Another hole in my posting has caused me to question why I pay for my domain name as well as my blogging software account. I do have a valid reason: it is called life rebuilding. I have been working my ass off these past two months. Every waking moment I have been either working (for a paycheck) or working at bettering our lives. Tara has been a trooper. I couldn't (and probably wouldn't) do any of this without her. As for my complete lack of attention to my blog, I'm an inadequate piece of shit, and I deserve all of the flogging and stoning that comes with it.

Tara and I have both been rebuilding our lives. It has been a massive reconstruction project in all aspects but the one tying us together, and even that bond has been strained at times. We have persevered through it, and have news! Tara is pregnant! She is only a couple of months along, but "expecting" nonetheless. With all of this change, I have been trying to make all of the lives connected to this venture a little easier. 

I have been studying David Allen's "Getting Things Done."  It has been insightful, as well as mind-numbing. This will be a drastic departure from my current stress-filled organization practices. With any luck this will work for us, and maybe even clear up a little more time from daily-grind life, and open it up into real life.

Earlier today, Carradine was found dead in his room at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel near Sukhumwit, in central Bangkok, Thailand. According to an initial police report, Carradine had committed suicide by hanging himself. He was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and body. Carradine was in Bangkok to shoot his latest movie, "Stretch," but the film crew were aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant on June 3.

David Carradine was a phenomenal American actor who starred some of my favorite flicks, from Cannonball to the Kill Bill series, to the Kung Fu and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, and numerous voice overs in animated flicks and spots in comedy movies. He will truly be missed.
