The Road to Hell is....

Every time I get back into the whole blog thing I say to myself,"OK. This time we'll make it work. This time I intend to stick to this and write my thoughts, current events, etc." Of course my resolve only last about as long as one or two posts, then I'm outta here again. Then the next time I promise myself, "OK this time, post something everyday, even if you have nothing to post about." Unfortunately that seems to be the gist of just about every post. It's seems ironic that part of my blogs name, "Why Am I In Here? Because I've got something to say," is a lie. I don't like lying. I really don't. So I resolve again to post something everyday in an effort to making this a habit. Then maybe something will come out that I never knew I had in me.
Someone once told me that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 21 days to break one. Thing is, can you really make this a habit? I mean aren't habits things like biting your nails, or drinking too much coffee(which I do). I can't imagine that this could become a real habit because habits are the things that when we can't do them, we go a little batty. You know? I mean I can't see myself having the DT's the next time the power goes out and I can't post anything for a few days. That I think is why not posting is an easy habit for me to have. I feel shame for making plans to post my thoughts on the web, then not having thoughts to post, and then not posting anything at all. As far as I can tell that is a habit, because every other habit I have(just about) brings me shame. I guess not the good habits, saying please and thank you, opening Kaleigh's door when we get in the car(I would open it for her to get out but she's too fast for me and one time hit me with the door.) So I guess I will just keep popping in from time to time to look around and say nothing in particular.

I will share this before I go. Yesterday we(not the royal we but Kaleigh, Little Buddy and I) went and saw the new Chris Guest movie For Your Consideration which was for the most part a good movie with a somewhat sad ending. Anyway, the part I want to talk about was the guy who came with his parents and sat behind us. I think he was somewhere between 19 and 22 years old. Not any older than that, and since I'm the only one who got a look at him K and LB aren't much help in determining his age. The thing about this guy was that when he laughed really hard, it was absurd. I mean the laugh. Not that it took something absurd to make him laugh, since sometimes he laughed for no reason at all.
I have heard some bad laughter before. Some annoying, make you want to hit something/one laughter, but this guy takes the cake. It was loud, long, and high pitched. At first I thought that it was a joke, or that the guy was making fun of people who liked the Chris Guest movies. I quickly realized that no, that was indeed the way this ridiculous boy laughed. That's when I figured out what was really going on. He was there with his parents, who love him but know that his laugh is ridiculous. They can't say anything to him because when you are a parent you can't really tell your child, "Hey, when you laugh it makes dogs commit suicide." You just can't say that sort of thing to your kid. Sooo, what do you do? Easy, take your kid to a movie where they are sure to laugh, and hopefully laugh a lot. For these parents no problem(as I have said he laughed at stuff that wasn't funny at all). Then make sure you sit near some people preferable someone like Larry David who will have the ability to turn to your child and say something like, "What's going on back there? Are you having some sort of fit? I mean seriously a laugh like that could be used as a weapon. If you ever need some information from someone and they won't speak up just take this guy in the room and make him laugh for about five minutes. There's your information end of story."
Something along those lines. The best things is as a parent you can take these opportunities to help your child. "Sweetie, don't listen to what that man said. Your laugh isn't that bad, but maybe if it would make you feel more comfortable, you could learn to laugh a little more on the inside." You can sooth the hurt feelings while getting the job done. This is what I believe the parents of this guy where trying to do, but I am no Larry David. I bet the next thing they try is to get him to start smoking. Not because they want him to get sick, but to try and deepen the sound of that laugh. Make it a lower tone so that at least bats don't attack his mouth anymore.

Huh, how about that. I had something to say after all. On that note,

On This Date In History:
November 27, 1746 marks the birth of Robert R. Livingston, jurist, statesman, and political leader of the Revolutionary period. Livingston served on numerous committees in the Continental Congress, including the one that drafted the Declaration of Independence, helped draft New York's first constitution, and served as the minister to France at the time of the Louisiana Purchase.

Oh and Little Buddy,

WHAT,WHAT!!

No Gnus is Good Gnus

I have been running over in my mind what, if anything I should blog about today. I started to think I would keep a journal of things that happened during my day, but I work on computers, what's fun about that? Of course yesterday the network went down at the high school. Took us three hours to find the problem. Not a lot of interest there. Kaleigh and little buddy suggested that I start writing stories as scripts. I thought about using this to write the screenplay for a movie I call Between The Lines. It's a story about parking lot painters. I think it could be a dark comedy. I would use this to get the buzz going, but right now it's just an idea, and ideas can be stolen. Ho hum. Time to make the donuts, and by make the donuts I mean clean the apartment before it's filled to capacity.

One more thing:
On This Date In History
On Friday, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas. At his death, the 35th president was 46 years old and had served less than three years in office. During that short time, Kennedy and his young wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, became immensely popular both at home and abroad.

I was just talking to my Father In Law about this because it's his birthday today too.

Oh and Little Buddy,

WHAT,WHAT!!

New Look for 2007

Ok so I know it's not 2007 yet, but in two days this blog will be a year old. So in keeping with the idea of upgrades and what not I'm giving this blog a face lift.

So look around. New content will be added shortly. I have to put back my links to things that I enjoy. Homestar Runner, NPR, etc. I may even add a link to my "myspace" page, but I can't right now because we have that blocked at work. Long story.

Lastly,
On This Date In History:
November 21, 1789, North Carolina ratified the Constitution to become the twelfth state in the Union. The vote came approximately two hundred years after the first white settlers arrived on the fertile Atlantic coastal plain.

How about that? Oh and Little Buddy,

WHAT,WHAT!!

One Year On The Net!!

So I started this just about a year ago.
Wow where has the time gone. I have figured out that since I started this blog I have traveled to 20 of the 50 states, and 2 of our territories (Puerto Rico and St. Croix). I am now working for a school system in St. Clair County(mentioned in an earlier Blog. Took some time but the blanket finally covered me.)
So what does the next year have in store. Well with a freshly elected Congress ready to make real changes in our country who knows. Sorry I had to make that joke.(They won't change anything, they are all members of the same country clubs and lobbyist groups people. Wake up!)
Anyway, our first thanksgiving together as man and wife is set to be busy in that we are both working part time jobs, me at Barnes and Nobles, Kaleigh at Banana Republic. However, we are both off on Thanksgiving day as it should be(Thank you Mr. Lincoln. Read a history book, you'll know what I mean.)
Well it's not long before a new year. Can you believe that 2006 is almost over? It's amazing. Looking forward to whats to come. Maybe I'll resolve to work on this blog more. Thing is, when you work on computers all day long, the last thing you end up spending your time doing is blogging. Maybe I'll start a "On This Date In History" blog filled with mundane facts that are of little use to the anyone. At least then I could get my history fix before starting a day of "No I said 'right' click."
Peace out bloggers and broseph,

"WHAT,WHAT!"
