You know what? I'm going to spare you the details of the last year of my life - it's probably better than way. I don't suppose anyone really keeps up with this old thing anymore - again, it's probably better that way.
Let's just say I've been...away. Yes, I went away for awhile, but now I'm back. I got myself all wrapped up in this, that, and the other thing, and it started to affect my quality of life and everything I was doing. I can't say I'm totally out of the woods yet, but 2009 has been a bit of a learning experience thus far, and things are finally starting to make sense now.
It's been both familiar and new...both logical and inconceivable...both expected and shocking (I know; I'm being vague, but that's okay).
So what now? Well, I really don't know, but I suppose that's not such a bad thing. What's right now is waiting. That's what I'm doing right this very second - waiting. Waiting for what, you might ask? The next opportunity in my life. I suppose that's sort of an exciting prospect, but it's also pretty stressful to be honest.
Finally, I have some sort of resolution to this chapter of the william harper experience (<---the working title for my memoirs) though, so that's a positive. It was almost like I was stuck in this chapter. I know I wasn't really stuck, but it sure felt that way. It seems like every chapter in my story has some horror-movie-type ending to it, which seems to be somehow connected to my hard-headed, stubborn, cynical nature. I've always ended up learning things the hard way, and as badly as I hate it...and as unexpected as it seems to be everytime it happens, I always come out on the other side a better, more well-rounded person.
See, I understand myself more and more every time a chapter ends in a Friday the 13th style bloodbath, and maybe, just maybe, someday in the future, I'll have the presence of mind and the self-awareness when I come to the fork in the road to take the path to a nice, peaceful mountaintop resort instead of the path to Camp Crystal Lake and the certain destruction that follows.
I'm going to try to keep this thing updated from here on out. Not that it's particularly important to anyone but myself, but writing keeps me sane. It gives me some sort of outlet for all the chaos that happens inside my head every day.
So yeah, here's to writing again, and here's to living again.

My day, my week, and my month in review
So, in my first blournal entry for several months, I'd like to first point out that I have officially forgotten how to write "blog style." You may notice my new sunglasses, unless of course you haven't seen me with them on, then you may not notice them, but they're niiiice.
This morning, I woke up around 4:00 am to the wonderful sounds of Starsky (my dog) vomiting on the corner of my bed. It was faaaaantastic. I just wish someone would make me a CD entitled, "Regurgitation Noises." I'd totally set it up as my "wakey upey" CD for at least 6 months. After that, of course, I can't guarantee anything.
I'm working now...in a large, narrow room...sitting at a small desk...going through 150+ files to ensure their integrity. If they do not meet my ideal level of quality, I then decide how they will be fixed (ie - repaired). If they do, I mark them with my "stamp of approval." What I mean by "stamp of approval" is a large pile of folders in the floor, which will herein be referred to as my "pile of approval." Ok....so there's what I'm doing today. Now on to my week....
Considering today is Tuesday, and there has only been one day prior to this in my "week," I'll be brief. Yesterday, I came to work. Ok....on to the month.
The month of May, 2007 has been a decent month. My mother and sister came out to visit me since I wrote last, but that was technically in April, so please disregard the previous sentence. Ahem...ok. So this month, I've done a lot of wishing I were at the beach. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm confident that I'll either be dead or at the beach sometime within the next two months.
To be perfectly frank, I'm a little tired. I have this really bad habit of going to bed at night with just about enough time to make for a really good afternoon nap. I've come to find out that it isn't such a good idea to do such things when you really need to be awake at work. I have, however, discovered a way to temporarily "beat the system." Lots. of. coffee. No seriously. LOTS.
So there's my month so far. I hope you've enjoyed reading about my life.
I'm off to do more work.

Memeage from Kim
Alright. So my friend Kim of The Life of KimHo posted something of this nature on her blogoriffic blog a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to include myself in this life-changing venture. That’s right, she’s starting a cult….OR….she posted a meme. You decide.
“Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.” I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate/difficult! You WILL update your journal/blog/whatever with the answers to the questions (please don’t leave your answers in my comments unless you don’t have a blog). You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.”
1. If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
If I could chose any superpower, it would definitely be flying, but not for the traditional reasons (you know, saving money on airfare, skipping traffic, etc). No sir. I want to fly, so I can find a nice little spot in the sky, maybe atop the tallest mountain or the tallest building, to sit back and relax. And plus….I’d like to mess with people on airplanes.
2. Who was your ultimate Teen Beat crush?
Alicia Silverstone…..all the way. Back in the day…she was hoooooooot. She still is, but my crushes these days are more along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Reese Whitherspoon,.
3. What is one thing/event in your life that you wish you could go back and change?
Hrm. That’s a tough one. I try to live my life (now) without regret, but I do have quite a few things I would go back and change, if I could. If I had to pick one (that I wouldn’t mind mentioning on here), I would have to say…(drum roll please…..)…credit cards. I would have never applied for one, and I certainly would have never charged anything to one. I get 4-5 credit card offers per day, which really increases my chances for running out of room in the trash before the trash guy comes every week. OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!
4. Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
My mom….hands down. She somehow managed to raise two kids, in the midst of a divorce, while getting her college education and making minimum wage at the university bookstore. I have no idea how she did it, but I admire her for it.
5. What came first...the chicken or the egg?
The egg. “Why?” you ask. The genetic makeup of a chicken could not have first existed except as an embryo inside an egg. The egg may have been somewhat different that the eggs we see today, but the chicken was first an embryo, protected by some sort of shell-like surface, and incubated by manbearpig.

