Acceptance

I just received word from the University of Washington that I was accepted into their MBA program. Obviously, I'm very excited about this. The program at UW is extremely difficult to get into so they must have switched up my application with someone else's. But regardless, I'm in. Now I just have to make the decision to go or not. Getting an MBA has always been a personal and professional goal of mine, but taking two years off from working is a big decision. Especially when I have a fiance' who enjoys spending money. Kind of sucks. I want to be excited and just do it, but there's also a part of me that tells me to just go back to work. I keep telling myself that it's a small short-term sacrifice for long-term gains, but its a tough decision to make.

Feel free to vote and let me know. In true democratic fashion I will let the people decide.

Things You Do That Are Never Cool

I was walking to catch the bus to go downtown today when something happened that opened my eyes. It happened as I saw my bus go through the intersection two blocks ahead of me as it pulled up to the bus stop. Upon seeing this I started running in order to try to catch it. As I found myself running awkwardly down Mercer St with my flip-flops about to fly off, my Messenger Bag flapping on my back, and my coffee spilling all over, I realized something. Boy, do I not look cool right now. And so after my 200-Yard dash to catch the bus, I came to a fascinating conclusion as I sat on the bus sweating profusely. There are just some things in life that, no matter who you are or what you look like, are impossible to look cool doing. Here's some that came to mind. Feel free to add.

1) Running to catch a bus
2) Pooping
3) Masturbating (Applies to Males Only)
4) Karaokeing
5) Playing XBOX360 with the headset and mic on
6) Roller-Blading
7) Driving any "GEO" car
8) Clamming
9) Metal-Detecting (Is this the proper verb?)
10) Buying Preparation-H at the grocery store

Words of Juvenile Humor

I was sitting at the gym today reading the WSJ when I read an article titled, "Oil Lubricates Asia-Mideast Ties" when I found myself laughing at loud at the word "Lubricates". In addition to realizing that I am a 12 year-old in the body of a 29 year-old, I also came to the conclusion that there's a subset of words that make me laugh anytime I hear them, no matter what context they are used in. I've listed the ones that came to mind, along with examples of non-inaapropriate usage. Please feel free to add any.

Lubricate - "Oil Lubricates Asia-Mideast Ties."
Nuts - "These nuts are very salty."
Penetrate - "This product has the ability to really penetrate the market."
Balls - "Those balls almost hit her in the face."
Gas - "The smell was attributed to a gas leak."
Beaver - "The beaver is extremely adept at taking down wood."
Dick - "Hello, my name is Dick."
Discharge - "The combination of those two chemicals produces a noxious discharge."
Uranus - "Uranus is a gaseous planet."
Skid Mark - "The accident left a notable skid mark on the street."
