WHAT HAPPENED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO WHEN THE SNOW STOPPED FALLING
It started to snow late Sunday afternoon on December 5, 2010. It kept snowing almost nearly non-stop until early Tuesday evening on December 7, 2010. The snow fell lightly today, but it appeared to have stopped. It's still freezing outside and the snow isn't likely to melt anytime soon. The lake Erie effect makes that certain. Once again, it's a fun relaxing winter in Cleveland, Ohio.

SO BEGINS THE TWENTY-FIRST MONTH OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
i'm drinking Raspberry truffle mocha in the cappucino cafe portion of Buehler's Supermarket. I'm typing this in the computer lab with two computers also in the cappucino cafe portion of Buhler's. After going for the entire month of November without snow, winter finally arrived today. There's nothing much going on besides watching the snow fall. I'm slowly doing my Christmas shopping. That's the biggest. It's a challenge to Christmas shop while remaining on budget. However, I'm pulling it off. Yes, I still ride a bicycle to work everyday---Even in the snow. I can't afford a car right now, so I use bicycles instead.

LESS THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AWAY UNTIL THANKSGIVING
The Salvation Army bell ringers are in full force in the Buehler's Supermarket. I'm currently in the computer lab with two computers in the cappuccino cafe portion of Buehler's Supermarket. The Salvation Army bell ringer is very close. I'm typing away on this internet blog. I'm not sure if anybody is actually reading this. Even if nobody is reading this, it makes me feel good typing this out. At any rate, my side of the story shall be represented. There isn't much to tell. My life is uneventful and ordinary. I'm just an average minimum wage employee trying to survive the best way I can. It's the best I can hope for.
Hold on, there's a weather report on the direct television hookup that Buehler's Supermarket has. Will there be snow in Cleveland, Ohio? I'm not sure. Weather for the entire United States of America instead of just only Cleveland, Ohio is being offered. It looks like cold without snow for the rest of the week. Will the same be for December. Jennifer Grey won DANCING WITH THE STARS. Tea Party fantatics will be angry. Still, the right person won the dancing competition show. Don't get me wrong, Bristol Palin, biologic daughter of Sarah Palin, was good. However, Jennifer Grey was better.

SO NOW IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm not sure whether guys who drinks lots of beer are better at picking up women than guys who don't drink lots of beer. The fact that I don't drink beer and hasn't been able to pickup a single woman appears to comfirm such perceptions. You see it all the time in beer comercials. A bunch of guys with the intelligence and maturity of a junior high student picks up a beer bottle and suddenly he's the most important person in the tavern. I don't try to think too much about my inability to pickup women. I'm having a dry spell which hopefully will be temporary. Still, it would've been nice to send a message that drinking coffee instead of beer would be much better for a person's health. Right now, I'm drinking soda pop. Soda pop is just as good as coffee, though coffee is better.

ODDS AND ENDS
How much does it cost to have Direct TV connected? Do you need a sataline dish or do you need a special machine connection? I wish I knew more about computers and machines to figure that out. I don't know much about computers beyond the basic information. I saw HELL'S KITCHEN on television last night. All of the cooking students ended up failing so badly, that the kitchen was closed before the actual meal could be served. I would imagine that what was served was either discounted or given away for free.
I don't think anybody will win the current season of HELL'S KITCHEN. Not with the way the HELL'S KITCHEN television show contestants have been acting. I'm glad I'm not a contestant on HELL'S KITCHEN. I'm not sure I could survive a day in such an evironment. There's no way I could afford the meal at Hell's Kitchen Restaurant either. I probably won't make it on the waiting list anyway. Oh well, I'll just be satisfied with eating submarine sandwhiches at Mr. Hero Restaurant instead.

UPON REFLECTIONS OF GUMMY BEARS AND BOTTLES OF COCA COLA
And so I'm typing this manuscript. I'm not sure where this autobiography is heading towards. I'm hoping that this autobiography will lead to something positive, though it could easily lead to tragedy instead. I'm not counting on something tragic to actually happen. I'm normally a lot more careful. However, it's always good to be prepared for anything. Right now, everything is going right in my life. I'm earning a stable salary at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm paying off my college tuition loans on time and on schedule. With luck, I'll get my own apartment relaunched after a brief detour living in my Biologic Mom's house again. I'm trying hard to fly under the radar so I don't annoy anybody. I can't afford to annoy anybody since I'm working minimum wage. I'm a pleasant person who doesn't offend on purpose. I'm counting on my pleasant personality to prevail in times of crises. Anyway, today is a good day. I'm happily employed and soon I'll be debt free. It's a good step in the right direction.
Thursday, November 11, 2010
ODDS AND ENDS
It's a calm relaxing day in Cleveland, Ohio. I have some free time before I need to clock in to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm spending some of that free time typing on the internet. There isn't much going on in my life beyond repaying college tuition bills and working minimum wage. I'm getting better in my ability to stay on budget. It's not easy to stay on budget, but it's necessary. Part of staying on budget is to realize that I can't pay for everything that I want. It would be nice if I cold win the lottery and become wealthy, but it hasn't happened yet. Oh well, life goes on. The world keeps spinning regardless.

LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING INCLUDING SODA POP AND GUMMIE BEARS
I posted the first draft of this blog before I could actually write anything beyond the title. I'm not sure how it happened, but here I am typing up more than just the title. I'm not sure what to write this blog entry about. I'm making this up as I go along. It would be tempting to say that I'm following a genius plan that took decades to set into motion, but that's not the case. Most of the time I'm making stuff up as I go along. Still, I manage to do good despite myself. So now I'm eating gummy bears and drinking soda pop. I'm typing this in the computer lab with two computers in the cappuccino cafe portion of Buehler's supermarket. I don't actually purchase groceries at the grocery store because I'm living in my Biologic Mom's house. I need to repay my college tuition loans and rebuild my saving account balance back to normal. I'll be back on track again when I get my apartment relaunched again. I'm confident about myself.

THE CONTINUED LIFE AND TIMES OF A NON-MUSICIAN
So I'm typing away in the computer lab with two computers in the cappuccino cafe portion of Buehler's supermarket. My monthly income is limited, but I manage to survive anyway. I enjoy drinking cappuccino. I never had an interest in alcohol. I never understood the point for the stuff. And so I'm still typing away. I'm not sure what I'm going to talk about. I'm just writing down the first thing that comes to mind. I hope that what I'm typing is going to be intelligent. I would like to think that everything I write down is intelligent. However, my opinion may be clouded by the need to make myself appear to be a genius.
I didn't go trick or treating on Halloween Day. I handed out candy to trick or treaters instead. Thanksgiving is going to be a fun holliday. Gummy bears are fun to eat. I never interacted with an actual bear unless I was visiting a zoo. There are questions that I'll never know the answer to. Would my life be different if I took music lessons seriously? Would my life be different if I were a farmer instead? Why is water wet? Why is the sky blue? Sorry, I'm in a very weird mood.

AUTTUMN ARRIVES IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Nothing much is going on my life. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm slowly paying off my Ohio State University and Franklin University college tuition debt. It's a slow gradual process with only a minimum wage employment salery. Still, I'll be debt free if I stick to a rigid budget. There won't be much luxury spending. I've been functioning without luxury for my entire life. I can't miss something that I never had at my disposal. I enjoy working minimum wage. It's a honest work for an honest wage. I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't use drugs. I rarely drink alcohol. I'm still a virgin. Some people might view me as being both honest and boring. I'm not bothered. Honest GOD fearing people always finish first.

THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE MINIMUM WAGE EMPLOYMENT COLLEGE STUDENT
I didn't realize that the Canadian Thanksgiving Day was October 11, 2010. I didn't realize that Canada celebrated Thanksgiving Day a full month early. Hey, the chance to celebrate Thanksgiving Day twice a year is an interesting way to live. Go to Canada to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving Day on October, then travel back to the United States to celebrate American Thanksgiving Day on November. It sets the mind thinking about all the fantastic possiblities. It makes you enjoy the month of October even more than usual. You have to enjoy a month that starts with Canadian Thanksgiving Day and ends with Halloween. Makes life much more interesting and exciting.

SO BEGINS THE NINETEENTH MONTH OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's been raining off and on since Monday. Thursday is supposed to have better weather. Until then, it will be slightly cold and wet. Yes, Auttumn is here. The arrival of Auttumn weather was bound to happen sooner or later. Yes, the arrival of Winter isn't fun. However, the continued arrival of winter is proof that we're not going to be wiped out by the greenhouse effect caused by the destruction of the ozone layer--At least not yet. So here I am. I'm typing away in the computer lab with only two computers in Buehler's Supermarket. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm getting used to posting internet blog accounts. It's better than stuffing a letter into an envelope and pasting a stamp on it. With postage rising every so often, it's great to find a cheaper method of communication.

OKTOBERFEST TURNS TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD
I'm watching a news report on CNN about Oktoberfest turning two hundred years old while typing in the two computer computer lab at Buehlers Supermarket. I didn't realize that Oktoberfest has been around for such a long time. I'm not sure who invented Oktoberfest, but it's a good holiday.
Nothing much is going on in my life beyond watching CNN in Buehler's Supermarket. I'm feeling calm and relaxed. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant while living in Cleveland, Ohio. Yes, I do miss living in Columbus, Ohio. I miss having my own apartment and living on my own terms. I miss the usual hangouts that I enjoyed while living in Columbus, Ohio. However, I will get my own apartment restored. First, I have to pay the United States Government college tuition loans that I owe down to zero. I needed to pay college tuition assistence loans to pay for tuition to attend Ohio State University and Franklin University. Even though I have yet to finish my quest for a Bachelor of Science in Busines Administration, it's better to pay off the college tuition loans right now.

SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE RAIN
There was a rain storm earlier today. There isn't any rain falling anymore---At least there wasn't the last time I checked. Nothing much is going on in my life. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. It's honest labor for an honest wage. I'm slowly making progress to pay off my United States Government college tuition debt. Thankfully, the United States Government college tuition loans doesn't have much interest to pay off. Most of the cash I'm spending in repaying the loans is reducing the principle. That makes all the difference in the world. I'll be able to build a surplus in my saving account so I could get my own apartment relaunched again. Having to move back in with my biologic parents to pay off my college tuition loans is a temporary setback.

