Kind Acts of Randomness

New Jersey sucks. I got lost there last week. I made a wrong turn, but convinced myself that it was still right even though I knew deep down it was wrong. I didn't give in for about twenty miles. Then I had to find a place to turn around. Did you know that left turns are illegal pretty much everywhere in New Jersey? So I did a few bizarre maneuvers and probably damn near caused a few accidents just to turn around. Oh well. I guess we all get our turn to be the asshole.

Trying to upload songs to iTunes that were downloaded from other sites is a pain in the ass.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I'm really digging the bootlegs that Paul has been burning for me from bit torrent. So far, I have two really great Pixies shows and a Grateful Dead show that I used to have on tape. The download is better quality than the tape that I used to have. He had a really cool U2 show, too.

Best advice ever given to me: Don't piss off the psycho.

Yesterday marked the one month anniversary of the gigantic mound of snow that ran off my roof and gathered directly in front of my door. Because there was ice mixed in with this, it was impossible to get rid of and I've been using my garage to get in and out of the house. I kind of like the mound there. I would know if someone was trying to break in because there would be footprints.

I have this coworker that no one likes. But I think he rocks! This is mostly because he bribes me with alcohol.

I hate people who smile when giving bad news. I don't necessarily mean people who smile in a "ha ha neener neener" kind of way (although, they suck, too). I mean the people who smile as if it's going to make the horrific (and usually blunt) blow more bearable. For example - "You have cancer," or "I want to see other people" or "Don't come into work anymore. You're fired." There's no way to make these words more pleasant. So save your fake nicey nice crap for someone who won't feel like kicking you in the teeth.

I can't believe the Platypus Man is dead.

Only 19 more days until Guitar Hero II comes out for the Xbox 360. Woo hoo!

Some really great things have happened since I got back from Hawaii. One of my friends is pregnant. That had a long time coming. Another friend got a new job. That also had a long time coming. And Paul got a raise and a promotion. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with that Tiki God that is in my bedroom Take that luck, Greg Brady!

Enough with the Hinder song already, people! You know who you are.

Why do people dwell on mistakes? Just acknowledge it, learn from it and move away from it as quickly as possible. Sometimes when you pick up the pieces, you end up cutting yourself. Maybe it's better to just step over them.

It sucks when you get sick in the middle of a big meeting.

My friends rule! I don't know what I ever did to deserve such wonderful people in my life, but I know I don't tell them nearly enough. You have all been so good to me lately. I love you all. Muah!
