Random Smandom VI
Nothing to see here, move along. *g*
Analytics: My blog traffic has slowed to a measly 5 thousand hits a month now. Guess my absence as of late is showing. I’m still solidly a "referral blog". Meaning? Most folks who find me do so thru another blog vs just random search engine queries. Large Tony is still the leader in referrals. Twice the number as anyone else. brettcajun is holding a respectable second place like a trooper. And a surprise, Durban bud is bringing up the rear. [1]as he tends to do. *EG*

Did you know if you put 4 lesbians together in one sitting they will share their most intimate medical history out loud? My ears are still burning.
*
It was HOT here yesterday. Today is a bearable 63 degrees out. Hot weather makes me frisky. Oy!
*
I finished Call of Duty 4. I was reluctant to play at first however, it is a decent game. I still have an issue w/playing games where humans are killing each other. However, I am an adult and I KNOW the difference. The online matches are great if you like XBL. [2]Xbox live

I’ve been good about hitting the gym. I decided to work on bulk the first 3 months and leaning out the last 3 months. I a little proud of how often I’ve been going. I tend to be a slacker on weekends but not lately. People are noticing so I must be doing something right.
*
I’ve been hiding the daily journal entries as I figured they were boring everyone. I got several inquires as to why I wasn’t doing them anymore. Ok, ok, I’ll leave them open. I will be kind enough to turn off the subscribe notification thingy so you don’t get bombarded.
*
I think I corrupted my blog database. My posts are acting erratic. One from last night just showed up and another is MIA completely.
Catching Up
I got to work today and they attempted to saddle me with yet another trainee. After I lost my ever-loving mind, they corrected the error.
I apologized for my temper however, not for the incompetence. I have enough seniority and clout I can usually get my way. I don’t abuse it though. I’m almost always agreeable. I ask a lot so I give a lot.

I was joking on twitter last night about my future ex husband and I never getting together if he kept ignoring me. This Greek god of a man just makes my mouth water. Well, until I overheard his conversation with another meathead. Arrogance is so 90’s. Nothing makes my dick go limp faster than attitude. The honeymoon is definitely over. Blech.
Funny
I rarely link to stuff however, I found this vid very funny. I stole it off Towleroad.
Look Harder
brettcajun sent me an email the other day asking if I was ok. I haven’t been posting as much so he got worried. [1]In case you missed it somehow, we Southerners LOVE to talk. I guess he hasn’t been reading the fewer posts. (j/k Brett)
The biggest factor is my work schedule. I tend to blog a lot from work in my downtime. Since, I’ve had trainees for the last two and half months, no free time at all lately. I’m a very involved trainer and like most things I do, I give it 100%.
Knowing a skill and teaching a skill are two entirely different things. I’m good at what I do yes but, I’m better at teaching what I do. [2]I wanted to be a teacher however, the dismal salaries discouraged me early on. Am I the best? Probably not. There are plenty of other folks in my job that have been doing it almost as long as I’ve been alive. Experience plays a big factor in my line of work. Am I the best at teaching what I do? Pretty damn close. The trainees often fight to get me as a trainer. Of course, I’m flattered but I’m also gratified to know I’m contributing. I have a strong work ethic and I like instilling it (or trying to) into new cadets. That said, I am tired. I’m worn out and more than a little happy next week is my last week for a while.
Anyway, I’m digressing. The simplest answer is I’m busy. Life comes first then the blog. I don’t blog as much on weekends. And even though I keep forgetting to post my measurements, I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard. I’ve upped my schedule to 5 days a week w/4 days dedicated to weights and one day just for cardio. With all the changes in my schedule, something had to give. And with my continuing addiction to twitter, I find I can post short quick updates vs the more drawn out effort of blogging. What? You aren’t on twitter? Shame on you. Sure about 50% of the stuff on twitter is useless driven but I like that kind of stuff.
So there you have it. I haven’t given upon blogging or any such nonsense. I’m just a busy bee. Expect the madness to return in about a week.
Who Dat?
A twitter buddy asked me to post this. Nowhere near the guns that adam has but I try. *G*
Riddle Me This
One of my resolutions this year was to finally get the extra tattoos I’ve been wanting. I figured I’ll start off with a shot of my original one. Behold! The Mobius Strip. The origins of my blog name and nickname. [1]What? You thought Moby was my real name? Come on, just because I’m practically plugged in 24/7 doesn’t mean I’m stupid!
I’ve finally decided on the first of my new tattoos. I’m starting with the back of my forearms. Then the lower stomach. I may get one more after that but not sure yet.

Bitter? Party of 1?
Catching up on the blogroll again, I see brettcajun has fallen victim to a drive by nasty gram. Lord knows, I’ve had my share so I feel for him. Sometimes, I think people do it just to get a rise out of him however, still doesn’t make it ok. Said folks, always anonymous, [1]or so they think are cowards in the simplest form. If you feel so strongly about something, have the balls to back it up with your name and/or email address. Leaving chicken shit comments w/o your name just makes you a pussy and invalidates anything you have to say.
I am reminded of a little sparring match Brett and I had via twitter about 2 weeks ago. We were discussing a philosophical difference in our approach to life. I got 3 different emails afterward asking if I was mad at Brett, kicking him off my blog, blah blah blah. Yes, it is true Brett and I sometimes disagree. Just as I have disagreed with other bloggers over the last few years. I am a grown man and if I can say it, I am willing to back it up. I can also strongly disagree with someone w/o resorting to name calling and other childish behaviors. If you read me with any regularity, you discover I speak my mind. That doesn’t change for people I know. And if your friendship hinges on my always agreeing with you, well I don’t wanna be your friend anyway.
My point is simple. Afford people the manners and common courtesy you would expect in return regardless of the communication medium.

Nothing To See Here II

This is back when I had hair. I think I look so gay in this pic. lol Even then I think it was obvious. Anyway, this was one of the few birthdays I actually celebrated, courtesy of my Grandma. She baked the cake and traveled 100 miles. I loved that old bird.
Happy weekend bitches. Hope it is a good one.
I Never Said…
