Opportunity Knocks

i guess next time i hear something that sounds like a knock at the door (when its almost time to get up) while i am asleep, i might want to think about answering it...

i go to brush my teeth this morning, and nothing! no water coming out of the faucet. LUCKILY i had a glass of water that i poured the night before but didnt drink, which gave me just enough water to brush my teeth and rinse out.

then i had to take a (insert name of any race here) shower, you know, where a lot of deoderant and a lot of cologne are involved.

finally, i called the roommate and left him a message suggesting that paying the water bill is NOT an option. only to find out later that the knock on the door that i ignored while getting in my last few minutes of sleep, was the water company. they were knocking to say the water in my neighborhood was going to be shut down for a bit to work on a pipe...

water company - 1, manan - 0

Commencement Pt 2

wow, its been a while since ive written anything on here...

anyway, almost exactly two years ago, i wrote this post: Commencement. it was about a coworker of mine that was leaving the company to pursue a career in which he could better use the skills he learned (and enjoyed) while in college.

if you read that post, you will see how i wrote about how he was starting a new life, a new job, a new beginning. well you know that saying "everything happens for a reason"? i really believe everything happens for a reason.

you see, i just got some awesome news. fingers of fury, or as he is better known today, brian (i dont think his fingers are very furious anymore), told me he is getting married!!! now you might ask, what does that have to do with leaving one company, and going to another? and that would be a very good question.

well you see, brian met his fiance AT the job he left the company i work at for. so you see, everything DOES happen for a reason.

so here we are again, celebrating the fact that brian is dealing with commencement once again. only this time, he isnt alone, he is beginning a new life not as a he, but as a we. not as his life, as their life. not as brian, as brian and angie. together i wish them the best in their soon-to-be new life together. and once again congratulations!

How to keep a flat stomach!

A little boy walks into his parents' room to see his mom on top of his dad bouncing up and down. The mom quickly dismounts, worried about what her son has seen, dresses quickly and goes to find him.

The son sees his mom and asks, "What were you and dad doing?"

The mother replies, "Well, your dad has a big tummy and sometimes I have to get on top of it to help flatten it."

"You're wasting your time." says the boy.

"Why is that?" asked his mom, puzzled.

"Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over, gets on her knees, and blows it right back up!"

Definition of Stupidity

riding a crotch rocket with no helmet, while smoking, and tailgating cars...

yea, i was driving yesterday, and in my rear view mirror, there was a guy on a motorcycle, with no helmet, ON MY ASS, while smoking (which means at some points he only had one hand on the bike).

it took EVERYTHING in me NOT to give him a brake check...

you know, i look out for motorcycles, i keep my distance from them to make it safer for them. but this guy was just an idiot. he is lucky i have a conscience...
