One of those Weeks

You ever have one of those Mondays that you know is just setting you up for a seriously rough week- well mine started yesterday (that's right Sunday) and I don't think it's gonna let up till next week some time. Ouch, that's all I have to say is OUCH!

Sick of the Lies and the Hate

You know by now that CA is embroiled in this interesting Prop 8 scenario. What most of our friends else where don't know is how deceitful many of the tactics of explaining prop 8 are. I'm gonna take the time later to explain a bit of what I've noticed but in the mean time, I found these two videos on You Tube that I thought were great examples of the dangers to the future generations and their understanding of the great institution of marriage if prop 8 fails.

Sweet - that's all I can say

I need to say thanks to Natalie Kardos for the link:

I Want THAT!

A real interesting read

A friend of ours is keeping a very interesting blog here. I have been meaning to post some interesting stuff I"ve learned about prop 8 but in the mean time... enjoy this read.

YES on 8

I support prop 8 for many reasons, the main one being that I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God. There are other substantial reasons, to see some of them try the following links:

Bullet dodged

So I didn't get picked for jury duty. In fact, I didn't even get to go to a courtroom. Instead, I had to sit in the jury lounge room till almost 3:00 PM. I would have rather been at work. So boring. Oh well, I'm off the hook for at least 19 more months (if you're unsure how tha works, I'll be happy to provide you with insight).

Post-lunch...

Time for a new game to pass the day. We're gonna play "fat guy, head nod" rules are very simple look at the 350 lb fat guy and watch him get the head nods (you know cause we all want to be asleep). Then count how many violent nod/jerk awakes he has in 2 minutes. Then guess will it be more or less in the next 2 minutes. Give it a try and post your results in the comments section.

Bored stupid

Yeah so here I sit they've still only called 1 group away and lunch is setting in, worse yet is that I may have to sit around here after lunch too. I just don't want to be here- its a sad situation as to how slow they are and how sparse they are with information. A simple go home would be nice.

Jury duty - the waiting game

Now is the most brutal part I've been waiting for over an hour. They've called out 1 group of like 60 people and that's it! Seriously!?! Excuse me, I have better things to do, may I be excused? Great, thanks, see you later.
If only...

Side note

The old guy has a great halting speech that invokes William Shatner only 20 years older. I want him to say, "my jurors, my little jurors." maybe I can get him to do my voicemail a la "wait wait, don't tell me." oh here's the other jury story he tells... Sweet I'm 2 for 2!

Jury duty pt. 2

So a couple years ago when I got called to jury duty there was this old judge whose job it was to tell is how privelaged we are to serve. So ithought by now he might have died (lish had confirmed in feb that he was still around). Turns out nope he's still around even now- cause guess what, he's currently telling me the exact same story that I'm pretty sure he told me 3 years ago. But that being said they have a new movie that they show at the start, too bad they don't serve popcorn...

Jury duty

So here I am stuck at the "Hall of Justices" hoping that its not my turn to do my civic duty. Yup that's right I have to report to jury duty. So my plan for the day is to keep you posted as I endure through what I hope you will be a short day.

Published

About time! So I finally got my manuscript finished, organized, pushed through the correct number of hoops, and so now I submitted it to publication- only thing left is to wait for reviewers to tell me what to fix... in the mean time- even better news is that I got published today!!! Yup different manuscript I was only a co-author on this one, but still I got published! Feels nice to finally see some fruits to my labors. October could be a good month...
