I got my college ring back this afternoon. I'm wearing it now as I write this. However, it just feels strange as I'm not used to it. In fact, I'm not used to wearing rings and any kind of jewelry other than my watch and the chain that's been on me since I was a kid. It's quite possible I would have gotten used to having a ring but that's not going to happen now. Right Dickhead Bob?
During senior, Bob would have a fellow Navy ROTC guy come to the house. Actually, this guy had two keys: one for the front door and Bob's room. When they were at the house, they'd stay in Bob's room with the door locked. The rest of the house would wonder what 's going on upstairs. We didn't think he was gay. Or was he?
Maybe it was I who asked/remarked to the housemates about his possibly conducting gay activities within and it got back to him. Bob and I weren't really friendly throughout the year after that. Dunno.
Like I wrote earlier, I hope something mechanical that he really loves/cherishes breaks. So long as no one is hurt. Perhaps the pocket-butt-rocket he got from his college ROTC love. Brokeback Submarine?
Ahahahahahahahaha........

Blast from the Past
After my dentist appointment today, I called my office to check messages and one was especially particular. A woman said that she had something that belonged to me. I called her back and discovered that she is now the former wife of a former housemate of mine from college. She told me that she had my COLLEGE RING. What the fuck?!?!!?!?
Partly shocked yet calmed by her gentleness, I listened to her tell me the story her ex-husband told her about my ring. Supposedly, I bet my ring during a card game and lost it to him. UTTER BULLSHIT! Broke as we were in college, we'd rather spend money on beer and cigarettes than play cards. Moreover, my mother had bought me the ring for graduation so I was not going to lose that.
After we spoke, the memories came back to me. I remember taking the ring off and putting on a bookshelf in my room. When I came back from class, it was missing and I was searching everywhere for it. In fact, I asked all my housemates if they might have seen it and they ALL said "No".
So...the fucker stole my ring and conjured up some bullshit story. While I'm not mad, I am a little pissed off. I don't wish him any harm but it would be nice if something awful happened to his most cherished piece of machine. Like a meteor destroying it. Not with him, his new wife nor anyone else in or near it. I don't want anyone hurt.
It's been 17 years since I last saw the ring.

Alan Shore
Is quite possibly one of the best characters ever created for television. Tonight, he argued against the death penalty for a convicted rapist who happens to be mentally retarded (IQ of 70 but never declared so). What a fucking speech he gave! Many many kudos to the speechwriters too!

daylight savings time on the train
As some folks know, the Transit Authority installed new trains for the N line about 5 months ago in its systematic upgrade. The new trains are well air-conditioned, run faster and smoother and provide a bevy of information for the casual idiot. This morning was interesting though.
As I waited at the 59th Street station, in comes one of these new trains. The first car's lights are out and brought back a fleeting memory of older trains with spotty lighting. But the second, third, fourth and fifth cars' lights were also out. The only light that was on was in the door conductor's booth.
The silver lining I found was that I could get a 15-minute nap instead of reading the paper as usual. The ride seemed a bit nouveau-tech as the LED displays of time, next station and other stations along the route seemed a bit futuristic with the occasional passing of tunnel lights to indicate that we were moving.
I'm sure the other commuters at the 36th Street station had similar thoughts that I did. However, before heading out, the lights came on.
So I chuckled, read my paper and, upon the sweet caffeine finally hitting my nervous system, I realized that these new trains were conserving power. How green!

Restructure
Following Labor Day weekend last year, I returned to work and saw that my computer was missing. The first thought was "they finally fired me". Alas, it wasn't true. They moved me upstairs to a corner office. A friend called me "Napoleon". Moreover, I found out that I had a new boss and that I lost have my portfolio and coverage.
Six months later to April Fool's Day, I get a call from the guy who hired me and he tells me that it's his last day (he got canned as I'm told). My boss got bumped up and I got my portfolio and coverage back. However, I'm not happy about it.
I think I was a happier and more motivated person prior this job. It's probably time to leave but the stinking economy is in the crapper. With a bunch of available talent in the pool, it's unlikely that I'll score something fabulous. Perhaps, I should get a second job (a thought that comes up every so often) to diversify from being a DVR-addict.
By the way, the hottest woman on Beauty and the Geek this season, Jillian, was so booted when she volunteered to be on the Geek flag football team, which lost to a bunch of girls. The biggest cock is Cowboy Joe because he's (i) unkempt/smelly (according to his teammate Tara), (ii) generally obnoxious with his long-winded speeches and (iii) unable to open up to new ideas and progress. I find myself digging Leticia because she's (i) a different pretty, (ii) open and athletic and (iii) a blond.
Pretty Villains Alert: Battlestar Galactica's bevy of bad chicks are Tricia Helfer (Six) and Grace Park (Boomer).
Supporting Cutie Award: Goes to Julie Gonzalo, she's definitely rocking lead Natasha Henstridge, a fading favorite.