Theiving
It's funny how music shapes different periods of your life. I've been feeling quite lonely this evening....and I'm not sure why.
Things are good, but tonight was just one of those nights (I get emotional sometimes...no seriously...I do). I got the new Lovedrug CD. Something about the songs they sing have the capability to completely change my thought process....my mood...everything.
There's one song imparticular on the new one....Theiving. It....well....it makes me believe in love again.
Something is different today. Something changed.
I'll figure it out soon, and when I do, I'm sure I'll have another "one of those nights" to bask in the glory of "figuring it out."
I know this sounds weird, but....I think I think too much.
I'm a deep thinker these days...I'm always thinking about this or that. It's rare that I have a moment to just clear my thoughts and relax. Thinking is a good thing. God gave us powerful minds, so we could use them, right? Well, maybe that's why I've slept so well lately.
Sleep is the only time my mind gets a chance to "relax."
I used to always say that sometimes, our intellect can be our worst enemy. Enemy may not be the best word for mine, but it definitely wears me out.
Okay...time for bed. I need a break.

Ok...so here's the story. Yesterday, around 3:00, a natural gas pipeline exploded in Parker County, TX (about 15-20 minutes from where I live). For those who don't know, natural gas pipelines are very much connected to what I do for a living. That's how the natural gas I get the rights to drill for is transported to market and sold.
This sort of thing only happens when people don't use common sense when dealing with combustible substances...such as natural gas. In this particular situation, some idiot was digging around with a backhoe looking for another gas pipeline. Well, he found one....three actually, and they all exploded and caused what you see in the attached picture.
I drove out to see the remnants of the explosion yesterday afternoon, but alas, I forgot my camera. But this is what my picture WOULD have looked like....had I remembered to bring my camera.
The significance is this: right across the street from my house, there is a *dum dum dummmmmm* natural gas pipeline. Let's all cross our fingers and hope that no one decides to do anything stupid around that one, such as dig around it with a backhoe.

I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" last night, and here is my conclusion:
It is almost inescapable that Al Gore made this movie with the intention of reestablishing his name with an attached political platform. The movie is just as much about Al Gore as it is about global warming.
I wasn't terribly convinced, as my background in research methods enabled me to pinpoint several loopholes in his theories. I won't get into it here, but I'm going to need more convincing on the cause of global warming before I get on board with Mr. Gore and just about all of Hollywood and "go green."

HOOKAAYY! I'm back.. Here's the story. Saturday night, March 3, there was to be the first total lunar eclipse in about 4 years, so I was pumped. My project 365 entry was set, and I was going to witness a natural phenomenon to boot.
Well, long story short, the picture you see to your right was a "test shot" using the fireworks setting on my camera, and it was subsequently the "death shot" to my camera's battery. I didn't have a spare, and the eclipse was just around the corner. No time to fix the camera...I was just going to watch in awe as this feat of nature unfolded before my eyes.
I waited...
and waited...
and waited......
Well, I never saw it. I'm not sure what happened, but I never saw anything out of the ordinary. Maybe, just maybe, I blinked a little too longer than is acceptable during a lunar eclipse, and I was being punished. But what is more likely is that I missed it. Yea, I think that's it.
Either way, my camera's been dead since Saturday, so I haven't had any project 365-esque pictures to bless you with. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is my entry for March 3, 2007. I will have a second posting today including my entry for today, because, thankfully, my camera's battery was miraculously brought back to life using the battery charger that came with my camera.
In other news, life is good, and I'd like to go to Fiji.

Kim of "Kim's Blog" was kind enough to explain Project 365 to me a couple of days ago, and it seems like a good idea.
Here is my first entry for February 21, 2007.

Here is my first entry for February 21, 2007.
Description: Starsky and his new buddy, Sergeant.
Look at me...I'm a meme-whore
Kim tagged me in this thing, and man, it's been a looong time since I've done one of these.
| Guilt | What’s yours? | Explain yourself! |
|---|---|---|
| Culinary | Mexican Food... Burgers. | Life in Texas has really inspired my love for fajitas, chimichangas, and taquitos. I'm pretty sure I could live solely on chips & salsa....and burgers. |
| Literary | Digg | Of the various time-wasting measures I use, this is probably the biggest. Between Digg, wikipedia, and youtube, I probably waste a good 91% of my day, everyday (+/- 1.78%). |
| Audiovisual | 24 | My Dad got me hooked on this show. I'm actually considered a god in several small South African countries for watching an entire season of 24 in one weekend. Pretty impressive, huh? |
| Musical | Rap | I probably listen to rap more than most any other type of music. This was a sudden occurance, and it overtook me within a matter of days. Maybe my inner black guy is revealing himself. |
| Celebrity | Paris Hilton | Yes, I know she's a hoe...a really, really big hoe (perhaps...a super-hoe). But she's hot, so she's okay in my book. |
So there ya go....my inner-most secrets laid out for the world to see. I'm so ashamed. Please, try not to think differently of me, because of this new information. I'm not sure what to do with myself now. I'd better go schedule an appointment with my therapist.

