Ok, I think Rhys needs to get out of the Apartment… He has a new semi-imaginary friend. His name is Pothead…

Pothead... Get it? His head is a pot...

Just some comic relief for ya. :)

Kinda makes you want to do the robot…

So, I’m driving to work today, listening to You Look Nice Today (a journal of emotional hygeine), and I’m taking note of all the political bumper stickers. Let’s face it, putting a political bumper sticker on your car is kind of a douchy thing to do (hopes none of his friends are guilty of doing douchy things). Let me explain… Ok, perhaps douchy is not the right word. I think I just wanted to say douchy. More to my point it’s a dumb thing to do. … But, that’s not quite as colorful… Let’s explore.

First, nobody cares. Guess what, you aren’t swinging the vote with your bumper sticker. Most of them aren’t even entertaining! I mean, at least make it so the rest of us can get a laugh out of it. Something like, “Save the Drama for Obama!” or “I’m a Maverick, Bitches!” You know, something other than, “McCain ‘08″… Wheee!

Second, 95% of you aren’t going to remove these stickers after the election, and THATS when it becomes a douchy thing to do. Now you are just driving around in an old car…. You know?

Ok, but, I digress… That was not the point I was trying to make. The point I was trying to make — which is more of an observation than a point — is when I looked at the Obama cars, they all looked like hippies! You know, the steroetypical-just-smoked-a-joint-hippie. Those cars also had a shotgun blast of other opinionated stickers on their cars too… All the McCain cars had intensely serious and focused looking people. But, not intense and focused like they were concentrated on being good drivers. It was more intense and focused like they had a body in the trunk. … Just a random morning observation for you guys…

Have a great Thursday!

Ok, if you haven’t been roller skating in.. oh… over 20 years, you will find it is not quite like swimming. You DO in fact forget how to do it. It will come back to you quick enough, but DUDE, I forgot just how difficult roller skating was. I went to my neice’s birthday party and felt the call of the rink! Little known fact about Slack: He’s a skate junkie. Don’t you judge me!

Heidi and I walked Rhys up and down beginner’s alley. He caught on pretty quick. He’s not ready for the beginners rink yet, but he’s getting there. If he sticks with it he’ll get it. Unfortunately, the perfectionist in him, combined with his impatience, caused for a very frustrated little boy. But even in light of all that, he did quite well.

So, after I could take it no longer, I slapped on a pair of skates. Ready to show my wife how I can tear the rink up, I push off from the wall and immediately start flailing my arms around like I’m trying to swat a wasp or something. It was embarrassing… LOL But, it was fun. And you know what? I think I will be goin back there! HA! Great way to get exercise! Who wants to go skating? :)

I stumbled onto a new PodCast… Well, new to me anyway. It’s called You Look Nice Today, and I just wanted to share its simple brilliance with you. It is definitely a laugh out loud kind of thing. Kind of like when you watch someone trip down a flight of steps. You can’t help but laugh out loud, but you feel like you shouldn’t. :) It’s that kind of funny.
