The coming of an age

On my way home from Borders tonight I saw a couple out walking their dog. There wasn't anything really sepecial about them, Late 30's, moderate dress. The thing I did notice that as they were walking, they were both on their cell phones. Is it possiable that in this disconnected, disengaged, disingenuous age we are living in, that they were talking to each other on their cell phones. That, the only way they can communicate with other human beings is through a phone stuck to your head, while you're doing three other tasks. It truly is a wonderful time we live in.

This sucks

Let me tell you where I would rather be right now:


Right Now for Tallahassee, FL (32303)
Partly Cloudy
96°F Feels Like 101°F


Right Now for San Francisco, CA
Cloudy
60°F Feels Like 60°F

Saturday

It's time again. Saturday night we're having a party at Jay and Amanda's. You're all invitied. In fact, Amanda said if you don't come, she's going to hunt you down, tie you to a tree, beat you with a thorny stick, rub a salt lick all over your body and then call you names to make you feel bad. Ok, I'm paraphrasing a little-a lot, but she almost said things like that, yeah.

Anyway, make it if you can. I think we set the time at anytime after 7ish. Just because we made it later last time and that didn't work out.

We'll have some beer and liquor, but if you want anything special, be a good idea to bring it. But, just to sweeten the pot, we got this.
Yeah, that's right. How can you resist now?

So, quit being old and come out.

One programming note, the Richard gets drunk and tries to get in to Joy’s pants show has been cancelled. Refunds are available at Point of Purchase.

Milk was a bad choice

I saw a story on some news program today about the extreme heat they're experiencing out west. Seems since they're not used to it being 99 degrees, it's catching them off guard. They had a gentleman from the Salt Lake City dept of health. He said they're having a lot of heat realted illness reported and it's due to people staying out in the heat too long. You think? You sure it's not that extra layer of clothing there chief?

So I got that going for me

I had to go to the bank this morning for work. When I was going in to the building an older gentleman was coming in also so I waited, longer than I needed to, and held the door open for him. He was a Priest, so by going out of my way to be courteous to him, I know I made Jesus smile.

What did you do today, to make Jesus smile?

Update

Just to cover you all with the big update you've all been waiting on:

It's not going to happen. She was supposed to be on the road yesterday (Saturday), but I got a text message from her this morning (Sunday) that she wasn't coming. Didn't say why and quite frankly it doesn't matter. What does matter is that I waited all day yesterday and slept for shit through the night waiting and not knowing where exactly she was and all I got was a text message. That's a level of disrespect that I can't let slide. So, offically, it's over. I have put up with more than I should have, more than she would have, and I'm done.

I'm ok. I did have a quick range of emotions, sadness, confusion, anger, but mostly, relief. I'm quite upset, but to have a resolution, one way or the other, is just a huge weight lifted. Now it's time to move forward.

Just Sad

This is why Atlanta fans suck:















14 straight division titles, 5 NL pennants and a World Series title. You have one bad season because everybody got old and/or hurt and you show up with bags on your heads? What a bunch of dicks.
