How to get your ass canned at my workplace?

Grabbing the receptionist's ass repeatedly and telling her you want to tittie fuck her.
Blatantly stealing office supplies while the CFO is making photocopies (two pages per side, double-sided mind you).
Blogging about what I do at work.

So, the third point really did happen. Unfortunately, it's one of the reasons that keeps me from blogging in the first place. Companies have been keeping secrets since Coca-Cola no longer uses cocaine in their little mix, but where I work I can't really talk about what I do. I can't talk about whom I talk to, I can't talk about whom I work with (some I can't) simply because it may affect a company's bottom line. So, a relatively new employee where I work unfortunately forgot to remember his confidentially agreement he signed and said some wonderful things about an item he was working on. Well, the company called the boss. Boss apologized. Man was fired. We felt pretty bad about it too. He wasn't trying to be malicious, but the company believed that even the information in the blog could have affected their bottom line.

So, new rule...I cannot talk about work except to say it's busy, not busy, or I'm disinterested. Sometimes the generalizations can get you into trouble. With that, here is to a new month of posts. If I can do one everyday, I'll be a happy go-go bear!

While watching my buds at CNN, the reporter announces a new Hezbollah tape denouncing something about the Israeli Defense Force. They bring up the tape (in Arabic) with and English translator babbling above the group's spokesperson. The kicker, the English voice over is from yesterday's press conference with President Bush and Prime Minister Blair! It was a hoot and it just made my day. Off to take in some UV rays and dip in the pool at the local homo haunt, The Raven. Ok, now back to your sweltering afternoon.

Enjoy your week.

What I Love Most About...... Philly!

Ok, so I lived in Philly for about two years although my friends still tell me if it's not Center City, it's not the city. East Falls (Grace Kelly, the current governor of PA, Arlen Specter....) was a quaint little village between Manayunk and the Art Musuem. I'm not a fan of listing things, so I'll just leave one item and maybe a few weeks from now do another what I love most about blogs. Sound good? Clear as mud?

Food - I can not tell you how much (quantity, quality, sizes in between) I love Philly cuisine. More than cheesesteaks, more than deconstructed bouillebase, more than the creepy guy near the football stadium selling pretzels along the road, more than homemade lasagna at BYOB's, more than Flemmish mussels in beer broth, more than freshly flown-in seafood from Japan, more than my own cooking! So, yeah, I love it!

OH my!
I had a wonderful time Friday night at Barrage w/ the bloggers.
One thing I need to remember is that imbibing in shots usually has me stripping or flashing someone (the exhibitionist in me)...good thing not all the boys saw it.

Looking forward to reading all the blogs from their respective authors that I met. If you're reading this, then maybe you decided to take a look at mine. Trust me, it will get better. Tonight is in Philly with a movie and maybe a misto shake from Rita's

It's snifferific!
I got to hand it to myself to get sick soon after the XXL party. It's tough having a sinus infection, but it's worse when your doctor isn't available until Monday and your HMO laughs saying seeing an emergency doctor for a non emergency is a waste of time + money (and I agree). So, I may google health centers that have physicians assistants and take it from there. I get sinus infections (sinusitis or a variation of it) about 5 times a year. One year I had it 10 times so averaging about once a month my doctor basically told me to get the hell out of the house I was in and find somewhere else to live.
So, I'll keep blowing out my multi-colored mucus and maybe start some bacterial cultures to grow for friends. The sad part is I may miss the blogger event in NYC if I don't feel better tomorrow.

OK, a quick post before the end of May goes by.
So I really wanted to do this more often, but XXL, hot men wherever I turn, it's a tragic thing...but how can some men make time and I can not?
Well, I decided to set my cell phone to beep once a day reminding me to add something to the blog. That way, I'll be able to just get to a PC, type something (anything....) and post it. So, I'll try to push myself to add more in the month of June...like the 1st...my brother's birthday and rent is due.

On the origins of a blogname...

So, many of you have asked me over the years, "VinnyBagODonuts!? Where the heck did that come from? You on crack? "
Well, crack addictions asides, my name was derived from an alleged 'magic' mushroom consumption of a young woman named Mary while I attended one year of college at the University of Delaware. Mary had a vision (trip) where she resided in "Mary Land." Mary's friends were had businesses in her town, her worldspace. Someone had a tire shop, I think there was a doctor's office, but I was bestowed the honor of the baked goods store - aptly named Vinny's Bag-O-Donuts. Mary was delighted to find that I only sold doughnuts in bags as opposed to boxes that could amputate the sides of her favorite doughnuts. Well, the name stuck. I started to use it for my IRC screen name, friends yelling it across campus, etc. When I transferred for my final three years at Penn State, I felt I had grown out of bag o donuts, but soon after graduation and off into the corporate world I started using it on gay.com and some 'dirty' sites.

Maybe after posting this I can just provide folks a link on why I have this name.

Ok, well apparently I can't save this pic in my profile. I've tried it for about 30 minutes. Anyone with any clue why a jpg file extension under 50K still won't save to the profile setting by uploading onto this website, send me an e-mail. If not, I won't bother posting the naked ones... *grin*

Well, it's been a while folks. I'm back on the blogging circuit.
I want to accomplish more than posting once every two years!

I'll try to blog at least once a week.
Creative writing of my past may take a while - be patient.
"Promises! Promises!" is the only musical I'm aware of that has a lyrics with 'Turkey Lurkey' in them.

Many thanks to palochi for some inspiration to get back into this. Just give me a little time and I'm sure I can get into it. It took weeks to get into HBO's "The Wire" and it's only season 4.

Hi...This is my first blog. I'm happy to report that I don't have anything that important to add to the blogging world, but I believe that each person has their own unique look at things.
