Same Name; Different Guys

Filed under: Day in the Life of... — Tags: , — donosmond @ 11:27 am

I’m always amused by the number of random notes I receive on Facebook that say something like, and I quote, “…just thought you would like to know that my generation still appreciates your music!”

Thanks! I don’t perform. I think you’ve got me confused with some other guy — maybe, Donny?

But, I’m glad you like my dad’s music; I do, too!

Do I really look 50? ha ha ha!

Break-ups explained

Filed under: Dating,Day in the Life of... — Tags: — donosmond @ 7:26 pm

Another funny found online.


Guy 1: Why are breakups so hard?
Guy 2: Because they are sunk costs, and we’re not good at admitting lost investment.
Guy 1: That’s the best explanation I’ve ever heard.
Guy 2: I’ve had plenty of experience, both romantic and otherwise. Once you become good at accepting sunk costs, no investment is too great; just like gambling, honestly. If you’re willing to lose it, you’re ready to win.
Guy 1: You should be a writer or something.

Is that a new jacket?

Don’t even think about denying that this has never happened to you.

With the cold weather coming in, I purchased a new jacket. And, as with every new clothing item, tags are omnipresent throughout the article – including stickers. (You know where I’m going, don’t you?)

Well, it has been about three weeks since my purchase and I just noticed something…

Yep! I’ve been walking around with a nice little “M” sticker on my chest. And, I never noticed it until today!

Precarious Sleeping Moments

Filed under: Day in the Life of... — Tags: — donosmond @ 7:31 am

Twice this week I’ve fallen asleep in places you typically shouldn’t fall asleep: the park, the chiropractor’s office.

It might be because I’ve been averaging five to six hours of sleep a night. Why? Because I’m single, and there are parties every night.

Mind you I was only out for about 15 – 20 minutes at each location, and after waking up I fully rested and ready to take on the rest of the day. Which got me thinking… I should nap everyday!

This idea then triggered the answer to my all-burning question; “Who am I going to vote for?” I’ll vote for whomever will mandate siesta time.

Déjà vu vu

Filed under: Day in the Life of... — Tags: — donosmond @ 8:20 am

It happened to me again!

So the first time I can see why that song came on. It’s been on the charts for a while and very popular. However, this morning I had a bit more of an obscure song running through my mind: Broken Wings by Mr. Mister.

Is that trippy or what? I was singing the song when I turned my car on.

What’s a Zephyr? Why a Rat?

Filed under: Day in the Life of... — Tags: — donosmond @ 7:58 am

Last Saturday, I went to a Salt Lake Bees game with a few friends. During the game, one of them asked me, “What’s a Zephyr?” (The question spawned from the fact the Bees were playing the Zephyrs)

And having a wealth of knowledge at my finger tips (the Blackberry), I decided to Google it.

Turns out zephyr has multiple definitions:

  • The west wind.
  • A gentle breeze.
  • Any of various soft light fabrics, yarns, or garments.
  • Something that is airy, insubstantial, or passing.

Well, isn’t that interesting?

I looked up at the scoreboard and took notice of the Zephyr’s mascot – a rat! I then asked, “Why a rat?”

Summer Santa

Can someone please help me out here?

I love Christmas just as much as the next person, but… honestly… We are in the middle of June. What ever happened to things having their time and place?

I will add, that’s not a Utah plate on that car. So don’t even think of blaming a Utahn.

I took this picture with my camera phone on my way home from work.

2008 Daytime Emmy Faux Pas

Filed under: Day in the Life of... — Tags: , — donosmond @ 6:40 pm

Did anyone else catch Tyra Banks verbal faux pas during her Emmy acceptance speech for her talk show? I swear… I guess the writers’ strike continues.

As she was saying her thanks, and recognizing everyone who helped her along the way, she thanked her mother. She said, and I quote, “I wanna thank my mama for her perspiration, and doing everything she could to instill power inside of me.”

Did I hear that right? Perspiration? Since when did perspiration instill power?

Or do you think she meant to say persistence? Or perseverance?
