Not sure where my mind has been on mind, here are a few things:

1. Anyone catch the daily show last night - Best show in years
2. Anyone miss "Throw out the bushes" at the convention this year. (jessie jackson's line from 4 years ago)
3. Ricky Williams - Good for you - have a nice life, and get off my sportcenter
4. The train for tomorrow
5. The fact that pharmacies suck. That they take 4ever to fill a perscription that you need to take everyday. Not 28 days straight and then when you feel like refilling it. Every single day. The doctor said so and it eve says on the little label.
6. The rain, hasn't it been so nice the last few nights

Monsoonal Season,

Its been raining so hard the past hour, I could have sworn that a plane was over our office. The noise the rain is making is just making me sleepy, the good news for the day at least Daisy didn't go deer hunting.

Chasing the Dog

Normally when one of our dogs escape its the big one. Today for some reason the little one had a bug up her ass. See this morning i woke up, showered, (the normal routine), I go outside and their is a deer in the neighbors yard not unusual for a given day. Well the dogs were staring at the deer both did their business, etc. Well the little one (Daisy) decided to go under the fence and attack. Well a little 10 lb weiner dog not only scared the dear but also chased it for a bit. Out into the street. So just imagine a full sized deer, being chased by a weiner dog who in tern was being chased by a 30 year old man.

So after that played it self out I fixed the hole in the fence and she found another one. This dog was on a mission to find the deer and take it down. Well all is well that ends well both dogs were good and tired when I left for work, but what an interesting morning it was.

Bachelor Party Recap,

So this weekend was a Bacehlor party weekend. To say the least the bachelor party was fun. 12 of us went to see the phillies down in philadelphia. As I write this I am very tired, but it wasn't your typical bacehelor party. There were no nudies, out of control men. Instead it was 12 men playing video games at Dave and Busters down in the city of brotherylee love. As for the game, it was good. I am not the biggest baseball fan, but the stadium down in phila is beautiful. The game was good, sammy sos hit a home run so that was fun. Well another weekend away where i missed my wife and doggies. At least the next time I go away I get to take her with me. Hope everyone had a safe and good weekend.

AHHH,

Can you hear that 2 hours 30 minutes left of the work day. Yup another weekend is just right around the corner. A weekend that will include a bachelor party, Probably a baseball game in the rain.

The storm today was incredible. I could have sworn I saw little ducks thinking that are street was a river floating downit. Then the Satellite when out. When it rains to monsoonal proportions this happens but such is life. Well back to work for a bit while longer.

Dancing Anyone,

Here is a little secret about my life that very few people now. For the past year almost once a week my Wife and I have taken dancing lessons. Strangely enough I was the one who took the phone call while repainting our family room last year and said to send the vouchers for the 2 free lessons. Well 1 year later, my wife and I have learned to Foxtrot, Ruma, Swing (her Favorite), Waltz, Cha Cha and some other ballroom dances. My wife and I were good about keeping it quiet, and our first dance was choreographed and perfect on that day. So tonight we are at dance, and I see th is person that I went to High School with. We both joked somewhat about being there, but in reality its not as bad as I thought, Plus it forces the wife and I to spend 45 mintues together and with no technology, or phones around us.

Same Sex Divorce,

CNEWS - Canada: Lesbian couple seeks divorce This is very interesting to me. I personally believe that people of an y race, religion, sexual orientation, etc should be able to marry. But I never really put thought into the other side, the what if it didn't work out side. I guess people never thought of t his. Divorce lawyers will be happy if Same Sex Marriages are legalized in the country. I wonder if their divorces will be like the war of the roses or a little bit more subdued and friendly?? Well I do hope whoever marries who it lasts a lifetime of happiness.

Wednesday = Hump Day

Well the midday portion of the mid-week. What a week its been. First note, I was at the doctors yesterday. He took some blood told me we are on the right track with the thyroid issue. Hashimoto's Thyroidides is what I suffer from. Its when your immune system attacks your thyroid and you just take drugs for the rest of your life. Oh well.

