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.

Bal en Blanc
Montreal was fantastic even while it was "brick cold". Below are highlights of the trip:
Travel - Two hour delay at LGA and had to fly back into JFK instead
Food - Didn't know what to eat and the dinners were so-so. FYI, L'entrecote Saint-Jean sucked and Mikasa Sushi's service blew
Shopping - The famed underground city is no joke. I presumed it for the folks who didn't smoke but was properly corrected as it kept folks out of the frigid weather
Chinatown - Was small and their pastries/ice coffee lacked the oomph of our own C-town
Geography - We stayed at a decent hotel downtown that was quite convenient
Couche Tard - Rocks as Montreal's 7-11
Chez Cora - We ate here three times; can't go wrong with the Western Omelette Bobby Botton or the Cora Special
Liberal - If you're 18 and older, you can drink and gamble. Folks recognize that alcohol and drugs will be taken regardless so it seems that they allow it to happen and promote cautionary measures as opposed to outright crackdowns like in the U.S. Just don't be so blatant about it
White Party - Took 3 hours to get into the party; must have been 15,000 or so people there; we caught Ferry Corsten's last 2 hours and made it through Armin's 4-hour set that ended at 9AM; Armin shook my hand twice after his set, BOOYA!

Republican Rage
...directed at Democrats and homosexuals.
On Friday, an Iowa congressman by the name of Steve King warned that terrorists, notably those affiliated with Al Qaeda, will be dancing in the streets if Barack Obama is elected President. Rep. Steve King based his prediction on Obama's pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein. King is the typical American Christian right-wing dumb-fuck.
On 22 January, talk radio host John Gibson seem to be rejoicing in Heath Ledger's unfortunate overdose. He and other Christian right-wingers claim that Ledger's death is proof that god hates homosexuals. As you know, Brokeback Mountain was a movie and Heath portrayed a reluctant gay cowboy. A woman claim that her ability to read the bible proved that she understands and knows the almighty's thinking in the ordering of Ledger's death.
What the fuck is wrong with these folks? Their good book teaches them to be kind to their neighbors but they're a bunch of backward whiny hating fucktards. If one does not conform to their good book views, then one is automatically damned to hell and worthy of their scorn and venom.
It seems all three major religions - Judaism, Islam & Christianity - seek a return to the days of "ain't got shit". The Jews constantly remind themselves of their people's past struggles. The Muslims want to bring back the pre-millennium days of their main man, Mohammed. The Christians want their homey, Jesus, to return.
Here are some reasons to let history be history:
-electricity
-air conditioning
-refrigeration
-vaccines
-way better explanations than "god made it so"
-better & quicker information sharing
I heard a good one last year: the American Christians are hoping and praying that the Anti-Christ hath cometh already because it means Jesus is surely to return to bring them into his bosom by way of the Rapture. Are they a cruel, evil and selfish bunch?

March Monday thoughts
My right wrist still hurts. It happened on a Monday morning three weeks ago. I woke up and I felt pain shoot up my arm as I got up. I thought it would go away but it hasn't so I finally got around to immobilizing it last night. I'll need to see a doctor soon.
The on-going joke with folks who know about my mysterious injury is that I've been jerking off too often and much. Here's the sad thing, there certainly wasn't any jerking off that Sunday night, the night before, the week before, the month before, etc. Otherwise, it might have been worth it. Dammit!
Getting old sucks.
Other thoughts.....from news I read....
1. Yet another murder-suicide is reported. This time, it took place at a Wendy's in Florida. A guy walks in, starts blasting and then eats one himself without telling the clerk that he'd like some fries with the bullets. There seemed to have been one each week for the last month.
2. Eco-terrorists started fires that burned expensive homes in Seattle. Aren't eco-terrorists those who would sabotage corporate or political plans to wreck the environment? If so, what's the point of burning down the homes? Fires add to our carbon dioxide problem and cause the folks to seek new sources of wood for rebuilding their homes which, in turn, defeat that which the group wants to achieve. Dimwits with good intentions.
3. Iran's nutty president visited Iraq and said that "foreigners" should leave Iraq. Obviously, he meant the U.S. and its allies. What about the jihadists? These are the non-Iraqi Sunni folks who are blasting and blowing up the Shiites who are the majority in both Iran and Iraq. Presumably, these folks, being Muslim, are welcomed to practice and perfect their murderous techniques. Fuckwits.
The world is becoming a sad place. While a part of me still wants to be a father, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to bring a child into the world. Seems selfish.

