What I learned in 2007
I have to say, 2007 was a crappy year for me. Here’s a list of things I learned. 1) Family > everything. 2) Never go into business with someone you’ve known for less than three months. That’ll give you enough time to see the happy/sad/sober/drunk/depressed side of them, and see how they treat you. Usually, [...]
Free as a bird now
Last night I quit my WoW guild. It’s something that was coming for a few weeks, especially after everyone I was friends with left. I was stoked to keep the guild moving, but then the new guild leader posted a few polls about what direction everyone wanted the guild to go in and I was [...]
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe
On October 5, I turn 40. In some ways, I really don’t care, but it is an important day and I wanted to spend it doing something special. Sure, the usual thing is to go to Vegas or Atlantic City or something, but then you have to bring people and most people don’t want to [...]
A day at the Faire
Yesterday we all went to the New York Renaissance Faire. Back in college I used to go there every day it was opened. Last year was my first time there since around 1989. As always it was a lot of fun. I always love seeing people in costume, but what’s funny is when you catch [...]
Obituaries on wheels
There seems to be a new trend in New Jersey – putting obituaries on cars. These aren’t people that died in the armed forces, either. “Beloved grandfather” or “Favorite uncle” grace the rear and side windows of cars along the Garden State Parkway. At first I thought it was for people that died in Iraq [...]
Candy of the week
The reason why I felt compelled to post an image of a Milky Way bar is because I haven’t had one in so damn long. When you spend 7 years not eating junk, you realize how much you missed something. The thing is, when your pants stop fitting you realize again why you stopped eating [...]
Fatkins Diet
Kim told me about a little cartoon about a squirrel ranting about the Atkins Diet. It sums up my feelings about it perfectly. To sum up: STOP EATING Click here
SNL
So today I started transferring all this crap on VHS to DVD. The first tape I looked at was an epsiode of SNL from 1994 with Patrick Stewart. Why in the world I kept this around is beyond me. It was just not funny. Half way through it I had to just stop the transfer [...]
Go outside!
What a gorgeous day it was today. This is the day when you know it’s time to move everything from the leather to the denim. Although the day started out with what had to be done around the house, towards the end, we all went and played in the backyard. I realized now that there [...]
Focus
Here’s my dilemma. Apart from real life (friends and family), I do the following, and not in this order: Radio Station Guitar Unreal Tournament (can you believe it’s been 5 years?) Everquest (can you belive it’s been 5 years, also?) Misc. computer stuff (Photoshop, Applescripts, OS Customization, Bluetooth) Home theater goodies Web site management How [...]
