Mini-Profile

It's not how life treats you, it's how you treat life.

(signs hello). my name is caleb, i enjoy many things, and suck at all of them. i’m not especially intelligent, but i really love to help when and where i can with my limited experience. i’m kinda out here in the woods and have had mostly redneck jobs like buckin’ hay bales, drive a big flatbed truck with…. hay bales, built custom cabinets with my Da, worked at a paper mill, done some construction and concrete, and other odd things here and there. i just tell the guys at work that i’m only there because i like to eat.

i don’t really have any special talents, nothing i excel (sp? c’mon, leave me a note and tell me how to spell that, c’mon.) at, but i can do anything i put my mind to. i’m a college student getting pretty fair grades by working my butt off. i don’t have anything nice but i don’t have any debt either. so you see, even if you are lousy at everything, you can still get somewhere. i could have a lot of really nice things and still have less debt than the average college kid. yep. but…. i wanna save up so i can have a family instead. i’d rather not have the bimmer or teg or crotch rocket, and be able to by my kids stuff.

i’m not real experience with girls, seeing i have had only one girlfriend, and not a real long time either. man, let me tell you, she is a real blessing. hold out for someone that’s extra special, let me tell you. she is amazing. she’s the kind of person that, even if we don’t stay together, i wouldn’t want to lose her friendship. sure you might say, they’ve not been together real long… it’s just the easy stage now. yeah, i know that. we’ll fight, we’ll argue, (shrugs some) i can’t help that. love isn’t finding someone exactly the same as you so that you never fight, and love isn’t finding someone that can satisfy your own lust. you selfish bastards. love is finding someone you can make a team with. someone that you can bring home flowers too. someone you can argue with, and still sleep next to them - not on the couch. love is her working on her feet all day, and then giving her a foot massage. not sex…. what is happening to our nation? depraved people. selfish people. people with no morales past those that suit them at the moment. happiness without joy. i’m no scholar, but look at the romans. what a great nation. they were great…. were. look at the decline. they slipped. morals. countries are based on morals. and ours…. ours is losing. inch by sorry inch. and that’s my tangent.

my only real hobby is computer modding. i’m not really into software, but i know enough about hardware to get me into trouble, and build my compy (it’s a w.i.p. since 1998). i’m more or less a geek - anything that lights up and is shiny commands my instant attention. my most recent project is a mobo swap, where essentially i tear apart the case, and rearrange everything inside. the way mobo’s are layed out, and the way cases are layed out is pretty dumb. it’s like the people who invente the layouts for both were mortal enemies… locked in vicious combat until the end of time…. or the next mobo arrangement becomes popular.

welp, 5 am comes early.
