Perhaps....

Maybe, just maybe... when I open my eyes Samuel Alito will not be a newly appointed Supreme Court Justice....

DAMN IT!!!!

Cut Away...

I want to share my condolences with the ladies of the world who can no longer count on my friend being their “Baby Daddy”. Satisfied with the spawning of two great lil men, today he cuts the ties to future fatherhood. GOD SPEED my friend.

Today, T and I rejoice the upcoming three day weekend. We are going to watch the movies finally delivered by the USPS. My reviews will follow.

Sunday, we’ll celebrate the first birthday of the G-G twins. It amazes me how much these kids have grown, and how quickly they took to running, playing, and smacking their pandering uncle.

Work remains work, and my upcoming Silver Springs trip dances on the horizon. Next Wednesday, I fly into the greater DC area for three days of phone/email transition meetings. Thrills and expletives! Hopefully, I make some time to visit the National Museum of the American Indian, and the United States Holocaust Museum.

Have I mentioned how disappointed the James Frey revelations made me? I sped through this book in a couple days, and the tales of “true-life” horror electrified me. To learn of the liberties of exaggeration taken by the author leaves me feeling angry. I doubt you will find me buying “My Friend Leonard” anytime soon.

Have a great weekend, and let me hear you ROCK!

No New Gig 4 Me

After waiting (and perhaps lamenting) through the holidays, my employer offered the Web Master position to an external candidate with more years of position experience. What can I do? If I continue to work hard, increase my visibility, and maintain a positive outlook something good will happen.

Classes started last night! Upon review of the syllabi, two of the three classes require group projects. I cannot stand group projects. Group members either do no work or the work they provide sucks. The same can often be said for business, but at least you are paid to put up with the misgivings of others. The International Business project involves the creation of a country profile on India. I can't say I'm thrilled....

• The season premier of THE SHIELD airs tonight on FX.
• The postman probably dropped the Constant Gardner and the Wedding Crashers on my doorstep.
• Idiot inaccurately defines Marcus Vick. Maybe THUG works better.

Mo Betta Wednesday!

New Year... #1 Post

We are into the second full week of the new year, and I am getting to my first post.

School is set to begin tonight! I am looking forward to once again surrendering a couple of my weeknights to learn more about the global economy and how to communicate properly.

This semester I am taking 2 full courses, and one mini-mester course. My load should be considerably lighter after I finish the 7-week course. No Finance this time around, so I may (hopefully) have an easier time than last semester.

Yesterday, I went to check out the carnival that is the “JC music dungeon”. Never in my life have I seen so many records, cds, tapes and 8-tracks in one person's home. It seemed that around every corner, another stash was revealed. We listened to his Magnaplaner speakers, which alone required special attention. He also gave me rummage privileges to his plethora of bootlegs. In an attempt to help him free up some space, I walked away with tons of Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, and Morphine.

The rest of the weekend involved the Piedmont Dog Park, NFL Playoffs, Terrapin Cream Ale, Sleep and Athens Pizza.

We also have houseguests this week. Miss Madame Fannie and the King Elvis Ellerman are staying with us while their parents are woot wooting it in Arizona.
