The keyboard was broken before I got to it and broke it more.

Snow

While I was waiting in line at the Metro for a commuter bus during a snow storm, two girls started kissing and making out in front of a long line of commuters.

I love snow.

First Snow

At the sight of first snow I am always reminded of a story from back when I was in Catholic grade school.

One day, we were all sitting in class in our uniforms and it started to snow...the first snow of that winter. All of us started to look out the window at the falling snow.

Our teacher, a nun, yelled at us to stop looking at the snow. She said, we shouldn't be looking at the snow. It's not like we haven't seen snow before, she said. In fact, she said the only person who should be excited to see the snow was a foreign student in our class from some unknown South Pacific island who had never seen snow.

So every time I see the first snowfall I think back to a nun yelling at me that I shouldn't be excited to look at the snow.

Columbus Day

This is the first Columbus Day that I didn't work or have school. I actually got it off.

So what did I do???

"I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be."

From Office Space or as I like to think of it the movie that most mirrors my life

From a book that I am reading

"In fact, internal efficiency or system departments, which were started in many firms adopting the methods of systematic management, sometimes began by systematizing the internal systems for communication information."

What?
