ALRIGHT!!! Been a few days so let's get this thing started!!!!
On facebook the other day, I finally told everyone what most of you have known for quite some time: I'm an atheist. And I must say... the response was amazing!!! I'm glad that I have friends that are tolerant and understanding of other's beliefs! Not a single friend unfriended me and I got very positive comments on the post itself and in my inbox. That made me a very happy panda! Glad to say, when I posted the thread on an Atheist forum (names blacked out for anonymity, of course), the community was happy to see how well my friends accepted this and you all even inspired another individual to tell their friends!!! She and I have since become friends and it's all thanks to everyone being so gracious. I've seen threads where Atheists told their friends and they were not so understanding and accepting. So, thanks again everyone. You rock.

Charleston didn't call or email today. Not to worry, folks!!! I know that they have been in many meetings lately and haven't forgotten me. :) All good things in time. Just gotta be patient.
I must have one in my house... It's a sink that's ALSO and aquarium!!! Awesome....
Big bbq going down Saturday for all of us at work, since the new company is taking over. Making some pulled pork, brisket and doing up the usual burgers and dogs here at the house. Should be a good time with all of us hanging out for one last hurrah.
A cure?! They've modified HIV and with only one shot, cured leukemia in 2 patients and eradicated about 70% in another!!!! AMAZING!!!! Yay science!!! We're coming to a time where it's feasible to eradicate advanced disease and sickness. Inspiring stuff.
Then I find out about a judge in PA that took over $1 million in bribes from a juvenile detention center to essentially have kids convicted without trial and forced pleas on them!!! Absurd. Read the article. Too angering to type about here.
Today I Learned: That the Tower of Pisa is now stabilized for the first time in 800 years!!!!! Yay for engineers!!!! Amazing that it's even been around that long, really....
Way cool photo... My fascination with photography and the things people are doing with photoshop continues. This is incredible. If I didn't have so much on my plate with my career, I'd be learning how to do this right now.
Well... I think I'll have a glass of wine and relax for the evening. Laundry to be done, as well. Need a funny? OK! << This is true, sadly.... How about another?! Fertility is important. Check yo' self befo' you wreck yo' self!!! And because I love Toy Story and I have many friends who love Harry Potter, this is for you! Have a good Thursday night, homies!!!!!

Movin' Along!
OK... So.... Talked to Charleston today. Rather than fax or email me the paperwork and such, they are going to fly me out there to do a meet and greet with the President of the company and sign the papers in person. Also gives me an opportunity to get a place to live locked down. Mom's gonna meet me out there when I go. Makes me happy. Have looked a lot. Have a place in mind and a couple backups just in case. I'm very excited. I'm trying to contain it but not really working. :) Oh well.
Today I Learned: That the process for taking a new job across the country (especially when it pertains to gov't work) is a long and arduous process. Goodness gracious!!!!
I don't have much else to offer you in this blog today. I'm too busy getting everything ready for this move. I have a few things else I want to sell but not gonna do it till I've signed everything OFFICIALLY. Nothing is certain till paperwork is signed. This is the way of modern America. So I'm being a little cautious. I'm sorry if I'm not talking to a lot of people as much as you'd like. Please understand that I have a TON going on and chit chatting with folks is not exactly my priority. I'm doing my best to better my life and that takes precedence over EVERYTHING. So please don't take it personal.
What do you see when you look down a mole hole? Molasses. BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That's all I got. Sorry I don't have more entertaining things for you. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have things up and running the usual way.
Have a good night!!!

