Just Sayin......

OK, haven't wrote on here in a while, But....I needed to just complain about this one little thing and then I'll get out of your hair.

This little saying popped up a little while back and now it's spreading like wild fire. I can't figure out what the origin is, but it's climbing into the rankings with the likes of:

"Talk to the hand"

"Can you hear me now?"

"Doh!"

"Watchu talk bout Willis?"

"That's what she said"

"Just do it"

"I'm just chillaxin"

"Your mom went to college"

"What up Dawg"

and

"You'll end up living in a van, down by the river!"

(Well maybe not that last one)

Here it is: "Just sayin"

I'll give you an example:

"Did you see Sara's new haircut?"

"Yeah, it looks good"

"Well, I think it looks like crap, Just sayin"

It's like someone just gave you free reign to say whatever you want, and as long as you say: "Just sayin" at the end then you're all good - can't be mad at me because I'm just sayin...........

(I said no offense)

At no other time throughout you're day is it important to tell people what you just did.......

While walking up the stairs: "Good morning, Just walkin"

While typing: "Sorry hold on a sec, Just typin"

While eating lunch: "So how have you been, Just eatin"

While driving down Eureka Rd.: "What is your problem? why can't you just learn how to drive, Just ragin"

Other people disguise that fact that they are really just pushing their opinions onto you - in a somewhat subtle way (but not really).

I'm "Just sayin" that's all I'm doing. I'm not "Just tellin" you how its gonna be

or

I'm not "Just screamin" at you for leaving all the lights on

or

I'm not "Just stadin" up for what's right....nooooooooo... I'm"Just sayin" so that means that it's not as offensive.

It's just another way for people to take a neutral standing on something.......While actually having a strong opinion on the matter...........

Just sayin

This is so last month

I currently have almost no time at all to write, read or even skim over blogs. The only time that I can do this is at lunch or during occasional lulls at work. Today I found a blog that I really enjoyed. Instead of reiterating the same thing, I thought that I would just link over to it.

Here is a teaser - the first line of the blog (you'll want to read the rest):

" Islamic Fundamentalism is to Islam as __________ is to Christianity.

The Answer?

The KKK."

The Tom Show

I have been REALLY busy lately. I started my own business in April of this year "Arrowtech Computer Solutions" - I fix computers and sell office supplies, sell computers, etc. Meanwhile, I am still working at my previous employer Tuesday through Friday - I can't find a second to breathe.

Really it's not 100% true - I mean, it's factually true, all of those things happened - but the time part may have been a stretch. I am horrible at time management. For some reason, I have to take time once a day to watch a T.V. show. I should be able to go one full day without watching T.V. - It's like drug.

Have you ever seen the movie "The Truman Show", some days I feel like Truman Burbank -like today is the same as last. Everyday I get up do the same routine, but on the same clothes (they're clean, don't worry) and I brush my teeth the same way I drive the same route to work sit in the same traffic everyday and do the same tasks at work. I come home and sit in the same chair and watch T.V. go to sleep in the same bed and stare at the same black ceiling for hours. I feel like I'm not making any progress at all. I am running in place.

I recently hurt my back....again - and I had to go see Dr. Nick (Chiropractor). His office is in Newport so it's a little ways down I-75. When I get to the stretch right before Newport where the road straightens out and there is farm land on both sides of the freeway I think about what would happen if I just keep on driving, just drove until I hit that cloud painted screen where the fake world ends.

Then I get off at the Newport exit and go about my day.

The Disposition Center

I am currently making a huge mess out of my house. We decided to move, well, pretty much everything in our house to a new location. Room C was our master bedroom. Room A was my office and Room B was.......well no one really knows what room B was. Kind of a storage room\closet\changing room\ laundry hamper\library.

Anyways, I (by myself) emptied out Room A and B into the living room dinning room area. Then my cousin (Dave) and I moved all of the furniture from Room C into Room A and B. And on top of it all, I'm painting Room A.

So when everything is said and done - Room A will be a spare room\dressing room (Both of our dressers will be in there) Room B will be the bedroom (Just the bed and two night stands) and Room C will be Hell......um .....I mean .... my office.

All of this leading up to the actually story.

As many of you know, I recently started my own company (Arrowtech Computer Solutions) and I needed office gear. My friend Rich told me about this magical place in Ann Arbor that sells all of the stuff that U of M wants to be rid of. Old desks, Book shelfs, file cabinets, computers, vehicles, electronics, etc. etc. - Anything that they want to get rid of. So, I decided to go because I needed a good desk and a workbench.

This place is awesome, I was in a nerdy heaven of used electronics and gizmos and gadgets of all types. I could have spent hours upon hours in there, not to mention thousands of dollars. But as a responsible adult (who was on a budget) I got what I needed and got out. Here's what I made out with.

1 - Steelcase Computer Desk (in good condition) - $50

1 - Work bench\table - $20

1 - Office chair - $20

1 - Office lamp - $10

100 bones - that's pretty good for pimping out an office - I think. Anyways I just wanted to inform all of you about the U of M Disposition Center and all of it's glory.

Peace - TH

Your brain on the 11 o'clock

You guys have already heard about my crazy voice mail service - it just makes voice mail so much more fun when the message is scrambled. I've started playing a game where I try to decipher the message before I listen to it and then see how close I get.

I'm easily amused.

On Saturday, I was at a graduation party for Bri's cousin (Becca) and I was sitting at the table and got this phone call, it was a number that I did not recognize but since I started using my cell for a business phone, I've been answering random calls. Well, I was sitting at a table filled with Bri's family so I decided to let this one slide.

When I looked at the voice mail transcript I almost laughed out loud (That's right - a real life, actual LOL) but I refrained (I believe that's - LIMH). The message read: "Your brain on the 11 o'clock"

For some reason the first thing that popped into my head was Devin Scillian from Channel 4 saying: "Tonight an exclusive interview with your brain, That's right learn what your brain might not be telling you tonight on the 11 o'clock news"

The person who left the message actually said: " Well, they don't even answer the phone!"

Not even close to the transcript - but they said it really fast.

Speaking of news anchors, and just so everyone is aware. Bri is totally infatuated with Ben Bailey from Fox 2.

I on the other hand, think that he's s dork - that's right, and if I every see him in public I'll probably go right up to him and........get his autograph for Bri.....and then punch him in his cute little face.

There's no romantic jealousy here, move along people.

T.H. out

Math

Let's do some math

(These are all rough estimates)

25% of people can't use new technology when it becomes available, because, it's just toooooo hard to learn and no one will teach them - so they play dumb (some of them, just really are dumb, sorry)

Ok so - that leaves 3/4 of the pie. - out of that 75% - half of them try to use it and fail miserably. I mean they just have no idea what they are doing, but they try and try and try and fail.

So that leaves, um.........roughly 37.5%

Half of that group sneaks by with a limited amount of knowledge, just enough to impress the other 62.5% that don't know what they are doing at all.

That leaves us with 18.75% - Ok half of this group actually kind of knows what they are doing, but for some reason they just don't use it - for whatever reason. Maybe they can't afford to buy it or they just really like the old one, or someone told them not to get the new one, I don't know. This group gets it, they just don't use it.

That leaves 9.375% - The experts, nothing else said. They completely get it 100%.

You can apply this to anything: Computers, Cameras, T.V.'s - any gizmo or gadget you can think up.

Fact.

Solve this, and you solve the current economic crisis (not really)
