WHY I LOVE READING COMIC-BOOKS ON MY IPAD
Yes, I’m a grown man who still reads comic-books. Shut up. A couple of years back I wrote about reading ebooks in WHY I LOVE MY AMAZON KINDLE. Since then, I have received an iPad, and I’ve downloaded the Kindle App, so now I read my books on my iPad instead. I still have my […]
JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY
February 18, 2013
Man, what a day. Glad for this one to be over. Even though it’s President’s Day, I still had to work. We only get off the days that Fed Ex and UPS take off, but since they were still operating today, so were we. It was pretty busy @ work, orders just kept coming non-stop. […]
OCULAR HYPERTENSION
February 13, 2013
What Is Ocular Hypertension? Eye pressure is expressed in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), the same unit of measurement used in weather barometers. While normal eye pressure has historically been considered a measurement of less than 21 mm Hg, this normal “normal” upper limit may vary in different populations. Ocular hypertension is not the same […]
JURY DUTY
February 2, 2013
One of my coworkers got drafted for Jury Duty last week. Poor girl. I’ve gone in for Jury Duty twice, and now I just ignore the early questionaires that they send. It’s not like they send them via registered mail, so they can’t prove that I got it. Yes, I know it’s my “civic duty” […]
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
January 14, 2013
First, before I say anything else, let me once again reiterate that I do feel fortunate that I have a decent, steady job, unlike far too many people these days, so I know I shouldn’t really complain. But, man, this has been rough the past week. Starting last Wednesday we had to do our annual […]
2012 in review
December 30, 2012
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 9,500 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 16 years to get […]
WORKING FOR A LIVING
December 28, 2012
As I’ve written about before, I mostly like my job. I work as a shipper in a warehouse, for a good company, with a good boss, and mostly good coworkers. The only downside is that I’m pretty much on my feet all day long, which gets less easier as I get older. But, other than […]
THAT TIME I HAD A GUN POINTED AT ME
December 19, 2012
I’ve had a gun pointed @ me once. You’d think that for such a momentous occasion I’d remember more details than I do, but I only remember a few basics. I was either 16 or 17, and it was in the afternoon, around 12-2pm I’d say, during the week on a school day. I was […]
I DON’T WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN
November 4, 2012
I don’t have any paternal instinct. The thought of having children does not hold any appeal to me. For some reason, people usually jump to make the assumption that this means that I don’t like children, but that is absolutely not the case. I love children. Specifically, I love other people’s children. Babies and little […]
LONELINESS?
November 2, 2012
Taken from The Daily Post yesterday: When was the last time you felt really, truly lonely? This is actually a bit of a tough question for me. The truth is, I don’t really get lonely. I’ve always been a loner, an introvert, I’m perfectly comfortably spending time by myself, in fact I usually prefer it, […]
FRIDAY
September 14, 2012
It’s Friday. I’m awake (although I’d much rather be asleep), about to get ready for work. The heatwave has returned, it’s been in the high 80′s, I’m actually planning to wear shorts today, exposing my pale high-yellow legs, something I don’t usually do, but we’ve also gotten extra busy again (which is why I haven’t […]
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
September 10, 2012
1/ “MOSTLY HARMLESS: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF J.R. LEMAR” 2/ Alan Moore. Creatively speaking, the man is like a God. I’d live to be able to just sit with him and listen to him. 3/ “I love you.” That’s something I’ve just never been very comfortable saying to anyone (friends, family, or romantically) but […]
