bicyclemark talks about the various forms of blogging

I was thinking of this Saturday, when I was on my way to MicroCenter and I was thinking about what I could capture on video.

I’ve done some audio

I’ve done some pictorials (sort of)

I’ve done some video

but at the end of the day I prefer the written word.

What’s good about the pictures and the videos and the audio is that you get a taste of the personality of that person, that you might have otherwise missed.

But I still think you get more soul with the written word.

Kinda like seeing the movie version of the book you read, it’s not the same. Isn’t the book always better?

I’m sure someday I’ll be shaking my fist in the air at one of my great nieces or nephews saying “In my day we had to blog with words, damnit. And it was better!” and then I’ll be asked to stop swearing in front of the kids and my opinion will be ignored.

the guest of honor was missing

Danielle came in at about quarter to six and started helping Lauren behind the bar even though she was only due to start at seven.

Danielle catches me watching her and flashed me a smile and asked “How are you doing?”

“I’m fine but how are you?” I replied. I’ll usually watch the barkeeps come in because right as they get there is the best time to judge their mood. Danielle looked her friendly self.

“Why do I seem like a moody bitch?” which is a tough question to answer but I’m daring at times and I’m also confident that my natural charm can get me out of jams so I answered.

“You do seem a little moody, but I’ve never seen you being a bitch”

“Yeah, I’m having a bad day but things will get better”

I let it go but later in between the conversations I was having I looked over at her and she looks at me and smiled, I smiled back and said “You almost had me believing that one”

“Yeah, but not quite?”

“It was close, though” I assured her.

Still later, when she filling the dishwasher, I glanced over at her and she met my gaze, I smiled at her and she smiled back but there was no heart behind and I said “You’re eyebrows are even higher, now” When Danielle gets irritated her eyebrows go up in the middle and down at the nose, usually it’s just her left one but sometimes she switches them up.

“Timmy you know me so well” she said as I got a real smile from her.

…

There were seven of us there which was a good turn out considering the guest of honor wasn’t even there

It’s cool when the barkeeps take care of me but it’s even cooler when they take care of my friends.

I'm just giving things a go

they told me to write this:

<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://www.pixparty.com/hosted/xml_Video.asp?id=3300'> </script>

But blogger didn't like that

so I got rid of the java stuff and I just linked like this:

<a target=external href="http://www.pixparty.com/hosted/xml_Video.asp?id=3300">trial</a>

and got this

trial

which works to a degree but...


I like this way better

better (me & the sunflower seed set to music)it's about 440K

Whatever...

I did this just because Regina did it

I do that sometimes




You are the large, round, friendly d20! (You probably didn't know this, but the shape of the twenty-sided die is called an Icosahedron.) You are the friendly, outgoing, outspoken, leader of friends. You are often looked up to, even though you don't normally deserve it. Most other types secretly wish they were you, and you'd give them tips on how, if only you had a clue yourself. Your charisma is often all you need, but you have your occasional moments of brilliance as well--just never when it's actually needed. You are the all-around good guy, a dependable chum, a respectable foe, and an inspiration to those who need one. Who says you can't get by on a smile and good looks alone?

we toasted the guy in absentia

we had a co-worker return to work after about three months away from the job

people had planned to take him out for a few drinks after work

he really didn’t want to returned home to the wife and kids hammered, so he took a pass

we went out anyway

yeah...

I'm a sucker

I sit by the large scale plotter at the first job, so crap gets printed right outside my cube.

I usually try to keep an eye out for what crap does get printed because somehow I'm in charge of ink and paper and making sure the plotter works.

Today someone starts printing this photo three feet wide by four and a half feet long. I know who is doing it, I know what job it is for, I'm not really interesting in either talking to the doer or talking about what he's doing so I make like I'm concentrating on my work.

The dude comes by to pick up his huge picture and he's dilly-dallying about which means he wants to talk. I stare at my computer screen and actually start this post in MicroSoft Word.

Like I'm writing some business letter.

Then I hear him sigh. Still I stare at my monitor, but I think I'm going to crack so, I make like I'm going to the men's room but on the way I happen to glace at what he has and he catches me.

Busted.

And I knew the job. I didn't have to look. If he was having problems enough to sigh about them, they were all his own.

So, he took the opportunity to engage me and I got the whole rundown of the job that I already knew about in addition to the new overhead photos he has access to which I already knew about.

Sometimes, my nose is too big for my own good.

I escaped when someone else was dragged into the discussion.

If..

if you ever wanted to see what it's like to be me, on a good day, pick a day when the you-me gets handed something like these

and this ain't no April Fool's Day deal

is this how today's going to be?

the Show is for showmen

me, I'm more of a private entertainer

old jokes

my friends are a riot

I'm a fool and not just on April first

I've been bringing in CD's to import them into iTunes on the company machine which is probably frowned upon but hey, I'm a rebel.

Today's titles: John Mellencamp - The best that I can do; Lyle Lovett - My baby don't tolerate; Kevin Welch - Kevin Welch; Kevin Welch - Life down here on earth; Sheryl Crow - c'mon, c'mon

iTunes lists the genre of your music for you. I bet I'm above the curve for folk.

minus man

the thing is I would rather have people have a lesser opinion of me.
