Stuff that is never in the same place I am. Picked up a USB stick this AM, and stuck in in bathrobe pocket. Robe upstairs, I'm downstairs.
Can't find the tape dispenser. Was on cutting table yesterday. Apparently cats must have decided it was a new toy and knocked it on the floor where it couldn't be seen easily. Big office type, too.

Me... I grind my gears...
I am having a bad day today.
I wish I could just make people smile... but sometimes... for just some unknown strange reason... it just comes out the wrong way...
I don't know if it is me that grinds my gears or what it is...
When I am at cross roads... and pathways... the ones where you just don't know which way to go... up down?.... left or right?... or interestingly enough you backtrack to try figure out why you got there in the first place... and need to digest what you know... or what you think you might know... but then you wish you could all just let it all go... like some kind of butterfly...
This I guess does not grind my gears... but makes me sad in a weird way...
Dang it I am having a bit of bad day today.
I sometimes believe I am my own jailer... I am my own warden... I hold the keys... but something refrains me from using them?... I feel the center I do not want it to hold so... in order to learn more I must dive deeper and if not... then I am my own prison... I must set myself free... do I adapt... or do I die trying my same way?
What is this strange world all about - sometimes I just cannot understand it.
The raging lunatic politician yelling his or her lungs out at the world... the kid that you never even knew had been sexually abused to hell and back... this world sometimes I just cannot understand it all.
Friends come and go... it the good ones that last... the 1's that are willing to have patience, tolerance and willing to let go of his or her ego... the ones that understand that none of us are perfect ... because perfect is over rated anyway.
Perfect... is totally over rated...
God... you know sometimes how much I wish I could be just a ruddy stupid brick... can I have this wish for 1 day?
Please....?
I want to get hit on the head... so I can be stupid and oblivious to everything...
Make me stupid... I want to be almost as dumb as they come...
Stupify me...
Hit me up.

I have a gripe - going to a music store (the kind that sells guitars, drums, basses & keyboards - I play all of those instruments, plus ukelele and accordion) - and have some salesperson half my age telling me what I need... I keep current with all the products, and technology - but having a kid with gauged earlobes telling me what I need really gets me PO'd... my rant for the day...
Does the SA with gauged earlobes know you're an accomplished musician, who already knows what you want to buy?
There's many peeps that'll walk into a music store, just to grab the nearest electric guitar and start abusing "Smoke On The Water". LOL

I can definitely understand that and it does tick me off as well in those situations.
Ok what does this...
...this...
...and this...
...all have in common?
It's extremely irritating.

And the correct answer is ... Dallas Theme - Crazy Frog.
For anyone who doesn't know it...

It's only a low-fi 20 second clip which is fair use IMO, before anyone starts screaming copyright infringement. ...however if anyone wishes to use it as an obnoxious ringtone...
There's a wine and cigarette shop I walk past every day, and that "song" is always playing rather loudly....noise pollution indeed.

Addendum:
Couldn't find the USB stick - it went through the washer and dryer. The Vulcan found it in his clothes.
Still works, though. It was covered.
thats because there is no such thing as a USB stick 
. USB flash drives are different from (Sony) Sticks.
I learned to to use the name 'stick' because people would go to computer stores and wind up with crappy memory sticks, Sony I hate you almost as much Apple for your stupid proprietary technologies.

Gt racing 2. Game is great, however when you get a fast car you can't win with steering assistance on because you go to show, and you can't win with it off because your car spins out of control every time you turn.

I used Sony Clie PDAs. I do have memory sticks. We also have a Sony HandiCam, which uses them. I've seen them called Pen Drives.

When they first came out - around 25.00 and up for 16 M.
To anyone who uses them elsewhere besides a computer. It has memory and you stick it in. Seriously, you can transfer embroidery files to sewing machines with them.
I still have all mine except for the ones that got broken or corrupted. I have a working UX-50.

When you see me coming into a music store - you see a guy who's a bit on the gimpy side, as I'm disabled - but with a hoop earring stolen from Mr. Kleen, a shaved head, almost 6 feet tall in boots, goatee, 210 lbs, I'm gonna either be a biker, a musician, or both. Before my back surgeries, and worse things - I used to be a biker, and a musician. The Road King got sold in the middle of my divorce; alas, I can't ride any more, anyhow. When I try out something in a music store, you might think: "hmmm... this cat's got some chops..." - my guitar idols are Jeff Beck, Allan Holdsworth, Joe Pass, Al DiMeola, et al - I would never play Stairway To Heaven, and though I love Ritchie Blackmore - it would be: "Ixnay on the 'Oke On The Water-Say" (polysyllabic Pig Latin"). mikedt, you're a riot...!
A riot..LOL.
OK here's me sat in front of the laptop webcam, with my favourite coffee.
No hair, 50, wearing denim and teaching English.
I was never really a biker, but have always rode bikes though.

Wow, mikedt - we're brothers from different mothers - you and I could put a new spin on, "My hair... my hair. I can't do a thing with it!" LoL

I gave up with the hair thing when I was half my age.
