Needless to say, the whole blogging phenomenon has not really matched me well. Maybe it's just the lack of time I have. So I've decided not to devote time to this; much to the disappointment of all three of you. :) But I promise to still stop by your spots to check up on you every now and then. Just because I don't do the whole blogging thing myself doesn't mean that I don't enjoy reading all of yours.
In Christ,

Business phrases
Not too long ago, our local newspaer had a funny article in the business section. In this piece, the author listed a series of phrases used in the business world to describe various behaviors. Here are some of them:
Blamestorming - a meeting to discuss failures and find a scapegoat
Assmosia - the apparent absorption of success that comes from sucking up (aka kissing a**)
Deja moo - the feeling that you've heard this bunch of bullsh*t before
Mouse potato - a close cousin to the coach potato this is a person who spends hours and hours in front of a computer (see Napolean Dynomite)
Percussive maintenance - the common practice of 'fixing' something by banging on it repeatedly
Photox - improving the look of one's face in a photo through the use of graphic software
Dope-ler effect - the principle that stupid ideas sound better when they come at you quickly
Drink the Kool-Aid - accept company policy without question
Multi-slacker - someone who can perform many unproductive things at the same time
RDB - the 'rectal database' the origin of ideas pulled out of one's rear end
Spokeweasel - a PR person who is exceptionally good at spin
Cyberslacking - wasting time by casually browsing the Internet
It's amazing how often I experience each of these at my job. What about you?!

Cars + People = Bad Idea
So. Have you ever noticed that even though automobiles come equipped with turn signals, people don't seem to use them very often?
One of the lessons I remember from driver's education is to signal well before the turn (so other drivers know what we're doing), slow down, and then make the turn (assuming that it was safe to do so). Why do I seem to be the only one on the road to get that?!
Something's "bruin" in the BCS
On behalf of the Bruins population, I've only got two words for you Michigan and Florida faithful:You're welcome.
UCLA - 13
USC - 9
Seinfeld's Kramer (Michael Richards) Racist Tirade
Wow. Who would've thought that Kramer was a racist...

Crack a champagne bottle on my head (not literally). I'm off on my maiden blogging voyage.
