I WATCH WAY TOO MUCH TV

Wife Swap? American Idol? The Bachlorette? The Apprentice? Anna Nicole Smith? Big Brother? Survivor? Elimidate? Super Nanny? Simple Life? Surreal Life? Temptation Island? The Biggest Loser? Extreme Makeover?

What is this world coming to?

Chowder!

YES, I'M WORKING ON SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT

I have a long list of shit I should be doing (at work). It all demands undivided attention and brainpower that is definitely unique to the group I work with, here at Morrow Graphics. But you know, screw it. I’m going to add to my blog. So, here is today’s installment of “Yeah, OK”:

It amazes me that most of the people that I deal with on a daily basis, outside of the ones I work near, can’t decide which color white shirt to wear on a given day. I mean, come on people! WHAT DO YOU WANT? Tell me, please. I would be delighted if you would just tell me what you would like me to do for you! I don’t need the history of this project you are hiring me to do for you. I don’t need to hear about how phase 2 was planned from the start three years ago. You mean to tell me that you have been working on this for three years and this is all you got done? IDIOT! So much time is wasted going over useless details. I was told once that life is short. It is way too short for me to agonize over details that are irrelevant! Get on with it!

I AM GETTING MARRIED

Yep! That’s right! You heard it. I am tying the knot this spring and, believe it or not, I can’t wait. Don’t get me wrong here, gentlemen. I mean listen, I am still a red-blooded, all-American kind of guy with the same testosterone pumping through my system that you have, albeit, perhaps, in only similar doses. Let’s face it (you too, girls); being single is way cool, to a point. How many unhappy single people do know? Not many, is my guess. Sure, there are some sad old maids out there, but statistically, happiness and being single are usually a good combination. Unfortunately, being happy is only a fraction of what life is all about and until you find someone that makes you smile on the inside, do you truly have a life worth living. Believe me. I know this first hand.

I am fast approaching forty! HOLY SHIT. Hold on. Is that right? Yep. DAMN! I’ll be forty in 2007. That’s in like two years. Anyway, people of my age that I have encountered are well into a marriage and have kids and stuff. Since I was 18, the thought of getting married always seemed like something that would definitely happen in my life and it would probably be… Well, I knew it would definitely happen. I have listened to my parents all of my life make comments to the effect; “Wow, time flies.” Or; “Seems like only yesterday.” I now know what they meant. Time does fly and it actually accelerates, as you get older. It seems like the last five years have just evaporated and I didn’t even get a chance to take pictures. Millisa and I have been together for that time and it has just flown! I asked her to marry me on Christmas Eve, 2003 and we set a date for May 2005 thinking seventeen months was plenty of time to plan a wedding and ultimately get married. Whoa, are we surprised. Here it is, January 2005 and the wedding is four blink-of-the-eye months away. Don’t worry, sports fans, the plans are well underway and we promise to give you one hell of a party in May!

I am absolutely the happiest I have ever been.

Chowder!

#$%&* Re-dux

Well, I just realized that the post that I thought I lost actually did publish. I am not, however, retracting my previous post that eludes to my displeasure of losing a post. Because I actually felt the frustration of losing the post, I believe I retain the prerogative to let the spew remain. On the same note, I am relieved that I did not re-key the post I thought I lost only to have it appear on the home page, as it did when I viewed the actual blog page. Anyway, chowder!

#$%&*

This blogging shit is supposed to be a portal for putting down random, useless crap in a relatively unique manner. Well, I just spent ten minutes on a couple of paragraphs and the goddamn blog server applet crashed during the publish command and I lost it. BASTARDS!

It's stupid cold. It's not 30 or 20. It's freakin' -10 outside. Why is it necessary to be that cold. I watched a CNN interview of a couple of idiots from Minnesota, where it was -54, and they didn't even have hats on. Idiots! My truck moans when I start it in the morning. The cats walk out and right back in the front door when they scream to go out. It was 65 three or four days ago. Our furnace is real tired of running and has a real appetite for fuel oil, at $1.89 a gallon. Ron Bush Oil, Inc. holds the third mortgage on our house. Bastards! One of the members of my trombone quartet left for Hawaii on Sunday. Bastard! I hope his pipes freeze while he's on the beach.
