Did you know that ZIP in ZIP code stands for Zone Improvement Plan? I had no idea. I love it when I learn something new.

6/28/2005 - Damn voice recognition software

So . . . This morning I am on the phone working on some billing issues with AOL, and luckily I get to work with the automated voice recognition service. OMG, that crap is just so amazingly annoying to deal with. I don't have much of an accent, but for those people who do have an accent, god help them. I have absolutely no patience for that crap. I sit and wonder what is going on with this world today that I can't speak to an actual person? At least when I call Geico I get a person (they might be aliens, but at least they acknowledge my existence).

6/26/2005 - Crazy Story

I figure since I haven't spoken to this person in at least a year or so, i'm pretty safe that she won't visit my site. So, here it goes

I was thinking about a girl that I used to hang out with, and how cool she was. You ever meet someone, and then they just seem like totally awesome off the bat? Yeah, she was kinda like this. Then all of a sudden you realize it was all a front, or she ends up being totally crazy? Yeah, it was exactly like that.

We were sitting watching a movie, and she was telling me what she wanted to do with her life. I said, that's pretty cool. You're also a good looking girl, so it may make it a little easier to get into that kind of position (she wanted to be on TV). Well, at that point is where the horns came out, and I realized how psycho she really was. Her response was simply, you know, I hate it when people say that to me. I want the job because I am qualified not because somebody looks good. So, at this point I am totally freaked out, and kinda scared. Not sure what to do. My best thought was change the subject and all will be cool. Thank god it worked.

The point of that story is a simple one. Unfortunately, the way the world works is the people who look the best usually get things given to them a little easier. Not just the way they look, but how they dress and how they act also make a big impact.

So, if you are sitting around wondering why you are always used as some kind of doormat at the workplace. Maybe just try changing your attitude, and appearance. Things will change.

6/21/2005 - Lake Tahoe

I just finished booking everything for Lake Tahoe today. It's going to be an awesome weekend at the mountains for July 4th. Just like last year. I'll be sure to have pictures ready for when I get back home.

On top of that, I was teaching flash last week and thought about a little project that seemed like it would be pretty fun. And I was right. I built a '360º' flash movie. Let me know what you think, and how kickass I am.

6/13/2005 - Bad Movies

There is only one thing in this world that can make a terrible movie into a decent movie. A lesbian (or a good looking bi-sexual female). This past weekend I saw a movie called high tension. Decent on the suspense end, but like I said earlier, the only thing that really made this movie was the semi cute lesbian.

Beyond that I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Sunday. This movie was actually quite excellent. Great action, and very funny. Must see. Didn't have any lesbian or bi-sexual scenes, but go see it anyway. It was wicked awesome.

6/10/2005 - Good Day

It's been a really good day so far, and it's only 11:30am. Day started going to see my awesome doctor Paris. After the doctor I went to go get my haircut with probably the most determined person I have seen in a long time. She's got a heart of gold, and she's really cute too.

I dropped a business card in her drawer if she needs any computer help. I think she'll be just fine without me, she's a bright girl.

Time to get back to work.

6/6/2005 - Sony

So, today I end up heading out to the computer stores to price out a new laptop. After about an hour or two of searching I eventually found a Sony Vaio that was looking pretty sweet. If you are interested, check out the link below.

6/1/2005 - June is here

It's June 1st. The weather is awesome. And I am starting to embark on the last leg of my Stonybrook Survey project. I should be able to get through this area of it, in a few days.

I've also just purchased my flight for Tahoe over the 4th of July weekend. It would have cost me a few hundred less, if I were to do it a month ago. It happens.

I go get back to work now. Damien's birthday is on Friday, I think we'll be doing something on Saturday night for him.


Amusing Blonde Joke

Homer, a handsome guy, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM.

He sat down next to this blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV.

The 10:00 news was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.

The blonde looked at Homer and said, "Do you think he'll jump?" Homer says,"You know, I bet he'll jump." The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Homer placed $20 on the bar and said, "You're on!" Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset and handed her $20 to Homer, saying, "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Homer replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump." The blonde replies, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."

Homer took the money.......
