New RSS Feed
It's time I act like a real geek and host my own blog. I'm switching to self-hosted wordpress.
New feed is feed://www.tdhurst.com/?feed=rss
Let me know what you think.

Seven things I'm dying to tell you...
The rules are simple. Write seven things about yourself and then tag seven people, link to their blogs and ask them to do the same.
I was tagged by @spellwight and @dpatricklewis this week, so here goes.
1. I am a huge Seattle Mariners fan. I grew up listening to baseball games and always dreamed of going to Spring Training. My very first tickets were given to me by Raul Ibanez, who I recognized at the Apple Store. I videotaped myself getting out of the car, walking through the parking lot and walking into the stadium. One of the best days of my life.
2. Everything good that has happened to me in AZ has stemmed from working at the Apple Store at the Biltmore. I quit because they wouldn't let me teach customers anymore.
3. I have a tendency to never ask permission, read the directions or think things out beforehand. This has not always gone well, but attempts to change have failed.
4. I am terrible at cutting my fingernails. I bit them for 28 years and HATE having to cut them. I get manicures as often as I can. On a related note, I have never owned a comb or brush. Okay, so those thoughts aren't really related.
5. I moved to AZ five years ago to attend grad school, got bored and never finished. Honestly, I think the only reason I'm still here is because I'll feel guilty if I leave without my degree. Yes, this sounds ridiculous and I haven't attended class in over two years.
6. I hate stupid/ignorant people. I have very little patience for those that seemingly refuse to learn about the world around them. Yes, I'm a bit of an elitist and have high standards for those I associate with.
7. I get very, very dizzy on any kind of ride. Roller coaster, merry go 'round, spinning cups...gah. If it moves and it's not a car or plane, I get dizzy. Yes, I threw up once when I was 16 and have never, ever been on a ride since.
Now, I'd like to hear seven things about the following people.
Chelsea Winkel because she is really funny when she's honest.
Paige Dellarmi because she's infatuated with the Suns and Matt Barnes.
Don Crossland because it will take him a day to write this much.
Zach Owenby because I don't think he talks enough.
Jenn Hoffman because she loves talking about herself.
Mark Dudlik 'cause the dude is kinda crazy and his website kicks ass.
Paul Martinez because he's an even bigger baseball fan than I am.
Remember to pass it on!

2008 was my rebuilding year
I lost 45 lbs.
I can now run 7+ miles with relative ease.
I lost a girlfriend and a cool apt.
I lost my job.
I lost my self doubt.
I lost my social media cherry to Twitter.
I lost a lingering infection.
I gained a ton of new friends.
I gained muscle.
I gained some lifelong relationships.
I gained a sense of purpose.
I gained a sense of what I want to do with my life.
2008 was a heckuva rebuilding year. Hope you all enjoy your successes and overcome the obstacles in even more style than I did.
And thanks.

Taking care of my sister's cats
Instructions from my sister to her roommate. Logan left for four entire days.
Taking care of my precious kitties, One and Two
(AKA Boy and Girl, Lucifer and Hades)
Taking care of One and Two is a huge responsibility, I hope you are ready to take this on. I have written out a detailed list of how to properly care for the health and happiness of my delightful children. Missing any of the following steps may result in a less than desirable outcome. I wish you all the luck in the world and know I can tell when they have been mentally and/or physically abused. Please handle with care.
1. One and Two are to be feed in the morning between the hours of 4am-7am. Softly pet each one 3 times and tell both of them individually “good morning my love”. Scoop ¼ cup of dry food from the jar, fill bowls, repeat. Each bowl shall contain ½ cup dry food. Gracefully pat each one on the head, tell them “have a magnificent day my sweets, I will hurry home to see you tonight”.
2. Check water level. It should not be less than 1 inch in the container. If water needs to be filled bring to sink, empty, and refill ONLY with Brita 42 degrees filtered water.
3. In the afternoon my pocket sized little ones like to play. Throw the soft ball for ½ hour every day with One and 15 minutes for Two. After a amusing game of “catch”, embrace One and Two in a soft gentle way. Tell them “I love you my sweet children, I hope you are having a wonderful day”.
4. At night, fill each bowl with one scoop (1/4 cup) each of dry cat food (no more, no less). If they look at you with needy eyes you can add a little water to their food. Again pet them softly and say “please enjoy your entrée).
These steps are crucial to insuring my felines are at peek performance. If you see a black devil cat tormenting my innocent kittens please put the nasty thing out side or lock it in your closet. My darlings can’t have that kind of stress in their lives; it may result in physiological distress and well as insomnia.
Good luck with this exciting adventure and know that my loving little kitties will let me know if you have mistreated them in any way.
Thank you,
Logan

If any problems arise please feel free to call me at 253-486-7272 or the local fire department.
Side Note:
I really don’t care what the hell you do with them just make sure they have food and water. You can fill all the bowls up if you don’t want to deal with it and just make sure they have water. You know how to do it! Thanks again, I owe you one!
