So, wow. It's been a long time since last I wrote, and before I begin, let me just give you a quick laundry list of the freaky s#!^ that I've seen lately.
item, a lethal car accident involving a 13-year old boy.
item, my former company buy out it's largest competitor after denouncing another conglomeration for doing the same.
item, myself dominating the training program at work.
So, yes. Daisy and I were eyewitnesses to a lethal accident involving a prominent member of the St. Paul, MN community and her college roommate and the roommate's children. It was a horrible, terrible experience, and I'm just now able to close my eyes and not see it in technicolor. An event like that tends to realign your perception on life, and when I think about everything that happened that night to get us there... I can't help but think that there's a design to it all. Something wanted us to be there that night, and for whatever reason that was, I'm still discovering the purpose to it.
What else is going on lately? I bought groceries for the first time on Saturday. That was awesome. I bought olive oil. God knows why, but it's damn good with herbs and bread, so I bought some of those, too. I bought a metric ton of food, and spent just under $100 for it all. I'm telling you guys, if you haven't discovered the wonders of the Market Pantry brand.. you damn well should. It's super. Like The Lizzie McGuire television show.
In related news, I know that I've talked to some of you about the acquisition of some much-needed companionship in my new place. It gets lonely here most of the time, so I've decided that I need a cat. So, I'm getting one. Plans to adopt a cat fell through, so now I must go and buy one. Which is cool, I guess. I'm prolly going to head to the Humane Shelter and get one. Here's the one I have my eye on: His new name will be Ender.
I'm tearing it up at work. I resolved my first call today, and the customer was satisfied with the answer I gave him, so I rule. My mentor at work has taken to calling me Neo, and that's alright by me.
If you seek to be released from your prison... free your mind.

A--
regarding the dog: SF will be releasing next week some of the 64 dogs who were tortured and mistreated in Akron. they could use some love and affection...
also, the shelter is packed--mostly with young, neutered and housetrained dogs.

Biggy-
Note the part of the post where I said "His new name will be Ender."
Also, I think that all cats from the humane shelter come spayed or neutered, which is why they cost so much. (seriously, I'm looking at $85 for little Ender. If anyone wants to start a "buy Madjai a little friend" fund, I'd be all over it.)
lol.. you don't need to have read the book to see the pronoun at the beginning of the sentence, Big guy.
