Mobsters and Roborants


Hey people,


So in case you didn't know, I have been a finishing carpenter for a little over a year and a half now. I've formed some good relationships at work, enjoy the work itself, and, combined with the fact that I can take time off whenever I want, I have minimal stress as a result. All that to say the atmosphere at work is pretty light, and we usually end up talking about pretty amazing things for most of the day. The topics of conversation may seem meaningless upon first glance, but at some point in my life, I know that I will need to know things like the fact that a ninja could probably beat up a samurai. Or that when I rap, I sound and look most like Dr. Dre. Today we spent alot of time thinking about what our mob names would be if we were in the Italian Mafia. I chose Giuseppe as mine but my co-worker seemed to think that that was a Jewish name. I'm sticking with it. Anyways, pointless stuff, but i'm interested to know all of your closet mobster names. I know you've thought about it.

Hey, if you're not already, get onto dictionary.com and on the mailing list for the word of the day. It's a way to expand our vocabulary in a time where language is simplifying and moving backwards. Think about it, by the time our kids are our age, they'll all talk in MSN to each other, and how annoying will that be? Take a step in the right direction people. Today's word is ROBORANT, which mans "strengthening; restoring vigor, or, a strength restoring medicine. Strangely after typing this much I am in need of a roborant. LOL, LOL, TTYL, JKJK, BRB.

Hi John,
I just came across your blog today. Glad to see you've entered the "blogging world". Anyway, just wanted to comment on the name Giuseppe...There was a famous Italian composer named Giuseppe Verdi and his second wife's name was Giuseppina so I think you can safely take it as your Italian Mafia name. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun at work. Made me chuckle. Have a good week.
