Silver Lining
The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) here in Boulder, Colorado has issued an alert. The alert states that recently there have been large solar explosions (coronal mass ejections is what the scientists call them) on the sun. These flares are creating large x-ray bursts. The SEC (Space Environment Center) issues alerts at the M5 [...]

A Few Things
I got my haircut last night. It’s been a while. My head feels nice and cool now though. The stylist was smokin’, I was too intmidated to carry a conversation. My microwave brokedown on me last night. Right in middle of warming up some left over pizza for dinner. I ended up having to use [...]

Cushy Chairs And Low Light
plop I left work early Friday to go argue with the phone people. The telecom and cable companies are the worst customer service industries I have run into. Please do not use AT&T (And SoundTrack sucks too. Please do not use them either). We lost at kickball again Friday. We are now the worst team [...]

Remember The Carpet
I remember the carpet in my elementary school. It was that short kind of carpet: cut low to the floor. You know, that commercial/industrial strength carpet, you probably have it your office. I do. I’m sure some chemical or textile company had developed it particularly to withstand the 1000′s of muddied, sneakered, stomping feet. Of [...]

An Underachiever’s Diary
“…I am, in all things, an underachiever, bound by nature to wrestle with the dull unanswerable and then give up, to the benefit of no one…” A plain white cover with simply the Authors name, Benjamin Anastas, and the words An Underachiever’s Diary on it were so appealing, I bought the book without knowing anything [...]

My Leveraged Brokerage
After I got off of work yesterday I went over to Govorners Park. I’m not a huge fan of this place cause it seems to have such a yuppyish afterwork type crowd (so…what kind of car do you drive?) but I don’t mind it, it can be fun sometimes and the beers are huge. I [...]

Hot Mustard
Our kickball team lost again on Friday. We haven�’t won a game yet. And the regular season is now over. We went the entire season without winning a game. But we all had so much fun and everybody is finally starting to catch on. The team is starting to gel. It�’s actually kind of fun [...]

The Drivel
I fell asleep at 9:00 PM last night and forgot to set my alarm. I didn’t wake up till 8:00 AM this morning. Man that felt good. I think I’m pretty caught up on the sleep debt now. I also have absolutely no plans for the weekend. Well I guess kickball tonight. Maybe I’ll go [...]

Midnight’s Children
I’m a bit of a slow reader to begin with. When I read I take my time and try to engage every page and every word. I don’t skim and will reread sections when I feel like I didn’t understand them. This led to trouble while reading Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. Damn this book took [...]

Nonsense
Been working really hard this week and things are finally starting to come to a close I think. I hope. I wonder. I’m slowing starting to get nothing done. Heh heh. I’m getting some things done. It’s just that it never ends. Which I kinda guess is a good thing. I’m not sure if I [...]

Patented Hubs Half-speak
On Saturday I took care of a few errands in the morning and headed out to Jimbo and Oat’s wedding. It was really nice, really short, really traditional and very large. But it was really fun and I was thrilled to see them both so happy. Afterwards, I went to the reception at a local [...]

Like A Ballroom Dance
The weekend was great, again. And busy. It started right out of the gates after work on Friday. It met SE across the street in the lobby of the Brown Palace. I can’t believe she got to stay there. We recognized each other immediately. She invited me along with her to a bunch events that [...]

Nomunication
Last night, after getting off a phone call that totally boosted my mood from were it was yesterday after noon, I went out to the uptown for a beer and some din din. After I ordered a quesadilla I got a phone call from a friend I hadn’t heard from in a long time wondering [...]

This Little Thing I Got Here
So I guess this is about all I do with this little thing I got here. This thing you’re reading. I tell you how I whooped it up on the weekend and then I spout off about my feelings. It’s getting tiresome. It’s ok, I know it is. I’ve been… I don’t know, frustrated I [...]