On a second note. Monday evening I was speaking on the phone with my mother. She said something about seeing the Micheal Moore 9-11 movie that recently was in theaters. I said how can you waste money on a so called "Documentary." Just so all of my readers now, I am not a republican, I am not a democrat, but I want all of you to think about how their really is no difference between the two candidates, and what they will say and wh at they both will do if elected are probably not the truth. Now back to the Documentary part of the conversation. Those of you out there who saw the movie might just realize that there are plenty of inaccuracies in the movie. That the movie is more of a statement then a documentary. So I wish Mr. Moore would just come out and say "This is a political statement movie." I have not seen the movie, however I do view it as a waste of money to support historical inacuracies.

Yahoo! News - Report: Michael Jackson to Be Father of Quadruplets

If this is true, they should really consider issuing licenses for those who want to conceive.

Monday, Bloody Monday,

Well the song was Sunday Bloody Sunday. An old U2 song. Not sure why its the title just what appeared inside Ari's head on a Monday afternoon. I know this sounds strange, but I looked forward to coming to work today. Not sure why. It was rainy and miserable and when the wife and I had gotten home yesterday I think we were both tired and grumpy from the monsoon we drove home in. Our doggies where very much tired as well. Must be something going on. Well tomorrow its to the Endocrinologist to learn more about this thyroid item going on in my life, so I will be owrking from home. As for everyhting else the wife wasn't feeling all that well today either.

Guess the Dictator or Sit-Com Character

The wife found this. Unreal is what it is. My first try was Jack Tripper and it won?? This thing is pretty fun.

Another Weekend, Another Car Ride,

Well T-5 hours til the wife, the puppies and I hop back into the car for another weekend in upstate NY. Someday amber and I will live up there. This drive isn't really that bad it just get's boring. However with the invention of Satelite Radio i have been able to tolerate commuting anywhere much more. Sat radio just rocks. The wife has even taken it out of my car lately and plays it in the house. Makes for a nice way to clean the house.

God Darn Comments

Thank you for all those who posted a comment, and I am so sorry that you couldn't see it. So I switched and am now using HaloScan like some of you out there. These things just stink sometimes.

Thursday

My last commuting day to work has been a good one. I have gotten much accomplished which is a good thing as much of the day tomorrow will be on the phone. The wife told me that she might be working from home tomorrow. That would be very interesting and I am actually looking forward to it. As for me all things are good. I need to go to the Drs and pick up all my bloodwork results from the last few months as next tuesday its endocrinologist time. Not to sure what to expect but whatever it is it should be interesting and hopefully my energy level will get back to where it should be. I have been dragging my ass all week long. I overslept my alarm yesterday and probably could have done so again today.

To much Negativity,

Look, I love the news. But lately the news especially The Drudge Report has been really getting me down. All i hear about is possibly death and destruction, doom of the incoming terror attacks, or about John Kerry and John Edwards Long faces. Anyhow to be honest I am addicted to the aforementioned web-site. Not to sure why. It could be that it's sensationalized or it could be that it gives me the new simple and easy. Then their is the drudgeretort. Which makes fun of the drudge report. Well i will keep reading because thats what i do. About this reading thing, see, I always joke with my former co-workers and friends that I am going to give it up for lent (I am jewish) and become like the guy in office space. Oh well enough of this quick break its back to work I go.

Consulting

Working in the consulting environment, is fun and challenging. Well one fo the things I do is weekly hold a call for those on the beach (the beach being not billable). Anyhow this call is always a difficult item because it is necessary to find out who is working their butt off and who has done nothing. So as you can sense the excitement in people's voices when I realize that most of these people who do nothing don't want to do anything. Its very sad. Yet this call does build a good sense of community and gives people understanding of what is going on behind the scenes.

Mirror.co.uk - GREEKS 'TO GAS 15,000 DOGS BEFORE OLYMPICS'

I know they are strays, but this still saddens me.

Neck Pain,

Why in the world couldn't i sleep last night. I went to bed fine. Then at 4AM i thought i heard something. I heard nothing. My hearing has been a bit odd lately. I can hear everything at times. It might be a side effect of my Thyroid meds but I am not sure. Anyhow last night i couldn't sleep. So when you can't sleep get up and move to the couch, or another room. Let the dogs out went to the couch and fell back asleep. But now as it is 1030 or so I my neck and shoulder are hurting. I just finished taking my vitamins for the day so I am hopefuly that by lunchtime this wwill break.

