I feel like this weekend had some activity, but I’d be damn jiggered (or some other old-tyme-y word) to figure out what exactly. Some projects were done, some were not, some thoughts were hatched, some died on the ganglion, now what I got is not much.
But there is this web page, still a work in progress, I fear. Still and all, it’s good I have some promo started for:
Comedy for the Community, a fabulous evening of fabulous comedy for wonderful good causes. Seriously, it’s a fund raiser and M.’s brainchild. I’m emcee and talent getter.
It’ll be cool.
Other than that, I’ve been trying to think of some “goals” for 2006 for work. Apparently, per my boss, I’m going to have to raise the bar a bit on the new work year in defining myself. I should clarify that, I may need to raise the bar on the slacker aims I keep promoting. She wasn’t really going for the main goal of “keep a low profile and continue to earn a paycheck for a more or less honest day’s work.” For some unfathomable reason, there seems to be an air that I may be capable of more than just the barest minimum of toil. Yeah, whatever, potential, rational thought, yada yada.
well I meself as a minor cog in the great wheel of american commerce is an unmitigated sucess story

Thanks, Dave. But, I, alas, am not in a cog-gy type job. I’m working for the hopeful, mega-rich, philanthropicallly trying to help make the world a better place.
So, whilst you might be happy taking a half hour break on the shitter to read the news of the world, some of us will be setting goals. Probably won’t help, but it’s worth a shot.
news of the world never its run by that twat murdock and his media empire

save the planet as much as i can
and enjoy life
love and laughter
