Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

California Vernacular

From time to time I enjoy infusing a bit of my Calispeak into my chats here on the East Siiide. December saw the resurrection of "stoked". "Awesome" has been, and will always be one of my favs. It is always entertaining when first slipping the Calispeak into conversation. Some laugh and get the joke, others have never heard the word before. But all end up using it.

It has been determined that the word of the month is "righteous" accompanied, of course, by the fist pump. So when your boss tells you you're closed on Inauguration Day (Black Thursday in my house), make a fist, push it forward and whisper softly "Righteous".
