I wrote this for the three of us

So, I got distracted by actually doing work and forgot to write the blog today.  Sorry about that. 

The pic I posted yesterday rocks my socks off.  I found it thanks to the EX neo-nazi here at work.

Maybe it's the same fucking moment, the same notion

Hmm...I'm a little sad that no one made any comments about what you guys think I have to offer the world.  I mean, other than an awesome (mostly) daily blog.  I know you all appreciate that regularly.   But in the event of Zombipocolypse 2011 I fear that Internet availability may be difficult to come by...

Either way, I worked on my homework even if you, my faithful and most important readers (in some ways the only way I know I even exist, it's like the axiom if a tree falls in the woods...if a blog isn't read on the Internet, did it ever really exist at all?), failed to do so.  Shame.  Okay, enough shaming, let's move on, shall we?

So, obviously I'm either not incredibly skilled at a whole lot of useful things or I am overlooking skills that obviously make me a shining star.  It's really your call, I suppose. Most of you know me so you can make your own decisions about the accuracy of my chart and it's possible missing components. 

I've probably wasted enough time at work today...I know I wanted to write more on this but there's always later and tomorrow.  At least until the zombipocolypse. Then there will still be tomorrow but it won't be the same. 

I must be good at something,I mean, there must be a reason for me, right?

First off, I can't find a video of the song I'm referencing in the title line of my blog today.  Gah.  I'll substitute with another song by the same band but it just doesn't have the same affect, you know?  You know.

So, I am using the title today, either way, because I was recently listening to a podcast about Freegans and dumpster diving on stuff you should know.  So apparently there is a website that you can go to if you are a freegan and find ways to volunteer your time to earn free services from other people volunteering their time as well, it's called timebanking.  Basically you say on this site that you can provide this service or training or whathaveyou and when you do you claim it for timebank dollars that you can later trade for other services from other people doing the same thing as you.  

Which made me think about what services I have for the public.  What I can teach people.  I mean, I'm not going to go freegan, I just like to think about how I can be useful.  For example, in the case of the impeding zombie apolcolypse of 2011, what skills to I have that will help further the pursuits of survival for the human race?  I work alone all day so I have these little thought excercises to keep me thinking and stuff.  Or I'd be the first zombie of the apocolypse and that is just unacceptable.  

I'm having a hard time coming up with a list of things that I contribute to society.  I'm going to think on this all day and try to come up with a list and post it tomorrow.  Any suggestions? 

And it's damaging me for ever, for sure

MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON MARATHON

I'll probably try to post from the marathon.  It probably won't be any better content that this, though.


Apparently we have entered the age of aquarius and I am not a gemini anymore but now a taurus.  I'm gonna use this as a new beginning.  I'm gonna become the ideal Taurus.  Let's see what that consists of.
Gemini Characteristics:

• they love to talk yup, this is me...
• intellectually inclined, forever probing people and places in search of information Sounds right...
• Sharing that information later on with those they love is also a lot of fun for Geminis are supremely interested in developing their relationships That sounds like me, too.
• Geminis also have a surplus of imagination waiting to be tapped I don't know about this one...
• They also love to share themselves with their friends, and they make for charming companions. I know quite a few people who would disagree with the charming companion part...

Taurus Characteristics:

• Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is all about reward. I do often need validation for what I do.
• Think physical pleasures and material goods, for those born under this sign revel in delicious excess This sounds more like ry than me...
• Along these lines, they also favor a good meal and a fine wine I do like good food and wine, but who doesn't like good food?  Really?  I've never met a person who was like 'food?  Eh, i could take it or leave it"
• They are also a tactile lot, enjoying a tender, even sensual, touch. Taurus adores comfort and likes being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things I like comfort and massages...
• They simply want to get things done, and it's that steady, dogged persistence that winds up being viewed as stubbornness I actually think this is kind of accurate, especially after i just finished draft 5 of the EPA paper...

Hm...I could go either way I guess.  I feel more like a Gemini but maybe that's because I was a Gemini.  Now I need to grab the bull by the horns (cheesy, I know) and really jump into my new Taurus-osity. 
And, P.S.....

Join me in joining the Zombie apocalypse!  I want to go.

