The Five W's

I am told that in Journalism School you are taught to consider the five W's. Today I will focus on this technique.

Who Are You?
Well, as you learned yesterday I am not Batman.

For those of you who don't know me in real life...

My name is Paul(ie) and I am a 486 month old single male who has yet to figure out the Meaning of Life (although I have seen the movie). I believe that I have proven that the Meaning of Life is not located at the bottom of a pint glass, but will keep looking there everytime a beer is placed in front of me.

I have been an East Atlanta resident for the past seven years (wow, how time flies) and therefore feel qualified to sign all of these posts as "Paulie [eatl/ga]".

I hash therefore I am. My hash name is Wee Little Bit, you may draw you own conclusions as to why I am named this.

I have a passion for good food, alternative music (especially live), and beer. I am trying to rekindle passions for computer programming and photography.

What's In A Name?
On Monday night at Johnny's Pizza we had the following question
What is a female donkey called?
Being my normal smart-assed self I said a "Jane Ass" (although in hindsight a "Jill Ass" would be a better companion for a "Jack Ass"). It turns out that the correct answer is a "Jennet."

This started me wondering why we have different names for the male and female of some animal species.

It also reminded me of an old joke
Q: What do you call a female peacock?
A: A peacunt.
Thank You! I'll be here all weekend...

When Will I Be Seeing Live Music Again?
Well, if you are reading this via my non Award-Winning Website www.InsideThePerimeter.com then you can quickly look under "LISTENING SKILLS REQUIRED" and see that my next scheduled appearance is the She Wants Revenge (fuck, I just realized that I forgot to record Letterman last night!) show at The EARL on Tuesday night. [UPDATE @9:35am] This just in, that show has sold out. Don't cry to me, I warned you months ago!

I openly take suggestions for other shows. If you have an insider's tip, password, or pre-sale code for an upcoming show I am always willing to listen.

Where Is Paulie Drinking This Weekend?
Tonight, the Atlanta People With Blogs Who Get Together To Drink" will be gathering at the Graveyard Tavern in East Atlanta. Um, I can walk there (and home) so it will be the place to be for me this eve.

As for the rest of the weekend it's all up in the air. For the first time in years (and maybe ever) I have paid day off on Monday for Presidents' Day so I might actually be out Sunday night as well. Just call me crazy.

Why Have I Subjected You To This?
Because I like you. Sorry, today I am feeling a bit uninspired and not very creative. I guarantee a far superior product starting next week or you subscription fees will be refunded. :D

If you have questions, or comments please either comment here or send me an email (you can find my preferred address over there under "HOLLA AT ME").

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal...
Current Mood - unispired. fat. tired. ready to party. wishing the weather was like yesterday.
Current Music - Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 26 playing Radiohead -- "Paranoid Android"
Website Of The Day - Get all the information you've ever wanted to know about donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada.

If you ever want a quick glance of the sites I've picked for my Websites Of The Day, you can check them out on del.icio.us, my user name is InsideThePerimeter (go figure), and they are all tagged as "blogged."

Exercise (b)Log - nothing, giving my knee some time to heal [update: I don't think it's working]

Cheers!
Paulie [eatl/ga]
