Austin, TX. That’s where I intend to move. Very soon.

Every time I get down about my weight, I want to...
It is a vicious circle. I’m the same way. It’s all about mindset. When you get that urge, go do something where there’s no food. Actually, when you get that urge, go for a walk. Even just like 20 minutes. And drink a big glass of water.
And for me, I’ve found it’s best not to do diets that deny you foods. Just learn portion control. The Weight Watchers point system...

Can't Sleep
I was lying here in the dark and my ex-wife popped into my head. It was her birthday last week. Maybe that’s why. It occurs to me that it’s been 8 years since I’ve seen her. I have trouble recalling what she looks like. She’s short. 4’11”. And had big blue eyes. But I can’t for the life of me draw a picture in my mind of what she actually looks like.
Is...

Seems like you’ve got too many irons in the fire. Start weeding those things out. I’d start with the prescriptions and work your way down to just alcoholism.

You get caught up in this idea of happy...
Of being happy, of making someone else happy, but I’ll warn you now: It’s a trap.
Wilco is playing the Cain's Ballroom on May 8th
which means one of two things, I will either be seeing Wilco at my favorite venue or I will have moved out of Oklahoma by the beginning of May.
History points to me moving because I tend to move away and miss shows that I really, really want to see. I could make a list of them, but it’s pointless. Just know that a list exists.
On the other hand, anyone want to go see Wilco at the...

I used to tell people
that I once had a phone conversation with Dana Brunetti.
Now I can tell people I once had a phone conversation with Oscar-nomintated, Golden Globe winning producer Dana Brunetti.
Congrats to THE SOCIAL NETWORK for giving me the ability to name-drop on a grander scale.
(For the record, I don’t think Dana remembers the call. It was almost 10 years ago when Triggerstreet.com first started...

If there could be only one cartoon, what would you...
Are we talking about a cartoon series or an animated movie?’
This question actually requires more thought than I care to put into it, so let’s say if it’s a movie, Disney’s ROBIN HOOD and if it’s a series, ANIMANIACS which also includes Pinky and the Brain.

Awesome news. Watch both videos at the link. Thank goodness there are people willing to challenge authority like this.
It’s good he didn’t put the camera down, because it’s clearly evident that he did nothing wrong. It was the TSA and the cops “causing a scene” as they put it…creating a scene as I saw it.
Yeah.
These things that you make cannot be unmade.

Hmm. Excellent question. I’d say Cobain, just to see where he was going next, if he could’ve evolved over time.

Today's Customer of the Day (So far...)
Not as infuriating as yesterday’s, but a bit perplexing.
I’m covering both tools and hardware today. I get a call from the paint associate and she asks if I can come to the hardware desk. When I get there she hands me two keys (while the customer gives me a concerned stare) and says “These two keys were made with a bunch of other keys. They don’t work. She doesn’t...

You're the one that said to ask you questions. I...
Or you know, asking the same question more than once. Or asking a question that doesn’t have an answer which you’ll accept. Yeah, those things kind of annoy me. I’m fickle, I suppose.

Figments of your imagination speak to you through...
Yes. And sometimes, Jesus appears to me on my tortilla.
Are you seriously trying to make me validate a statement like “Twitter girls aren’t real”?
Why aren’t they real? Because I just said it.
Why aren’t you real? Because your parents were cousins.
Why aren’t I real? Because I have to be up for work in less than three hours and yet I’m sitting here...

Why do you always say twitter girls aren't real?
Because they are not. They are figments of my overactive imagination.
Is it ironic that I imagine people who end up hating me? I mean, I get that enough in real life.
I’m a glutton for punishment. I goddamn glutton for punishment.

other than sfmmhy what other words are not...
I stand corrected. I recognize ALL of those words as English, but I still have no fucking idea what that statement is supposed to mean. What’s with all the hyphens? And I’m not living vicariously on Twitter. That’s the real part. Everything else is fake.

I realize I'm a liberal in a conservative state...
but today at work, this old hillbilly dude comes up and asks if I can help. I say sure and ask what he needs. Seems his problem is a week or so ago, he bought some cedar pickets for $.89 and now he wants some more and they cost $1.49 each. And he’s pitching a fucking fit.
So, I tell him to come with me and we’ll go talk to the manager of that department to see what’s going on....

THe best time to go to the dentist is tooth-hurty.
No, I mean, it feels like my gums have receded and the bottom of my tooth is exposed at the root. It’s kind of freaking me out.
