- Drive thru at Starbucks. Two quirky girls In front of me in a convertible they look like vegetarian feminist. I’m jusy sayin’… #
- Enjoying “Angel” by Natasha Bedingfield… I really like her, she’s class in a world filled with midriff’s and ass. #
- Shut the heck up! I just saw this man walking in shorts in prosthetics and I thought they were his legs at first. He moved so smoothly! #

A recent email conversation between myself and a coworker regarding this graphic design. 
Eddo, Can we make the NEI on the logo a bit bigger so it’s the first thing your eyes are drawn to when you look at the page? My response…
“No”
And then a followup email that said…
About the “No”
Insert music here and turn back time.
Imagine ladies, getting ready for prom, trying 20 different hairstyles, trying on dress after dress after dress. Then, you finally find the right hairdresslipstick combination and you feel like a million bucks. Your date arrives with the corsage and just when he is about to slip it on your arm he says, “Do you think you could make your hair a little bigger?” It’s like you can feel the click, click, click of the Wheel of Fortune wheel landing on BANKRUPT. The entire audience sighs.
He didn’t take the time to tell you how great the outfit looked or realize that you spent HOURS if not days of your life working on your “look”, he just made a suggestion on how to improve it not even realizing that you had already tried it BIGGER and it looked hideous.
Each one of my designs that people see has normally gone through 20 iterations before a final is sent out. I’ve tried at least 20 different fonts, various sizes, colors, shapes, images and all of those items must flow together, look appealing, fit the SharePoint design and make everyone happy.
Sooo… I’ll put the soapbox away for now, just remember that when you ask me to change my design it’s like asking me to make my babies brown eyes blue and I happen to love them brown. You don’t mess with the babies… baby.
- Just had lunch with Earma – it’s nice having so many quality friends. #
- OMW. Barely eluded ANOTHER homeless person asking me for a ride or money or something. I just quickly put the car in reverse and looked away #
- Heroes is on tonight – who else is watching? Well, all the cool kids are. #

Didn’t Thelma from Scooby Doo used to say Jenkees! Or was it Jeepers? Or both? Anywho, Jiminy Christmas this guy is good and you know who pointed him out ot me? BIG!. I swear that dude may as well be a co-writer of this site and he would be too if he didn’t send me these brilliant nuggets so randomly.
Speaking of BIG!, do you ever watch that show Rob and Big? I wonder if my friend BIG! and I had a show what we would call it since we are both big.
I don’t mean to pat myself on the back… okay, yes, I do… When BIG! and I are together we have great comedic chemistry. It’s literally non-stop laughs, but I have to admit, I’m always bring the funny, the doctor could be telling me I have EBOLA and I would still make a joke. BIG! only brings the funny when I am around, I know because I have been secretly having him followed and there is very little hilarity when I’m not around – just bad dancing.
BIG! and I are actually next to each other at the beginning of this… I am 2nd on the left and he is third. He has the Grill that you will see later.
- about to leave work… just filled out a word verification that pushed me past my limit, it’s the weekend, no need to challenge myself! #
