Oh blogoblog, I’ve been afraid to stop by for a variety of reasons. None of them rational. But I did give you a fresh coat of paint, I hope you like it. I’ve been overdoing the going-out lately. Which is surprising because that is not something I have ever overdone. I’m a hermit, I’m resigned…

I’m drowning this week. Sleep has been bad, work has been dissatisfying, social contact has been lacking. I’m in the middle of an ocean and every direction looks as good as any other. I can thrash around and choose a path but the view never seems to change. I’m also stubbornly refusing to blame this…

How can I write a long blog post when I can’t even read one.

I’m actually feeling ok today, thank you for asking.

Why does my subconscious always get in the way of my being better?

Hey, distracted spunk? I’m sorry. We were chatting yesterday and I just stopped replying and then disappeared offline. What happened? Oh well, I freakin’ fell asleep. At 3pm. At work. (Hey! It’s performance review time!) When I’m tired, I have that fucked-up sleepy logic. I tell myself, Oh, I’ll just lay my head down for…

Nothing to say. Started out writing a long ranty post, deleted it, spoke to someone, felt a bit better. Still a bad day today. Tonight: drinkies. Anyone else want to come out with a drink with me? I will buy the first round. Otherwise, email me with stories about bad days so that I might…

So it’s Boxing Day except it’s not Boxing Day because this day is a public holiday that is only celebrated by the British Commonwealth. Americans have not understood that after the exhaustion that is Christmas, we need another day off. I should make it my life’s work to bring this glorious public holiday to this…

I’m cranky today and I shouldn’t be. This morning I was actually having fun. I woke up early, got to work very early and got more stuff organized for my Japan trip. I was also planning to leave work a little early so I could rush home into the arms of Guitar Hero 3. But…

We don’t really celebrate Halloween in Australia, do we? Television networks celebrate it. They have to because all their American shows are suddenly doing Halloween specials and so they make black and orange promos and dredge up those old Stephen King tapes to make it look like it’s happening on purpose. Maybe young people in…

Ok it’s Monday. I want to start blogging daily again because that would be a nice change to this crazy repressive thing I do. I woke up, showered quickly, skipped breakfast and started to walk out the door when I realised I hadn’t done my hair. Hair needs to be done because otherwise I walk…

It was a good Friday. I got into work late and wasted a few hours sorting out my email. Then there was a big team lunch because we where saying farewell to a team member who is moving on to greener pastures, so that killed another 2 hours. Then I left work a few hours…

I really just don’t have it in me to keep blogging right now. Here is a photo of my first-cousin-once-removed, Isabella. She just turned two and will probably grow to know me as “that Uncle that lives in America”. Isabella’s second birthday So the reasons: 1. Work is busy Last few weeks it was shit…

There was a big meeting today and the speaker promised a surprise at the end. When I heard this I got really excited. Like, “Wow, maybe we’re all getting free iPhones.” This was not the case. It seems the only presentations I watch today are Steve Jobs’ keynotes and I expect surprises at the end…

So, I’m in the cafeteria today and I’ve been invited to the table full of Chinese co-workers. I can’t help but think to myself in a gruff cowboy voice, “Boy howdy, I sure wish they’d stop speakin’ all that asian-ese so I can understand ‘em.” Chinese New Year at Crown – 2006 They are, of…

Business Perspective by Brapke I guess it’s time to write another blog post. Umm, let’s see. It’s about 2pm and I am only just start to eat lunch. I am feeling a little light-headed as a result. The terrible thing is that since I am hungry, I will eat lunch very quickly and this will…

Mornings before work are tense. Lip-bitingly tense. Why? Because… work! Gotta go! Gotta pay your dues! Win some bread! Bring home the bacon! What I brought home was more bacon fat than bacon The sun is out today and I will be walking about 6 blocks to the bus stop. Everything here is measured in…

Ugh As a side note, Studds dragged me to the tiny gym they have in this apartment complex and we did some weights for a while. Let me tell you that I am out of shape and that my arms are still killing me. From working out. 3 days ago. I suck. Anyway, the first…

Wish me luck!
