Multitasking
ok so i'm currently in class learning about how to create a class Web site. the good thing is that i still have 2 1/2 hours left of class. that means i have lots more fun staring me in the face. the bad thing about typing this post during the class is that this keyboard seems to be extremely LOUD. like everytime i hit a key all 14 heads in the room turn to see what the heck i'm doing and why i'm not paying close attention. hmmm i say. i'm not good at focusing for very long when i have the internet at my fingertips. at least i'm not erin or emily who struggle with this distraction every class period. they are way more adept at wasting time on the internet, i mean, at finding out very important information like who wants to be their friend on facebook. i haven't succumbed to facebook yet however, with very many more trainings like this one, i will be forced to wave the white flag and surrender (bc that's what the white flag means). before i end this post i will leave you with this deep thought:
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. (jack handy)

I'd like to salute all those students who have mastered the task of "surfing" the internet while your professor is staring you down from 20ft. away. It takes a look of determination and concentration that cannot be taught in the average classroom. No, this life is not a life for the weak. We are a proud few, not willing to close that computer for anybody, no, not even you Professor Fill in the Blank.
Preach on E.B.
Preach on.
what kind of pirate are you?!
worrying about keyboard sounds in class?!
you're a pirate, a pirate kaptin for pete sake!
you should be hammerin' those keys hard as you can. i want to hear the air whistlin' by your fingers as dive down to smash that key through the floor. then, when those good-for-nothin' nare-do-wells callin' themselves your classmates say anything about it you should run them through. sounds violent i know, but hey, you're a pirate. if you don't have the stomach for that type of retaliation...maybe you ought to find a new line of work.
it is simply a matter of reestablishing your decision making paradigm. instead of making decisions from the point of view of mild mannered student, attack your problems (a.k.a fellow students) with the tenacity and all encompasing swiftness pirates are famous for.
starting a motivational speaking tour for pirates kaptins and their pirate cohorts,
jay, you're funny.
the humor darts in my vast comedy arsenal are both swift and accurate. they will pummel you into a giggling surrender like so many smily face cannon balls raining down from the hull of my facetious ship. be afraid, for this farcistador will conquer your platitudinous demeanor with his side-splitting golden pen. marvel at me! MARVEL AT ME!
humbly yours,

hey--if you guys read this comment this morning: Give Graham a call, he left his apartment in Houston last night at midnight and it's 6:30am now and hasn't made it out of Houston, he's still on the outer loop. So give him a call to encourage him, he's pretty tired and frustrated. :)
what is graham brown's phone numerology?
tell me and i will call
jay, 806-441-2209, it's been acting up some, but usually if you try 4 times, it goes through by then..I know it sounds like a lot but it's not. He's now been on the road for 13 hours, hasn't slept for over 36 hours and he just got out of HOuston. He's still in Bumper to bumper traffic, headed up toward College STation and then over to Austin. He would LOVE any encouragement, from what he's told me, it's been pretty frustrating. Thanks for all your concerns and prayers...em
kate--thanks for letting me make take over with all my personal comments---graham finally made it to Austin this morning at 2am, 26 hours after leaving his apartment in Houston! so... enough serious stuff...have you guys heard the one about the duck that walked into the bar? :)
yah i heard it...i heard two of 'em actually
1. so this duck walks into a bar and orders a scotch and soda. then the bartender says to him, "hey bill, what's that on your face?!"
he he he
oh man...so funny!
2. so this duck walks into a bar and says to the horse, "hey man, why the long face?!"
gosh...those be some funny type jokes.
i just made them up right then...
seriously...i know you can't believe it, but it's true
tell them too your friends for laughs to the max.
doin' my schtick since odd 3
soy el 'benny goodman'
I feel maybe i should explain the second joke...
the reason it is funny is because the horse was already there in the bar and had already been asked by the bartender "why the long face?" now, with the arrival of the duck, the horse had been asked that question twice right in a row. some folks might think that it was just a wierd coencedence or some might think that would be just too much for one horse to take. either way you slice it, it's funny.
i have been thinking of reworking the joke though to something a little more shocking...shock humor is a sure hit with any crowd. maybe i could change the joke to something like...
so this duck walks into a bar and says to the horse, "hey man you just crapped on the floor. that's gross!"
of course you have to be careful where and when you tell that one. you might tell it at a bar and be laughing after the punch line, then two seconds later be crying when the guy on the stool next to you smacks across the face with his tail.
you've been warned,
jay
jay, slow day at work huh? I've compiled a list of things to do, based on my favorite movies, that would be fun:
1. Fly a kite (Mary Poppins)
2. Sing "you've lost that lovin' feelin" to a random girl at a bar (Top Gun)
3. Go see a movie with scuba goggles on (Notting Hill)
4. Take a walk and sneak into a private park (Notting Hill)-you probably won't be able to do this with Julia roberts, but there's always a chance
5.Sit outside and read poetry with friends and eat grapes (Much Ado About Nothing)(You probably do this anyways)
6. Leave your office saying to yourself "baby steps to the door. baby steps to the elevator. baby steps to the car" etc.. etc..(What about Bob)
7. Take your dog to the river and try to teach him to swim. (all the real girls)
Okay, that's a really long list of super cool stuff to do, There should be no more corny jokes for awhile, IF you follow my plan for ultimate fun
Emily this doesn't sound like a plan for ultimate fun. I just finished eating grapes outside. hehe
