Long awaited update

*IMPORTANT* Please watch:

I'm not sure why he's the only one to be able to do it, but in less than 4 minutes, Jon Stewart sums up why we're hated in the middle east, why Americans are frustrated with the policies there, and why when we're told its a "new plan" we don't really believe it.





Its been a real crazy week or more. The weekend of the 17th through the 19th was a crazy final hurrah at my old job. Multiple nights into the late evening (10pm to midnight) attempting to get the whole program moved into the new building. As always there was some drama - though all said and done it was a great way to end my stay. Its hard to believe I had been there for nearly 10 years.

After that weekend, I decided I needed a week to recover and prep for the new job. As typical me, my idea of recovering and taking it easy didn't quite pan out. Monday I went into work to say goodbye, fix a couple more computers and pickup some "light" reading for my new job (450 page bond and about 20 periodicals for the week). Woops. There goes part of the week.

I decided to ignore that responsibility for the time being and went down to the bros Tuesday. Some golf, some smoked ribs, and some Xbox 360 was exactly what the doctor ordered. ;-) Great times - thanks Scott!

I don't really know where the rest of the week went, but it had something to do with a playtest for Microsoft, new cell phone, new suits, picking up dry cleaning, reading 500+ pages of reading, and who know what else I can't remember now. >.<

All I can say is I feel prepared for the new job. And now, simply because I promised a couple different people that I would.. the first... in sadly a couple promised shots of my new "wardrobe". -sigh-



And yes, the 8 foot weed in the picture is intentional. It allows me to assume the slight giggle coming from your computer is actually about it. Thank you. Move along now.

UFC 74:





If all you want to see is Randy, hit play and drag it to 47 minutes in. Nothing like a 44 year old vs. a 28 year old. Makes getting old not look too bad.
