All I can think of is sleeping. Going to bed. Will post something interesting eventually.

More Catchy’s!

Jun 28 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

I’ve got one liners and two liners I use on a regular basis. You, too can be like Gregster – full of wit, humor and awkward moments. Try these responses on your friends when they ask the following questions:

Have you seen [insert famous hot chick name] lately?
Not really. She won’t talk to me anymore after that whole stalking incident.

You look tired.
I’m not tired. Strung out, perhaps.

When was the last time you went to the doctor?
Yesterday. It was awful. Doc says I have something called Sars. Ever heard of it?

Why the long face?
My short one is in the shop.

Any chance I can have you stop by my place and fix my computer?
Only if you stop by my place and pull weeds, mow the lawn, prune the shrubs and clean out the gutters.

How do you tell your twin cats apart?
One screams louder than the other when kicked.

Is it really necessary to have two robot vacuum cleaners?
Not really, but it’s fun to watch them bump into each other.

Do you want another drink?
Seeing as how I’m an alcoholic and the glass in front of me is empty, I suspect the answer will be yes. I’ll check with my people and have them get in touch with your people.

How come you don’t go to church on Sunday?
For the same reasons I don’t go to lectures on the existence of Extraterrestrial beings.

Skipped a day!

Jun 27 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

I skipped a day of posting to this site. That’s like sinning in Hell, right? Kinda bad, but really, you’re guilty of all sorts of other things, so it’s kind of moot. Right?

Gotta run.

Gregsta

UPDATE – 3:50am: I don’t like pizza, cake and soda. It makes me get up in the middle of the night and type blog entries and suffer heart burn. It’s like work, but with a little more pain and suffering thrown in there. Happy Birthday to cousin Emily and congrats to cousin Jacob on graduating High School. I wish I could sleep. Ugh.

I figured out how to make Turkey Burgers taste good.

Use a Meat Smoker.

20 minutes in the smoke box and a cooked the rest of the way on the ol’ searin’ grill. Mmmm, mmmm! Good stuff. Lets face it – ground turkey is pretty flavorless. Without some help, you might as well be eating a tofu burger with the added cruelty of a dead bird.

Betsy is in the final weeks of classes and begins her Externship soon. What’s an Externship? I’m glad you asked! An externship is like an internship – but instead of bringing the doctor coffee and watching other people work, you yourself are actually doing the job you were trained to do.

I’ve been trying to make my laptop, well, more portable – enabling Hibernate, cleaning things up so it runs faster, installing updates – you know, the kind of thing that one should do with their computer. I’m trying so hard not to be disenchanted with technology. So much of it right now has more to with so called Security rather than innovation.

I did have two wow moments today – I tried out Desktop HD video conferencing with two different services. Very neat stuff. I held a nearly hour long conversation with a guy in San Francisco over the internet and another for 30 minutes with a lady in San Diego. I’m still amazed at how well it worked.

The days are getting warmer (FINALLY). We’re biking more and enjoying a little more light into the evening these days.

Consistency

Jun 24 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

There is this realization that I’ve come to regarding the people I know: They’re all lunatics, including me.

While this realization doesn’t help me sleep at night per se, it does help me cope with the inherent oddness that is the people I know. This is where I would normally cite examples and more or less prove my point. Today, however, I’m in a “don’t feel like explaining it” mood.

Makes for a quick blog post. Hectic day today.

Riddle me this

Jun 21 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

Why is it that bicycles are so uncomfortable and require so much adjusting? The answer I seek is one of elitism or conspiracy theory. Anything else will be rejected as an explanation.

Going to try and make my bicycle comfortable today. Not sure how this is going to play out. I suspect either a trip to the spandex store or a purchase of a fat guy seat. Let’s pray for the latter.

Maybe I’m just a fat guy with a bony butt.

Ha.

Exhaustion

Staying home today. Watching DVR, blog posting, napping and doing whatever I want for a change. Only for a moment. Back to work tomorrow.

Quiet Sanctity

Jun 18 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

I’m sitting here in the home office, enjoying the breeze from the ceiling fan and some Toto on my noise cancelling headphones. It’s like being on a deserted beach with Wi-Fi.

Leaving the office early is fun. Particularly when you make a habit of going in early every frickin’ day.

The site has been devoid of any meaningful content for some time now. I thought this might be a good opportunity to talk a little bit about marriage, since old Gregster is getting married in August.

Call Betsy and I old fashioned, but we’re both troubled by some of the relationships we see today – polyamourous (aka swingers) seems to be the relationship du jour. I read an article on MSN that highlights the relationships of 9 different couples. Most of them were pretty standard, but the third one was just disturbing. Marriage is about commitment. Sleeping around isn’t commitment. Weak.

I for one look forward to this idea of committing. Most single guys avoid commitment. I guess I was wired to seek it out. When I was dating back in the day, I was looking for someone to settle down with. It’s still what I want. In the last few months of being legally “Single”, I’m excited about this next step in life. I’ve seen a lot of divorces happen over the years. I don’t see that in our future.

Perhaps I’m just a lucky individual that found the right person. Maybe it was fate. There’s even the possibility that it’s some combination of both. Whatever it is, I’m very grateful.

Tickets: Purchased

Jun 16 2008 Published by Greg under Uncategorized

It’s official: We’ve got our tickets to Costa Rica for our Honeymoon.

Now I just need to figure out where we’re staying. I hear the streets aren’t a great place to stay.

Gregsta: Fuera
