Um. Facebook is Stupid

So I naturally have a page. I didn't mean too. Honest. But I was bored in a training class last week and one thing lead to another and well there you go. I'm not proud. So instead of admitting my mistakes, did I just let the page wither and die? No I added a whole bunch of stuff to it and check it 3 or 4 times a day. What in the hell is wrong with me?

My friend r0n would say that I'm gay. But that's pretty much his answer whenever I ask that question.

I have 11 friends now on Facebook. Mostly made up of people that I know from work and a few relatives. And my wife. It's not the most happening page on the intertubes by far (nor is this one for that matter) but it kills a couple of minutes at a time. And really, isn't that something that we all need more of?

I'm pissed

I've been waiting to get a Wii Fit. I didn't pre-order one from Amazon because I thought that I would have no problem getting one. I was wrong.

So I searched and finally last night, I was in Best Buy and they had 2! WOOT, I was so pumped to get it home and when I got it hooked up it won't sync. Over and over again the fucking thing blinks at me. I pushed the button on the balance board and the button on the Wii.

BLINK

BLINK

BLINK

It took all I had not to throw the thing on the floor.

So maybe it's the batteries. Out I go to CVS at 9:50, in the rain to get new batteries.

Get home with 8 AA duracell batteries. The HIGH POWERED ones especially made for electronics. (What a crock) Put the batteries into the balance board and the board said, "Fuck you."

Didn't even turn on.

I didn't even get a courtesy blink.

I just got bent over the coach and reamed.

Fucking electronics.

We also bought a new dishwasher last night, what are the chances that the guy hooks it up on Friday and it spews water and suds all over the house on Saturday?

Pretty good if you ask me.

I love Will Ferrel

23 days until 40

My 40th birthday is coming up. In 23 days to be precise, hence the title.

This picture to the right shows you how cool I am. Or was anyway. Replace the Atari with a Commodore 64 and you'll know what my desk in my bedroom looked like 25 years ago.

Yeah, that's a tape drive on the shelf below printer. And I would kill to have those Return of the Jedi glasses back.

Break up the ORIOLES!

WOOHOO!!!!

The Birds are in first place!!!


What? It's only April 7th? Screw you, I'm enjoying this.

New Game

Frisky Dingo came into my lab today and I challenged him to kick a box that had house some odd computer part from the floor onto his head. I figured it would be an easy trick, he's pretty handy with a soccer ball. After three increasingly funny attempts he gave up and when I pointed out where he was going wrong, he kicked the box at me.

Game over...

Work is fun.

Tragedy

I don't like reading about stuff like this. It tears me up inside. But when it's on the front page of the Baltimore Sun, you can't miss it. Then you can not not read it.

3 children killed at city hotel
Father expected to be charged; family in custody fight

So I read the article. If I were a police officer and I was the first person on this scene:

The bodies were discovered after the man called hotel security about 1:15 p.m. from his 10th-floor room at the Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards, saying that he had killed his children and was considering harming himself, said Officer Troy Harris, a city police spokesman.

I would've harmed him. Hell who am I kidding? I would have shot him in the fucking head.

What a way to start your week.
