I knew I liked him

Paul Riser wrote something over at the Huffington Post.  Not a regular reader over there, but I am liking it more and more everytime I go.

This could be the president?

"I'm ready to step in as president." Um, no your not, lady.

If you can't vote for Obama, vote Ron Paul, not Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

New URL

I've been kicking around the idea of changing the url of the blog to something else for a while now. Problem is, suburbandad.com and .net are both taken. And of course not being used, but can't do anything about that.

Any suggestions?

Turning Japanese

As promised, here are your japanese terms for the day:
arigatou (Ah Ree Gah Toe) - Thank you. (normal)
arigatou gozaimasu (Ah Ree Gah Toe Go Zai Mas) - Thank you. (formal)
douitashimashite (Do Ita She Mahsh De) - You're welcome. (normal)
ohayou (sounds like Ohio) Good morning. (informal)
ohayou gozaimasu (Ohio Go Zai Mas) -Good morning.(normal and formal)
konnichi wa (Koh Nee Chee Wah) - Hello. (normal)
konban wa (Kohn Ba Wah) - Good evening. (normal)
sayonara (Sai Oh Na Rah) - Goodbye. (normal)

The difference between Normal and Formal is really dependant on whom you are speaking to. If a co-worker loans me a pen, it's Arigato. If the CEO loans me a pen, it's obviously more formal adding the Gozaimasu (Go Zai Mas). And if it's the CEO, you'll probably want to bow as well ;)

Ajay, am I getting this right?
