As you may know, I shop for movies often. I like movies. Well, I have been looking at movies yesterday and most of them seem to come with the subtitle, "Special Edition." Now, I have to ask. Is there a "normal edition" available? If I buy this, am I more special than anyone else? I think the answer is no. I do not think there is any other edition out there. This is a ploy to get me to buy it because I will then be able to feel "special" knowing I did not get just "any old" edition, but the special edition. Yay for me, right? Wrong. Little do I know that their "Special Edition" is just a normal edition and it is their "ultimate edition" that is "special." Pretty soon, they will have "Ultimate Supreme Being Edition" which will translate to "pretty good features" in today's world.
This reminds me of the Tylenol complaint issued by Jerry Seinfeld. Everywhere I go, I see Tylenol, "Extra Strength." Everywhere! I have to wonder now though ... do they even sell "normal strength" anymore? "Do you have normal strength Tylenol?" "No, I'm sorry, normal strength is off the market. You cannot even buy normal strength anymore." It is funnier when he says it. Trust me on this.
So what is new? I bet you are wondering when I will say what is new in my life. Well, at this very moment I am sitting dressed and ready for work ... I have to leave rather soon. As far as the new and exciting. I am going out with Emily for 9 months now (as of 2 days ago) and things are going well. I'm happy. :-) She's pretty too. Anyway, uh ... what else. I am just about ready to send those applications out for teaching and then ... then I can be stressed out while I sit in interviews. I do need to get my background checks renewed though.
Jason Kleib and I are going to Toronto March 13th for a few days. Should be interesting as I have never been to Toronto. Hotels are cheap up there, which is nice so that is a bonus. I guess that is all for now though, work beckons me. Have a good day.

Toronto is pretty... what part are you visiting? Why are you going there?
I demand, yes demand... to see a cute picture of you and Emily on your blog. Not all of us have met her. Not all of us live within 100 miles of you. Just because we are far away doesn't mean we don't care or want to see your happiness... blog it please! :::demand lifted because i am not a demanding person:::
