One for the road…

There is a reality show on M-Net called Amish in the City. Yes, you heard me! Whoever thought up this show should be hung, strung and quartered and then fed to a thousand foul smelling maggots living on the genitals of the troll who resides in the swamps located on the seventh moon of [...]

Know any good lullabies?

Splitting headache! Dog tired!
Pity me all good people who read this blog. No really, I mean it… so please, go right ahead and do it. I am as worn out as a cucumber in a convent and all I ask is to go home and sleep for at least an hour.
At 3:30 this morning I [...]

Into the future…

Ok… lets get down to the more serious stuff for a bit.
I have a job interview lined up for tomorrow evening after work. I am excited about having the interview, but I am approaching it with a certain amount of caution and skepticism as I am as yet not one hundred percent sure of [...]

Nobody does it like me

Some day soon I am going to learn to do things the right way and NOT make an ass out of myself. In my defense, I ought to be able to get away with the same things others seemingly get away with.

Especially, when she has been on her feet for most of the evening and is speeding past you with four plates of quesadillas [...]

Let’s take it from the top… one more time.

A room with a view, please?

Someone sent me this joke by e-mail. I thought it was kinda funny. No prizes for guessing that I failed the test.
What can I say… I don’t have very many MENSA (if any at all) moments, especially not before 9 in the morning. I am taking the room with a view… the one in the [...]

Toy soldiers

Friday was my first experience with paintball. It was more fun than I had anticipated it to be.
I’m sure I looked like an complete and utter doofus in my camouflage kit, but what the heck, you only live once.
Still, being a doofus was a step up from the guys who passionately believed themselves to be [...]

Send in the clowns

Yesterday’s team activity was a riot (it truly was) and I had fun. A bunch of overworked, unfit and exercise deprived adults competing on a mini-obstacle course. By no means a pretty sight! Jumping through hoops, climbing ropes, climbing trees, carrying logs, traversing the river and lots of running. As few ppl actually fell into [...]
