Classy Broads
I just saw Amanda Knox on TV doing something Amanda Knox-ie. Now I’m wondering if she’ll ever have a normal dating life, because these are the things I think about. I wondered the same thing about Casey Anthony and Monica Lewinsky. I did not, however question weather Anthony Weiner would have a normal dating life once his scandal publicity died down (assuming his wife left him, which I...

Is there a problem with a 30 year old man singing Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” while walking around a college campus? I don’t think so, but then again I do a lot of shit that others tend to think of as strange or creepy, especially when it comes to being a full-time student at 30.
It’s not that my younger schoolmates are not strange in their own ways, it’s just that...

Let's Go Crazy my Darling Nikki
“Purple Rain” is on and whenever it is on it is required viewing for me. While watching I looked at the Wikipedia page for both the album and the movie, because I like to Wiki everything that comes my way. It says that Prince originally wrote a “darker and more coherent script.” Okay, then why don’t we have that version? I find the current version pretty coherent, but...

I'm a fan of like
I was thinking about how the “become a fan” feature has quietly disappeared from facebook. While I don’t get too wrapped up in that stuff, I kind of “like” this one. Mostly because it’s more accurate. I like John Mayer, but I’m not a fan of John Mayer. Because, as you may or may not know, a fan is short for fanatic. While I enjoy a good dose of Continuum...
Sunday evening I went to the CVS to buy hair stuff and High Life. Yes I drink High Life. I genuinely like the taste and especially the price. I don’t like it in a hipster way like this PBR craze that seems to be sweeping the nation. Anyway, the thing that struck me as odd was the combination of hair stuff and beer. I asked the young lady at the counter if she ever laughed at us, the...

Today I needed to use the computer at school since the good folks at Time-Warner decided to fuck up my internet service for the day. When I get to the one computer lab at school the students are lined up like cattle to crowd into the little room with about 15 computers. These are not just any computers though, these are new towers with the classy old white tube Dell monitors. I decided that I...

Today is cold and cloudy. I that that shit. I wonder if I have that seasonal mood somethingorother disorder. I was pissed off all winter. But, that could have been because it was really f’ing cold.
After many years of sitting in front of the bar I have just taken a job that puts me behind the bar. The fact that this guy hired me is shocking because I don’t know my booze. I have been a beer and wine drinker and that’s been pretty much it. I’ve never been a real booze hound so this should be interesting. I didn’t bullshit the man, I told him that I really don’t...
I took my little ones to the zoo today and we had a good time as always. They are both into the animals and know a lot about them so it’s fun to listen to them compare notes on what they know. The highlight was when my youngest had a very intelligent conversation with the zoo worker about the diet of the polar bear as she was feeding them (the bears, not my kids). I felt at that moment that...
Why is finding a stupid part time job to earn some extra cash while I’m in school so difficult? Seriously, I don’t remember my job search being this frustrating when I was looking for a big salary career!
The Stanley Cup →
The Pens won the Cup this year and that just blows me away still. Two teams from the Burgh won their respective championships in the same year. Kick Ass
Is there any doubt that the Stanley Cup is the coolest trophy in all of sports? The history and traditions are completely unique. I would also say the respect, but the above link shows that it’s a different kind of respect.
I...
Now what to do with our time? →
All the jobs I had when I was in the Marines already blocked those sites. We used to then go to proxy sites but we got caught doing that and they blocked those too. I know it’s common place to cruise the webs while at work, but there were some days that were so boring that I would read Wikipeda articles and check the sources to see how accurate it was.
Did you ever sit back and think about where you are now as opposed to where you thought you’d be? I honestly don’t remember what I said when I was asked, “Where do you see yourself in ten years?” However, I can definitely say for certain that I didn’t expect to be 28, a full time college student and looking for a part time job.
While I understand that I’m in...
