Firm In My Belief
I had a lot of fun. Ate good food. And had fun company.
I found it interesting, though, at one point the TV was on and we were all watching it. For those who do not know, I do not watch TV. So, it is always odd when it’s “get around the TV time.” Granted, this [...]
The Importance Of My Bumper
On an offramp from the freeway, there had been a small accident. Two cars. Probably some bumper damage. No mangled bodies or metal, no blood, no ambulances, no helicopters–nothing but two people who had “dinged” each others cars. This happened on a one lane offramp, just as it was exiting the freeway. What really bothered [...]
Conversations With The Sheep
I thought I’d share this conversation with everyone in lieu of a rant, because I think it speaks for itself. Also, I want to note in this conversations, I did say that this is only one of the reasons I am an atheist. I do want to remind you that I am having a discussion [...]
Job Security
There was a common theme in the conversations, coming from the other people I had it with. We were talking about leaving a job to do something you really want to do.
“Yeah, but, sometimes you just have to do what is right. You have to live. You cannot just leave someplace because you are unhappy. [...]
Stop Apologizing
Every has one of these or knows someone who has plenty of them.
My questions to you is… what about the people who say “I’m sorry” too much.
To me, that is just as bad. If I am working in customer service, doing something for a customer is… MY JOB! If a customer wants some help getting [...]
Beats Me
The largest response to articles I have gotten is the “School Bullying” article.
In my improv class today, we had to play a character for a sit down talk session. This was pre-planned characters (but not dialogue) by the people portraying the characters.. Most of the characters were abused and hurt and depressed. What the hell?!
Here [...]
Silence
He left a great mark on this planet and I hope you take this time to read or reread some of his work.
What I Want, Part 2
I want a fun job.
I want to do something important.
I want a bath tub I can fit in.
I want to always have cool water to drink.
I want all TV dinner’s to be twenty cents.
I want to not have a dent in my bed because I’ve never rotated my mattress.
I want a real book shelf.
I want [...]
I Give Up
I’m a little tired. A little apathetic. And very drained.
But, as always, I did see something that bothered me.
I was thinking about what I was going to write today and I needed some inspiration. So I started reading random profiles on AOL Instant Messenger.
The very first one I read did it for me:
i kick ass [...]
Chomp Chomp Chomp
As I sit here, staring at the bag, I have come to a conclusion. On this bag, there are several “selling points” to get you to come back to Del Taco. The very first one struck me.
“We’ve got a Macho Burrito ™ that’s over one pound.”
The American culture (and more?) is so saturated with consumption, [...]
