Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:09:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en To the driver of the late model Honda Accord from Maryland who nearly ran over myself and another pedestrian crossing at 14th and Kenyon Sts NW around 6:15am this morning, and then proceeded to curse at us through your rolled up window... We had the right of way, not you.  Dipshit.  ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/10/01/rant/ How in the world can there be a statute of limitations on rape?! That's not right. Rape, for me, is right up there with murder. I can't believe any US State would even allow such a law. http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/27/how/ Why, oh why, can I never find the refill heads for my Crest Spin Brush? Three times now... yes, three... I've forked over another $8.99 for a whole new tooth brush simply because I cannot find the refill bristle thingies. You'd think the places that sell the whole toothbrush would also stock ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/26/elusive-toothbrush-heads/ Smokers are irresponsible. Harsh words, but sadly, there is at least 95% accuracy to the statement.  They can be some of the kindest people in every other aspect of their lives, but the lack of responsibility comes when they carelessly toss the butt of their cigarette, still lit, into grass, mulch, ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/25/smokers/ I know almost every city and town has them, but I've noticed a lot of those all-in-one carry out places in DC. Mostly in the "not so great" parts of town, like where I live. There's just something inordinately wrong/disgusting to me about a place that makes Chinese food, seafood, ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/24/all-in-one-restaurants/ Since I walk almost everywhere, I observe quite a lot in this city. Some things are amusing, some things are annoying and others yet are infuriating. I figure I can make at least semi-regular posts sharing these things I notice. Here is my commentary from this past week, most ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/20/dc-observations/ I'm addicted to OKCupid. It's a dating site. One of the few remaining quality sites that are actually free. Really, though, I only use the site for its entertaining, insightful quizzes. I know, I know, that sounds almost the same as a guy saying, "I only buy Playboy for the ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/13/addicted/ I picked up a few groceries for the weekend on my walk home from work yesterday.  While standing in a line to check out, my gaze wandered around as it usually does... assessing my surroundings, people watching, etc.  I happened to glance up at the aisle number I was standing ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/13/family-friendly-aisle/ I'm learning a great deal being an Operations Manager of an entire building. Some of it isn't so positive. Like realizing 99% of vendors are just out for the buck and don't really care about the level of service they provide you. Case in point: Our building needs a compressor ... http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/11/out-for-the-buck/ The people you want, don't want you... and the people you don't want, want you. Age old saying, right? Well, that's the kind of irony I can do without, thank you very much. :bored: http://sagesoul.net/2008/09/10/irony-i-can-do-without/
