The Irish Thug

Dear Sir/Madam,

While I have never met you, you have touched my life greatly. The time you spent filing as you worked is much appreciated. Generally files are organized chronologically or by a call number. However you strived to show what was really possible with the Throw-It-in-a-Box Method. It really should be adopted by all companies, large and small. You wouldn’t believe how easy it was to find the necessary documents to ensure ARUP does not get sued and blamed for the delays during construction. They were only minor delays, so it wasn’t even a big issue. The building is only going to open 14 months late.

As I worked though the files that had been so diligently organized, I learned something about you. You are from the More is Better school of thought. You opened my eyes to a much larger world that I didn’t think was possible with staples. Never before have I seen so little done with so much. I used to think that if I used one staple for two pieces of paper that it was overkill. I mean, a 1 to 2 ratio is so high. But then you showed me the light. I being a lesser man would have stopped at the 1 to 2 ratio. But no, you pushed forward beyond common sense and logic. When you arrived there were six pieces of paper, when you left there was one stack firmly secured and your stapler was now five staples lighter. A very bold move to which I tip my hat.
You have shown me that there is a lot I have yet to learn. I hope I get to follow in the path of many others like you, if there are others of you great caliber.

Sincerely,
Patrick

So I bought some Twizzlers from a vending machine. They got stuck. Max and I proceeded to shake the machine til the twizzlers fell. Between the time we started shaking and the time the twizzlers fell, a bag of peanut m&m’s, a pair of Reese’s cups, and some york peppermint patties also fell. Does it make me a bad person?

Ingredients in Milk Chocolate: “Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate, Nonfat Milk, Milk fat, Lactose, and Soy Lectin and PGPR, Emulsifiers.”

1. NONFAT MILK AND MILK FAT?!?
2. Why are there 2 and’s that are not at the end of the list?
3. What the fuck are Emulsifiers?

Some how I managed to cut the nails on my left hand, both my feet, but not my right hand. And its not like this is the first time this has happened. I do it at least twice a year, which is a really high percentage.
Is there something seriously wrong with me, or do other people do this too?

PS Everyone should have bought Apple stock last week.

I don’t know exactly when it happens (I’m pretty sure it’s some time after middle school), but once you reach this point, all people refuse to full out run anywhere (excluding athletic situations). It could be the last plane out of Cuba and people would still be doing that half jog thing. I’m not saying I’m innocent of it either. I’ve missed plenty of buses in the last 3 months because of it. Why do grown men and women feel so awkward that they’d rather miss something than be seen in an extreme rush?

I’m the featured blogger of the mounth at saddlepoint.

Edit: My stint over there ran from March 4th through April 1st.

One new list on the website before I head of for St Louis. Florida proved itself humorous, hopefully the same will hold true here. And for all those that care, TPRS is in the works. A lot more coding is needed, but it’s definitely happening.

Everyone should go get the Time Lapse Consortium CD. It’s an Incubus side project from like a year ago. Picking one song was tough. In other news, thank you Todd Brunson for a great quote.

Congratulations, Will, on being the 1000th person to cause a tick on my sites counter. Your prize is 25 Biggest Fan Points and your name goes up on the wall. Additionaly congrats go out to you for being the 2nd person to actually claim the points you get for being a specific visitor on my website. With this one act you sky rocketed yourself passed two other people and placed yourself in 4th … ahh, I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. Well done.

Free time at work means new lists for the masses. And always, a new song that I think is good.

I know, I know, it’s been a while. I’m sorry, but finals will be finals. I was also spending a lot of time on the Tournament Poker Rating System. (TPRS will soon be covered in a section on my website.) But know that I’ve started work and have nothing to do after 7PM, I finally got around to updating. I plan on doing a lot more work here and updating more than i did in December.
