“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
- Dr. Seuss, Oh, the places you’ll go!
Just as the good doctor says, only you can tell the places you’ll go. This fall brings for me that event that almost every high school (the musical?) graduate loves or loathes: the 10 year high school reunion. Plans have been made, R’s have been SVP’d, and I’m not part of them. But the thought of where we’ve all gone in the last 10 years got me thinking.

(or, damned to hell part II)
Ah, yes, Cain really had it come’n to him. Having readily dispatched Abel for arguably poor reasons, Cain was getting ready to have his ass handed to him by the lord-someone’s-god. A voice from on high: “Hey, Abel, where’s your brother?” Simple enough, but Cain had to be a smart ass in his response thus giving us the “Am I my brother’s keeper?” colloquialism which still lives on today.

Normally, when someone tells me I’m going to hell, I have a pretty (damn) good idea why they’re telling me to go visit Beelzebub. The majority of the times it has actually been said with some genuine concern for my well-being in the spiritual sense, and not so much meant as an insult. But when it does happen as an insult (which doesn’t happen that often, really) I take it as an event of import and tend to take note of the reasons why. This time, however, I have absolutely no idea what is going on…

I get frustrated by the tiniest of problems. This mornings issue is with Microsoft Outlook and the way the messages it sends get formatted by other recipients. I can’t stand the extra line breaks that I see in GMail/Live/Hotmail when I send messages from Outlook 2007.

…and a little bit of that. A post full of randomness…

There’s nothing quite like a new pair of socks. I think the only comparable feeling to sliding into a fresh pair of never-been-worn socks is that of sliding into freshly-laundered sheets. Especially new hiking socks… man, buy me a pair of Smart Wool and you’ve made me one hell of a happy guy. But as I was folding socks tonight I realized that might have a problem. I have more socks than one man ought to have.

I promised I’d post up a picture of the painting I got in Prague once I got it framed & hung:
Many thanks to Greg for pointing me to the artist, and mom & Sue for the framing advice. Having pictures on the wall almost makes this place feel like home!
I’ve been back from NYC for a week, so I figure it’s about time I post up my pictures and write a lil bloggy blog about it.

Holy Crap! How did I miss this until now! Something amazing happened during the WGA writer’s strike, and that something amazing was Dr. Horrible! Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, c’mon people you should know this man) writes a 3 part musical for NPH… but act fast, because I hear that after July 20th you’ll have to pay to watch it. I’m already in the midst of act II…
