funny things i said today

At least I think I'm funny--sometimes.  At least you never know what's going to come out of my mouth...

situation 1:  I'm standing in the hall, finishing up a 7:30 am meeting (I had 4 meetings today), and Primus (the security guard walks in.

Primus:  Good morning, Mr. Kingston, Mr. Eastridge, young lady.

Me:  Hey--I am not YOUNG, and I am NOT a lady.

Primus:  (after a few beats)  Well, uh, yeah.

I thought it was funny anyway.

situation 2:  first day of the semester.  students are hoping I grew a heart over the weekend.

Tony:  Is this class going to get easy?

Me:  No.  I'm never easy.

Tony:  (kidding) Ah, you suck!

Me:  No.  I never suck because I am never easy.

He got it after a few seconds.  A few other students did too.  But more than half the class were left saying, HUH?

Most of the time, I amuse myself as much as possible so I can get through the day.

just when you think your initials are safe...

they show up in the Urban Dictionary....great. 

CRS:

"Can't Remember Shit". Popularized by the movie Glory Daze.

Ex: I look back just a month ago and CRS.

Well, it is tradition to begin each new year with a blog entry, but unfortunately I feel no profound statement to place on this upcoming year. 

Here's to getting older,

lonelier,

more skeptical,

less confident the world will open like an oyster before you,

more realistic of what the future holds...

and perhaps a little wiser, but never stronger.

Back when I was younger
I was someone you'd have liked
Got an old guitar I had for years i'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't dying enough to know
There's still some livin' left when your prime comes and goes

this would have actually been posted on my birthday, but I got distracted.  thanks

As depressed as I get...I need to remember that it could be worse...
