Ramblings of Silver Blue

Blogathon 2005 will be taking place Saturday, August 6, starting at 9 am Eastern time for 24 hours. This is an annual event where bloggers like myself raise funds for a charity of their choice. We’ll be posting an entry in our blogs at least once every half hour and if we make it the [...]

Well, if all these ideas running through my head were voices, I’d be considered a menace to myself. But since they’re just ideas and I can put them away and come back to them later, I’m sure I’d be found competent in a court of law. Plus one on my side! Don’t Make Promises You [...]

Still haven’t heard anything from Human Resources, and let’s face it, they’ve been dragging their feet for over a year, so I’m not expecting any wonder response. Still, some response would be better than none, so…(pulling out the “Evilene” costume from The Wiz) — nobody better bring me no bad news. How am I handling [...]

…for what it’s worth. This blog only looks correct in IE. I’d fix the template (blue-bye-you) if I knew how so it looks right in FireFox and Opera and Netscape, but I just don’t have the time or skills. I have the original Zip file from Alex King’s archives if anyone is ambitious enough to [...]

….more negativity. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past week is that negativity runs rampant in the world. I’m a class A pessimist (believe it or not), so I’m guilty of it as well. But it’s time for humankind to realize now, more than ever, we need to start turning TO each other [...]

The bull crap called the “Kecoughtan Corridor” is just that, bull crap. PEOPLE STAND TO LOSE THEIR HOUSES, THEIR LAND, EVERYTHING. Yes, they’ll be “compensated,” but if you look at the way the city is beginning to “devaluate” the property, it’s so they can condemn and not have to pay appropriate compensation. Are you Concerned [...]

I’ve promised this for a while: (RealAudio) You might hear some of this if you were hanging around me. From Europe Move In My Direction – Bananarama Made Of Glass (Extended) – Kylie Minogue Start The Fire – Alcazar Walking The Night – Bodies Without Organs Never Never Never – Bosson September All Over – [...]

False Evidence Appearing Real (take the first letter of each word). Today, much to the surprise of many people, the church had a congregational meeting to select a Pastor Search Committee (due to our current Pastor’s decision to resign so he can further his education), and it didn’t disintegrate into World War III. For all [...]

…but it’s not good news. Successful flea market at church today (Thanks, God, for holding off the rain). Just got a call they’re taking PR’s mom to the emergency room — she fell again and her knee is swollen. So… Off to Elizabeth City. More news later….

Well, they lure you in with a decent product, and then things go awry. I’ve noticed that not only on my own blog, but on others, that the “flash badge” no longer works (or at best, works intermittently). You get what you pay for, I guess.

Who says “W” ain’t frontin? (Thanks to Mz. Peg for sending it on)

…no time to blog about it. Don’t you hate it when that happens? Actually, with planning, research, etc. for the new project (the Dining Reviews blog), that’s occupied my mind for quite a bit. I’ve got a number of restaurants I’d like to write reviews on, if I can find my notes. P.F. Chang’s, California [...]

Dining Reviews is now up and live. Tink, PoloRandy, Roxette Bunny™, I and some of our friends will be checking out various restaurants in the Hampton Roads area, as well as wherever our travels make take us. Drop by … and if you have any suggestions as to where to eat, let us know!

There was an article in a recent edition of the Virginian-Pilot that said customers should always tip their servers in the 15-20% range because “that is their livelihood.” Yes, the majority of a server’s pay comes from tips. Schools have turned out a generation of “you owe me something just for showing up for work” [...]

A Restaurant Review: Kin’s Buffet, Granby Street, Norfolk, VA It’s a Chinese Buffet, what’s not to like right? Normally, I’d agree with you, but unless things change, and in a hurry, the empty parking lot at Kin’s isn’t going to change. After all, there are many different Chinese buffets in Norfolk. It’s not that the [...]

and not from Hormel. In the past 24 hours, trackback spammers and comment spammers have been attempting the attack the blog. Thanks to the great work of Spam Karma, however, I have not have to deal with one of them. How many you ask? Over 500. If it weren’t considered cyber-terrorism, I would wish that [...]

-You lose arguments with inanimate objects. -Your job is interfering with your drinking. -Youre doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream. -Career won’t progress beyond the court. -You sincerely believe alcohol to be to elusive 5th food group. -Two hands and just one mouth – becoming a huge problem. -You can focus better [...]

May not really be him, but funny nonetheless. COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington and they tracked her calves to their stalls. But [...]

The Daily Press reported on the Hampton City School System holding its convocation at the newly built (and probably over-subsidized) Hampton Convocation Center, sitting beside the Coliseum. The problem was that the School System wanted to provide punch and cookies. That plan was nixed before the even even was finalized. Why? The price tag: more [...]

Some various things going through my head (pre-first cup of coffee). (1) If you do nothing but talk negatively, act negatively, and behave negatively, what response do you think you’re going to get? Of course! If you sew negativity, you will reap negativity in abundance. To the person in my life who likes to sit [...]
