Tetris, Life, and Love....actually Love has nothing to do about it.

I woke up this morning, groggy as usual and feeling somewhat relieved today would be the last 11 hour work day I would be pulling until next week. For whatever reason I started to think of the random quotes I have used over the past years. I don't know why, but I started to tie them into the game Tetris. Now, Im not going to pretend that this is an original thought, but I don't ever remember looking up something inspirational about that game but here is what I thought, "Life is like the game of tetris. Random crap keeps coming at you, but its up to you to decide how its going to fit in." Later today I looked online and apparently a lot of people make Tetris comparisons, but still...there it is, my inspirational thought of the day.

Summer time treats

I have no problem admitting that many of the things I still enjoy doing I did as a child. For example flying kites, coloring, and on a recent date I even made paper boats. However, today I was super bored and wanted a popsicle. I thought I would get creative and make my own using punch and an ice tray. If memory serves me, there is even an episode of care bears that teaches you how to do this. Anyway, I didn't have any punch mix ( I do have juice boxes but that's different) and so I thought I would get creative and use a can of Mt.Dew. Since I used Mt.Dew I wanted to call them "adult popsicles," but that sounded dirty for some reason. In fact while I am thinking about it, adding the word "adult" in front of any noun or activity makes it dirty; adult movies, adult books etc....but I digress back to my original point; Mt.Dew popsicles. Here is the proof of my creativity...
I would like to point out that a standard sized can of Mt.Dew filled all but 4 of the trays

Nothing says Freedom like balloons

I meant to post this a while ago, but forgot...deal with it.
Anyway, the Friday before the 4th of July, this is what I ran into on the way to work...it was pretty dope, especially because a lot of them were flying really really low.

Being productive at work...

One of my sales people sent this to me today; it made me laugh...

    1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your
    computer history if you die.

    2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize
   you're wrong.

    3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I
was younger.

    4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

    5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

    6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

    7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm
pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

    8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how
the person died.

    9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

    10. Bad decisions make good stories.

    11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
    when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the
    rest of the day.

    12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't
    want to have to restart my collection...again.

    13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
    if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear
    I did not make any changes to.

    14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
    answer when they call.

    15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

    16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
    Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

    17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

    18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

    19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
    and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

    20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to
    prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and
    sisters!

    21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
    and you can wear them forever.

    22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not
    know what time it is.

    23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
    keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the
    Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3
    feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
