Monday Musings

  • I really hate when my boss emails me to do something and I’m in the middle of something else. Especially when that something is the next thing I’m going to do because I do it at the same damn time every damn day.
  • I hate begging for money. But I am fundraising for a race so I have to. There are only so many ways I can ask for your hard-earned cash. And this year, not even bribing people with the chance to win gift certificates is working. Damnit.
  • I applied for my first North Carolina job last night. A marketing assistant for a packaging company. 99% sure they will not call me since I have a Georgia address but I have a gameplan. I found a website that lists companies in Raleigh. So I am going to get in contact with every one of them and send a resume and coverletter to them stating my intention to move to Raleigh in August.
  • Oh so Berryfine you are moving? Well, it depends on where I find a job first.
  • Raleigh would be a good fit since it has been named the number 1 singles city in America. Bing, bang, boom.
  • My dreams of nabbing a baseball beau are slowly dying.
  • My favorite SNL skit from the season finale. Just because who hasn’t sat through an awards ceremony and thought it was bullshit. In our current EVERYONE’S A WINNER mode, kids grow up thinking it doesn’t matter what the fuck they do and how hard they try cause everyone is awesome at the end of the day.
  • 99% of the time I think Sarah Palin is a blubbering idiot who has skated past on her looks (I’m sure in Alaska she’s the prettiest thing they’ve ever seen in person). But I can’t help but laugh at Gibbs getting pissed that she pointed out Obama received the most money from BP PACs and individuals. If this is in fact true, she didn’t say all oil companies, she just said BP. And the two of them sparring is entertaining as hell since she takes to her Twitter account to make clear her remarks. Stay Classy, Sarah.
  • I obviously have no idea what my readers want judging from your lack of response to my 100th post and free Dick Towel. If you don’t like the Dick Towel, you might be reading the wrong blog. I’m not judging you, I’m just pointing out a fact you should be aware of.
  • I gave Barbie a 1pm deadline to let me know about dinner. Part of me says, I don’t want to go. I’m broke, I have no gas, I want to go home and I ate poorly this weekend and today ain’t going much better. The other part of me says I want my fucking surprise and I want to give her hers. Prior to her birthday which is next month.
  • My checkbook says $29. My bank account says after car insurance, credit card bill and donation to CCFA I will have $193. I really want to believe my bank. But I don’t want to overdraw my account.
  • Dear Kenny Powers, COME BACK NOW. I have watched the dvd so much, it skips. I need new episodes in my life STAT. That is all.
  • On a related note, here’s looking at you Justin Timberlake. I’m over listening to NSYNC and your last album on repeat. Give me new shit that is YOURS and not you helping a performer out. Por Favor.
  • I need to set up a thing that tells me how much traffic this site gets. Click throughs are important too. Anyone know how I can get the ball rolling on that shit?
  • While the rest of you fuckers are out of town for Memorial Day Weekend, I will be diligently working on work, my blogs and my novels. Probably calling you fuckers was a bad choice of wording. Whoops.
  • I love the idea of actually going 10 Round with Jose Cuervo. Who wants to see if we can make this happen?
  • Barbie cancelled. I'm making a sad face.

Berryfine! While I 100% LOVE the fact that you are giving away a Dick Towel, I don't personally have a use for it, as I would not want to look like I have a dick. But I do support your efforts and I will tweet your blog - and I already link back to it from my blog.

Secondly, I couldn't agree more about J Timberlake - it's been WAY too long since he put out an album.

Third (and finally), go to www.google.com/analytics. Your gmail account can be used to set up the analytics and you can track your traffic. You'll see where people are viewing the blog from (twitter, fb, etc), and geographically where your followers are and lots of other cool stuff. Your labels can become your "keywords" so you'll see that some people stumbled upon your blog because you "labeled" sarah palin (for example).

Hope this helps!

Blaire! Thanks! For the linking and details. However, I believe the Dick Towel could make an excellent gift so feel free to enter anyway. I'm sure you could give it to the bros and they would heart you forever ;) hahahaha.

Also, I am behind on your blog- I apologize!

Two weeks and dinner will be even better? I think maybe for you since not only will you get your surprise but also your birthday gift...
