One of the worst things about the corporate world is the wretched requirement that everything have a phony positive spin on it. All the office sycophants use senseless upbeatisms all day, and it’s draining my life force. How else can you explain some of the things you hear people say around the office.

I work with a guy who says awesome all the time. Someone replaces the toner in the copier..awesome made a new batch of coffee awesome!

I don’t mean to be a dick, but I don’t want to live in a world where new toner is awe inspiring.

I’m guilty of it too, occasionally I catch myself saying great at news that is simply good, or maybe even as expected. In fact I will try and stop saying great at all in the work place. Tell ya what, we cure cancer, and I’ll say great! If I see Aurora Borealis I’ll say awesome! Short of something of that ilk, I’m sticking with as expected, or good.

Face it, it’s not a good practice. We lie to each other all day about the awesomeness of it all, and next thing you know the board is reporting awesome! to the shareholders when what the really mean is just okay. Next thing you know it’s Enron!

But.. but.. Ken Lay said it was all good, awesome even.


Speaking of phony, is it me or is that new Outback steakhouse guy a real tool? He sounds like he’s doing a fake Aussie accent…a real fayekahh.

Tonight my much maligned viewing habits will clash, Sasha Cohen or the American Idol women….Tivo help me.

America eff yeah

There is no question that preventing the attack on LA represents some good work by all involved. Bush’s motive for declassifying the documents and talking about it now couldn’t be more transparent. I have to break the law, it’s for your own good. But lest we forget the would-be attack on Seattle back in 2001, that was successfully thwarted 9 months before 9/11. Somehow without the aid of questionable wire taps, and well marketed civil liberties erosions, we were still able to have some success. Were we doing enough? Doubtful or 9-11 wouldn’t have happened…or would it? That’s the trouble with a free society, it’s hard to keep people from blowing themselves up without taking away freedom. I’d like to see an overall more cohesive effort than we had pre-9/11, but one that stops short of illegal wiretaps.

My point? I don’t have one really. Just hoping we understand the context of this new information, and remember what we’re fighting for. Freedom isn’t free, and that’s why I don’t want to give it away.

Wood chips and roses and whiskers on kittens

After Bush mentioned switchgrass last night, I’ve been giggling all day just imagining the President saying different types of alternative fuels. In my head all day the fake W has been saying feskew


Maybe we could come up with a car that burns Indian gum, or milk weed, hell how about skunk weed, whatever works, but it needs to be bi-partisan. All plants are on the table.


This tickles me for some reason.

I wanna Tag that Axe

Dudes at my gym love body spray. Who am I to talk if I drop the soap in the shower at home it’s like shampoo bowling.


We are addicted to oil..and I’m your pusherman. It’s funny hearing an oil man, erm okay the son of an oil man talking about how we are a nation addicted to oil.
