With the new year just around the corner, now is the time that most people start making resolutions. Whether or not they keep them depends on the person and, in some cases, their worldly situation. Normally, I make my resolution based on what I feel I would like to do during the year. This year, however, I feel it necessary to fulfill my resolution.

Bottom line is, I am tired of bullshit. Don't bring your drama to me. If you have issues with me, voice them or leave me alone. Don't play around saying one thing to my face and another behind my back. Be grown about it, and deal with the issue. I'm tired of the games. I'm tired of knowing that people I considered my closest friends would rather gossip about me behind my back than confront me about something.

I realize that the majority of those involved may still sit back and ignore this. If that is the case, I will consider the matter settled and move on. Do not, however, expect me to make time for you. Turnabout is fair play.

And if you think that this post is even vaguely about you, that means it is.

Me: My foot itches.
Coworker: With justice?
Me: ...no.

I have the best (new-ish) phone ever!

1. Has a loud ring and crazy vibrate (+)
2. Comes with Windows Media Player installed (++)
3. Just played music for a 9 hour shift (+++)
4. Still has 2/3 battery left! (++++++++++ <3)

It does have a QWERTY keypad, and I'm not sure how I feel about it, so that's a 'meh'. The biggest downside is that the only headphones I can get for it are Bluetooth, and thus cost 80 billion dollars (the cheapest pair I've found so far are 39, but there's a pair of Sony ones for 69 that look awesome). Bluetooth headphones, however, are wireless and as such extra awesome.

Also, third shift is kinda raw.

I will more than likely begin working third shift next week. This will continue for probably two months. Thought you might want to know.

There are a maximum of three steps to fixing any problem anywhere.

Step 1 - Taser. If ineffective, proceed to steps two and three.
Step 2 - Tee ball bat*
Step 3 - Woodchipper

Note: You may add a 'phase' to step 2 involving threats, but generally if they've already been tased it's just a waste of breath.

*If you proceed fully with step 2 I recommend continuing to step 3 just to cover all of your bases.

"The ancient ritual of brewing a distinctly rich and flavorful beer is a performance to behold. Our mysterious melange of time-honored ingredients harmonize with chaotic chemistry, humble patience, and blind faith to create this unique beer to share in the rousing company of kindred spirits. Cheers!"

Magic Hat #9 is a fantastic beverage, and I enjoy it.

In other news, SERENITY WEEKEND!

I am now (roughly) 100% plague-free, and am enjoying it immensely.

I has the plague!

Oh noes!

NINJA-BEAR!

Hooray for geek stuff!

I just finished the first Serenity event of the year, and it was awesome!

You know, there comes a time in every man's life where they have to sit and answer one simple question.

What do you do if a bear in a ninja suit hands you a box full of dead gerbils?

In other news, there is no other news. My life is boredom incarnate.

Quotes of the (yester)day:

Scott: "Steak and Shake should serve breakfast all day."
Marc: "If they served breakfast all day, they'd be IHOP."
Scott: "So?"
Marc: "They're not IHOP."


"I'm gonna give her the good tip!"

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

Everyone should read this, because it's awesome!
