Chicago 2012

| Comments

Ah, Chicago. What an interesting city full of interesting architecture and tasty food. On a less pleasant note, over 20 people were shot while we were there. This in a city that has so many restrictions on guns that they’re being challenged in court. Nice!

In any case, you can see more pictures at the full gallery.

We took a trip to Boston a little while back. We went in the fall so it was nice and colorful. Brisk as well. Check out the full gallery to get more from where these came from!

Dating Defined

| Comments

There are unlimited amounts of material to help you find your soul mate, date online, and analyze yourself so that you can date better. How can you even begin to start all of that if people can’t even agree on the definition. Some people think that a date must involve mutual feelings. Others think that you have to use the word “date” for it to count. Semantics, people!

Date

  • noun - Prearranged meeting between a male and a female for some period of time greater than 10 minutes
  • verb - Spending time socially with one other person of the opposite sex

People are going to object to my definitions. In fact people have already objected to my definitions! But stick to them, and your wariness might prove to save you untold heartache from a lack of communication. At the worst, these definitions are going to force you to communicate about what people’s intentions rather than drawing your own assumptions.

And remember everyone, assumptions are a fast track to trouble.

Going Retail

| Comments

This blog has not been getting the lovin’ that it’s due. It’s calling me to utilize it. It wants it, it needs it!

But that’s another story.

This post is about my new job. It’s been a few months now, but I mention it here to keep things on the up and up. Based on my pattern, I’m good for a few years until I yearn for new things. Then again, I have a relatively small sample size. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my previous job. The work was fine, and I had some friends amongst my workers (note: Crom wasn’t one of them). But I’m off to new things.

I now work for a retail website (in fashion no less). Suffice to say it’s been a bit of a different experience since now it’s less about the software and more about selling products.

Oh don’t worry, I have some Crom posts backed up that I need to finish. So stay tuned for those, but fear not for I have already encountered numerous other characters in my new workplace! I suspect that this blog won’t ever die simply because I need an outlet to tell the stories that make up my life. You should be so glad.
