Quotes For The Best Laid Plans.

Quote #1:
Judge: Mr. Hart, why are we here today?

Me: Well your honor, for once one of my plans worked!

Judge: Feels good doesn't it?

Quote #2 (later that day)
Judge: Mr. Hart, what is the status of this case?

Me: Your honor it's like a sine wave, started up, then went down, but now we're back up.

Quote #3 (also later that day)
After hearing some unexpected testimony, being somewhat pleasantly surprised, and glancing down at the notes my boss left me concerning this case.

Judge: Mr. Hart, what do you want to do?

Me *glances at the written notes again*: Your honor I'm going to overrule my boss and ...

Quote #4 (yes this was even later in the day)
Judge: Mr. Hart, who do you want next?

Me: I'm just going with whoever's file is at the top of this pile.

Denny Crane: 2012!

A Boston Legal marathon is on TVLand right now. Ah, the good ol' days of Denny Crane drinking scotch, smoking cigars, winning cases, and shooting people at random. I'll be honest after about Season 2 I stopped watching, but there was still plenty of good stuff.

I proclaim this the best political commercial for the 2012 presidential race.

Happy Singles Awareness Day.

I admit it. I really dislike February 14th. I know most people call it Valentine's Day, but that is only the name given to it by those who practice the Coupledom faith. As I do not practice that faith I'm more akin to my Jewish friends around Christmas time. My Jewish buddies, I know what you mean.

What makes me even more bitter (as if that were possible) was that in January I actually started to date someone. She was very smart, very interesting, and had many of the same interests and passions I did. I thought things were going well and I was looking forward to slowly evolving into a couple with her. Until 10 days ago when I received the "Dear Wolfrham" email. She just wasn't that excited about 'us' anymore.

Wow, not even 30 days and I'm already dumped. Though I'll never know her reasons why I get the feeling from a few things she said that I was the rebound guy after her 5 year relationship fizzled last year. I also get the feeling that perfection with her would have been if I instantly did all the good things she wanted in a relationship without having to go through any of the growing pains. Well I'm sorry but I don't believe relationships work that way. Two people just don't automatically click together in every aspect without any work. Work takes time.

I know any future relationship with me won't be the easiest thing. The things people involved in a long term relationship take for granted are new and unusual things to me. I think people have limited memories and forget what things were like before they were with someone else. To me, dating and relationships present a steep learning curve. Historically I simply haven't dated that much overall and I haven't been in a long term relationship in a very long time. My life went in a different direction than most people, and to top it off I know I've evolved some thick emotional armor. I like to think the right person would enjoy being with me and be willing to do some work to know the inner layers of me. Instead I'm cast aside like an unfavorable meal.

The past few days I wasn't bitter at all. Today, I'm just plain cranky and mean. For those who want to be happy with their significant other today enjoy it. You deserve it. I just don't want to be around it today. B'ah humbug! Perhaps I'll visit my parents later and have the unconditional love of DogHound. Who would have thought my fur-buddy would be a better companion than most people?

My Former IT Background Rises Again.

I would have no idea how to operate a Mac to be honest.

You are a PC

You're practical, thrifty, and able to do almost anything. Appearances and trends aren't important to you. You just like to get the job done. You pride yourself on being very flexible and adaptable. You do well in many different environments, and you can get along with just about anyone. You aren't stuck up. If anything, you are quite humble and down to earth. You accept your flaws and deal with them. You don't cover up your problems with pretty packaging.

Are You a Mac or a PC?
