Is This Thing On?
February 2, 2006 at 9:54 am | In Friends, News, San Francisco | Leave a CommentI don’t know why, but I seem to think that is a really funny line…especially when used at the right time in blogging. I will be making my way up to Tahoe for the weekend, along with a good friend for some good snowboarding, beers, and Superbowl watching. It used to be a minor ritual, for a few years, but then kids and wives-to-be came along and it became harder to make. But, this year, I am making the trip back to Incline Village for the Kohut Invitational. Beers, darts, snowboarding and Mexican food. Maybe even a 44oz Sneaky Bandito if you will. It should be a great time and I am really looking forward to it.

People Are Crazy
February 15, 2006 at 12:19 pm | In Commentary, General, News, Why | Leave a CommentSeems to me that people are really worked up these days. I just got off the phone with my friends at Cingular and they have no record of the 20 minute conversation with a nice fellow over there last week. So, I had to start at ground zero again. Of course, asking her to make a note in my account of our conversation was about as easy as pulling teeth from an elephant. Probably due to the fact that she liked to talk more than listen. Then I was browsing around over at Topix.net and noticed that they have a pretty cool new feature where you can leave comments on any piece of news you find on their site. Pretty cool idea. But, the problem is that there are some really hostile people out there…dare I say fanatical. The recent news about VP Cheney shooting one of his buddies is of course, stirring up a lot of action on and off line. But, it got me to thinking about the current state of affairs around here. People are just plain angry. I tell you what, I liked it better when we had moderates with fiscal responsibility in office. I am talking about “Democrats” and “Republicans” who all knew right from wrong, overspending from insanity and had some decency. The team out east these days seem more like they simply want to piss everyone off and start some kind of civil war in this country. Did I miss something? What the hell happened?
