Asshat Defined

ass hat
Idiotic, stupid. To act like a moron.From the popular insult "to have your head up your ass". This imagery leads to ones ass being placed on the head like a hat, hence "asshat".
Taken from the Urban Dictionary

First let me say thank you to Kelli who posted a comment in my blog after a comment in hers. I have read hers today and been directed to the House of Prince blog which is of course wonderful writing so I just had to post there, and the web just keeps on growing!

Second, let me say thank you to Kelli for the title of my blog today. I was racking my sleep addled brain on the way to work this morning for a catchy phrase to christen this entry with and well… asshat just works :P I love it. Thanks Kelli!

So I watched the movie Crash last night. I’m still digesting how I feel about it today. Believe it or not it was given to me by the hens of the office to watch and *shudder* it was cronie’s rental so I HAD to watch it (though I would have preferred to watch it with Mr. Uber). In any event, I put it off until 9:30pm (big mistake it’s just about two hours long) and sat engrossed for a whopping two hours. The hens though I hate to admit it, were right. There is absolutely no plot to it. However, for a splattering of reminders of the state of our current world on a localized level, it did exceptionally well. It portrayed relations/relationships/racial tensions/lifestyle accurately. The acting was exceptionally well done also. So while my heart weighs heavy with sadness over how we treat each other (as this movie perfectly reminds me), I have to give credit where it’s due. It was a very very good movie. You should all see it if nothing else to keep yourself aware of the tensions that may not always be evident on the surface of our world (or in some places may be all that people see).

Crony is in today, so I must blog in the morning. Lord knows she’s probably got some device that counts how many keys I hit. You know what I find incredibly funny (well boring for some of you I’m sure :P) is that she even bothers?! I mean I’m 34 for god’s sake, she’s 65. Doesn’t she have better things to do with her time? I know I do! Ugh

The Ass hat. In Kelli’s blog she linked to another blog the House of Prince who has some asshat awards to give. I posted a few myself in a comment on both blogs, citing alienware for Asshat of the year (yea, read my post on my forums http://www.utopiaskye.com/ about them) and UPS agreeing with Kelli wholeheartedly.

Why is it the title today? Well 1. It’s funny as hell and 2. Mr. Uber earned the name Asshat in WoW. For what reason I can’t quite remember but among the many names we lovingly refer to him as, Asshat always stuck, secondly only to DJShit, even though technically he’s Mr. Uber :P

So many things I wanted to write about today and despite the caffeine I’m slowly pumping into my body the images, stories, etc are all scattering quicker than feathers in a wind storm.

Well I’ll just have to think on it and re-post. Sitting here at my boring desk with my boring work at my boring job is not helping to inspire me :P

Well Wishes

To Kelli – Keep roaring through those twenties, but make sure you enjoy them. They’re worth it. I send you wishes for a lovely day today.

To Kami – I love you honey and miss chatting with you. This weekend will be busy but we’ll catch up sometime… I wish you happiness today.

To Mr. Quiet Strength – Your support remotely through type has been invaluable. Thank you for that. Today I wish you joy.

To Mr. Uber – One of the things I most appreciate about you is the time when we can just stop “being” and be real with each other. Communication like that is essential to friendship and today I’m grateful for that. I send you much love today and strength… you know why.

To Aussie_male – Countless times you’ve always been around when I needed an ear, a shoulder or just someone to come save me in game. Thanks for being someone I could count on online. That is something you don’t see too much anymore. Today I wish you a beautiful day full of whatever it is you wish to achieve.

To Shaun – Your creativity keeps mine alive. I miss that creative comical chat that has given us such great works as “Cheese ravioli, Pickles, and what was the third thing?” Oh yes, and something about porn stars too? Hmm In any event, you are loved and today I wish you peace as I know your schedule is busier than heck.

To Mr. Serenader – Today I wish you patience ;) I know I fail at this a lot… I think I was absent when they handed out the patience prescriptions in life. But a few times now I’ve seen your frustration level rise easily so today because I am your friend I wish you patience and peace.*smile*

To Dana – I cannot WAIT to see you this weekend. It’s going to be a fun Saturday. Today I wish you peace, joy, love, and strength. Ever since “K” popped up again I’ve been thinking nothing but light shielding thoughts for you. I’ll send those always *smile*. Much love to you and Ms. B and Kyle and Bailey and the whole gang.

To Roze – You are a TRIP. I cannot wait to see you again. Today I wish you joy because when you smile your face lights up like a beacon and the whole world should see that always ;)

To Mom – I know you don’t read this but today I send you nothing but pure love. Reflection at 6am as I’m in the car comes all too often like an unwanted visitor, but sometimes like today the reflection is a clear image of the love I’ve been given in life. Today the reflection was of you and I am grateful for you and all you have done. I love you

To all those who have passed in my life that I regularly speak to and sometimes pray to:
Thank you for your love, that even today in this plane of existence that is devoid of your physical light, is felt tremendously at times.

You are too kind. Thanks for all of the well-wishes today. I don't know about where you are, but in NYC the sun is shining & there isn't a cloud in the sky. A nice start to the day...
Glad you like "asshat" - I think it's hilarious & love that House of Prince started handing out that award!
Re:Crash. I have to say, I was disappointed Brokeback Mountain didn't win best picture, but I have seen Crash, & did enjoy it (as much as one can enjoy a movie that heavy!) I thought the interwoven stories were fantastic.

And I'm always happy to see an internet community that keeps growing! I look forward to reading each other's posts over the coming weeks.
P.S. I'm a Virgo too (I knew there was a reason I liked you! ;-)

Thanks Muse! You hardly know me but have always been so kind. And I'm happy to amuse you. I'm glad I finally found your blog, with help to the Big D of course!

Good luck in the city and when you get back you can relax & enjoy some vino at mi casa. See you Saturday!

In my acquired wisdom I've accepted: 1. That it's OK to admit I like girly things 2. That it's OK I didn't post this ON...
