Day 57: A Post A Day (Hump Day Sunday)

Sunday.  It’s no longer the new Monday for me.  Now it is hump day, the mid point of my work week.  And here I am, sitting in front of my monitor eating mints and drinking coffee.  Because I am like that.  Isn’t today Super Bowl Sunday?  I don’t know.  I’m not a huge sports fan so I have no idea what is happening in the world of sports today.

So what about you?  How are you doing?  You know that I am always interested in what you have to say even if it appears that I am ignoring you.

I don’t know, I think that I’ll be getting a new tripod for my camera soon and perhaps some additional strobes or flashes.  I haven’t decided yet.  I also need some new lenses but they are pricey so it’ll be a while before I get around to new lenses.  Now that I think about it, I could use some more radio triggers for my strobes.  Ugh, and I also need a new photo printer because the one I have now always has banding even though I have cleaned it and aligned the print heads.

Wow, now that I think about it there is a lot of camera gear that I need or could use.  Don’t even get me started on bicycle gear because that is a whole other animal.  At least when it comes to my current cycling needs it is a case of want and not a true need for anything.  But if I absolutely have to I can convince myself that I “need” a new bicycle.  But enough about me, what about you?  What do you need?  Is there anything that I can do for you?  Just ask.  I am here for you.  This is a two way street after all, I don’t want to come across as selfish or overbearing.  Talk to me.  Don’t hold it in.

Okay, I’ll back off for now.  Remember, Sunday is no longer the new Monday.  And black is always black.  There is no such thing as red or some other color being the new black.  And no, forty is not the new thirty.  It is what it is.

Facebook Page: In Pursuit of Viral (Or 15 Minutes)

Shah!  Imagine that, my pretty mug graces the cover of a real life Facebook page called, “Can This Tech Support Agent get more fans than Pat Robertson?“  It was the brainchild of my good buddy Agent K and we are currently trying to surpass Pat Robertson in the number of fans this page can bring in.  Come check it out and join in the fun as we attempt to make history or at least waste time at work!

Help me in my quest to achieve my 15 minutes of fame and then turn that into a blossoming political career or even better, help me to land a drive time radio show of my very own.  Oh god, I am giddy with the possibilities.  But wait, there’s more.  Sign up in the next 10 minutes and receive free membership to the exclusive website, google.com.

Day 56: A Post A Day (Dreaming)

I had a vivid dream in which I was hanging out with co-workers and in the dream we weren’t doing anything fantastic, we were just hanging around like we usually do.  So I woke up and went to work and when I ran into one of the people who had been in my dream I told them how realistic, if not pedestrian, the dream was.  But just now I was in the bathroom getting ready for work when I realized that both episodes were two different dreams that I just had last night.  I’m pretty sure that this post is real but I won’t know for sure until later.

Day 54: City of Heroes Revisited

On Patrol In The City of Heroes

There I was, flying high above Paragon City, keeping a sharp eye out for evildoers.  Tonight I was focusing my efforts on the Steel Canyon neighborhood and making sure the Outcasts weren’t out hassling the citizens.  So yeah, I’m a superhero so unlike the local cops I have a reputation to protect and I need to carry myself with a little dignity.  And the dignity part is hard to muster up when you’re out in public wearing a latex bodysuit that shows off your junk.  If you get my meaning.

In addition to staying in shape to fight the bad guys, I am forced to adhere to this ridiculous diet so that I keep my body fat down below 2% because believe me, one little ounce of fat shows right through my costume.  But I gots to admit that I have a nice ass and well sculpted body so I don’t really mind prancing around like a little Nancy boy.  In fact, I like it.  I like it a lot.

In Vanity We Trust

But I digress.  As I was saying before, I spent the evening out in Steel Canyon and nothing much was going on so I took the liberty of cornering a couple of lower level Outcasts and kicked the shit out of them.  They’re laid up in the intensive care unit and I must say that I’ll be very surprised if they ever walk again and the prognosis is equally grim on whether or not the will ever eat solid food again.  High five!

I did it all in the name of truth and justice, and fuck it, I was stronger than they were so I figure they had it coming.  Well folks, I’m hungry.  All that flying around sure do work up an appetite.
