Just cause

2010-03-25T06:50:00.003-05:00

I just sorta felt like blogging this morning.

I would imagine that most people view bankruptcy and losing their house as low point - ground zero; but for me this couldn't be farther from the truth. Not only does it lift a laundry list of burdens off my mind (what projects will Jys force unto me this summer? How do I ever go back to school with this house payment and no internet? This house has some serious issues that I am ill prepared to fix!), but it seems like everything is going better since we started down this path.

I'm getting along smashingly with Jyesika for the most part, everyone grumbles at each other now and then; but it seeeeeems like we are doing good. I've found a new hobby I enjoy and I've been keeping expenses for it relatively low. I continue to make slow and plodding advancement towards Der and I's project. I hope to begin the 'writing' phase of it inside two weeks. Hell I even had my arm examined to find out it is probably just a strained rotator cuff (which I still need to setup PT for).

But best of all is having real hope. I misplaced my ticket when the Obama Hope express drove by, but I've managed to come across my own several months later. I now am filled with all of these plans that honestly don't feel far fetched to me. Having internet. Creating crappy videos with a kick ass dude. Going back to school. Jyesika going back to school. Hell I'm even hopeful that the Australia dream can come true in 3ish years. For the first time since getting married the immediate seems full of possibilities instead of the never ending road of scraping by and spinning our wheels.

On top of all of this we have begun to budget our money and Jyesika has become a Dave Ramsey acolyte. Maybe I am giving myself too much credit, but I don't really think I need to learn to curb my spending as I'm already a ridiculously frugal cat. But it has helped me to think about a lot of other issues with how I handle money, and I think it's done wonders for Jyesika as far as how she views spending. I'm really against the stupid 'cash for everything' that he advocates as I HATE carrying around cash and actually find that I spend cash more freely then credit. And I don't really spend either of these things 'freely' at all. I want to get a big white board to setup in our house somewhere to keep track of monthly spending and all of our various savings plans (cars, vacations, toys, Emergency fund, etc). Hopefully we stay the course and find ourselves in a much happier place financially 2 years from now (I think that is how long it will take us to become debt free with 6months savings).

As I haven't blogged on this since the before time I really doubt a single other human being will end up reading this, but I had some time to kill and just sort of felt like doing it. Plus I plan to pick it back up in the internet wonderland that is still hopefully in my future. I like facebook, but I'm not really a fan of the stupid status update addiction that is 'sweeping the nation'. I don't understand how you can really tell any sort of tale in that space; but to each their own.

As for my immediate future I am looking forward to Spring Time, Interfuse and the new Blood Angels release.

It's been a while

2009-07-06T12:10:00.025-05:00

Well folks it's been quite some time since I last blogged and I don't really want to take the time to type up the ridiculous amount of stuff I've been up to since this was last posted. I'm only going to mention a couple of things that transpired and were fun but I can't find picture evidence of. The first is just the continuation of DnD. I'm still lugging my halfwit, butterfly engaged brother through this Moraden forsaken hell hole of an island, and loving every second of it. I'll soon (hopefully) be kicking off my own campaign again with a bit of a reboot, wish me luck folks! Ohh and if anyone besides John and Mark want in let me know!

We also finally got ourselves outside for a rousing game of paintball. It was like a kiddy version of what I picture Vietnam to have been like (from the movies). Shortly after we headed out it began to rain so the whole jungle (forest/backyard) was alive with the sound of rain, and since we were all more or less in camo it was hard to tell the difference between a leaf being knocked around in the rain, and an enemy combatant(lets pretend we can all a paintballer something that hardcore). It was great fun, and I used very few paintballs which is always nice. On the downside Mark's paintballs became the one nacho of paintballs days after this event... I'm not sure if I told you that yet Mark. But yea yur paintballs got ruined, they were to old for the humidity or something.

The last thing has been going on much more recently and that is FUN IN THE SUN! We have recently (thanks to Schweppes cousin whom I hope to trick into hanging out with us, he seemed like a nice enough chap) began visiting the splendor of the Clinton Lake 'beach'. Admittedly it's no white sanded beach of wonder and merriment, it's basically sand box sand with muddy colored water. But in Kansas you take what you can get and on those hot sunny days it has been a god send. I can't express enough how much I've enjoyed just laying out in the sun on the 'beach' and swimming around with it's sorta waves, mostly caused by boats. Fun, fun, fun. It looks to get HOT and SUNNY by Thursday this week so I fully intend to spend another Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun (one or all of those days) at the beach this weekend as well.

Just so you haters know the above events all went on mostly without the use of alcohol, so FUN can be had without... but you may also notice a lack of pictures... I sense correlation! Also I forgot to make an actually useful link to the 4th of July video's so here is a lazy man link!

http://www.youtube.com/user/damonish

Without further ado, pictures and a short blurb to give them context!

This would be myself and Jones lazing around at interfuse, while this is not in the least a representative picture of the event (where is the mud?!?) I wanted some picture up of it happening.

My gym at work, Not really a happening, but if anyone has been curious where I do my beefing, this be the place.

An actual recent event! I just liked this picture of myself from the canoe trip we went on. (yes the same canoe trip where my wedding ring got tired of my shenanigans). Don't I look fantastically hillbilly-rific?

This is a generic group shot from the canoe trip. The current level of hat disintegration tells me this must be around halfway through the trip.

I spent alot of time rocking a Gondola like pose. I especially like this picture because it sorta looks like I'm canoeing in Julie's Canoe... Uhh ohh tony. I'm in yur base, stealing yur girlz!

the Rivah! Plus Pichu(I put bicho there for a second...hmm something Freudian to be learned from that) backside!

And now you can tell that we are near the end of the trip for the hat has nearly finished it's metamorphosis into a useless hunk of goo.

Pichu through a 'pajama party' for her 21st birthday party (surely we are done with these NOW right???that's right I'm looking at you Harry!). It quickly became the least Hetero thing I've ever done; and yes, that includes that night of passion and magic mr. Jones.

A monument to consumerism with a backwoods flavor or the beginning of a bonfire? You decide! (from the 4th 'o' July)

Admit idly you can't look classy drinking out of the wonder snake no matter how you do it, but I think you can probably do better then I did.

Olay, Olay Olay OLAAAY!

Somehow our hot tub deck has become this hang out space that I choose to dub 'Danger Deck'. Sure you can see a perfectly usable deck with safety rails above in the picture; but does it come equipped with Hookah attachments? I think not!

A preview of the 80's glory still to come!

The beginnings of a dubious plan to try (and party succeed) to hurt one another

This picture is quiet simply an Ode to Joy

I hope you've enjoyed looking at pictures you have already seen and quiet recently at that... bugger off!

Ohh, and just so I can have this memory for later... That had to of been the weirdest, lamest, strangest NBA draft and subsequent beginnings of free agency I can remember.

Pain Train Cometh

2009-06-09T07:58:00.005-05:00

This past week was one of the more PAINFUL weeks I've experienced for quite some time. If my memory serves it all began on Tuesday. I don't know exactly what I did to my neck/back that day, but I think it happened in the gym while doing shoulder exercises. At any rate by 8:00pm or so that night I had a horrible crank in the neck and had a difficult time sleeping comfortably that night. The next morning I took some Ibuprofen and felt pretty good by about halfway through the day. By then end of that evening I didn't even remember having neck pains and I went to the gym like usual.

I got into maybe the third or so rep on my very first bicep exercise and felt and heard a 'pop' in my neck/shoulders; and everything suddenly became very TIGHT. I set the weights down and tried to relax my neck and stretch it out. I then tried to continue with the work out but couldn't make myself do it through the pain. The rest of that night and most of the next morning were spent in alot of pain, everyone at work was calling me lurch since I would turn my entire body to look in different directions. We got off work early that day and by 3:00 I was feeling alot better (albiet with ALOT of pain killers) and I went ahead and picked up the cement bags from Home Depot for the chicken coop project.

Later that night we rocked out on some DnD, this was as fun as it always is. I'm retarded proud of John and the rest of us for keeping this going, I really need to get a working computer again (Harry) so I can get caught up on Dwarf Fortress and my own DnD campaign. NBA basketball is slowing down so I should have time for these projects now. Anyway I ended up asleep on their couch until like 3:00AM, I'm not real sure how I got there, but I guess I was very sleepy.

Friday morning I woke up with the usual neck pain (only much less terrible then the days before) and took a fist full of ibuprofen to battle that as I do every morning (and continue to do). After waiting an hour or so for that to kick in I started on the cement post pouring project. This went mostly smooth considering I was alone and had some really irritating bumble bee's hanging out. The posts came out looking a little sloppy at the base since I was trying to get maximum height there was some spill out plus I started the posts really high up. But other then fighting with that I don't really remember anything out of the ordinary but yet when I came inside I found I had a new friend in my right boot sock. Welcome to earth my dear friend FRANKEN-TOE! (at this point I would startle you with a horrifying picture, but as I don't have a new phone yet, no picture)

I'm not sure what happened out in that backyard but somehow I managed to break (I think) my pinkie toe and when I took my boot + sock off it was a purple and bruised, swollen, hellish sight. I've been self medicating with either Ibuprofen or alcohol more or less nonstop since that happened. But luckily it's just a useless little toe so I don't have to do anything special besides wait for it to stop hurting, and when I get to be shoeless or rock sandals it doesn't really hurt much at all. Friday evening was spent hanging out with various miscreants, mostly John and the lovely miss Jyesika. Eventually we saw KT for like an hour, went to a bar, and then immediately after paying a $3 each cover was informed it was time to go home by the previously mentioned lovely lady.

Now we come to Saturday and an event that will live on in song and story for many years to come... Michael 'The Day sleeper' Harry actually showed up to my house at 10:20AM, you read that right, it said AM! for a trip out to Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun. I was completely un prepared for his quick arrival, we still got out the door by 10:35ish, but I was flabbergasted to say the least. I think Jess actually gets about 99.9999% of the credit for an awake an on time Mike, but impressive all the same. We then headed out to Wof/OoF wonderland. We shared some alc beverages in the parking lot, rode a couple rides, ate some grub then headed to Oceans of Fun.

I ran into a few coworkers I actually enjoy running into and I got a chance to see Sam, which is always nice. I'm not sure why I was forced to walk people over to Oceans of fun in more or less a forced march because in my opinion Oceans of Fun is hands down a better time then WoF. The lines are shorter and more fun to stand around in since yur wet and have water all over the place. Plus most of what you do there doesn't even have lines (wave pool, lazy river, adult area, kid land!). And the single funnest thing to do in ether park exists in OoF, the fantastically fun Lilly Pads! Mark and I were forced to watch Mike cheat his way across and MrDer walk across it like he's walking to get the mail. Mark, John myself and the rest of the gang gave it all it wanted though, we slowly, horribly made our way maaaybe halfway before crashing into pits of laughing joy. There is just nothing more fun then the 'make your own fun' type of situations. I also did the usual fight for your life swim in the wave pool. Much water was swallowed.

WoF was it's usual self, which is good cause I'm not knocking it by saying OoF is better, I like them both. The new ride is pretty great, it's a wooden coaster but as it's brand new the ride is a billion times smoother then old Timberwolf. And I felt like it was a pretty long coaster ride. The other wooden coaster is one haggard mess of a ride. We all took a trip down the pain train and came out bruised as though we talked back to our husbands. The best ride at the park is still Patriot and I rode it at least twice, maybe I even rode it three times, it's fan-fuggin-tastic. We eventually left WoF around 10:30 and decided to cancel paintball for the next day as we were all pretty worn to a nub; plus I had the toe to consider.