ASHLEY MEANS FROM THE ASH TREE AND OTHER THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
Only three and a half months left before the end of the year. Time moves much too quickly for me. I keep getting reminded that I'm only eight years away from being fifty years old. I want to make sure that every second of my life will count for something. I don't want the best years of my life wasted. Yet, before I could graduate college, I'll need to repay my college tuition loans. It would be nice if I could repay my United States Government college tuition loans. However, Direct Loans and Great Lakes Loans are getting very impatient. Actually, Great Lakes Loans is more impatient than Direct Loans. Still, I'm under pressure to get all of my college tuition loans payed off now. I'm still hoping to graduate college with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull that off. Relocating from Columbus, Ohio to Cleveland, Ohio makes attending college classes in Franklin University a challenge. Since Franklin University is located in Columbus, Ohio, I could still attend classes over the internet. Or I could look at local Cleveland, Ohio based opportunities. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

AUTTUMN BEGINS IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I've been surfing the Internet longer than I anticipated. I'm not expecting to spend the entire day typing on the Internet. I'm planning to do other activities. The leaves on the trees have started to change color. About an eighth of the multi-colored leaves have started to fall from the trees and onto the ground. I'm going to need to rack the leaves one of these days. Possibly this Sunday. It's still warm outside with occasional patches of Autumn temperature. I thank GOD everyday for the spell check function on computer programs. I'm not very good when it comes to spelling. It's weird that literature and reading comprehension is my strongest attributes, but I can't spell words worth a darn.

SO BEGINS THE EIGHTEENTH MONTH OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Ideas about what my next unpublished novel is going to be about continues. I have thought about writing the novel CLIMBING THE BUCKEYE MOUNTAIN RANGE OF COLUMBUS, OHIO. Such plans fell apart when I realized that the entire state of Ohio doesn't have any mountains. I didn't want to write a novel that is geographically inaccurate. So I altered my plans regarding my next unpublished novel. Oh well, such things happen.
Thursday, September 2, 2010
SO BEGINS THE EIGHTEENTH MONTH OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm an unpublished novelist. I tend to follow the belief that a person should only write about things they know about. I once thought about writing a fifteen volume literary novel series entitled PARKING LOT WARS. However, I'm not sure how you could make parking lots interesting for fifteen individual four hundred and twenty page novels. Though I have a drivers license, I don't own a car. Since minimum wage employment is my only source of income, I can't afford to wreck a car once a month, every month for fifteen year non-stop. Therefor, a fifteen volume series with each volume entitled PARKING LOT WARS would be a subject I have no knowledge or understanding of.
Still, there are plenty of things for me to write about. Since I'm not likely to get published by a big name publisher, it won't matter what subject my unpublished novels ends up taking. Most of the general audience isn't going to know that I exist anyway. I'm not trying to sound sour. I'm trying to be realistic. Most big name publishers don't consider my unpublished novels marketable. No reason was ever given. It's hard to get a specific reason from a general form rejection letter. I write unpublished novels for recreation and relaxing.
I still have plenty of things to keep me occupied. I have United States Government college tuition assistance debt to repay. I'm still hoping to graduate college with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Life is good.

LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, A CUP OF COFFEE AND A RECHARGED CELL PHONE
I tried to post this entry without much success. Maybe I pressed a button the wrong way. Maybe I pressed the wrong button the right way. Maybe I pressed the wrong button in the wrong way. Whatever the case, I'm trying to rewrite this blog entry from memory. Anyway, this is about the time that I would be preparing for college classes. Instead, I'm spending my time paying off the United States Government college tuition loans that I owe for Ohio State University and Franklin University. The Government college tuition loans firms of Direct Loans and Great Lakes has been getting more and more impatient recently. It's better to get rid of the debt now while I'm still able to do so. I'll return to college when I no longer owe money to Direct Loans and Great Lakes. I enjoy being debt free. I'll be debt free again one and a half years from now (Not counting this year). It's frustrating when the repayment of a debt is a multi-year task. I have to admit that it's easier to spend money to purchase stuff than it is to spend money to reduce a debt. Yet, I can't allow myself to get distracted.
Meanwhile, I'm still employed at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm peddling my bike throught he rain to my place of employment right now. It feels great to be employed. I'm finishing my mug of cappucino right now. Cappuccino is relaxing. Whoever invented coffee is a genius.

THE CONTINUED ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK
It's been a while since I've attending college classes of any sort. I've been spending more time paying off the United States Government college tuition loans that I used to pay the tuition for Ohio State University and Franklin University. Direct Loans and Great Lakes are the organization that I borrowed money for to attend college classes. I'm currently employed working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm enjoying employment in a fast food restaurant. Mr. Hero Restaurant makes among the best fast food restaurant sandwhiches I've ever eaten. It feels great to be employed.

