I'd like this one to be about my daily grind.  I'm challenging myself to keep up better with my chronicle of my life and ideas.&lt;br /&gt;   Today has been a fairly relaxing day at home.  We're hoping to have another gaming night with Brian Delaney and our neighbors Jenny and Justin (though Jenny is working and can't come this time).  We enjoy board games with our friends on the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;   Lain fell asleep in my arms today.  I love when she does that because it shows so much trust and comfort relaxing with me.&lt;br /&gt;   John F. is playing Sonic: Zero Gravity that we rented from Blockbuster.&lt;br /&gt;   The job situation is still up in the air, but it's been that way so long I'm getting very numb to the whole idea.  There was never much I could do about the problem anyway.  It would make no sense to look for another job until I lose this one given that my benefits are so good.&lt;br /&gt;   Well, I should be updating a lot more here.  So, expect to see more posts from me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7989834-8474758337331427974?l=johnisonfire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnisonfire.blogspot.com/feeds/8474758337331427974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7989834&amp;postID=8474758337331427974' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7989834/posts/default/8474758337331427974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7989834/posts/default/8474758337331427974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnisonfire.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-update-war.html' title='Blog update war'/><author><name>John Nelson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01057676010829305554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989834.post-113822820934536983</id><published>2006-01-25T14:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-25T14:30:48.046-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hey Paul!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://johnisonfire.blogspot.com/"&gt;John's Magic Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How's it goin'?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7989834-113822820934536983?l=johnisonfire.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://johnisonfire.blogspot.com/feeds/113822820934536983/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7989834&amp;postID=113822820934536983' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7989834/posts/default/113822820934536983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7989834/posts/default/113822820934536983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://johnisonfire.blogspot.com/2006/01/hey-paul.html' title='Hey Paul!'/><author><name>John Nelson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01057676010829305554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989834.post-113718434605823346</id><published>2006-01-13T12:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-13T12:33:19.303-08:00</updated><title type='text'>1</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;table style='border:1px solid black'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=center&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;You are a   &lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=4&gt;&lt;B&gt;Social Liberal&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;
