I have been gone away, far from home for the past 2 days.
I am in the (p')zone with work right now. I guess I can credit my decision to leave June 1st(?) as my chief motivating factor.
The weather is nice and I really want/need to go home NOW.
Pearl Harbor's peeing incident of Monday night did not buy her points or cowgirl boots.*
* - PH is the cat/portugeuse fur monster owned by Keith. She peed on my sleeping bag Monday night because WE didn't invite her to Applebee's. C'mon, she always complains about the portions. HOW could we invite her after the scene she made at Chili's over her California Cobb Salad?

I am to issue a challenge...
This afternoon for the first time ever, I beat a game of Minesweeper at the "EXPERT - 99 mines" level.
My time was 498 and I ask you friends, can you beat it?*
* - I don't know what a good time is so I implore you to beat my time.

Nothing good ever seems to occur on Mondays unless you count SNOWDAYS or holidays. I did see a fat old man in sweatpants, large stick in hand, chasing away CANADIAN geese this morning on my drive in to work. That was cool.
My trouble starts this morning - not wanting to wake up and not wanting to go to work. I am here now but I am shunning and ducking responsibilities as long as I can. My college degree helped prepare me to do this. I do however, get to not be in the office Tuesday and Wednesday and instead spend in up near Akron with meetings and training.
I watched Kill Bill volume 1 last night. All in all, I'd say it was a pretty well done film. Yes it was bloody but the most bloody scenes seemed so comic book that it was more funny and gross.
Nice weekends spent at home and in the front yard seem boring to outsiders but they are the lifeblood of me.

Work won't let me setup my GMail account. Battlelines have been drawn.
Personal need dictates early departure from work on Friday.
I've decided I need to hold my own fashion show. EVER WANT TO MODEL? please inquire.
I had to come up with something pretty awesome for Friday's post so here's what I found and have to offer or if you like opera & pachaderms

It wasnt even work today. I spent half the day in a computer software training class, a class thati COULD have used two months ago. I did make roughly $30 profit in travel pay and got home around 3pm. Keith says I've slipped this week. He hasn't seen FRIDAY yet.
Becky: it's PEACE CORPS.
Although PEACE CORPSE is an awesome metal band name we agree.

Weather: nice & cool
Work Ethic: Dutch (not quite German, not yet Italian)
Motoring along so far today getting all that needs to be done, done. My birthday was very low-key with Chinese takeout, angelfood cake, and television.
I did watch the movie, Stealing Harvard last night and my verdict is that it was horrible. I do believe I could have made a better movie in the 9th grade given $1000's of dollars and a boom operator. Yes, I have a soft spot for Tom Green (he was fairly amusing) but the plot had nothing HARVARD about it other than the conflict being Jason Lee's character getting $30k to pay for the promise to pay his niece's college tuition. It was shot in California, not funny.
I was reading Ana's blog and saw that her plans to Europe are in jeopardy because she isn't going with a tour group. I offer my services as an official guide and I work non-profit.

Here I celebrate.
I woke up today and almost forgot it was my birthday. Birthday's are not the same at 24 years old as they are when you are 12 years old, the trade-off being strippers & booze (24) over pony rides & roller rinks (12).
The weekend was exactly what I needed and I have come to work with no stress or worries from here on out. Yes, I am looking for a new occupation pronto*.
R Kelly is pretty hot topic right now. Ginuwine's "the senior" is a fairly sharp album as well.
* - not because it's "too hard." I need something different, something geared towards my degree. Am I a quitter? Perhaps, but not if I am pursuing happiness and a career. I currently work a job and there is a difference.

Listen, I've got a birthday tomorrow. Why don't you go in as a group or whatever, and get me a new job for my 24th (my Ken Griffey Jr year). I'm thinking something closer to you so we can eat pizza, rollerskate, and draw pictures of unicorns eating banana splits when I'm not at work.
By the way, I said "please."
My parents came home last night, ending my weeklong reign of "household authoritarianism" and I'm comfortable with this.
Calendars!
Plans are in the works of visiting Akron on the 1st of May (saturday) and a follow up trip to Windsor on the 8th and 9th of May.

one of these days I'll earn the nickname of "DUI Machine"
Current Temperature: 72F
Current Work Ethic: Spanish
It goes like this, the nicer the weather - the worse the my ability to work.
I am actually looking forward to this weekend of soccer games, softball practice, and mowing the lawn.

I actually failed to browse the web today due to demands from my job. I need an "out." SOON and a chair with lumbar support.
I could get used to seeing the sun shine more often. It has been TWO days straight now waking up to blue skies.
Side note to Marky:
If you do move to Kitchener, I get your bed.

I forgot that the Statue of Liberty was closed. I hear they are opening it back up to the public, but then again I don't live in NYC and have no real plans to go there soon.
Movies from the library are "What's Hot" this week. Last night was The Recruit with Colin Ferrell. I don't like Colin Ferrell but I did enjoy this movie because it was about the CIA and that got me all paranoid. It almost inspired me to do a "Byron Freund, " acting purely on impulse, me joining the CIA. I also heard they don't have pizza there.

