Why I’m not Crazy…YET.
“I’m going sane the world is crazy”
Here are the top 10 reasons that I am not actually crazy yet.
1) Xbox - If I couldn’t go home and kill digital people I would begin to do it for real. While I love killing the digital figures I really enjoy the joints that have substance and a good story.
2) Working Out - I’m getting to the point where people are asking me to lift things and are amazed that it doesn’t seem that heavy to me. Instead of dreading hitting the weights or running I’m a little upset if I don’t get to. Plus I was banging out in the Y… Flirty, flirty.
3) Star Wars Episode III. I’m in little nerd boy heaven right now and I love it to death. You were the Chosen One!
4) Speaking in a cockney accent. What can I say it just does it for me. Added to the fact that I’m trying to stop cursing it makes the world a little easier.
5) Arizona Iced tea (tall can) This is one of the greatest pleasures of my week. I discovered this awhile ago and recently realized that I’m hooked. If I go into a store and they don’t have it I’m almost angry with them. For one thing this joint is 23.5 ounces of plea-zah. Then it’s only 99 cents. Cheaper than all the smaller bottles of tea or anything else. I dig the Grean tea with plum, but there’s something to be said for the Raspberry tea as well.
6)Making fun of the offices mates. Smart aleck comments fly through the air. Zingers and one liners abound. It is glorious.
7) The sprite refreshing wall website despite the fact that I laughed at it when I found it, it has helped me kill some time in the office without a doubt.
8) Searching for a new pen. I have a thing about pens, being that I write, I dig a certain kind of pen (previously a uniball Vision Elite - Bold)
I also don’t like to let people hold my pen. I’ll often keep a pen I won’t use on me to give to people who ask to hold one. Well, I’m currently on the look out for a fountain pen to call my own. Something that will keep my Calligraphy skills up would be great…plus other people would have too hard a time using it to really bother asking. It’s my lightsaber. However I don’t want to spend this much.
9) Keeping up with the outcomes that would leave a mathematical possiblity of the Ravens being able to make the playoffs. Unless they move to the NFC North soon I’ll have to scratch this off the list.
10) Finding ways to tell where the E.D. is in the building and where she is moving to. This wouldn’t be a problem if she always wore heels and no other ladies. I could go by scent, but that’s not a scent I want to know.
Those are good things to keep a man sane… you want to know what keeps me?
1) The possibillity of tomorrow- it can only get better right?
2) blogging- people have more issues than me
3) splinter cell- no explanation needed
4) nanowrimo- www.nanowrimo.org
5) starbucks- my drug of choice
6) patchouli and lemon oil
7) 400 thread count sheets
8) great friends- real and cyber.
no need to list more…. you get the idea.
Amen to Starbucks…especially ones in Barnes and Noble.

I LOVE writing just as much as the next writer but $4200 for a pen? No way Jose! lol…but I bet it is sweet!
Sanity Keepers?
1. Blogging
2. Lunch breaks, whether I eat or not, I get to leave
3. Giving our resident four door bitch sitting on spinners, a hard time. Simply to verbally spar with her…she is no competition simply amusing.
Yeah…I’m tempted by a $50 joint cause I plan to keep using it…but I think I’d obsess over it.

Wanna know what keeps me sane?
Grits from our cafeteria each morning. They are off the CHAIN!! Except this morning for some reason they were runny and I swear I’ve been snapping at people since 8AM…
Oh…I remember breakfast…that’s when you eat in the morning…right?

okay, got no beef with your list, BUT….i cant get with you on the arizona ice tea thing. I too was once an Arizona addict, but then the question came…how the hell do they give you so much juice for so damn little cost? hmmmm? The idea, scares me at my core!!! So i dont drink it anymore….true i smoke cigarettes, but at least i know whats in that!! But Arizona?? NEVER!!
Sorry my current addiction will not allow me to remember this comment, I’m going to crawl into the bottom of a can now…

Loved this list man. Again, I wish I could get into video games, but that’s an addiction waiting to happen. My unconditional haven comes from knowing that my peeps are enjoying them for me.
I HATE missing my workouts man. I can get pretty indignant around my coworkers when I miss my jam session at Gold’s. I’m not even trying to hear that.
I’m fickle about folks using my pen as well, but I have hypochondriac issues. Not thinking I’ll get ill, but that I’ll catch the cooties from these nasty azz mo’fo man!
#10 - LMAO!!!

Office humor can definitely get you thru the day, no doubt, at my old gig we said cracking on our supervisor, till one day he flips the script right back. No professional, I loved it.
And yeah working out is great for them dry in between spells too, when your sheets are very cold on one side.
Lol

Arizona Raspberry is the shiznit. I stay stocked up on that and ‘Full Throttle’ (the energy drink, by Coke) — keeps me buzzin’ through those late-night coding/surfing sessions, whatever the case may be.

I’m obsessed over pens as well. I don’t play when it comes to pens, and I only use my own pens when I come to work. That I payed for. Fuck the company writing utensils. Noticing how complimentary my pen is to my handwriting, gets me through the day. That and going off in a corner somewhere eating squares of a rich, creamy, Cadbury dark chocolate bar.
I got busted today and had to flipping share with one of the exhibit developers. >;-(
