Curtis’s Blog

I realize that it has been some time since I have posted anything to this blog.  It was March to be exact.  It’s now June.  I graduated college, got a cat, bought a motorcycle, and invented a new tee shirt.  (No, really)

It feels good to finally be done with school.  I have so much free time it’s not even funny.  Granted, it still feels like I work all the time.  But, not being burdened by school work and classes and what not is a truly fantastic feeling.

The kitten was something that Chelsea and I were planning on getting for a while.  Her name is Zayda, and she’s pretty much the cutest kitten in the world.  She stays with her mom, but I come over to visit her often.

The motorcycle was almost impulsive.  I had the idea that I could own one, found the model I wanted, tracked one down, studied and passed my permit test, and bought the bike.  All in about a week’s time.  I bought an ‘08 Honda Rebel.  It’s a fairly small bike.  But it fits me well and is a good one to learn on as I have no prior experience.

I have no pictures of the tee shirt design and if you really care, you can ask me about it.  :)  Like most of my big ideas, it will probably never take off.

Finally, I’m going on vacation all next week with a couple of my aunts and uncles, my cousins, my family, and my girlfriend.  We’re leaving for the Outer Banks, NC very early Saturday morning.  The house we are staying in is ginormous (shown below).   I’ve never been to the Outer Banks before, so I’m pretty excited.

Well, that’s it for now.  I’ll try to update a little sooner next time.  Perhaps while I am at the beach.  Cheers.

For those of you following, or for those of you who care, I have an official move-in date for my new house.  It will be Monday, March 24th.  I am very excited.  If any of you want to see it, just let me know and I’ll have ya over. 

It’s been a while since I have posted a video. My brother sent me this one and it’s hilarious. The title says it all.

So in addition to showing up late to classes the past two days, today I was actually on time only to find that my teacher had cancelled class. Outstanding! I could have slept in had I have checked my email. Anywho, so I had a take home test that I was supposed to turn in today. Yeah, I left it at home. So, I had to drive all the way home just to get my test. When I was on my way back, I realized that I forgot my coat. This is why I say, I am all kinds of messed up. Its all good though. I get to see my girlfriend in about 2 hours. I can’t wait!!!!

So there’s no way it’s possible for someone to pull this two days in a row, but leave it to me to perform the impossible. Keep in mind I have been in my classes for 8 weeks now. I have monday/wednesday classes and I have tuesday/thursday classes. Some how, on both tuesday and wedenesday I thought both of my classes were a half an hour later than what they actually are. Now maybe someone would get confused and pull this off once. But twice? The day after? Yup, only me.

Okay, so it took me a while to get it working, but I now have the ability to post to my blog from my blackberry. There have been lots of times when I have wanted to post something immediately as it happened or I wanted to upload a picture right away, but wasn’t able to. Then later on, I would forget or just be lazy. That ends now. I know its geeky, but for those of you who know me well, know that I am, in fact, a geek. Deal with it.
This is hopefully the first of many posts that will be coming live from the field that is my life. So, for the 3 of you who follow. Enjoy!

I took some really cool pictures today in Montoursville. This is just an example. Most of them are Lightroomed. They are posted to facebook which means they should show up on the images tab here. They can also be seen in their own album at :
