Katrina

Now I know everyone, at least I hope everyone thinks that the government really fucked up with the whole hurricane thing. I know I do. I'll keep this short and sweet. If you have not seen the Hurricane documentary that Spike Lee did for HBO, you need to get on your job and check it out. It is just wild how things went down and this is all shot from the point of view of the people that went through it. It should be on netflix. On a lighter note, check this out! See, I can make a statement and be entertaining. However, it disgusts me to my core that there was even an opportunity in the world, let alone the most powerful country in it, to have to go through that mess.

Are You Going to Macgyver It?

I work with a bunch of engineers and technicians see, and also, occasionally, I will have to do some field work on Navy ships. We are told by the man, to always have a flashlight on us in case the power goes out. Also, most of us have some sort of multi-tool in our possession just in case we need a tool of some sort. All of that makes sense to me.

What I can't figure out is the people who wake up in the morning, get dressed, and then strap their multi-tool/flashlight to their belt loop, knowing damned well they aren't going to be needing any tools in an office. I mean I just don't get it. Do you think that you just really need to be that prepared in your effing cubicle? Is someone going to approach you during the day, hand you a roll of duct tape and tell you that you have 10 minutes to construct something to do something and that you can only use what you have on your person at this time. Go!

Please people, for the sake of Jason Crisp, let it go!

Don't Make It Weird

I can't seem to figure out why people want to act all offended when you catch them on an exercise machine at the gym past the time they signed up for. That is, if they even signed up for it. Today I walked up to a dude who was over his time and I said, "Excuse me, I am signed up for this machine at 5." He gave me this odd look and said, "Can I have 2 more minutes?" I said yes, but I would have been the ass if I had said no. Then you make me feel uncomfortable because I want to say no, but you make it seem like I am the one doing something weird. This whole process pisses me off, because after my 3o minutes are up, that would make me 2 minutes into some other guys time and now I just have to make him feel weird. Ugghhh.

Monday Monday...

Here I am. How amazing. Today I think I will tackle two things. Why do old people wear so much polyester and what exactly makes the electric slide, so damned electric.

Ye Olde People
I have thought about this for a while. I see older people in polyester like it is going out of style. The thing that makes this so odd, is that it has gone out of style. So they can stop. Now, I know that when you get to a certain age, you really do begin to care less what others think of you. Look at me, I act like an ass everyday. Hate or love it, this is who I AM! I don't however, make a habit out of wearing crazy clothes (at least I don't think). I think perhaps, it is not even the fact that they are wearing this particular material so much as the colors of the clothes they are wearing. Tell me old man, just where exactly did you get a pair of mint green pants and a matching plaid blazer? Old woman, where by chance did you find a lavender pants suit with a brown puffy necked blouse and a giant bumblebee brooch? Well, I guess I have no theory on this one. Exciting none the less though.

Maximum Power
I think I have you covered on this one though. Now, for those of you that know me personally, I know a little bit about electricity. It's the truth. So, I can be the first, or one of them, to tell you that, in literal terms, the electric slide, is not electric. It is the most fun dance in the world. This has been proven by real scientists with MATH and THEORIES. Don't argue with me here. Now, here is the kicker. The reason it is called the electric slide is because it is contagious and people jump up to do it faster than real lightning would bounce from head to head in a pool fool of those crazy people that put aluminum foil on their heads during a lightning storm.

Worst Blogger EVER!!

Well, I needed a break. I couldn't think of anything to write? I forgot my password?

All of these are not true. The truth is, I got lazy, then I forgot about my blog and the 3, possibly 4 people that read it. Never again. I hope. I am back. For reals! I plan to try and blog at the very least, 3 times/week. Get ready to get tired of me!

Official update soon to follow this weekend. People get ready. Also, my digital camera is broken. However, I have a sweet $70 digital camcorder that works awesome during high light. Ehh, it cost 70 dollars, what do you expect. Perhaps you can expect some videos!

The long hiatus has left me with a few important things to tell you guys about. Possible topics for the weekend include:

1. Why old people wear so much polyester.
2. Why people at the gym in the evenings can't just go home and shower.
3. What makes the electric slide electric?
4. Why my taste in music is awesome. (check out Alice Smith, Citizen Cope, and the new Clipse cds.
