Well, Do one thing..
As yet another weekend flies right past me, I can’t help but realize that there’s less and less distance between Today and my Birthday. I’m not a big fan of birthdays, you see.. if I were in Logan’s Run, I would have met up with the big ceiling fan in the sky by now. I know, I know.. you’re only as young as you think you are, and I feel like a 25-year old, look like a 28-year old, and act like a 10-year old.. so I should be content.
The thing is, although I may Feel, Look, and Act younger.. I’m not. The world does not cater to my delusions. I’m starting to be seen as “the old guy”, I’m fighting a losing battle against my greys, my metabolism is starting to make me think twice about dessert, and that noise on the radio just doesn’t make any dang-blarned sense to me anymore! Phooey!
I can’t stop the hands of time (dammit!), but I suppose the time is approaching for me to stop being like the Grasshopper and start being more like the Ant. Spurred on by articles such as this one, that remind me of how the sand is falling quicker than I’d like, I’m being forced to think about life over the hill.
One would think that someone such as myself would have no problem picking a “Plan B”. After all, I have many talents! (Giggity! Giggity!) I’ve spent my whole life dabbling in this and that. Unfortunately, THAT is the problem! See, a good friend (Hi! Teleshka!) once said to me “You’ve got to do something 60 times for it to become habit.” (This was when I was having issues learning to ride Horses.. my hip hurts just thinking about it.) Meanwhile, The powers that be state that in order to be an expert at something, you must do that one thing for about 10,000 hours. Well, using those two statements as a reference.. I’d say I have a ton of habits, but as far as expertise.. I’m an expert sleeper? Or am I? My recent sleep study revealed that I don’t sleep well, bouncing in and out of REM erratically which is why I’m always sleepy and take ProVigil to keep me on my toes.
So, knowing that I’m an expert at nothing.. what am I to do? What are my passions? Drawing, Writing, Human Sexuality, Computers. I may not be an expert at anyone one of those things, but surely I’m an expert at all of them combined! The obvious solution would be for me to use Computers to Write books on Human Sexuality which include some awesome Drawings from yours truly. Hmm.. that started off as a joke, but now that I see it in writing, it doesn’t seem so far fetched.
Get to the point already!
Oh, you live.. I was worried about you. Anyway.. The point is this: Plan A is great.. but don’t forget to nurture Plan B. you may need it sooner than you think.

Dr. Zeuss on having kids..
Having kids? Yes, that’d be fun..
but I’ll just be having one.
Wanting two? Well, that won’t do.
Seen the rising cost of shoes?!
Craving three? Nope, not from me!
They’d just sit and watch tv.
If it’s four you’re aiming for,
let me show you to the door.
If to five you must arrive,
there you won’t find me alive.
That’s my limit, nope! [...]

Acts 8:23
When I was a young’n.. you know, last week sometime.. I would frequent church all the time. Not by choice, mind you. My parents were very strict religious people, and going to church was a nearly daily event. An event that I really couldn’t comprehend and certainly didn’t enjoy. Those of you who know me [...]
Dating site review
What’s all this, now?
Included, for your viewing pleasure, is a dating site popularity chart. I’ve been dating for a little while and I’ve tried pretty much all of the dating sites out there. I figure it’s high time I let people know what I think about these super fine sites.. it’s been a while since [...]
Petty or not, here I come!
Um.. you have some thing with Tom Petty now?
Nope. Today was a great day.. I ran a few errands and played outside in the great weather. As my day went on, I found myself experiencing bouts of sadness.
Aww, what’s wrong? Realized that because you’re such an a-hole you’re forced to do things alone?
No.. I’m always [...]
Adobe Premiere won’t import MP4’s!
This is more of a reminder for me.. but when you try to import MP4’s into Adobe Premiere, it says the file is corrupt.. pshaa, right! You just need to rename the file from .mp4 to .mpg and presto, voila! It’s like Magic.
I got.. Two tickets and a pair of dice.
2 Tickets, eh? What for?

How does someone get them?
Easy.. all they have to do is find me a girlfriend!
A girlfriend?!! Geez.. why don’t you use the normal venues, like everyone else?
I have! They don’t work. I’ve tried the bars, I’ve spent tons [...]
Bloody hell, it’s all in vein.
This sounds like a vampire tale.. is it?! I like vampires!
Negative, goat rider.. I was recently told that there’s no such thing as altruism. The logic behind the statement being that even if someone is being selfless, they’re doing it to be thought of as selfless, which in and of itself is selfish.
um..
Yea, if you [...]
