Reality Me

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

  • Feeding Frenzy

    I awake at 4am and suddenly all the animals think, "Yea! New feeding time!"

  • Tron…now!

    I’ve been watching Zero Motorcycles since 2008. I’m jonesing for EV motorcycle in a bad way and this video didn’t help diminish my desires. Matter of fact, I’m wanting one more than ever now!

  • 34 years ago it blew

    My problem with this photograph is that I remember the event vividly. Somewhere, I probably still have my baggie of Mt. St. Helens’ ash. Yes, it was a thing. Everyone wanted some of the ash floating around the world. But my problem is that I remember. And it was damned 34 years ago! *blink* *blink*

    34 years ago Mt St Helens erupted and drastically changed the surrounding landscape. Here’s how the blast zone currently looks

    In other troubling anniversaries, the Rubik’s cube is 40 years old. See also Google’s Interactive Doodle. (My record time for solving it was 25 seconds)

  • Last week of school

    This week represents the last 2 and a half days of school for Knox County students. So naturally they are working hard to prepare the students for their rising grade by showing them 2.5 days of movies, video games, and socializing.

    I would love to see 2.5 days of fine tuning study skills, personal time management, and lateral thinking puzzles.

    That said, drivers be alert. You are about to see children in places at times you don’t expect them.

  • Sunday! A day of rest…scratch that…a day of work.

    Today is Sunday. The weather is cool. What a beautiful day to work on the yard, stake tomatoes, finish hole 2 of the miniature golf (yes, we are building one of those in the yard), and work on the Jeep. I toyed with sleeping in but the animals would have none of that (Feed us! Let us outside! Get up!). Thus far, I have taken my son to work, read a book, and done some planning with the wife. Now listening to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones radio station on Pandora. Just finished listening to Save Ferris‘ The World Is New. Now listening to Buck-O-Nine‘s My Town. Let’s try to get some client work completed.

  • From the mouths of babes

    Last night I asked my son if the dogs had enough food for this morning. This word "yes" I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

  • Of Being Dad

    For the briefest of moments, I believed I was a stay-at-home dad then the dream was shattered.

  • Need two more days vacation

    The parts of my body I would trade to sleep in today would make a very long list.

  • Of Being Dad

    First words uttered after returning home from sending the 8 year old to school? "Drug the dog"

  • My submission for Dad of the Year

    "Stop fighting, Goddammit!"

  • State of Me

    I feel like an ass.

  • Sleep is the worst

    Chronic stress means waking up more tired than when you fell asleep.

  • I’m Hercules!

    Family – what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
    (They’ll get me eventually…)

  • Starting the day

    Some people begin their day with "Goodmorning!" I quite prefer "Goddamned cat!"
