Rambling

The other night my sister called me and in our conversation asked what I was gonna blog about that night. In all honesty, I didn't have a clue. That happens a lot. I sit down in front of the computer and my mind is blank. Then all of a sudden, I start typing.

I've been this way all my life. When assigned papers, I always waited until the last minute. I would start a term paper due on Monday on Saturday. I'd go to the library and do the research and start the outline. On Sunday, I'd write it in longhand and then wind up typing half the night. Sometimes my sister would help me. She typed faster than I did. This was pre-computer and correcting mistakes was a pain in the ass.

When I took English Comp 101 and 102 in college, I used to wrack my brains as to what I ws gonna write for an assigned paper. Then, I would sit in front of the typewriter and sonething would just come to me.

Blogging is a lot like that. Sometimes I'll think of sumpin' at work or see sumpin' on the Net. Sometimes I'll see sumpin' in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation. Or, there are nights like tonight when I'm not pissed off about anything and I have absolutely nothing to write about and I resort to a trick I used to use on essay tests. I just write a bunch of blithering bullshit.

I'm not Lileks so I don't have a cute little daughter to write about. I do have two cats, but they don't do much cute stuff. They pretty much lay around all day and lick themselves.

I did have this idiotic little girl with mush for brains who commented on a post I wrote a few months back. I could have posted her comments and ridiculed them, but I did that earlier this week to another booger eatin' moh-ron, and I would have wound up writing pretty much the same old shit.

Nothing much funny going on at work. See, it's really hard to write when nothing pisses me off. We're finally getting a new processor and I had to move some systems off one processor onto another so we could move that obsolete box out and have space for the new box. The move went entirely too smoothly. Nothing to bitch about there. Got the power moved for my last switch and I finished up my Reverse Synergy Hardware Non-Leveraging Project.

My readership is going way up. April was my best month ever.

All in all things are going just swell except for my health, but that's a topic for another night.

Don't forget Saturday Boobage.