Valentine's Day...PSSSSHHHHH....
It's got to be the dumbest day around. Why do couples need to be kind to each other for one special day? What about the other 360 days? I'm taking into account each person's birthday, Christmas and the anniversary, if either remembers. I think 183 days of being nice to your mate is the minimum. For those who suck at math, that's 1 day more than half a year. Or simply, do something every other day.
So keep expectations low, smile, throw him/her a wink or two and hug each other. Every other day. Y'all should be so lucky to have someone to deal with your shit.
Another thing.... Roses and candy are so lame. Go to a flower shop, look at the flowers, pick the ones the evoke a nice memory and write it down on the card that you send along with the flowers. Pork chops, if they stuffed, are good too.
Roses....PSSSSShhhhh.......

I helped Dell
Who would have thunk it? Some Dell tech guy read my XPS comment.
Maybe Dell should comp me the laptop for helping them figure out why Vista sucks.
Maybe Dell should comp me the laptop for helping them figure out why Vista sucks.
Absence of Football
I woke up at 930AM, 90 minutes before the alarm on my 5 year old deactivated cell phone went off. I had hoped to hear the ring tone, levitate kavallerie. It was loud and very different. I haven't figured out how to add that particular ring tone to subsequent phones.
After an hour of checking on my Vista-damaged XPS, I went to Verizon Wireless to activate my new phone, a black Chocolate. It was a nice that I only waited for 5 minutes before being helped. I told the lady that I wanted to activate my new phone and she replied "there's going to be a $20 charge." Uh.......bullshit. I am grateful that she gave me instructions to activate it at home.
So I spent the $20 on gas and 8 pieces of KFC dark meat with 4 biscuits. Half original and crispy. There was also a $2.11 cup of Dunkin Donuts too.
When I got home, Vista restarted itself and was noisily scanning for something I did to fix it. I suppose I annoyed it like a doctor would give a child an immunization shot.
It was noon and, for the first time since late August, I didn't have to call Fuzzy. There was no Sunday pre-game show on ESPN. So I watched "Dick".
Around 330PM, I moved the car and took a nice stroll home but could not figure out what to have for dinner.
Vista seemed to be well off and I surfed. I had bookmarked a wonderfully written site that I stumbled upon in December: www.f-ckingc-nts.com Yes, it is a real site. No, it's not some misogynistic site. Actually, it's written by an incredibly funny and intelligent woman who loves the word "cunt".
From there, I found a link to yet another hilarious site: www.mil-millington.com.
Great laughter. Especially in the absence of football.

恭喜发财
There's a Chinese tradition that the first thing one is supposed to do upon awaking on Chinese New Year is to put something sweet into their mouth so as to have a sweet new year.
This morning (as in every morning), it was Listerine.
I think I have a cavity now as one my upper molars is aching.
D'oh!

Cinco Anos
At the close of business tomorrow, I will have worked here for 5 years.
I just got back from an after-lunch walk as I was feeling quite stuffed. I did think about the job and what it's brought me but it was fleeting. I let random images, thoughts and memories float across the eyes.
As peristalsis kicked it, I felt better and started an internal campaign for walk more often.
I'm done raging.
hahahahahaha.....Full Tilt crashed!

