it's always the same story

I think if you were to survey every person who changes their cell phone number these days, you would find that a vast majority of them are doing it to get away from a member of the opposite sex.

effing netmeeting

I was just about to blog something and I get an IM from one of the guys on my team saying

Mike: I'm watching you ;)
Mike: you blogger

Then I realize I just got done with a half hour meeting of showing him how to do something on netmeeting and I hadn't closed it yet and he was watching what I was doing. Stupid netmeeting.......

You know how I know you're gay?

So I have a tendency to overuse the term "gay" to describe things which I think are lame. In fact, the term "gay pains" has made it into my regular vocabulary (for those not familiar with the concept of gay pains, think of how you feel every time you hear Wham! on the radio. yup. that's gay pains).

Apparently this aspect of my speech makes certain friends/coworkers unhappy. People love to get self righteous when they feel they are somehow protecting a minority group from offense even though they are not a part of that group. Of course I would be more considerate, except that my friends who are in those minority groups never care the slightest bit.

Anyways I'll get to the point. Last night we are sitting on the beach just outside our hotel in Tel Aviv drinking a bit and just enjoying the waves. Out of nowhere, all the sudden there are 4 dudes on horses trotting slowly down the beachfront.

GAY PAINS!

Undeniable.
