Purple Because
I may have been tired a lot of the time I was in China and used that as an excuse not to blog, but at least I had stories to tell had I made my lazy butt type. So far, in 2009, nothing interesting has happened to me to be deemed blog worthy.
Besides putting our table project on hold until we have more time and good weather, the only thing Phil and i have been doing is house hunting. We’ve been looking rather seriously for nearly 2 months now. We haven’t had a lot of luck. It’s supposed to be a buyer’s market right now, so you would think it would be a little easier to find what we are looking for. So far, every thing we have found and been really interested in has either had a major flaw or been sold by the time we found it. Tomorrow we are taking a second look at a downtown property that seems to have some potential. Hopefully, we won’t find anything really wrong with it. If the viewing goes well, then we have to jump the hurdle called a “short sale”. It could be a risky buy, so Phil is going to have to do some serious thinking before he signs any paper work. I’ll let you know how it goes.
And since I have absolutely nothing else to talk about, I am going to post a picture of a purple flower that I took back in 2005. I was in to purple way before it became the cool color.
Purple’s not cool.

Teachers now use purple pens instead of red when they grade papers. They say purple doesn’t make people as nervous or something like that.

That still doesn’t make it cool.
And it’s moreso an act of not using red than it is using a particular color. My high school Spanish teacher used green pens and I’ve had college professors use blue. It didn’t make me feel any less nervous, but it did make me feel like a little bit less of retard.

How can you be hatin’ on purple when your Clemson Tigers colors are Orange and PURPLE? 🙂

Hey, just because I go somewhere doesn’t mean I have to like everything about it.

I love purple anything! My dorm in college was all purple, I had to tone it down for Stick, but he’s a Vikings fan so our study/computer room still has a lot of purple decor.
