don't get to excited just yet

I'm back because there is a natural disaster on the way and this might be my farewell note.

Most Americans, even those located on the Gulf of Mexico, do not know that there is a weak hurricane/tropical storm in the Gulf. Well, someone who is aware is taking full action, NASA is on the scene. We are on Hurricane Lock Down. Talks of JSC closing down are being passed around like its hot. Bags are being gathered that are labeled "Hurricane Bags." A "Hurricane Bag" is for protecting all hardware located in your work area, computers, monitors, phones, chairs, garbage cans. Everyone is required to have one. Yes, even those people who are located on the second floor, in the middle of the building, with no windows. Cover your stuff! I plan on covering my entire work area with a pop up tent.

We played softball in the rain and lightening last night. I wasn't scared. My bat is made of composite materials and I don't have any metal plates in my head.

More updates on Tropical Storm Edouard: Some guy, who has the name of a male anatomy, is running around freaking out because he has to cover the TVs in the windowless room. I just looked at him.

If these useless trash bags…correction, "Hurricane Bags" do not perform perfectly, NASA as we know it, may never be the same. Please people, keep those fingers crossed as we go through this time of crisis. The United States, The World, The Universe, and The Olympics are depending on these bags.

Let it be known that I am extremely, probably the most I have ever been, excited about the Olympics starting this weekend.

How many of Carl Lewis' Olympic gold medals were won in long jump competitions?

Softball was rained out last night due to the rain. I'm seeing red. That came from thesaurus.com. Which means I'm mad.

Last night I saw Transformers for the first time. I expect to see it four more times. It made me a believer. Megan was my favorite character. Her accent was the greatest thing that has happened to me all year. She'll think the same about mine someday...Utility Al can't know I went to the movie, he'd probably crap a brick. Just two weeks ago I told him the movie was dumb and a waste of my money. So I took a girl from my softball team instead.

Just when I thought that today was a complete waste, Old Guy surprised me with barbershop quartet singing. First he proceeded to inform me of what it is and tell me that there are 35,000 members across the country. He is one. These elderly men compete for the number one international ranking. I want to hear the Swedish group that sings about Dixie. Then came the pinnacle of this one sided conversation, a listening example. I wanted my phone to ring.

Father Rob tells me the questions are way to easy, well that's all about to change. Father Rob will be a dad soon, I asked if I could name his kid. He said ok. This question is borrowed from Moosejaw. What is the best-selling multi-disk album of all time?

The girl complained about what I had said about her. She obviously wants me to say more.

Tonight is softball. I expect us to win at least 16-2. The team will more than likely hit for two cycles plus some. Anything less will be failure.

I've added a really cool poll to the blog. Hopefully now there will be more hits. A recent study shows that people are more likely to be in a good mood after they participate in similar poles. Just doing my part to make the internet a more family friendly environment.

Last night I played some Scrabble and lost because they told me outta is not a word. I think they made that up to make me look stupid. I'll never play with them again. Today I'm going to read the dictionary so I'll be able to beat them 435 to 3. I'm predicting this whole day will be pretty boring. I'll never get to use my education, except at Scrabble. I'm a working boy, not using my degree at all.

I'm getting a bit sick of the rain. Everytime I clean my car it just rains and results in me getting the floor mats dirty. I give up

Harry: What's with the briefcase?
Lloyd: It's a love memento.
Harry: Huh?
Lloyd: The most beautiful woman alive. Her name was Mary. I drove her to the airport. Sparks flew, emotions ran high, breasts heaved. She left this case in the terminal and flew to Aspen and out of my life. End of story.
Harry: What's in it?
Lloyd: DO you really expect me to go snooping around in someone else's private property?
Harry: Why not?
Lloyd: (Beat) It's locked.
