Take a Moment

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

I hope everyone who visits A Moment with Will enjoyed the latest video. I had a lot of fun creating it. I love doing the spontaneous videos like the last two that I’ve posted. I get inspired and sometimes the result is good and sometimes bad. I know everyone has paid money for a movie they expected to be great but turned out to be terrible. Usually that pertains to a sequel of any successful movie. Production companies try to capture the effectiveness of the first film and sometimes that does not happen. My point here is that I’m sure I will receive disapproving reviews at some point.

I do have another interview today and I’m confident. Although, I have no idea what the job is all about. I applied for the job back in January and did not hear a response until a week ago. I’m just going to wing it. I’m going to ask questions that may reveal more about the job without giving the idea that I have no idea what Technical Imaging Project Coordinator means.Onto new business, it is the start of a new softball season for the ladies of Holy Family Club and I wish them all the luck. They just need to keep their heads up in defeat and not get too cocky with a win. I give it my best to see as may games as possible. I have fun cheering on the ladies. Good times. Their website is www.leaguelineup.com/hfc. Check them out.

That’s all got for now.

The Shawn Report Sucks

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Where is Shawn? I read The Shawn Report just as much as everyone else and lately he is slacking. I can understand if he has better things to do but I know he will read this and get pissed off. I’m writing this stuff to get Shawn all flustered.Anyways, Star Wars was awesome and I highly recommend it to those of you reading who like Star Wars. I know the first two episodes were a little disappointing but Revenge of the Sith is worth seeing.

Recently, I noticed one comment left for one of my last few blogs and someone commented about INEXCUSABLE ABANDONMENT.Here is the entire comment“After nearly six months of never missing a Wednesday at the Ho, getting out our table, spreading the word, and holding it down after INEXCUSABLE ABANDONMENT - I’m requesting official induction as a regular, dammit.”

Let me comment on that remark. For those of you who read and don’t know the significance of the Regulars, I’m going to explain. Shawn and I started going out on Wednesday Nights. We would always go to the Tally-Ho for Karaoke. We became The Regulars because we would go week after week until we knew everyone in the bar.

Shawn and I have not gone in about month. One reason is that it was getting boring and our money situation was not good after returning from Arizona for a week. We did not abandon anyone. We had other things to do and we did them. I’m glad that when the time comes we can pass the torch to other deserving Regulars but until then we will be the cornerstone of the Tally-Ho on Wednesdays as always.By the way, for those of you interested a blog is also known as a weblog. The term comes from weblog.

Until next time, I gotta JO.

I’m Gay for Star Wars

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

I’m so excited to see Stars Wars. The 28 year saga is finally coming full circle. Darth Vader and shit. I hope Yoda will bust a cap in someone’s ass. I will be seeing Episode III tonight and I’m hyped up. I could sword fight Anakin with my Star Wars sized boner. Stay tuned for my review of the film.

Anyways, the return of the Regulars was good times, last night. I had a lot of fun and we’ve continued to keep the good times rollin’. The theme of the night should be “Revenge of the Regulars” in honor of Star Wars. Shawn and I ripped it up with some “Space Oddity”. The popularity of the Regulars had grown somewhat over the last few years. Scotty, who runs the Karaoke, posted a sign outside the Tally-Ho saying “Karaoke Wednesday Night with Scotty and The Regulars”. That is good shit, man. I have to thank Scotty for that one. Hope to see you all next Wednesday.

I hope everyone enjoyed my latest video. I put a lot into it and had fun doing it. There will be more videos so don’t be worried. I think I’m going to mix it up a little bit for next time. I need some cooperation. Please use the comment section of this post. This is what I’m thinking. Tell me the most annoying thing someone in your life does. For example, I hate when people say “Go Ahead and…” I will take some of the annoying things and I will dramatize them but with a twist. I’m sure everyone knows someone who does something annoying.

Please Note: The annoying things do not have to be sayings. It could be a mannerism. For example, people who constantly snap their gum. I hate that.

Also, the title of my blog is now called “A Moment with Will” not “A Moment in Will”. I decided to make the change for obvious reasons. I originally wanted the title to sound similar to “A Moment in Time”.

Until next time, don’t pick up any wooden nickels.

Go ahead and…

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Today was starting off to very boring. Let me give some back story before I begin. I organized training for staff members where I work and we had to hire an instructor for some of the classes we planned to offer. Today, I attended a Microsoft Access training class and the instructor seemed to be the typical computer nerd. Not to say that I’m not a computer nerd at heart but I don’t think I have the nerd image. Well at least I don’t think I do.

Anyways, I started to count how many times he said “Go ahead and…” As far as I’m concerned that is the most annoying way to start a sentence. He kept saying things like “go ahead and click that button”. That is so damn annoying. He should just say “click the button.” People who use that expression most think they seem smarter by utterly those three extra words before any sentence. When I’m considering instructor for the next round of training, I’m going to go ahead and not consider his annoying ass.He is probably going to find this post and not bring muffins for training classes anymore.

I know I’m a difficult person sometimes and believe me I can understand why someone would think that. I’m not the type of person who waits long to make a decision because I like to have a plan so I like to ask close-ended questions. When confronted with a question I give an appropriate close-ended answer like yes or no. I may come off as pushy when I do not receive the answer that I’m expecting. For example, I ask someone if they are going to someone’s house for a get together. I receive the answer of “I haven’t even thought about it yet.” That answer of course pisses me off and it really shouldn’t.

I just get the feeling that person is blowing me off and doesn’t have the balls to just say that he is not going because he is going somewhere else. That person might even call at the last minute and say they can go after they couldn’t find anything better to do. That always fucks up the plan. Again notice the word, “plan.” I’m not blaming anyone but just say yes or no. If I don’t know the answer, I simply say I don’t know and that I will get back to the person. It’s simple. Believe me I’m not trying be an asshole about that kind of thing but I will come off like an asshole when something this may happen.Next order of business, it really pisses me off that I’m not invited to the unnamed person’s Pig Roast/Wedding. The guy read in my wedding for Christ sakes. How can someone not even consider that in the equation? I’m sure the lame old answer to this question will be that we don’t talk anymore.

People who weren’t invited to the wedding are still going to play golf on Saturday and my name probably wasn’t even mentioned. I don’t play golf but it would have been nice to hear an invite. I’m a sensitive guy when it comes to friends. I don’t have many as it is and I’m sure the above paragraph is probably why. I feed that guy and his wife to be on my wedding day and he should at least return that favor. What an asshole! Everyone who is going is so excited about going but I wouldn’t be so excited about it considering that only a few in that group of friends are invited. I’m surprised people are going after he hasn’t talked to anyone in like a year. We have made the effort to talk and he doesn’t in return.

Maybe we all have grown but get it together, terrible friend. I’m just tried of thinking about it and I hope it is quite a celebration.Here is the weather report for the outdoor wedding on Saturday, May 14th. It’s a damn shame, too.

May 14th Scattered Showers 73 Degrees High/54 Degrees LowI’m sure the bride will be beautiful and probably wet.

I can understand if no one will want to call me after this post.
