So, I'm at exactly one month since my last cigarette. I was going to do some updates as I went through the quitting process, but I didn't want to have to go back and delete them when/if I failed. Historically I have had a lot of trouble quitting. I honestly feel like I've got it down this time. It's been a long learning process. At this point I've ( Read more... )

I know that it's a modern world and that chivalry is dead, but I've noticed an interesting trend. When a woman holds a door for a man, she goes first. She opens the door, steps through, but holds the door open behind her so that the man can get in without having to re-open the door. Yet, when a man holds a door for a woman, she goes first. The man ( Read more... )

I've been trying really hard lately to change my job. I'm not looking outside my current company, but I have been pursuing other interests from within. I know I posted a while back that I had applied for something, but for a multitude of reasons (none of which had anything to do with me as a candidate (or so I've been reassured)) that fell through ( Read more... )

So, my son has been watching Jetsons: The Movie. Yes, the Jetsons. It's a little old, dated and poorly animated, but it's what he wanted to watch. There is something that confuses me though. Where do they live? Is that Earth? (FYI: in the film, it is revealed to be Earth for sure. Never mind this question.) I mean, they live up in the clouds. ( Read more... )

I wanted to share this blurb I read. Now, it was in an email from AllClear ID. It's a fraud protection group and I wanted to give them full credit and simply link to the article. I could not, for the life of me, find a URL that went to the blurb below. I didn't try all that hard, but I really couldn't find it in about 5 minutes of poking around. So ( Read more... )

I am looking forward to the day my son is old enough to have chores. It can be really hard to find the time and the energy to clean the house with an almost three year old running around. Even if we could just assign one task it would help. I mean, currently, he will do the vacuuming for us. Trouble is that he vacuums chaotically. Given the task ( Read more... )

I was watching WALL-E with the boy before bedtime just a little while ago and something struck me as odd; so, there is a little cleaning bot named Mo. He's cute and fun and all that jazz. What's weird is that when he talks he has a small little voice with which he just says, "Mo." But, when we see things from his point of view there is point at ( Read more... )

I've been watching a lot movies with my kid lately. Well, I've been watching the same two movies over and over and over again, and those movies are kind of freaking me out a bit. We've been watching Cars and Robots. Despite being 5 or 6 years old, they're both still really fun movies. I really do like both of them. However, they both really bother ( Read more... )

Okay, I've been a bad boy, it's been forever. I just haven't gotten to posting. Oops ( Read more... )

My wife had her 30th birthday (and corresponding party) on Friday. There was a pretty awesome turnout, too. It was around (and maybe more than) 20 people. We had it at a restaurant nearby called "Ripe." It was a pretty good time. We were there just chatting and eating from 7:00 to about 11:00 ( Read more... )
