Some conversations really make my mind hurt. This is an example of a recent conversation. The names and topic have been changed to protect the... yeah.
Taurus: "I hate people that wear blue hats. I hate them."
Me: "Would you ever wear a blue hat?"
Taurus: "No. Absolutely not. I hate blue hats."
Me:"Really?"
Taurus: "I would NOT wear a blue hat. Period."
Me: "I have a picture of you wearing a blue hat." (pause) "Look."
Taurus: "That hat is not blue."
Me: "WHAT?!? Look at the picture - it is a blue hat on YOUR head."
Taurus: "No it isn't."
Me: "Then, what color do you call the powder BLUE hat you were wearing in this photo?"
...
Taurus: "That is completely different."
Me: "How is that different?"
Taurus: "I think you're missing the point. I would NOT wear a blue hat - ever."
Me: "..."
Taurus: "I hate people that do wear blue hats."
At this point, I walked away.
Blogs are hella-common these days. Between
myspace.com and
livejournal.com millions of folks share every detail of their lives. This site isn't much more than a glorified blog at this point.
Eventually, folks will get tired of typing... and blogs will be replaced. What will replace these lifeless blogs? Video journals - vlogs(?). Remember, you heard it hear first! With that in mind -

You want to know what really grinds my gears? People who talk trash despite pure ignorance. Last week, I was talking to a coworker. She heard I was a Cleveland Browns fan. She proceeded to tell me how bad the Browns suck. Ok, fair enough the Browns have been crappy for several years now. The rest of the conversation goes like this...
Me: "Yeah, the Browns have been bad for a while. Who is your favorite team?"
Dumb Broad: "I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan."
Me: "Really? Why?"
Dumb Broad: "The Steelers are awesome."
Me: "Hmm. Who is your favorite player?"
Dumb Broad: ... (silence)
Me: "You don't know anything about the Steelers do you?"
Dumb Broad: "WHAT?!? Oh my gawd. Yes, I do. They are awesome."
Me: "Ok. Name 5 players."
Dumb Broad: "Ummm... the one car guy... oh... what's his name... umm... Bettre."
Me: "You mean 'the bus'? His last name is Bettis."
Dumb Broad: "Yeah! Bettis... Roengardner... and..."
Me: " Who is Roengardner?"
Dumb Broad: "The guy... you know..."
Me: "Roethlisberger?"
Dumb Broad: "... and Cowher..."
Me: "I asked you to name players. He is the coach. But, whatever, that is fine."
Dumb Broad: "See, I love the Steelers. In your face!"
Me: "I asked you to name five. You have named three. Even that was shaky. What is their record?"
Dumb Broad: "Uhh... I don't know. I don't care, they are in the playoffs."
Me: "What was the score of their last game?"
Dumb Broad: "I don't know. But, they won! Go Steelers!"
Me: "Ok. Way to go Super Fan."
Listen people, if you are going to talk smack about something, at least have a LITTLE bit of knowledge to back it up. Dumb Broads like this really grind my gears.
I have some good news to share - Mrs. Omega is pregnant with twins. We are both very excited. She is due in late August. Now back to your regularly scheduled non-sense...
January is usually a slow month for updates. The holiday hangover is in full effect. Not much to say...
Bruce (who is a colorblind referee) has deactivated from the realm of indy events. Bruce has been a part of some CRAZY indy trips. He - works a "real" job in Ohio and then spends his weekends driving to Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and all over Ohio. I am sure he has racked up 50,000 miles in indy events over the past couple of years.
Bruce - enjoy that strange thing called "free time". You earned it.
