Oops!

In the sad, overpopulated history of bad ideas, where do you think this one ranks??

Very nice, let's commemorate our fallen troops by playing the solemn dirge "Stayin' Alive". Well thought out! Not only that but they went ahead and made it two for two by following up with "You Should be Dancin'".

What was "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" not available? Were the royalties for "Dead Man's Party" too much to pay?

You always return to your Dark Master.

Early night from school tonight, just a final exam and go home, gotta love it.

This marks my second day back sucking from the sweet teat of Starbucks. Lately I've been getting up too late to make coffee so for two weeks I have gone without my morning jolt.

My co-workers have noted a palpable difference.

"Jeez Rob, you look like you're really on edge", one of them noted. I slowed my brain down and took a quick self-check. Eyes darting rapidly, sentences slurred, mind unable to hold focus, leg extra jumpy like Thumper on a meth binge...and yet it was the most productive I had been in a while.

"Just got alot of stuff on my mind", I mumbled. "Very busy". Which I was.

Now common sense, which is hard to come by these days, dictates that when your actions cause you to look like you're about to stroke out, it's probably best to change your ways.

But I know it's temporary, all it takes is the first couple of hits and everything will smooth itself out.

Well this is disappointing

Journey to the Darth Side

This is a scream. Apparantly Darth Vader has his own blog. Very funny and surprisingly poignant material. Check it out!

Back for now

Hey there, just going to give this another go. It's been a little more than a year since I shut down TPB, I was really burned out and a lot of things were going on in my life where I just couldn't post consistently.

Not that I ran out of things to say...those who know me can attest to this.

So what's new? Well a career change for one. When I last posted I was quite disgruntled and a little depressed about my work situation. After two years of recruiting for a large bank, they eliminated my position and sent me to the slave galleys of customer service where I had to endure the constant whines of the irresponsible. That's fine I guess, I was good at what I did and it was a paycheck...but not much else.

Now things are a bit happier, I am a recruiter for the northeast region of a large company (no names though...don't want to get dooced) and am traveling regulary to the east coast to fulfill my duties. I'm almost done with my stuudies and should be getting my diploma mid-2006.

Karlene, J & C remain the loves of my life along with another little buddy on the way. To quote the great philosopher Joe Walsh, life's been good to me so far.

So here we go. Time to give this another shot. Let's see what madness ensues...
