I’m This Many: 100001
Posted in Personal on Nov 24th, 2002
That puts me approximately here: 1 ——–*———– 0 I can’t believe I’ve already used up something like 41% of my life. I would have thought that I would have accomplished more by this point. I was thinking, maybe it’s just that I don’t have any goals, so I figured I’d sit down and come up [...]
ABC – Always Be Closing
Posted in Personal on Oct 23rd, 2002
I’ve never been a closer. I went to this networking/cocktail party type deal tonight. Every time I go to one of these things, I remember why I never go to these types of things. more…
Do You Want a Chair
Posted in Personal on Oct 15th, 2002
The weirdest stuff happens to me in restaurants. Take for instance this recent exchange: Waitress: How is everything? Me: It’s good. Thanks. Waitress: ??? (it was unintelligible, but it sounded like “do you want a chair?”) Me (mind racing furiously): Ughm… Waitress: It looks really good. I’d love a bite. Me (realizing the first thing [...]
You Never Really Knew Me
Posted in Personal on Oct 12th, 2002
Emode.com sucks. I mean I like that they say my IQ is 142 and that I’m equally good at math and verbal tasks. But, their personality test … Well let’s just say that this: That means you’re open minded, extroverted, free-spirited, and independent. Chances are you’re pretty liberal. You’re like a magnet for love and [...]
Can I Have a Volunteer
Posted in Personal on Oct 11th, 2002
I was chatting with a friend of mine who suggested I might be well served by volunteering to help with something. I can be pretty egocentric, so it probably would be good for me to take a little time to direct some of my energies outward. I tend to like literacy types of things, so [...]
It Really Seems Like October
Posted in Personal on Oct 10th, 2002
There’s a crispness in the air tonight. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about the weather that just feels like Autumn. The Fall was always my favorite time of year. Growing up in Nebraska, I hated the Winters. They were always too cold. And, I didn’t much like the Summers either. They [...]

Home Sweet Home

The Donger Need: Food Shower Sleep (!) (!) (?) By the way, would it have killed one of you people to remind me to throw a load of towels in before I left? Do you want me to have to stay up all night? Do you want me to be moist and uncomfortable tomorrow? I [...]
I went home with a waitressThe way I always do…*
Posted in Personal on Aug 3rd, 2002
I never know how to respond when a waitress flirts with me. I know, I know …. Just flirt back right? But, I just can’t. I always feel like I’m being played. I mean, I know that at least 99.9999% of the time, it’s all about the tip, and the other 0.0001% of the time [...]
