Happy New Year.

I would just like to take a fleeting moment of what is left of 2005 to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We all have things to be thankful for, and hopefully 2006 will continue to bring us good fortune.

Enjoy.

WooHoo!

Transit Strike is (temporarily) over.

I think it was my threat of flogging Roger Toussaint.

Gratuities can be left at the Sluggo-Compound.

On a side note, since I've been tied up with this little strike nonsense, and now have one (1) day to all of my Christmas shopping, I will take this time to wish my faithful readers (both of you) A Merry Christmas/Happy (C)Hanukah/Bitchin' Festivus.

Transit Strike in NYC

I have to sit and wonder.

How many days will it be until the citizens of New York City demand a public flogging of TWU Local leader Roger Toussaint?

I'm guessing sometime in the next 8 and a half minutes.

This has got to stop. Now.

Deep thought of the moment. (Part Deux)

As I sit here working in the middle of the night, I have got to wonder.

What the hell would "The History Channel" show if the Nazis didn't film everything?

Sixty years after their defeat, they (more or less) have their own cable TV channel.

Time for a little self-indulgence

OK, like everyone else on the planet with an internet connection, I've been 'tagged' more times than I can remember, and now for my blogging public (yes, both of you.) I will finally respond to the 'tags' with the answers you have been waiting so long for.

Me, Me, Me

1 - 10 Years ago - I was working for a different agency, and learning more of the right (and especially the wrong, which I was much better at) ways to do things.

2 - 5 Years Ago - I was preparing for the Y2K bug to wipe humanity from the face of the earth. I was also making final arrangements to buy a co-op. Wow. Talk about hedging your bets.

3 - 1 Year ago - I was preparing for Christmas for the Sluggo-baby. We were also finishing some major construction of the Sluggo-compound which had forced us to move out of the house for almost 4 months.

4 - Yesterday - Sluggo-baby and I spent the whole day in a toasty-warm house, chasing each there around and having a jolly-old time.

5 - Today - I am work, having a profound effect on the world around me. Or maybe I'm just trying to keep myself amused.

6 - Tomorrow - I will take the Sluggo-baby to Camp Grandma for a day of spoiling. (for both of us! WooHoo!)

7 - 5 Snacks I enjoy - Gum, Ice cream, pretzels, Cannoli, and the world's greatest invention: The Chipwich

8 - 5 Bands - Rolling Stones, Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floyd, Ozzy, Pet Shop Boys (A guilty pleasure)

9 - What would I do with $100,000,000? - Throw a massive party to be remembered for all the ages, then bail everyone invited out of jail. Live happily ever after.

10 - A place I would like to run away to? - A beach (with internet access, of course) and a bartender there wouldn't hurt, either.

11 - 5 Bad habits - Procrastination, Lousy diet, Procrastination, Daydreaming, and Procrastination

12 - 5 things I like doing - Video games, eating red meat, reading, driving on a summer day with the windows down, and napping.

13 - 5 TV Shows I like - The Simpsons, Rome, The Sopranos, and anything on the History and/or Discovery channels.

14 - Famous people I'd like to meet - Bill Clinton, because I imagine him to be a BLAST to party with.

15 - Biggest joy of the moment - A smile from my daughter.

16 - Favorite toys - Computer, Sawzall

17 - 5 People to tag - Anybody who feels the need.

Deep thought of the moment.

Sometimes, when I'm at work in the middle of the night, I ponder the complexities of life and try to figure out the mysteries of the universe.

But then I have to stop, because it makes my head hurt.
