My Socks Are on Fire!

Tuesday, May 16, 2006

I'm not original.

I thought that the title of this blog was pretty durn nifty, and I came up with it all on my own. While that maybe the case, I'm apparently not the niftyest person around. A google blog search puts my nifty little site at fourth place, out of ten. I mean I knew about the
Twin Peaks thing, but I thought that was just two wacky minds working on the same wavelength many moons apart. So I think it's time for a new name. I'm working on a list of possible choices, but I can't remember how I changed the subdomain last time. So for now My socks are on fire stays as it is. One possible choice is Engineer on Stage, but I'm definitely not an engineer anymore, so it would be kinda silly.

We have a new puppy at our house. Lady made her last trip to the vet when I came home for Easter. Our new puppy is named Angel, she is eight years old worked as a breeder and was very emaciated when the golden rescue league got her. She's still really skinny and eats about eight cups of food a day. When she gets back to full health she should be about sixty pounds, which is still about twenty pounds smaller than Lady.

I'm looking for a job now that I'm back home for the summer. I applied at Virgin, the music store, and I have an interview there tomorrow, but I think I'd rather have the other job I applied for at a pool supply warehouse. The manager at Virgin told me there were very sales oriented, instead of customer service focused. I don't think I want to be pushing product. I may also apply at EB Games, and the Melting Pot, the fondue place Kels works at. I could be a serving assistant, which is a fancy name for busboy, but it's hard to find a place that's just hiring for summer work. I'm not going back to Barnes and Noble because the store closed, and I don't want to work at the new one. The fact that the store closed is problematic because my prosective employers can't contact them and find out how cool I was there.

Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett,
There are two kinds of men and only two.
There's the one staying put
In his proper place
And the one with his foot
In the other one's face

This is just one man's blog. You will read about my life and what happens therein. Will it change your life? No. Should you read it? Probably not.

I guess this is a good a time as any to welcome any intrepid readers that have stumbled here from facebook. It should be noted that there is some heavy stuff that gets posted here. I should also note that this blog is about me and my outlook. This is one of the few places where I am 100 percent honest. That's not to say that my feelings don't change. What I wrote here three years ago is very different than what I felt three weeks ago, and that is decidedly different that what I felt three days ago. So intrepid readers, I invite you to comb through the archives, but be warned, if we know each other you might be mentioned, I might have used a pseudonym I might not have. Any thing on here is something that I deem worthy to posted on the netterwebs. That means it's important to me. If something I post here bothers you that's OK. But rarely (read:never) will I edit previous posts. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I may not be proud of what I put out here but I mean it. If you want to talk about it go ahead, I have comment links for all of the posts, or you can just ask me about in the real world. If it's here it's fair game for discussion.

Everything here is the intellectual property of the owner unless otherwise indicated. Steal it and I will have my posse of legal students attack you face. There is no fair use of it, just stealing. If you want to quote me, ask first.

Woot! Links!
