Swashbuckling, Atlanta-area, Technology Account Manager. I brew beer, play drums, and try not to under-achieve. I have people skills.
Preemptive lunch
For lunch today, I got some soup from the deli in the basement of my building. I started feeling the faintest little ache in the left side of my throat this morning, and I don\’t want to be the first person in my office to go down this season. Everyone will surely get sick themselves [...]
Read More...Not waiting to exhale
Do you ever hear a piece of music so powerful that it sucks the wind out of you? I don\’t mean figuratively, like suddenly \”identifying\” with Everybody Hurts and coming within 2 and 1/4 miles of missing your exit. I mean literally, like when Isis fits all of their gear into the tiny Drunken Unicorn [...]

Last night\’s sleep was one of those that seemed to last forever, but was altogether unproductive in the area of getting some sleep. So frustrating.

I\’m talking about the elitists who allow their modest slice of extra-curricular knowledge and their various social insecurities to manifest into the kind of social condescension that even a mother could [...]

It\’s Thursday. That means some of us may or may not have gathered at Mellow for trivia last night. Remember back when we were all there weekly like clockwork, and the Thursday updates had stats like our current name, final placement, and total YTD winnings? It seems like so long ago. That was way back [...]

Hi Airforcejoebob, Rather than host it yourself, you are hotlinking to the Arkansas image hosted on my site. Not only does this constitute you stealing bandwidth that I pay for, but it opens you up to automatically displaying whatever image I chose to title \”arkansas.gif\” and toss in my October 2004 image directory. Ever seen [...]
Read More...Yes, they look like pencil erasers because I\’m that happy to see you.
I love these days that get progressively colder as the hours tick by. You might think I\’m crazy, but I think the weather in Atlanta today is fantastic. It\’s been far too warm and annoying for the past couple weeks. Early this morning (4-5am) it rained like 6 sons of bitches, and when I walked [...]

I\’ll give you one guess as to what I\’m going to blog about today, and I strongly urge you to guess beer, because beer is what I\’m going to blog about today. Surprise!! All set? Let\’s get started. On Saturday, Ben, who also answers to the names Craig Rodney, Jack Shamrock, and Benyenyen, came over [...]
Read More...The reason to have a plan is so that you know exactly what you\’re screwing up
This has been the week of stuff that didn\’t really work out as planned. 1) My original plans for the mash tun bulkhead had to be changed after I learned that my plans were, in fact, not very good. 2) Then, after the first round of construction, the plans changed again to conform to instructions [...]
