You guys can go ahead and congratulate me, I passed my school bus driving test. I feel as good as someone who just won a free Coke from 7-Eleven. Any day now I’ll be receiving my new [commercial] Class B license and school bus certificate in the mail. Yup, I have been officially certified as someone who can safely transport young lives to and fro. The responsibility is practically crushing.
These past two weeks have been a little rough on me though.
First of all, it’s hot as fuck. Normally, I don’t mind the heat. I can function pretty well in it. But for some reason our apartment is now doubling as a sauna, and no matter how high we turn up the A/C it just doesn’t cut it. So that sucks and it also screws up my rest. I don’t know about you guys, but I take my sleepy time very seriously. I think all lazy people do.
More complaints and inane ramblings...
Not too long ago, I StumbledUpon the awesomeness of “What I Should Have Said”. The premise behind this site is simple. Users are encouraged to share a situation in which they neglected to come up with a witty or scathing retort, then take an opportunity to express what they should have said in the first place. A lot of the anecdotes are downright hilarious and well worth the read. If you have some free time, I recommend checking this place out.
Being a fan of Seinfeld, anything to do with second-chance-responses (SCR) makes me think of the episode where George was insulted by a co-worker for eating too many shrimp. Long after the incident occurred, George thinks of the retaliatory Jerk Store line and spends the remaining part of the show trying to use it.
“Hey George the ocean called, they’re running out of shrimp!
“Oh yeah? Well the Jerk Store called, they’re running out of YOU!”
More clever one-liners...
Hey everybody! Welcome to my new site. Go ahead, have a look around… I’m in no hurry.
…
You done?
Good! Took you long enough.
I’m kidding. :-p

I don’t how many of you know this, but I used to work for the TSA. I was stationed at Los Angeles International Airport and that is where I remained the entire 2 years I was employed by the agency.
I left this job last September and because of actions on both our parts (I take responsibility for my shit), it WAS NOT on good terms. The road has been rough since, but totally worth it.
TSA is easily the worst job I ever had. There are several things wrong with the agency itself along with upper management, lower-level management, and the “regular Joes” who actually do the dirty work. The problems, in my opinion, start at the top and get worse the lower you go.

I recently watched a two-hour special called: “The Real Superhumans and the Quest for the Future Fantastic“.
From the site:
‘No species has had the ability to direct its own evolutionary course – until now. Have we reached the point where new technologies have put the genetic engineering process into our own hands? The real-life superheroes in this special are harbingers of the type of advanced humans we could become in the not-so-distant future – by examining the unique gifts they possess today, what can we learn about what humanity will be like tomorrow? “The Real Superhumans and the Quest for the Future Fantastic” is about true superheroes, genetic engineering and the future of human evolution. See how the rules of evolution are on the brink of fundamental change, how it will happen, and – ultimately – how it provokes the question of what it means to be human.’