I wish I was a little bit....

Feeling kind of sad today.  Started last night.  Why do I get sad when I hang out with my friends sometimes?  I'm not sure.  What's wrong with me? 

Here is my little part about me feeling bad about myself.  I know that this probably isn't true, but it's my blog and I'm allowed to feel bad for myself every now and then.  Eh, fuck it.  I just don't care.  I do, actually, I care a lot, but what I just wrote sounded like I was a 15 year old preparing to put on black lipstick and stand in the corner with my arms crossed brooding and glaring at everyone.  How pathetic.  Really.  That's just how I am.  I think I always wanted to be the person who could do that, I did try it a few times in high school and then all my high school friends stopped hanging out with me.  That wasn't the reason why, btw, but it did happen.  You figure I'd be a stronger and better and smarter and more fun to be around overall kinda person by now.  I'm not.  *shrugs*.  What can I do? Where do I begin to change?  Maybe I should pull out the black lipstick and black hair dye.  I'll dye it black No 1.

Anyway.   Enough of that for now. I'll stew in it all by myself today. 

Anyone know where I can order a bunch of custom stickers for really cheap?  Even better would be cheap plastic ranger badges but it'd have to be super cheap...I'd even give you one for your efforts....

I'm a big fan of ellipsis, I don't know if you have noticed....

Best quote of last night:  "What could be better than a sentient chimpanzee in a spacesuit?"  "A zombie sentient chimpanzee in a spacesuit?"  "A zombie pirate sentient chimpanzee in a spacesuit."

What should I make tonight?  It's cooking night for me, my new  years cooking project, experiment 2.  I want to make something healthy and yummy (I know, quite a contradiction) to take to the marathon.  I haven't found anything yet.  I'll keep thinking and looking. 

All the lies I heard from you, all the lies I took as truths

So, had a cracked filling and got it replaced today.  Still can't feel my face, but my tongue is all crackly like eating a handful of that pop rocks candy stuff.  I should have eaten breakfast but I didn't and now I'm pretty hungry and  don't have enough control of my mouth to even drink something, much less eat anything.  Well, I lied, I fumbled through a cup of yogurt.  My boss watched and laughed.  So glad I could make someone's day. 

I've been thinking about conspiracy theories.  The fluoride finding about it probably actually turning you stupid and ruining your teeth has me thinking about other conspiracy theories, well that and I just read about a bunch of them on the internet.  You know the place, where all things factual and truthful are found and where no one would ever lie or make up a story for sensationalism?  I mean, that's strictly for the mainstream media.  So, yeah.  Just thinking about it, you know?  There's also a podcast about conspiracy theories on howstuffworks.com, that's always interesting as well...  But the thoughts, you know, I work in the water industry, so it will be interesting to see what happens. 

I have run into the supposedly 'crazy' people who told me that the government was using fluoride to brainwash the population into complacent and docile members of society but I always passed it off as crazy.  Especially since the one guy was hiding in the woods dressed head to toe in camo, wearing gloves and a mosquito netting hat, long sleeved shirts and pants, in 90+ F degree weather walking his cat.  It was enough to make me feel that he was crazy.  He did tell me all about government control of the masses.  After that one encounter I never saw him again.  Did the government silence him?  Was he right about the aliens, too?  And what other secrets did he try to tell me as I made my escape from his general proximity? Why didn't I listen to him when I had the chance?  WHY!!!!!!!  I could have put us all in danger.  All of us.  It's all my fault.  I'm sorry, world, I have let you down.  Please, forgive me when the crazy guy's warnings come true and I didn't feel safe enough around him to stay and listen.  I hope you can forgive me for the Great Zombie Apocalypse of 2011. 

There she did it again.  Zombies.  Do I need to change the name of this podcast to something more zombie appropriate? 

My head is foggy today.  I finally slept through the night but now I feel like a zombie today...I'm not sure why.  Maybe I need more caffeine. 

Children spinning around til they fall down, down, down

So...

