One of the best things I have enjoyed in every @okieprof class
is the very interesting speakers that openly share their stories.
They enrich my knowledge by sharing experiences in both life and work. Everyone has had some interesting story to tell each in a very unique special way. Like unwrapping a present I find each one of them to be a gift. Thanks to all who share their story.
It seems in my youth I have been a little more mischievous than most and it may have an effect on my background. Sure I have been arrested for fighting, but I don't think this makes me different from people. Everyone has had some form of altercation with another. Only when I was a young man I didn't back down from a fight. Now that I have grown to be a more mature humble person I've learned to turn the other cheek. I have reached out to an attorney who has given me some helpful advise about possibly clearing my record.
I have been recently on the hunt for employment. It seems the 401k is dwindling and this summer it is time to go to work. Well I have to bring in some income people have to eat. I just hate the part of tinkering and tailoring a resume to meet each potential employers needs. I suppose it is all part of the game. So far I haven't had any luck with paid internships I inquired to late or the positions have been filled. The good people over at Quad Graphics responded to my request for employment and may offer me a job. That all depends on all the testing and background checks of coarse. If possible maybe this job will lead to a future internship with Quad. Although a long while ago I was at a bar and got myself arrested and charged with an A&B. I am not to proud of this lil fisticuffs. Friends the things you do when they get in a jam.
This past Sunday I decided to try an alternate way to cook turkey. I was tired of the same old boring turkey recipe so I browsed Martha Stewarts web page. And a really weird word caught my eye spatchcocked. Well at least I hadn't heard this silly word being thrown around everyday. The process of roasting a fowl by removing its backbone and evenly spreading it out on your baking pan. This seemed a little more interesting than just stuffing the bird and throwing it in the oven. So I followed the simple easy instructions and seasoned my turkey. The results were great my family enjoyed their Easter meal I prepared and I think because of how quick and easy this was I will not roast turkey or chicken any other way but Spatchcocked.

These last few weeks I have been reconnecting with my past friends I haven't spoken with in a few years and to find out how they've been. Like me some have had to deal with death and the loss of a family member recently. It was helpful to share the pain and heartache but to also hold on to the memories of all the good times we had with those lost. I find it is helpful to actually hear someones voice rather than to read unspoken words.
As a boy I easily found countless dreams and fantasies about how I could occupy my time in the day and with no real sense of failure. Now I more and more find my self filled with worry and defeat. I don't seem to have the same boyish imagination to explore the unknown. As each day passes it is my intent to claim back some of those boyhood fantasies and make some thrilling memories.
