It's For Me, Right?

(6:55pm) When I was at work today, my boss went this site to check it out and he said that he got bored! Excellent! Isn't that what this site is all about!? He also made comments about my "sleeping at work" crack...where the hell do you think I learned my bad habits!? Muahahaha...now, on to more serious things.

Hey, Like Some Forums?

(6:15am) Very early in the morning...too early. But, now that I have put in a forum, I will invite people to come and tell me what they think of the website. It is 6:15am and I need to shower and go to work.

Wakey Wakey...(scratch scratch)...

What The Zzzzz

I got the sleep I needed. I didn't have to do much to get it either...my body told me that I needed rest, so, I fell asleep at the computer last night and then made my way into bed by crawling across the floor. I did pause a few times here and there, but when I reached my pillow -- poof -- I was in dreamy dream land.

I feel rested this morning...! No sleeping at work anymore! ;-) Hahha.

Biking and Sleep: Combinations Love Me

Today was fairly uneventful. I woke up, I went to work and I then returned home. Much of what I did today was average everyday things. I did ride my bike to work and back, so, that was fun.

I finally can't hold out...I need to sleep a lot tonight.

What Do People Think About Me?

I was thinking this morning about what people might think of me with all my comments and posting them to the world to see. I then sat back in my red and pathetically designed computer chair and said aloud -- only so that I could prove to myself that it was truth that I spoke:

"Self," I said, "you had better have something useful and good to say."

Of course, questions occurred to me that I had not considered before. Is there anything that I have to say good enough. Am I to assume, like all those other people out there on the internet, that what I write and post is good and will somehow bring about the salvation of the world?

Probably not, but it will bring about something for me. Something for my soul to devour and relinquish the powers that hold me back. But, maybe, -- just maybe, there will be someone out there who will read these words and understand.

Maybe.

The Tugging of a Rope

Today, I took some time out of my busy schedule and was involved in a Tug of War event. I got a sunburn, and I can't believe that I forgot to bring sunscreen. What really was unfortunate was the fact we only won a single round in the three times we...well, tugged.

I found the event very interesting since there was a multitude that were actually trying to cheat! A tug of war event! Hahahah! I thought it was funny. The competitive spirit comes out in the end and we all display the desire to win.

Why don't people do this in their own lives?

Tug This

I was out today and got a sunburn while playing in a Tug of War contest with something like 20 teams. We lost...but we did win ONE game out of the many we "tugged".

But, I came home and had a great conversation with Sarah. This most stimulating conversation was had today. I had a conversation with Sarah and her main comment was: "I need to go somewhere to get something to eat." She is bad.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