Sunday was spent at Home depot and working on a bathroom project at home. Jessica did probably 75% of the work on that, I helped for a while, got irritated and watched the NBA finals. Pretty lame Sunday but it was good for recuperation. Work this week has been AWFUL. My toe kills me all day in these boots and on this cement pavement. On top of that I seem to be coming down with some kind of cold/flu. But I'm hopeful this will all get cleared up before the float trip I go on this weekend.

In non Bob only news, my sister Mindy had her baby yesterday! I've got a brand new nephew "Jeffery Lee Hickey". Planing on seeing him tonight. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll feel better. Jessica's garden has been going really well, I'm super proud of her. She's done almost all of it all on her own, I only really help when it comes to hauling stuff around and not being mad at her for throwing whatever money is needed at it. Hmm, totally not going to proof read any of this. Welp there are other things going on like my computer getting windows 7, Dwarf Fortress needing played, etc. But I'm tired of typing, so...

Cram it in my Cram hole

2009-06-03T08:09:00.016-05:00

Last weekend was the first 'breather' weekend I've had for a while, and probably the last one I'll have for a while after. It wasn't even a breather weekend on purpose we just happened to ignore the times in which the paintball store would be open and failed to rock some paintball, alas. Hopefully that is remedied this weekend, but there are no real plans yet. The fun I do have coming up this weekend for sure are some more tasty DnD and a hopefully super fun trip to Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun via a Ride'n'Slide ticket. My work was especially cool and is including a free meal and free 'all day' fountain drinks. Hopefully it goes swimmingly, I'll update on that next week. The week after that is our Float Trip, should be drunken debauchery at it's finest. And the week after that has our throwback 80's party! Which still only has 9 people signed up to attend, chumon you useless gits; TUBULAR TIMES AWAIT YOU! Call yur buds!

Now on to the recent past, I can't really remember what went down through the week any longer until Thursday rolled around. I imagine it involved reading the Internets, salivating over this or that and watching TV. But Thursday kicked it up a notch in the form of DnD fun once again. I'm completely flabbergasted and impressed with how often Drama has managed to consecutively host our game, he deserves a standing O just for throwing down for this long, and they have been very fun games. I think he is definitely assisted by the ease of 4th ed opposed to 3.5; but it's still an achievement. As a double bonus to this week ORION of Legend and Lore was in town so he played with us and then hit Mass street along side our merry gang.

I know we went to the Lion, and I think we played some darts, beyond that I can't think of anything else we did. On the walk there, at the bar and on the walk back Orion and I decided it was a good idea to randomly punch each other. It wasn't bad that night and I wasn't sore the next morning but my gawd did it every make my ab work outs a painful affair that next day.

Friday as you can see below was ZOMBIE NIGHT!

It's a blurry Bob! there was a picture I liked more but I think it must have been taken on Mark's phone because I haven't seen it online and he is a lazy useless bugger.

Behold, the shaming of the Schwumps!

This night started off in a most foul manner. We only had about half the ingredients for the 'zombie' rum based beverage we enjoy on zombie nights so we decided to sort of 'wing' the rest. We ended up with Captain Morgan Spiced Silver rather then something more along the lines of a Bacardi Silver, but that wasn't the most shameful change. In the name of saving wallet greens MrDer decided to skimp on the Grenadine and Lime juice and instead bought this cheap garbage that was basically comprised of High Fructose Corn Syrup and fail. They were really really awful, I don't think any of us managed to choke down more then one mug full, I moved on to the tried and true Long Island Iced Tea (and a damned huge one at that).

As for the zombie watching portion of the night we took in Ded Sno (Norwegian I think?). It was pretty excellent, it started off really slow, but when Zack Morris starting turning on the awesome it didn't turn off again. This movie had a couple iconic moments for me in no particular order..
1.) For the first time ever I saw a human bite a zombie in defense before he got bitten.
2.) it gave me the phrase "slammin 2's" Used in a sentence "Damn that honey has a top notch Ace, hopefully I'll be slammin 2's tonight!"
3.)A sex scene to rival my ever popular 'screwin in duh mud' from Enemy at the gates. Anyways this one involved an outhouse, a fat loser and a woman with a heart of gold.

The second zombie movie was much much much less impressive. It goes by the name of Black Sheep and it's a movie about zombie sheep. Don't be confused by what I just told you, it truly is as terrible as it sounds. Mike was in some sort of BJ soaked miasma and somehow thought it was a fine film to watch. As you can see above I came dressed to the nines. You can't see it in the picture but I was rocking some really stellar (IMO) shredded jeans, I thankfully didn't throw up anywhere to close out the night so this outfit can make a repeat performance! Everyone else eventually got zombied up and we headed out to town... but first!

Poor poor schwumps went and fell asleep a little to early in the night. We were kind hearted at first and tucked him in with Pichu's lil pink blanket and even helped him kick off his shoes. But then the degenerate in all of us kicked in and I came up with the plan of 'lets pile stuff on him!' We then proceded to follow through with this brilliant stratagem. All in all he had like 6 chairs and various other random 'stuff' we then left him to disaster. Ohh I forgot to mention before, apparently lame ass bingo ink makes for fine blood in a pinch.

The time we spent on Mass were used chasing cars (and laughing as they would drive on the other side of the road to avoid our zombie dirg!), Chasing people and biting a fair amount of them, doing what I could to get us in a fight with anyone that was asking for it, and laughing at protective boyfriend and his insertion between himself and our group. On the waltz home we accidentally (obviously) found ourselves on the pool side of the fence protecting said pool. Mike went a took a clothing optional dip into the pool but immediately gave me a report of its chilling touch, I cheesed it back over the fence, that I had mysteriously ended up on the wrong side of, with a quickness. Somehow I got covered in thorns on the down stroke. Upon returned home we found that not only was schwumps still covered in excitement but that he was in fact actually cuddling with one of the chairs while he slept. Drama had a senior moment and turned the light on before he even had his camera retrieved so we weren't able to get a picture, but it was funny; let me assure you of that.

The next day was burnt up at an all day belated mothers day extravaganza in Garnet with J Paul and the fam. The food was RIDICULOUS tasty, I couldn't stop eating. I'm pretty sure I didn't' eat another thing that day and still went to bed full. It was a good time filled with porch sitting and discussions of 'stuff'. Sunday was supposed to be either paintball day or cement post day. It ended up being a gardening day. It was mostly relaxing and nice. It was pretty spectacular to have a low key Sat/Sun after the previous weeks and before the upcoming schedule.

Denver ended up failing me, so now Hamids prediction of Lakers Magic! is actually coming true. I'm a true believer of Orlando though, so I believe that they have a real shot at putting down the Lakers. I think their 6th man all star will do a pretty solid job of slowing down Kobe Bryant. Or at least as well as you can expect him to be able to. I look forward to that series starting up on umm Thursday I think.

Abde Abde abde, that's all folks.

Blogasm

2009-05-26T06:38:00.019-05:00

I've neglected my blog for way-way-way to long, so this post is going to be a doozy I'm afraid. I'll try not to waste too much time with cutesy writing, but I make no promises.

My brain is pretty horrible about figuring out what events occured in what order after a week has passed, but I'll attempt to chronicle in order. We'll start with my birfday.

I think it's a good thing that I don't give a rats about birfdays cause this one was literally unmemorable. The unmemorable glory of my birfday started with my loving wife forgetting that it was my birfday and wondering why it is that my brother would be calling me in the morning and causing me to give him thanks. Following this was the usual hectic hell that comes right before leaving for a trip. This years trip to interfuse was pretty lazy in that I easily got all of our stuff ready to go while waiting on Mike's eventual wake-up from eternal slumber. We then piled junk into the truck and trailer and headed for Boonville to celebrate obesity in the wilds of Mizzou.

The drive out was easy breazy until we arrived to find someone had replaced the 'roads' you drive around the campsite on with diarrhea. This had the same disheartening effect on my wife as being the victim of first blood holds for Drama. Meaning that she was ready to fold faster then the French. I was originally rather pissed as I had sandals on and the slog to our campsite carrying only about 1/15th of our stuff took me a good 20 minutes. Then I realized I could simply take my shoes off and do the backwoods moonwalk all over that muck. While this was a GREAT idea for the duration of Thursday the HUGE thorn I removed from my foot a week later begs to differ as to it being a swell idea over all. Mike and I then decided to raise our spirits and tossed down alcohol at what I can only assume is a similar rate to what the ruskies would use before charging out of a foxhole. During this period we met a fantastic man who shared with us his 100 proof and delicious hot damn! We also managed to get the 1 yes : 50 no ratio we felt was good enuf and drove our happy truck down diarrhea boulevard. It was really fun but left us with a nagging fear for the rest of the week that much like Iraq we had a dismal exit strategy.

We then began to setup camp which required the making of hooch (1 part vodka, 1 part water, 1 part shame, 1 part dignity, mixer). this might have raised my spirits a little to high as I aparently angered 'camp vagina' (their real name) by mistakenly yelling at them when I was attempting to yell at some other fools instead. Mike and I then celebrated the raising of the dome and the application of the parachute with more drinking. My memory after this is basically: glug, stumble, stumble, SHIBLEE! (how was that spelled? a wine jug from awesome people basically), stumble, darkness..... uhhhhg, cold... stumble...zzzzz. This is why the rest of my birthday is unmemorable. From what I've been told Mike and I got so destroyed that I spent the night passed out under the stars on a patch of grass and Mike spent the night half out of his tent puking out the entrance. Pretty superb start to the trip, but it left few memories in its wake. Ohh and we apparently forgot to tie down the parachute as it was mostly on the ground the next morning, oops!

The next morning I awoke to a cold and dreary day. This day continued to be cold and dreary and was only highlighted by the arrival of Mark and Jess. I spent the rest of the day bitching about the cold and casually drinking. The next day was really nice out and I had a great day filled with trampolines and frizbee. Unfortunately we ran out of alcholo (I know, the SHAME!) so I was more or less lame that evening. But the 'burn' at the end of interfuse this year was AWESOME. It had everything you could want, huge fireworks display, mind numbingly loud explosions and enuf backwoods engineers to cause a couple of fireworks to shoot into the crowd. Overall I give interfuse this year a C. Ohh and we did escape the Muck pretty damn well!

I'm sure 'something' happened the weekend between interfuse and crankstastic weekend o fun and excitement, but I can't think of what it was. I think I played some Tennis maybe... Or perhaps that is when I saw Startrek, I'm really not certain... anywho! The next weekend in my memory started with a really drunken night of DnD in which we offered up John's lady friend Pichu as a sexual subway token. It met with limited success which is probably more then we could hope for. After the game John/Mark/myself went out to bars where we met up with Tripp, his lady and Scott. What I remember of this was a great time. I know straight vodka shots were bought for me and I know I played some pool. I have some random memory of a redhead and I think they were out of popcorn... Ohh and we played the nudity vidjeo game a bunch. It was a really solid night, I think I got home around 3:00, no complaints!

