Break room BS

Today tomorrow & anywhere in between, nothing you say or do changes the day to day existence of those around you. Most things worth saying are rarely said whereas things to keep to yourselves are often spoken aloud. It's just a fact of life that the worst things possible rarely happen but the next to worse always happen. Life is full of surprises yet it often repeats itself so how are we always surprised? Just a little food for thought I suppose.

Work thoughts

Figured it's time to try out my work rants from my new location. Winco has been just fine to me, lots of memories of fun deli days of yore. One big memory floods to my brain though. I really don't want to do this for life. Nothing against those who do, but even still this just isn't for me in any kind of long term way. That being said, where do I go from here?

Blogger fail

Damn app for iPad has crashed. Am now subjected to an app designed for iPhone meaning crappy service for iPad user. Need to find something better or my posts will become shorter and shorter with no interesting pics or lengthy posts so so sad right now

So it is

Enjoying this new OS for my iPad. Another success feather in the cap of Apple. It seems crazy how far tech has advanced in a decade ya know. Well as a junky of all things new I must say I'm pleased with where we are at and I'm anxiously waiting to see where we will go next. Back to the moon? Naw that's too boring for modern man!

Speaking Freely

So what can be said? Speaking my mind comes naturally, but never out loud. I speak through my fingers as I type what I feel. I express using the written word in my texts that's how I keep it really REAL. Life is never easy but bottled up emotions keep things hard. Express for self expression do what you must to let them all see who you are. So always stay true and never forget to speak. With vocals With words In writing In song let your story ring out. Let everyone around get a chance to know who you really are. May they never miss out on the awesome uniqueness that is YOU.

Power On

The weight of the world on his shoulders, the struggle never quits. He keeps us steady upright and proper all the while no thanks given no praise bestowed. Why does he do it? No one truly knows, most in his situation would drop the giant ball that is this existence. Why do we pile on, adding more to this poor man's burden? Cuz we are evil bastards that's why.

Ready for the next challenge to move to grow. Work has begun and I can't wait to get into the full swing of things. Have a family to take care of and I refuse to drop the ball. If I prove myself and make real nice I can try and move up through the ranks. Who knows I maybe dragged back out to Vegas when they open the new store in 2012 but that's a distant idea for now. With that said on to DAY 2 and a much better tomorrow.

The circle seems to be closing

It May seem a bit crazy for me to say,  but a lot of people seem to be dropping lately. I mean yes I know people are born and die everyday, but I'm just seeing a wave a death hitting us. Everywhere I turn another death is being reported. Another life lost. Another mind vanquished. Yes it's all part of the grand plan, but what if the plan isn't all that it seems? We shall never know what is truly intended for us. Hell, it doesn't say anywhere that end the end we will even find out what we were meant to do. Frankly we just may never know. 
Honestly death isn't what frightens me at night, its the never knowing what could have been. Now we all fear the unknown, but this bit of unknown goes on unspoken. Think about all the millions of directions your life could have taken. Everyday is filled with choices that shape and change our existence. So ever wonder what might have been had a few just a few different choices had been made. Think about this, as few as 4 difference choices made by an individual can radically shape how said person would end up. So I'm saying One or Two early choices may be the deciding factor of whether you will be Rich or Poor and also help shape whether you die at 50 or 90. Life is all about choices, so I ask you are you happy with the choices you have made?

Football on the brain

Due to the untimely demise of Mr. Al Davis I'm thinking of all the weirdness that has transpired thus far in the NFL. For me being an Eagles fan this first quarter of the football year has been especially hard. 1 - 3 with the talent on the team is just completely unacceptable. Last in the East and looking up at Washington YES Washington in first in the division. This is going to be one weird ass year.
Another intriguing story are the teams from my beloved SF Bay Area. The surprising 49ers (3-1) and the never say die Raiders (2-2). Both showing a lot more potential then most believed at the start of the season. Heck I'll admit I had the 9ers dead in the water before the first kick off. Shocking to ke is they are one OT loss away from being 4-0 along with the defending champ Packers and the finally Mighty Lions.


