Creating a Blog!! Creating a Blog!! I am creating a blog Post

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:53:00 +0000

I want to blog about nothing today. I want to ramble on about nothing in particular just because I know I can get away with it. No one reads this blog so I can virtually say and do whatever I want on here. And today I want to spend some time on the topic of "Nothing" Lets see where shall we begin how about the begining. I have always found it a great place to start and lets face it its what the people want. Every started to read a book that started at the end its no fun. Half way through you just stop reading Why? YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ENDING.

Facebooks concern only goes so far.

Why is it that when I have not logged into facebook for a couple of days I get email after email from “The Facebook Team” wanting to know if I am ok? Notices of what I may be missing out on flood my inbox urging me to just log on again, if only for a moment, perhaps just to check out your notifications. Though if I have been logged onto facebook for four days straight I get nothing. Where has facebooks concern gone to? Where is my email from the facebook team now? Maybe just a little reminder email stating "Here is something you might have missed while logged onto facebook, Sunlight."

Five hour energy in apparel form

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:24:00 +0000

Are you tired of waking up still asleep? Do you curse the inventor of the alarm clock every morning? If only there were a way to wake up refreshed, to start the day with a spring in your step. But how? Energy drinks contain harsh chemicals that could make you sterile. Coffee will force you to blurt out inappropriate things at work time meetings causing you to get fired (no one likes the inappropriate jittery guy). The solution is simple put on this t-shirt and feel like your fifteen again unless you are in fact fifteen, but if you are fifteen and in need of an energy burst already you must be on drugs. In that case stop using meth and buy the shirt anyway.

How to get out of a parking ticket

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:33:00 +0000

So in June of last year I got a parking ticket just outside the Seattle aquarium. I knew my time had expired but thought nothing of the 20 dollar ticket that might be on my window when I returned. When I finally made it back to my car and found a parking ticket, I was not surprised. I was surprised to find that the dollar amount of parking tickets had risen to 35 dollars. I thought to myself there is no way I was going to pay this fine it was outrageous. So I checked the "Mitigation by Mail" option and set out to craft a letter that would absolve me of this fine.

Here is the letter.

All names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Case # XXXXXXX June 6^th, 2010

Dear: Honorable Judge

Of the Municipal Court of Seattle

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my letter. I don’t really know where to start so lets try the beginning and see if that gets us where were going.

I had every intention on making it back to my car within the allotted time I had purchased. I was at the aquarium with my soon to be wife and her son that day. Billy is six and I love him like he was my own, but it seems that he always waits till the last possible second before informing us of his bathroom needs. He also possesses an uncanny ability to sense when he is just out of makeable range from a toilet. I won’t go into anymore detail out of consideration to you; let’s just say new pants were purchased.

I fully admit I committed this infraction. Sometimes life has a way of utterly destroying even the best of intentions. I just wanted you to know the reasoning behind it. I’m not one of those people who play parking officer roulette. I was not mad when I arrived back at my car and found my ticket. If you can’t see any reason to reduce my fine it wont burdened me financially. I’m just glad I had the opportunity to explain.

I won’t take up anymore of your time. I just want to thank you again for reading my letter. I hope it wasn’t too painful. I thought about it and this is the first actual letter I have written in about 10 years. I wanted to handwrite it, but being a child of the computer age penmanship was only stressed until third grade. You will notice by my signature that I have suffered because of this.

Respectfully,

Dan Fielding

So what happened?

I was hoping that through this letter the judge would reduce my fine. Well I few weeks later I got a note from the court telling me that I now owe $0 dollars.

Will PETA approve of these Shoes

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:49:00 +0000

I was just wondering are there degrees of animal rights advocates out there? Just like vegans are there different levels of PETA members? No animals were hurt in the making of these shoes, but is even the image of cow hide on products offensive to hardcore animal lovers? I don’t know. I always thought it was ironic that the term "ANIMAL LOVER" could be used to describe people on either side of this issue.

