Am I the only one who makes an audible noise when I remember or think about some of the things I did in my youth that were really embarrassing or just plain dishonorable? Do we really think that some random noise will drown out the voices in our head? And the offending thought just keeps coming back like an infected wound you can’t resist picking at… Learn from your past sure, but why does some of the past continue to haunt?
So a giraffe walks into a bar and says, “The highballs are on me!”
When did my voice change? I used to do fairly decent impersonations of a few famous voices, now I can’t even come close. I’m not a singer but by singing along with the music I guess I’ve conditioned my voice for lower registers over the years. Now I can growl along with the music but hitting any of the old higher notes is out of reach. Didn’t see that coming.
Fuck Frodo, Sam is the real hero in the Lord of the Rings stories…
Does anyone still work from 9-5? Is the song rendered obsolete by the fact that most people are working nine/ten hour days now? Oh sure, we’re only getting paid for the eight hours but all those extra unpaid hours you spend here and there working to beat deadlines and impress the middle manager hoping to be noticed and get a raise or maybe even a promotion. Eight-hour workers are going nowhere…
How wrong is it that my iPod just went from Taj Mahal to Nick Cave and I barely even noticed?
Is it possible to deny your programming? Okay, wait, rephrasing… How long does it take to change your programming? I have tried, real hard, to stop being so damn cynical. I want to change my default from cynic to skeptic and I have made a very serious attempt at doing so but it’s soooooo hard! And of course this would be easier if I were trying to change something else but being the nature of cynics, it’s too easy to just say it can’t be done and walk away. I’m tired of hating everything by default and learning to like it later. I’d like to be a little more open…

My coworker is out of the office today, there are three phones as well as my two cell phones on my desk. They rarely ring, everything is done through e-mail which can be accessed from a remote location (like, home). How long before someone figures out that half the time I do nothing but man empty phones waiting to solve the occasional critical disaster?
At what point does grey become silver and silver become grey? Is glossy grey sufficiently silver? Is dull silver just another grade of grey?
I have a couple of hairs that have fallen from my beard on my desk. They each have multiple split ends. It would be SO cool if I could move the split ends like a multi-headed snake or a living flail or something…