Awesome Day!!!
Yes... you read that title right. I had an awesome day. The one glitch I've been waiting for to get this Charleston, SC job got cleared up. :D JOY!!!! I'm giddy. Tomorrow I talk to future employer and should either sign papers tomorrow or Monday. I'm so freaking excited. You people have no idea....
Today I Learned: The owner and creator of Match.com had his girlfriend leave him for a man she met on Match.com.... BAHAHAHAAAA!!!!! The irony is delicious.
Tonight, the roommates bought me beer. :) And are cooking dinner!!! The hits just keep on rolling....
When I eat outrageous amounts of dessert, this is how I justify it. It makes everything make sense. LOL.
I can't stop thinking about moving to Charleston. Very exciting for me. A fresh start. New job that I've been wanting. I'm so eager to learn and get going. Meet new people. Have a new adventure.
Kittay is hilarious!! I love the interwebz... a treasure trove of crap that can make you feel better anytime.
How to remove yourself from all background check websites. Seriously. Do this. Our privacy these days is SO precious. Almost non-existent. This will help you gain some of that back. Many of you have asked me how I find people and information so fast. I use the websites listed in the link. Most people don't even know they exist or that they are listed on them. A lot of your VERY personal information is there. A lot of times, this includes phone numbers, addresses and even salary. Follow the instructions on the page and regain your privacy.
I want one. Why? Because it's cool!!!! Seriously... who owns one of these?! I will soon... :)
Ok.... time to watch South Park and have a relaxing night with the roommates. Have an awesome night!!!!

I'm Back!!!
OK... Time to play catch up! Gonna be a long one and have absolutely no flow or coherence at all but full of really great stuff! Promise!
Hopefully by the end of this week, I can have this stuff cleared for Charleston and be on my way!!! I'm being very optimistic. This has come at a great time and it's a great opportunity and I'm doing everything possible to make it happen.
Today I Learned: In Japan, there's a tradition to eat KFC on Christmas! Amazing how much all of our cultures around the world differ... What is the norm in one place can be viewed as strange and obscure (or even offensive!) in others. Hooray for the Interwebz!!! Knowledge at our fingertips. Use it, people. It's not just for Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia. Speaking of... Those of you who continue to cite Wikipedia links to me as "reputable sources" and expect me to believe it realize that it can be edited by anyone and no one in any professional or scholarly field would ever accept that as a valid reference for information, right? Just saying....
The new roommates are working out well. Woke up to coffee already brewed this morning. (Thanks Jamie!) But then I got a taste for it and had 3 more at work. I was WIRED. I couldn't sit still to save my life. Imagine the look on my coworkers face as I'm dancing and singing all over the office... to Rapper's Delight. Yeah.... quite the sight.
A baby Chimp feeding a baby Tiger. Why? Cuz it's freakin' cute. That's why.
Is anyone comfortable with this Debt Ceiling bill that just got passed? No? Yeah... me neither. And now a bill is going up that requires internet companies to log everything you do online, document it, and report it to the gov't. **Le Sigh** Forgot to save the link on this one. Go to Google and find it yourself. LOL
Only the vehicles got scratched. CRAZY!!!! Bet those people had more than a little adrenaline flowing through their bodies. You think any of them peed themselves? "Martha!!! I need my spare drawers!!!"--"I think they're over there by the steering wheel and rear axle!"
I understand people like vanity plates on their cars... but some people seriously need to get a life. Example. Seriously? What went through her head when applying for this? Ridiculous.
Something to think about: Jon Benet Ramsey would have turned 21 this Saturday. Such a sad thought. That little girl was never brought justice. Even in this day of insane technology and such, there is nothing we can do to give her the resolution she deserves. GRRRRRR!!!!!
I cannot be the only one entranced by this. Holy crap. Makes my brain thingy hurt. OWWWWW.....
Saw 2 really cool videos today. 1) Talented People. These people have WAY too much time on their hands... but WOW!!! Cool Stuff!!! 2) Man Invents 27 String Guitar and WOW! This is incredible. He doesn't even look like he's trying.
Today I ALSO Learned: That black pepper can stop the bleeding of a cut. It also takes away the soreness. Never occured to me. Seems like it would sting more... like pepper spray would. Apparently not. I hath been SCHOOLED.
Alright... I'll wrap this up. This week has been super stressful. I'll get back on posting everyday so you don't have to read through tons of crap like today. LOL. It's about time for your funny... Do you like pineapple? Think about this next time you cut into one... Night!
