Technologically challenged

now this is a man who understands technology, loves it in fact. sometimes i feel like this at work.

so apparently i am the only one who couldn't figure out how to continue using my old blog and thus created this new one. i sit in front of a computer all day, one would think i would understand it and its inner workings. not to mention that i'm part of the technology generation, these things shouldn't escape my understanding. i feel like i may be losing brain cells due to lack of brain use, looks like technology is the first understanding that is leaving.

oh well, what is done is done and this is my new blog and i'm not even sure it matters as i don't think anyone reads it anyway.

Doubtful

I've said before that song lyrics often say it all.

Here is another one. It's fairly self-explainatory, I just feel like this sometimes. I'm sure we can all relate.

This is also a tribute to the soon to be no more Nickel Creek, yes, you read right.

Doubting Thomas ~ Nickel Creek

what will be left when i've drawn my last breath,
besides the folks i've met and the folks who know me,
will i discover a soul cleansing love,
or just the dirt above and below me,
i'm a doubting thomas,
i took a promise,
but i don't know what's safe,
oh me of little faith,

sometimes i pray for a slap in the face,
then i beg to be spared 'cause i'm a coward,
if there's a master of death i'll bet he's holding his breath,
as i show the blind and tell the deaf about his power,
i'm a doubting thomas,
i can't keep my promises,
'cause i don't know what's safe,
oh me of little faith

can i be used to help others find truth,
when i'm scared i'll find proof that its a lie,
can i be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
that prove i'm not ready to die,

please give me time to decipher the signs,
please forgive me for time that i've wasted,

New Profession

I know what I want to do with my life! I want to be an undercover cop!

Let me give you some background, NC drivers are nuts! (My apologies to my NC friends, but I have only witnessed such behavior here) Put some of these people in a car and they lose their minds. I have also never been one to use the horn, but sometimes it is necessary. I know we are living in a fast paced society, but these people are ridiculous!

2 classic examples:

#1 - I'm sitting at a stop light in Raleigh, I'm on the line, first one, when all of a sudden this car comes out of line, drives up the RIGHT turning lane and proceeds to start cutting me off at the light. So, being a novice horn blower, I blew my horn, b/c who does this?! Well the light turns green and they totally cut me off, so I laid on my horn this time and they waved their hand out the window like I was supposed to let them do that! I'm sorry but unless you have a flashing light, a siren or you are holding you left leg in your right hand that is ILLEGAL!

#2 - Again I'm sitting at a traffic light in Sanford and I am the first person when from behind me comes this car, he turns right, right into the road with the green light and then makes a right turn. MY light turns green and happen to go the same direction as this guy, yeah, he's peeling into the parking lot of a shopping center with an Eckerd, a dry cleaner. and a pizza restaurant. So necessary for him to do that, again ILLEGAL!!

what are these people thinking? Really, you just did that?

missed opportunity

i missed the triathlon this morning...overslept.....DANG IT!

there goes the "1 triathlon a month" goal.

this picture is kind of hilarious, any takers on this poster for their room? however it does convey how i felt this morning when i FAILED to get up on time.

oh well, you win some you lose some.

changes

so apparently blogger has decided to change itself with a lot of technical stuff i don't understand thus forcing, i mean forcing me to create a whole new blog. stupid. so here's my new blog.

guess it's not that bad...the name comes from a quote i found on someone's facebook profile that i didn't know, but found b/c i was bored at work.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

i already forgot my original intent of blogging today. but i think i'm going to try to do a better job of updating more often, less talk. considering the work flow lately, shouldn't be too hard. check back and leave comments, they make me happy! :)
