I took yesterday off from work as a little mental health day. It was more like a “Double Sunday” kinda thing. just wanted to laze about and not feel like I had to do anything. I still managed to get stuff done though.

staying up late

April 13, 2008 at 8:55 pm | blabbing.

I have been up late the past couple of days. Friday night I was up late because George Soros was on Charlie Rose. I’m not that big a fan of Charlie Rose anymore because I think he talks to much and doesn’t let people finish their sentences but I like to see George Soros. I… Read more »

Lots o Bees

Alanna and I went to a bee class yesterday. It was super hot out in the bee yard, but well worth it. Alanna got some amazing pics. You can’t really tell how many bees are flying around from the photos, so I took a small camera video to give you an idea. (Cool WP-FLV plugin… Read more »

Guitar Center is crappy

April 9, 2008 at 9:11 am | blabbing, music.

I thought I would write about the past couple of times that I have been to Guitar Center because I think it illustrates what a problem the company has with management and employees.

We watched George Stevens “Giant” last night. Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean. I hadn’t seen it in so long that what I remembered seems like such a small part of the whole story.

Danger Danger Danger

Clothes and especially wedding clothes are probable one of the biggest rackets. I think the whole wedding event thing is kind of a racket. Maybe there is some secret society kinda like the wedding mafia that controls these things. I think the toughest is going to be the wedding dress. I will get married in… Read more »