EVERYONE BLOGS ABOUT THANKSGIVING

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:16:00 +0000

So I cooked my first turkey this year. Which upon further inspection was just a turkey breast. For all of you who don’t know turkey breasts are real turkeys, but with their legs and insides missing. So what you are left with is all white delicious turkey meat. It went well, luckily the turkey had a pop up timer on it. This is a spring loaded device that is encased in a certain metal that will only melt when the turkey has reached it optimal temp. I found this out 4 hours in by googling "Do popup timers ever fail". I would say about 10 minutes later the thing popped up and all was well in the world again. After that the constants of turkey day kicked in I ate too much, drank just the right amount and felt severely groggy afterwards. We finished up the night by watching “Cowboys and Aliens” a movie where peaceful people’s lives are interrupted by foreign invaders who inevitably just want them dead, which was surprisingly appropriate. If the cowboys had brought the alien’s food and they had all sat down in the beginning of the movie for a meal, it would have been perfect.

The Future's Not Ours To See

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:31:00 +0000

To find out how an ancient civilization lived we dig deep into the ground to unearth their belongings. With their stuff in our hands we are able to make an educated guess to what life was like in their day. In the future will people dig through unwanted servers, through massive amounts of data to unearth my blog in an effort to figure out what life was like now? I know that seems a little egotistical, but I did only mentioned people of the future finding my blog, not creating a religion where I am their God from it. It just seems that in this day and age we are moving forward so fast that it’s going to get even harder to remember the past. So if you are reading this and its 100 years later and you’re trying to figure out how everything turned out so wonderful it was me. I single handily created your bright future, your welcome. Conversely if you are trying to figure out what the hell happened because it seems to you everything went to shit. It wasn’t me, but I did fight extremely hard for change, there were just too many bad eggs.

NEW Babies are always RIDING DIRTY

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:06:00 +0000

Do you love your new born child? Do you want nothing but the best for that child? Do you really know what goes on at daycare after your drop your bundle of joy off? Statistics show that unattractive/Unfunny babies are virtually ignored at daycare throughout the day. Now I know what your thinking, how can I make my baby the funniest baby at daycare ensuring it receive just as much if not more attention he or she gets at home. Its easy with the “Trying to catch me riding dirty” onsie.

Sometimes life sends you six more buses

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:16:00 +0000

A new school bus transfer station was just erected about a mile from my job. So you can imagine for the last three or four months now I have been seeing about a 1000% increase in the amount of buses in the area. So this morning on the freeway when I encountered a bus in the slow lane I seized the opportunity to pass it. No sooner had I done this did I spy yet another yellow beast a few car lengths ahead. Now my exit was drawing near and I didn’t think I would have enough time to catch this lumbering lemon leviathan, but I went for it. Passing it just before my exit was exhilarating. I was feeling great about avoiding being stuck behind those horrible pollution spewing giants. Just then as I was about to merge onto my street, traffic stopped and all of a sudden six more buses shot past me in the other lane, headed exactly where I was headed. At this point all I could do was laugh. Sometimes life sends you six more buses and you can get mad, yell and scream, and curse the heavens. Or maybe just maybe laugh and realize that throughout your time on this earth, life is going to test your patience and just when you think your close to having it all figured out its likely to completely change.

HEAVEN IS A HALF PIPE!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:11:00 +0000

This is the funniest shirt I've seen in a long time. I grew up in a Christian household and attended a Christian school from grades 1 thru 12. I met a lot of individuals there that gave their religion a bad name. I don’t care what your religious beliefs are, if you’re so caught up in proving you are your gods favorite you’re not doing it right. God doesn’t need your help judging others. If God is offended by half the stuff his followers are I don’t want to go to heaven. I don’t think I would fit in there.

Just like Garfield "I HATE MONDAYS"

noreply@blogger.com (Dan Fielding) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:09:00 +0000

I dislike the feeling of waking up after arguably the most perfect day of the week (Sunday), to find myself dreading the coming week. Why must the best and worse days of the week be back to back? I have no time to savor my Sunday before its evil twin Monday ruins my week. For years now I have been devising a plan to kill my Sunday’s doppelganger to rid it from my week entirely. Though I wonder, would I just shift my hatred to Tuesday whose only redeeming quality still remains that its not Monday.
