Black Eyed Peas

I can't get enough of Black Eyed Peas (the band, not the food). I just keep listening to the first two tracks off of "Monkey Business" over and over and over. I'm probably driving everyone around me crazy. I'm like that with any song(s) that I like though. I just listen to it over and over until I can't stand it anymore. I have an addiction to music I think. Previous victims: "Hey Ya" by OutKast and "Duality" by Slipknot.

Garmin eTREX GPS

I received some marketing package today from some software company with a compass and an invitation to visit their website If I filled out a form answering questions about my job, I would receive a free Garmin eTREX GPS. I filled the form out 3 times before it offered to give me my new toy. I wonder if its random, or based on your form responses, or some other criteria. But it is apparent that not everyone gets one, unless of course they are persistent like me. Anyway, now I have to just sit back and wait and see if it actually shows up.

My Dumbest Argument

For some reason today I remembered an argument I had with someone many years ago. Lets just say that time is currently 3:45. They said something about it being 4:00. "No, its 3:45" was my reply. They came back with, "Well, its 4:00 somewhere". ME: "No its not" THEM: "Yes it is, somewhere its 4:00" ME: "No, it might be 4:45 somewhere, but it's not 4:00" THEM: "Yes it is. It is 4:00 somewhere" ME: "What are you talking about? If its 3:45 now then its "something 45" everywhere...the minutes are the same, its only the hours that change as you move across time zones" THEM: "It's 4:00 somewhere" Ok, fine whatever. You want to be right so bad that you are totally abandoning all common sense.

Winders

I needed to reinstall a program on my computer at work today. I went to Add or Remove programs to uninstall it first. It took 2 hours to load the list of currently installed programs. It started at 7:40 and ended at 9:35. Nice work Bill, slap your programmers on the back for me. If my computer was making a little detour to fix something or gather some data that isn't typically needed, how about a nice little status bar or some type of warning. Two hours? Really? Yes.

Like Father Like Son

My dad and I live about 150 miles apart. I called him on Fathers day only to find out that we had both gone to the same restaurant for Fathers Day lunch, in our respective towns. And we each ordered the same thing, the Fathers Day special all-you-can-eat ribs for $9.99, and we ordered the same sides, french fries and beans. Spooky.

Great Fathers Day Gifts
