Okay, I’ve uninstalled World of Warcraft. So as a parting thought, here’s this video of some character dancing along with their non-WoW inspiration:
Holy cow!!! I screamed so loud when the #2 pick was announced (Seattle, making Portland #1) that I’m surprised no glass in my house broke. They had a 5.3% chance to get the #1 overall pick, and they got it!!! Last year they had the best chance to go #1 and didn’t get it. That draft was much more spread out talent-wise though, and they still managed to get Brandon Roy, who ended up being the Rookie of the Year.
My prediction: The Blazers’ playoff famine is over! If they don’t win a championship by 2012, something’s fishy. I imagine they’ll take Greg Oden. GO BLAZERS!!!
Today after work, I walked up the road in front of my place to check the mail. I noticed something move by my foot, and it turned out to be a snake. It was right in front of my garage, so I got a box and caught the sucker! I’ve never seen one patterned this way before and I have no idea what kind it is. It’s only about 8″ to 10″ long, and not too big around. The orange is very vivid in the sun. Straight stripes, only orange and black. Any clues? (the picture was taken with my camcorder since I have no proper camera, sorry about the poor quality)
Sheepskin sandals. Sweet. Why haven’t I thought of that? These things look super comfy, and supposedly keep your feet both warm in cold weather, and cool in warm weather! Crazy! Any of my multitudes of readers, feel free to buy me a pair. I’ve got size 13 foot. Thanks!
(I think all the readers of this blog know where I live, so I’ll leave that part out 
)
So maybe prediction number 22 is what Ted Stevens was talking about. The series of tubes is Ted’s INTERNET!
I’m a fidgeter. When I have something in hand, I constantly toss it around, flipping it, catching it, juggling it, and whatever else I can do with it. I guess I’m just easy to entertain. At my current job as a couch pusher at a furniture store, I’m usually walking from one place to another with something in my hand. That thing could be a utility knife, a bottle of water, a hammer, a cardboard box, or any vast array of things.
A way to make the fidgiting more fun is to try and hit a target or get something to land on a target. Of course, tossing things into garbage cans (I’d like to transition into calling them rubbish bins one day) is always a fun one. Spitting gum is one of my finely tuned talents. Probably my most shining moment at my job was something that happened in the warehouse one day. I was standing in a spot that was about 25 feet (yeah, we measured it after the amazing feat) from a small, office desk size garbage can and about 15 feet from a bigger trash can. I hollered at a co-worker and asked him where I should spit my gum, so he said to go for the small one, which was out of my site, but I knew where it was by his desk. I accepted the challenge, rolled the gum into a nice ball, placed it on my tongue, inhaled, and launched that sucker. It was quiet, then I heard a slight ripple of the plastic bag that was in the can. Nothing but net! That started a pretty good streak of gum spitting.
Anyway, my point is that life is more fun if you try stuff like that from time to time. Right now at my work, I think there is one quarter, three water bottles, and four rubber bands in the rafters of the warehouse that will probably be there for many years after I leave. It’s funny, I don’t worry about getting caught doing those things because if someone is watching when one of them successfully lands on the target, they’re stunned and impressed. The rate of success is probably about 1%, but it’s totally worth it when it finally works out. I figure if I ever work in a cubicle jungle (won’t happen) my neighbors will have to get used to things flying over their heads or into their cubicles.
Finally, here’s a video made by some guys who seem to think exactly like me:
Haha, somebody took the same idea I had, only took it way further. I love it.
