Passion and Addiction

I wish I was passionate about something in life.  I could do with just about anything and not be too upset.  I am always jealous of people who can throw themselves into their work or have something that they can earnestly focus their energies on and have immense satisfaction upon reaching their goals.  I don’t [...]

Censor the Sunday Evening Moon?

I was watching the Bears game on Sunday Night Football witnessing Jay Cutler throw shitty passes and then pout about it on the sidelines when something happened… I was only half paying attention to the game and half surfing the web because I knew that the Bears were destined to shit another winnable game away.  [...]

Top Nine Friday – Movin’ on up Edition

I am going to be moving soon (kill me now).  It is not a long distance move but I am still dreading the whole process.  My sensitivity to aggravating situations and extreme laziness make moving an experience akin to passing a kidney stone and getting my wisdom teeth removed at the same time.  I have [...]

Career Lessons – A Retrospective (Part Two)

After college I thought that things were going to be different with my life… I was heading into the “REAL” world.  I was merging into the career fast lane filled with focused intelligent professionals who would stop at nothing to get the job done.  Its not.  Post college work is more like being in the [...]

Career Lessons – A Retrospective (Part One)

Even though I am a self proclaimed sloth I have had at least a part time job since I was 15.  Anything that I am doing for money will eventually become (at least sometimes) something that I inherently dislike.  Even if I was the oil-boy for the Tropicana Girls Bikini Team the alarm would go [...]

Top Nine Friday – Kwanzaaaaa Spirit Edition

There are not that many things that suck about living in Southern California but the holiday season is one of them.  The holidays come and go and it is pretty much unnoticed except a few decorations at the mall or the shitty Adult Contemporary music being replaced by shitty Christmas music at Starbucks.  Southern Californians [...]

LaaaaaaZZZZZyyyy!!!

My laziness is infinite.  It is like the universe or a fat chick’s FUPA… always expanding and threatening to envelop everything.  Some people manipulate situations so they get their way or gain power in a  relationship… not me.  I manipulate things so I can sit on the couch longer, avoid work or get someone else [...]

Lets Kill Small Talk!

I have a suggestion for society.  It is groundbreaking and would change the nature of communication as we know it… We need to completely do away with small talk.  These conversations are so painful for me yet I find myself involved in them all the time at work or just with random people.  Do we [...]

The Evolution of the Berfday

Birthdays are interesting rituals.  It is supposed to be a special day but in reality it doesn’t make much sense why we put such an emphasis on that day.  I have always thought that is was funny that we celebrate our emergence from our mother’s vagina.  I guess it is something that everyone has in [...]

The Aging of Perception

As a person gets older a perception that has been generating over the course of a lifetime takes hold and things become far less dynamic over time.  As a child a person is constantly in flux and their perception changes at a rapid pace.  Events and experiences major and minor can completely change someone’s view [...]
