What do YOU Love?

Here’s a funny coincidence that happened a couple of months ago. I swear, I don’t make this stuff up!!

I was sitting in the airport when an attractive young lady walked by me with a top that said: “I love my boyfriend”. I smiled to myself as this girl was well endowed well shaped very pretty [...]

Is YOUR Name Ian?

I attended a debate this evening (more on that later if I have time) and ran into one of my sisters’ friends. She was speaking to a guy when I walked up, so I politely waited. She saw me and said: “Hey Ian! How’s it going!?”

- Your name is Ian?!, said the guy who was [...]

Terrible (but Entertaining) Singing on American Idol

Yesterday and today I watched the season premiere episodes of American Idol. Yes, I watch it, but to be honest, I usually stop watching once the people make it to Hollywood. The only part of the series I find entertaining is watching the tryouts (specifically the horrible ones). In fact, it’s one of the very [...]

Five Dollars and Eight Magical Cents

“Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.“-Robert Cringley

I’ve always found this quote funny, but sad at the same time because of how accurate it is. A couple of weeks ago, [...]

Me? In a Window Office? Already?

People I know in person have been asking me how my new job has been treating me and I’m assuming some of you (readers) must be wondering the same thing. It’s going great!! I like it a lot. I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again: the team I work with is [...]