Sometimes I think people are too critical of others.  Everyone has flaws and faults as we all well know, right?  I think it's a good thing when people try to change themselves and even if they fail, well, they tried, right?  And maybe they will try again.  Perhaps it wasn't the right time in their lives to make that change?  And I agree, some people will just give up, that's just how it is and who they are. Like me, for example.  I try to change, I fail, I try something else, I don't know... I feel I'm in a pretty good place in life right now.  I almost asked you to confirm this but I won't.  I like where my life is right now.  I don't know where I'm going with this. Sorry about that. 

Speaking of life....these bird kills are bothering me.  The Arkansas one on New Years Day, the Louisiana one the next day and now the one in Sweden in addition to the massive fish kill in the river near where the Arkansas birds were found.  I know that these are coincidences.  It just bothers me for some reason.  I mean, I know that these things are not the sign of the coming apocolypse (don't worry, I won't have to turn 30 this year or turn into a zombie or a lich or anything like that, rapture is 3 days before my birthday) but I don't know why I can't stop thinking about them.  My science sense is tingling.  I guess I'm just pretty interested in it, I'd like to see what the actual cause is determined.

Anyway...this post, not so good,eh?  Oh, here, I'll tell you a short story.

So two days ago I was out sampling with Hopkins (the guy I went on the algae trip to Put in Bay with last summer) and we were getting out of the car.  I stepped down on the ground and then I was on the ground, that fast.  I didn't even have time to think about what happened or see the ice before I was half way under the car.  It was like an icy ninja had just taken me completely by suprise with it's crazy kung fu action (I know ninjas don't use kung fu but apparently crazy icy ninjas don't know that).  I accepted my defeat by sitting on the ground for a few breaths before picking myself off the ground granny style and then walking the rest of the way like I was worried about another crazy icy ninja fracturing my fragile hips.  Hopkins was laughing at me, and some lady in the parking lot was laughing at me, too.  It was pretty funny.  Hopkins did make sure to ask me if I was alright before he laughed at me for the better part of five minutes.  Eh, maybe you had to be there.

Music.  I'm feeling...well, believe it or not I'm not feeling zombies today.  Here's your music. 

Well, we will never die, it should come as no suprise

I'm coming down from a pretty stressful weekend due to some bad news at work that blew over finally.  I really don't want to talk about it any more than that. 

Ry's bday party on Sat was really nice, we had a good time.  Played some scatergories (can someone please tell me why Clowntopia doesn't count as a country? It should!) and creationary, which is pictionary with legos.  It's super fun but there aren't enough legos of each color.  It's acutally much harder than it sounds. 

Sunday we went to Momocho, a modern mexican restaurant in Ohio City.  It was super good and fun.  We went with Ry's friend from work, Joseph, and his boyfriend Mike. 

I'm really not feeling writing today.  My office is so cold my fingers aren't working right and I should probably get back to work anyway...

Music?  Sure.  More zombie themed music?  Of course (maybe....)

She never fooled us because she could never fool herself

Ah, the last day of 2010.  This is it.  All regrets and accomplishments for 2010 in the bin.  It's not so bad, really.  Another year, a fresh start. And the Sci-Fi Movie Marathon!  Woot!  Who's excited? 

I really don't have much to say on this last day of 2010.  I always feel that something monumental should be said on the last day of the year, something moving and important.  But unfortunately I have nothing moving or particularly important to say.  I guess I'll leave that to someone else. 

I really have zombies on the mind...I can't seem to shake them.  I GMed gamma world last night and it was totally plants vs zombies themed. Kind of.  I really like all the player characters we have so far, they are pretty awesome.  The Vic is a giant plucked turkey named Dr. Horrible who uses a Tesla coil to speak.  Ry is a kitty android named Neko-Bot 2000 who goes between super smart robot to irritating cat-person.  The NPC I made is a Russian rock woman who thinks everything can be related to bears and safe like houses.  But, lots of zombies in the game so far.  So, why am I so obsessed with zombies?  I hope I'm not a fortune teller and am predicting the coming zombie Apocalypse of 2011. 

I know it's been done before but perhaps I'll write up my own personal zombie survival guide.  Like, my own personal plan on how I'll deal with the zombie Apocalypse of 2011.  It could be my first post of 2011...A public service announcement if you will. 

And, just to keep in the feel of things, you're zombie song of the day:
