Few keys feels like few tons, Sergio sucks

For years and years I have been lugging around a collection of keys fitting of a prison guard.  The collection has slowly grown and grown due to my lack of maintenance and regular evaluation of the keys that lived there.  I always had a fear that I could be getting rid of a key that I could possibly still need.

My key collection was annoying.  It was heavy and cumbersome.  When the keys were in my pocket they were always poking me.  When I tossed them on a table or counter it sounded like I was dumping a bucket of metal shrapnel.

I had considered going through my key collection many times, thinking it would be nice to not have such a mess jingling around. However my aforementioned fear of not being able to open some lock somewhere had kept from following through.

Well yesterday I saw a Kickstarter campaign for a key organizer that looked like a Swiss Army knife.  It’s promise is to make key management easy and almost fun.  For whatever reason this was the kick in the ass I finally needed to dig into my own jingling mess.

So I went key by key, trying to recall the last time I used it.  If I had absolutely no recollection it came off the ring.  I was pretty sure the plastic headed keys were for various padlocks.  I haven’t opened a padlock in several years so I felt pretty safe pulling all of them.  Some of the keys I did not recognize but had numbers/codes stamped into them.  I assume that means they are kind of important but I did not know why.  I took them off anyway.

All in all I pulled 10 keys off my key chain, removing over half of what was originally there.  It was amazing how removing a few ounces of keys felt like a ton off my back.  My key collection now feels fresh and hip instead of fat and lazy.  It feels good.

Just in case, all of the removed keys were put on an auxiliary ring and will be stored in a drawer.

Wow Sergio Garcia is really, really stupid. His little spat with Tiger Woods at the players championship evolved into something uglier yesterday.  Some reporter asked Sergio if he planned to have Tiger over for dinner.  He said he would and “We will serve fried chicken.” Sergio went scrambling into damage control shortly afterwards saying he was just joking.

Now I am no fan of the political correctness that in my opinion  has run rampant over society the last couple decades.  I think everyone is too easily offended by everything generally speaking.  However when it comes to a comment like that, even I cringe.  To me, true racism IS offensive and making a fried chicken comment is reflective of that in my opinion.

Sergio is getting blasted for the comment of course.  To me he deserves every bit of venom spit his way.
