Taking a moment during Lunch.

So I'm at work and it's lunch time. Thought I'd take a moment to blog.

Today is a Friday. But not any Friday, a Summer Friday. So what does that mean? It means that the entire office has the day off from work. Except for me. But that's OK.

I like the silence of an empty office. The sun is shining and I do have work I need to do.

Galena and back again.

Others misfortune.

Last Friday on the way home there was a big storm. It was 5pm and the sky was black. I went to take the bus home from work. At the bus stop nearly everyone was standing far away from the curb. Either huddled under the bus stop weather box or way back by whatever doorway they could find. Me though, I decide screw the torrential downpour and take out my umbrella that a coworker lent me. So I go stand by curb with rain coming down hard. I think like one other person is doing the same as me. You have to understand, on a normal day there are a ton of people all getting in each others way trying to stand at this bus stop. On that day they were all scared if the rain.

So the point? So while I'm standing listening to my ipod standing in the rain my eyes are just randomly wondering around. Finally when I look down at the street at the river of rain water, the piles of leaves and garbage all soaked I see a peculiar wire warped up in leaves and maybe hair. At least it felt like hair. The wire looked familiar. Black and white cord all balled up with soaked trash and leaves.

So I pick it up. I remove the leaves and trash and find. (rpg reward sound with narrator) - YOU FIND A PAIR OF BO$E EARPHONES. I look around and see no one looking for them. Who knows how long they sat there covered in trash. The one person who noticed me pick it up had a disapproving look of garbage picker on his face.

So these are soaked. Really soaked. Through and through. The earbuds have mud and dirt in them. So I stuff it into my pocket. I decided if they are going to work I need to get them completely dry before I test it out.

Over the weekend I left them in a napkin by the window. Some sun and a napkin to absorb moisture. I'm telling you all this cause I just tested them and it turns out I now own a pair of full functioning bo$e earphones.

Market price about $99

Don's price? 0

Funny thing is a few weeks ago I was thinking about it and I said to myself the only way I'd ever own a pair of bo$e headphones is if I found them or someone gave them to me as a gift.

There's my bit of story. Ttyl8r

I should blog again.

But what do I blog about.

So much has happened since the last time I put an entry in here.

I guess its silly to talk about whats happened. Instead i will talk about whats on my mind..... nothing really.

Right, so time to go to bed.

later.

Go

Sometimes we just need to let somethings go.

People in General and God

So not so long ago I came up with a weird fictional religious creation theory. What I mean by fictional, is that I thought it might be fun to write a story about people who believed in this religious creation theory and how it would effect our lovely civilization.

I'm sure there are books out there that are like that. For example there is probably someone out there who has written about a world in which all the people adopted a single religion and the problems something like that would cause.

Well my idea is more of a different take on that.

The idea is basically you have this guy who one day comes up with this crazy theory on creation. This guy is no scientist and is the furthest from a theist as you can get.

So out of the blue he has this Creation Theory and he starts to talk to his friends about it. The religious friends think its nonsense and the atheist friend tell him its interesting but they wouldn't want to bothered by it.

Anyway as the story goes he decides to put his theory out on the Internet. Immediately millions of people start to argue about validity and blasphemy.

Not too long after this occurs, the most unlikely event happens. God visits Earth, and informs everyone that the theory was right and god had just been waiting until someone blogged about it before he'd make his grand appearance.

Blogging the blogverse. Why the hell is it so important?

Is it just me or does the advertising world think that blogging is so amazingly important. And yet haven't realized that only people in the industry are reading. Blog Blog Blog. As if gaining readership is so darn important.

 

The line is "we do social media because everyone is doing social media".

 

It's all a joke.