GOOD GRIEF, IS IT ALREADY AUGUST. TIME IF FLYING PAST MUCH TOO QUICKLY
The Skate Park next to the Medina County District Library is already a distant memory. Even the lumber from the skate park ramps are torn down. Now there's just asphalt left and nothing else. Gone is the temporary fence that once blocked access the the area. What used to be the Skate Park and originally packed to capacity is now empty on the best of days. What we think is invincible and permenent could up and vanish without warning if we're not careful. It brings a sort of humble perspective on life.
Friday, August 6, 2010
ANOTHER DAY IN THE LIFE OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK
It's the end of an era. The Skate Park almost next door to the Medina County District Library is gone now. Diminished by constant behavior issues. What's left of the skate park is simply a pile of lumber waiting to be scooped up by construction workers. Yet, the world keeps spinning despite the loss of the Skate Park. I never used the Skate Park. If I ever considered extreme sports involving rollar skates, skateboards or bicycles, the chance have flown by and won't return. As for other portions of my life, I'm in good shape. I'm employed at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm slowly paying off the college tuition loans that I owe the United States Government. Life is good. I wish I had my private apartment restored. I guess I'll need to wait a bit longer for that to happen.
Tuesday, August 3, 2010
SO BEGINS MY SEVENTEENTH MONTH OF RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Remember when I told you about the Skate Park almost next to the Medina County District Library? It was closed down because of constant behavior issues. All those extreme sporting bikers, rollar skaters and skateboarders will need to find somewhere else to roll around. The skate park almost next door to the Medina County District Library was starting to be torn down Sunday July 31, 2010 and it's still going down in ruins. It's safe to assume that the skate park almost next door to the medina County District Library will be gone by the end of the week (possibly even sooner than that). At times there were four people working on the demolition project. Other times, there are five people working on the demolition project. No extreme bikers, extreme rollar skaters nor any extreme skateboarders showed up to take their last view of the skate park before it was torn down. Maybe the asphalt will be jackhammered away into grass. Perhaps a tree will be planted. I know, maybe it will be turned into a basketball court. The possiblities are endless. Still, it's sad to see the skate park go. Oh well, life goes on.

STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IS HERE TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALMOST NEARLY THE REST OF THE CENTURY (GIVE OR TAKE A FEW DECADES)
I'm not really sure what to write about. I'm certain that if I keep typing on the word processor, that something clever will come to me. If nothing clever comes to me, I'll just keep typing anyway. Type. Type. Just keep typing. Something clever and witty will pop into your head eventually. I'm typing another sentence. Maybe I'll type another sentence. I'll just keep typing sentences. Yes, the paragraph is almost nearly done. Should I write another paragraph. Will just one paragraph be enough. I'm still trying to decide. I only have a few seconds to make my mind. Yes, maybe we'll need a second paragraph. Two paragraphs might be sufficient. We'll see what happens.
Welcome to the second paragraph. It's ninety degrees outside. It might rain, but the sky is much too clear and blue for that to happen. The grass is green. I enjoy bright green grass. I always enjoyed bright green grass. I hope you're enjoying the second paragraph. I spent all of five seconds trying to figure out what should be the topic of discussion for the second paragraph. The clock is ticking. I should ride my bike to my place of employment. My internet surfing session is nearly at an end. I hope you enjoy this internet blog. I hope you find it informative. I'm not good when it comes to spelling. Thank GOD for the spell check function for the word processor.

IT'S GOING TO BE A HOT TIME IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT
It's another calm relaxing day. I'm at the medina County District Library on my way to employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I just drank another cup of coffee at Starbucks on the way. Coffee is relaxing. One more month of summer before auttumn takes over. Yes, I wish summer would last a bit longer. However, auttumn and winter both are wonderful too.

