Have you ever looked at something so perfect, so utterly sublime that just knowing you know how wonderful it is makes it just that much more beautiful to behold? When words that dance so close to your lips just don’t quite make it out because you know in your heart that to even try to describe it would seem a horrible injustice to attempt such an act of profanity. The feeling of being cheated out of so much in life because here, in front of you now, is something that should have been there all your life and everything before it dulls in comparison and fills you with so much joy and sadness that your heart can barely beat from the emotional intensity. You long with every part of your body to reach out and touch it and hope beyond words that it will fill you with as much love and pleasure that your life could end at that moment when you’ve crested the pinnacle of happiness and you would be at peace forever and ever.

That’s exactly how I felt about a week ago when we took the brownies out of the oven. Oh man were they deliciouso! We get this huge box of them at Sam’s Club for like 5 bucks and it makes 3 pans of pure pleasure. You may never want other brownies again after having these bad boys. I’ve had brownies from scratch and I’ve had brownies from mixes. I’ve had brownies of all types and I’ll have you know I’ve never had anything so wonderful as these thing.

I guess you can tell by now that I have nothing really worth writing but I figured I’d share that Brownie Moment(tm) with you guys just in case you wanted to know.

“Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”

Have you ever wanted to worship something but the whole “holier than thou” or more “evil than evil” type deities available aren’t what you’re looking for? Well I know how you feel, that’s why these days I only worship the small soft and cuddliest of evil deities: Tales of Plush Cthulhu. You can find out more about him by learning his story in the previous link or by reading his Plush Cthulhu FAQ. Or if you’re wanting a more heart warming tale of a young girl discovering the truth about the Great Old One himself have a good read here: Yes, Virginia, there is a Cthulhu .

Just for fun!

If I had to say something about today it would probably be that today was just like any other day. At least on the surface… Today I went to work, sat in my cube, worked some, chatted some, worked some, surfed some, lather, rinse and repeat. What made today different? Read on and learn more!

Today was also the day I realized that I think I can be replaced with a monkey. Not just any monkey though. Only a poorly dressed, entertaining monkey with slightly asian features and a weight problem bordering on severe would fit the bill. I have a strange feeling though that that monkey wouldn’t have near as much fun as I do at work (as long as you take out the working part and just count the people). He would definately not have as swanky a game win/loss ratio as yours truly much to his dismay, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if he were able to cultivate his gaming expertise to triumph in the end.

I’m not sure why that thought occured to me today especially during one of my many joyous meetings that I look forward to attending everyday. I think it was because I have also recently purchased two books The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead. Two great books that will enable me to survive even in the most horrifying nightmares of apocalyptic proportions. Whereas you chumps will be naught but fodder for the walking dead or a vicious bear attack.

Anyhoo… After reading these books a thought that comes to me every so often is: If in fact we were to be subjected to a doomsday type scenario where we would have to live in a situation much like the aforementioned apocalyptic nightmare scenario what exactly would be a reason for someone to keep me in their new community?

A doctor I could understand. He heals people or in the case of the evil doctor he would probably know how to kill someone in such a way as to make it desireable to keep him around. An electrician could probably fix broken electronic things, or a carpenter would be making shelters or maybe a nice shelving unit to store your post-apocalyptic goods. You get the picture?

Now put yourself in world where everything is nearly destroyed your lives and future depend on your survival are at stake and the undead walk the earth there is some awful kind of radiation or plague or some other such disaster and the leader of a newly formed survival community looks at you and asks, “What makes you worth keeping around and using up our food?” And all you can say with glee in your heart is, “Well I can eat a lot of food and if you had a computer I could download porn and play games on it.”

Now that’s a story that makes you want to get the time you spent reading it back.

Well this one will be undoubtedly a short post as nothing too exciting happened today. After messing around and creating a quick and dirty banner for someone, I remembered how much I used to enjoy working with image manipulation tools and the like. Alas, much to my dismay, I rediscovered that my artistic abilities are still woefully inadequate to the task of creating masterpieces that could one day adorn beautiful webpages or desktops.

