supposing truth is a woman – what then?

truly, what then?

i guess i’ve decided to stay in chapel hill forever since tonight i threw away original packaging boxes, some of which i’ve had for more than eighteen years.

if i were as smart as i am persistent i would have solved world hunger by the sixth grade.

don’t tell anyone, but i was late getting up this morrning to take lisset to the train so i came to work without a shower.

its no fun having a guy from the uk in our office if he’s going to dispute our impression of life across the pond, even if that impression comes entirely from monty python movies.

“if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, i think we really ought to go ahead and do it… it’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and i don’t think any oil shipments will stop. this man is a terrific danger, and this is in our sphere of influence.” -pat robertson, founder of the christian coalition.

“this is even more threatening to hemispheric stability than the flash of a breast on television during a ball game” -jesse jackson, calling for an investigation by the federal communications commission

as if being self-aware of my peculiarities wasn’t enough, now i’ve got a two and a half foot tall genetic reproduction of myself mirroring them back at me.

for the first time since march 1st, my family has been all together and in the same town for an entire week.

a huge differentiator between the people i respect and those i don’t is that when the folks i respect are challenged on their beliefs they respond with humor or thoughtful remarks instead of stammer and bullshit.

when a friend of mine writes about his friends on the internet, he masquerades their identities behind clever nicknames like “dutch”, “man who screams like a woman”, “bookpimp”, “snake”, “darkman” and “thin when tan girl”.

i’m willing to deepthroat their true identities to anyone who wants to send my kids to college.

you wouldn’t believe how much extra work an upright toothpick dispenser could cause on moving day.

at my last job i was kicked out of a corporate leadership development program because i wouldn’t cancel a ski vacation to attend a week long, follow-up session of the program.

if you ask me, i’d say i should have been rewarded for demonstrating superior leadership and prioritization skills.
