If I Could Get a New Job

Now, I know its randomized by a computer but I'd love to be the person that types those letters that you have to type to verify comments to post them on someone's blog. I'd type really random words like "Buttercream," "Revolving Door," and "Flan." Or I just jam on the keys for a couple of seconds like, "aklefhaeuihfkanekjfhiwehfkaherigslkfjglirjtoqjherotfhabawiehfuiahrgia" and they would have to re-type it back exactly in order to get their comment posted. The best thing I'd do is copy and paste entire news articles and have people re-type those.

Man, that'd be an awesome job.

(Also I'd like to apologize to my wife who saw the title and thought this was a serious blog post. Sorry, honey. It's just me screwing around again.)

Do You Remember?

I was just thinking the other day and do you remember what your earliest possible memory is? I have a couple and I'm not really sure where I can place them in my mind but they are cloudy and I'm sure either of them are the earliest. I have two memories:

1) I remember being in an earthquake because I remember the room was shaking. I was looking around. We had a red cloth couch I remember seeing that. I'm not sure if it was my mom or my older brother but one of them was standing against holding onto the couch.

I try and place this but based on where I've lived the only place feasible for an earthquake would be Arizona. I was born there and I don't think we lived more than a couple years there. So I couldn't have been older than two. Does anyone know how far back a person can remember stuff?

2) I remember being held up by one of my older brothers or my Pop and we were looking at our dog. I think her/his name might have been Candy and that she/he may have been a wiener dog. This could have been in Iowa but I'm not sure. This has to be after the earthquake.

The reason why I thought about this because I was thinking about my boys and how fast Casey is growing and learning and remembering things. I was wondering what their earliest memories will be and if I'll be in any of them. My boys are so important to me and I hope that their earliest memories are good ones or at least something they can vaguely make out better than I can. I just hope they're not of me shouting at the TV from getting destroyed in Gears of War 2 on Xbox Live.

I hope this isn't their earliest memory. Because we already have the pictures to show for it.
