I’ve decided that I look good naked.

I’ll just let that sink in.

I really needed a good sleep.  Going to bed early does not allow me a good sleep. Time t0 sleep in does not allow me a good sleep.  Cleaning my house prior to bet time, now that works.  As I wrote before in Cleaning as Catharsis, it relaxes me, calms me and sets my body & mind into the modes needed to allow me for a restful night’s sleep.

I like this. It works better than sleeping pills and has the added benefit of resulting in a cleaner house

PS: No sorry it only seems to work on MY house.  Good try though!

It’s hard not to get excited.
Of course depending on the conversation getting excited is synonymous with getting hard.  And of course you can get excited about getting hard.  Thankfully that isn’t a problem for me yet. Knock on wood. …but not to hard… ok maybe a little  harder. Ya, that’s the ticket…

Huh? Oh hi there. Where was I?  Oh forget it.  It’s Friday and I’m on the last stretch of work for the week.  Tonight’s festivities promises food, drink and fun with friends.

RyeNCode has gained the achievement “Mentor”

That was what my direct report (person who reports to me) at work had to say about me.  Well not quite in those words, but the word mentor was applied to myself in a positive statement.  Apparently I have the ability to teach by giving people enough rope to hang, er… um…  Information! Yes, information to find the answers themselves.

This is the way I like to learn and seem to learn best.  Give me the start of the trail, let me follow the breadcrumbs to the answer.  Correct me when I go WAY off course but small diversions & errors are part of the learning experience.

Either way, to me this is quite a feather in my cap.  A nice addition to an already pretty good day.

If past experience (being last night & this morning) is any indication of future potential, then my ideal role should be that of house-husband.

The last few days I’ve been feeling down and not really into my world or feeling much like doing anything.  Not really a great place to be.  More just turning down the volume, running on empty etc.

Yesterday I decided to buckle down and get some house keeping tasks done that I had been putting off.  Things like vacuuming, laundry, dishes, cleaning the cat box etc.  The resultant change in my mood is amazing to me.

Last night after my tasks for the day were completed, and I sat down with a drink and time to just shut down, I was able to really relax.  This morning I woke up with my alarm for the first time in a long time (I usually wake up before the alarm) and i felt refreshed, ready for the day.

Maybe this is a sign that my place is in the home.  Buck the typical Male Gender Role and be a house husband.  I’ve said before that if/when I have kids, I would really want to be a stay at home dad.  Maybe telecommute if possible but really be home for my family and take care of the homestead.

Something to remember for the future.

You’re sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
Or live on Mars
And have it your way

And you hate your boss at your job
Well, in your dreams you can blow his head off
In your dreams
Show no mercy

And all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end

Good news, It’s not a dark place.  Bad news, It’s not a happy place. But it is a place that is for sure.

I’m comfortable here, mostly, which makes this a dangerous place to stay a linger.

When I look at the denizens of this place I get the distinct feeling I’m no longer welcome.

I could send you a postcard, but they don’t sell them in this place. And besides, I have no currency here.

I want these goggles.

I have so many reasons to want these goggles.

They are bad ass looking steam punk goggles worn by Trent Rezner (a mortal embodiment of the god of awesome) in the music video for the (although popular) great song Closer.

I want these goggles.

I can’t have THESE goggles.  They belong to Trent. Or I suppose have been auctioned off or sitting in some prop room covered in dust (the horror!)

I will have to suffice with a reasonable facsimile.  I will have to construct a set that reasonably resembles the goggles I want.

I have a project  now…

I love this track. Rocks my f-ing socks off.
