279 Days Until Winter!

The days are quickly counting down! The excitement building!

Soon it will be that wonderful time of year again when the cold winds are howling and the glorious snow is flying!

And I, for one…Can. Not. Wait!

Truly I can appreciate the mild temps and sunshine of spring, the nice part of not having to wear a jacket, and not needing to allow time for snow shoveling… BUT I still prefer the cold windswept nights and days of Winter.

It’s such a short season and seems to be shorter all the time. Read more »

Geek RockStar’s Do Exist!!

These guys truly help to make Tech Cool! Have been a fan for years. Even got to meet Leo Leporte years ago! Revision3, Kevin Rose, and Alex Albrecht continue to do great things with a great circle of friends and supporting people who are too numerous to mention here!

Tattoo’s And Food…

The only things that sound good to me at this point are the ones that are horrible for me.

I find myself craving KFC, Pizza Hutt, and chinese food. And nothing else.

And even these cravings are considerably mild. I just don’t have any interest or desire for food. I’m sitting here hungry as can be, and there is absolutely nothing I want.

And I gained again this week – almost fully reversing the nearly 10lbs I had lost. Read more »

Expressing The Questions Of Expression…

How do you discuss your blog, your online world, and your goals in real life without sounding self important?

It’s something I wrestle with anytime the subject comes up. I want to express that it’s a place for me to talk, learn, grow, and review what is going on in my life. But that I also want it public, not because I think I’m so interesting or so wonderful, but that with the openness comes a freedom – a releasing of the emotions and baggage involved.

That putting it out in such a way helps to provide perspective and keeps me from being so “in my head”, because it forces me to think and view things from the external perspective, as in how will this look to others? Not that I censor or pander to what I think others will say about it, but as a sort of reality check. Read more »

Gone With The Wind…

Wow ! Just Wow!

Today has been one of those days where I am still tired from the day before, my patience are non-existent, and every annoying self important jerk in orbit seems to see fit to send a reminder of how important they think they are.

Last night when I got home I was so tired I couldn’t even bring myself to write even a mildly appropriate blog post. And I fear tonight will be more of the same. All I really want to do is just go straight to bed and let the howling wind once again serenade me off to peaceful slumber…

My irritation is showing through, no matter how much I try to expel it from my list of active processes running right now. Read more »

The Wind Stole My Thunder…

Wow what a long and tiring day. Thirteen and a half hours is a long shift on a good day. It becomes eternal when the world decides to blow up and everyone wants answers.

And then the time keeper steals an hour from me!

I would write so much more, and really want to, but I just don’t have it in me tonight. Gonna go eat, watch a bit of tv then off to sleep to the sounds of howling wind and rain.

Best sleep ever!

I hope that everyone is having a good and restive weekend. I can’t wait till my Friday on this Monday. I’m ready for another restful week… yawn!

OMG OMG Gonna Have A Geek-Gasm!

Wheeeee!! I can’t wait. I just love this series. The Books are fantastic, the story is endearing, fun, heart wrenching, exciting, and so much more.

I know it’s fun to judge and condem those who enjoy things that have been accepted by the main stream… but damn it I don’t care if it was the total outcast.. I just love this series. And that they are becoming movies makes me so much happier!!!

The first movie was rough.. the acting left a LOT to be desired, as well as the effects. The second was a vast improvement. I can’t wait to add it to my collection. The third is looking to be as good as or better than the 2nd. And I can’t wait till the complete the set!

This will most definitely be a midnight viewing purchase! Just can’t wait for June 30th!! Read more »

Owing A Debt Of Sand…

Sometimes we just have to sleep. Our bodies just demand it.

Today I pushed myself and stayed up about 6 hours past my regular bed time of 6am, finally giving up at noon.

In that time I picked up my warranty replacement phone at FEDEX, and loaded all of my information, programmed it, set up my software, and setup my preferred customized settings. It took about an hour and a half or a little less. I am getting fast at this lol. It will be even faster still when I move into my iPhone later this year.

I also managed to completely catch up on EVERYTHING in my DVR to the point of nothing, not even time waster shows, were left! I did a bit of reading which was nice. But I forgot to make two calls that I have been forgetting for nearly 3 weeks now! grumble.

And then off to sleep I went. Read more »

Dear LiLo…An Open Letter

Dear Lindsay,

I don’t normally care about any of the celebrity insanity that goes on out in the world. But you my dear, you have caught my attention.

I realize that you were on a great and fast track to fame there for a bit. Even had a good movie or two out. I particularly enjoyed Herbie!

But I fear someone has mislead you along the way. You seem to be suffering the delusion that the name Lindsay is uniquely yours and as identifiable as that of Oprah, Cher, Madonna, and Mohammed Ali? Surely Lindsay isn’t that commonly used as the afore mentioned names? Why I can’t pass a stroller without seeing a little Cher or Ali… Read more »
