Off to a Good Start (2010/02/05)

This year I am really starting off on the right foot. For some reason, I have been extremely motivated. I am fairly excited about the things that have happened already or are in the works. So far I have officially reinstated my Florida Class E Driving License, filed my taxes, brewed a new batch of stout, and have an interview scheduled with Coraid in Athens, GA.

In regards to my driving privileges, I would like to clear the air and avoid all confusion. I never got a DUI or anything else all that reckless. The story is that I can be quite a slacker at times. A few minor traffic violations got compounded after not paying them which caused the infraction to escalate to a suspended license. On three separate occasions I was caught driving with a suspended license. This put me in the category of Habitual Traffic Offender and I lost my license for five years. I got on just fine without a license the whole time, so I let that go for a total of seven years. Now I am legal again and plan to be a much more careful and considerate motorist. ...(More)

New Year's Resolution (2010/01/13)

I have decided that I will do a better job of writing down my musings this year. I would like to commit to at least one informational post a month. If I can come up with more, then so be it. Hopefully, I can provide some valuable insight into the things that I am intimately familiar with for others who may not be so fortunate.

I will start this off by just giving a brief update into my own life. I have already made some progress in a positive direction this year. One of my biggest steps so far has been the completion of an Advanced Driver Improvement course. I needed to do this as a final step towards regaining my driving privileges. After seven years of not driving at all, I will finally be legal again and able to help out my friends and family. ...(More)
