I listen to a lot of music, and I’ve heard a lot of dumb lyrics. (I’m sure you’ve experienced this too…) Here’s a very abbreviated list of songs w/ dumb lyrics 1) “We Rock in Stilettos” -Unknown. It is repeated ad infinitum in a screaming / rap style. Terrible. 2) “Good is good and bad [...]

Thurday at 9:00am The Thanksgiving ads arrive (and I wake up). I immediately start learning of new things to buy. Of note, I see the the $3.99 movies at Circuit City and the 2 gb compact flash card at CompUSA. I think, “This could save me a bunch of money.” Thursday at 9:14am Complain about [...]

You know you’re destined to be a Middle Manager if you: 1) Believe that long meetings are the best way to communicate everything. 2) Believe that no meeting is complete without repeating the information three times. 3) Believe that being at work for 8 hours a day is more important than getting your work done. [...]

Five completey trivial things to be thankful for! 1) Seinfeld Is there any better comedy in the history of television? I think not. And with Seasons 5 and 6 now out, I can waste more hours watching it! 2) Wing Stop / Buffalo Wild Wings When you need to eat something entirely bad for you, [...]

Well, I’m back in Dallas (North Richland Hills) for Thanksgiving. Traffic today was less than fantastic…and as you all know, I despise traffic. Especially when traffic is made worse by stupid drivers. Other news: not much. Life is good, and I’m looking forward to taking a break from work for a few days. I also [...]

Has anyone seen the new Ford commercials–you know the one where Bill Ford, Jr. is trumpeting Ford’s storied history as an innovative company. Every time I see it, I laugh. 1) Ford was an innovative company. The Model T, the assembly line, Mustangs, Firebirds, and the venerable F150 pickup–all good products/concepts at one point or [...]

Hunger. It’s late and you feel like eating some ice cream. Except you don’t have any at your apartment. Leave. Hop on your bike and start riding to Walmart to pick up some Blue Bell. Mmmm. Homemade Vanilla and strawberries. Crash. The car that ran the red-light and broadsided you. And your bike. And now [...]

Last night was the Ben Folds concert. It was amazing. 2+ hours of incredible music. And watching him play the piano reminded me of a hummingbird flap it’s wings. You just have no idea how they move so quickly. Anyways–one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

I love fall. I love the crisp, clean, cool air. It satisfies your body as a quaff of water would when you’re parched. I love the trees. The colors. The leaves. I love to see them come alive from the gusts of wind…springing back and forth, waving their branches across the sky. I love the [...]

The Philadelphia Eagles traded short term “success” for long-term failure. They did this when they brought in Terrell Owens. Sure, people change; sure, people can turn their lives around and become a team player. But when he refused to go to Baltimore after he was traded, you had to see that something was awry. He [...]
