Introspective

For a guy who whines about the inherent difficulties of taking life too seriously, I think too much on things that are of little value to me.

Not in the mood to play along.

Let’s rant, shall we? For no particular reason, other than I feel “it is time”.

Brainless

Someone at work reminded me that Cinco De Mayo will be celebrated on Friday.
“Really?” was all I could muster at such short notice.
Then as she walked away, I asked, “Wait… cinco de Mayo is Spanish for the 5th of May, right?”
“Yes, it is”
“So you just told me that Friday will the 5th of May… in [...]
