OK, no posting in five months. So I suck. However, a change of attitude, positive thinking, yada yada, and I will start writing/blogging again. It's time to face reality. I need to do this. Deep breath and off we go...
So this blog won't be specifically about retail anymore, though I know that it'll creep in there often enough. I am mostly doing this for practice, so that I can get my ass into gear & start writing again. Now I'm like the rest of America, random thoughts are my friends.
On a side note, the contestants on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader are extremely annoying. Why must we put stupid people on tv? I love the trivia questions, and I know I'm smarter than a 5th Grader. Usually. But what does this show tell us about the state of the American educational system? Really, shouldn't we remember basic information gleamed in our early schooling? Now some of the "upper" grade questions can be more, uh, specific, so I understand if you hated, say, history, why you might not know, but simple 1st & 2nd grade questions? Come on! People, u is stupid. And don't even get me started on the idiots who can't spell. And grammar. We need to bring back diagramming sentences. Granted, I'm a linguistics nut, but knowing rudimentary language skills, what's wrong with that?
Anyway, I've moved recently. The plus, my new job has me near the ocean. Oh dear sweet and merciful spiritual entities, do I love being near the ocean. I love the ocean. The water is amazing. It literally calms my soul when I'm ready to commit 14 types of felonies on customers. I didn't realize how much I've missed being close to a large body of water. Growing up on a Great Lake, I took it for granted. I rowed in HS and it was the best part of my day. Now, I get to go out and soak it in (ha).
The bad news is now I live in South Jersey. My apologies go out to all the natives, but I'm having flashbacks to where I was born. And I left for a reason. This area is fine for what it is, but I really miss living in Philly. My next move will be back to a large city. Chicago, DC, or back to Philly. But I don't want to be here. Sigh. Or maybe I can get my act together and move overseas again. That would be nice. Berlin maybe. Stockholm... I do love snow. Yeah. Ok.
Well, I have rediscovered my love of David Boreanaz. Hello salty goodness! So, now I'm DVRing repeats of Angel and Bones. Love him & love DVRs! How did I survive without it? I can't wait until next week when TNT is repeating Smile Time. OMFG! Not only is there Angel, there's an Angel puppet and it totally vamps out. Youtube has a bunch of clips. Wee little puppet man. Hee.
Well, here's to more blogging!
