10 in ’10
Instead of being long winded with this as is my usual modus operandi, here’s a little list of 10 things I learned in ’10, based on frageelay’s meme.
Hope will fuck you up.
I learned enough Python to be dangerous.
You can dissolve a 20 year marriage in less than two weeks if everyone is cool about stuff.
Dating sucks at any age.
Never stop writing.
Imaginary people from the...

If I End Up Dying Alone, It'll Be Because of Stuff...
Apparently, “Fuck off. I love you and I’m in love with you and I like it and I hope this feeling never goes away, so deal with it,” is how I tell someone “I love you” these days.
So there’s that.
WatchThe 16YO and the “wah pedal” he got for Christmas violate the “No Stairway” rule with gusto and with somewhat hilarious results.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Finally Motivated
Let’s see, it’s about 10AM on December 24th.
Yep, feels like the time is right to begin thinking about getting out there to start my Christmas shopping.

You Walked Into That One, Sorry
“Looks like you got some fun new toys there!”
Co-worker to me, after gawking at the new computers
Dear co-worker—
Surrounding my desk right now are tens of thousands of dollars of computer equipment. Later I will re-image their stock hard drives with thousands of dollars of legally purchased software our studio owns with a standard install I have meticulously and scrupulously...
Truthful Tuesday 12-21-2010
I have officially become a “morning person” now. I wake up these days around six without even having to set an alarm. I get all kinds of crap done in the mornings and my creative energy also seems to have some kind of “fresh from my sub-concious” funky vibe to it that I really enjoy and I’ve begun writing for an hour or so before going to work. I seem to have made...

I just “gave up” Christmas with the kids this year to my ex.
“Gave up” is a weird way to say it, but according to the decree it’s technically my turn to have the Christmas holiday with the brood. Basically, I would have had them on Christmas Eve until late evening on Christmas Day.
That was the plan and I’d assured the 7YO that Santa was well aware of the...
New Title for My Business Card
I just got called “an adorable jackass.”
I don’t really know what it means, but it sounds like something to aspire to, doesn’t it?

This Is One of the Things That Happen When the...
I forgot to eat tonight.
It’s two o’clock in the morning right now and I’m thinking to myself, “Huh. I’m kinda hungry. What’s the deal with that?”
I worked back through my evening and realized none of the activities tonight included eating a meal of any sort or even anything remotely resembling food.
Weird.
I don't know what to think about myself when I...

Besides that I am a magnificent dork.
You were sitting that whole time?
At some point, you need to build yourself a giant pillow fort in your bed like I did.
Wait, did I say “giant pillow fort?”
I meant, something besides “giant pillow fort.” I was squatting on a hard, cold concrete floor the whole time. Like we *real* man do.
I have been awake since 6 AM.
It’s Saturday.
I did this voluntarily.
If I end up being a productive member of society because of this, I’m going to be pissed.
I don’t know what that means either.
You know why? Because I’ve been up since 6 AM, it’s Saturday, I’ve run out of things to clean and I’m incoherent.
WatchA small part of our studio’s holiday video.
We really are quite something.

In Which My Awesome Can Not Be Contained
Last night I talked to a delightful, smart, hilarious and beautiful woman on the phone.
(Those of you who know me will intuit immediately that this was the first mistake of many I’d make. I don’t do well on the phone. I tend to get nervous, blather, lose my train of thought and ultimately that train runs right off the rails and a massive chemical spill such as the following happens....

I never used to feel ashamed about being single until I would be buying some groceries (2 beers, one microwave meal, one small pudding, 300ml of milk) and would see the look of judgement in the cashier’s eyes. He knew. He said nothing, but he knew. Then the 21st century saved me: self-checkouts. I could just scan and go.
Oh, Ryan. You complete me.
That’s not weird,...
A Tipsy Nerd is a Dangerous Nerd
When I woke up this morning and looked at my laptop I was shocked by what I saw.
Apparently, in what I thought would be a hilarious* bit of fun, I began writing a small shell script in my less than stable state which would tell our local DNS server at work to re-direct all requests to Facebook to an internal site which said, “GET BACK TO WORK OR YOU’RE FIRED. XOXOXO, The...

Look, I’m not saying I had too much Knob Creek this evening, but it is true that I don’t know where my pants are, I love everyone and I have zero fine motor skills.
And that phones are the devil, even when you haven’t applied too much good Kentucky bourbon to your soul.
