Random Post Time

-

At least once every six months, I open my blog and I start writing random things. This time I feel as though I'm letting off some steam to this wonderful world that I live in. Don't take it personal, it's just me being random.

And go!

  • Thank you for giving me the time by telling me it's 1700 hours, Sargent!
  • If you paid fifty dollars to join a social network, your smarts are showing.
  • If you are on the interstate and you're not sure if you are "Slower Traffic" and cars are passing you to your right, you are "Slower Traffic". Move right (once all the aggravated people pass you to the right, that is).
  •  If you resort to name calling over anyone's choice in mobile phone, you need a hobby that does not involve a computer, mobile phone, or the internet.
  • If you don't know who's on your local ballot and you are completely uneducated about what's going on in the world, I'm sorry, you should stay home this year on Election Day. Otherwise, if you do know and don't participate, you get exactly what you failed to put into it. Learn!
  • Eating right is hard. Most of us have no idea how to eat right and they're sure not going to learn from people judging and using their good health for oneupmanship. Teach!
  • If you choose to live a life free of religion, stop trying to shove that decision down my throat. You're worse than the people that you claim to be so annoyed by.
  • Freedom of speech is great, but my freedom not to hear your bullcrap is even greater.
  • Over 38 years I have developed a mastery of tying my shoes. This does not make me an expert. 
  • In that same vein, if you consider yourself educated (past tense), you could not be more wrong about yourself. Every day is an education, we're educated when we're dead.
  • So you want to be a beer snob. Good. For. You.
  • Temper tantrums stopped working for you when you were two.
  • Jay London is the epitome of random comedy. Thank you.

For My Friend

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
