The following blog was written on my commute home last night. I did not have a chance to post it then, so I am posting it on my commute this morning. That explains the 'present' tense and spelling errors. That said, enjoy...

I guess, being a fat douche has its advantages. Tonight, two such examples are absorbing a three person seat on a packed commuter train from New York. No one is brave or thin enough to squeeze between them, nor are they offering the seat to the dozens of people standing in the aisle. The just sit there giggling about glazed hams or something.

A message to the fuckers spamming my blog. You guys suck ass. What do you gain out of posting links to websites on a blog that gets no traffic? I hate to break it to you, but you're wasting both of our time.

Now that I've dispensed with the rage and intolerance at hand...

Do not fly India Air to or from India, because it smells like curry, says my Indian coworker. That and they're one step beyond errant chickens roaming the aisles.

My Monday nights have become boring again. The season finales of my Monday night shows were last night. 24 and Heroes if you're wondering. I am sure my Tuesday and Wednesday night shows are sure to follow. What am I supposed to do with my summer weekday nights, read or something? My only saving grace, to use a cliche that I wish I didn't, is that Forza 2 is coming out soon for the xbox 360. Woo!

The guy across from me on the train has some weird tourette-esque, gasping twitch. In addition, he's talking to himself. It is really quite amusing and disturbing at the same time. If my phone took better quality video, I would capture some of it.

I've blogged from my phone before. But this is a new one for me, on my phone while standing in between train cars on a NJ Transit express train. The smell from the train breaks is awful and the track noise is unbearable. Normally I'd listen to the ipod, but my battery died after a couple hours usage. I think its time for a new one, maybe one that plays video!!

As long as I get on an express train, the ride is tolerable. Between NY Penn and Princeton Junction, where I get off (temporarily), the train only makes one stop in Newark. It's about a 50 minute ride, as long as there are no problems along the way. However, it's a rush hour train, hence why I am standing between cars.

I usually get out of work at 5:30. I have to run down seventh avenue from 40th to 32nd in order to get the train by 5:43. That doesn't really sound like a big feat, but everyone else is doing it too, it's slow going, and it usually takes all 13 minutes. (I did that math in my head)

Apart from that, things are good. My coworkers are really friendly, not just my department, but the whole company. Finally getting into some real work, I have earned their trust, at least enough for the small projects.

Well I just wanted to update you. We're nearly to my stop. I think I am getting motion sick from looking down at my little phone screen while NJ flies by in my periff...

My new highest bowling score. Achieved January 19th, or 20th. I don't know because it was damn near midnight, either way. When did bowling become so popular? The bowling alley we went to, near New Brunswick, had about 90 lanes, yet we still had to wait an hour to get one.

My dear reader, (notice the singular reader) I sincerely apologize about my delay in posting. I do not have an excuse. I've been trying to update the functionality of the site. I have found it very difficult to accomplish anything when I keep starting over from scratch because I am unhappy with what I've done. It also doesn't help when I get home from doing programming the last thing I want to do is programming. I feel like I've said that before.

So it looks like winter is finally here. my car thermometer said it was 19 degrees on my way home tonight. Have you ever noticed how the thermometers on digital bank signs never match what your car says? who is wrong? I tend to side with my fine German engineering.

I'm having blog writers block right now. Rather than fill the remainder of the blog with drivel (like this), I am going to leave it as is. Stay tuned for more, when I can think of it.

I am on my lunch break and stuck inside a wendy's because it is pouring outside. I don't want to get any wetter than I got by running from my office to my car then from my car to wendy's. I have about 30 minutes left on my lunch break, I figured I would test blogging from my phone.

It took me an hour and a half to drive to work (a trip that usually takes an hour) this morning because of the rain. It hasn't let up since then and it doesn't look like it will for the evening commute. I am not looking forward to that drive.

Yesterday was election day in my home state of NJ. I am glad it is over. I was really sick of the advertisements. Have you ever noticed how the majority of ads are about the negative things the other guy did? Where are the ads about the positive things that you have done you politician whore? I guess you cannot talk about things you have not done and do not intend to do...

I suppose I missed my September post, being October 1st and all. Does anyone else feel that time is going by too quickly? Wasn't I posting about how Christmas came and went quickly only a few blogs ago? (never mind the fact I post once a month)

This past Thursday, I took a day off from work, and 'the gf' brought me into the city (although I did the driving). We went to the top of the Empire State Building, which was cool. After that, we headed to the real reason for the trip to the city, 'the gf' got us tickets to see a taping of Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

We were the second group of people on line, which put us in the front row of the audience. Before the show, Conan came out to rev up the crowd. I am going to sound like a dork, but I got to shake his hand. However that was not the coolest thing. Conan mentioned the ladies in the audience and he did his trademark 'growl' right to my girl friend. It was awesome.

The guests on the show were Amy Poeler, John Stamos, and Nigella Lawson. We were sitting right behind the show's producer. I always felt the conversations between Conan and the guests were fake and contrived, but during the commercial break, I was able to see the scripted conversations on the producer's podium.

It was also funny to see 'Uncle Jesse' sitting alone on the couch during the commercial break staring awkwardly at the audience and around the room while they were preparing for the next bit.

I went to Dunkin Donuts this morning to get some breakfast. I was wearing one of my 'limited edition' likeigiveashit.com t-shirts. The gentleman behind me, who was easily in his 70's, complimented me on my shirt. If I knew I had potential t-shirt customers in the elderly market, then I would have had more produced and would have made a harder attempt to sell them. Although, I don't know how I would react if I saw some really old dude wearing one of my tees...
