Isn't it funny how quickly you can become dependent upon something and not even know it? With today's technological advances you become dependent on things and you don't even know it.

Well i was reminded this morning of my technological dependence when i was taking my ipod out of my coat pocket to select a playlist for the morning commute to the office. I managed to get my ipod caught on my jacket flap and i dropped it to the ground. When it hit, it busted open...

I was devestated... not really, but really. if you know what i mean. So I continued on my way to the car and went to plug in...

stop.

oh man, my ipod is busted i'll have to listen to a cd.

stop.

I moved my cd's to the apartment when i got the ipod hook up in the car.
i guess there's always radio. i hate morning radio.
i hate radio altogether, really... but that's a whole 'nother blog post.

So i drove with the radio on for about 5 minutes, and after not finding one suitable station to listen to, i drove in silence for 15 minutes to the office. where i am now sitting in silence posting to this blog wondering how i'm going to make it through the day without any music in my life...

and thinking...
i hope my cellphone doesn't die on me today

good luck trying to find a pay phone.

The October Update

Hi.
Me again.
But you knew that.

It's been awhile, but i've been keeping myself busy running late to work, leaving early and taking sick days to enjoy global warming. Topless driving on october 30th in NJ is such a rarity. but i'm doing it and i'm loving it. Tomorrow i'm calling out of work sick again because a) i wanna b) i can c) i'm the boss's son. what are they going to do, fire me?

ha.

i'm going to the race track with a buddy. he hates the world. i find it funny. And sometimes enlightening.


I took out my macro lens on sunday, and went to my mom's for coffee and breakfast. It turned into a day of hanging outside photographing my mom's dog with the "wrong" lens. but i got some good shots and had some good coffee. When i got home i took some pictures of water drops falling from he bathroom sink and was honestly surprised at some of the shots i got. i need to pick up my camera more often. but then again when i do that i just get frustrated with my shots. when i wait, and pick up the camera when i'm motivated good shots come more often.

Work sucks. Life doesn't. The way i've come to figure it is like this. if we didn't have to work we wouldn't enjoy our time off. y'know, how people say without pain you can't experience joy.

Topless driving through November?

Keep your fingers crossed for me and pray to your chosen deity.

That's funny... kinda

I get a weekly email with my "horror-scope". Usually I find it, entertaining at best... this week i find it slightly disturbing. Only because recently I've been feeling like I've been the "bad" version of myself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your first assignment is to practice feeling that everywhere you go you are standing on holy ground. Capitalize that phrase in your imagination -- "I AM STANDING ON HOLY GROUND" -- as you move through the world. Your second assignment, which may at first seem unrelated, is to kick your evil twin's ass. Do it tenderly and compassionately, with full awareness that both you and your evil twin are standing on holy ground. But don't stop kicking until you convince your evil twin to take greater responsibility for his or her personal share of the world's darkness.

Well... I guess it's time to start kicking some ass.

It's been a long time

It's been a long time since I posted anything to this blog. A little over a year. And it's probably because I'm in the same place i was a year ago, wishing i was in a mentos commercial. But then again, there have been a few changes. spent the summer going to local tracks betting on thoroughbreds, and generally loosing money but having a good time. cause i really only go for the thrill of watching the races... I also got a new phone. A helio, so don't call it a phone. (you have seen those commercials haven't you?) It's pretty cool cause it's got internet and google maps, and music and video and video ringers, and all this cool stuff that is unlimited and included in my $65 a month for 500 minutes... i know i know 500 minutes sounds like a little, but so far this month (20 days) i have used no minutes... well until today when i used 1 minute...

anyway the phone is cool but i'm always calling customer service cause weird stuff is always happening with my phone, like the mysterious new voicemail alert, then when i call, i never have actually have a voice mail... i think it's their way of trying to get me to use my minutes... ok not really.
