Music meme

Saw this on Jason's blog, and couldn't resist duoing a music meme. 1.What are you listening to right now? For the last couple of years I find music distracting while at work. I don't know why. 2.What song(s) make(s) you sad? I don't listen music to feel sad, or listen to music that would make me sad. Maybe it's sad by itself. 3.What is the most annoying song in the world? "Beautiful" by James Blunt. Guhd what an annoying song. 4.Your all-time favorite band? AC/DC. Very simple, does not matter lead by Bon Scott or Brian Johnson. Their style of rock appeals to me. 5.Your newly discovered band is? I don't have one. I rarely listen to anything new. Can't find what appeals to me. Axis of Awesome is interesting. 6.Best female voice? Tarja Turunen of late Nightwish. That girl has a set of lungs on her. 7.Best male voice? Tough to say. Ronnie James Dio, Freddy Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Kipelov (from a Russian metal band I like), Bill Medle...

Ten is a relative number

This Saturday me and The Awesome Wife has celebrated our tenth anniversary. For some people 10 is a big number, for some a small number. For yours truly it may be just a number. Some sentimental fools will spout that their love grows over the years more and more, and the years helped them realize how lucky they are, and how they become appreciative of one another, and all of that in the same avenue. No, not me. I don't measure the love I have in years. I am a different kind of fool or ijiot (honey you'll understand and we'll see at home). I love my wife! I really do, I love her the same way I loved her when we've first met. This kind of feeling can't grow, it's just there, pure and simple. I really do appreciate my wife tremendously and I know how lucky I am to have met The Woman who loves me and accepts me regardless of my quirks and shenanigans (I love this word and was looking for a Long time to use it). Our friendship has never really blossomed, it was right...

Are aesthetics that important?

First off, i stole this from Vince as it is perfectly represents my attitude towards iPad. Printing from iPad. Anyways. I have decided that I need a portable computer. I have my desktop, which I use for heavy-duty stuff like gaming or video making, but it sits in the office and I don't like to spend much time there. I watch TV in the evenings, and I would like to have something sitting on my lap (BE QUIET!) that I can casually look at, or read emails, or some such. Problem is, I would like the laptop/netbook to look and feel good. I don't want heavy15 inches and I don't want to squint and jam my fingers at a tiny keyboard. I don't care about things like that with my desktop. I've build them year-in and year out, and usually end up with a black box crammed full of computer goodness. Why is it that important that my portable computing device looks good?

An explanation of sorts

I think I have a need to explain myself. Not sure where it will lead to, but organizing my jumbled feelings into something resembling a cohesive thought may actually help me understand myself. (After writing this sentence I understand why I will never become a writer, no patience for word organization) Trying to pressure me into something with preaching is possibly the worst way to get me to do anything. Let me give you an example. A teacher at our 5 Year Old's Russian school has asked me recently why I didn't enroll said child into her Jewish History class. The teacher also has her for a Russian speaking class, which the kid enjoys, and they have a good relationship. I guess the reason for the question was when asked last week about the Holiday last week (Passover) The 5 Year Old happily said that it was Easter. This answer truly shocked the teacher. Since then (or maybe even before that), said teacher has been pestering me to no end (last Sunday I was at a loss for words and ...

Scrambled thoughts.

I must be getting old. Yesterday evening after the final Marketing presentation we went to a pub and I had a single pint of Kilkenny (awesome ale from the Guiness people). Overslept today, after a single pint. Sad. As I watched an episode of Chuck online the final shot was that of Eiffel Tower in the window, showing that the characters must be in Paris. Here's my beef with it(why do I have beef with it?). The shot was shown as if the floor the heroes were on is above Eiffel Tower. The shot contained New Paris in the background of the tower. There is nothing on the other other side Elysian Fields avenue that is that tall. Anyways if I am wrong let me know. We have two books for the next class: Jim Collin's From Good To great, which is supposed to a staple for businesses, like Jack Welch's book, and a book called Survival Guide in Corporate Culture. We'll see.

April fools day

Forgive the spaces but The Baby decided to join in on the creative wr iting process. This is unedited :) Spacebar is a BIG BUTTON! One of the offices at work was filled with shredded paper, lots of it. It took them 8 big bags to clear out that stuff. I had no idea we were shredding so much. This is a company that is supposed to bring paperless healthcare to the patients. My phone was smeared with some hand lotion. I discovered that about 11 o'clock when deciding to pick up my phone for the first time during the day. All I can say now is that I don't have dry skin on my left earlobe.
