, they are almost all founded upon some kind of religious pretext. Christianity. Hinduism. Islam. Judaism. Each of these religions offer a completely different view of the world we live in and each offers…

  • Dealing with change

    I am not a fan of change. Never have been. Never will be. The worst part about change is the uncertainty that comes with it. For reasons that need not be explained here, my childhood was fairly unstable. I believe I went something along the line of seven, or eight Primary Schools (Grade schools to…

  • Websites and their marketing value in a modern world

    As a web developer, I work on websites almost every day of my life. I’m also constantly looking at websites and wondering how certain details are implemented and how I might go about implementing solutions for certain problems I see on some of those websites.

  • Criticism

    Last night I was up late watching some late night comedy. After that was done, I found a documentary that was directed by Jamie Kennedy. Yes, that Jamie Kennedy. As it turns out, Mr. Kennedy has suffered from severe depression due to the criticisms he received on his movie, Son of the Mask.

  • Myrtle Beach, SC

    For the first time in a number of years, I took a REAL vacation. Jaime, Jennifer’s sister, and her family (Stevie, Christopher, Matthew, Hayley and Emily) had booked themselves in for a vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC. Cindy, Jennifer’s mum, and her husband, Greg, had decided to go as well and wanted Lilyana to go…

  • Immigration Proceedings – Part II

    It’s official! I am a US Permanent Resident! For those not in the know, I had what was known as Conditional Permanent Residence status. The conditional part was due to being married to Jennifer for less than 2 years BEFORE we migrated to the US. The conditions of the my residency were that I was…

  • What a world we live in…

    I was flipping through some channels tonight and stumbled across a show I’d been wanting to watch for a little while. The show is called Penn & Teller’s Bulls***. From watching that one show, it would appear they dissect issues that most of us seem to overlook but are actually crucial issues to our daily…

  • Immigration proceedings and Parkersburg,WV!

    Okay, so I recently received a “Notice of Action” from the USCIS informing me that was required to travel to Charleston, WV for “biometrics” appointment on Thursday, June 3, 2010. What’s a biometrics appointment? In a nutshell, it’s a finger print and mug shot. LOL! I was asked countless times why I couldn’t have done…
