Anti-April Fools

April Fool’s Day is one of the few ‘holidays’ that I don’t enjoy because I think it’s inherently mean-spirited.


I know that the pranks pulled on this day are supposed to be “all in good fun” but I don’t think a lot of people really understand what that means. To me, it means “everyone finds it funny,” not “everyone *but you* finds it funny.”

And call me ‘uptight,’ but I just don’t find those kinds of things funny. I guess it’s kind of a sore spot with me.
    A GOOD APRIL FOOL’S JOKE: a guy announces he’s pregnant. (ridiculous)
    A BAD APRIL FOOL’S JOKE: a girl announces she’s pregnant. (plausible)
So yeah, that’s my “beef” with April Fools Day. But give me Pi Day, (3/14) Talk like a Pirate Day (9/19), or any of those other ‘holidays’ that people celebrate *just because* and I’m your man.

In any case, I thought I’d do post some Anti-April Fooling news and just update you all on some new happenings in my life:

  • My brother called me the other day and mentioned he’s coming to L.A. to visit for a week. He’s coming the last week of April (26th – 30th?). Gonna try and see if I can take a day off that week so we can do the “family bonding” thing.
  • Been trying to find some companies / non-profit orgs that are looking for volunteers. This will be my way of slowly ‘trying to find a new job’ if things don’t change at my current one soon.
  • Evan is moving out come June 2010 so I’m beginning to look for a new place to live / a new roommate to take his place. My ideal area would be “Eagle Rock” / “Highland Park” (in the middle of everywhere I want to be) but I’m just worried about being able to afford a place on my own if I can’t find a roommate.
  • I have no idea if that short film script I wrote will ever be produced. My director friend is turning out to be flaky as hell & might even be moving since she got accepted into several film schools outside L.A.
Okay, that’s enough for now.

TRY NOT TO BE AN @$$ ON APRIL FOOL’S DAY, OKAY???
Kthx.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add
to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

I seldom leave comments, but i did a few searching and wound
up here "Anti-April Fools". And I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it seem like some of these remarks look like left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I'd like to follow
everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of your communal
pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