This was followed up by us getting CRANKED on a Friday night. This probably requires more explanation. We missed out on Crank 2 in theatre's and decided to have a Crank themed drinking and debauchery night much as we do on our zombie nights. On zombie nights we drink zombies (a rum heavy drink that is really good and incites the rape of 14 yr olds); but this night we needed something in keeping with the theme. If you have ever seen Crank or Crank 2 ( I suggest watching them both, in no particular order) you know it is basically adrenaline insanity for 2ish hours. To meet this demand we rocked Jagger bombs, Monster-vodka's and SPARKS. Suffice to say we were JACKED. On zombie night we usually eat some kind of meat on bone (duh) and so tonight we wanted something that was a full meal and could also be devoured in short order; thus the invention of Blendaco's! (patent pending)

Blendaco is basically all the tasty you want in a taco only put into a blender until it looks like cat food, yum! It consisted of a couple lbs of beef, a TON of Baja sauce, 4 tomatoes, a bag of cheese, a half bag of Frito's, jalapenos, and Spice. We ended up eating it with Frito scoops and it was surprisingly really tasty; I blame the baja sauce for this strange delicious result. After Crank 2 we watched Riki-Oh: The story of Ricky. This is an old Japanese film that is responsible for half of the really ridiculous fight scenes floating around on the Internet (old boy covers the other 50 percent, heh); it lived up to its reputation nicely. We followed that up with Kung Fu Hustle, a solidly good time. We then manged to get Pichu to drive Mark and myself to mass street for some fun having. We played darts and had much laughter. After returning to Marks I found out why Pichu was difficult to coax a drive out of. I had apparently insulted her earlier in the night (a frequent side-effect of Bobamine) but we made friends later I hope. I got home around 5:00 that night, I needed to sober up and I had a TON of energy drink wrecking havoc on my body.

The next night was the Bone's is GTFO of Kansas party. She threw a party for herself and her gaggle-o-hotness. It didn't have the legendarily huge turnout we were hopping for, but it was a pretty fun night. I hope I didn't piss anyone off to much, but I didn't get that drunk so I don't think I caused to much ruckus. Unfortunately this night had some kind of Brunk (a drunk Brawl) gone wild. Mike/John/Mark tried to get me into a shed, I thought this was less then a good idea. wrastlin' ensued. The net of this is a hairline fracture in Marks elbow and another twist for Drama's skankles. Mike and I managed to escape with only sore necks, hurray! Btw thanks for the party Angelumps!

This weekend actually topped the days I spent drunk from 3 to 4, but I wasn't AS hammered on most of them. Thursday night was a repeat of Drunken DnD. Only this night we rocked out on that so long we couldn't even make it to bars and I was so tired from my week at work I was literally falling asleep at the table before we finished. It was great fun as always though, Drama is one amusing DM with his 'easy' fights that get us all killed, haha. Friday I spent the day seeing a really really long showing of Angels and Demons, it was about 5 hours long. Supposedly some kind of Terminator movie went on during this period but the last Terminator movie I'll ever swear to seeing was T2, the rest is all lies! To blackout the memory of whatever happened at AMC 30 that day I spent the rest of the evening enjoying Margaritas and Long Islands. MrDer and I went to the bars later that night were we got to watch a friend of Gela's and her bro have an uncomfortable moment together. I was hoping for a drama explosion to come forth, but was denied. Saturday was basically just Mark, Jys and myself drinking all day long and playing vidgeo games. Pretty lame, but enjoyable all the same. Everyone else was out of town so that is how we rolled.

Sunday I spent all day cleaning house and fixing various things. I made my tool closet even more spectacular, basically because I had to as I've got a new 12in Single Bevil chop saw in the mail! jessica spent the day cleaning the out-of-doors and indoors as well. That night we hosted a small bbq + bonfire, we had about 8-10 friends come out for it. The weather ended up being very nice and we had a fun night. I chased the rainbow a couple of times, got in a fine amount of hookah on our deck and we even broke out some glow and danced. I wish this would stop happening at EVERY party I throw as it will eventually lose its luster, but I can't very well stop the drunks from breaking them out, haha. And it's always been a good time (so far). Oh and I saw Ben's new motor cycle. I bet all of us got extra attention from our significant others that evening due to residual Ben manliness. Yesterday was basically just recuperating and watching a couple of the NBA games I had recorded but remained unwatched. I finally saw Annie Hall the 'famous' Woody Allen movie. I liked it about as much as I thought I would.

Other then that about all I've been up to is watching a ton of basketball, and that is all I'll probably be up to this week. Oh, and I remembered that part of that empty time in my memory was probably the making of the short term chicken coop. The chickens are much more enjoyable now that they are outside. And they make Jessica happy enough to deal with how much they sometimes will irritate me to think about. I dug some post holes for the new coop but Home Depot was out of concrete posting tubes so I couldn't lay down the concrete yet. I hope to do that tomorrow if it's dry enough and home Depot has the molds in stock, if not then maybe on Friday/Saturday.

When writing a huge post like this it sure makes me hope I can find the right phone soon. It would be nice to have pictures to go along with this post, but my current phone takes really horrible pictures and the bugger doesn't really work right now anyway. Anywho if you actually read that long and poorly written post I salute you! Feel free to post comments, they are always appreciated.

Happy 54 Day!

2009-05-04T12:50:00.002-05:00

I've got alot to write on. My mediocre birthday celebrating, my trip to Boonville to have my spirit left out to die, broken, repaired, and enlightened with light. But I've done enough not work for today, so I'll write a good and proper post on my shenanigans later. I just wanted to wish my 1-2 readers a Happy 54 day!

Trippin out

2009-04-29T12:00:00.003-05:00

I've been so busy the last couple of weeks and it is no different today. plus I am ridiculous tired today. We switched to the new 5AM start time this week, and it just happens to be the same week that I need to do all of my vacation prep work. As such I've gotten maybe 5 hours of sleep each night this week, so I am pretty burned out.

All of that being said I've had a really good couple of weeks. The NBA playoffs are all over TV right now so I've gotten in ample basketball watching, and for the most part the playoffs are proceeding how I would like (so far). I managed to play a little flag football before the tornadic weather rolled through which is quasi exercise and lots of fun. The rest of the week was mostly about chilling, but it was all relaxing and enjoyable.

The real glory is hopefully coming this weekend when I plan to spend a week mostly drunk at Interfuse, this year will be TOTALLY different from last year. Although last year was a little cold the weather was mostly nice out, this year its basically rain 80% of the time we are going to be there, should be wet, sloppy and fun!

I'll toss up a big post interfuse post, Everyone have a great weekend.

Get down with the Sickness

2009-04-20T06:28:00.002-05:00

I've been busy at work lately or not on the computer, so I haven't had a chance to blog in a little while, and this will have to be a short update as well.

I also haven't been able to throw up any updates from home because I got slam danced by a virus. Conflickr came through and wrecked some house on both of our home computers and I've spent most of my free time jacking around with that. Mike has also been most helpful in getting this resolved. The laptop is finally up and running again and I hope to get my home PC all shored up tonight so I can get back to dorfy mischief.

The rents came out on Wednesday which was grand fun until I attempted to copy a wedding DVD they needed duped. That is when I found out the laptop was infected and was merrily infecting my PC over the network. This obviously frustrated me and put me in a sour mood for the remainder of their trip out, hopefully they still had a good time. The Brady monster came out as well and had a good old time holding baby chicks. Although I can hardly say baby anymore, they are like 10yr olds or something already, they grow ridic fast.

The only other shenanigans I got up to this past week was to enjoy a fantastic (and possibly final) party at Angelumps. They hosted a BBQ out at their pad that around 10-12 of us attended. We ate yummy not good for us food, played football, drank drinks, yelled at fatties, fantasised about Ben Farmer, discussed breast men, and in all that excitement John somehow avoided a broken ankle! The reason it may be the last hurrah for their house is that they had a single mom and her three mistakes move in downstairs, blech! I think Der needs to plant asbestos everywhere and get them the heck on out of there. Their backyard is a great spring/summer time hangout spot for all of us in Lawrence, better then anyone else's pad for sure. Ohh wells, maybe if my parents actually get that lawn mower out to my house we can keep our yard in good enough condition to have it be usable for similar events; we shall see.

I apologize for the mostly boring post, not giving it much effort this morning. Off to do some work, BAI!

Dorfs Dorfs Dorfs Dorfs

2009-04-09T07:17:00.025-05:00

<- Cute Dorfs!

Way more accuratly depicted Dorfs! - -->

OMG, get the shorties out of my brain! I seriously must have greatly underestimated my wife's tolerance level because she has been absolutely great to me the last few days. My brain has been completely devoured by Dwarf Fortress. It's all I want to do, and its basically all I've been doing. She has taken it all in stride and hasn't complained one bit. I've tried to watch a little TV with her and such, but really I'm wholly consumed by my next batch of migrants in my head. Although there may be some other factors in her above and beyond kindness which I will get into later.

Anyway, a little bit about Dwarf Fortress. Its an ASCII based game (we play a graphically enhanced 'mod' of the game that looks like the picture at the top right) that is part RPG, part Sim City and part the Sims. Its without a doubt the most complex and deep game I have ever played, bar none. I've played it for about a week and I've barely scratched the surface, and I've not mastered a single aspect of the game, besides the 'laugh your ass off' step.

Anyway, this addiction all began thanks to the most hilarious thing I've ever found on the interweb. Behold BOATMURDERED! (at this point I was going to post a link, but they are all blocked here at work, so look it up yourself ya lazy slabs!). Its a 'succession' game blog about the fortress of boatmurdered (the games randomly generated fortress name). Basically several people each ran the fort for one full game year, saved it, and passed it on to the next bloke. They took screen shots and wrote about their adventures at the helm. If you find that blog to be boring, stupid or uninteresting please unfriend me on facebook, disown me from your family and erase my phone number from your contact lists. John, Mike and myself being inspired by that brilliance decided to begin our own escapades in succession DF gaming. I took my turn at the helm a couple of nights ago . I then made about every mistake I could make, but ohh well! It was good fun all the same.

Despite the insane amount of DF being played there have been other happenings at my home stead. Late Monday night I awoke to a a grumbling coming from my basement. I stupidly decided to do some 'investigative reporting' only to find a MUMMY trapped in my basement. He'd got his foot caught in the muck hole/drainage pipe in the basement. I laughed at his misfortunes and that ended up being a mistake. He yelled 'CHHHUUUURRRZZZ' at me, which is apparently drunk mummy for 'curse' and then started talking about the '16 bringers of stink and noise, who would ensorcel my wife to do their bidding'. At this point I assumed this was all a dream and so I helped the Mummy unhook his foot and sent him on his way. He left grumbling something about heading over to watch scrambled porn with Carl.

The next morning the truth in his words became true at about 9Am...

BEHOLD THE FEARSOME BRINGER OF STINK AND NOISE!

Jessica immediately became mesmerized by their maddening peeps and terrifying 'clump tactics'. I remain ever vigilant against their evil ways, and am learning the cat up to be my Holy Champion against the darkness. Wish me luck, I'll need it!

In all seriousness I think my tolerance of said chickens and willingness to help has earned me some DF leeway from the wife. Even if that is not the reason why, I'm thankful to her all the same. I also endeared myself to her yesterday by helping my Dad till or whatever her garden. It was more work then I thought it would be, but it was a wonderful day, and it wasn't really that much work. Plus it was good as always to see David, I haven't seen them much lately. And he had a GREAT idea for the water problem in our front yard. Whenever we actually start on that project I'll unveil the details of his mad genius.

Other than that life has been pretty pedestrian. Went to a birthday bash for my Dad at my parents over the weekend and picked up some lumber from my other Dad. The lumber came from this terrifyingly huge play structure he had in the backyard. If I still have a picture of it on this computer I'll toss it onto the end of the post. Which reminds me I need volunteers to help me get this hilarious 'bouncy bridge' (to the right on the picture) from my Dad's. It seems as though it would be great fun when drunk. I plan to pick that up in the next week or two.

I'm also vaguely aware there was a championship game Monday night, but my hatred for UNC forced me to mostly ignore this happening. I hear tell that they trounced, may they all get herpes! Almost time for break here in work land, until next time...

