Hurray! I got an email from Goodwill today saying that they found my flash drive. Apparently it fell out of my pocket when I either got picked up or dropped off by Ericka in our bizarre relay-like journey to get to Dan's party. So they dried it out, and found my resume and emailed it to me.

The data is back home, all's right with the world.

Grrrr... I lost my flash drive between Friday and Sunday. Somehow it broke off of my keyring and is out in the world. I am not happy at all. I didn't have anything embarrassing or anything on the drive, but I had my journal and a lot of my writing as well as stuff for school and work on it. So having that data out there does no real damage (to ( Read more... )

Wanda Sykes is awesome:
"Mr. President, remember 'Yes we can?' Well, I wish you would."

I'll have a more substantial update later, but this healthcare thing is making me explode.

So I've been so busy at work and school lately. As some of you know I wrote 2 books while in Japan and have completed a few short stories. I've been too busy to clean them up for publication, but I really really need to. Now that I have some free time because my 20 and 10 page papers are turned in, I hope to get some me writing done ( Read more... )

As I was driving to school today I was turning onto 77 when suddenly the back end of my truck went swinging widly around. I ended up doing about a 280 degree spin and facing down the on ramp. Now there are certain times that I entertain the idea that I am "a bit of a badass", but then things like this happen. As I was spinning around thinking ( Read more... )

A frequent attack employed against both Candidate and President Obama is one of questioning his existence. By this I mean there is a concerted effort to undermine belief in his true/real nature. We have seen several fronts in this ongoing offensive such as, “is he a secret socialist/communist?” devolving into “is he a secret terrorist (or person ( Read more... )

I love Stephan Fry and the always fantastic Hugh Laurie. I'm currently going through their BBC series "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" and this has to be one of my favorite sketches. It really captures a bit of the American mindset. The line that really sticks out to me is, "We don't care who's ass we kick; if we're ever all alone, we just stand in front ( Read more... )

Dear Jupiter,

I saw you got hit by a big chunk of space something or other in July. Bummer man. It never is nice to get hit, particularly when it leaves a big black mark about the diameter of Earth. You do have planet insurance, right? Well, anyway, I guess the whole getting hit by a comet is why I'm writing. I just wanted to say thanks ( Read more... )

A fantastic open letter to President Obama from (of all people) Larry Flint. The language is a bit course, but these are course times requiring lines in the sand.

( Why stand up when we can just compromise harder? )

Ohhhh hell yeah! On August 20th a live Rifftrax event is taking place and being beamed to theaters to watch live riffing from the makers of MST3K. AND (unlike when the MST3K movie came out) theaters very close to me are participating. Which means I will be laughing myself horse on August 20th. I am happier than Happy McHappyton the five time ( Read more... )
