I'm a socially inept butterfly!
I have this blog that I really enjoy, I've got the Facebook goin' on and now I've joined the twitter.
This is the kind of thing that happens when you give an introvert the ability to bypass social norms. He tries to shove his opinions and sense of humor down everyone's throat as much as possible.
Luckily I'm not like that.... HA!
Anyway, I decided I don't wanna bitch about the weather today, because that's been done to death. I'm pretty sure I don't want to complain about work either. So Instead of complaining, here's a list of fun things to do.
1.) Start a midget sled team. Their stride may be short, but they have stamina.
2.) Go to a fast food resturaunt, order the biggest, calorie laden meal possible, then make fun of the person at the window for being fat.
3.) Go to a bank and take hostages..... on a field trip. Bowling or mini golf is always a big hit.
4.) Donate blood. Then, 30 minutes after you're done, go back to the blood bank and tell them you're having second thoughts and want it back.
5.) Build a paper mache pipe bomb filled with confetti. The bomb squad will appreciate your sense of humor.
6.) Start an Asian specific tour group with a "No Photography" Policy.
7.) Go to hot topic and ask if they have anything in black.
8.) Open a bed and breakfast that only serves lunch and very loosely interprets it's "beds".
9.) Dress up like Slenderman and feed the ducks at your local park.
10.) Finally, Climb a clock tower and go on a shooting spree with a nerf gun and bottle rockets.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to act stupid.

Nostaligia is fun
Watch "Child of the 90s | Internet Explorer" on YouTube
Of course I remember you, Internet Explorer. I left Netscape Navigator for you. You were so rad, It felt like we would be together forever.
But look at you now. Your all slow and tempermental, and you mock me everywhere I go. You've changed.
I went out with a fox for a little while, but she let me down, so I'm moving on to a shiny new browser with a foreign sounding name.
I just didn't want to sneak around behind your back anymore. You deserve at least that after all these years.

Progress and Cheese
So I am going to attempt to do some reviews, bring in more Gentelman Shark and things of that nature, and find as many odd things as I can to relate to you. And it begins right now.
STOP THE PRESSES!!
OSLO, Norway (AP) - A road tunnel in Norway will be shut for several weeks after a 27-ton truckload of sweet goats milk cheese caught fire.
Regional traffic department chief Geir Jorgensen says flames engulfed the tunnel last week and gases from the melting, brown load hindered firefighters. It took four days to put it out.
The driver was not hurt and no other vehicles were in the 3.6-kilometer (2.2-mile) tunnel at the time.
Joergensen said Wednesday that the tunnel near the small Arctic municipality of Tysfjord, some 1,350 kilometers (840 miles) north of the capital, Oslo, likely will be closed for two more weeks.
Goat's milk cheese, a sweet delicacy with a high sugar and fat content, is an essential part of many Norwegians' daily diet.
Now, I'm not sure which part of this story is funnier. The fact that these poor rural Norwegians will have to smell burnt cheese in that tunnel for years to come or that the person who reported this for AP actually used the phrase "gases from the melting, brown load hindered firefighters."

Truer words were never written
I had to spread this around to blogger, because his is the model I strive to emulate. It's always good to have unattainable goals

Being sick on a Monday....
Yeah, It's no good. I'm in surprisingly good spirits though, despite all the crap. Could be because I have a few things to look forward to this week. I have a new book I'm excited to start reading and some new ideas on how to restructure my book to make it more readable.
I'm still trying to figure out who the antagonist of my story is supposed to be though. I have an idea of his/her abilities, but no real feeling for the character itself. It's hard for me to pin it down in my mind and that has been one of the biggest roadblocks to the progress of my story. By the way, the preface of the story I am referring was posted earlier in this blog ( This will take you there ) so you can get the general idea of what I'm writing if you want, though I imagine even that is going to change quite a bit after my restructuring. The idea will remain the same, however.
Anyway, I just need to keep plugging on through both my Monday and my story or nothing will get done I suppose, so stop distracting me and go back to whatever you're all supposed to be doing! Don't you have anything better to do?!

Alright, lets get serious
Nah, I'm just screwin' with ya. I'm gonna keep doin the same crazy crap as I did before, but just more of it.
Anyway, it's a New Year and that, of course, means a whole bunch of new crap happening and at least two months of scratching out that last 2 of 2012 on everything you write.
First big news for me this year is A Memory of Light, the last book in the Wheel of Time series comes out tomorrow. Very big deal for a geeky fellow such as myself.
Also though there is a series of ebooks launching this month that covers all 11 Doctors from Doctor Who. I'm interested to see what they are like as well. They will be written by childrens book authors, and while that doesn't mean they are going to suck or anything, it still makes me a bit wary.
Well, not too bad a post to get the year started. More to come, you can be certain.
