I’m in one of those “FML” type moods. Where I just feel like everything is going wrong in my life, and there’s not going to be anything I can do about it today, so why care? Needless to say, I’m the worlds most cynical asshole today. So I decided: “Why not write a blog about it?”

I posted a Facebook status earlier. It said this:

Michael Gray Barclay is thinking about pulling a Fight Club. Blowing up all of the major credit card corporations, and setting us all back to zero. Either that, or just trying to figure out a way to

I’m so tired of being used by women. I’m not talking about women who only seem to want me for my body (although that’s happened…once). I’m talking about women who use me for my MIND.
Truth be told, I’m a kind, understanding, patient man who is willing to actually willing to listen to women and hear them and their problems. They come to me hoping to feel better by talking to me, and that’s what I do—I make them feel better.
They tell me their problems, they describe what’s going on, they ask for advice, and I give them

So, I work on phones all day long, calling people who already have trading accounts. Some people still treat me like I’m a telemarketer, but yesterday I encountered one of the funniest ways to avoid talking to me.

Me: (Dials number)

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

“Hi, this is John. I’m not available at the moment, so please leave your name, number, and a message after the beep.”

Then he made a “beep” noise with his mouth, and hung up.

Lol.

Veeeerrrry, clever.

Ok, so this made me laugh hysterically. I found this on the Salt Lake City Craigslist Rants and Raves.

I want to do this…LOL.

Scene:

A snotty little girl is tugging at her mother’s hand–they are standing near me next to the dairy section at Walmart. The girl is obviously a little brat, and the mother is too tired to deal with her antics.

Little girl: “You’re not my mommy! You’re not my mommy!”
Mom: “Stop it.”
Little girl: “You’re not my mommy!”
Mom: “Cut it out.”
Little girl: “You’re not my mommy! You’re not my mommy!”
Mom: *facepalm*

Me: “Well do you want to come with me instead, little

Hello again my faithful friends.

I popped open my Google Analytics today, and saw that within the past three days, I’ve gone from 9 views, to 30 views per day! So that’s gotta be saying something. Now, if we can just get people to start interacting on the blog when they read it, I’ll be happy.

Man I’m all over the place today. I keep having ideas and typing them out, only to go back over them and find out that I basically put four thoughts into one blurb. Awesome.

So, today’s topics come from a couple friends.

Number one, and probably the funniest:

“Rich

So I figured that in order to make my day a little bit more interesting, I’d start a blog now (9:00 a.m.) and finish it by the end of my day at work (5:00).  I suppose to make this more of a full day I should have started by 8, but, I didn’t. So there’s really not much I can do about it.

Last night I dove head first into a quest for new music. I do that from time to time. Essentially I get bored with my current 60 GB of music, and search for new artists. So far, I

I originally wanted this blog to be something unique, and fun to read. One post over the past year later, and I’m pretty sure I’ve merited a gigantic “FAIL” in that endeavor. Curse my apathetic procrastination. I’ve tried everything. Doing a blog about opinions, doing a blog about music critique, reviewing movies…I just can’t seem to get into any type of groove with anything I write.

I watched “State of Play” last night, with Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, and Rachel McAdams (<3 her). Not a bad flick actually…but yet again, I’m affected by a similar scenario as always.

Mike sees movie about