POSSIBLE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM TONIGHT
It was difficult to know if I should've worn a raincoat yesterday between 2:30 to 7:00 P.M. yesterday. It rained for close to twenty minutes, then it stopped an hour or so. Then it rained for ten minutes. Then it stopped for between thirty minutes to forty minutes. Then it rained for between ten to fifteen minutes. Then it stopped for the rest of the day. It's been said that the weather in the American midwest tends to be inconsistant. I'm not sure if that's the case for the entire midwest region of the United States, but it's true for both Missouri and Ohio. Anyway, there's no rain falling right now.
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY FOR STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK
The skateboarding park across from the Medina County District Library nearby Center Road has been closed due to behavior issues. The closing of the skateboarding park really doesn't impact me too much. I don't own a skateboard and I'm not into extreme sporting with bicycles. Still, life goes on. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. It feels good to be employed. It's the middle of July. Actually, it's not really the middle of July, but it's close to it. Anyway, I'm in good spirits. Life is good.
Thursday, July 15, 2010
LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING INCLUDING MINIMUM WAGE LABOR
I don't earn much money. What little I earn each month is generated only from minimum wage employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I enjoy working at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Not only have I found employment in a difficult recession based economy, but Mr. Hero Restaurant is an enjoyable place to work at. Yes, I wish I owned a car. Yes, I wish I could pay off my college tuition debt overnight. Maybe I'll be able to enjoy such luxuries on a later date. Being forced to move back in with my Biologic Mother and Step-Dad is a disappointment. However, it's only temporary. I'll get my own apartment up and running again when I pay off my college tuition debt all the way down to zero. Better days are almost within reach.
Thursday, July 8, 2010
ANOTHER PLEASENT SUMMER DAY FOR STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's supposed to rain today. The weather was supposed to get cooler after the rain. However, I don't see the rain falling anytime soon because there isn't a cloud in the sky. However, I've been wrong about the weather in the past. We'll see what happens later today. At any case, I'm in the Medina County District Library nearby Center Road. I'm on my way to employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Today is payday. It's always good to recieve a paycheck.
Friday, July 2, 2010
SO BEGINS THE SIXTEENTH MONTH OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm in the Medina County District Library nearby Center Road as I'm typing this. It's a calm relaxing day. Nothing much is going on. It's two days before Independence Day on the Fourth of July. The Fourth of July has always been fun and exciting. Nothing much is going on in my life beyond that. I wish I had an automobile at my disposal. Instead, I'm riding my bicycle. Still, I'm getting good exercise. There's one of the advantages of taking a break from college classes to pay off United States Government college tuition loans for Ohio State University and Franklin University. I don't have any homework. However, I'm still dependent on minimum wage employment. Still, it's nice to earn a regular salary.
Monday, June 21, 2010
TODAY IN CLEVELAND, IT'S SUNNY WITH THE VAGUE CHANCE FOR RAIN (THE WEATHER REPORT IS OFTEN WRONG THOUGH)
I'm in the Medina County District Library typing this document. Fathers Day has come and left. It was a holiday that was didn't have an actual father present, but it was still cool anyway. I got to spend time with my Biologic Mom and my brother Mitchel instead. I'm on my way to employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Payday is a few days from now. It's great to earn a regular paycheck again. I ate lots of chicken yesterday---Both grilled and fried. I ate breakfast cereal, orange juice and coffee. I'm forty-two years old and I'm still not sure how to spell the word cereal. Thank goodness for the spell check function in word processors. I'd be lost without it. Spelling has never been my strongest point. I'll get better in spelling eventually.
Friday, June 18, 2010
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR
So continues my fifteenth month of residence in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm surfing the internet in the library on my way to employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I enjoy working at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Mr. Hero Restaurant serves really delicious food. The cheap prices are even better with an employee discount. Finding employment at Mr. Hero Restaurant was certainly a fantastic development for me. I'm having a wonderful summer. Summer 2010 is even better because I'm earning a regular paycheck. It's great to have a reliable source of income. Having a reliable source of income makes life so much better. n

IT'S CLOUDY OUTSIDE, BUT NO CHANCE FOR RAIN TODAY
It's slightly chilly outside, but I know the weather will warm up. Yesterday, the weather reports predicted rain, but nothing arrived. Yet I brought along my raincoat inside my backpack anyway. It's always good to be on the safe side, just in case. I'm slowly making regular payments to reduce to college tuition debt that I owe Ohio State University and Franklin University. I didn't drop out of school. I'm just taking some time off to reduce my economic debt. I try very hard to be as debt free as humanly possible. I'm in good spirits. Today is going to be a great day.

LABEL COULDN'T BE SAVED. CHARACTERS WASN'T ACCEPTED.
I still don't know much about computer programming. I flunked the Microsoft Office computer application when it was taught to me at Ohio State University. I passed the education lesson on how to use Microsoft Office computer application when it was offered to me at Franklin University. The time I spent taking college classes at Franklin University was much more productive than the time I spent taking college classes at Ohio State University. The reason is that math is hard. Ohio State University spends too much time with impossible to understand math lessons. Franklin University offers easier to understand math lessons. That makes all the difference in the world. However, looks as though I won't be attending classes at Franklin University anymore now that I'm living in Cleveland, Ohio. Still, I was able to take ninety percent of the nessary classes except for the final four needed to graduate. Plus, I got a 3.0 grade point average at Franklin University. That should make college class tranfer easy to accomplish.
RAIN IS PREDICTED TODAY, BUT IT HASN'T ARRIVED YET. I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD THING. OR RATHER, I HOPE IT'S A GOOD THING. RAIN IS FUN TO WATCH.
I've read news reports about Abby Sunderland being rescued from the Indian Ocean when the mast on her sailboat was broken. Her efforts to sail around the world was hindered in the Indian Ocean. She's alive and well, but her efforts to become the youngest person to sail around the world has ended badly. Still, it's nice to know that she survived her voyage without injury.
THINGS TO DO IN CLEVELAND WHEN YOU'VE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR THE PAST FIFTEEN MONTHS
I've been eating packages gummie bears and gummie worms as I'm writing this. I bottle of Coke is nearby as well. I'm typing this in the Medina County District Library. I'm scheduled to work Mr. Hero roughly one hour and forty-seven minutes from now. I'm briefly surfing the internet along the way. Fast food employment is a fun source of income. I've been working fast food for such a long time, it's hard to think of myself doing anything else. I do desire employment in business administration some day. When I pay off the college tuition debt that I owe Ohio State University and Franklin University, I'll certainly do so. Paying off my financial debt is very important to me. Anyway, life is great. I'm in good spirits.

THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I still have sunburns on both of my arms. However, the redness of the burns is getting lesser with each passing day. That's fortunate. I forgot to use sunblock one day and I'm paying for the mistake. Now I'm wearing sunblock more often. Life certainly will be getting better. It rained yesterday morning. It won't be raining again until this Saturday. Bright sunny summer days is always a lot of fun.

