After making love, no one should ask the other, “What were you thinking?” No one, that is, who doesn’t want to hear about the past and its inhabitants, or the strange loneliness of the present filled, even as it may … Continue reading →

Posted by Eric: whinning [sic] IT Wizerd: You’ve become vacuous. IT Wizerd: Maybe this summer when school’s out you’ll be interesting again. last night I broke my cell phone tonight I’m going to fail my physics exam tomorrow i get … Continue reading →

Boss: “Sometimes it seems like you think this is the Benson I.T. Department.” Me: “And what makes you think that?” Him: “You come and go as if you’re the CEO…as if you own the place.” Me: *grins widely, looking down* … Continue reading →

Well, so much for that experiment. Over the past month I’ve found that, when I’m away from the computer and tuned out of the news cycle, I look upon this blog with disdain. It’s at those times that I want … Continue reading →

I needed a break…get off my back. I’ll be back on Monday, the 22nd.

They leaned back in their chairs at the café, neither fully present nor gone, his mind cut loose from his heart like a dinghy in cold, still water. And she felt the weight of caring had been lifted from her. … Continue reading →

Umm, yeeeaaah. So I went to a company outing on Friday night at Dave & Buster’s. Ate dinner, had drinks, held a treasure hunt, blah, blah, blah… Here’s the only part that really matters. After a few rounds of rum … Continue reading →

Going to the company outing at Dave & Buster’s today. Besides, I never post on the weekends anyway.

Doing my taxes…

When I go to sleep tonight, I’ll be updating my mental firmware with some new rules: – Stay off the street during street cleaning. Fine: $15 *sigh*…Been living here for over two years. Why can’t I remember? – Do not … Continue reading →

Yeah, I know, this site has gotten so stale that even the Google Bots have stopped coming. But from here on out, GeckoBlue will have daily posts. Unlike some people, I actually have a job and can’t (read: won’t) sit … Continue reading →

So, yeah. We were, umm, sharing cable with our downstairs neighbors, when all of the sudden all our televisions went black. Turns out those bastards collected our money each month, but never actually paid the bill. So there I was, … Continue reading →

Whatever. It’s just a game. After all the pulse-quickening, heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping living room quarterbacking, this is what you tell yourself to dull the pain and disappointment when your team (and by extension, your town) comes up short. I live in … Continue reading →

It was one year ago today that I wrote my very first post.

The West Chester Wizerds’ capped off a dominating season with a disappointing championship loss to the Orange County Wolverines. In the expansion Wizerds’ first season ever, the club tied for the league’s best regular record (11-3) and finished second overall … Continue reading →

So my roommate Tony decided to have a New Year’s Day party… We would’ve been able to fit even more beer in the fridge, if it weren’t for all the goddamn food in there. People need to start using things … Continue reading →

Well, that was a nice vacation. Hope you enjoyed yours, too. Posting will resume, along with a few back entries, once I get done with jury duty.

December 1, 2003. Funny, it doesn’t feel like the first day of the rest of my life, but it is. Years later, when looking back on the past, I’ll see that this is one of those days that separate the … Continue reading →

Yeah, happy Slaughter Of The Indians day. On a completely unrelated note, my choice of movies to watch: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Ringu, I Stand Alone, or… Nixon. Don’t ask me…that’s just the way Netflix works.

The West Chester Wizerds spanked the trash-talkin’ Colorado Condors in Week 12, completing the team’s quest to conquer all their enemies (see list at right) before the playoffs. The win gives the Wizerds the best record in the Fantasy Football … Continue reading →

Hmm, let’s see. $1,348 worth of repairs to the Taurus in two weeks. Dead battery, fried alternator, malfunctioning water pump, worn tensioner, broken engine mount…you name it. Oh yeah…and inspection is due next month. Looks like I might have to … Continue reading →

Hey Jon, I won, you pessimistic, unsupportive S.O.B.

Let me just set the stage here: I play in a Fantasy Football league with some coworkers. My team, the West Chester Wizerds, is 8-2. I consider trash talk an integral part of the game, but I’ve been careful to … Continue reading →

Well that was a vacation. I first sighed on the 10th. It is now the 21st. I think it’s time to get back to work.

I got bored and took these pictures of my room with my new camera a few weeks ago. They were on my hard drive gathering dust, and since I have this nifty thumbnail generator, I figured I’d share them. I … Continue reading →

An exchange I had with the elevator operator at work this morning… Him: Morning. Me: Hi. Him: How are you? Me: Fine. Him: You look so sad. Me: Huh? Him: You don’t look happy. Don’t worry man, it’ll be alright! … Continue reading →

I’m convinced it’s the isolation. That, or the torture of a slow news day is finally taking its toll. You see, I’ve been thinking about a few things after reading a post over at Divigate. Eric is actively searching for … Continue reading →

I’ve just realized that people are much less likely to care about one’s “business vacation” photos unless the individual himself appears in the pictures. Next time, I’ll either make sure my company is willing to operate these newfangled electric doodads, … Continue reading →

Here’s a bum we encountered in Times Square tonight: I’ve read that panhandlers make a lot of money off gullible pedestrians. I mean, look, this guy probably has a 2BR apartment in downtown Manhattan. But because of his originality and … Continue reading →

I’ll be away in New York all this week on business. I may update, but don’t bet on it. If anyone is familiar with NYC and can offer any traveler’s tips, be sure and contact me…

So yeah, we’re still without power in West Chester, PA. It’s been 20 hours since the lights first dimmed, interrupting my Kazaa downloads and Instant Messenger conversation-juggling. After a long, boring night (see pictures below), I got up and managed … Continue reading →

After many online ads and dozens of flyers posted around the university, we’ve welcomed Tony Yoo as our newest housemate. Above is a picture of Tony (right), who replaces the loser who previously boarded here. Throughout all our meetings (read: … Continue reading →

…at bowling tonight. I literally slid on my ass in the beginning. White Russians will do that to you, given enough time. And being a complete novice doesn’t help, either. My scores: 54 84 52 So? One thing I’ve learned … Continue reading →
