Well it looks like a 180 [meaning: it’s “turned around” thus 180 degrees would be completely turning around to the opposite direction…right, you knew that] from the last one I posted…this one actually makes sense!

I thought it would be a good idea to tear my room apart -a yearly event- and reorganize. I come so close to getting it just how I want, but one little thing will still tick me off. This time I decided to go big. So far, I am happy…but it still looks like a few bombs went off and there was an explosion of CDs, computers and clothes. It needs a little work but I should be done soon. Hell I might even get crazy and post pictures! After all it is a freaking palace…right, large box equals a palace in my world.

“You’re ready to focus on more practical things now — like your home. Of course, that can mean one of several things. You may want to do an entire makeover of a room, for example, from the ground floor up. But you may also be thinking about moving. Either way, you’ll be happy to pull out all the stops and do it up big. Don’t stop yourself. It’s time to make changes, both inside and out.”

You know, sometimes I think the people that write horoscopes have bad days too. Like writers block; but more of a “I just want to f**k with people today” type of moments. What the hell does this mean? Will I get fired today only to find out it’s a joke? When in reality I see the joke before the first move and in retaliation for the humor one year later I fire someone…but I really mean it? This world is just crazy sometimes.

“This isn’t the best time to play the perfect April Fools’ trick on you — but that may not stop the pranksters. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should let them have it, even though you might want to — and don’t confide that sentiment to a coworker, either. Hang onto the inspiration. Then next year at this time, you can play a prank on them and not be accused of trying to get even. After all, who’d suspect you after that long?”

Worth a mention, good for a laugh

TGIF…it’s a “feature” day at BD@BS!! I missed a few Friday’s but I have a good list so shush your mouth…on with the sideshow!

Blogger Status – For those that do not know there is a web page to explain (in tech-speak) all the crazy stuff that goes on with Blogger. I have read a few blogs where people are asking “WTF [What The F**k] is up with Blogger?!!?” well…here you can find out. :)
Blogger Buzz – Some additional info on Blogger and the blog community. (think the old dashboard posts)

Dead Guy – Cartoons!!
I’m An Intern In New York
Day Old – might be a little too non-PC for some.
cityrag – I spent a few hours on this site the other night…just good reads.
Brooks Blog – a photographers blog – I love b/w photos…so I spent a lot of time looking through the archives. There are a few semi-nude shots so it might not be work friendly. Most of the pictures I saw would be fine while at work. Just a heads up :)
An Amber-Colored Life – You might know her from the Online Dating Diaries and you might not. Either way it’s a good read :)

I know you hate me for back-posting; but it’s tough love…really. This week became a little busy for me so I had only had time to publish my featurette because it’s all saved as draft posts. Hopefully things will be calm today at lunch and I can finish this post and dish out a few more.

Cheers

I’ve been gambling

I had Friday off last week and I spent it with my parents…at the casino! Who needs to go to church on Good Friday when you can go the the “other” church: the casino. After all there are a few prayers said, you are kinda donating to someone and if you lose your butt you could have to go on a pilgrimage to find food…money. Okay, maybe you’ll just be more thankful. Whatever! Anyway…you sorta have a religious experience.

I ended up losing a few dollars here and there; nothing to complain about. I was there for 13 hours; 9 of which I was playing poker. Can you say “addict”? Good! I am addicted to poker like noooo tomorrow. A have a few friends that play and there are about 3 house games a week I can play in on a regular basis. So far in house games I am up $5 so I can’t complain. As for the casino I am out a little more then $5…okay a little more then $50. :) I’ll have an actual story to tell after I go again this weekend. Last weekend’s story wasn’t too exciting. Blah…no really I’m not bitter.

What else?

Well I did pick up my tickets for Michael Buble two weeks ago. Did I get good seats you ask? Yes I did; 6th row center! Woohoo!! Needless to say I am pretty pumped about that.

I think I am going to a few mini-shows for Tamara Bedricky next month. She is playing at Borders then in May she is playing a big show at The Magic Bag (Ferndale, MI)…needless to say my butt will be there! If you have been reading my blog for a bit you know that I love her music and I highly recommend you buy her CD. In fact, I might start charging admission to read my blog; the fee being a prof of purchase from her CD. Okay, that’s overboard…but really check her out. She’s been on tour to random places around the US; usually small shows -but listed on her website. If she’s in your area take a peek. :)

Nothing bad, nothing nutty…just typical life stuff for now.

And now a few random quotes I found on Match.com yesterday that I thought were too damn funny.

Weird…when I post the quotes the text gets all messy in my blog. Sooo just go to the link and read at your leisure! :)
