Less Mojo, but not Mojo-less

I am becoming far more humble as of late. I realize, although I may be awesome, I am just another person who might be intelligent and does nothing with said intelligence.

Oh! how I wish I were motivated instead of sad.

I can tell there is some subconscious evaluation of my life going on, but I have not become privy to the details or planning yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

In other news, Mojo sounds like something you would use to lubricate another item. I know that Gojo is a cleaner, and lubrication is not too far removed, but it is an inadvertent connection. Mojo sounds like it would lube something well by itself.

When I am infirm, I would choose Mojo to facilitate motion of the components in my rocket wheelchair.

Yet Another Truck Fire on the 880 in Oakland

This morning, I saw I was receiving a respectable amount of hits on a post I made about a coffin truck involved in a fiery accident on the 880. This is my indicator that another truck fire has occurred on the cursed 880 freeway. People, myself included, love to see what caused another truck to burn up on this stretch of the freeway in Oakland.

It probably looked a lot like this (although with fewer cars, and at night):

This time, the flaming vehicle for which people were searching was a mail truck engulfed in a destructive conflagration on the elevated 880 near Broadway in downtown Oakland. Although the accident occurred in the middle of the night, this still was drug out to fuck up the morning commute (I am glad I telecommuted).

I am hoping that no important mail of mine was lost to the fire (as if any mail is not spam or bills anyways).

Frickin’ SWEET Batmobile!

I own this space on the web for at least another couple years… I might as well use it for something.

I was looking for DC Universe Classics Action figures (perhaps my current favorites) at the Toys R Us near my work, and, while the employee was looking in the back, I came across this die-cast Hot Wheel Batmobile.

Admittedly, I had seen it in some toy magazine or online, but it was far too much to resist in the flesh. The only thing that would make it cooler is if it had scale Burt Ward and Adam West action figures along with it… and maybe lights and sounds. Since it is made by Hot Wheels, all I can really expect is a solidly made vehicle though…

It is a solidly made vehicle, die-cast metal with authentic styling touches. It is a good foot long and probably weighs just over a pound. I am going to put it on my TV stand and forget about it.

Divergence: Choosing What to Blog…

Divergence, originally uploaded by southpaw20.

Having a personal website is an infuriating experience. How do you want to be perceived? What is your voice? Should you talk about your life or try to create a topical narrative that focuses your blog?

I have always been beholden to the path of impersonal narrative about a topic, but I like far too much and am far too unfocused to do that properly…

I am just a failure at blogging.

Yes We Can & Fist Bump…

I will admit that I gave a bit of cash to the Obamaster’s campaign, and, in return, I received these awesome pins!

They are just weird… The fist bump is passe when a presidential campaign uses it in their marketing.
