With facebook and twitter, what’s the point of a blog? I’ve ran out of things that I care enough about to blog them. I’ve also ran into the problem of work life vs. personal life. I’m in a more visible role at work, and for some odd reason my thoughts and opinions have more of an effect on people.

I do have an idea for a blog with a specific topic, but I’m not sure when I’ll get around to doing that… if ever. I am one lazy S.O.B.

If you care to stay in contact, than look me up on Twitter. If you can’t find me, than leave a comment or email me and I’ll send you a link.

Thanks for reading, and I hope time treats you well.

Diablo High School Class of ’99 is lazy. 2009 marks our tenth year anniversary of our high school graduation. Most people have reunions to show off what they been doing for the last ten years, or the lack there of. A glorious event where you can kiss hands and shake babies, or is it the other way around? It would be nice to see ex-classmates that I never really bothered to stay in contact with, but who has time now a days to plan something like that? Who’s supposed to head this reunion business anyway? Class president?

With all of that said… God bless Facebook! You want to know what good’ole what’s his face is doing? You’re just a few simple mouse clicks away from being smack dab in the middle of their world. Soon you will know their inner most thoughts, as we somehow forget to use external filters when it comes to status updates. I know I’ve been guilty of this almost on a daily basis. Because of this lack of filtration I’ve learned more about my ex-classmates from sites like Facebook than I did in four years of high school.

So, who needs face to face meetings? We are of the computer generation. This is what we’re supposed to do, right?

Happy tenth year anniversary MDHS class of ’99! Maybe we can get our shit together for the 20th, and actually see each other.

Safe journies,
Jimbo

In fact, I would consider myself to be quiet phobic. So, its normal to find my surrounded by sound. TV, radio or any other background noise gets me through life. I’m not sure why the silence bugs me so much, but I find it hard to focus on anything other than the silence when it’s quiet.

breakroomToday is different. I would KILL for some silence today. Well… not TOTAL silence. Maybe just “less loud” would be good. For the third day in a row they are remodeling the office break room. My work time residence is directly on the other side of the wall they are working on. The best thing is when the WHOLE DAMN WALL rattles as they cut the copper pluming and the metal studs. You can feel the rattling in your chest. Its nerve racking.

I have two days before I start training a five and a half week new hire class, and I’m in crunch time. This distraction is even a bit much for me to ignore. Not even Lamb of God cranked up to eleven in my headphones can drown it out.

Today is the first day that I’m going to try giving up Firefox while at work. I have to use IE for work related stuff, but Firefox is my time killer. No iGoogle. No 49er news. No yelp. Just work.

How did I make this posts you ask? From my iPhone during a break.

Ok, back to work and being a dull boy.
