Each summer it seems as though I pick a song that I think describes or atleast is a great summer time song. I have been doing this for a number of years. This year seems to be no different. This year it is Lay Me Down from Dirty Heads featuring Rome from Sublime.
I think it really captures the relaxing mood that summer puts me in… well, use to put me in when I didn’t have a REAL job. Anyways, have a listen.
it was a crazy end to my week. Hella busy at work, crazy amounts of writing and just stupid crap happening which is also known as life. It never fails that you have all of these great plans and then something totally random throws a monkey wrench into everything and you just go CRAZY.
Of course I get really bent out of shape when that happens and I take it out on Renee. Not the best idea and I fell really bad about that. So I am sorry, now let’s save the rest of the weekend and prepare for what crap life throws at us this week.
I have been pretty horiable about alot of things lately. My recent trip to Michigan with my family opened my eyes and made me think about what I am doing and what I am missing. One thing that I have been lacking is keeping up with my own personal site and blog. As you may have found out, my old blog has gone away. I am not really sure why I choose that site name and why I used it, but it is gone and never to come back. It really wasn’t descriptive of my and who I am.
Sure, it had my stuff on it and was all about me, but it wasn’t me, this is me! So once again, I start from the beginning and commit to new beginnings while still remembering the past. After some headaches, I was able to bring my old writing over and start off where I left.
There are still a couple of things left to do on my 101 list and time is running out. Will I finish it? Maybe not, but it will not be because I didn’t try. I also have a couple of new projects and ideas that I would like to see get off the ground, but more about that in the near future. For now, it is time to polish this site, commit to my family and my life while still finding order amongst the chaos.
Watch for a new look, ideas and work here on MY site, I can promise you that.
What a neat design. Some people are so creative!
I am not really the tea type of person, but I know a couple of people who are down with drinking the leafy drink. Doing the usual Stumble across the interwebs, I came across The Sharky Tea-Infuser by DesignBoom. What a neat idea! If only I could find a place to purchase it, I would. I bet this could work with Starbucks Via instant coffee packets.
An no, this is not on the present list, just a neat idea!

I can not believe it, people are actually calling the snow storm that the Eastern Seaboard had this past weekend a “Snowpocalypse“. In this age of constant connections, social media and trend setting, is it really required of us to “create” a new word to describe something when the there is already a simple enough phrase to describe it? Why not call what happened what it really was, a snow storm. It is that simple!
Of course it is the most snow that this area has seen in quite sometime, but honestly, does 21″ of snow require a name of Snowpocalypse? It is just another way of showing that NOVA and the DC Metro area over react to any kind of foul weather. Want another expample? On friday night, even before the snow storm began, A bunch of area school systems closed for Monday & Tuesday. Yes, I do understand that safety should be the primary concern and roads may not be safe, but how can any one predict what those conditions will be like four days before hand?
Conclusion: Grow up DC, snow is nothing new and is easy to deal with when you react accordingly!
With my other site design completed, loaded and up and running, it is time to think about changing my home here at chimpwalk. I have been doing some thinking over the holiday about what I want to do. Now that my time is a little more “free”, I might just have to sit down one night and work on this design.
I am pretty sure that is on my 101 list! If not, to bad, it still needs to happen!
Now if only the beer was any good, I just might buy a box!