Speaking of the Lions this team has proven themselves to me and I hope come Monday Night facing Chicago the rest of the nation will be shown these aren't the Lions we've all gotten used to. These are the Lions who finally perform up to the level expected for years and years. This talented group should have been winning for awhile now, but finally everything is coming not sync.
The fun thing on the year to me is seeing a defending Superbowl champion actually performing like a champion. The team crowned the best of the last year has returned and have continued to show they are the best.
The ultimate thing that comes to mind while watching the season thus far is this, "When Peyton is in, what exactly does the offensive coordinator do?". This year the Peyton-less Colts are showing just how important he is, because without him they are looking like one of the worst in the league. So that being said it makes you wonder why the offensive coordinator had a job when Peyton was healthy. Talk about the easiest job in the league.
Anyway can't wait until Sunday to see how some of these story lines work out for the weeks ahead.

Jobs 1955-2011

You shall never be forgotten...


Today we have lost a great innovator a modern marvel of technology AND marketing. Apple went from being the company Gates betrayed and was ready to kill to the company behind some of the best tech in history. The letter i has an entire new meaning thanks to Steve Jobs. iPhone iPad iPod iOS are the leaders in our modern day activities and though it took a large team to create it took 1 mind to envision. Thank you Steve for all you have brought to the world and we hope you have found peace amongst the greats. Your vision lives on and with every swipe of a finger to a screen your Legend will live on.

$£¥€

Back at it in the morning. Excited to finally be earning again, but nervous of what's to come. Not sure what to expect and have no clue as to the people I will meet. It's been awhile since my last grocery store crew and I can only hope this new batch of people will be as interesting, fun and genuine as the last. Not too worried have always been blessed with majority awesome co workers just hope to keep up that trend. Come 8am I should hopefully find out all the good and the bad which is to come in this new position.

Pettiness

We all have vices, things that infuriate us to our core, this is mine. Petty people petty acts just all around pettiness. It takes a small mind to do so many little petty annoying acts. Just thinking about it drives me crazy to the point I shake. Where is this thought process coming from you ask? It's really quite simple. It's Monday night therefore my wife had me watching the Bad Girls Club.... So much stupidity stuffed into one hour of television it is simply amazing. Why do these women EXIST?!?!?

What's old is new again

Love me some rock music. Fortunately two of my favorite bands released new albums this year.


Yes that right I ran out and bought Blink today and I must say I'm happy I did. Finally my truck is filled with sounds other then Foo Fighters or Eminem. I buy music rarely, but when I do invest I believe I make solid decisions as what would be worth listening to. What makes me sad is my change of taste these days.


Blink isn't the only former favorite to release new material, but my former faves brought forth material that, though honest to their original sound, I just didn't feel myself getting into. This being the fact has made me question has my taste completely changed with age. I used to live and die musically based on a handful of artists: Staind, ICP, Eminem, and a collage of works from the Offspring, Green Day, Chili Peppers, and Foo. Now looking at my traveling CDs (yes I said CDs! I refuse to fold to Steve Jobs and his world dominating devices of control! Written on my iPad) I only bring along things done by Foo Fighters, Eminem and now Blink. Staind and AFI formerly my favorite artists don't even come close to making the cut for non radio listening, oddly enough AFI fueled electronica group BlaqAudio makes the cute when I feel like dancing though. (side note: by dance I mean slide my butt back and forth in my seat. Ya know like a dog with a funky itch.) though I can still fake some Juggalo swagger I'm so far outside of the Psychopathic Family it's mind-blowing to ever think I was one of them.
I guess what it all breaks down to is, 30 is as farm from 20 as humanly possible so it's only sensible for tastes to change. What I must recognize is those changes don't mean I'm in any way a different person they I ever was. I'm still the one and only D and the young D is still in me. Oh also recognizing things change with age this will be the last post where I ever make any mention of my quote unquote SWAGGER. Never again shall I type any form of Swagger or Swag. I'm far to mature to speak of the swagga as it's an ignorant word to begin with. As most have retired CRUNK from their vocabulary let me be the first to start the death of SWAGGER.
