Surprise Packages

So last night I got home to see this massive box sitting in the middle of the living room.  As you can see from the picture, you could easily fit a babyseat in the box and have plenty of room left over.

Instantly, my mind raced with the awesome things that could have arrived in said treasure box.  Was it something for me for Christmas that Jen couldn't clean up in time? Could it be a Wii,

 XBOX, Castle Greyskull, Strawberry Shortcake's Summer Home? WHAT? 

Oh I was so excited when I casually asked, "what was in the box?" She just looked at me in disgust and pointed to something on the counter..."a book," she said.  I thought, "What the hell kind of book was shipped in that thing?" I looked at her and asked if she purchased an original print of the King James Bible cold off of the Gutenburg Press.

Nope The Empty Pot by Demi...Seriously? again, Seriously? We went online to fill out a return shipment form and it is suggested that we send it back in the original box.  Ok, lets look at this objectively...I am going to send a paperback book in a box that could hold a desktop PC.  

Here is what the book looked like compared to the box. It is a good thing they used 100 yards of that packing air bags...I would just hate to have that book move one millimeter in that 10 gallon container.

brains....brains....BRAINS!!!!

So I have neglecting my little blog...again. I can live with that, but neglecting the people who are commenting? That is just not Wright (a little shout-out to Julie Wright who frequents this page...or so I have heard.) It has been a crazy month. Lots of traveling and lots & lots of work. I am physically exhausted, but my mind is always racing a million miles a minute. Gotta be honest, I'm a little burned out, but Christmas is right around the corner which is awesome.

It just seems that lately, I have been walking through a fog. I am forgetting things a lot more and time just seems to be flying by. I can't believe that my kids are growing up so fast and that 2009 is a mere three weeks away.

I just need a day that I can take to detox and not think about anything. Maybe catch up on a little sleep...I think my wife said it best when she mentioned that in the mornings, I resemble the walking dead. Being the chronic insomniac that I am, I usually get a good 3.5 ~ 4 hours of sleep a night, and I seem to be able to function at a level that works...or i am really good at faking my alertness. But Jen might be onto something...

The Wagon is Coming

Well, the World Series is behind us, and I have to hand it to the Philadelphia Phillies.  Way to represent for the NL guys! Way to go.  

As a sports fan living in Utah, I have noticed a trend of sorts that always follows the end of any sports season. If any sports fan in Utah reads this, you might know exactly where I am going with this post.  

This is my prediction...no Guarantee.  Within the next week, you will see more Phillies gear around the town than you have ever seen before.  Where 2 ~ 5% will be legit fans, the rest are those whose closets are full of Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, New York Giants crap.  I have seen more Kevin Garnett jerseys lately...uggh it makes me mad.  I guarantee you could go up to these so-called Boston Celtics fans and ask them who wore #33 or #00 or #32 for the Celtics, and they wouldn't have a clue.  

So beware Salt Lake City, a storm is coming...in the form of the bandwagon.  Don't worry, this too shall pass...in a couple months when my Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl. LOL.

Oh My Gosh

So I went surfing the web tonight and thought it might be a good idea to see what the weather was going to be like in Vegas for the Blog World Expo. There was something on the front page slideshow that really caught my eye. There is a picture of Hurricane Ike's devastation....look closely. Seriously?!?!

A Quickie

So at work, I have been dealing with a lot of Web 2.0 stuff and how I can incorporate new social media strategies into potential and existing clients. I must say that it is fun at times, and at other times, I want to tear my hair out...well if I had hair to pull out. Fortunately, I work with some awesome people on all this. We have a lot of fun with this, and enjoy a good laugh about some of the most random things.



I guess I have become a geek/nerd lately when I find pleasure in hearing about a shirt that says, "Thats what she Twittered." Holy crap, I think that is hilarious. I even am excited about going to the Blog World Expo convention later this month in Las Vegas. I will be able to meet and learn from awesome people like Chris Brogan . Is it weird that I am amped for this?



Well, this is turning into more than a quickie, but I have spent the last 2 hours playing around on twitter, facebook, myspace, digg, technorati while looking at about 3 dozen blogs. Wait it is Friday night! NERD ALERT!



To make my point even more...I spent the last hour playing with this simple idea I had...wow.
