I will repeat this mantra:

I am the bigger person and do not need to have the last word.
I am the bigger person and do not need to have the last word.
I am the bigger person and do not need to have the last word.
I am the bigger person and do not need to have the last word.
I am the bigger person and do not need to have the last word.

Yet again, my laptop has a virus.  This is the third time in about 18 months.  I always use antivirus software, firewalls, etc., and try not to visit shady websites or open weird attachments.  Yet somehow I ALWAYS get these damn things!  WTF!

Why do stupid a-holes feel the need to create these things?

This means that I probably have to call my ex- ( Read more... )

Does anyone have any suggestions for books I could get on tape to blunt the complete boredom of my commute?  The morning is ok because I listen to Preston & Steve (not really a morning show person but they are hilarious and usually keep my attention).  It's the afternoon/evening drive back that bores me to tears.  There is never anything good on ( Read more... )

Do people make resolutions anymore or has the practice become so futile that no one bothers?  I was never big on them because a simple change of number on the calendar really isn't enough to spur me to do something I don't want to do, hehe.  Just for shits and giggles I suppose I will do a few.

1. Lose 20 lbs.  This is a conservative number since I  ( Read more... )

One of my instructors has (for the second time) not gotten grades in on time. So there's a big fat MG (Missing Grade) on my transcript. Again ( Read more... )

For those who may be curious and want to see what I look like beyond a poor-quality, distant image shot in horrible lighting...

Sometimes, when the stars align properly, a good picture of me is produced:

So, how exactly can a person be allergic to SYNTHETIC latex and not real latex?  Because I've just discovered, via a pair of evil nitrile gloves, that this is possible.

I guess it's all that fake shit and chemicals they use when they make a synthetic version of a naturally-occurring rubber.  I'll just be over here soaking my hands in
