SUBJ: Happy Birthday, etc!
FROM: Kojak
ATTACH: ?

Hi Rocky!
I Hope you are having a great birthday! Are you still in el nuevo mexico? I bet you have gotten lots of great presents with Christmas and now the b-day too! I just got back from the Midwest and had a pretty random photo shoot with my lady friend yesterday. It was a "bonus" for buying some wedding photography where they took some emotional "couple" shots. It was really too much and I had to sit on some cold concrete for a staged shot and today by bum is sore :) ! Well that's enough about me let me once again wish you a great day, have fun!

The Elements of Style

I have just read a little book that seems to FLY in the FACE of all that we stand for here at Random Sketchy Brainfart. However I did find it quite helpful to read for other writing actions. It is called the ELEMENTZ of STYLE by Strunk and White. What I was thinking was this can we propose some rules to how to work with email writing to make a new instructional writing guideline? For example how quickly should responses be given? Are paragraphs useful? and how about signing your name? I would like to propose a new project of RSBF if anyone has any "LITTLE GEMS" that they use with their email writing just tag your entry: email

consolation beer

xmas is coming and the calendar is almost empty. todays agenda includes a "beer" with a once potential coworker who wants to explain to me WHY I DID NOT GET THE JOB in spite of rocking the interview in my humble opinion. I have no idea what excuses they come with but who knows we will see. I really don;t even think I care but I do like beer so I figure what the heck I will hear the dude out.

With work so hard to come by here is what I have been doing to keep the mind fresh: GO
Not the verb but the East Asian board game of position a la sun tzu's ART OF WAR. Cermak and I have been practicing = hours and hours of endless go ~ we ain't no grand masters but we are building the skills and flexing the mind. And if a war does go down you better watch out because we will have the tactics (KOJAK)

Time Time Time is long

Hi. Its been a long time. In fact I think its been THE LONGEST TIME EVER WITHOUT POST SINCE 2004. So accordingly I have been reading a book entitled chronophobia. Seraiously I did, but all jokes aside, lets get down to our Business transaction. I live by a park now. The squirrel life is thriving there and PERHAPS it is a little TOO thriving. Because often times The squirrels are the only things I sea there. Of course there are also and these but the sqireels. Are HORDING NUTS and freaking out. Its a little bit scary cuz they are so TWITCHY. thats the Nature report for GRNPPOINT borkkklyn...RO
