Remembering Yesterday

Ok, having a blog opens you up to some of the strangest emails. For example, I got an email yesterday saying the 'TOP 10 THINGS NOT TO DO TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BLOG'- Sadly, the number one thing listed was not 'opening this email'  It said, in this email, 'DO NOT WRITE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE -No one wants to hear about your personal life. Then it continued to go on about how people will not visit your site if you write about your daily activities.

So in defiance of the people who think you cannot have readers who enjoy your 'personal' blog - here is my blog on all things that happend yesterday. (ok, not all things)

(Insert epic style movie music for the opening)

I need to start this post telling you a story about what happened to me yesterday. (insert flash back music)

I was walking home from 7-11. I decided to attempt to walk behind an apartment building so I could cut across and get back faster. To my surprise, there was a huge dump truck/trash truck on the sidewalk creeping towards the street; the truck was a good 20-25 feet away from the road. So I started crossing the street in front of the truck (remember the truck is still on the sidewalk) and the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'get off the street!" -

WTF? I stopped and thought to myself, 'this has to be one of the most awesomeness moments of the day'. I mean, come on, when are you ever yelled out for being in the opposite role of what we are told to be in. (Don't answer that)  True, I was in the middle of the street and we all know that cars, trucks, vans and even trash trucks belong on the street. The root of the problem was not me standing in the street but being yelled at by a guy in a trash truck who was driving on THE SIDEWAY!  Has anarchy taken over this world!! 

So after a few seconds of that thought process I looked at the truck driver, smiled and yelled, "GET OFF THE SIDEWALK!'  Then we both went on our happy little ways both enlightened by this experience. (Well, maybe not)

Then after I got home from my 7-11 visit, I sat down in front of my computer planning to find the ultimate knowledge to become the smartest person in the world. (That is what the internet promises, sure all you find is porn and personal blogs like this one but one day, one day....) Anyway, I chat with Mylie sometimes through instant messenger while she is at work. We talk about the normal things; here is an example of a conversation that I copy/paste from yesterday.

 (Insert flashback fade)

No, wrong type of fade - anyway --- here is the conversation.

[17:42] mylie: i am goign to appear offline for IM so i can get stuff done
[17:42] mylie: but if you need me, i am still 'on'
[17:42] mylie: so just IM
[17:42] jason: i am going to appear in drag on CBS's 60 Minutes
[17:43] mylie: what?

(silence)

So that was my day yesterday and I hope I still have readers.  One thing is for sure - I have updated the Zombie Popcorn Photo Gallery
