Ok, so every now and then I come across this “fancy” and “innovative” way to check things off your to do list, called Getting Things Done (GTD).  It was invented by some old guy who thinks he stumbled across something that no one has thought of before.

Here’s the problem with this.  Basically his methods focus on creating a mixture of using folders for each day of the month, or creating lists so you don’t keep things in your head.  I hate to say this, but isn’t this just common sense?  Did this moron actually get famous and a “genius” reputation for actually suggesting people use common sense?

I’VE BEEN KEEPING LISTS AND STAYING STRESS FREE LIKE THIS FOR YEARS!!  You mean to tell me I could have merely suggested this to people, created a website, booked a handful of seminars, wrote a book, and spilled basic knowledge to all of mankind and I could have made a living doing this years ago?!?!!?!?

Maybe it’s just me, but this is a HUGE WTF for me.  Sorry David dude, but you’re not really promoting anything new, just apparently reminding people they have a brain and making yourself look like a huge dud.

This post isn’t meant to insult anyone, especially if this method of doing things never actually occurred to you.  I’m just really frustrated by the fact that this is so basic and so easy.  WAIT!  I KNOW!  I’m going to create a website, book seminars and write books about how to clean your office.  I’m going to call it Getting Things Filed.  Or WAIT, better yet: Getting Things Shredded.  It’s a stretch I know, but if this crazy old fart can do it, it can’t be that hard, can it?

I found this and had a good laugh.  Maybe you will too.

If you know the show that quote is from, then I don’t have to educate or corrupt your minds.  To me, that quote signifies the beginning of the annual traditions where we either drink too much and destroy our alter-ego attire (costume, for those of you dumbfounded by my attempts of superior terminology, or lack thereof), or run around familiar and strange neighborhoods, talking to strangers (despite what we are taught at that age about NOT talking to strangers) and receiving free food from those strangers (at their own homes, making it easier for them to abduct several children at once) that will ultimately destroy our teeth and affect all personal hygiene.

To break that last paragraph of shit down even further, I welcome you all to the 2009 holiday season.  We kick of this year’s festivities like any other year, with Halloween.  While the true origins of this bizarre holiday are not 100% known, I personally believe it was a holiday that was conceived by pedophiles and axe murderers that somehow managed to convince our planet’s leaders and lawmakers to find it in their hearts that the world needed a holiday to celebrate psychos, homicidal freaks and Kanye West.

Before I go, I want to ask a favor of the Jabloggy community.  What do you think is the better costume for me this year: Kanye West (and get the shits beaten outta me) or a Mistletoe (and potentially get mouth-raped by every female downtown)?  TOUGH CALL!

Sooooo, do we believe the government and WHO?  OOORRRRR do we believe that this latest “epidemic” known as the Swine Flu (no offense to all forms of pork out there) is merely a human-generated laboratory experiment gone wrong?  The next thing to get out of the lab could be the T-Virus, and then we’re ALL EFFIN SCREWED.  As they say on the morning show on WJJO in Madison: Watch out for the zombie apocalypse!

Are these “new” diseases scares real?  Or are they all just in our head and only as serious as the original Human Flu that we’re accustomed to?  I wonder what else they are hiding from us, or what lies they are feeding us.

Makes me wonder if we’re even really in a “recession”, huh?  Aside from all the signs that we supposedly see around the country, is there really a recession or is it all in the power of the mind?  That ooey gooey substance known as the human brain is pretty damn powerful.  Who knows when they will take over and they won’t need our bodies anymore to survive….

So again, my blog is targeted in a pingback scandal much like the Jabloggy parenting post from a little while back. I think I should start a segment on here dedicated to the weird pingbacks where my site gets listed. Freakin’ sweet.

This time, I am included in a list of places to buy gifts for Valentine’s Day this year. Since my headline reads “VD” instead of “Valentine’s Day”, I think that looks just bizarre (or awesome for those of you that are twisted like me).

…she’s trying soooo hard not to be detected or laugh, I had to burst at this. Btw, for those of you who don’t know, this is Justine.

Yesterday I went grocery shopping (yay for food!) and I picked up a couple of cat nip toys for Lexi, feline of wonder. Well, as you may have guessed, the moment she got her paws on one (pun intended) she was freakin’ wiggin’ out the rest of the evening like a crack head chasing imaginary cars (or something). Huh, guess you had to be there….

So on Sunday for Mother’s Day my brother and I took my mom out to brunch in Madison here, and then made a trip over to Best Buy for a bit. Please note that at this time I had no intention to buy anything.

Anyway, I walked in empty handed, and I left with a Klipsch 10″ 420-Watt Subwoofer for my home theater. Totally worth it. My lifelong goal is to drive all of our “shared wall” neighbors out so we can expand into this entire building.
