Hacking

Wonderful to know that in our computer dominated genre, I can find a word which has a meaning not related to computers. Hacking, as in, I am hacking up a lung. 7 days of diaphram drama. My esophagous would be elated were I able to ebb the caustic coughing currently causing me pain. A cold? I think not. This is some sort of sinister swine flue, some creeping crud, a very villainous virus. My throat bleeds for you.

Progressing Backwards

And so it goes with relationships in my experience. The longer they last the more complicated they get. Progressing backward. I'll give you an example, purely hypothetical of course.

Let us say you have been married for some period of time, a long time. Something that you may have failed to consider on the altar (or the Justice of Peace's shag carpet) was the problematic implications your future in laws represented. Let us say you eventually come to find you cannot stand the sight of them nor they you. Let us say you live near them. Let us say your spouse insists upon your comingling. Let us say you tell your spouse that you will never step foot in your in-laws house again. Let us say progressing backward.

I assure you, as best I can in a 'hypothetical' scenario such as the above, the ramifications of such a statement are tantamount to tsunamis and hurricanes, earthquakes and volcanoes, happening simultaneously on 4 continents and 357 channels worldwide. The simple fact is one has to weigh the requests of a spouse over trivial, egotistical, pig headed bravado. Of course bravado wins.

Time Flies

The days go by. 6 days since my last blog and I feel like it has been an hour. Work is consuming me. Ok that is a complete lie. Work is cake. Everquest has been consuming me. I really should get on some sort of medication for it.

So the real reason for my delayed posting is to protest the choice by Sports Illustrated to make Tom Brady Sportsman of the Year. Seriously, the guy is on the path of aging. Not to say he isn't great but seriously, Peyton is the man. Broke the touchdown record last year and this year is leading his team to an undefeated season. And the unequaled domination of his sport by one Roger Federer makes me feel like S.I. is just making up for all the years they put Tom Brady on their overrated list. But enough about that, Brady and the Pat's bore me about as much as Trading Spaces.

Last night I had the pleasure of watching The Triangle and it was very, very good. The actors aren't overdoing it too much and who doesn't love the Count Chocula eating Eric Stoltz? If you have time to check it out tonight I highly recommend it. Part one plays at 7pm cst, followed by part two at 9pm cst. Of course it will be replayed and replayed and replayed because, ya know, its cable.

Time does fly, lunchtime already.
