Holy frak. I actually put it in today. No turning back, right? @_@
The time is coming soon… getting nervous and excited. Lots of things to get done first!
Robbing The Bank Is Out Of The Question
Personal December 19th, 2008
I decided to make a “Waste $1,000,000 On Whatever You Want” List. Rules are:
Spend it only on yourself.Had to cut that one out. It’s really hard to spend that much and not share the wealth.- You have to spend it all, no putting it away in savings.
- No investments or starting/buying a business.
- No buying long term big ticket items (like a house/car).
- Don’t worry about taxes. This is all post-tax money.
Here we go:
- Donate a quarter of that to charities. Who shall all compete for the money in a race around the world using only hot air balloons. haha, nah, jk. But I would probably donate large chunks to CBLDF, Child’s Play, National Alliance to End Homelessness, and BCRF.
- Some donations to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Shedd Aquarium.
- A little “incentive” donation to Mr. Martin to finish up Dance of Dragons. ^_^
- Markers and art supplies to try and get back into my artistic roots.
- A totally pimped out, awesome computer.
- A pet hedgehog!
- Lots of awesome new clothes.
- Plenty of DVDs and video games (I will also be looking to get an old school NES and probably a Virtual Boy for the hell of it)
- Motorcycle. No, not that one. This one. And this isn’t a car, so it’s good.
- Skydiving!
- Blow the rest away on weekends (with my friends, on me!) in DC, Las Vegas, New York City, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, and if we have time, all of the hot spots in Europe.
Now if only I came into that much money instantly…
It Was “Spongebob Squarepants” Themed
Dating, Personal December 14th, 2008
A long time ago, I found out this girl I went out with had a kid. She had texted me that she was having a birthday party for her son. I texted back that I hope her son has a fun party and haven’t talked to her since. To be honest, I was kind of put off. But now, I’m asking myself, “Why did I instantly not like her when I found out that she has a kid?”
I ran through all kinds of excuses: “I’m not interested in becoming a father.” “I don’t want to be involved with a kid right now.” “The kid will be a major distraction.” “I’m afraid of becoming just some kind of monetary support.” “She must have some issues if she’s no longer with the dad.”
And now, I feel guilty for thinking those things. I had a lot of prejudiced ideas. But really, there’s nothing wrong with a single mother wanting to date. There could be all sorts of circumstances behind there not being a father, and I should really learn more about her and what happened before blowing her off. I need to stop looking for ulterior motives when there aren’t any. And it’s not like we’re looking for something long term here (at least I hope that’s the case). So why not have some fun together?
And who knows… down the line, when I’m ready to have a family, I’m not against marrying someone who already has kids. I’m in a step-family, and it’s been good. I consider them part of my real family. I think it’s horrible what kids go through when parents go through a divorce (been through it myself, but that’s not what I want to get into now). It can be just as hard for them to accept someone else in their lives that might seem like they’re intruding in private territory they have no business being in. But if the step-parent truly loves your mom/dad AND you, then it works. I’m no expert in making step-families a success, and it’s not without its bumps and clashes, but when everyone respects one another, you could be getting some of the best people ever being a part of your life. Why pass on a chance like that?
How to Poop at Work
Internet December 10th, 2008
Oh, tumblr. You’re awesome. Because you provide me with entertainment, distractions, and informative posts like this (reblogged from lacey):
How to Poop at Work
We’ve all been there but don’t like to admit it. We’ve all kicked back in
our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we
try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those
who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump
at work.*CROP DUSTING* When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the
smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff, but doesn’t know
where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full
fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has
left your pants.*FLY BY* The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and
check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come
back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become
suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.*ESCAPEE* A fart that slips out while taking a pee or forcing a poop in a
stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you
release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you
are a man and are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did
not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved.
Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.*JAILBREAK* When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun
pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this
should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the
bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.*COURTESY FLUSH* The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits
the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the
bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.*WALK OF SHAME* Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you
have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if
someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that
the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.*OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER* A colleague who poops at work and is Doggone
proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the
bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look around
the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.*THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N)* A group of co-workers who band
together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group
can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and
identify SAFE HAVENS.*SAFE HAVENS* A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can
least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite
sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the
bathroom.*TURD BURGLAR* Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and
tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and
vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this
occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will
avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.*CAMO-COUGH* A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom
that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to
alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with
a SHIRLEY TEMPLE.*SHIRLEY TEMPLE* A subtle toe-tapping that is used to alert potential Turd
Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doub
Obviously cut off… but it’s still freakin’ hilarious. I tried not to laugh so loud at work. I also gots a tumblr you can check out, btw.
I Play For Hours Late Into the Night
Gaming December 9th, 2008
I have a post in the making for Fallout 3. I’ll probably put it up once I finish the main story. Right now I just made it Rivet City. The game is kind of addicting… it’s similar to WoW in that you do quests, level up, and look for equipment and cool items and such. Just no multiplayer aspect to it. I also like the amount of blood and gore; it’s so sweet and satisfying to blow off people’s heads with my combat shotgun in slow motion. Also, it’s wrong, but hilariously funny and kind of fun being a slaver… it’s like, “Gotta Catch ‘Em All!” but with humans! hahaha… so wrong.