The Play Structure

I almost forgot, when looking for pictures of Dwarf Fortress I came across this hilarious weather foretelling device!

Ante Up!

2009-04-01T06:51:00.022-05:00

Is it just me or could his tie just as easily be a terrifying pink erect penis?

I wanted to make sure I hooked everyone/My Mum up with my birthday list requests. This list is being updated constantly and much of it is largely just a reminder to myself of things that I want 'someday'. I'm also not sure if I've yet made it so that it will tell the buyers but not myself that someone purchased something from the list; I'll jack with that when I have time.

STUFF, GIMME, I NEEDZ IT!

www.wishlist.com/808list

To any interested parties Jessica ended up having an 'emergency' root canal. It seemed to help her out immediately. Even after having surgery that day she was in high spirits that evening and in little to no pain. The downside of this is that although the root canal was completely covered by insurance her 'cap' is only going to be covered 50% leaving us on the hook for $400+ :( But Like I told Jys, I'd rather have the house taken from us then ignore health issues (not that this will cause us to lose the house, least I should hope not, haha).

My baby chicken Armageddon clock is sitting right around 1 week now, as my dread increases Jessica's joy increases at an equal or possibly even faster rate; it boggles the mind! Last night she was reading a pamphlet like printout about keeping baby chicks alive, you apparently have to feed them water at like 98 degree's or they get to cold and die. Effin pansies can't even drink some H2O without nearly dying; I give our cat pretty high odds of giving them all fear induced heart attacks.

I finally started learning to play DWARF FORTRESS! Its about the most complex 'homework' like game I've ever played, despite the difficulty I had the time of my life last night stumbling through its ASCII graphics. The best part might be the tutorial you read while trying to learn to play the game, Jessica probably thought I snuck some nitrous oxide. The reason I am learning to play it is because Mike, John and myself will be taking a fortress through 6 years of development. 2 years by each of us, started by Mikes 2 year reign as overlord. We will keep screenshots and a written diary of our exploits, hopefully it makes for an entertaining read. If we enjoy it enough we plan on doing further games. I'm retarded excited! (suck that disabled!)

We finally bought our Interfuse tickets yesterday; I stress 'finally' because apparently we had to buy them by the 6th, so hurray for getting them in time. I had the time of my life at this weekend of drunken debauchery last year, and I look forward to it like a child molester looks forward to a power outage in the mall. Mike w/ some amount of pathetic help from my own personage hopes to make some kind of fire cannon device in time for the event, but the time draws Nigh! (hmm that made me think of the Knights who say NII!)

As for actual life updates I spent a weekend doing very very little, and it was GREAT! The fact that KU lost was painful and sad; but its amazing what lowered expectations can do for you. If that had happened last year I'd still be on a suicide watch. But as it is I look back on that night with fond memories because I had a great time sitting next to John, Mike, Gary, and Dopple at Jefferson's soaking up the atmosphere (and the liquor). Ohh, and there were some ladies at the table as well apparently... The rest of the weekend involved a stupefying amount of movie watching... In closing are my remembered remembrances of movies watched.

Religulous - I truly enjoyed this movie, the coolest part I thought was when the parallels were drawn between the various religious fairy tales. AKA virgin Mary, Resurrection and other popular godly fairy tales.

King of Kong, a Fistful of quarters - Never in my life have I hated nerds so whole heartedly. You don't hate all of them, but the super nerds are such DOOOSH BOMBS! I completely recommend this documentary though.

Sicko - Never have I wanted to be a Canadian more then after watching this movie. Even more then when I knew there was an imagined prospect of having a Zamboni driving, drug dealing, topless neighbor. Plus OMG even the dirty french are superior to us in health care, damn it all! Give me socialized medicine for the love of health!

Twilight - I'm not sure what kind of enjoyment you are 'supposed' to get out of this movie, but I enjoyed it. I found it to be totally hilarious, the only way I can think of to describe the faces the vamps (mainly the lead) make in this movie is the following: Imagine you are coming to 'fruition', taking a crap and practicing being a stoic English guard - that roughly sums it up. The actual 'plot' seems semi interesting though, and I got alot of back story from the wife.

The Savages - Phillip Seymour Hoffman once again making an indie movie and knocking it out of the park. His co lead Laura Linney may have even out shined him. I'm not sure Jessica enjoyed the movie much, but I love it. It reminded me a small bit of Sideways in its pacing. It didn't bring the funny as HARD as Sideways does, but it did bring it in the same timely fashion as Sideways. I also recommend this, but only if you enjoy flat-indie-humor.

And in closing....

HAPPY APRIL JOHNS DAY! (BADUM CHING!)

Clipped wings, Triple dubs and Creamy faces! (oh my!)

2009-03-23T08:08:00.034-05:00

Its been a long long while since I last threw up a post. The reason for this is two fold, the first is that I apparently manged to use up my 5 gig limit via an Edge connection, no clue how I managed that. Because of this I have no Internets at home right now. Secondly although I've had time to post at work, I've spent it doing 'research' meaning I've spent it reading about the Iphone and various MP3 devices.

I'll attempt to remember the last 3 or so weeks in chrono order, I know the first hunk of joy I experienced came in the form of Angela's Birfday Bash.

stupid side note. Even after updating my blog the only way I am able to move this around in the text is to actually edit the HTML, pretty durn stupid! also girl in middle is the Legendary Seedorficus Hauticus enacting her haut barrier, not even the tricky DJ 'doosh face' was able to crack the shield.

It was as fun as advertised. Although I've come to the conclusion that you can't eat anywhere on mass street for your birthday unless you're a big fan of horrendous service. I think we sat around waiting to pay for a full 45 minutes until someone saw fit to deliver a bill. Then it was another 15 minutes until someone felt like picking the bill back up. This led to us being an hour late to the Sauna, er I mean Karaoke room. Imagine all the comfort of a clown car, all the heat of the LWO and all the awkward of an enkai and you can picture this karaoke room. I think we were only there for an hour and split out. It should be noted that between the karaoke club and the 'bar' (put in quotes because Brothers is more of a dooshbag watering hole then a bar) Ang had a wardrobe change, it was classic Ang.

Anyway, the bar was a really fun time. Two stories in particular stand out in my memory. The first is the story behind that picture. More or less since I've known Ang she's fed us sweet nothings on the unbelievable force of beauty known as Kelly Seedorf. She has been described as having an advanced 'haut guy' barrier that re-diverts the likes of us to wing-women and beer-goggle-morning-mistakes. We were lead to believe her Chesticular pressence would have us JIMPing at first sight; this however was not the case. Kelly is certainly an attractive lass, but there are only a handful of women on the planet that could have lived up the legend. My second favorite happening was the owning via awkward of Mr. Popped collar. While Jones/MrDer/myself were dancing w/ Ang/(Traveling circus of hot chicks) some hilarious supreme doosh came grinding into the group. I figured the easiest and funniest away to send him on his merry was to return the grinding favor. His tiny D-bag brain was unable to cope with the situation and he fled as fast as he could, I chuckled for a great while afterwards.

A few scant weeks after the travesty of Ginovese (the restaurant on mass we attended for the Ang bashtacular) we finally found a restaurant that IS awesome for birfday parties! All hail Casa Agave! Casa Agave is a new mexican't restaurant that opened rather close to where I live, it has affordable meals and is most tasty (IMO). However its birthday wishes are what truly make it great. The ridiculous fun begins with 4 of our 10 member group ordering margarita's of ridiculous size. I believe they are called 'monsters'; they are 27 oz margarita's in a giant marg glass, very silly looking! Anyway we inform the waiter that its Mike's birthday and before long a grouping of probably 8 spanish/mexican men come forth to serenade Michael. And a waitress brings him out a GIANT fried ice cream platter, with TONS of whip cream. She then proceeds to stand around awkwardly for the duration of the singing. The singing to me sounded like a group of Mexicans singing an Italian love song in Spanish; but I'm told it was just some Spanish birthday wishes song. They then follow this up with an American happy birthday (with us singing along of course).

Then the reason for the waitress to be lingering is finally made clear when she begins to spoon feed Mike the fried ice cream. This led to a sneak attack that I never would have seen coming! On the fourth or so spooning of whip cream into his mouth she neatly, efficiently and purposefully whipped an entire spoon of whip cream all over his face. Photo ops, laughter at our table, laughter by random strangers, smiles, joy, cures for cancer. It was an excellent birthday meal to say the least.

In much sadder news, that same week Jessica suffered from a cruel attack of GINGIVITIS!

She is on some fun pain meds and antibiotics now, and it appears to be helping alot, but she is going to have a follow-up exam by a specialist this Wednesday. If you somehow still believe there is a god send her your prayers, otherwise just send her luck bolts! Ohh and she doesn't actually have GINGIVITIS! I just needed an excuse to put up a cartoon monster. Its some kind of broken tooth or something, I'll know more after Wednesday I hope.

Now back to joyous experiences! The unstopable force met the very movable, kickable and piss-on-you-when-your-down'able object this weekend when the Kansas Aldrich's tore apart the Dayton 'flyers' (hilarious name!). It was touch and go, especially in the first half, and I'm still terrified about us being a two man team. But if Aldrich plays like that we will crush everyone! Plus the competition on our way to the FF is less intimidating then I first thought it was. My bracket did take a kick in the junk that probably knocks me out of the tournament when Mizzou rode gutless tactics and referee computer assistance to the Sweet Sixteen. My poor Golden Eagles had their wings clipped prematurely. Makes me very sad, they are a very fun team to watch.

In non-event news we have a couple of new purchases living with us. The first of them are two new sofa pieces. We now have what looks like a very tall capital L in our living room (Jessica has photo's but she hasn't been blogging lately). I really love how we can buy these piece by piece (we have 5 pieces now). It lets us gather a nice couch a little bit at a time and allows us to change the design of it as we see fit. I think we will end up making it an additional piece thicker in the middle but otherwise it will be exactly the same. The other new addition is very dangerous new device. It gives off unhealthy levels of cool radiation. I've been playing extra sessions of D&D and Magic the Gathering in order to live in such close proximity to its hipness. Jessica is the first to get one, but I plan on getting one as well as soon as we can afford for me to do so.

Beware its brain altering cool!

Really the only other development in my life is an addition to my after-work work-out. I've always spent around 45min-60min doing a basic rotation weight regimen but as I've gotten plumper then I've ever wished to be I've decided to kick it up a notch and add in some yogging. currently I'm running about 3 miles in around 25 minutes (with a 5 minutes cool down). I've managed to force myself to do this everyday except when my Ipod dies prematurely, its just to hard to make myself run in silence for 30 minutes. That is much of the reason I am down with getting an Iphone so I have a new MP3 playing device.

Well this has already gotten way out of hand, so to my royal reader(s) I say adu!

Spring?!?

2009-03-05T06:37:00.016-06:00

(I can only assume the reason I can't move these photo's anywhere is because my work users IE6 which is painful in ways you can only know if you are forced to websurf without tab browsing as well. Anyway these photo's will make more sense with further reading. The second picture is just me wondering why I have a beer in my hand.)

I don't want to jump to conclusions but is Spring actually on its way? Its supposed to be 80 degree's of bliss today! I've looked into Obama's weather plan for the rest of the week and it gets 'chilly' again after Saturday, but I think it still has highs in the 50s! Now if I can just get the rest of this Poison Ivy to bugger off I'll be ready for outside wonderment!