Every once and a good while I visit here hoping to see someone I went to school with. (It is a bit odd that Keith fits the description of a "Michael Storrows.")
Last night I slept better knowing that I have now completed the American Pie trilogy, watching Amercian Wedding last night before bed. It wasn't anything ground-breaking and I did find some parts funny. Hey look, at least they aren't in high school anymore.
Truman was downgraded to minimum security last night, getting the opportunity to sleep in my bed and therefore not barking all night. I was able to get a good night's rest for once.
This evening might be a mini-van commercial for me. I play soccer mom, it is raining, can't you picture the scene of soccer kids running to the car after the game?

I was a Grumpalumpagus this morning and after a good lunch I began recalling funny stories (some true, some not) from my University days...
Summer 2001, Timbertop:
Keith gives Alex Cikos a "Fozzie" by smashing a tomato in Alex's shorts. Alex was relaxing on his stomach on the floor, setting himself up such a funny act.
Fall 2002:
Keith and I constantly talking about how Akron U's radio station, WZIP, pees on little kids. Yes, it was slander but WZIP is still awful.
Speaking of peeing, the two Dr Peppers I had at lunch want to make a curtain call...
If Pearl Harbor doesn't graduate from Camp Teen Xtreme! she could end up hier

Trust me when I say, "You don't want to be me this week."
Along with the usual work routine, I have a house of approximately two dogs and one 13 yr old Korean to watch over. Sleep is not an option, well, good sleep that is. Why must I have to live my life this week like a parent?
Easter was a nice day but I am full of gripes.
Someone has the case of the Mondays. me.

I wish she would have forgot her pizza instead.
The other funny news I heard this morning was from Illinois where some highschoolers were visiting a prison and someone forgot to tell the ladies ahead of time, "no bras with underwires." Well... the bras set off the metal detectors at the front gate, where then the girls were then required to remove their bras in the public gate house (use your own imagination as to HOW they did so, tastefully or not-so-tastefully). On top of that, these lucky ladies continued on their prison tour going au natural in a place filled with rapists, murders, and tax advisers. Talk about comfortable (the visit, not the upper torso).
So Remember: Don't wear metal bras when you go to visit a prison.

Only in Florida.
Although the day is Good Friday, I am far from "good," having to come into work, not having the day off. What the fuzz doesn't know is that I am.

I've got customers coming in within the next 60 minutes. I really thought I could get through the week with "goose eggs" on the scoreboard - "0" as in ZERO sales this week. I can't even try to under-achieve around here.
Go ahead and tell my boss I am taking the afternoon off tomorrow. Only Pagans work on Good Friday.
This week's Onion was not as funny as I was hoping it would be.

This morning I found out that Ohio is the 4th highest state in terms of State/Local taxes as % of per capita income. Ohio is 11.3%, the national average is 10%. New York leads the nation with 12.9%. BOR-ING.
I don't even have a joke for this one.

I am weighing the Pro's and Con's of getting my OHIO concealed weapons permit. The Pro's were winning then I discovered that I cannot take a concealed weapon into:
~churches
~schools/universities
~childcare centers
~restaurants or bars that sell alcohol
If I had my gun (an Uzi) I'd make sure to clean it all the time, like when I go to Barnes & Noble and the bank.

Be aware that it is FULL MOON week. You'll need to stock up on SilverBullets (Coor's) and wear lots of green clothing (a Celtic's Robert Parish jersey is recommended).
I received a compliment today when an older gentleman told me he liked my outfit but not my belt. Although important, belts are just an accessory and I could've flashed my cowboy boots at him, but his heart probably couldnt have taken that.

The Metzger family fell victim to the TIME CHANGE of last night. There should be one person designated to change all the clocks in the house.
I forgot to offer this advice last week:
Don't assume a beer will be good based on the name. I found this out after drinking a pint of Boddington's last Saturday night that, well, to be prefectly frank, smelled like puke and didn't taste much better. Hey, the can looked cool.

I've noticed that a good number of the laughs I get from jokes come at the expense of Phoenix, Arizona. Hey Phoenix, it's TOO easy...
Internship update:
I've received one inquiery so far. Let it be known that I have high-speed Internet and a corporate credit card plus a soon-to-be private line for all your dark secrets.

Tell Richard that it IS Spring.
I actually woke up today, ready to go to work. Don't get this confused with WANTING to go to work, nobody does that unless you are an executioner or Goran. ZING!
Making this week better is the fact that Friday is TOMORROW and then the weekend.
Side note:
I am offering Summer Internships for this summer of 2004. You'll be working with me, for me, and even pay me. Not with money, but with sweat. If still interested, apply using the "comments" box below.
I read an article that has Canadian officials in Ottawa lobbying for an 11th province in the Carribbean, the Turks and Caicos Islands. I nominate Marcus J.W. Janca for the post of provincial gov'nor.
