The Ramblings of the Semi-Sane
back in August of this year I made a stunning discovery – I had gotten fat. Not just a little pudgy, but downright FAT. I weighed 330 pounds, more than double what I weighed when I got out of High School. It really seemed like a new revelation, as if it had just suddenly happened….
Dear person with “hottie”, “babe”, or “sexy” in your email, aim, or forum username, I totally love your username. I wanted, however, just to let you in on a little-known word that might help you out in the long run: humble /huhm-buhl/ : adjective, not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful. Whereas once…
Dear Creepy Street-Corner Mime, I just want a word to explain to you why I reacted the way I did when you playfully “discovered” an invisible wall in front of me on the street the other day. I admit that kicking you in the testicles and running away screaming like a girl was an indecorous…
Hi there! I’m the guy behind you in line. We should know each other pretty well by now, considering I’ve been standing back here with my roll of Tums for about half an hour. No, please… take your time arguing with the guy at the cash register. I’m enjoying all the headlines of the magazines…
You know when they say “Order when you’re ready?” I hate to tell you of this, but they don’t really mean it. It’s code for “Start talking, asswipe.” Maybe if they could say that out loud, the job would be worth the $6.50/hour they get paid, but alas, they can’t. I know, I know, the…

So… Facebook? Is it really a place for people to argue and air their grievances? Help me to understand this…. Would you stand in the middle of the mall and scream at your sister? Engage in a full blown name-calling contest, and just act plain ignorant? I don’t think so… well, at least most people…
Okay, so most of my posts never make it to the public… they’re for me… kind of a diary… stuff I don’t feel it necessary to share with the world… someone informed me this morning that this is not the purpose of a ‘blog. So, that being determined, I’ll ramble more at the public, it’s…
Wow, a weekend to relax a bit… well, except for the wife dragging me out to shop a bit, but it’s that time of year right? It’s been long hectic week, trying to get the last of the annual reviews done for my teams, make sure I talk to everyone, etc, then came down with…
I am constantly amused at the nonsense I run across while rooting out the family tree…. Today, while chasing a few leads, looking for information, actual, factual, documented, information… I was looking for info on a McCurdy, and while searching at Ancestry.com I find a couple of trees purporting to be Barack Obama’s family tree,…
