what do you think of 5 questions

Post for Sunday April 27 2008

before having to work this sunday

So I find that I have been working most the weekend.  Not like othe members of my team but still working.  I got to the office early today and thought I would venture down to Starbucks for a few min.  I could have written this much easier at my desk but I felt like being social or something like that.  I have discovered there is no free internet down this way.  I was considering getting a hot spot account but that seems like a lot.  It’s not like activating the sprint card which is 75 bucks a month with a two year contract.  I started reading about a few of them and I got more confused between the AT&T and te T-mobile one.  So realizing I would only be here another 30 or 40 minutes it all seemed a bit pointless. 

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.).