We have Ang's Birfday partay this Saturday, I'm looking forward to it! Not so much because its Ang's birfday but because we finally get uncorked on the elusive Seedorf! I plan on drinking whatever amount properly prepares me to embarrass everyone present except for myself as I long ago became immune to my own shenanigans. I'm really hoping my hair is long enough to 'top knot' or at least to 'multi knot.' That should make me 'pretty' enuf to sit in genovese, amirite?

Ok, enuf looking into the year 2000, might as well tell my 1-2 readers all of whom already know what I have been up to... what I have been up to (try making sense of that, I dare you!).

Last weekend Karma put the pimp hand down. I spent Saturday evening/night over at gary's kept-man(I use this term very loosely)-lodge at a haut-ub party. It was a ridiculous amount of fun, a whole lot was drank, pong was played, asses were pounded - but not in the same way as is custom in DJ/Hamids home, paddles were broken, tickles were dished out, and what can only be described as a violently/joyfully/erotic game of leg king of the hill was played. My punishment for this came two fold. The first of which involved a confusing trip into Walmart at 3:00 that morning. Why we 'had' to go shopping at that ungodly time with my legs barely listening to my slurred commands I'll never know. I'm pretty sure I spent 4 decades wandering its hallowed halls in search of Mush (polentia if you hate Amurika) only to come up empty handed and disheartened.

The second punishment came the morning after. At some unholy hour of the day like 9:30 Jessica starts frantically getting out of bed which awoke me from my slumber. When asked why she would be moving when not moving seemed to be where the smart money was she responded that she thought she heard a knock on the door. I mostly assumed this was either a case of her paranoid hearing of things or at most a postman that was drugged out and thought today was Monday. Turns out it was the people who wanted to take our beleaguered hot tub off our hands. Why they were out at this time of day with 4 inches of snow on the ground only Beelzebub himself could tell you, but there they were, waiting for us to arise. Thus did I face the cold, unfriendly morning with a pounding headache and zero motivation. After an hour or so they were gone with the haut-ub in tow, but I knew I had done wrong the night before to pay for a night of haut-ub bliss with a morning of haut-ub pain.

Other then that all I've been up to is minimal house work and attempting to update my Ipod, btw if anyone reading this knows anything about Ipods after I get this thing all updated is it fairly easy to transfer everything exactly as it is on this Ipod to a new model? I really hope so cause to say this thing is on its last legs would be giving false hope to paraplegics. But its given me a reason to listen through various albums I had not yet listened to, dig through Mikes neverending supply of terrible music for that which I want to keep and remind me of what music I need to download at a whopping 3k/sec or whatever trash rate I get. I really really really want to hook an antenna up to our internet so that its not so terrible, it fairly regularly picks up the 3G signal now, but it picks it up so weakly I try to make it switch back to edge as edge is actually faster at its far superior signal strength. Currently our money is being siphoned by my boy blue, our couch. We bought the most expensive of all the parts to it a week ago, but it won't arrive for another couple of weeks. Then we only have 3 more pieces to buy (I think) and they are all the 'cheapish' parts. But each still comes in at around $150+ after shipping.

I've finally gotten myself back in the swing of things as far as going to the gym. Its not that I've been a whole lot the last couple weeks, but the times I have gone I've actually enjoyed it again. I have no idea what changed, maybe its just spring time. I don't want to figure it out either way, I'm just happy that its fun to do again. I'm hoping the weather clears up enough in the next couple o weeks that myself and the band of merry men can once again play a rousing game of broken ankles that some people call football once a week. I'm in desperate need of some excuse such as that to start getting in shape, so that on the weekends and a night or two of tennis during the week should go a long way towards making me less of an American.

And just so everyone knows, I still believe the Dream of Tyler Thigpin, but apparently the Chiefs don't...

Trudge through the Sludge

2009-01-30T08:07:00.003-06:00

First of all, I haven't forgotten all about my blogginz, I was just knocked into a state of depression over the cold war I continue to wage with the Internet overlords. I believe we are closer now then we ever have been to having a reliable, quick(relatively speaking) internet connection. But so far its not even a moral victory. Whenever we manage to climb back out of poverty status we'll buy ourselves an antenna to boost our reception and if that fails a booster to boost the reception. And if that fails we'll get a fuzz booster, boost fuzz to fuzz up the boost (sweet, sweet Big Hit). But until then its TV for outside information and 'every once in a while' internet.

Since so much time has gone by I don't see the point in rehashing everything. My professional life is only made to look good by the mind numbing self loathing atrocity of my personal life. I go on vacation this week, hopefully that goes well. Hope everyone has a great weekend and takes adv of that 60 degree Saturday. And Go Cards! I don't really care who wins the superbowl, but I would like the cards to take it home. I'll be watching it in Durango, BYE!

Where for art though MEAT?

2008-12-11T07:24:00.000-06:00

Sweet bajesus I am exhausted, on day 11 of a 12 day work festival. I don’t know why but for some reason the last few nights I have been unable to sleep. It’s like my spidey sense is tingling all night long. I seem to be in a constant state of semi-alertness as though Doc Oc is going to slam through my wall like the kool-aid man at any moment. Because of this I am insanely looking forward to Saturday when I get to wake up when I wake up and not to the sound of my alarm (assuming these rat bastids don’t give me mandatory).

Mike and I nerded it up something fierce yesterday, him more so then I (damn your internet technology sir!) and spent the whole day looking at Dawn of War crap online. I then was unable to fight off the urge to play some delicious Dawn last night. It was very satisfying; I found a new love for the Imperial Guard. After my delicious Dawn I watched the Cavs/76ers game. The Cavs still don’t look ‘great’ to me, I know they are putting a hurting on everyone, but they still don’t look awesome. Mo and LeBron are pretty insanely glorious, but NO ONE else impresses me. In the end I sort of wish I didn’t watch the game, because Elton Brand ended up looking like a post op Chris Webber which made me totally sad. Hopefully he can get his act together because the rest of the 76ers looked pretty decent out there. I also don’t get the Bobcats/Suns trade…. It doesn’t seem to help out either team very much, seemed a lot like treading water, I hope it works out for the Suns because I luv luv luv Steve-O Nash and Amare.

On the home front the Bob Empire recently had to give up ground against its mortal enemy the Jyesika commune. On the meat enriched planes of Moocowtasia the ravenous hordes of Bobians were driven back to the tasteless wastes of Vegiland. I tried to enact a total war strategy and burn all that was left behind, but unfortunately I can still remember the good times Meat and I once shared. The sweet sound of a kielbasa singing my belly to sleep, the nurturing hands of pork roast soothing my worries, the soft pillowy delight of steak, and the joy bringing embrace of my best friend Jerky. I’m sure my warriors will still venture out into the cold and forbidding Vegiland and scavenge what scant meat is available, but the Glory days of Meat on tap are now but a memory of a better time.

It also appears as though I might have some sort of allergy to Milk, which if proven right might just cause me to kill myself. Who can live in a world with no Bread, Milk or Meat? If only I was some sort of cybernetic-metrosexual-Hippy I might have a chance to survive in a world devoid of flavor; but I fear I’m not strong enough. I’m hoping once the milk products run dry in my house and I live off of what I can only imagine would be water, rice and dust that I will still be sick leaving me to look for another villain. As much as I don’t want to be sick all the time anymore, I nearly equally want to eat what I fuxin WANT! What kind of A-hole genes did I get anyway? Here’s a taste of life Bob, and ohh yea, that life that you taste, you can never actually eat that because your going to be allergic to everything, suck on that bitch! Couldn’t I have just come out retarded and not given a rats because I like to eat towels? (if your offended by that, well… I don’t give a rats; bugger off!). But nooo, I’m only half broken, like an old TV that you have to get up to change the channel on; you know there is something better out there, but you can’t access it….

Mmmk, all done feeling sorry for myself now.

I recently found out the power of ‘marketing’ when Macstore.com rolled a 1 on its Marketing save. Jessica and I were going to get a 47in Westinghouse from that same website, and part of the deal was a free wall mount (of little to insignificant value, I didn’t even know about that when I first chose to get the TV from their website). Anyway when I went to ‘double check’ that the TV would still be for sale this Monday when we had planned on purchasing it I discovered that the free wall mount was no longer part of the bargain. I was confused so I searched around for another deal on the TV mostly out of curiosity… To make a long story short in this search I decided that I instead wanted a Toshiba 42in and am now going to be making that purchase instead of Westy. So suck on that Macstore.com shoulda kept your meaningless free candy on the counter; or at least named yourself after a computer with some balls.

I finally had some free time to toss up a new blog entry. Quite a bit has happened since the previous entry.

Mostly I've just been super busy kicking myself in the head via working overtime. I worked my rotation day off nearly every week in November, and am doing so again so far in December, today in fact is supposed to be my day off. The most irritating thing about it is that my overtime day has thus far been the worst day I've worked in that given week. Obviously part of this is the knowledge that I could have been home snoozin it up in my boxers rather then at work floozin it up in my jeans. The added work income will hopefully come in handy with all of Jessica and I's spendy plans for the next month or two.

In order to take advantage of that segway I may as well talk about our new couch. We ordered a coach from a company that is I believe called Home Reserve. Its a nice looking couch, but I'm not 100% sold on its comfort level yet. For some reason the arms are made with zero padding on the side. And to make them even more supremely uncomfortable there are various holes in the wood sides as well, so its hard and edgy... maybe I should call the couch Morning Wood Billy Idol.... But its actual cushions are nice, and even though the storage inside the couch isn't remotely as awesome as we allowed ourselves to believe, its still nice to be able to have a place for spare sheets; and I managed to stuff all of our midgets into one section (I of course had to drain them of their life juice first). The only downside of the new couch is that it immediately f*cked Boots' couch. The second night we had the couch she/he decided to make it his/hers. So now Boots lives outside, constantly glaring inside through the sliding glass door in a mixture of rage and 'poor me' eyes ala Shrek.

Now we are knee deep in the process of trying to decide whether or not to spend some serious *serious for poor folk like us anyway* cash on a new TV. Its doubly chancy because the one I think I want the most is a refurb deal, I'll get a warranty on it obviously; but its still pretty chancy. Plus we have to decide by December 8th which is pretty damn soon. I'm hoping we end up having the scratch to swing it, I believe we are moving in that direction. I'm sure I'll have some elation filled blog post if we end up getting TV humongous, I think I'll call him Bill.

Thanksgiving was really really great; there were a few hitches which I will go into, but overall it was super great. It started off great because we through a HUGE (for our Japanese standard sized house) Friendgiving on Wednesday. The amount of food in proportion to the amount of people was way out of wack, I think we only ate about 1/3 of what was available, but we took care of the 10ish bottles of wine, so I was proud of us anyway. I'd post more but I'm sure Jessica will do it more justice, with pictures to boot! Basically it was 15 unsavory folks, 6 pies, 6 hours long, (3 of which were spent in the trench's of the ever popular 'Tits and Ass' debate) and ended in full stomachs and smiles. The next day went pretty well to, the only bummers being that I missed much of my mothers thanksgiving in her computer room trying to decide on what Garmin I wanted to purchase (I ended up liking the Nuvi 260W) only to find out they had gotten us one for X-mas already (the Nuvi 205 if memory serves); so that was a big waste of time and made me miss out on family fun times, which I actually enjoy in shotgun like bursts. Then we had to skip my old man's all together because they moved the time back an hour. We then went to Jessica's thanksgiving, which can best be described as a sleep deprivation study. Your awake for a long time, but not much is going on, and you wish you were sleeping. Luckily the trolls in the basement shared with us their reclaimed Harry Lego bounty, much fun was had at the expense of random lego parts now surely being found in that room for years to come.

