Adminisilliness


I hate paperwork.
Even virtual paperwork.
But every so often, it has to be done.
So here it is:

I’m Looking to enjoy the hell out of myself before real life finally catches up with me…

So far, I’ve managed to ski, surf, skydive, hanglide, kayak, scuba dive and see alot of great live music.

Since I’m married to the most wonderful girl in the world, and I have a decent job, I’m guessing I’m ahead for the moment…

One day I might manage to decide what I want to be if I grow up.
But mostly, I just can’t see the point in growing up…

This blog is maintained/arranged/updated by El Guapo (the handsome one).
(As I keep telling myself).
He can be contacted at dbuzzb@gmail.com

Posts are made irregularly. Mostly because I want to say something worth saying (at least to me), as opposed to just adding to the general cacophony. My Reader(s?) deserve better.

Pictures are added as needed to express a point, clarify a point, or to amuse the author (again, me).

Today’s Music may be what I’m listening to at that moment, or something I feel is appropriate to the post, or an act I want to highlight. Check them out, you might like them. And any musical suggestions are always welcome.

Comments are allowed instantly, but are checked regularly, as I find myself not wanting to do my job when I am there, so I poke around online instead.
With that in mind, please be respectful. You can be as passionate as you like in expressing your point of view, but please don’t descend to immature name calling.
Or I will summon the Flaming Balls of Zoltan upon thine comments. Sadly for the justice system, I am the court of last resort around here.

I do read all comments, and do my best to respond to/answer questions raised in them. If you’re shy and want to ask me something, feel free to email.

My philosophy is that we should all enjoy the bejeezus out of ourselves up to the point where we infringe upon the ability of others to enjoy themselves.

I enjoy sour and half-sour dill pickles, but not the “bread and butter” ones.

I think that covers it.

Let me know if I left something out.

*This will probably be updated as soon as I remember what I forgot.

    I think you’ve pretty well covered it here. All the important stuff, at least. This is a great idea for a blog page. Once again, you’re making me look bad by comparison.

      Thanks Brian. It’s only by very carefully filtering my brain as it sends taps to my keyboard that I manage to hide the totalitude of my ass-hattery.
      Doesn’t stop me from making up words though…

      Maybe I will post it as a regular page…

    Well, it appears your ass hat filter works pretty well (most of the time).

    As you can see from much of what I write, impulses go unchecked from my brain to the interwebs (via fingers, keyboard, my MacBook, etc.)

          Still just the wind by us.
          High tide starts to roll back in an hour. Lower manhattan is under water – rivers are pouring into the tunnels and subway system. It will probably take a few days for the city to get its legs back under it. Wednesday will probably be a limited commute day for most, thurs or fri should be normal.
          It’s actually quieted here a bit in the last half hour I think, but not over yet…

    Hi Guapo,
    Would you be willing to participate in something we are doing for Susie Lindau on Friday morning? I am contacting as many of her followers as possible. My thought is that we all post on our own blogs on Friday with the same title, “Susie Strong”. The content would say something simple like, We are thinking of you. I haven’t known Susie for long but this blogging world is such a family. I thought it would be nice for her to see this message from as many of us as possible. Her husband is going to be updating us after her surgery. He can tell her or she can see it once she is up to it. Are you in? Thanks, Maria aka brickhousechick

    Not many people out here (Pacific Northwest) seem to make the distinction between sour and half-sour pickles. But I love ’em both, too! So far it seems like Vlasic for sour and Claussen for half-sour have been good choices, but can you recommend any others to me? Possibly ones I might be able to find around here?

    Dear Guapola, pleased to meet you. We seem to have friends much in common, so I thought I would stop by. I’m sure you hear this all the time, but I was hooked by that photo of the Greatest American Hero. I loved that show, probably because I also have problems with instruction manuals.

      The title El Guapo was bestowed on me by the Barber of Seville.
      Not a barber of Seville mind you, but THE Barber of Seville. Horace, as we call him.

      It’s also possible I just misunderstood him. There was a lot of paella and Hierbas Ibicencas that night…

      And nice to meet you!

    Long time no blog, El Guapo. You’re worse than me! No, hang on, you’re better, because instead of posting when you get a spare moment, you go look at other people’s blogs. Hope 2015 is treating you well!

    As you commented on someone else’s blog, absurd is underrated. Hold that thought, because the world keeps tossing absurd at us. By the bucketful.
