Instagram addiction

In an effort to revive my blogging prowess, I'll post some snaps I've taken recently since my blog has gotten pretty stale.  I am probably like everyone else when it comes to Instagram.  You take a picture, Instagram it, then all of a sudden you are the best photographer since 1976.  Gettin' all nostalgic over a mediocre photo, that instantly becomes a classic; worthy of your greatest family album. I hate to admit it but I have a slight addiction.

It's been a while....

Nothing that funny has been going on but I thought I thought of something funny the other day while playing softball in my work softball league.  So we are pretty much at the bottom of the barrel this year.  We haven't won a stinkin game yet, and last week was our best chance.  We were facing the only other team that hadn't had a win yet.  We were up probably 8 runs in the last inning and just fell apart. Ended up losing on a walk off double.  Anyway, there was this one kid on the other team who was pretty ripped.  He even had the cutoff shirt to go with it.  (I don't advise, muscles or not, to ever wear a cutoff shirt) I was thinking to myself, "ah, sun's out, guns out" but he was pretty pasty white.  I was thinking maybe he only breaks out his "guns" in an indoor range.

HIGH IMPORTANCE

If you mark an email with high importance more than once a year, the second email you send with high importance goes to the bottom of my importance list.

Blind leading the Blind

There's a Center for the Blind not too far from my office so I always see random blind people (that sounds terrible, "see random blind people") with their tappin sticks.  This one guy today was tappin seriously hard. I could hear him from almost a block away.  He was really giving the sidewalk a good whack.  So I got to thinkin, as I always do.  Those sticks are designed so the blind person can feel their way around objects that are directly in front of them.  What if they made those sticks for people who were near sighted (people that cant see things which are far away.)  So the stick would just be extra extra long so they could "see" objects that are really far away. People could whack stuff half a block away. Could be pretty awesome.
I just thought this picture was funny considering the topic.

Spelling

I hate when this happens. I'm on the phone with a rep for a product and I have to ask her for her email address. She's all like "Ok, are you ready? It's A-A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R@suchandsuch.com" So I'm all trying to listen and write out this email address out while she's spelling it out. I finish and realize it's just a alexander. If your name is a basic word and not hard to spell, just say it. My email address is a-alexander @ whatever.com. Don't make me work twice as hard trying to listen to you. Just say the word. If my email address was spellitout.com I still wouldn't spell it out. Just an observation.

Walks

You hear about the Aids Walk, the Breast Cancer 3-day... How come you never hear about the Herpes Half Marathon... or the Gonorrhea Walk? Just sayin.
