I stand corrected about Lou Ferrigno...apparently he is only grumpy if you try to take a picture of him WITHOUT painyg. 

Which begs the question - why or how did this become a job?  And - how can I get it?  If you see me in SD this year - you owe me a buck.  If you talk to me - $5!  Oh wait - now I'm going against all of @k5blazer's points.  Argh!

OK - free to see me...free to talk to me...but if you want dinner you're buying!

March 13, 2009 1:55 pm @josh - well, they don't have to be so grumpy about it.  As for Kevin Smith - good point.

@k5blazer - my father is an audiophile - and he can afford the good stuff.  I can't.  Plus my ears are so shot from too many punk shows - I can really tell a difference.

I am a big fan of books - seeing the paper - but, as I mentioned earlier - I am a bigger fan of not wasting the resources.  For me - I can get the same net result with soemthing on my screen, or an iPod, etc.  I still enjoy my music - I still read email (just as I would a letter), so on and so forth.

It's just how I roll...

@Eyun - no you didn't at all.  I just was spitting out a few more ideas that I didn't throw into my already lengthy article.

@tigermojoe - Good thing - if everybody agreed with me the world would probably implode...or be really awesome!

@Eyun - To each his own.  Personally I have less and less desire to own "things" and I have no desire to continue "wasting" (my opinion) resources.  I find this especially difficult with my theatre work - because it is so temporary - but I take great strides to recycle and reuse everything - but that is not always possible.  I then try to overcompensate in my home life so I don't feel as bad at work.

November 14, 2008 10:53 am I hate to sound impatient - but it's ridiculous that we are waiting for a device.  It seems that the speed of technology we would already have gone through a few generations of devices - especially since (at least the big publishers) are working from *.pdf anyway.  So the material is there waiting to be read...

I wish my polling place had been as exciting.  We voted early in the basement of the courthouse.  It was an interesting selection of people.  My favorite was the man that was too blind to read and just kept screaming, "I want to vote straight democrat!"  The election officials were quietly telling him that not all the elections had two candidates.  He then started to yell about the lack of democrats on the ticket in Indiana.  Eventually he just asked them to pick the best option if there were no democrats.  

As humorous/odd/scary as that particular exchange was - there were many more.  I think I would have preferred to vote with Baloo and Ariel...
