Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Here you will find different musings and descriptions of the various happenings in my life. Anything from political and religious opinions to fantastical writings that have absolutely nothing to do with anything important. Some days I may write about my educational adventures and others I may be writing about the rising price of gasoline, you just never know. So, if this is your cup of tea or if you are just looking for the entertainment of reading other people's thoughts, I welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my blog (look for the link in the sidebar). Thank you for your visit and please feel free to invite your friends!

Everything you needed to know about shadowchaser

Jack Corzine has written 148 post in this blog.

I'm a 49 year old Union Ironworker who has numerous interests. Currently I am close to receiving my AAS in Network Administration in Security and am seeking a career change over to the IT field. I love to cook, love my wife and family, and love to live life as fully as I am able to and I try to reflect that in my writings here. Hopefully you will be able to take something from what I place here and put it to good use. Please feel free to comment on anything you wish to here, tell your friends about this website and come back for me. May the Lord God bless and keep you.

Where has this year gone to? I can’t truly say that I’ve been too busy to write in my blog this year as I’ve been unemployed for a large portion of the year. The economy has not been very good at all lately (regardless of what the government sources wishes for you to believe) and as such I’ve been sitting on my duff at home doing next to nothing as far as work is concerned. There are a few projects scheduled for the last part of the 3rd quarter and the 4th quarter of 2010 but I’ve yet to see a benefit from these. Hopefully I can get on one of the wind projects that is coming up although it will mean working 6 days a week 10 hours a day which can make going to college challenging at best.

My son Mike is doing better since he came home from his accident (see related article The Accident (a revelation) Part Deux! below). He still has his numerous medical bills to pay and he is working on getting those paid off but he still has some medical issues that have not been addressed yet and they need to be. Please keep him in your prayers if you would. In the whole process of his accident Mike lost his license for 3 months due to Illinois‘ law about getting three moving violations before the age of 21 (his third violation was a few days before his 21st birthday). He has served his 3 month suspension of driving privileges (or should I say that we all have, his mother, myself, and his friends whom have been giving him rides that is!) and he now is able to drive again. Just in time too as he will be starting his schooling again this fall as well.

As far as school is concerned, I start my next round of classes on Aug. 16th. This semester I’m taking NETW 170 (Network Security Fundamentals) and DMED 210 (Advanced Web Page Design). They both look to be quite interesting to me and something that I’m sure to enjoy all semester. I did quite well on my Spring 2010 classes and even did well in my Algebra class (remember I hate Algebra). I’m still trying to find a full time job in the IT industry so if you happen to know of any openings (preferably in Central Illinois) please feel free to contact me on them. I’ve placed a few applications out there but so far I’ve not been chosen for those positions. I’m still hopeful though and if the economy is truly in a recovery I hope to be working in the computer industry relatively soon. Until then I will just keep chucking away at ironworking.

Well we have a busy weekend ahead of us so I’m going to let you go so I can get started on it. I hope to keep this blog more up to date in the future so please be certain to return often or if you are on facebook or twitter and have my information updates will be announced there.
