No Croatoan at this Roanoke

It's been forever since i blogged and I've decided to get out of my shell again and roam the self deluding halls of the internet with my ramblings again.

Let's start with being unemployed....it sucks ass! Nothing makes me question my professional experience more than several interviews where i'm told i "almost" got the job. I realize that testing is a new direction for me but i have all the background needed to perform the job right along other experienced testers.

Rant off/

Today i headed to the gym and decided to stop by the Roanoke park
since the weather was decent enough.


We've had a late winter here (or at least it feels like it...christ..it's almost May) but there were signs that warmer weather was right around the corner.

The park was named after Roanoke, Virginia, the first English settlement in the United States.
I came across a few hints of Spring that brightened my mood.



As i was walking, i put on the bands latest band practice on my IPOD and took the following pictures listening to new songs we are working on. For some reason i love taking pictures of clouds and Power Lines. I think that's left over from my younger days being inspired by R.E.M. video's from the 80's.


As i was leaving the park, i came across this and thought how ironic that this park was called Roanoke. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke_Colony )
