All I have to say is ...

... that I have nothing to say.

Okay, that isn't entirely true.

My mom emailed me with some very bad news yesterday: One of my cousins was in a car accident and her 3 y/o girl was killed as a result of the accident. I can't imagine the pain she's going through right now.

The new job is going pretty well so far. Some days are a bit slow, but I'm told that it isn't unusual, especially since I'm new and don't have any regular clients assigned to me yet. I have taken on 3 new clients for the company since I started, which feels good. One of them turned out to be the mayor of Tustin, CA. He and his wife are very nice people.

Let's see ... hmm ... while driving to a client's office I witnessed traffic come to a complete halt and people rushing out of their cars to come to the aid of a mother duck and her ducklings trying to cross the busy multi-lane road. I couldn't help but smile while I watched a mixed group of soccer moms and businessmen give them an escort.

This entry doesn't know what else to say.

Blathering Idiot ... savant?

Can one truly believe the world as it has been presented to them by their parents or the media? What about your own two eyes? How difficult is it to earnestly look at things on your own and come to your own conclusions? Why is the world so caught up with celebrity and scandal? Isn't their own existence enough? If it isn't, why don't they do something about it?

Get up. Get out. Seek the truth yourself. Don't bother spouting off at the mouth about what you've read and heard second-hand. Everybody lies. Find the answer for yourself.

This entry cares not for titles and accolades.; Put up, or shut up.

Last Day at Work

Friday was my last day at Orange County United Way. In lieu of a mushy goodbye email, I decided to send out something a little more my style. Here's what I sent to staff:
Well as it turns out, the Simian Protection Society caught on to our recent monkey problems and have decided to press charges against us for the attempted starvation of an Internet monkey. Seeing how it was my idea in the first place, I took full responsibility. They decided that this was fair and I will now serve as their scapegoat to further their anti-broccoli (with cheese sauce) propaganda. Of course this means that I can no longer remain here with you without putting you all in risk of great peril. I do this for the benefit of all those at OCUW and their respective family and pets.

Cry not for me and continue carrying the flag of honor high in my stead! For you all are the chosen ones. The elite masters of the nonprofit world. Higher you shall climb until you all reach a level of greatness usually reserved for biblical figures and polka music. Remember the wise words of the great amnesiac as he said, "I did what?" and toss back a couple pints of your finest ale!

This is not a "goodbye" ... it is merely a "what were you drinking?" combined with a little "go get 'em and break-dance".
I have to say, that's pretty odd, even for me.

This entry is too strange for words.
