I am a cup of coffee, with room for half n half...

The friendster phenomenon...
I miss my friends on AIM...cuz of work, I read the corporate policy thing and it had a section dedicated to not being on "chat" sites. First thuoght in my head? "Damn, I'm not gonna last a month here!!!" But yesterday, during the pre-lunch hours, I finally found him. I had found the one...It almost brought a tear to my eye, and sounds of trumpets blared in my head truimphantly as I peeked over my shoulder whilst conversing with my manager. I had to take 3 glances, just to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me...yes, it was......AN AIM CHAT WINDOW!!!! Man oh man, SCORE! Well, now, I just have to lay low and bide my time, and prove that I am a worthy employee...worthy of such benefits as AIM. Now, I have more motivation, ha ha ha. But as I thought about finally getting the chance to electronically converse with my comrades from all regions, I thought about this whole friendster rage that's been sweeping up pretty much all of my friends, well, those with computers, or internet access that is...anyway, how it seems everyone's time and focus has been redirected to friendster. It's crazy, people adding people by the second, networks growing from hundreds to thousands in a matter of days...small world, I always say. But let's face it...hundreds upon hundreds of FRIENDS? More than likely, this is not really the case. In fact, there are those out there using this network system as a competition to see who can get more "friends." Sometimes, I think it gets absolutely ridiculous...I mean, I add all the people I've met before that have asked to be my friend because you just never know who's connected to who, and you might get in touch with lil Susie one day, way back when you were still in 1st grade, I dont' know, that sounds a lil far-fetched, but hey, a little possibility is still a possibility, period. I mentioned to some of my other friends it should be renamed "Aquaintancester.com," or "Ikindaknowyou.com." Either of those would be far more fitting. But I do think it is cool...I like to see who knows who, and who has the cute friends. Hey, I'm single...why not? Avenues are avenues...n'est pas? But trying to get back to my original point...AIM and even blogs seem to have been left in the dust of this current whirlwind...but it seems to me that the dust will soon settle. And those things which have withstood the test of time will truly still be standing when all is said and done. So people, let's get back to blogging...cuz I how else am I gonna find out about you? ha ha ha...call? Nah...

Tidbits
Lost our game tonight...coming from 22 points down to send it into overtime, only to lose by 6? or was it 8? Damn, I hated that...the competitor(and perhaps, sore sport? he he he) in me, can't believe that we were even down by that many to begin with. Such is the way of the ball I guess...it just bounces on and on...ARGH man...ARGH

I get to go on my first test drive today...WOOHOO! Jeep Grand Cherokee, I think, and I'm excited. It'll be an all day road-eval, so at least I get to be out of the office. So since I'll be on the road for a while, maybe I should get some rest...
