On Being a Linchpin

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 22:02:00 +0000

The highest level of management I’ve reached in my career is Operations Manager. It was a tough job, but I was successful. I was good at it. And it was an eye-opening experience for me. When I started, I had nothing to go on but instinct, and as it turns out my instincts were good. [...]

The War on Winter Solstice

Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:59:37 +0000

So, the wife and I went to find our Winter Solstice Tree this year. It was wonderful. We found the perfect tree, and being thankful to Saturn, I was able to cut it down with little difficulty. It was a wonderful experience. Until I went to pay the good owner of the Winter Solstice Tree Farm (which he [...]

How Weight Watchers Changed My Life

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 02:56:17 +0000

So fellas, what was your first impression of the title? Did you call me derogatory names? Did you laugh? Why is Bryan talking about meetings of overweight women in spandex and over-sized shirts? If that’s what you think Weight Watchers is, you should listen up, because when a man of my level of skepticism shows [...]

Stuff I Don’t Believe In

Fri, 15 Oct 2010 03:10:51 +0000

The title says it all. I left out the obvious shit, like Leprauchans, Unicorns, and Santa Claus: Any God or Gods, personal or Biblical, or any Religion. . . . (therefore I also don’t believe in) Intercessory Prayer. Life After Death. That Human Beings have a “Soul”. Religious Interpretations or Predictions of an Apocalypse (I [...]

Driving Tutelage

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:00:49 +0000

Driving on a busy road, these are some things I’ve learned. I do not suffer from road rage, rarely wish anyone dead, or make my issues anyone else’s on the road. I also do not think I am invincible and think my driving skills can get me out of any mess. I thought that way [...]

Grow up you alcoholic whore.

F is for “Effort”

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:52:02 +0000

Apparently there are some New England Schools publishing something the media has dubbed the “Effort Roll”. It’s a list of students who did not make the Honor Roll, but get a pat on the back anyway. Now, I consider myself a relatively progressive individual, but I believe wholeheartedly and unequivocally that reason and common sense [...]

NERD ALERT: The “Cloud Computing” Phenomenon

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:29:17 +0000

This one goes out to all my geek peeps. Word to your mutha. For about a year now,  I have been hearing/reading the phrase “Cloud Computing” shoved down my throat flashed unashamedly from top vendors everywhere: Microsoft, Novell, VMWare (particularly VMWare) and Cisco. As a matter of fact, it’s hailed as nothing less than revolutionary, [...]

Lists and Rodeos

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:38:24 +0000

I have crossed something off my list, a list I didn’t realize I had.  This List has no name. Some have a Bucket List; that list, either written or in mind, that contains the things that one wants to accomplish before they leave this mortal coil… or kick the bucket as they say.  A few [...]

A Long Overdue Rant on Facebook

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:31:34 +0000

Part 1 – In the Beginning. So I’ve been on the juggernaut that is Facebook for just over a year now. And it has further solidified my belief that there really is no hope for the human race. When I first started Facebook, I thought it was a place to wax philosophical, or get at [...]
