Out of Context…
There are two things that I would like to document. First, those strange things that people say, when taken out of context, are totally cool. For example, one of my coworkers said:
“I don’t have a parent”
He was talking about his application plug-in code.
Something else that I would like to document are those things that you never thought would come out of your mouth…especially when talking to a kid. My favorite is from Bill Engvall:
“Don’t bite the dog.”
Which I myself have had to use. And then, this weekend my wife said the following to my 20 month old daughter:
“Melody, don’t drink out of the toilet.” (yuck)
About
I am a 30-something year old father of two.
Dante – a three year old autistic boy. Sometimes referred to as “Mini Matt”
Melody – an 18 month old with speech delays (but not autistic)
I have a beautiful wife who is my college sweetheart.
I have been living in the wonderful city of Charlotte, NC for the past three years…and I am quite happy with the area.
My occupation is as a Software Test Engineer. Since most people don’t know what that is, I can tell you that, essentially, I break software for a living. More specifically, I search for defects in software for a living. For the most part I enjoy my job, but I am constantly wondering if I wouldn’t be happier doing something else.
My favorite author is, without doubt, Isaac Asimov. However, I don’t read that much. I am a member of the Nintendo generation and enjoy watching TV and playing video games much more enjoyable than reading.
I graduated from James Madison University in 1998 and Waynesboro High School/CSVRGS (Central Shenandoah Valley Regional Governor’s School) in 1994.
I have recently taken up knitting, which is calming, but also pretty dull. I am currently working on a JMU/WHS scarf to wear to football games. Both school’s colors are Purple and Gold (convenient, no?).
I pride myself on my own quirky sense of humor and intelligence and curse my laziness. All perfectly normal I’m sure.
My favorite music is Country, Soft Rock and Oldies (and that is pretty much it). My favorite date with my wife is to go to the movies. Though we also go bowling and to putt-putt.
My favorite foods are Pizza and Buffalo Wings (when I can find good ones).
I think that pretty much covers it.