Eventually we escaped the Fun Vacuum that is the Paul's and traveled North to what Joan terms "little Sodom" (or little Gomorrah or whatever she said/ makes sense - I'm luckily unburdened by a religious database). After this I began a 3 day LAN party. If your unfamiliar with the term picture a room of either way to skinny or way to fat people, lots of computer created heat, ample supplies of Cheetos, Mt. Dew and at our age Alcohol and lots and lots of laughter and yelling. It was immensely fun, but I neglected my wife during these three days and I'm sorry (love you sweetie!) My consensus from this time is that A: We never should have stopped playing glorious MechWarrior and B: What the hell were all those Chinese slaves bitching about? Wall making is awesome!

I probably have many other tales of boredom, debauchery and everything in between I could share, but I've wasted enough of my time and whatever hapless soul just read this drivels time.
So without further ado...

I've been working a fair bit of overtime lately, not an insane amount by any means; but any overtime worked by muah is a lot. As a result of this I basically did absolutely nothing last weekend, caught up on a few shows and got a little sleep, but that in a nutshell is all I did. I'm planing on having a trifle more fun this weekend, but we shall see. Not much else to report on besides the excitement of last night.

We decided to green up the house and get some of that recycled blown insulation stuff. It led to a messy wild night of attic adventures. I wish we had been wise enough to take some pictures, but we never think to do that. Basically we ended up looking like we stumbled out of a collapsed building in a Hollywood movie. I'm not sure how Jessica could breath up in the attic even with the breathing mask. She's probably going to be coughing up cat style hairballs all week now. But for all the work I was really glad we got it done, and putting if off doesn't do you any good because it will hopefully save us a few cents everyday. I was skeptical of how much of a change it would make, but when I awoke this morning and wandered around our house it was actually fairly warm even with the heater set to 68. Normally it takes an incredible burst of will power for me to get out of bed in the morning because it is so cold outside of my cocoon, but not so this morning.

I'm afraid (hard to not finish 'I'm afraid' with 'of Americans) that is about all I have to post about, not a very fun read I would imagine. But I've had a mostly not fun, boring to live through last couple of weeks, so you can now feel my pain. Although magic with Markimus prime on Tuesday was great fun. Ohh and watching the Chiefs game was super fun. I didn't like the play Chan called up, but I love that Herm went for two, made me like him alot more. I hope the rest of our season sorta plays out like that game. Look like we are improving, make some bonehead plays, and barely lose the game. Its brilliant!

2008-11-05T06:46:00.003-06:00

I wanted this post to be all about my joy of Barack Obama wining the Presidency. And don't get me wrong, I am thrilled. I had to wear my 'Obama 08' T-shirt 2 days in a row. It's sort of like rocking a KU shirt at work after they beat Missouri or Texas or Kansas State. Ohh the sweet satisfaction of rubbing it in. But I went ahead and threw all my euphoria into the crapper. The reason for this is that I remembered to check on the early results to Proposition 8 (The disgusting revoking of the right to same sex marriage in Cali).... I read this in Wallstreet Journal this morning....

"Early poll results Tuesday night showed California voters leaning toward overturning same-sex marriage in the state in a decision that could impact how the issue plays out elsewhere in the nation.
Approval of Proposition 8 would be a stunning upset in a $70-million campaign that just weeks ago looked to be running in favor of preserving gay marriage rights.
By 12:34 a.m. in California, 53.1% of voters favored passing Prop 8, as the measure is known, and 46.9% were against it, with 60% of precincts voting, according to the Secretary of State. However, both sides cautioned the vote could be very close and that it might still be early to declare a winner.
The passage of Prop 8, as it is known, would be a major victory for religious conservatives seeking to ban gay marriage in other states, and a crippling setback for the gay rights movement nationwide."

Now admitidly, it's not for sure, but it saddens me deeply that it is even close. I don't even think you should be allowed to vote on hateful, ignorant, backwards crap like this. The right of any two people to get 'married' should not be controlled by the state (or nation). If they are cool with 'civil unions' then what the hell is the deal with Marriage. It doesn't seem like you should even be allowed to vote on garbage like this, it feels like if Kansas randomly had a Proposition to make Hispanics use different bathrooms or something. Its just disgusting, and fills me with anger.

I even have a strange anger towards Jessica's mother this morning just because I can totally see her voting for something like this; and it makes me sad to know that not only do these people exist, but they are in my family, haha. Not only that, but her mother is well educated and practices reasoning in most of her decisions. Life would make more sense if I could just assume that the people who vote on acts like this actually are ignorant, mildly retarded members of our community. Unfortunately that is just not the case, and maybe I am being to hard on these people ('these people', now I sound like a bigot, haha). Its hard for me to put myself in their shoes (the heavily religious), just as I am sure its hard for them to look at the world through my eyes (when yur dead, yur dead). And heck, maybe her mother wouldn't vote for such a despicable bill, but even having to 'think' that she would just craps on my day. Anyway, I hope no one bothers to check this blog that is still flying high on Obama hope fumes.

I think in this post I refered to prop 8 as a prop, bill and act.... don't mind that, haha.

2008-11-03T09:29:00.022-06:00

That was a very dramatic weekend. I guess the easiest way to type it up is to make this chronological... And to mention this right now, I don't have any pictures to put up of Halloween right now, hopefully either Jessica will put them on facebook / her blog soon. Or I will bring some in on a flash drive and post them here. I'll probably do that regardless actually, if I ever remember. Now on to the show....

I was lucky enough this year to have my rotation day off fall on Halloween, so I was able to use all day Friday to get my costume together, which seemed like a fine plan with plenty of 'time' for error. As per my usual agreement with Past Bob (he's that no good son of a bitch that sloughs problems into the over-burdened lap of Future Bob) I did not actually leave enuff time for the Wal-inspired Temper-tantrums that were to follow...(dramatic pause)...I eventually began my day at Walmart, a fine purveyor of cheap crappola, making it the number 1 destination for cash strapped trick or treaters (read as everyone). I went in there with my list of needed goods, dignity, sanity and hopes/dreams. 1-2 hours later I left the store... but it seems as though I accidentally lost all of those items save the list within the hallowed halls of Walsmart.

It all mostly stemmed from my Dramater (I decided that is what a Drama Odometer would be called) clocking in at about 10 clicks past "Ohh Gash!". I needed a few simple items that I assumed would be gettable from Walsmart (suspenders, black pants, ball) and a make-up item for my dear Geisha (Jessica). I went after the suspenders first, because they were pretty crucial to my outfit.... I then wandered around men's department for so long I began hallucinating suspenders like a desert mirages. I even asked the Walsmart employee's for assistance which led to many dog chasing its tail type adventures. These eventually led to myself and the Walsmart employee who I was now fast friends with finding that although they had a giant suspenders rack, capable of holding at least 100 suspenders they were completely sold out... not one pair. This created the first crack in my sanity, which was widened when the exact same adventure took place in women's cosmetics while looking for Jessica's item. I then spent a confusing 15 minutes hunting down some ladies leggings for Derrick, which he then pro ceded to not use in his costume and is clearly meant for 'theme night' at the D-Bones household.

I just realized how much time I have spent on Walmart, so lets just make the rest of this brief. The long and short of it is I had a brain meltdown version of a wardrobe malfunction and had to coax myself out of it by getting a pair of black pants for 7 dollars that were marked as 65 dollar pants (woo JC Penny!); which I later chose to share my half digested lunch with, but that's getting ahead of the story. I eventually was able to put together my costuming (The Comedian from Watchmen, don't worry, its not just you; no one knows who it is). Eventually being the key word, we had planned to gather for dinner around 7:30, I didn't finish sewing my suspenders on (I ended up creating my own suspenders, eat yur heart out Martha) until 8:00. The night then looked as though it was going to go off without a hitch: Jessica in a very well done Geisha costume and I met up with Schwumps, riddick and Captain forgot his name and we had some bloody glorious Sushi (I want to take a moment to mention that Schwumps costume was out of this world awesome, I promise to get a picture up sometime this week!)... Shortly here after the wickedness of Halloween reared its beautiful, crystal clear head, and attacked me from the depths of my trunk.

After leaving the restaurant we met up with Mark (who made up the other part of our Watchmen Trio) and went for Trunk Vodka..... The problem with Vodka drinking, and Trunk Vodka drinking in particular is that you don't actually know how drunk you are until about 15 minutes after the binge is over. I apparently drank waaay to much in this period and all of a sudden my night was off and ruining, unfortunately it left my brain in the gutter next to the trunk.

My memories or the rest of the night are jumbled, jolly and probably wrong. But the way I understand it I yelled vehemently at anyone without a costume on; should of had my ass handed to me on several occasions; left various phone messages on various phones; ran into another group of Watchmen - shamed them utterly and moved on; ran into Angela in her Cheetwhora costume; consumed more Trunk Vodka; revel revel revel; and blackness. What came later in the night can only be described with such eloquent words as 'douchbaggery', 'disgusting' and 'violent'. Suffice to say Jessica was displeased and I awoke alone and confused.

The only bright side of this is that I now plan to enact a far better system of drinking; screw ever drinking out of a hard liquor bottle again, I'll have my flask and call it good. Its not fun for me to be that drunk, its definitely not a good time for my wife, and only the most hardy and foolish of people (read as John) probably get any enjoyment out of me at this stage of disrepair. I still had fun that night, but lessened the fun of others, was wildly hungover, and puked all over a perfectly good costume.

Now to brighter days for Bob and dark, shame filled days for Hamid - Saturday night Bob House Party!

The misses and I had a whirlwind day of "uhhhgggg I'm hung over" ... "I did what last night, I'm sorry" ... "blehhh time to go vote and hit up the AE employee sale"..."Hurray voting was super easy, Go Obama!"..."Holy crap, I didn't know there were enough shirts back there for you to buy that many, well done Madam!"..."chop chop, stab, cut (wood)"....."you do know you basically put yourself up naked on our table in brown form" - followed by - "don't be a jackass Bob"...."Is anyone showing up to this party?" ... "Is anyone cooler then Mark Schmeltz showing up to this party " ... "Ohh snap, its the Jesus; THE PARTY HAS BEGUN!"

After a short period of hmm, are Mark, Soomin, Jessica and I going to have ourselves a quiet night in... people arrived. I've already told everyone, but I may as well blog it as well. I was super surprised at the effort everyone put forth on costuming. Not only was everyone save one lass in a costume, but most of them were in fairly elaborate costume, varying from heroic, to comedic, to bear-fuckeric; twas fantastic. After I ran a short errand (had to pick up my viking helmet after the double fail of John/Pichu) I set the bon fire off (which was sort of unneeded on such a warm evening) and the fun began. It was a mostly low key party, there was a fair bit of Tippee cup, or flip cup, or 'Brrrdurrrmmm! *think trumpety noize* cup; whatever you want to call it. Other wise just a lot of talking, sitting, dancing, and the now Bob Party Requisite GERMAN DISCO GLOW STICK SHOW! I take 0 responsibility in this happening again, I was going to let a few parties sneak in before that debacle struck again. Sometime around German Disco Light show I began to wonder where Hamid had gotten off to... and now begins a tale of shame.....

Apparently what had happened to our good friend Blunt man is that he found himself pantless and throwing up in our bathroom. Which isn't all that horrible; the real crime was his failure to lock the door at a party where the most unsavory of people (coughJohncough) lurk. The rest of his night was probably a blur of visitors, snap photography, grumbles, shambles and shame. I felt bad for the guy, but the situation was nigh unstoppable. Luckily he got a chance to take a nap on the always comfortable 'slab o concrete' so that must have been nice for him. I haven't seen the pictures since that night, but he's in for a special treat whenever those leak out into the series of tubes and voodoo magic some buffoons call the Internet.

