Stupid, stupid, stupid...

So, today has just been a day of stupids...me and the external forces in life that I blame my failures on. First, Stupid Weatherman. Stupid Weatherman, thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me know that I should ignore the feeling I had in my gut that it was going to rain today. Okay, it was a stupid television station that I tuned into this morning that said that rain was no where in the forecast for the next several days. You lie. By the afternoon, everyone knew the jig was up. Never had I heard so many people in my office, on the street and on my evening commute wonder out loud where the rain came from. Nice.

Second, Stupid Me. Stupid me decided to take an earlier bus home today instead of going with my usual bus driver. This bus comes a good half hour earlier than my usual bus so I figured why not, I can use the extra 30 minutes to, well, goof off on the internet. Yeah, smart. My usual bus driver, George, speeds through traffic like he's got a hot date at the end of his destination; we (my fellow passengers) love 'em! Thanks to the traffic congestion caused by the drivers in the DC area (it is my belief that one drop of precipitation in the DC area negates 20 years of driving experience) who weren't expecting God's tears to fall from the sky, I arrived at my house 15 minutes sooner than usual. Not a half hour, 15 minutes. And even though I can't go back in time and video tape my current driver, I can guarantee you, the readers of this post...the both of you, that my driver arrived at my bus stop ten minutes after today's driver did.

'Cause George the Bus Driver is the man!

And third, Stupid Work-out. Stupid Work-out. Stupid health. Stupid pre-disposition to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and everything else that can kill an African-American male between the ages of 18 and, well natural causes. Stupid internet. Stupid distraction that eats up time and doesn't give me enough time to workout.

Oh no, there's nothing really deep or positive about this part of this entry, it's just whine to go with my cheese.

SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant

Excellent!     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant via DCist by Sommer Mathis on 6/16/09 Metro formally announced today that SmarTrip users can add value to their cards at select CVS and Giant Food stores . Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...

Shoveling. Snow. Saints!

The last eight days have truly been the stuff of legends!  First, the snow on Friday!  As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alexandria, VA.  Aside from the four years that I served in the Army, I've spent roughly 32 years of my life in the familiar surroundings of traffic, traffic and more traffic.  That being said, I have NEVER EVER seen anything like this.  One could make the argument that there was the blizzard of '96...but I was still in Georgia at the time so technically, this is a first for me.  I gotta say, I love snow.  Not the shoveling, but the sound of snow falling; so quiet, so serene.  Truly a thing a beauty...and the fact that I missed several days of work because of it doesn't hurt.  I also didn't miss the fact that we lost approximately 20 hours of power in the first 48 hours of said snow storm.  Honestly, I didn't mind it so much.  We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time!  You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel...

Ma'am I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job!

I wrote this in response to a friend who posted a blog entry about heroes a few days ago: When I was a young boy, my aunt would let me and my sister go to 7-Eleven; it was one of the few areas we were allowed to go by ourselves. Generally, I was there for a Slurpee, but once a week, something magical would happen: the 7-Eleven would receive new comics!!! Oh joy! New comics! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Captain America, the X-Men and my favorite, Spider-Man. Yes, for the longest, he's been one of my favorites to read and even though I don't buy comics anymore (are you kidding me, look at the price tag?!?) I still casually read it when I'm in my favorite bookstore and occasional, I'll buy graphic novels. He's been my favorite for several main reasons: 1-He's like me. Oh sure, he was a teenager by the time I started reading but I understood what it was like to have a good day at school but a bad day at home. Or a good day at home, a ...
