The New and Improved YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKS Weblog!

Good Afternoon! If you’re here reading this, then you already know my blog has moved to WordPress! I wanted to take a moment to fill you all in about the new changes and features of my new blog.

First, if you look in the header, to the right of the title, you will find my customized pages. These will probably change often, so check on them periodically. Yes, I even added the infamous “Everything Kyle Hates” list. I also added a page so I can list the titles of all of my completed lyrics. The “released” section contains the titles of the songs in which I have released the lyrics to the public. The “unreleased” section contains the titles of the songs in which the lyrics themselves have not been released to the public for one reason or another. Makes sense, huh?

Next, you’ll notice I have 2 columns on the right hand side of the page. I haven’t gotten everything exactly where I want them yet, so those will probably change around a few more times over the next several days until I’m happy with the design. I will also be adding several more features on that side of the page as time goes by.

In an unusual move, I am no longer requiring comments to be posted by members only. I’m usually paranoid about allowing comments because 1) I hate spam, and 2) I hate rude and obnoxious comments. However, the comments still are put on hold until I approve them to be posted on my blog – you just don’t NEED to be a member any longer to post one.

I imported all of my posts from Blogger, so if you come across any blogger specific entries in my previous posts, ignore them. An example would be an entry about something new I added to blogger, etc…

If you have any suggestions for a featureĀ on my blog, please let me know. If you don’t like a feature, let me know how I can change it. As I keep adding to my new blog, I will post updates as needed to help you navigate my site better.

Now for the actual post…

I was going to attend church today, however I was shocked to find that it was…cancelled? Yep…apparently they decided not to hold a service at 2pm like was originally advertised. That’s ok, I’ll just watch today’s Fellowship Church service online like I normally do. I think tonight I’m going to watch the Nascar race. It’s really hot and sticky today, which is a bit uncomfortable, so I don’t really want to go anywhere and do anything. I found out that they have started the evacuation of Keesler Air Force Base due to the Hurricane in the Gulf. As you know, Keesler AFB is where my Tech Training was during the summer. It makes me glad I’m not there anymore.

I think I’ll end it here for now. Take care and have a wonderful evening!

It’s Dark in Here!

I went bowling tonight for a couple hours, and while I was there, the power went out all over base. I stayed at the bowling center for a couple minutes hoping it would come on, but no such luck. As a matter of fact, it came on over 2 hours later. Everyone left the dorms and gathered in the parking lot, so I took the opportunity to grab a cigar and enjoy the dark night. Every star was visible, and I even saw a meteor. I met a guy outside who’s only been here a week. We decided to walk around and try to find someone to ask about what happened with the power. We were about to go ask a security forces dude, but then he busted someone, so that was out of the picture. It finally came back on a few minutes ago. I’m in the process of transferring all of my lyrics into my new notebooks. It’s a time consuming process.

I did, however, bowl a 145, my best ever tonight, lol. That’s it! Goodnight!
