The best part of...

today was the dodgeball tournament in which I was able to participate. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! (This is funny too, but in a "seriously?" sort of way.) Never-mind the fact my team won but just watching people get popped from all distances was reminiscent of my junior high years as well as the movie. Equally amusing were the ample amount players you expected to have a cannon but ended up with hardly a water gun. Just goes to show you that size and looks really do not matter. Either you can throw or you can't... of course, having a baseball background certainly helps.

I'm still trying...

to figure out the male dominance thing where husbands/boyfriends hold their wive's/girlfriend's, respectively, necks while walking or simply standing there speaking with others. I realize the girl is typically shorter than the guy and the closest thing to grab (besides the top of their head of course) is the neck, but it just looks so ridiculous. Stop it. Stop it right now. No more of this neck-grabbing-beat-over-the-head-and-drag-into-the-cave-nonsense. Act like a civilized human being you putz.

Is there a reason...

people cannot use the correct spelling of a word when attempting to write something they hope to have merit? I honestly don't care if you are posting on a forum, typing an email, or orchestrating an article for wide online distribution -- the correct spelling of "lose" (as in don't "lose" your lunch money) is just that -- "l - o - s - e." That's it. Not loose; not losse, and certainly not lucy. And by the way, (to quote a classic Friends episode) it's "y - o - u - APOSTROPHE - r - E"... "y - o - u - r" means "your." If you're really that bad at spelling use a spellchecker (most programs have them built in) or drop by an online dictionary. Here are two (not to or too... just two):

Dictionary.com -- they also have a thesaurus so you can stop using the same 3rd grade words over and over.

Merriam Webster -- thank you Noah Webster and George and Charles Merriam.

That's it, I'm done.

Ok, this is completely...

bizarre! As noted in my previous post I work for a health facility. And of course, our pictures are on the wall denoting our position and for all to see and admire. Now here's the crazy part: I come in yesterday to work and all is normal and uneventful with picture-wall. I didn't pay it any more attention the rest of the day, but when I came in this morning my picture was gone. Oddly, I was the last to leave this floor yesterday and the first one to arrive today so something is not exactly right. I'm not implying someone stole my picture -- that's a bit extreme and somewhat narcissistic. I do think someone snatched my prize-winning glamour shot as a possible prank, but I don't recall anyone being around to do so. I think I feel a bit violated.

Well, I just made...

my very first online response to some nonsense I read in a magazine.  Currently, while pursuing post higher education, I work in the health and fitness industry; thus, I try to read just about any health/fitness article in a variety of publications.  I won't divulge to what pathetic article I responded, but I will say it covered the topic of men's and women's workouts -- should they be the same.  Needless to say, some information was misleading, some information was only part of the story, and some information was just plain wrong.  For some reason I decided (or felt compelled) to answer the inaudible call and fire off a reply to such foolery.  Sadly, I really wanted a response from their editors, but the "email" field on the form was non-functional.  Go figure; can't really say I expected otherwise.
