There is Bondage Inside Freedom
"...there is bondage inside freedom. I keep [her] inside a prison made of air, tha tie that binds [her] to me is inside [her] mind."

Inside Out
Ugh, how we communicate at work:
"Hi, the issue below is resolved but is not yet in production. I would like to wait and add in another fix for later this week for the sake of efficiency. Our Business Partner has brought to light an urgent change that I would like to include on this EQF. If need be this change will be escalated to A., G. and / or E.L.. It is a change to the filter on the calculation of the “Top Up” file and the generation of a new extract file to LMG. There is currently an inconsistency in the Top Up resulting in [redacted]. We were originally directed on how to consume, calculate and display this, and we did so correctly, but the business partners have since found a better logic to prove the calculation, and thus they need this fixed. Everything needed for this already exists in our file feeds… it’s a back-end change, as I mentioned, like a different filter.
D. is the person who did this piece of the development. We are getting a detailed requirement from R. (Business Partner). K. is going to estimate the work in the am and let me know what is possible for him.
E., can we do it this way - tacking it on to the pending EQF?
Thanks guys,
MB"
Outside me sneaking out at work:
"Hi team mates!
I have a need. A need for speed! Actually, a need for plastic bags, you know like from Loblaws, etc. I need them for my doggie poops. If you have some I will gladly take some off you. Thanks,
MB"

I HEART TONI
Ah good times. Me and Toni last night on my front porch (wasted as usual). And another nice thing... I saw my friend Vanessa in Starbucks today, totally random, she's here from Chicago for a quick visit.

I'm Tired
I'm tired of your lies
Tired of your games
I'm tired of both your Great Danes
And another thing
I don't like your moms
And another thing
I don't like your car
You got a bad haircut
And your house smells weird
And I'm tired of, I'm tired of
You callin' off our weddin'
That's why I love Kristin Wiig.

The Rules of Gayball
- You must have at least 4 players
- You must have an even amount of players
- Players should be couples
- Players should be gay, gay-ish, gay leaning, pretty faggy, or at least gay-positive
- The ball must be of the smallish beach ball variety, about the size of a soccer or volleyball and it MUST be covered in gay decals or illustrations
- You may play gayball in a pool or other body of water or you may play on land
- There are no nets in gayball
- Each two players are a team who compete against all others in the game
- Teams must avoid accumulating points
- No team may consist of a couple (couples are divided)
- The ball may not touch the water or ground
- The players are lined up across from each other in a quadrant or in an amoeba formation; players and teams can set themselves up any way they want
- The ball must be volleyed by any means using the hands or other body parts
- Any player can catch and hold the ball; the ball may not be caught and held twice in a row (i.e., after someone else just caught it)
- After the ball is caught and held it must be sent back into play within 2 seconds
- If someone drops the ball or someone went for it and missed it then that team gets a point (points are bad); the person who is closest to the ball when it lands on the water or the ground gets the point, regardless of whether or not they went for it
- First team to reach 20 points is out and is very gay indeed
- Play continues until only one team remains and they are deemed the winners
