I remember?
I tend to forget: People, places, occasions and things. Time travel would remedy all of this. For instance I met a gentleman on the subway the other day who attended Hunter with me. He recognized me even though he said that I gained some weight since high school. I didn't say anything when he said that. Anyway, I could have gone back 8 or 9 years to figure out who in the world this dude was. I am sure I knew him at some point in time but I couldn't really make any useful connections. There was a slight glimmer of hope when he showed me his hunter ID but whatever was sparked faded rather quickly.
Times like this make me seriously question how I will manage as I get on in age. Am I a candidate for early onset Alzheimer's? Hopefully there is a cure for all of this sometime in the future. Too bad I haven't built a time machine as yet.
Paradox.
Sometimes you have to go backwards to leap forward. I have decided to go back to school again. This is my second try at it, my first was an attempt at Brooklyn College C.S. M.S. this summer. I am sure this go around will be much better as Computer Architechture is more my cup of tea.
Before long everyone will have to call me Master James.

Conan O'Brien
Yesterday was International Talk Like arrgh Pirate Day and thanks to LBO I was able to enjoy this special day as an audience member at the Conan O'Brien show. DJ, Pkilla, Lb0 and I were entertained by future Hollywood stars Joy Behar and Brad Garrett. Brad Garrett was actually funny and the show was filled with the usual low budget humor. The charm of toy cars being pulled along one of the NBC hallways by fishing line never gets old.
Some things about the show did surprise me though. The set is incredibly tiny; Max Weinberg actually sits on Conan's lap the entire show. Conan also looked a little like he was under the weather. He looked incredibly skinny and his face was sunken and a little more wrinkled than I thought it should be. The contrast between his face and the red hair is even greater in person; I think that's what actually makes him look washed out. I am sure the makeup didn't help.
I had tons of fun at the show but was definitely disappointed that there wasn't even one reference to I.T.L.P.D.
Nobody is Perfect.

Going Back
Happy I.T.L.P.D. !!!!
If I could go back in time that would make sense. I am sure the ridiculously long acronym doesn't help either. You see, it was International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th and I failed to do my due diligence that day even though I was alerted very early about this very special celebration. Redd and Jwow were on point with Pirate trivia and pickup lines. I could not even muster a simple posting. This would not be a problem for a well versed time traveler.
It's even less of a problem for a savvy poster who know how to edit "Post Options."
Arrrgh!!!

I wrote this blog, a long time ago a really long time ago!!!
I figure that today is as good as any for looking back. This is like one of your favorite shows doing a quasi-recap episode. You know the one with all the flashbacks and about 5 minutes of new scenes???
New material later, this now...
It might seem a little late but I think it's perfectly timed. Some may have been brimming with excitement with the whole new year but I can say I wasn't one of them. That little changeover in a day brings so many things with it, the first and perhaps worst of all is the dreaded "Resolution." I didn't make one and haven't for the last 5 years.
Yes, I am a rebel. I think it's unreasonable to think that in the midst of the emotional roller coaster known as December that anyone can truly do the proper soul searching required to resolve to do or not do something. Moreover, the resolve rarely last longer than 4 weeks. After the tryptophan wears off, resolutions also go by the wayside. At this point it becomes a burden and usually the annoying thing your friends remind you about.
I'm usually "that guy" but there is nothing worse than being bugged by "that guy" with an "I told you so." It's not that I mind being wrong. The bigger issue is that I already know that I was properly advised previously. (A little bit of topic)
Resolutions I really useless; the only one I have been able to keep is to stop making them.
