Sleep mailing?

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I sent this secret in my sleep or something. So good to see I'm not alone in this. Almost everything I say has been already practiced in my head. So much so, I have a really hard time separating things I've thought about saying and things I've actually said. Often times I'll choose not to say something simply because I can't remember if I already said it or not. So if I ever repeat myself, now you know why...

I'm sure this is also why I'm so much better at "talking" over text-based mediums. Long pauses while I argue with myself about what to say don't seem so weird that way. Unfortunately, the pauses are exaserbated by my compulsion to make sure I've spelled things correctly as well. :)

Curse You

To the fucktard that was incapable of judging the distance between their car and mine and thereby left a huge dent to remember them by when they opened their door:

This is really really cool. Be sure to watch the whole thing.

Friday Five

Funny this is about fish this week...

1. Have you ever gone fishing?
I used to go all the time when I was a kid. Any time we went camping and any time we went to our lake cabin. But it's been many years since I did either of those.

2. Do you have an aquarium?
Not personally, no. But there is one in my house.

3. Do you eat fish?
Not very often, I don't like it much at all. I have found that I eat a lot more since moving to Washington though. Night and day difference in quality over what is served in Colorado.

4. Have you ever seen Finding Nemo?
More times than I really care to think. Dorrie is still hilarious every time though.

5. What do you think of Sushi?
I think it is food which isn't done. I don't eat uncooked meat, that's just gross. I do so want to enjoy the vegetarian kind, I love sushi rice and it sounds good with the fresh veggies, but sorry folks, seaweed tastes exactly as good as it sounds. But...given the opportunity to eat that crazy Fugu stuff...I would totally try that.

Office Rule #356

Bringing in left over fish and reheating it for lunch is NOT okay.

Addendum A: Ignoring rule #356 and also carrying said reheated lunch into an elevator shall be punished with a swift kick to the crotch.

I Dunno

Think I'm going to have to call shenanigans on this. Seems to me this just wouldn't work, but then, I don't have a cell phone, so maybe I just don't understand.

Don't Blow Yer Fingers Off

Happy 4th of July! Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post tonight, not sure if I'm going to go see fireworks or not. Nothing close by, not sure how badly I want to drive.

Eye Of The Storm

Lyrics by The Cruxshadows
Emphasis by me

The trials you now are facing
They are not greater than your will
For there is nothing under heaven
You cannot overcome

See the door that lies before you
And know this too shall pass
The confrontation of your fears
In strength drawn from the past
When the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone

For I have watched the path of angels
And I have heard the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm

In fragments of an instant
The chaos has returned
And all that was left to sentiment
Beneath the banner burned

And as that voice was slow receded
Into echoes, memory
My doubts were re-ignited
And fear awakened from its sleep

I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away

And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticize?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives

This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur

There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm

The pages of our history
Are written by the hand
With eyes and ears and prejudice
Too far removed to understand

And so the heroes of the ages
Are stripped of honesty and love
To make them seem less noble
And hide what we can become

If you find the courage within you
To face the path ahead
It matters not the outcome
If what you will gain instead
Is a heart deepened in the knowing
That experience carves the soul
And the very thing that empties you
Shall surely make you whole

Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone
For I have watched the path of angels
And I have hears the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
But calm in the eye of the storm...
