TV

Currently watching a documentary on the Zulu on History channel. Quite Interesting.

Daily Universe

So I was reading the paper today and headlines were Hippo moves from DC to new zoo and also Small Dog blows away in Wind. Really? Daily Universe just lost a reader.

Its gonna be a long summer

So I have settled into my summer job and I now know what is expected of me. Anywho, I was sitting in a room working with about 8 other people and I noticed I was the only guy in the room. A smirk slowly drawed across my face until I was probably smiling pretty big. This is the moment when everything goes wrong. A twinkle catches my eyes from across the room. Its a freakin' huge diamond on one of the girls hands. Then another twinkle from the other direction. Same thing. Then another and another. WTF! I work with a bunch of married women. LAME. My smirk is gone and im blinded from all the bling in the room. For the next 8 hours I listen to stories from The Hills and engagement stories. Gag. One of the girls in the room I am particularly attracted to. Her husband is a lucky man. I hope to do that well. .. someday.

Star Trek

So this is my confession: I am a Trekkie. I collected the trading card game as a kid and have in the neighborhood of about 2000 Star Trek cards in my parents basement somewhere. I wasn't as bad as my cousin who had the action figures (all of them!!). It was pretty awesome. He had a lifesize tricorder and several phasers. Anyways.. my point. Is the new Star Trek too contempory for most "old school" Trekies? Does its computer graphics appeal to older Trekkies or is Star Trek trying to enlist a new generation under a new, cooler appearence?? Guess I will find out when I go see it.

PS: Generations for life!

PPS: Picard is better then Kirk.. thats right, I said it so get over it.

Shopping

So I have been taking my brother around to test drive cars lately. All I can say is that I rememer how much I dont like shopping again. He hasn't renewed his license since he has been home so I have been driving him to all the cars (we have seen about 7 so far) then I test drive them . Thats just what kind of brother I am (of course I charge him ;) ).

:(

Well I asked a girl out for this weekend that I really liked. Got rejected. Feeling pretty down and bad for myself. Its a side I dont let other people see. When I am most hurt I play it like its okay and act silly or use humor to defend myself or cover it up until I get home. Mostly I just feel sorry for myself now. Feelings of inadequacy and lonelyness. Im emotional but it must just be that time of the month or whatever.

Book

Just finished The Life of Frederick Douglass today at work. Final thoughts: It was deffiantly an eye opener into American history. I would deffinatly say it was one of the most influential books I have read, not because it was well written, but because the fact that it is a history of slavery written from the point of the slave. I listened to it as book on tape today at work. Im going to try to do a book a day at work- all of which are "the classics". Wish me luck.
