I forgot all about my blog!  Hi blog.

I have started using the underpass to cross the highway.  It may smell unfavorably, but at least I don't run the danger of being hit every time I cross the street.

Talking to some friends last night gave me the inspiration to move in a new direction.  I have been toying with going back to school and getting a science degree of some sort.  I now feel that I am on the threshold of finding a rewarding, interesting career path...  We shall see...

Yesterday, one of my best friends was admitted to the hospital not once but twice.  The first time was for chest pain, and the second was an allergic reaction of some sort that made his lips swell to gargantuan sizes.  After communicating with him by text message until he arrived at the ER, I was dismayed that communication with him stopped.  It is scary to not know what is happening with a friend you care deeply about.  Apparently the drug cocktail he received when he was admitted put him out for a while.  He is fine and recovering at home today, but it definitely made me think about how lucky I am to have a fantastic group of caring friends in my life.

Every day I put my trust in other people as I cross the highway to go to work.  I would use the underpass to stay safer, but the homeless in the area use it for a different kind of "pass."

I have noticed a lot of articles stating that GMO's simply are not good for humans.  Why, then, do we continue to 1) Make them, 2) Produce them and 3) Eat them?  Hmmm...

I don't want kids.  Never have, really.  I thought I did when I was teenager.  Looking back, however, I can see that this was largely because I didn't feel loved at the time.  I see a lot of women having kids or wanting kids for just this reason.

I have decided to start blogging.  For me.  I don't care if anyone reads it.  I am going to keep this blog open all day at work, and while I am on the computer at home.  When thoughts come to me, I will write them down.  I don't want to be so candid on other forums such as FB and Google+, so this is my random thought place.

I have been thinking for some time now that I would like to have a career dealing with computers.  I spend enough time on them...  When I look at all that is involved in a computer career, however, it just makes me tired inside.

I had a revelation yesterday.  The reason I don't care for my current job is that I don't care to clean up after other people.  The same is true in my home.  When I clean, I do so to KEEP it clean.  If I know some slob is going to come in two seconds later and spread their filth, I will not clean.  The same goes for work.  I will spend a good amount of time on a project, and then pass the information on to my co-workers (who could give a rat's ass, let's be honest,) and two seconds later my carefully orchestrated work is in the shitter.  I don't want to clean up after people anymore!

Why are all the cute and good men taken?  Why are the rest assholes?

I have been reading and re-reading a book called "Feel the Fear...  And Do It Anyway!"  I am now saying, "YES!" to my universe.

I am not a forward planner.  When I make future plans, I always think, "What if I'm tired?" or "What if a better opportunity to have fun comes along?"  Very rarely is this the case, but this is what prevents me from planning future events.  That, and a love of being at home near my bed...

A note to women:  Speaking in a baby voice does not make you "cute" or make me want to help you.  What it DOES do is make me want to put my shoe where your face is...

Dear Asian peoples (others as well.)  When you go by 400 different names, it tends to confuse us Americans.  Please keep it simple!!!

So.  I really want a new Android phone with more memory...  It looks like some good ones are coming out.  Samsung Galaxy may be the one to hold out for.  It will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.  How cute is that?
