All Cylinders Firing

Forget the Curveball, Ricky - Give 'Em the Heater

2005-08-01T11:02:00.000-05:00

I have a meeting this afternoon with management to discuss the "future" of my software group's user interface direction. The plan is to provide them with enough material to get them excited about a new aesthetic look and feel. It's quite possible that this meeting could either secure my longevity at the company or trigger a purge of all UI creators. Oh wait, I'm the only one here.

That being said, I can't wait to get in to the meeting and sit back while my boss does all the talking. My bullshit knows no limits.

Women

Do yourself a favor and go listen to "Women" by Def Leppard, which is found on their legendary Hysteria album. It will teach you everything you need to know about females.

I'm just kidding. That song rocks, though. ("a whole lotta fire, a little bit of ice!"!)

I heard one time that the odds of a man finding his "perfect match" are something like 10,000 to 1. Now, I don't know where that figure comes from, but it doesn't exactly inspire much hope. I think maybe everyone is supposed to find someone they can be content with and just accept that as a "oh well, close enough" relationship. I certainly hope that's not the case, though.

Anyway, now that everyone's uplifted, back to singing: "Women! Women! Lots of pretty women!!"

No More Monitor Throwing

2005-07-26T14:44:00.000-05:00

I've decided to stop throwing monitors at people and instead use this to rant and rave, hopefully to calm myself. That being said, I believe it's still ok to curse and slam my fist on the desk sometimes. Below are some things that have affected my mood today.

Good = My fully charged iPod blasts an Iggy Pop & The Stooges song, making me jump.
Bad = Realizing that the project I'm working on features code from Satan.
Good = Instead of dessert, I opt for a bowl of soup after eating my salad.
Bad = I lust for carrot cake and curse the bowl of soup.

Things That Make Me Smile

2005-07-26T12:30:00.000-05:00

1. The new Clutch album, "Robot Hive/Exodus", which kicks major intergallactic a$$.
2. My vacation at Myrtle Beach.
3. My mini-vacation at Put In Bay.
4. Visiting my family and seeing my niece and nephew.
5. Last week I listened to the same King Crimson song (a live recording of "Starless") for the entire day. The ENTIRE day.

Follow the Leader

2005-07-26T12:17:00.000-05:00

Everyone else has their own blog, and I'm too lazy to build my own. Now that I think of it, I don't even have my own web site except for a one-screen portfolio site, and that is hosted at geocities. Man, I've GOT to get my stuff together.

Here's what I'm up to lately:
1. Work, eat, work, drink, sleep.

Welp, that's about it. Ciao for now.
