sabbatical

there are only so many hours in a day. so, in order to concentrate on actually accomplishing my big fat list of goals for 2009, something needs to go. hence, i'm taking a sabbatical from this blog.

i'll still be posting to the little life and work hacks blog. and maintaining peanut's blog is a must for the greater good of all dogkind [watch for a site to be up by the end of the year, where she'll sell items, with proceeds going to animal causes]. and continuing to recount tales of all things romantic on barni the bus [watch for an online store].

3...2...1...go!

odes to vice and consequences

i didn't enjoy a glass of wine while listening, as was recommended in the sidebar, but this is still the best video - because of the audio - i've heard in a long time. altogether too rare a grand performance. 17 minutes.

my will to rant has finally returned

i normally don't like to be negative. well, except to say that i hate negative people.

however, another faction has now gotten my dander up: people who make assumptions.

there's the old adage that people use (when you assume you make an ass out of u and me). apparently few people heed this message. so you all the u's out there:

i hate people that assume because you don't have a job that you don't work. being self-employed is five times more work than having a job. it's just countered by being five times more rewarding. and a much higher dollar to hour ratio.

i hate people that assume because they aren't capable of doing something, that you are not.

i hate people who claim to be your friend but don't bother to try to get to know you.

i hate people who assume i had a standard upbringing. (see previous gripe)

i hate people who text/apply makeup and drive. have the common decency to respect the well being of other people on the road.

i hate people that think they are more important than anybody else.*

i hate people who don't respect time as your most valuable - and non-renewable - resource.

thank you for your time, gentle reader.

*you aren't. if you need proof, just check with any dog; i bet they like any bum on the street just as much as you.
