My Wasted Life - February 4th, 2006:

I was driving down the freeway the other day… suddenly – seemingly out of nowhere – a doll’s head rolled across the road in front of me. It wasn’t anything to interrupt the driving experience… but it was a momentarily interesting visual.

So that’s how we start off the year 2006 here at mywastedlife is it ? well, what can you do?
Truth be told - the more likely to affect the driving experience was the installation of Sirius satellite radio in me car. It’s been a while… and I’d wanted to get it sorted in time to join Howard and the revolution from day one… but a month late isn’t too shabby. We’re in now – that’s what counts.
I’ll have to tell you what it’s like – cos under his new contract… Howard doesn’t work Fridays… so I didn’t actually get to listen to him yesterday.

and so it goes on...

What else has 2006 brought with it? Hmmmm… early days in many ways but you also got to remember that time waits for no man… so stuff must be happening.

There’s the first stirrings of a new layout and design around here – which might take a while to implement but which will, hopefully, make all of this a lot shiny and brighter and more interesting to the general viewing public.
Did a similar thing with the online store. I dropped by recently to see who was buying me t-shirts and books (thanks to those of you who have, who will and…. Ummm… who will again)
Anyway, I looked at what was probably the most boring page in the history of the interweb… which is not how we wish to be perceived around here… no sirrreee… not one little bit do we…
The solution was rather simple and a bit of a cheat. I looked at some of the other stores being hosted by the good people at cafepress and took me inspiration from there. Well, that and using the handy template wizard that cafepress provides.
So, I gots to come up with a new wild and wacky way to layout this shit - but I guess the most important thing to remember is that content is king. Yep… true today as it’s always been (how many more popular phrases and/or sayings can we utilise) but the bottom line is… unless there’s something interesting on here for people to read then the layout is almost inconsequential.
Which means I better write something awe inspiring… but all of this waffle so far is boring the pants off me… and I can also smell me dinner burning in the kitchen… so I’m gonna go devour that and hopefully inspire myself to write something a little more interesting on my return.

Hmmmmmmmmmm….. interesting notion… apparently if you don’t burn the shit out of your food it tastes different. Exactly the same food – not as always but it’s not like I’m drowning in adventurous genes - but same food… tastes totally different when it’s kinda properly cooked as tonight against burnt to shit like I normally do – it’s like a completely different meal.
Speaking of same but different…

shaving…

bane of my existence… my wasted life is a continual battle between the two things I hate the most… shaving and growing a beard. Well the latest razor to hit the streets has… well, you know… hit the streets… or is about to. It’s got like five hundred blades or something.
See, long gone are the days when you slipped one razor blade into a handle and scraped it across your face… we had the two blade razor… then someone thought it would be a good idea to have a third blade… then we got the totally audacious left of center idea of adding another blade to give us four blade in a handle…

Of course… why did no one go down the beloved Spinal Tap route and actually make one blade – sharper?
