I admit it. This blog is NOT consistent. What it is keeps changing. Right now, it's pretty much a place where I keep photos, videos, and links to websites that interest me. Before that, I wrote a few blogs myself and still do once in a blue moon. But most of the stuff before the links are just reprints of articles I found interesting.

Can wisdom and entertainment coexist in cyberspace? When is a game more than a game? Does an arcade feature need an introduction? Ask Duke.

MY LIFE: A take on my daughter's insanity
Me: "You know if you weren't my daughter, I'd think you were totally and completely insane. Instead of just partially."
Daughter: "Well, you know what?"
Me: "You are my daughter?"
Her: "Yeah! So cope and deal!"

CULTURE/SOCIETY: Kids, cleaning and responsibility
It's so nice to get work done without kids around. The only reason to have kids help when you're doing housework is to teach them responsibility! They are ABSOLUTELY NO help!

MY LIFE: A simple question about laundry asked out of annoyance!
If things, even after they've been washed, dried and FOLDED, still end up in the dirty clothes, why can't we just toss them? Instead of continually wasting time, water and electricity rewashing and redrying stuff that ends up never getting used, since they automatically end up in the dirty clothes and are NEVER used! Yes, I'm annoyed and frustrated!

MY LIFE: Adding some woo hoo to a co-workers life
Me: "You know what tomorrow is?"
Co-worker I've teased about being grumpy: "No."
Supervisor: "What's tomorrow?"
Me: "It's Friday! Woo hoo!"
Co-worker: (deadpan to supervisor) "The woo hoo's the important part."

POLITICS: George Takei on "gay marriage"
Plus, "gay marriage" sets the bar too high. Guests expect a champagne fountain with Liza emerging from it or something.

MY LIFE: Apparently, my daughter does not have eyes!
Me looking at 4 bags of empty pop cans and an overflowing garage can of recycling: "You need to take these cans and recycling out so I can clean the kitchen floor."
Daughter: "Well, no one told me it needed to go out!"
Me: "You don't have eyes?"
Daughter: "Well, no one told me it needed to go out!"
Me: "You don't have eyes?"
