Today is Wednesday: an Update

Poor blog I have been neglecting you.  I feel that I owe you an explanation and an update.  Well first things first, I haven’t posted anything in quite sometime as you can obviously see by the time stamps that are on each post.  I have been trying to migrate my blog to a new web address, www.mikeyvb.com.  I feel that since this is my outlet for rantings, ravings and sometimes albeit occasional musings, that I should drop the 10 year old handle and go for something that is more personal.  So with that being said that is the why, now it is time for the, are you ready for it?  NEW CONTENT!

My brother just mentioned Whataburger which reminded me of something that I thought about a few weeks ago.  That was the lead in to this story,  a few weeks ago while at Whataburger I ordered a meal and noticed that they were out of ice while trying to fill my cup.  Most people in this situation, me included, would be rather annoyed by this event especially since I was going to have tea.  Shortly after my annoyance I thought about what a giant baby I was being to be annoyed by something so minute as a lack of ice.  Which lead to me thinking about other places where people are either lucky to have something to drink while they eat or lucky enough to eat and here I was annoyed that I had to drink room temperature tea.  In hindsight though I don’t think I was wrong in my initial reaction, I have a certain quality of life here in the United States which includes ice for beverages.  I think that everyone gets used to their situation however good or bad it may be and when it differs from the normal we tend to get annoyed or in some cases angry.  It was a stray thought, but something that got me thinking.  It’s funny how small our scope of the world can be when we are concerned with the day to day.  That’s all I have to say about that, more content to come soon, this time I mean it.
