Feng Shui
I watched this season's Top Design on Bravo and decided to try my hand at interior design. How do you like the new layout of my apartment? I personally like the way the coffee table rests against the couch, creating a cozy environment. The lamp on the love seat was a stylistic touch I spent quite some time perfecting. I'd say that I feng shui'd the shit out of it, wouldn't you agree? Now that I'm looking at the photos, maybe I should turn the recliner around so the back is facing the television. Excellent... it is nearing perfection.

Not A Sexist
I am not a sexist, but I still find myself laughing at sexist humor. Is that wrong? The answer is... no. Take the exchange that is located at the bottom of this post as an example. It's funny because of Stan is a complete idiot - not because that he is trying to insult Francine. Justification... I think so.
Francine: Stan, we've been wondering around for hours. Klaus' bowl is starting to freeze. It must be ten below out here.
Stan: Fine, if you hate Christmas so much, you can go wait in the car.
Francine: So what are you going to do, spend all night looking for the perfect tree? You'll catch your death out here.
Stan: Honey, just because snow is the same color as our refrigerator doesn't mean you know how it works.

Schrute-ism #4
In the Schrute family we believe in a five fingered intervention. Awareness, education, control, acceptance and punching.

Quote for the Week
"You run a hit TV show. You have very impressive friends. You've found a hairstyle that works for you so long as it's not too humid and you're telling me you don't have the confidence to face a bunch of whittling, jug blowing IHOP monkeys. Lemon, you go and show that Kelsey Winthrop that the ugly ducking has turned into a vaguely ethnic swan." - Jack Donaghy

Hilarity
Yesterday, I quoted Robert Frost under the heading of "appropriate". Today I will quote John Oliver under the heading of "hilarity", but one could probably (taking the following quotes entirely out of context) make these quotes relevant to the times as well. Oliver's quotes are much more vulgar than Frost's, however, so consider this your warning.
"When you're a bankrupt ideology, pursuing a bankrupt strategy, the only move you've got is the dick one."
"There have always been motherfuckers, there will always be motherfuckers, but what we can't do is let them control our motherfucking lives."

Appropriate
This seems incredibly appropriate considering the current times.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Silent No More
I have taken some time from writing here for many reasons. Many of you probably know what has been happening recently and I am not really going to be detailing any of it now. I thought about taking this site down or just not writing any more, but I don't see the point in disappearing. I have no reason to hide.
For the sake of continuity and to close one chapter of my life in order to begin another, I would like to only speak of this once and then I will hopefully never dip back into this subject again.
Sometimes you have a vitally important decision to make. When you make that decision, there are a series of unintended consequences. I have made some poor financial decisions in my past (and have plenty of debt to prove it). A situation arose that I needed a little bit of extra time to really know exactly what was going to happen - financially. To make a vague story even more vague, the unintended casualty was the nearly one-year long relationship with Megan. Honestly, I did not want things to end, and even if they were destined to end, I did not want things to end the way they did.
There are two sides to every story, but it isn't in my nature to publicly speak about private situations. If you simply must know more, I am willing to provide more information... privately - not in public forum. Things are not always what they seem. If my character is in question, then the entirety is not known. The comments section of this blog is moderated by me and anyone with questions can privately use that feature - ask questions, and I will answer honestly. I promise that I will not post the private comments for the sake of anonymity (make sure to leave contact info with the comment).
I have already spent enough time dwelling on an incredibly bad situation and I do not intend on writing volumes about it here. It is time to move on. Since I have considerable amount of free time now, there will be more blogging... just not about this topic.
