The frogs are doing well I got them some different food and a snail to keep the tank clean. I still think I need to put them on my desk at work.
Rudy is not been a big fan of the heat the past couple days but I do think he has enjoyed Shelton being home 3 days in a row.
That’s about it.
]]>The lesbians are forming a large group next to me. They are cool. I know I’m going to smell like smoke when I get out of here. I am tempted to work from home tomorrow, I feel like I get so much more done when I work from home. It’s also cool just to leave the door open let Rudy wonder in and out. I get so much done, and I totally feel relaxed. It’s odd, I don’t think I would like to work from home all the time but once or twice a week would be really cool. Especially during the spring.
I so don’t have anything real to write about. The frogs are still alive although Rupert was picking on Fuck-head last night. They are fun to watch.
]]>Liberal bloggers are expressing outrage over Barack Obama’s appearance this weekend on Fox News, accusing the Democratic presidential front-runner of kowtowing to the network’s conservative viewers, and throwing his online supporters to the wolves.
“This will likely further dismay liberal bloggers who had worked very hard to get Dems to boycott Fox as a way of delegitimizing the network and who already criticized Obama for agreeing to appear in the first place,” Sargent continued.

]]>Yes I do have a pair of African dwarf frogs. They are pretty cool and don’t require much attention. However I didn’t get my snail when I purchased them and somehow since their last feeding I have lost their food. So I need frog food and snail to help balance the eco system. I do get a kick out of them I named them Rupert and Fuck-head.
This is the first time I have really used the new Micro Soft Word, normally I use google documents and or expression engine to write all my post. The things one will do when no internet id available. The episode of South Park about how everyone freaked the fuck out when the internet suddenly went dead was funny and hit home on a couple of the points.
I like my Twitter account a lot. I like Facebook a lot as well but I do get a little pee shy when everyone from old X’s to workmate get alerted every time I do anything. I guess that’s the appeal. I may just be showing my age. I feel guilty some times for not having a more historic facebook page. Consider that most of the kids graduating college this year have had Facebook from day one of Freshmen year to graduation. They have a historic living history of every friend, club, hook -up, trip and event. That would be a fantastic treasure. I have a box of old faded photos of people I can hardly remember names.
I think that also explains why so many old guys like me find it attractive. We can in part go back attempt to contact and rebuild the history we lost. The bad part is we are old, fatter, and know more discerning about what we post. We have jobs and employers and snoopy co workers who like to gossip. We have professional reputations to keep up.
I have often thought about writing a new blog somewhere under a different name so I could really express some of the things I hold back. But a fake person writing about real things, hidden from the people who would best understand seem wrong.
Oh well. I don’t even have time to do this one up right so the idea of two is just crazy.
Thanks Big E for finding me that Young Avengers #1 you rock. I got to work today so I won’t be in. I did come and see your boss Friday night – not two bad. Shelton picked up a new Transformer, the Optimus Primal.
Well I should walk back across the street to work and try and figure how the hell to get this on my site. PS there are not really any attractive people in this Star Bucks, no fun. And I like the new brown cups . (and I just talked to a cute little dancer on the way out. The day may have been saved.).
]]>Every year, more and more students participate in the Day of Silence, which began 12 years ago when University of Virginia students wanted to find a way to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment on campus.
As the day’s popularity and exposure have increased, many misperceptions have spread about what the Day of Silence is, why the day exists and what participating in it means. Here are 4 truths that address common misinformation about the Day of Silence.
http://www.dayofsilence.org/content/truth.html
in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing
attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which
is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. This
year’s DOS is held in memory of Lawrence King, a 15 year-old student
who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender
expression. I believe that ending the silence is the fi rst step toward
building awareness and making a commitment to address these
injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.
Well that’s about it

anyone ?
Something else that struck my was a story on NPR this morning about how people who were shown the Apple logo where more creative than those who where exposed to the IBM logo. So half testing that theory (or at very least my interpretation of it) I’m sitting here with my sexy Sony laptop. Just looking around it kicks the shit out of any of the other laptops set up around this place. The couple at the big table with there matching bright silver HP or Dells have split. The chick sitting across the way from me just got a telephone call here. Not on her cell phone, but someone called her on the store phone and they walked it out to her. That just struck me as a little odd. Before I get totally off on a tangent she has not even taken here laptop out of the case. She has it half in and half out, like the laptop equivalence of taking a piss at a urinal just unzipped. (not sure that analogy works for anyone other than me). My laptop no ultra mobile personal computer runs rings around her HP.
An older couple came in and sat next to me. They are discussing the logistics of some type of walk or porch construction. It’s no like I really want to sit here and ease drop on their conversation I just can’t help it. Enter another couple-- what is it the early bird special at the coffee shop.
I came to this place over the bigger more well know shops because I felt sure I could get free internet and I could find a table with a plug. I did get both of those things. However no one has looked my direction or said a word. It’s quiet and smells sweet just is blahh.
The chick with the HP just snagged a juice out of the cooler. I wonder if she is going to pay for it. This is not the type of place where people shoplift. The older couple after debating on who’s watch had the correct time have decided to take off. She drapes on a green jacket. He rather than taking the easy path around squeezes between me and the table behind me and me. Either way he brushes by and bumps into me. Four people in the whole place and he can’t get by without pressing up against me. I wonder if he knew I was sitting here writing about them.
Oh well who knows who cares.
Quick updated—Just got a comment from Babs on an earlier post. I love that. You the best !