Sunday was a day to relax, clean and watch Thigpen. I really like the way our offense is progressing. From the O-line to the Wide outs we look soooooo much better then we did at the start. Unfortunately all the wheels have come off the Linebacker bus... Mark came out for some Magic, then Jessica, Mark and I watched the vast array of eye candy that Sunday night HBO offers. It was good. Plus Jessica cooked us up a yummy pizza (thanks sweets) But now it is Monday and I am at work, so life is now back to normal. I hope everyone else had a fun and interesting Halloween weekend as well.

The weathermen better be correct about it getting warmer come Halloween... Whats the point of getting going out on Halloween if its to cold for women to exercise their right (or excuse) to dress slutty on Halloween! It was ball suckingly cold this morning, mine may have been sticking out my backside they were so chilly on my walk to the car. But it looks as though it should be mid 60s by Friday, I'll put a mean hex on the mad scientists who control the weather if this isn't true! Luckily it definitely looks like no rain, which is great since we are having an outdoor party on Saturday.

So on to actual news.....

In an ironic twist I actually got that job I interviewed for (after a 2+ hour long interview, blech); and then ended up being told I didn't want it by everyone I know, haha. I know they are all correct in it being wise for me to just walk away, but I still don't 'want' to. I'm tired of being told by everyone I work with at my last two jobs "why are you here, your blah blah blah for this place." I'd like to be somewhere that has actual expectations... meaning that just because I can create 7 out of 3 and 4 I'm not going to 'wow' my fellow coworkers. I'd like to be somewhere that I can be a 'professional' whatever the hell that means, but I guess that is what I am looking for... Ohh well, back to pretending to work and going nowhere.....

(ohh yea, I forgot to mention why everyone told me not to take it. Basically its an insurance salesmen job that is all commission. It has high potential earnings, but nothing guaranteed. Personally I think I would be good at it, which is why I wanted to take it, but I understand the risks and why I have to turn it down. The idea of being able to be my own boss was very tempting however).

Please say that some of you that read this actual watched the Chiefs game, because that game was soooo satisfying for me. I had a dream on Friday night that Thigpen was going to be our Quarterback of the future, it was a very odd dream, and very real feeling. I remember thinking in the dream, how weird is it that we have had this Billy Idol weirdo as our Quarterback for 15 years.... Anyway, I mentioned this at the diner I went to with friends on Saturday night, it was met with lots of mockery, haha. Which is to be expected, I clearly didn't actually believe Thigpen was going to be that awesome, but it made his glory on Sunday all the more satisfying. I know he didn't complete any long balls, but I didn't think the couple of long balls he threw were poorly thrown. He looked absolutely amazing to me, admit idly this is through a zero expectations "Holy crap Palin didn't throw up or speak in tongues during the debate" type of lense. Both his play and Bradley's play (as well as the usual sweetness of Bowe) allows me some of that silver lining I didn't think I would see this season.

On the downside it might mean that Sucka Jones and myself can't go to anymore Chiefs games, but its a sacrifice I am willing to make for my team, haha. I've got a new costume idea (besides the Zombie Viking that I will be rocking at the party at my house). I am going to be the commedian on Halloween night. Sucka Jones is being Rorschach, and Schwumps is trying to throw together a Nite Owl costume so it just made sense. Plus his outfit is so simple, and I could rock it again next year if the movie ever comes out, only better next year of course. This year it will be pretty damn thrown together, but his costume is simple so as long as people don't think I am a really really terrible captain America I am wining, haha.

I'm really looking forward to this week in food. Jys and I spent a retarded sum of money at the grocery store last week, so we have a really large, bountiful list of menu items. Plus at some point this week we are going to rock 'German night.' Which for me means Sauerkraut and Sausage with Mashed taters, and for her means beer; so we both win pretty hard. I'm going to try to use German night to Lure Jones into helping me gather fire wood for like an hour... Tasty Beer and Brats Jones... you know you want it!

Well tired of typing up my mindless chatter for 2 maybe 3 people to read. Until next time, I leave you with these parting words... Thigpen - Believe the Dream!

Career of the Living Dead!

2008-10-21T12:27:00.006-05:00

I have a second interview with Bankers Life and Causalty... Which is good if for no other reason then I at least didn't blow the first go round. The biggest problem with it is I am uncertain, as of right now, how much I even want the job. I want it to make more monies and to work somewhere that I feel more useful, but commission based jobs are always a scary venture. I already know I want to aim more in the direction of trainee > trainer > management, rather then trainee > agent... But that doesn't make me free from commission. It basically all boils down to how much the consistent earnings are available, and whether or not I can even land the job... which is very very doubtful right now. I saw a great many people in that room that looked like they were probably more qualified then myself, but I am of course waay more awesome!

My football frenzy weekend sort of went better and sort of went worse then I thought it would. Rocking out some two hand touch with only 5 people was actually really really fun. And Hamid 'Randy Moss' Huggybean actually ran on like 3/5 plays, it was nuts! Hopefully he'll come out and play again this weekend, but that could be askin to much of ol Huggy. The KU game had a really really great first half... and an equally disastrous second half. As near as I could tell we basically just stopped tackling, and their QB was on his game all game long. I sadly had to watch this game without John or Mark, but i still had a great time watching it with the remaining warriors. Mark instead watched this game with Kristian who then forgot he was there, which is equally parts sad and funny... well maybe more sad then funny... but yea.

I had to make a new paragraph to describe for you all the glory that was the Chiefs game. Tina (Thanks TINA! not that you read this) was able to acquire four tickets to the Chiefs game from her aunt... we later learned the four tickets were Suite tickets.... and we learned some time later that they came with a free 'gold' parking pass, Jackpot! The tickets themselves were a ridiculous like 95 bucks a pop, and I think I remember the parking pass coming in at 35 bones. So Mark and I being awesome left Lawrence around 9:25 so we could get to the stadium early and do some tail gating (Tina and her sadly not assholish asshole boyfriend barely made it for kick off). The drive there was made all the more exciting by my rambling on about some story and completely missing a merge off of the highway... I think we ended up on 71 or some such nonsense... can't even remember now though. Anywho we get to the arena and spend a solid 20ish minutes being totally confused.

I don't' understand why they don't have signs to tell you where to go, instead there is just a bucket brigade of people pointing, waving and gyrating to get you where you need to go. And since we had no idea as to our final destination (mark pretended to know, but I know he's a lying bastich) we never knew which turn, or not turn to make. which ended up in a lot of angry human signs giving us anger infused waves onward, as if we were to somehow know where the hell to go before they told us.... good times. We then 'tailgated' which for a couple of losers like us involves Mark downing some miller, me swigging from a big ol' bottle of Vodka and throwing the football around....

We somehow manage to glance at our phones in time to wander into the stadium a good 10-15 minutes before kick off. When we entered the suite (which was located right behind the goal posts... so baller!) there was no one else there but us... and a manservant! Which was really really awesome. The suite only had like 10-12 places for people to sit, and no one was there yet so we both had some hilarious imagery of us being the only people there and having gereld our butler make us drinks and bring us wings all game! A whole lot more people came eventually (maybe 15 in total) making it less awkward. There was a ton of food, booze and liquor all for free and we made sure to take adv of the situation... So much so that when we left we just kept on taking advantage. Since the game was a blow out loss everyone else left early, but since we A: were trashed and didn't care and B: are die hards and would have stayed until the end anyway, we ended up the last four people in the suite (even *Gereld left). So being the classy gents we are, we filled up Carry out containers with Gin, Beer, Bailys and some actual food. It was a huge win!

In the end I hope the Chiefs don't win another game all season so her aunt can be super disgusted and give us tickets to every home game! Plus we would get a better draft pick, cause we need a bloody Favre out here.

Other then football it was a mostly uneventful weekend. Danger cat can be found exploring our bathroom a little deeper, which leads to her hilarious scrambles for cover when we open the door. But I think she is only frosty rather then ice cold on people now, so that's progress. Fatty just keeps on being bloody awesome, Kiley is as gross and silly as ever, I'm doing good, but unfortunately Jessica appears to be getting sick so send her some love hippy style.

I've got a pretty boring week lined up involving huddling away from the rain, attending work, and sleeping. Its going to be radical! I hope you all survive the rainy day blues, the weekend and Wickaween look to be shaping up real nice, peace!

DANGER!, Occupancy Limit Breached, taking on fur, Abandon House, ABANDON HOUSE! WEEOO WEEOO!

2008-10-14T08:11:00.015-05:00

Welcome to my living nightmare! haha

My blog is taking a disturbingly feline bent, but so is my home, so I guess it makes sense. Last Thursday (I think) while Mark and I were playing magic (Jealous?) a tiny black fur ball appeared outside and caught Jessica's attention (obviously). She sent me out with her on a cat hunting expedition, however this cat wasn't having our reindeer games. He/she didn't so much 'run' away from us, as trot away at a controlled pace keeping us at no less then 6 feet away at all times. We foolishly made a lunge for the cat down by the fire pit which freaked it out good and proper and I assumed that would be the last we heard from it....

But low and behold it came back every other day save one, Jessica as you Can imagine began feeding and falling in love with the cat at a break neck speed. Over the course of the next few days the cat was fed and studied ala the Geiko commercials.

Last night I went to the fridge to get some ice for my tasty sweet tea which involves opening the sliding door because in our ghetto rific house you can't open the freezer all the way and still keep the door closed; who would want to though, honestly. Then I notice a pathetic little meow through the screen door and see the kitty staring inside and crying (it should be noted that it was raining and cold and terrible outside at this time). Jessica craftily used this opportunity to lure the cat into our home by placing her food just enough in the house that the kitten (did I mention it was a kitten before this? If I didn't its a totally tiny kitten) had to enter the house to snack. Then whilst the kitten was busy eating she snuck around the back of the house and closed the screen door behind the cat without it even noticing.

Once said kitten, whom we call 'boots' or 'socks' its still up in the air, (she is a tiny black cat with white feet, I could not find a picture that gave her feral green crazy eyes, and Albert Einstein like fur proper attention) was finished eating she realized her egregious error. Then came the 4 hours of hilarious fear and anger...

She sat huddled by the now closed door for a while, then once we got her to move away from the screen door just a bit we attempted to close the sliding glass door, during which time she would scurry back and forth attempting to get smashed. She then tentatively wandered around the kitchen until our new cat Emma approached her. But since Emma is a big fat sweetheart they got along just fine immediately. She even got along fine with Kiley, but she was most certainly not having any of our shit. I'm fairly certain she's under the impression that we are T-rex's and if she stands really still then we can't possibly see her and thereby eat her. She is all about finding a too tiny spot, backing into it, and staring out with her crazy eyes filled with fear if we approach. If you have been in our bathroom you know how low the big white towel holder sits to the ground, when Jessica attempted to show the cat where we made her poo box, she crammed herself under that, and stayed there until we went to bed, haha. She is really cute, and hopefully will become more friendly as time goes by, otherwise we eats her!

(I forgot to mention that about 10 minutes after we got the sliding glass door closed something spooked boots and she charged for the glass door. She even did an awesome little victory leap on her approach. But with the door closed this quickly turned into a victory smash, followed by a ninja quick 180 turn around, back into door, stare out terror filled eyes, CHEESE TO A CORNER! was some funny stuff)

In other news... I finished painting the house last week! And was rewarded by the wife immediately giving me more 'home improvement' tasks to accomplish. She needs a lobotomy of whatever part of her brain forces her to constantly want to make change with the house. I'm of the mindset that you do a little some'n some'n every now and then, and in the in between time you just enjoy the house, but she can't ever seem to enjoy. All she see's is problems. She's like Spawn or Raistlin and only see's death, haha.

