I've got a bike…
I should be riding it. I think this Thursday morning (boss is in class that day) I’ll take it to the bike shop and have them make sure it’s ok… I think one of my tires is a little low, and want to be sure I don’t get stuck somewhere. There is a bike rack to park my bike right outside my office building, so that is very convenient… I also understand that it is…

Travel
I’ve got a lot of upcoming travel. In June I go to WI for my nephew’s going away party (he’s joining the Army) and instead of being in DC for Gay Pride, I’ll be in Nashville, TN for the first time. It’s hoped that I’ll get to see the Hall of Fame and the Grand Ol Opry. In July, I travel to WI once again, this time for my 20th High School reunion, well kind…

Hard to believe in some prayers
I have been finding myself saying the same prayer over and over and over again: God, save me from being angryThis is a sick manHow may I be helpful to him. But, I don’t believe it yet… I don’t put conviction behind it and I don’t really want to be helpful to him in any way. But I keep praying, maybe I’ll believe it some day, but not today.

Why We CC Your Boss
For two reasons actually, the first reason is because he always talked about how incredibly lazy you had become and we want to point out to him that this is indeed still true and the second reason is we want you to do the work and know if we don’t cc your boss, chances are you’ll be too busy sighing and surfing the net to do the work.

The Stalker – Updated
I’m spoken to the Police and we’re going to start a case against him. The officer assured me that he is indeed demonstrating stalking behavior and we should take steps necessary to nip this in the bud. OK, because at this point I am just god damn creeped out and pissed off and frustrated I’m putting it here. Many years ago, I slept with a guy named Rod. His name is spelled Raad I guess…

42 – Towel Day – May 25th, be prepared.
<img src="http://www.towelday.kojv.net/towelday.gif" alt=”Towel Day :: A tribute to Douglas Adams (1952-2001)” width=”468″ height=”60″ border=”1″> To quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practicalvalue – you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of…

Annual Ft Lauderdale Trip
My trip to Ft Lauderdale was rather uneventful this year, no malicious woundings in the Metro, not falling in love with some guy I barely knew… or even lust. I took long naps each day, watched more TV that I have in months and got more of a tan… all in all, I had a very relaxing vacation. Considering that my last 4 trips were taken with other people, this is EXACTLY what I needed.…

I Saw Iron Man
I really liked it. Great special effects, they stuck to the story line that we know and love in the comic books, and Robert Downey Jr was magnificent. He really played the part of Tony Stark quite well. I thought Gweneth Paltrow did a nice job in her role as Pepper too, but I hope the public doesn’t expect a romance – as that would not be in the script. Previews that were before the…

Journalism – edited
I wrote for my very first newspaper in high school, I created an advice column called: Dear Zeus which was a humorous advice column, but so popular that it ended up talked about in our graduating year yearbook. I tried to keep answers light especially if the question was silly (For example, one person wrote in: “Why do females travel to the bathroom in pairs?” my answer: “Group Therapy”). My second foray into journalism was…