An end to the story? No! I do happen to have access to someone that has quite an eye for beauty (Being a beauty herself) and is armed with a powerful ally that goes by the name of Sony. Through her I have access to nature’s masterpieces, the flora and fauna of T-Town. Blessed be this day!

I’ve started with a cheesy attempt to help me re-learn some of the stuff I used to do with the software I have available to me.

If I do happen to get the bug again I’ll try to post some of what I consider my better things for wallpapers.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you’re driving a van on a wide bridge and its one of those movable bridges but for some reason it only allows one lane of traffic to go across while its moving and you try to get in the right lane but somehow you misjudge the turn and end up falling a long long way down to the water below but luckily you’re able to drive to safety to a small island with a set of wooden planks long enough to reach the shore and when you get back on the road you almost run in to a robotic terminator type guy thats been sent from the past to take your wallet because you had a bubble gum wrapper that was really a piece of a spell that this evil wizard with one big red flaming eyeball needs to take over the entire world of middle america?

me neither.

HAPPI HORIDAISU!!! -v- out.

This one is mainly for me and Jemal.

Look closely at the figure 2nd from the left. It might be best if you save the image and open it up in something else.

After that go here: ;WJT? and look at the second grade teachers…

Freaky, ne?

That life was more like a musical sometimes? Imagine you’re being yelled at by your boss, spouse or pimple-faced guy at the local fast food restaurant. Suddenly, the spot light hits you everything else around you goes black and from your lips comes a doleful tune about life and loss and how everything could be different.

Maybe you’re the happy sort that would prefer a big song and dance number with the whole cast belting out in perfect harmony at the top of their lungs about good times and how warm and beautiful the sun is and how it compares to life.

In either case, I personally would be very entertained most of the day if people just spontaneously burst into song. I would clap and cheer or cry and sympathize with the singer just because I think life would be a much more interesting thing with music and dance numbers.

Not that I can sing or dance mind you. In fact I would probably cause people to leave the studio mid aria and they would be muttering curses under their breaths about how they wasted their money or time and they would be very grumpy.

I guess the whole point of this is that Cyndi and I just watched Chicago and we found it quite entertaining. I wish I could recall the names of some of the better musicals I’ve seen but most of them are just fond but dim memories in my aging mind.

Although one musical that sticks out in my mind as being one of my old favorites is Bugsy Malone a bunch of kids acting like gangsters with Scott Baio in the lead no less!

Now that I think about it some more I even have the original cast recording of Miss Saigon. Another one of my favorites. You just can’t go wrong with beautiful voices singing beautiful songs. Songs about cheap vc whores and horny marines… Ahh the beauty of the stage!

..when the reason you’re up a little later than normal is cuz you’re working on something from work that you didn’t get to finish before you left and it really has nothing to do with your true job function but it can be the most fun type of work until it actually becomes work.

So anyway I spent most of the day busy working and trying to accomplish what little goals I had set for myself while at the same time to find more ways to relax while at work so I’m not too stressed out.

I started with a little music… Ahh the dulcet tones of Tatu followed by the always mellifluous Color Me Badd and to wrap it all up a sweet symphony of pleasure from Mr. Weird Al Yankovic. That all helped to keep my stress levels to a nice manageable level for at least the first 10 minutes of work or so. I also listen to George Straight, NIN and some ever soothing Green Day as my moods strike me. I also happen to be quite fond of video game music and after making a very nice purchase of “Soul Calibur 2” some time ago I thought it would be prudent and very consumerlike of me to also purchase the limited edition guide book which came with the soundtrack. All orchestral and very grand so it makes interesting listening while tryin to figure out why a server has crashed on me for the bazillionth time.

I just realized I’ve rambled on about absolutely nothing so on that note I will go lay down.

“I’ll naught but think sweet things of thee
if the same you’ll think of me…” -v-