RAIN FALLS ACROSS CLEVELAND, OHIO---AT LEAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS
The truth is that I'm bad in spelling. I'm dependent on the spell check function on work processing programs. I'm not ashamed of my dependency on using spell check when using word perfect and Microsoft word. Whatever makes it easier for me to compose a manuscript on the computer is preferred. Personally, I prefer word perfect over Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word has picked up this weird habit of placing a huge epic sized gap between paragraphs. Why would a comptuer program do such a thing? It makes no sense. No junior high, high school or college class would like to see epic sized gaps between paragraphs. With luck, such a glitch would be removed the next time there's an microsoft office program update. At any rate, I'm sticking with word perfect for a little bit longer. Or failing that, I'll simply use an earlier form of Microsoft Word program that doesn't place epic sized gaps between paragraphs.

LIFE AND THE PREDICTED CHANCE FOR RAIN
It's predicted to rain. There was a brief light drizzle that lasted for less than two minutes when I peddled my bike to the Medina County District Library. Nothing much beyond that. I have my rain coat in my backpack just in case. I've been doing so for mostly the entire week. It's too hot outside to actually wear the blue colored raincoat. However, rain keeps getting predicted so I can't leave it behind. I don't own an automobile so the backpack is the only way to carry the thing. Still, it's better than rain is predicted. Rain is great for fish, ducks and plants. The trees of the Earth is thankful that rain continues to fall.

SUMMER IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's summer in Cleveland, Ohio. I stopped by the Medina County District Library on my way to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. It's predicted to rain for most of this week, but the weather prediction mostly turned out to be false. I still have a raincoat packed in my backpack anyway just in case. It's always good to be safe rather than sorry. It still would be a good day even if it rains. I always enjoyed thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are calm, soothing and relaxing.

MEMORIAL DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Today is the last day for the month of May. Today is also Memorial Day. Today is the day we pay tribute to all the men and women who served in the Armed Forces in the defense of the United States of America. We pay tribute to those who served in the Armed Forces so that their efforts won't be in vain. We are thankful that those who are in the Armed Forces are fighting for our freedom overseas in foreign lands. We are in debt to them all.

THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
May is ending. The month of June will soon be upon us all. I ate breakfast roughly one hour and fifty-two minutes ago. I'm now in the Medina County District Library typing away on the internet. I'm on my way to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Life is good in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm glad that I relocated to this city. It's been a while since I've been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. There's lots of fun stuff to do in Cleveland, Ohio. Not right now because I have college tuition loans to pay off. But certainly for a later date.

ANOTHER PLEASANT DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Nothing much is going on today. I'm a resident of Cleveland, Ohio. I'm employed at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm taking a break from college classes so I could pay off my Ohio State University and Franklin University college tuition assistence repayments. The bill collectors for the government college tuition loan assistance has been getting very impatient recently. I've created a financial budget and I'm struggling to stick to it. It's tough to stick to a rigid financial budget, but I'll be better off in the long run because of it.

THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's getting colder instead of warmer. The cold weather isn't winter level, but it's kind of close to it. I'm not sure it's supposed to be this cold this close to June. However, I'm sure the cold weather is bound to be temporary. It's a wonderful day. I'm in good spirits. I stopped by the Medina County District Library nearby Center Road on my way to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm going to earn my minimum wage salery today.
Friday, May 7, 2010
APRIL SHOWS BRINGS MAY FLOWERS---AT LEAST, THAT'S THE THEORY
I've been resident of Cleveland, Ohio for the past one year and two months. It's amazing how quickly time flies. I'm only starting to pay off my college tuition debts. Yes, it took close to a year before I was financially stable enough to do so. It will feel good when the college tuition debt that I owe Ohio State University and Franklin University is finally cleared away. It would also feel good when I'm able to resume my college classes, but that's another issue for another day.
MAYBE IT WILL RAIN, MAYBE IT WON'T RAIN. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN
The weather reports states that there might be the chance for multiple thunderstorms today. Yes, the sky is cloudy. Yes, it's normally cold before a thunderstorm and cold weather is upon us. However, there isn't a drop of water falling from the skies. It could go either way folks. At any case, I'm surfing the internet in the public library. I'm feeling calm and relaxed. I'm in good spirits. I got the rear tire on my bicycle fixed. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Life is good.
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
ANOTHER PLEASENT SPRING DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm currently employed at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm slowly paying off my college tuition debts to Ohio State University and Franklin University. I do have plans to get a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. However, my college plans are being briefly delayed so that I could pay off my college tuition debts. I know that my financial debts will be paid in full if I keep to a rigid budget. The weather outside is getting warmer. Three days of rain has been replaced by clear blue skies. I'm in a good mood. Life is good. I have a huge craving for cappucino.
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm feeling calm and relaxed. The first repayment of my college tuition loans begins today. The first step towards becoming debt free starts today. It feels good to slowly and gradually remove all the money that I owe down to zero again. There's a calm and relief that goes along with being debt free. I can't wait to get to that state of mind again. My life is improving and I feel good about it.
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
RAIN FALLS IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's cold and wet outside again. While last week almost felt like summer, this week feels more like spring. I'm still employed at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm paying off the college tuition debt that I owe Ohio State University and Franklin University. It's going to take roughly two years (give or take a few months) to have everything paid off down to zero. After that, I'll be debt free. It's going to feel good to be debt free again. Yes, such a concept is concievable.
Wednesday, April 7, 2010
ANOTHER DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
It's supposed to rain today. The weather report doesn't say the exact hour, minute or second that rain was supposed to fall from the sky. The general public was simply told that rain is likely to fall while being joined along with thunder and lightening. So I bring along my rain coat with the anticipation of rain. If rain doesn't come, then there's nothing to worry about. There's nothing wrong with being overly cautious.

