My Internal Monologue

-
Twitter for me is the ultimate expression of self thought for the whole world to see. Talk about a random stream of mental hubris. What's been on my mind this week?


  • Nothing like having theme music from Super Mario Bros 3 in your head all day. I'm constantly stopping & asking myself why. I get no answer.
  • I did manage to buy a griddle tonight. Who wants pancakes?
  • Sometimes I like to turn on the GPS on my phone just to follow myself around. No wonder I always feel like I'm being watched!
  • I come home wanting a healthy snack. I leave negations with a cup of sugar free chocolate pudding and a fun sized bag of cool ranch Doritos!
  • I worked for a Blockbuster for about a year. I wonder if I can tell people that I was in the movie industry. Technically...I was!
  • I popped some popcorn. It's the simple things sometimes. Getting the scorched burned to hell smell out of the house though? Not so simple...
  • Just be glad you can't hear me sing. I can make a Celine Dion song sound much much worse than it is.
  • Janine told me I have ear hair. Question is, do I quickly remove such a horrible sign of old age or do as my grandfather did and braid it...
  • I said "H/T" earlier for hat tip. What if I don't wear a hat? Can't I just skull nod? I have a skull for sure! S/N® you heard it here first.
As you were.

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after

Dear Topaz, Today was a very good day. It was seasonable, but a little warm for this late in September. The sun was out, and some clouds rolled in. It felt like a pretty normal day. Work went well. Of course, being Friday, people are in better spirits and with some of the senior leadership out of the office, a few extra laughs were had with my associates. The ride to work and home was fairly typical. There's still entirely too many people who would prefer to focus on other things rather than driving. It's also nice to see some people heading out of town. I always imagine they're going a happy occasion to see family or celebrate a birthday or a wedding over the weekend. The boys are doing well. Their grades are holding up. Of course, they're both grounded, for various things. Their room's still a mess. The youngest is getting used to middle school and the oldest decided he likes Green Day. Janine and I are very disappointed in this development, and we ho
