I grew up a huge fan of Tool, and am still a huge fan today.  Regardless of whether or not you like the band, you have to admit, nothing comes close to matching their unique sound.  Not to mention the fact that they have never waivered from what it was they wanted to do in their music.  In fact some could say they were even a bit selfish in their musical choices.  These guys really don't care what you or I want to hear, or how we want to hear it.  They continue to kick out stuff they like, if we like it then great.  This isn't to say they don't appreciate their fans, they just figure they prod

I was bored, so I googled my name, you know we have all done it at least once. And I stumbled across something I had written 4 years ago. It was written in response to an article containing an interview where David Arnett gave some pretty straightforward opinions about Iraq and the United States. Apparently Mr. Arnett hit a nerve with me.

Anyway it was just interesting to come across this, and I sort of wondered to myself where all that passion went. I guess 4 years and 2 children later, your passions sort of switch focus.

Looks like I am due back to work on the 16th of July!

Financially this is a big relief, but other concerns develop.  The biggest is the new population we will be receiving.

Those of you who know me also know that I work in a private prison.   For the past 10 years our population has been Oklahoma inmates.  We have become experts on how to manage Oklahoma inmates. 

Now we have to learn all about Arizona inmates.  We will be new to them just as they will be new to us.  This will be a very volatile time.