AS I WITNESS THE END OF MARCH AND THE BEGINING OF APRIL
My blue colored bicycle is barely hanging together. The peddles are almost about to fall off. The rear tire feels soft, but still operational. Still, peddling a bike is faster than walking. I don't wear out my shoes so quickly when I'm traveling by bicycle. Yes, I wish I owned an automobile. However, ever since I crashed my car alongside Riverside Drive in 1995, I've been slowly and gradually trying to regain my confidence to operate an automobile again. Plus, I can't afford to purchase or maintain an automobile yet. I'll worry about that later on a future date.
Saturday, March 27, 2010
THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Nothing much happened to me in March 2010. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I don't own an automobile so I'm peddling my bike from place to place instead. I'm temporary living with my Biologic Mom and Step-Dad Dave and my brother Mitchel until my college tuition debts to Ohio State University and Franklin University is paid off. I'll get my apartment up and running again when I'm debt free. April 2010 will be the start of my second year of residence in Cleveland, Ohio. I don't regret relocating to Cleveland, Ohio. Relocation was the best thing that happened to me. It feels good to live in a city that's host to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.
SNOWSTORMS IN THE SPRINGTIME
There's not much snow left on the ground---Most of it has melted. However, there still is tiny patches of snow here and there. The ice that covered most of the streets, most of the parking lots and all of the sidewalks has melted off. It's still cold outside. It really doesn't feel like spring weather at all. However, it's good to be employed. It's good to earn a steady paycheck while there's a recession going on. Being employed is the most important thing. I'm employed by Mr. Hero Restaurant. The best part about being employed is that I can finally start paying off my college tuition debts to both Ohio State University and Franklin University. It's going to be wonderful when I finally pay off my college tuition debts.
Friday, March 26, 2010
ANOTHER DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm still trying to get used to logging into Blogger using the google system. It's not taking me nearly as long as it took the last time. Anyway, spring officially returned and so has the snow. There is a slight blanket of snow on the ground. There was nothing in the weather report to warn me of such a thing. It came by surprise when I was wearking a thin raincoat and a sweatshirt---Not nearly enough for winter. Plus, it was raining before the snow arrived. So I was both soaked and freezing. Thankfully, that was in the past. I'm ready for winter because I'm armed with my winter coat, scarf and winter gloves. I'm not going to be taken by surprise a second time. Anyway, it's a good day. I would've made a snowperson today, but there still isn't enough snow for that yet. Maybe a few more inches of snow and I could really have fun with winter's return.

THERE'S BOUND TO BE TROUBLE WHEN YOU SURF THE INTERNET
Google appears to have purchased www.blogger.com. In the process, it took fourteen minutes to log onto this website. I finally made it, though it took longer than expected. With luck, the corporate merger between google and blogger will get smoother over time.

ANOTHER WARM SPRING DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I woke up in the morning. I showered and groomed myself. After getting dressed, I fed and walked the pet dogs---Freckles (a female canine), Furby the Furball (a female canine) and Tippy (a male canine). Furby's cage needed fresh newspaper. All three pet dogs eats dry dog food. One orange juice container used as a dry dog food scoop for each dog. I ate breakfast while reading the morning paper. Breakfast cereal with sliced bannanas, orange juice and coffee. I never eat my breakfast cereal with milk. I prefer my dry cereal to remain dry. I'm odd that way. Anyway, I peddled from my house to the Medina County District Library. I'm surfing the internet before clocking in to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. The good news is that the recession is slowly comming to an end. The unemployment in Cleveland, Ohio is lower than the unemployment rate in Columbus, Ohio.

THE CITIZENS OF CLEVELAND, OHIO REJOYCE IN THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING
The snow is finally starting to melt. It's predicted to rain for most of this week. Rain hasn't fallen yet because it's supposed to start this evening. I'm ready for anything. I mailed my Federal, State and Local Income Tax forms. I'm not going to pay anything because I only earned roughly $5,000.00 for the entire year 2009. I'm hoping to have better financial prospects for the year 2010. Oh yes, this is the best time to watch the film 2010. It's great fun to compare the film events of 2010 with the actual year 2010. I'm still waiting for a manned mission to Jupiter. Considering that NASA has had most of it's government funding taken away, it would be a mircle if we get to see another NASA spacecraft orbiting the Earth once a month like usual. Anyway, I'm heading for work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. It's time to earn my monthly paycheck. Minimum wage employment is still my exclusive source of income.

SO BEGINS THE SECOND YEAR OF MY RESIDENCE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Time flies very quickly. It's hard to believe that an entire year has already flown past. April 2010 will be the first year anniversery of my relocation to Cleveland, Ohio. It's hard to believe that I actually followed through with my plan to relocate to Cleveland, Ohio. It's hard to believe that my relocation to Cleveland, Ohio has been so successful. Relocating to Cleveland, Ohio offers me the opportunity to start over with a fresh clean slate. Brand new beginings is the theme for the years 2009 and 2010. I shall take advantage of my opportunity to start over with a fresh clean slate with enthusiasm.

