I'm having a job interview tomorrow afternoon. A bit anxious over it despite the fact that I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Hopefully I get to sleep tonight instead of just rolling in my bed as I've had some minor troubles with getting to sleep lately.

You and your unsatisfied hormones.    I suppose it's better than putting two bullfrogs in the same tank and watching one eat the other. |

Amidst a family of uneducated, broke Mexicans, he acquired a PhD and became a nuclear scientist, inspiring me to believe that I can be whatever I want to be when I grow up. He's also a convert to Greek Orthodoxy, having converted against the wishes of his family, kinda foreshadowing what I would go on to do.  I'm very bummed that he's going to be dying in a few months  |

We have a Greek Orthodox shrine to St. Nectarios here in West Covina, California. They can send oil. Many miracles involving cancer have occurred. I also venerated the rib of St. Nectarios. I had cancer and I have been in remission since 2000. |

More like we have great hardware, but the proprietary software keeps getting infected with viruses, so it has to be constantly disinfected or it will become corrupted. |
