Kelly posted on my Facebook wall today and ordered me to post in my blog.
I'll do far more than that. I'll give the thing a new look because it looks too....Picasoesque during his Blue Period. It's time to spice it up with some color, or at least make it happier looking. Since I haven't had work for the last two days (grrrr...), and I probably won't go in tomorrow until mid-morning, I'll be "productive."
Also today I'll do a shoutout to Bob. I really can't remember if I've mentioned Bob in a previous post, but I'm way too lazy to use the search function.
Here goes.
Bob or R.A. Salvatore (Robert), for those that don't know, is an author of my favorite book series: The Drizzt Do'Urden Novels. Take the concept of racism and marinate it in a fantastical setting sauce, sprinkle it with sword fighting and magic, and you'll get the idea. Drizzt (pronounced Driz-It Dough-uhr-Den) is a drow (or Dark Elf) who grew up in an underground society where everyone is a totally evil selfish asshole. You really get the picture when you learn that the society is matriarchal (Of course this is fiction because women are inferior and would never rule over us awesome Manly Men) and they worship spiders. Think black widows. (Note: I hate those damn spiders. Frakkin' creepy as Gordon Liddy. Anyways, he battles his way and kicks some total ass and emerges onto the surface of the world and tries to be a nice guy, but the rest of the world just won't accept him because he's a dark elf (He's basically black, see the connection?)
Yes. I'm a geek at times. You can go fly a kite for all I care, because when it comes to reading, you don't mess with the Zohan. Anyways, I've been reading Bob's novels ever since Aaron Clay got me into them when I started working at Sears. Aaron's black and always tells me that we need to stick it to the man (and that I need to get darker via the sun for that matter) so it kind of makes sense that he'd be reading them. A-Klay 47, if you're reading this, Love yooooooouuuuu ;)
Bad news bears lately. I lost my phone charger. Thanks to Brian for lettin' me borrow his spare phone and charger, but I'm really missing my old phone. My ringtone on this phone sounds like the Bounty commercial and Chris Bundick(olas) likes to give me crap for that.
Hmmmm, only one month and 21 days till I can apply for Sealift Command. I'm pretty stoked about it still and any time a show about ships, freightors, or shipping comes on Discovery I'm awatchin' it.
Also some neat things. I've been thinking a bit more about graphic design as a fallback plan. I've been dabbling with the Photoshop arts since Junior year of high school and it's come in handy lately. I've had a few highly-motivated people in certain A&M organizations ask me to create logos and such. One girl mentioned that I should really look into doing it professionally.
Hmmmm... We'll see. Maybe I'll just take some classes randomly and see where I can go from there. Maybe a bit of freelance work from time to time? Maybe I'll do it for like 10% less than other companies are asking. Oh well.
Ok, well I'm doneskis for now with this post....I'll do my best to post more often.
With our powers combined,
Captain Phil
