Oh emm gee

There comes a time in any man's life where he must attend training for the big V sales floor. It's not entirely unlike kindergarten, in that the bulk of your time is spent playing games designed to augment your self-worth and the self-worth of your classmates. Key differences include being paid buckets, and smoke breaks.

It occurs to me that I should try to talk about those interesting aspects of my life, the set of which includes all places I do not, generally, spend a mere 50% or so of my waking life. At any given non-Verizon time (abbv. !V), I can be found climbing, gaming, going to the gym, and/or abusing internet telephony to speak with my lovely other half over the pond for free or Damn Near It. Ironically, at present we are spending a great deal less (this cannot be overstated, I mean hundreds of dollars) to talk now that we are separated by continent than when she was within this country and merely far away.

I agonized over comma placement in that sentence for nearly 15 minutes. That may very well be a giant, snaggle-toothed, over-hyphenated, and bold-faced lie.

Relevantly, this morning we were asked to write a description of ourselves from a small quiver of nonsense ego-boosters (such as "professional"...HA), and then to translate that into a license plate which would be both creative and not so difficult the slow folks wouldn't be able to figure it out. I chose, and this is PURE, UNREFINED CREATIVITY: "Fun-Spirited One-Stop-Source." From this, I orginally crafted HYPHENS as an easy plate absolutely no one would fail to distinguish from my chosen intrinsics. After more thought, I went with ALL4ONE, as this may or may not share a name with an R&B band I once helped karaoke with a hilarious bunch of swishy fruits named Mike. I swear (HA) I am not making this up.

Seiler! I didn't follow that at all, you are a rambler. Calm it.

It makes PERFECT sense. I can not help but feel that perhaps your feminine logic has become a hinderance here. ::ducks::

I feel like ANY form of logic would be a hinderance here...

Spoken like woman-creature for certain.

I'm pretty sure it's one of those "chick things" cuz i understood every word of this post. It's like not putting the toilet seat down, or not bleeding from the groin.

(note: I would like to say that this is not an invitation to make me bleed from the groin, I am simply stating a fact. that being, I do not currently, nor ever plan on hemmoraging from my genital region and probably has something to do with the reading comprehension relating to the above post by Mike.)

don't agree with Mike just to start an argument about groin-bleeding, its not worth it to sink to that level.

Your right, I wouldn't want to sink to the level of a bleeding groin either. It must look horrible.

wouldn't wanto sink to the level of correct grammar either!