WINTER IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
My birthday arrived and left. I'm now forty-two years old. I'm not getting older. Rather, I'm getting younger. At least, that's what I'm telling myself everyday. I shoveled the driveway to my Biologic Mom's house twice. Once yesterday and again today. I've been living with my biologic Mom since April 2009. I'll be able to get my own apartment up and running again when I finally pay off the college student loans I owe the United States Government. Government college student loans was needed to attend college classes at Franklin University. I'm taking a brief break from college classes as I try to navagate the economic recession.
And so I've turned forty-two. I'm one year older than I was last week. I missed out on the chance to be born on Valentines Day and ended up being born on President's Day instead. It's not normal for President's Day to be held on February 15. Normally President's Day is either on George Washington's Birthday or Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Any motivation for a three day weekend is still a good motivation for relaxation. There will be plenty of time to job hunting when Tuesday arrives twenty-four hours later.

SNOW, SNOW SNOW AND MORE SNOW
It's getting closer to a blizard here Cleveland, Ohio. Lake Erie getting completely frozen over was supposed to lead towards calmer snow storms. However, the snow keeps falling regardless. I'm still peddling my bike despite the falling snow. I know it's crazy to do so, but my bicycle is still my best mode of transportation. I can't afford to purchase or maintain an automobile. At any rate, my three speed bicycle is great exercise. It's always a good idea to stay in great shape.
Thursday, February 4, 2010
ANOTHER DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
I'm job hunting again. No positive results yet. I plan to complete the local, state and federal income tax for 2009. I'm not sure how much income tax I need to pay for 2009, but I'm pretty certain that it won't be huge. I wasn't on the payroll for Burger King Restaurant, Wendy's Restaurant and K-Mart long enough. Seven months of unemployment in 2009 tends to have an impact on the income tax forms. I'm not enjoying the prospect of filling out the income tax forms. However, it will all be completed if I get it over with as quickly as possible.
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
WINTER IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
Thus begins the month of February. I'm still unemployed. Finding employment to replace my job at K-Mart has taken longer than expected. Still, I'm not giving up. On the bright side, my birthday is on the fifteenth of this month. Birthday celebrations have always been exciting and fantastic. I'm going to be forty-two years old.
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
SNOW RETURNS TO CLEVELAND, OHIO
So begins the first month of my second unemployment crises. I'm filling out two job application forms a day every day. It's not easy to find employment when there's a recession. I keep praying to GOD that the recession will end and the United States economy returns to normal. I refuse to give up. I know I'll find employment again. In the meantime, I shall create a rigid financial budget and I'll stick to it.
Friday, January 15, 2010
ANOTHER COLD WINTER DAY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
My employment at K-Mart was temporary seasonal employment. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day passed, I'm unemployed again. I've been job hunting for the past two weeks. I don't have any job interview offers yet. I'm not giving up. I know I'll be employed again. I need lots of confidence when job hunting. It's a rough economy out there. The recession is getting better, but it's still not helping my employment prospects. I still need to pay off my college tuition student loans. I can't do so without money. Minimum wage employment is my only source of income. Without minimum wage employment, I'm flat broke one hundred percent of the time.
Thursday, January 14, 2010
UNEMPLOYED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
So begins the first month of my second unemployment crises. I already know that my unemployment will be brief. The first unemployment crises last year lasted seven months. I'm going to work hard to make sure that my second unemployment crises this year will be even shorter than that. To accomplish that result, I've made a vow to myself to fill out two job application forms a day minimum. Yes, filling out all those job application forms isn't easy. However, unemployment is even rougher than that. I need confidence in myself that I have what it takes to be a good employee.
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
FIVE DAYS AFTER NEW YEARS DAY 2010
It's official. We reached the year 2010. This is around the time that we watch the science fiction motion picture 2010 again. Then we compare notes how the real 2010 compare to the fictional film 2010. It's pretty much the same as comparing the real 2001 with the events in the fictional film 2001. You're going to be disappointed. There are no Howard Johnson hotels in a orbiting space station that allows civilian use. There are no manned missions to Jupiter. There are no frequent manned missions to the moon. In fact, there won't be a NASA space program when the space shuttle program is strangely discontinued for reasons I never truely understood. Plus, there's the September 11 tragedy in the real year 2001.
The fictional movie 2001 still has the World Trade Center Towers in perfect condition. In the real 2001 to 2010, we're marching off to war in Iraq, Afganistan and possibly Yemen and Pakistan. In the fictional films 2001 and it's sequel 2010, the United States is fighting a cold war against the Soviet Union. Glasnost never existed in the fictional films 2001 and it's sequel 2010. You could spend hours comparing the real years 2001 and 2010 with it's Arthur C Clark and Stanley Kubrick composed fictional film counterparts. However, I may not want to live in a world where the planet Earth is about to enter a nuclear holocaust after Russia bombed the World Trade Center. Turning Jupiter into a sun may have caused a temporary solution, but I'd still be very nervous.
