Success Warrior: The Blog That Embraces ADHD

Saturday Video

So,

I had already created this to post at 6pm so that it was coordinated with the rapture but I think that my computer had other ideas while hacking and coughing on its deathbed.  Had the doctor over today who said that the hard drive may be shot.  He took the computer with him for further testing.  I should have the results on Monday.  Pray for my computer (which doesn't have a name and that is is not like me).

In the meantime, enjoy what should have posted at 6pm but didn't because my post was raptured up to heaven.  The rest of us will just ahve to ride out the Christian storm.

14 hours and what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt.

Made a huge debt and still feel like there is an incredible amount of work left to do.  What a vacation!

I did find out something that I'll pass on you.  Not only does the Axe Detailer clean your dirty balls but it also takes paint off skin.  I haven't tried the rougher side because I'm afraid that it takes skin off of muscle.

A cherry on the day is the fact that my computer has died.  So, I'm using my wife's laptop for this and I hate using the laptop because I always bump the little mouse square thingy which sends my cursor off somewhere else to type.

With that, I'm going to call it a night.  Busy day tomorrow.  I have a hell of a lot more painting to do and a 6 O'clock appointment to meet Jesus.  Do you think TSA is going to harass him?  He does fit the profile of a terrorist.

A Day of Uninterrupted Interruptions

 
So,

My first day of painting was more about not painting.  I want to say that it was crazy but I think that's probably just how my life goes but it's very noticeable when I actually have a huge project to do where it would be nice to have an hour or two of uninterrupted time.

Not that the day was a complete loss.  I just didn't get as much done as I was hoping. 

I am thinking that tomorrow should be much better and Saturday should be very productive.  Tia and I worked on doing some prep work for tomorrow but there's a lot more to be done.  Hopefully by tomorrow night, everything is set to go through in one last swoop on Saturday (well, probably Sunday too for a second coat). 

I thought I was going to have to sue the maker of my couch tonight.  I have vaulted ceilings and in the living room, I have this bay area that is also vaulted.  I bought a ladder for this project so that I can reach my vaulted ceilings but this ladder is too big for the little alcove area.  The step that I have been using to reach the corner where the wall meets the ceiling at the short end was too short for the alcove area.  So, I went to baby bear's step ladder and it was just right.

Dude!

Seriously.

No, actually what I did was this little circue de soleil  thing where I had one foot on window sill and one foot on the back of the couch, which has been moved a considerable distance away from the wall.  It worked perfectly until I needed to move.  As I shifted my weight to the head rest of the couch to take a step forward, it nearly tipped over.  I finished painting and then checked for warning labels on the couch and there isn't one that states that a person should not walk on the back of the couch so I think I would have had a case.

Anyway, time for some sleep so I can get up and do it all again tomorrow.

Plan B

The day did not go as planned but one thing hasn't changed . . .

Happy Birthday Trey!

Combo Day

 
So,

Tomorrow is going to be one of those days where we go to town and cram as much into one day as we possibly can and attempt to do so without any undue stress.  We'll start with a doctor visit and then hit the hardware store and then play for the rest of the day in celebration of the birth of our son (celebrating a day early). 

The original plan was to do things like play miniature golf and batting cages.  It's supposed to rain tomorrow.  Natch.  So, we'll be looking for indoor options of those activities.

There will, of course, be pictures.

Kit Shickers?

 
So,

We are getting ready to head out for another baseball game so I'm going to have to pose a couple of questions to you about something I saw in the news headlines and then we are out the door.

1. Have you ever seen or heard of these?
2. Would you ever (without monetary or other incentive) wear them?

 
Apparently, these are an example of the more tame kind of pointy boots.  Others have been bedazzled, have flashing lights, or have other ornamentation like butterflies and belt buckles.  The article I read said that you can't pick up chicks in one city in Mexico unless you are wearing the "pointy boots."  Ladies, I think there might be some compensating goin' on there.

That's why I wear VFFs.  ;)

7th Day; 7 Words

 
Only two days left until break time!

Leave your seven words in the comments.

Saturday Video

So,

In one of my discussions about whether or not John Stuart Mill would think the killing of Osama bin Laden would be considered moral, a fellow classmate pointed out that I forgot to factor in that the United States government is bringing democracy to the Middle East.  My response:

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha.  Good one. <wipe tear>

Spring "Break"

 
So,

I took my other test today.  Philosophy.  It actually took me near the entire 2 hours available to complete, which is unusual for me.  It was an essay test though and, well, me and words are tight, y'all.  I feel like I nailed it.  I was all kinds of stressed last night with the "foul, foul, filth, and foul" as I once again tried to figure out what the hell Aristotle was talking about and, more importantly, trying to figure out how to apply his 2,000 year old start-and-stop, sometimes circular, exemptions for the rich and politicians, theory of morality to today's ethical concerns.

I feel like I nailed the test but I don't really know.  I'm not even sure when grades will be out.  I'm not sure that it matters other than for the sake of curiosity.

I have two weeks off from school now so it's party time. 

To start my party, I'll be doing my weekend thing at work for the next few days where all I do is work and sleep.  However, after that, it's going to be party time.  We'll be celebrating Trey's seventh birthday next week.  He has chosen to go with the same plan as last year.  Miniature golf, go-carts, video games, and this time, we'll be adding in the batting cages.

I am actually going to take a week off from work too.  What kind of fun do I have planned for my week off from school spooned with a week off from work?  I'm going to repaint the interior of the entire house.  Yay!

Maybe even tear out all the old flooring to make way for new flooring. 

No promises there though.  Let's see how the painting goes first.

M-Spam Taken To New Heights

 
So,

In the category of, "So sadly ironic that it must be business as usual in Washington DC," the Great and Powerful Oz is setting up a new PLAN that will allow him to send a text message to everyone with a cell phone.  The battle against spam is an ongoing problem and the president is jumping in on the side of evil.  No surprise there really but doesn't he have better things to do with his time like play another round of golf or plan the next illegal war or something.

The president is just following through on the nefarious plot of his handlers, doing exactly what they (and I) expect of him, so I won't malign him today.  Instead I will turn my attention to the media, which has given up all pretense at attempting plausible spin. 

The LA Times had this piece of shite in their article, like phone carriers were doing us a favor:

"Consumers do not need to sign up for the service; their carrier will automatically sign them up, and they won't be charged for receiving any PLAN text alerts, the agencies said."

How convenient is that?  You don't have to do anything at all.  You're going to be signed up for the plan.  Yes, for those that are asking, even if you don't want the service.

"Consumers will have the option, through their wireless carrier, to block all PLAN alerts except for those issued by the president."

Someone better figure out a way to filter spam out of text messages so we don't have to get this garbage.

There is a possible sliver of hope.  Cnet.UK says that to pull off his king of spam act, the president is going to have put special chips into cell phones.  Phones with these chips will be available next year.  This brings up a very important question. 

How long can my current cell phone last?
