volatility much?

Lets see. We've got a couple of wars going on, terror, financial anxiety, natural disasters, and pollution of untold magnitude. Add to that the fact that I am still trying to get over a head cold today, and you can understand the elevated stress levels. Kinda makes me wanna slow down and enjoy the amazing weather this early May has presented us with. The gentle breeze, the warm embrace of sunlight, the blue vastness of the sky.

Before I go outside for a stroll down Angelus Drive, some random thoughts:

- not sure I like the term 'hung parliament'.. surely we could all come up with more professional terminology.. but then again, who the hell cares what I like and what I dont like.. I am not even sure I care too much

- Jim Cramer was hilarious yesterday.. 'buy Proctor!.... sell Proctor!.... someone better be buying me dinner at Ruth's tonight!'

- several times a day I feel a strong urge to take a week off, drive down south, and spend a few days just washing and feeding birds, and..

- several times a day my wife calls and reminds me that I gotta wash and feed Alvie when I get home..

- I love push ups

- wife + baby + beer = good times

g chat status categories

Lets see..

There is your ever-optimistic-in-world-peace-and-prosperity "here is a link to a cool site that lets little Indian and Pakistani girls chat online and be friends. I am cool!"

There is the inside job "damn girl, that was one wicked night! We are cool!"

There is the amateurish "here is a link to my blog. Read it, cause I am way cool."

There is the lest-we-forget slogan "Today is Flag Day.. here is a link to all the flags ever created. Way cool!"

There is the narcissistic "on my way to loads of fun, sorry you are at work, biatches, damn, I am cool."

There is the either absurd or totally-inside-joke-like "Not sure if you will succeed.. But good luck."

There is the almost-nihilistic "its all good, mon."

What am I missing??
