This Week is Going to be Busy

Before the weekend started I knew
I had a good amount of work to do
On Tuesday I have some code due,
plus home improvement projects anew
I figured I had four days free,
and I'd finish everything easily
But the plans of mice and men
fall apart every now and then

A few of us started the weekend early
we wanted to kick things off merrily
the plan was dinner and drinks,
but with glasses filled to the brinks
after the second round of clinks
it turned into a round of "what Sam thinks"

I went to a couple of birthdays,
one for a friend traveling a ways
we're parting ways, so I wanted to raise
a glass and send him off with a toast of praise
The other friend I've not seen for days
and she ended the night in a drunken daze

I met up with some college friends
it's been too long, so to make amends,
we continued the weekend's trends
with drinks of alcoholic blends

All in all, I had my fun
a good reminder I'm twenty some
but my tasks were mostly left undone
(I did make time for my weekend run)

Nothing was completed in my time off
but I will say this, before you scoff,
I made progress on my list
so I'll be fine if I persist
I'll just be busy all week long
to make up for this weekend's wrong

All Good Things ...

August 8, 2009. Over twelve years ago, I started blogging with this simple post . I didn't really have a great reason for starting the blog, other than I wanted to try it out. I wanted to try writing and putting it where others could read it. I don't know, it just seemed like a new adventure to try. Along the way, there have been all sorts of posts and all sorts of life events, but through it all, I kept writing. It just became a part of what I do at some point. It wasn't a matter of whether I was going to write a blog post, it was a matter of when. The Mild Wife has described it as a "writing practice," and it was one of the reasons why I kept writing. Honestly, it's good practice, and it gives me an opportunity to hone my craft. I'm no professional author, but we all have to write stuff in our everyday lives. Why not give yourself reps to get better at it? However, I think it's time for that practice to change. My weekly anecdotes sure kept me amused...

Dreams

Normally, I don't eat very many sweets. I tend to eat pretty generous portions, but I generally prefer savory food over sweet. In fact, I usually prefer things half as sweet when possible. My preference doesn't have anything to do with health reasons, it's just one of those things that I've always liked better. That said, I do inevitably eat dessert, particularly if I'm out with other people. My stance towards dessert is roughly equivalent to those who are social drinkers . If other people want to munch on something for dessert, I'm not about to cross my arms and refuse. That'd be just a tad gauche. So, I do eat some dessert. I even have a few standby favorites that I'll usually order when presented with them (brownies, creme brulee, and apple pie). But left to my own devices, I'm not about to go hunting for dessert. Apparently, this means that the sugar can really mess with my system under the right circumstances. As I've discovered, ...

New York City Trip (Day 1)

After my crappy flight , I was now in Newark, New Jersey at 7AM on a Friday morning. I had done a little bit of reading up, so I knew which bus I needed to take and where I was going to get off. All in all, getting into the city was surprisingly easy. I suppose speaking the language does make things simpler. Through no real planning of mine (a theme of the trip, at least on my part), I picked one of the later bus stops at which to get off, Grand Central. I actually just figured that getting off at Grand Central would give me options, and heck, it's called Grand Central. That just screamed "decent place to disembark that might be close to some stuff" to me, so that's where I got off. However, it also meant that we drove down 42 nd St to get to my bus stop. That just happens to be a big street, and it gave me a glimpse of Times Square as we drove by. My bus stop choice had accidentally given me a rough layout of the city. Go me. I had about 6 hours to kill...
