Slacker Sunday

General mayhem, randomness and chaos:

The LeaderShape party was pretty fun... and interesting. I was dragged onto the dance floor by Lauren, and promptly assaulted by Dan. (Different Dan, not the one I've mentioned on here a few times before)

Slept a good 12 hours again.

I know I've always hated hypocrites, but not this much.

I just realized, I've been out of the whole computers/hardware/software/gaming/whatever else loop for a while now. The me of two years ago would be truly disappointed in the me of today. I should get back into it.

This country is officially going to hell in a handbasket. I always knew Scalia was right wing to the core, but not batshit crazy. That coupled with the fact that Bush has pretty much decided to ignore law at whim....

I really, really despise hypocrites.

My car owns.

No really, it's better than yours.

I hate closed minded morons almost as much as I hate hypocrites.

Channelling Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert here but, if you're a hypocrite, you're officially on notice. I will run you over.

Oasis

My new obsession. Oh yeah, and Dolce Vita is awesome, I should have gone there a long time ago considering it's right across the street.

And one of these days I'll make a substantial post.

The 1812 overture, quite simply, rocks.

Drove down to San Marcos to get my $500 deposit back. I think the GM there gave me the cold shoulder. Not like I care really. I was this close to filing a dispute.

Right now I'm just listening to some of my older trance music... reminds me of about 5 years ago.

Boo

1.40 am, it's storming, and my bathroom roof is leaking. Excellent way to end the spring break.

Honey, I'm home!

Miss me?

I actually got back from LeaderShape yesterday (and it was quite the experience, more on that later), but I drove to Dallas for the night to see Anish.

LeaderShape... I don't know where to start. Or rather, I don't know what to say. I'm having a really hard time quantifying the experience. Suffice to say though, that it wasn't what I expected.

I really don't know how to describe exactly what it was we did, because if I did it would trivialize it. What I can say is that it was definitely worth the time, and more. This wasn't a seminar on 'how to be a leader' or anything of the sort - which was kind of the impression I got when I first heard of it. It was an experience that brought out the best, and sometimes the worst in people. I learned so much about myself, people around me, and how what I do affects those people. And who would have thought anyone could possibly get so close to each other in the span of 6 days.

I learned things about myself I had no idea about before. I see myself differently. No, not differently, but more clearly. And I met a fellow U2 fan! (I know you're reading this Isabel, stop stalking me)

My only regret is that I'm not going to have the opportunity to do this again.

Who said anything about a speed limit?

Dan and I raced each other back from Olive Garden earlier today. Highly illegal, and fun nonetheless. I think I scared the guy entering I-35 when I cut across 4 lanes to get to the exit. And I KNOW I scared Emily who was riding with me. Cut people off at a left turn, did twice the speed limit through the neighbourhood while running stop signs.

Oh, and the Chicken Parmesan thing and Black Tie cake were both excellent.

No more posting for me for a week or so. I head off to LeaderShape tomorrow morning. Time to get my laundry and pack.

For lack of anything better to post....

When I went to bed this morning at 7 am (don't ask, a whole different story entirely), I just know I heard birds chirping outside.

Just an observation. I've lived in the desert too long.

Edit: While I'm at it....
