Grey Fall Water Tree

Cold rain collects on a windshield distorting the view of a lonely tree shedding its leaves as the impending winter freeze approaches.

Neighborhood Palestinian Kids Create Their Own Mini Intifada

So I was walking up the stairs this evening when I noticed some kids at the end of our driveway. I looked more closely and realized they were throwing pieces of our broken driven into the street. The three kids were between the ages of about three and six years old. My mom and I went out to stop them. Of course my mom gets a bit too dramatic and says, "Stop, you can't do that!" Terrified for their lives, the kids run towards home, which is only two doors down. The little girl in pink can barely run as she waddles as fast as she can. They left behind a big wheel, which I was going to confiscate (but being a nice guy I didn't). It was like these Palestinian kids were having their own mini suburban intifida, venting their rage against the Israeli cul-de-sac. They get their kids started pretty young with rock hurling. It must be a genetic trait in Palestinians because these tiny tots hurled those rocks quite far all across the road. The IDF (my mom and I) came to clear the roadway and restore civil order. Crazy Palestinians!

When will it end?

It's April 2nd and it's snowing. I need to get out of Cleveland! Maybe I should go here or here or here or here. I guess I'll just have to settle for going here for this.

New Power Mac G5

I bought a Power Mac G5 about a month ago. I'm so glad that I'm finally getting away from using Windows PCs. The Mac is much quicker, more reliable, more fun to use, and allows me to be more productive with my time. Now I need a new camera and printer.

Last Day at Work

Today was my last day of work at Z Gallerie. I have been working there as a Seasonal Sales Associate since the store opened on October 27, 2004. The Z Gallerie is located in Crocker Park, which is a new "lifestyle mall" located in Westlake, Ohio. It was fun working there and I worked with a good group of people. I learned a great deal about retail sales, customer relations, store management, and visual merchandising. I even learned how to cashier. For the past week everyone was begging me to stay there, but I have to find a full time job with benefits. I got a nice card signed by everyone and one of the assistant managers even bought me sushi for dinner. I also got some cupcakes and a Blockbuster gift card. I will definitely miss their company, but I only live down the street, so I'll be back often to hang around.
