Death by Cellphone

I don't smoke, but after reading this article , maybe I'm doing something just as bad for my heath. Using my cellphone still hurts my head. I'm afraid that when I go get a physical checkup, my doctor will tell me I have a terminal brain tumor and die within the year. Yea, I'm such the pessimist. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you .

Farewell 2006!

People do strange things. On the one day in the year when I have a valid excuse to stay up all night, I left a party early and came home to sleep. My parents are out partying, my sister is out partying, but I came home to get some down time. I think I'm officially old, who the heck sleeps before midnight on new year's eve? I wish I didn't have to tire myself out so much these past few week, but I really have no choice. It's all over soon though, no matter how crappy things turn out, at least I'll be able to relax and find myself again. Ok, old man has to hit the sack now. Farewell 2006, I'll miss you much.

Great ... I Write Like a Woman!

I stumbled upon this website that tries to guess which gender you are depending on a writing sample you submit. It's supposedly based on an algorithm developed by a very intelligent Israeli researcher who have worked years studying empirical data. Frankly, I think it's a piece of junk, because it tells me that I write like a woman ... not that there's anything wrong with writing like a woman of course, but I'm a MAN! As you guys probably know, I've been spending every waking hour writing these lovely essays for the past couple weeks. When I put my writing samples for testing, it almost always comes back telling me I'm a woman! I took a couple blog entries and still ... it tells me that I write like a woman. It's ok though, I felt a lot better after submitting some writing samples from famous people. Robert Frost's famous poem says that he's a woman too. John Donne - he's a woman too. Even my extreme-sledding buddy Matt is a woman. Hmm ...

I'm Losing my Mind ...

Stumble into the office at 8:30am Wanted to drink tea Loaded the green tea pod into the coffee machine Pressed the brew button Walked to my desk and took off my coat Walked back to the machine Looked for my tea IT'S NOT THERE "who stole my tea?!?!?" Tried to find the evil culprit Looked for my tea again Realized I never put a cup to catch the tea "DOH! That was really stupid!"

Priorities

This is what I've been struggling with for the past month ...

My Christmas Wish

This has got to be the coolest idea ever! I admit that it's not entirely original, as we've seen this in countless futuristic movies before. But to be fair, if KZ can actually pull it off, it would be amazing. I think I would want to move there and eat some goat cheese ... ehh ... maybe not. So, for those of you who are in the business of fulfilling Christmas wishes. That won't be you, Santa, because I know you're not real, which means you probably won't be really this anyway. ... all I really want for Christmas is that we have this dome thing cover the 5-mile radius around my house. That's not too big of a wish, is it? I think I've been good this year. Well, if this summer dome thing is possible, then wouldn't they be able to do a winter dome where they reflect most of the heat from sunlight and make an ever-winter-land? Sounds like a wonderful idea to me. Think about it, one hour you could be snowboarding down the mountain and then the next h...

Stuffing Your Car

In light of recent events , I have decided to stock up my car in case of an emergency. Here are some things I plan to buy for my car: 1) A lighter - just in case I need to start a fire 2) Map & Compass - I'll keep going south until I get out of the cold 3) Bottles of water - Wouldn't want to die from thirst 4) Protein bars - yummy and tons of energy 5) Flares - if I don't use it for an emergency signal, it'll be used to kill bears 6) Candles - i'm afraid of the dark (ok not really) 7) An axe - so I can chop down trees and have firewood 8) A blanket - buuuurrrr i hate the cold 9) A big sword - just in case other animals attack 10) A whistle - so people will know where I am OK I think that's enough for now. Am I missing anything?
