News

Today is No News Is Good News Day! Given the history of today, I'm still unsure if this holiday would have been created before or after the events of 9/11. The phrase is to be taken to say that if no news comes, then that in itself is good news. I suppose in a way, that it's true. Seeing as, if you have a project that you've assigned people to and no one ever comes to you with news (aside from "It's done"), then the project must be going well. Either that or your employees are too scared of you to mention anything that does go wrong. The same can be said for media news. If it's a slow news day, it's probably a pretty good day over-all.

With that said, it has been a decade since the 9/11 events, so take some time out of your day to remember and honor all of the people that were affected that day.

Does Not Compute

Today is Swap Ideas Day! Look at this!

That's my broken-as-all-get-out desktop PC. I've taken it on a journey to one my very tech-savvy friend's houses for him to tell me what on earth happened to it. See, I came home one day and it was off (as per the norm), except this time, it wouldn't turn on. Well, it would, but only for a few seconds. So today, me and my bud are going to be swapping ideas on what exactly went down. And by swapping ideas, I mean that he'll tell me what happened, and I will say "Hmmm...", nod my head understandingly, then ask "So what does that mean?".

Bear Necessities

Today is Teddy Bear Day! Teddy Bears are an important part of any person's childhood. They are friends, guardians, and don't mind being pillows every now and then. Almost everyone I know has a bear or some sort of stuffed animal that they cuddled when they were younger. I had a plethora of stuffed animals when I was young, but few have had quite the amount of memories as a certain bear has shared with me. Potato Joe (Seen below at a bear-friendly dance club) has shared most, if not all, of my journeys to places.

He gets a little CRAZY sometimes

Potato Joe has quite the tale to tell. One of my close cronies, Meagan has a birthday two days apart from mine. As it so happened, our birthdays or, even more often, the day in between them fell on a church day. So we would celebrate by a present-swap. However, my senior year of high school, I went on a trip to colorado with the rest of my class during the week of our birthdays! GASP!

So, we decided that the saturday I got back, we would make up for breaking our annual tradition by spending the entire day together, filling it with whatever activities we could find. So from 8am-really late, we went to malls, restaurants, parks, and all sorts of time-filling activities such as Apples to Apples (We had more people by then, don't worry). The most important and memorable event, however, was the spur of the moment decision to wander into Build-A-Bear.

It was decided that we would make matching bears, so we first looked at clothes. We found the best  option were the denim overalls/dress. It was therefore decided that they would be farmers/artisans. Potato Joe and Sweet Pea (Seen below discussing how her farmville is far more efficient than yours) were born. Potato Joe now rides in my car in the back middle seat, since he swears it's the safest, and enjoys all the places I take him to.

"Look, have YOU ever had a farm? No? Okay then."

What's your bear, and how did you get him/her?
yeah that's right I'm turning tables and making you tell a story.
