Swiss Army Block
This weekend I had the chance, nay, opportunity to do a little plumbing work Saturday. The objective was to hook up an industrial strength stainless steel sink with three drains and the water lines. In order to prep myself for the task at hand, I loosened my belt a few notches so my butt crack would hang out. Say no to crack right? And I’ll have to agree with the Good Senior on this one. Even though the miracle of modern technology and American laziness has brought up Lego-like pipe pieces…it’s still a pain hook everything up. In the olden days of plumbing where your hacksaw and glue were your trusty companions, now its all about the snap and twist pieces…now you actually have to sit down and plan out what you need. Where is the fun in that? What happened to the glue fume induced state of nirvana when all the plans magically came together?
And what happens when the new sink drains are lower than the main drain pipe and gravity is laughing at you…pointing it’s 9.8 m/(s)^2 finger at you? Cement blocks. That’s right, jack that puppy up. Like most artists that have a signature style, my signature is a ghetto touch. I seriously think that the cement (or cinder) block is one of the most versatile inventions yet. Way more versatile that the Lego pipe pieces. I mean, you can use them to hold up beds, cars, tables, make bookshelves, build houses, and it even functions as a universal key. That’s practically a Swiss Army Block. The possibilities of a block are only limited by your imagination. MacGyver would be proud.
In other weekend news, thanks to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday. I also got the chance to take the lovely Christina on a tour of Attapulgus, Bainbridge, and Climax GA. Ah yes, the ABC’s of Southern living. Yeah…it was a short tour but we had a good time. I also hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Rock, rock on!

I'm currently living in Tallahassee, FL where I am a senior in the Computer Science program at FSU and a C# web developer for a local software company.
I’ve heard a lot of crazy stories that began “The thing that sparked it was booze”, but no one has ever told me that booze caused them to run 10 marathons without stopping. In fact, by the time you have enough booze that you think you can run 10 marathons, you will probably have a hard time even walking.