Happy Birthday to me!!

Well my wife threw me a great party for my 30th birthday, with some family and friends. I can honestly say I am a lucky man being surronded by such great people. Only hoping the next 30 years will bring as many great times as the last 30. Ahh, Sunday enjoy!!

World Court,

Okay, The following article, read it. World Court Condemns Israel Barrier, Says Must Go
What does this mean to you. It means that the world isn't going to be a safe place. It means that borders the court believes are a bad thing. Lets see, there hasn't been a suicide boming in about 3 months in isreal. Maybe the fence is a deterrent that save innocent people's lives. Does this "World Court want more Suicide bombings? Well I will tell this court that they are a crock of shit. Go live in fear on a daily basis.

In addition the US government has best back Isreal. As the palenstinians are going to the UN about this. Saying that isreal much like Iraq has violated the UN. Well the UN Does nothing to support democracy. It seems to only give those in a dictatorship a voice.

Soon the world court is going to tell us that a fence around our house is not needed, and all of our freedoms will be gone.

Thursday,

Well as the work week starts to wind to a close we are still in the same place. I am very hopeful that tomorrow being the end of the week that our Help Desk (or lack their of) will finally be completed with the database restore.

As for life. Its good. Today, I have been very tired. I went out for lunch this afternoon and it is africa hot out there. Muggy, sticky, hot, humid, disgusting (but typical) jersey weather.

As for the weekend I will be celebrating 30 years of life. For now, its back to work,

As the Repository Turns - or it doesn't turn.

Okay an update on the travesty that happened during the weekend. Now, I have 13 documents in my repository, and the helpdesk can't find the person who has access to the tape which has my restoration of the database on their. Every single day they are are wasting my time. It's an emergency people. What do I have to do to make you get off your asses and fix something that is not working. If you looked at your admin tab you would see that something happened friday so get off your ass and do something.

Allright i feel better. Still very frusturated. What do I have to do to get them to do besides sitting on the phone waiting for them to help me.

As for life. Its good. Just want this damn thing fixed already.

Where did the long weekend go.

Well that was it. Three days in a flash. 5 dogs, three days, 2 kids, some uncles and aunt's of the wife's that i never met. Went by in flash not to sure if we had time to enjoy it. Of course we enjoyed it. It was great fun. The 6 + hours in a car with 2 great doogies. The 3 days of insanity. It was a great time. I enjoyed myself.

Then it was tuesday morning. I was back at work looking at what i had created with my vision. My Knowledge repository. Over 6,000 submissions and growing daily. However, there were 0 documents in there. Some one (a bright guy I might add) completely screwed it up. Oh well it happens. So now its rebuilding my ark so to speak. Its back to finding the backup and trying to get it all back in there. The humanity.

Happy Friday,

Well after a longer commute then normal to upstate NY i found myself escaping my doogies and my inlaws dogs and brother in-laws dogs. I found myself escaping to starbucks. I have taken 4 phone calls from the buck. Had a couple of Fraps and some oreo thing that was damn good. Anyhow its been an intersting day being in a foregin city of Clifton Park NY. Its foreign to me see this is were my wife is from. The people in this town are no different from anyplace else they just have more time on their hands. In reality I have never seen so many people come and go to starbucks. Some of them sit and stay a while why others quicly come and go.

Well i have bored you enough of this little stream of writing, so have a happy and safe 4th of july.

Another Quiz,

Anyhow I was reading, "Its So Not About You and she had this quiz linked. Here were my results.

Jenny Turpish Slapped Me: Quizzes - Better Personality: "You are a WRDL--Wacky Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you an enemy of the state. You are charismatic and winning and a very dangerous enemy. You favor justice over compassion, and would almost rather see your opponent fail than you succeed.

You impact the lives of those around you more than any other personality. People remember your name and respect you. You are a tremendous amount of fun to be around and astonishing to watch. You are generally abstinent in your habits, and you like things tidy and ordered.

When picking teams, it is smartest for others to pick yours.