Apolitical
For most of my life, that was one of many adjectives that describes me. Nowadays, I'm becoming a baby-killing-left-winger, so those hateful-deluded-right-wingers would have you think. Really, it's my watching A Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report that I've gotten more politically sensitive about this beloved country of mine.
In a CNN online article today: "Romney took aim at McCain's past record of teaming up with Democrats on campaign finance reform, immigration legislation,...an energy cap and trade-bill."
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT?
I would hope that my elected representative would work together to stamp out lobbyists whose bosses are the fucking wealthy because legislation usually don't help the public. I'm willing to bet that there isn't one $2,000+ tailored suit wearing sumbitch in D.C. working to get health insurance for the uninsured or to lower the cost of healthcare.
Both sides probably have good ideas that, if meshed together, could keep this country from being a sponge for immigrants. It's unfair to the illegals that they're doing the shit jobs that fat, lazy and poorly-educated Americans won't do. Instead of working the unpaid border patrol, pick some fucking fruits, veggies or cotton.
There's got to be something wrong with alternative fuels because only the leftists and hippies are into that shit. Conservatives don't believe in conservatism. The status quo of gas-guzzlers canNOT be messed with. We must preserve and CONSERVE our right to maintain our addiction. What a travesty to see a fucking hippy driving them fairy-ass gas-sippers! Real God-fearing-STD-carrying men drive pick-ups and monster trucks!
The essence of outsourcing is someone offering to do it better and cheaper. Broke-ass foreigners, who worked hard to earn their degrees, are willing to get the job done even at a lower price. But these stupid jerks wished they was Americans so they takes our American jobs that I can't do. That's just messed up. Go back to where yous was and learn to love our American french fries!
While Rodney continues to be an idiot and get hisself in trouble, his famous question remains unanswered and ignored: why can't we just get along?
"Seriously" - asked/answered/commented by Meredith Grey
Obama, Hilary and Johnnie E were getting along. Then BLAM!. Each one of them wanted to the choke the shit out of the other. John McC is getting blasted for wanting to work with his fellow Americans? While I might not agree with a bunch of his positions, I don't see how I'm convinced to vote for Mighty Cap Gun Hunter Mitty.
I'm secretly wishing that Bloomie and Hagel will get together and make a run for 1600 PA Ave.
In the meantime, I continue to daydream like John Dorian.

So far, so good....
It is now the 40th hour mark. I am faring much better than last year. It's probably because my will is stronger. Though I will admit to wanting to just give it up for a smooth toke or five.
Today's lunch coma is more pronounced that yesterday's. I think it's the body wondering where all the nicotine and seeing as there's no new supply, it's allowing the body to power down. In fact, I nodded off several times while writing this.
I'm awake now as work is slowly piling up. The new guy is taking a different approach this year and promised the Penguin that we'll put on $100 (a personal goal that I reached by June 30, 2007). However, given the current environment, the $50-$50 split may not be so easy. Plus, given my competitiveness, I'd probably want to close at least $75 just to keep my shine.
It's mighty cold today, so please get wrapped up.

Last day
And I'm actually in the office at 815AM. That's because I got home at 700AM this morning after yet another marathon of rubbing tiles with the family, 16 on both Saturday and Sunday nights. Strangely, I'm awake but feel quite wired and I'm abstaining from caffeinated beverages. I think the four cups of noir is still working.
It's a beautiful morning with the overnight showers having moved into the Atlantic Ocean. The cold crisp winter air is so clean that I'm filling my lungs. But not fully. I'm quite motivated this morning to finally quit smoking. In the past, I've always rationalized that I'm only going to stop as I will smoke again after certain events. However, recent research has moved me towards fully embracing the complete and total cessation of the habit.
It will certainly be a trying January 2008 as last January was really fucking hard. I wanted to rip people's faces off, especially in the office. I think the difference is I wanted to stop last year whereas I believe I NEED to stop. Period.
So I ask my friends who read this to bear with me and to encourage me to stay clean. Thank you in advance. Have a wonderful forthcoming 2008!

The Rationale:
- Life gets better because we become older, supposedly wiser and more aware.
- Smoking will shorten it worse than the other diseases because it was self-inflicted.
- Don't be a stupid ass anymore.

This Year's Eve
Will be the 21st consecutive Eve on which I could be partying. There's a slight possibility that I will. However, I also don't want to do anything. The proverbial "been there, done that" is making a strong case to just stay in and relax. Perhaps if the Eve were a Thursday, I would probably get myself out there and tear it up a bit. One day to recover isn't a lot at my age. I don't want to have residuals on Wednesday as I stroll into the office. It doesn't help that I haven't done any work since the end of November.
Hopefully, I'll get the next 3 DVDs from Netflix on Monday. I might just open a bottle of my favorite cabernet and fire up a ribeye. That's sounding like a good idea.