Kevin Hyche
I know there aren't many who read this anymore, because I'm quite sporatic in my posting, but I have to write. Writing is for me what an exhaust is for a car.

Okay, evidently I really am at a loss for words. I don't even know where to start.
...
..
Hrmm.
When I met Kevin, I was a youth pastor at Fleetwood Baptist Church near Tuscaloosa. I was supposed to be the one teaching him...leading, molding, and forming him. But instead, he taught me. My life will forever be influenced by his passion, his compassion, and his love for others. He challenged me to live....a challenge that I still haven't quite reached yet, but when I do, I'll think about him.
Kevin, I will never forget you. Know that your passion and your genuine faith has changed my life, and you'll always have a special place in my heart.
I'll see you again someday.

Inventor of instant noodles dies
The inventor of instant noodles, Momofuku Ando, has died in Japan, aged 96, of a heart attack.
Oh, the humanity!
Mr Ando was born in Taiwan in 1910 and moved to Japan in 1933, founding Nissin Food Products Co after World War II to provide cheap food for the masses.
Oh, the humanity!

Old post
I was looking at an old post from my livejournal, and oddly enough, it still applies.
So here's how the story goes. Life is great. I'm happy, and basically everything is going my way. I'm totally satisfied with myself, God, my job, and my relationship status of "single."
Then, just as things seem like they couldn't go any better, I sort of inadvertently make the decision to start CASUALLY dating a girl that seems to want nothing more than to get married as soon as possible (not that she's said it, just implied it).
I like being single. It's fun to date around and just have a good time (no, I'm not a player). I like keeping my options open, and I just can't justify taking the risk that relationships involve (again) on anyone I've met in the past 24 years. Well, there is one person, and it's not likely that any of you have ever met her (not Jessica...k thx), but it's not even a possibility right now, because she lives a long, long way away.
That's my luck, I suppose. I fall for a girl who's only living in my city temporarily. Way to go, Billy.
I'm terribly picky about girls I date. No girl I've dated in the past year and a half has lasted more than 2 weeks. I know what I want, and if I don't see it, there's really no point in sticking around. It will just make things harder.
The problem is, I've seen what I wanted in a select few girls, but have seldom pursued anything with them. Why? Because I'm a poon.
I need something good to happen outside of work (in my personal life). Work has been outstanding, school has been pretty good, but my social life has been a huge mess. I have friends here, but they all live in Fort worth, and i live an hour from there.
Okay, I needed to vent. Sorry for the crappy mood I'm in.

That's my luck, I suppose. I fall for a girl who's only living in my city temporarily. Way to go, Billy.
I'm terribly picky about girls I date. No girl I've dated in the past year and a half has lasted more than 2 weeks. I know what I want, and if I don't see it, there's really no point in sticking around. It will just make things harder.
The problem is, I've seen what I wanted in a select few girls, but have seldom pursued anything with them. Why? Because I'm a poon.
I need something good to happen outside of work (in my personal life). Work has been outstanding, school has been pretty good, but my social life has been a huge mess. I have friends here, but they all live in Fort worth, and i live an hour from there.
Okay, I needed to vent. Sorry for the crappy mood I'm in.
Also:
 How rich are you? >> I'm loaded. It's official. I'm the 36,508,771 richest person on earth! |

I'm pretty sure that I've gone completely crazy.
Hello, intraweb.
I hope all is well with you. Things have been good with me.
Well, that's all. I hope you have an outstanding afternoon!

Holy Lord
Now, it's time to begin blogging once again. I've taken the last twenty years off (give or take 19.8 years) to recollect my thoughts and move into my new crib.
My, how I've missed the blogging and the communication with the outside world, but I've been so busy that I haven't had time to be social. Too bad.
Here's a recap of the last month of my life in ten words or less:
Stress
Fulfilled
Americandream (one word for space purposes)
Expensive
Absenteeism
Rap
AndySamberg
Colbert
Work
Autotrader.com
Aaaaand that should cover it. Sorry for the lack of posts, but rest assured, all of my devoted readers will be satisfied periodically with a pleasant post from Billy, the King of Rock and Roll.
In closing,

Diversity
"Well, I could be wrong, but I believe, uh, diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era."

I'd just like to say...
I'd just like to say that Snakes on a Plane has had more publicity than any movie I've heard of in a long time. It's got cool bands, big stars, and Samuel L. Jackson giving it free press.
That pretty much means it's gonna suck balls.
Yay!
That pretty much means it's gonna suck balls.
Yay!
4:30 am
You know, waking up at 4:30 am isn't the most awesome thing ever like I thought it would be. I'd never really noticed before recently, because I always missed it, but now I know - I wasn't missing out on anything.
Old music
There's nothing quite like pulling out an old favorite cd for the first time in a long time. It's satisfying.
