Avoiding the obvious

Posted by Corey Charette on Apr 18, 2010 in Life, money

I’ve seen this commercial a few times on the local TV stations and there is one thing that is glaring me in the eyes that they avoid talking about.
The mother in the commercial talks about “making ends meat is a struggle” and goes on to complain how the (New York) governor wants to add new [...]

It

Posted by Corey Charette on Aug 25, 2009 in Life

It creates lives,
and ends them.
It build civilizations,
and tears them down.
It brings joys to some,
and sadness to others.
It’s easy to create,
yet hard to destroy.
It can never be touched,
but can easily be felt.
It’s amazing what love can do.

I Am

Posted by Corey Charette on Aug 9, 2009 in Family, Life

I am a rock star.
I am a superhero.
I am a wizard.
I am a celebrity.
I am a knight.
I am a comedian.
I am a musician.
I am a singer.
I am a wrestler.
I am everything.
And why is this?
Because I am a father.
And my son sees all of this in me.

I Kill People

Posted by Corey Charette on Aug 6, 2009 in Death, Internet, Life

I kill people.  That’s right, you read it.
If you haven’t heard already 80’s film director John Hughes passed away today.  Being a child of that grew up in the ’80’s I related to all of his films back them.  I always wanted to be Ferris Bueller or John Bender or even Kevin McCallister and to [...]

Tales From The Toilet

Posted by Corey Charette on Mar 11, 2009 in Life, work

The bathroom at work always seems to show the strangeness of people.  Well, at my job I always seem to run into one of them in there.
Below is a cross-section of whom I’ve seen while going to “do my business” in the local potty.
The H2 No Guy
We all know this guy.  He’s the one that’s allergic [...]

Fish Bait and Switch

Posted by Corey Charette on Feb 22, 2009 in Death, Fish, Life

I’m a cold blooded killer…..literally.
My family went on a short trip to Virginia leaving me home alone.  That wasn’t a good decision on their part.
My 5-year old son has a fish bowl and a twenty-eight cent Wal-Mart special swimming around in it.  These are the type of fish that have the lifespan of a Jessica Simpson single.  [...]

25 Things You Might Not Know About Me

Posted by Corey Charette on Jan 19, 2009 in Life

Inspired by Bwana McCall’s posting, I’ve been inspired to make my own:

I am a die-hard Doctor Who fan, and have been since 1984.
Even though I am a fan of Rock, I have Air Supply on my Zune.
Not a big fan of sports, only watch the Super Bowl and the World Series.
I hate roller coasters and [...]

The joys of forwarding calls

Posted by Corey Charette on Jan 5, 2009 in Life

A few years ago when I lived in Tampa, FL I got a land line with the phone number (813) 888-1234.  Occasionally, someone living in the 813 area code would call an 888 toll free number and forget to dial a 1 before it, so they would accidentally call our house.
Not a big deal, but [...]

The lifespan of a balloon

Posted by Corey Charette on Nov 20, 2008 in Life, Uncategorized

As I was at my son’s football banquet on Sunday, I was watching the kids running around with balloons hitting each other and having a good time.
Then, I thought to myself: “How long will it be before one of them pops?”  Within a few minutes a loud BANG was heard throughout the hall.
So, I sat [...]
