Halloween Pictures

There was fun to be had on Halloween at the Jitterbugs dance. I have a few photos I took:

It's easy to see what all the flap was about...

In fact there matey, there be lots o' Jitterbuggin' pirates...

I wasn't serious when I said it was your fault... she looks like she is enjoying it just a bit too much.

She's a Keeper, Unfortunately, I Am Not

I am back on the market again.

Lori broke up with me on Wednesday night. I admit I am not very happy with it, not unhappy with her, but unhappy with the situation. Timing, as they say, is everything, and although she didn't exactly use those words or that phrase, basically that is the case. I am ready, and she is not. We talked and it is fairly clear that door is closed now, and that I am moving on, and she will be doing what she needs to do.

I feel as though I did (nearly) the best I could, and was respectful, kind, and loving. In other words, I treated her like I wanted her to treat me. So I am happy with myself, although, I can't really be sure if that makes it worse or better.

I know I am fond of saying "one of me, millions of ladies...", but in this case I had thought I lucked into a real gem. I am sad and frustrated and just feeling like it's not going to happen for me. *sigh* I am going to miss her bunches. Please no trite messages about how there is someone out there for me, I already know that.

P.S. to Jitterbugs: Lori says she is likely to continue dancing, please make her feel welcome, thanks in advance.

Superfreaky Monster?

When I got to work today, this little 'scary' monster was on my desk. He dances and sings Superfreak.

Hi Blog, Remember Me?

Well this has certainly been a while since I have written anything here. I don't quite know what happened to an entire two weeks, but it is gone now.

Tonight is one of my favorite occurences during the year... "fall behind", yep, I am going to get an entire extra hour of sleep tonight. I will be well rested for the next sixth months until the time changes again.
I think the entire thing time change thing is a farce. People force their lives to adhere to what the clock says instead of what the sun does... hmmm. I live next to a school, and when kids are going to school now, it is dark... why??? Why does the school have to operate on the clock, dangerously, who is being served by that? If the sun doesn't rise until 8:00am then start school at 8:30am. This isn't a mystery. There isn't a need for different time zones, run everything off of UTC with a 24hr clock and everybody can have their own local time... Central time, Omaha time, how about Eric Standard Time. Instead of "you have to be to work at 7:00am CDT, it would be "you have to be to work at 1300 UTC". No problem, people are smart, once they set their watches and clocks to a certain time, they can figure it out, as for everyone having their own personal time zone, no problem there either, how many people do you know who already have their clocks set :15 fast (or slow).

Half Eaten Words

Sprint has made me eat my words... sort of. I went in on Monday to get the phone that was going to replace the one that the camera didn't work in, which was replacing the one that wouldn't ring. I get there, and of course, they have no clue, and can't find the phone that they ordered for me. So after :10 minutes of searching, the guy comes out and gives me a brand new upgraded model phone.

So now I have a brand new phone, and nothing to complain about for a while.
