Bowling Stories

The latest craze at work is to call your coworker a midget. It all started one day when Dan and I were working and...
...and thats why the whole shop now call each other midgets.

I was picking up a delicious pizza the other day and my old manager was there...
...and thats how I came to deliver pizzas a couple nights a week again.

There I was, balls...

I was sitting at the computer...
...Isnt it funny what pets will do?

Gotta Catch em All

Im pretty sure I have a problem. The problem is that I cant have enough friends on Facebook. Its gotten to the point that Ill approve someone who I dont remember if asked to be friends.

25 Things About Me #7-10

• I hate racism. It bothers me when people assume they know things about people based solely on their appearance and I try to take a stand whenever I can. Not just to let the people know that they are bad people but to let them know that stereotypes arent always, and in fact are very rarely correct.


• I hate when people feel that they have to live up to stereo types. If you happen to fit a stereo type, fine. Just dont think that youre limited to it.


• I discriminate against people. I dont treat heterosexual adult white men the same way as I treat everyone else. I have the white mans guilt and am terrified that anything I say or do will be construed as discriminatory so I treat people not like myself better then I would treat those who are like me.


• I like to joke about racism. Not make jokes about people because of their race. Rather I make jokes about treating things differently because of something they cant control.

What do you call a French Canadian who flys a plane? A pilot, you racist.

Im Hungry, Im Dirty, Im Losing my Mind

Work has been really slow lately. Im not making as much as I used to. The days take a lot longer.

Were going camping in a couple weeks. Im so excited. I cant wait to get away from everything and just sit around and do nothing. Its going to be great to swim in lake Charlevoix. Its going to be great to burn things.

Im still torn about what to do for a computer. I really want a MacBook but I really want to not spend a gazillion dollars on a computer. The main reason I want a Mac is because they arent as susceptible to viri. I also really like iPhoto and the rest of the iLife suite. Now from what I understand, Windows has something similar and I could always download Picasa and do it Google style. I dont know much about either of those though so if you use any of them tell me what you think.

My boss doesnt know how to approve vacation time in the computer. This worries me.

25 Years and My Life is Still

Its my birthday in a couple days. Ill be 30 years old. 30 isnt old. Its just strange to think that I wont be in my 20s anymore. I already had a mid life crisis about 10 years ago when I bought leather pants and a 2 door convertible. Its also hard to believe that Ive been with Jaime for 1/3 of my life.

Its time for a new computer. The computer Im using now is the computer Jaime and I got when we first got married. Two summers ago we got a used computer from a guy at work but that puked out on us in February. The old Gateway is still chugging along with its 256MB of ram and 1.6GHz processor but she doesnt like running more then 2 programs at a time and the sound isnt working. Im hoping to get a MacBook Pro and one of those fancy wireless Mighty Mouses.

64tacos almost went the way of Katohater.com. Renewal time came along and I realized I hadnt posted here in nearly 3 months. In the end I decided to give it another year. TheDeVrieses.com is hosted on the same server so I would have had to get rid of  that as well if I didnt renew and that was the deciding factor.

Living in someone elses house is a very difficult thing to do.

I love the water. We went out on Lake Michigan and it was beautiful. Water for as far as the eye can see. I cant wait to go camping. Hopefully well be able to fit it in this summer.

I got a fancy new phone. I have the new Blackberry Storm and it is awesome. I can connect to any form of communication that I already use all in one pocket sized device. Im pretty sure its going to get me fired because I just want to play with it all day at work.

Thats what she said.
