I really hate the wait between football seasons because it happens to be the only sport I care to watch.  It’s even a harder wait when there’s so much in the air regarding your team.  My Packers for instance have been on a major roller coaster for the past few years.  After a long run of success, they sank to a very forgettable 4 wins in 2005, rose to a so-so even wins & losses in 2006, to an overtime field-goal loss away from making it to the Super Bowl in 2007.  It would have been really nice to have watch MY team beat the New England Cheaters, er…  I mean Patriots…

But here the Packer fans sit, waiting and wondering if Aaron Rodgers will be able to carry on the winning ways that the Packers regained during the last year of the Brett Favre era.  I think he’ll do well as long as he doesn’t go and get hurt again.  He’s been with the team long enough to know the system and he showed that he could play well in last year’s game against Dallas. We’ll see…

So here I am waiting for a report to run at work and I have a decision to make. Take a few minutes to write up a quick post to my ever-neglected blog, or clean my desk. It’s obvious by the fact that you’re reading this that my desk remains cluttered…

I’ve been torn recently because this blog has a split personality. I love talking about geeky things like toys, comics, etc, but I also love updating friends and family on what’s going on with everyday life and sharing family pictures. Unfortunately, I don’t’ think many of my family members are interested in the latest U.B.Funkeys figure I found or what comic I just enjoyed reading. On the flip, I don’t think the people finding my site by searching on Custom Invader Zim Figures are all that pumped to see a gallery on my kids bowling.

I think what I’m going to do is free the two from their bonds. Augiewan.com will remain my more personal “family & friends” oriented blog and theSpeakeasy.com (a domain I’ve wanted to utilize for quite a few years now) will become my “geek” blog. Sound good? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

OK, so I forgot about this post I started and now it’s time to go home. So here are a few proud pics of my evolving new office…

First, a shot of one wall in my ever-evolving office. Proudly displayed in the middle is my Invader Zim poster. Below is my small Green Bay Packers display. GO PACK! To the right you can see some figures which include Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy characters, Edward Scissorhands, and Smiley Bone in a cow suit. To the left we have some of the guys from Cartoon Planet and Rogue from the X-Men movie.

And lastly, we have my brand spankin’ new white board, just hung on the wall today. Tomorrow, I leave on a training trip so I needed to leave something on the board. I think Zim fills it nicely…

Booyah, and have a nice day…

This is a test…
