Note that I did not say acting my age. Anyone who knows me that is not likely happen, at least not for very long stretch of time. Besides, I like hanging out with younger people to much to really truly act my age all the time, though I am sure that they often think I am way out of touch and to old to be hanging around them. That is whole other story though.
I went to the gym today. Now granted, I have been exercising Read more…
Way back when I really started this blog in the fall, and again when it really started to get on a roll in the spring, I really intended to use it not only as an expression of all those things in which I had an active interest, but to also express my opinions about things that I passively enjoyed as well. One of those things that I have a very passionate passive (is that possible, well, yes it has to be, I can only appreciate it, as I have zero talent in this direction) is music. This summer thus far I have probably attended more musical events of one nature or another then I have since my days when I was running around on campus in and around Transy. Yet, short of a blog or two about Willie and some swing dancing, I have probably failed to mention music in this blog much at all. It is not with intent that I have been so lax and I have a few notes here and there about various artist. Anyway, starting this eve I intend to work back through the highlights of the artists that I have heard this summer and have enjoyed the most.
Most of my music listening this summer has been in the same general tier that most of my jousting Read more…
It is a legitimate question. I know that a lot of folks think that I am a freaking nut case in some ways. Anyway, I have this strong desire the last year or so to really have children. I have had an opportunity or two that was going toward that direction, but alas those seem to have gotten messed up. Anyway, a conversation I had with someone not to long led to this funny awkard point. I pointed out to her, that if all else failed and she still wanted a child there were means open to her to fulfill that need that I do not have available to me. For those of that are going huh? Live a little and use your imagination, but think donor program, either live donor or from, ahem, a bank. As a single man at this point, now approaching Read more…
I was tempted to call this posting centennial+1, but I am not sure if that would have been followed by everyone or not. A more obscure one still would be centennial++. How appropriate that the last post, about my being a slacker from generation-x, was indeed the 100th post to this blog. Granted, the original two or three post here were made when experimenting over on the WordPress hosted blog site and were later moved to this site. If my math is correct, the first post was made on November 17th, 2007, 285 days ago. So that puts the average at something around the a post once everything three days or so. Of course, it took almost two months between the first and second post and there have definitely been some times in there that the posting stream slowed to a trickle and nearly seemed dried up completely.
Obviously I am not living up to the idea of two to three post in a day. I do seem to get that fairly easily Read more…
Earlier this week, I had another couple of days that had a lot of time occupied with meetings. This one in particular was with this fellow from API hired to assist us jump start our strategic planning process that we are starting to put together for 2009 and apparently for 2009-2011. What is relative to this blog though, is a discussion that was had in regards to generations. The conversation itself was in regards to how that there some general characteristics from respective age groups that tend to influence how they view the news and community around them.
There was a book written not to long ago that talked about a cycle that is seen in generations. The book is titled, Read more…
