evolution and intelligent design

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

So I’ve been thinking about a good way to end the debate between these two schools of thought. The way I see it, we can mesh all elements of both and write history anew. Right. Fast forward to the Eighth day of Creation by the divine being – this is the quality control week if [...]

instant message this

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

I’m at work today surfing the Internet (I’m doing school homework so it’s all justified), when I get an Instant Message from the Managing Director: Boss: Can you tell Rat #2 to turn his IM on? Beatrix Kiddo: Hold on. He’s on the phone B: With me Huh? Why can’t he ask him himself? Frankly, [...]

ambassador of joy

Monday, March 20th, 2006

I am hereby nominating Madonna for the post of next ambassador to the United Nations. Really, the girl, has done more than anyone else I know to promote world peace and unity through the singing in tongues…within the same song. And if that doesn’t express cheer hope that the world becomes a modernized caucophonic Babel [...]

the corporate ball and chain

Monday, March 20th, 2006

This morning, I sent out an e-mail to everyone in the office. The subject was the cancellation of my cell phone number and thus the end of all annoying calls from the office! or so I thought… So naturally, the managing director, that rare (snort) specimen of supervisor who’d sooner have you implanted with a GPS microchip than [...]

are you underpaid?

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

This was the subject of en e-mail I received today. It caught my eye, because, heck, I am too grossly underpaid. In case I haven’t mentioned it before I work in V.C. That’s Venture Capital or also called Private Equity (same shit just a fancier name). Now, don’t get me wrong. Their pay is definitely [...]

ms. stone and the money shot

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

I was watching yesterday that poignant icon of smartassery named Jon Stewart. I consider his show the Holy Grail of news, the only news show that gives it to you like it is…all sass and no blow (sort of). Anyway, it seems that Ms. Sharon Stone has been cavorting around the Middle East offering kisses [...]

nascar incursion

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

This morning I drove to work. Despite the heavy rain and slippery streets, I decided to get on the on-ramp at 60mph…with the hand brake on so I wouldn’t have to brake with the pedal. I know, v. smart… As anyone with the inclination for doing donuts in random roads and parking lots knows, this is [...]

pimping is in, gayness is out

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

I wasn’t going to start my blog by bitching but the recent Hollywood events have given me no choice. Brokeback Mountain didn’t win the Oscar for Best Motion Picture. Instead it went to Crash which was, well, a major crash. It is basically the same old movie about fate and our racial differences. Yawn…and, oh yes, it [...]
