“After the fourth of July, my mom gave me a new truck to play with but it wasn’t a red one like the box showed it was a black one so she got mad and took it back to Target and told the lady there that the box said it was supposed to be a red truck but it was a black truck and that if she wanted a black truck she would have bought a box with a black truck on it and the lady said something about writing saying truck colors may vary and my mom called the lady stupid and a security guard to my mom to leave because she was becoming unrulered and I didn’t know what that meant but it was OK in the end because I liked the red truck better because blue is my favorite color and red is second.”

ShareI’m going to have to come right out at the start of this post and throw out a disclaimer. This post probably won’t be funny and therefore seem out of place here. It quite possibly could offend you. There will probably be some bitter sarcasm though… sometimes that’s enough to make it entertaining. Anyway… here we go.
There are a lot of candidates for this award. Considering the recent shootings in Arizona, it’s a pretty easy task to find evidence of failure and incompetence all around. I’d considered briefly giving the award to Sarah Palin. She’s always in the running for the award, but frankly it felt like a cheap shot… like making fun of a kid with a disability. (Yeah, I know… re-read the disclaimer.) Certainly someone connected to the whole shooting fiasco deserves it though.

ShareSo, I know that I’m not finished with my last trip post/saga but I’m going to start a new one anyway. It might be confusing, but frankly I don’t think the plot is terribly complex, confusing, or important to any of the posts I write. They’re like an 80′s sitcom… you don’t really need to know what happened before or after to get a giggle going. Sometimes I will do a running joke… that’s just a bonus for the regulars. So anyway, here’s a new story.
Halloween is my favorite holiday. You get to dress up as something fun, scary, entertaining, moronic, or cartoony and pretend that there’s more to life than commuting and staring at computer screens all day. Due to a series of personal issues that I’m not going to anchor the blog with, Halloween 2010 was shaping up to be a real deuce of a holiday. Fortunately, it didn’t end up that way at all. At a time with questionable job security and corporate belt tightening, I somehow managed to get my company to send me to Las Vegas for the first week of November. And that meant flying out on Halloween.
Before you start trying to imagine what Halloween in Las Vegas is like, stop. You can’t. There aren’t many places in the world that I could imagine being better to be for Halloween than Las Vegas. It is insane. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