Aside from that all I have been up to is catching up on my TV shows, I really love this new show called Sons of Anarchy or something like that. It's on FX and is a pretty quality show. We have also started playing football on the weekends which has been ridiculous fun, but I think we may miss out this weekend, I am trying to rectify that though... Ohh and I get to go to a Chiefs game with Mark, so that really really owns. Sadly it is against the Titans so it will probably end in shame and pain, but whatever, that just means more Colquitt!

Time for change...

2008-10-03T09:20:00.012-05:00

Hmm, I really need to change the daily blog name on this to the 'random attacks of interest Bob' or something along those lines....

I've been super busy lately, which is actually kind of fun after the pre burning man constant plan of "Do NOTHING!, SOMETHING costs money(fear)". But now that we are back and have no pressing concerns we have eaten out a couple of times and are taking the time (and spending the dough) to get some of our ever growing house concerns fixed.

I've spent that last 5 afternoons working on painting the house, but in proper outside painting fashion only two of those days so far have actually been spent using paint. While the other were spent sacrificing my fingers to various spiders and spikey bits. Its starting to look really nice though. The funny thing is we mostly have people over for night time parties, so I doubt anyone will even notice, haha.

I haven't seen Jyesika mention the addition to our household on her blog yet, so I'll do the honors. We picked up a new cat from the Human Society (which involved having a retina scan, providing a family tree dating back to when my great, great, great (you get the picture) Grandpa Bobglegbhabob crawled out of the primordial ooze... I always just at the chance to use the term 'primordial ooze' its just so ninja turtle, I love it! Anyway back to the cat, she is basically a semi clone of Tula Ben's cat (Drew's brother, who I should call to hang more often at our gatherings, but he is always ladying it up that sexi bastard).

She is incredibly awesome though, I fell in love with her within the first day. I would say what sold it for me was her immediate coolness with my crabby aging puppy Kiley (I can totally call her a puppy and aging in the same sentence, bugger off!). They basically went through the usual ass end inspection and then were good to go, I am assuming it is their Grayness that bonds them, Kiley probably thinks she is looking in a mirror, per cataract dog. Hmmm, I am clearly living with the Gray nesters now, Darren would be so happy. But yea, she is ridiculous portly, made all the more silly by her tiny and petite head. She is so huge that our old cat box can't contain her awesome girth. Its an exciting poo explosion in there, Its almost as if Michael Bay directs her bowel movements.

(I was going to try and find a picture with bay directing an explosion, but that smile was just to perfect... Google image search + paint shop + 1 minute of effort = win!)

Its been so long since I wrote last I have so much catching up to do, but I'll cover more in future posts, I don't want to log down (is that the right phrase? log down... can't be... bog down... yes bog down.... ohh well, I'm log'n this one down) the maaaybe one person who has this on their RSS feed. In short, Zombie Nights are so far unparalleled success, Chiefs are on the comeback trail, my magic decks are unstoppable, and the price of schlop in China must have gone up cause King ate up like 7 bones yesterday, price raising bastards; How am I to feel disgustingly cheap if I am paying that much, gross class!

Oops!

2008-04-05T00:30:00.001-05:00

Hah! It took me so long to figure out how to get this blog back under my control that now I am to tired/ brain hurty to actually blog, but I'm back, woo! Goo hawks!

2 hours later

2006-10-27T01:19:00.000-05:00

And like two hours after everyone has gone to bed, and I have been bored to tears my stomach finally stops being bitchy, and the burping stops! yay. Hoping it stays gone, still totally confused as to what made me sick, I swear I ate good for bob things. Anywho will make a proper post later today, I promise....

p.s. to meself, remember to call people about fantasy basketball, and remember to remind yurself how awesome you are.

Once Again posting right before I go to bed, so rather tired and am not gonna write a whole heckuva lot moreNlikely.

First wanted to give a quick rundown of some movies I have seen in the theatre's lately.

The Protector - Basically Ong-Bak II, but with even worse American editing then Ong-bak, I look forward to the DVD though, the fight scenes were great, but it was more or less disappointing, maybe I expected to much after the glory that is Ong-bak.

Crank - OMFG, LOL, WTFBBQ is all I can say about this movie, it was so gloriously over-the-top. This movie's shenanigans are to other movie shenanigans, as Dynamite is to poprocks, it was great.

Beerfest - admittedly the fact that this movie tossed Mark into a drinking binge isn't saying much considering he is more or less forever locked in an eternal drinking Binge, however it was Absolute Redemption for the glorious cast of Super Troopers after making the excrement laden Dread Island or wtf it was, haha(Brain worky not so good right now).

Little Miss Sunshine - absolutely Brilliant, allstar cast, allstar performance, allstar script, allstar soundtrack, allstar directing, allstar smells, the allstars taste like allstars, Its Slaptastic, go see it, now.....Stop reading....The rest is just drivel....Go now damn you!

The Science of Sleep - For starters the name seems to have little to do with the movie, aside from a sleep theme, I learned no scientific methodologies; Kathy would be dearly disappointed. The characters seemed poorly thought out, and had superfluous attributes that did not fit them, just not that great of a movie, some fun visuals though.

I was supposed to look up stuff on honey moon sites tonight, but I got to distracted playing to much final fantasy and talking to Drew and reading sports, alas. Ahh well that is sweet payback for the abuse I had to take last night. When I went into bed, like a nice friendly manfriend, I was yelled @ for wanting some covers, then she got out of bed to use the restroom, came back in, kicked me, yelled @ me some more and turned away. I went to bed sad and confused, prolly like Hamid does every night.

As to the title of the blog, I had the unpleasant sensation of feeling like a child molester or pedophilia or Drew Farmer/Michael Harry/Jeef Laws, take your pick. I was waiting outside the changing room for jessica (@ umm Gap I think). But it was in the kids section, little girls to be exact, so I just sorta stalked around with my coke, and my usual creepiness amongst the little girls, nervous moms, and silly clothes, was quite unnerving.

Bob done now
Bob sleep
Bob dream
Bob wake up
Bob go to work
Bob try not to kill himself
rinse repeat.

Cracked out

2006-09-26T14:37:00.000-05:00

Sooooo, got so bored decided to forget about my not till the house thing and just go ahead and blog................. eat me.

K, actually typing this first sentence last, realized after I wrote all that other crap that I forgot to mention that I'm married and it owns. I feel very happy and very secure, its really quite nice. Makes you feel solid, less worried about the crap life throws @ you cause now someone contractually has to be in your corner.

I'm tweaking out on lack of sleep, lack of jessica, lack of friends, lack of life, and way to much frappaccino. Woooohah! Accidentally stayed up a to long, and figured welp to late now, may as well stay up all day and see what happens. More then likely the see what happens will be the pink pixies riding velociraptor that I am able to convince myself are fake for the moment will eventually seem real and then I can go into a nice warm psychotic episode.

Watched King Kong earlier today, which totally pissed me off. A cause it was a completely crappily done movie. Makes me wander if Peter jackson had a chimpanzee or something that was editing, shooting etc the Lord of the Rings, cause this movie looked like something an fx studio would poop out. Jack Black actually had a decent performance though I thought, everyone else was to handicapped by the ineptitude of the director to tell if they were worth anything. And as to my second point I got pissed off cause despite how terribly the movie was made I was still totally saddened when the ape died, which confounds me, I'm blaming the lack of sleep for now.

Achieved level 75 in Final Fantasy last night, which was way more anti climatic then I wanted it to be. I remember when I first started playing and just sorta assumed you would feel all badass, bubblegum ass beater when you were level 75, but I still feel pretty weak, maybe it is cause my job class makes me such a pansy, who knows.

In other dark and dreary news, my fantasy team has totally crapped out. Luckily being that I slept through the draft I have no real connection to them and as such don't really care much. But yea my number one draft pick broke his foot, my number three did something or another to his ankle, and the rest of my team seems to be having a sever case of vaganitus.

Don't really want to deal with my dad issue yet, so ignoring that, actually was about to type some more, but decided I don't feel like it, off to look for some picture to post on here, wee!

I've decided I feel like a combo of this >>>

and this >>>

Down for Construction

2006-05-15T20:53:00.000-05:00

Don't bother attempting to read this website for about a month, the work on our house and subsequent crappolla that we have to take care of is eating to much of my time, after we are moved in and have internet up and working @ our new house I promise to blog again.

until we meet again

TGIF!

2006-03-24T11:08:00.000-06:00

Having a totally bad day/week...

Right now I am writing this inbetween running down stairs for random fits of diarrhea... I don't get it I am insanely hungry, but I am not eating anything cause I don't want to give my body ammunition. Yet it seems to never run out anyway.

Week started out with my nearly healed finger scab getting accidently ripped off early in the morning, causing the entire morning to fall out of wack, making me late for work, which is really irritating.

I don't really remember Tuesday, so lets just pretend it didn't happen

Wednesday I got stupidly confused as to which time I was supposed ot be @ work and as a result I ended up being totally late. Which set that day off for loosing. Then making it even more irritating I just couldn't seem to do anything right that day. For some reason the skills of a caulking elude me. Made a plan to go see a house in Pamona, ended up being like 5 minutes late to that as well ><. The worst part about the whole thing is the house was really pretty decent, and the land wasn't bad either, but in driving out to see the house we realized that it was just to far away from everyone and everything making whatever the house had to offer a moot point.

Thursday was actually a good day, I mastered the art of caulking, which was stupidly satisfying for me, and other then that didn't have a real rough day, got off work ealry, came home and had a nice quite relaxing night with Jessica, all in all a good day....

Which I was later punished for in the form of celiacs. Although I just realized I forgot to mention it after seeing the house on wednesday we decided to stop into On the Border for some food stuff, I ate my tamale and taco while there and took the enchilada's home with me. I then proceded to eat said Enchiladas of dOOOm thursday night shortly before I went to bed. I woke up ten minute before my alarm went off today, feeling pretty decent, then when 6:55 rolled around I started getting uncomfortable, and next thing I know I am curled up in a ball for like an hour with teh worst attack of my celiacs that I have had for a long long time. Its about 11:00 right now and I am hoping that it is about to leave me alone, for I would like to get in some amount of work today. My stomach is mostly just a little achy right now and I am having some burping type of gas. The biggest problem is the diahrea at the moment which obviously has to stop before I go into work.

Hope you all had a luvly week, and have yourselves a geat weekend. I am in need of one myself.

Bored as hell, good time to blog!

2006-03-09T20:22:00.000-06:00

I got off work all early today, was rather excited till I called Jessica and she seemed mostly just angry that I was gonna make less money today. Which is true, but still it was nice to get home @ like 1:30, ahh well. Then I looked up apartments most of the time while I was home rather then my original plan of clean kitchen then sleep, heh. Went and looked @ some. I really liked one, thought the rest were to expensive or to crappy, she seemed to hate both that she saw. Since then been pretty boring, she got sick @ work so she was pretty much in a peel the skin from your face mood and then went to bed, so I have been sitting bored @ my computer since then. Been talking to Drew which keeps me from actually entering a comatose state.

Getting really hungry and not sure if I should just eat, cook and then wake her, or just wait for her to wake up. Mostly I am just bored though, managed to score CRASH from blockbuster today, been trying to get that for quite a while, now only have one hard to get movie, "Constant Gardener."

Ohh yea forgot to mention went apartment searching with Drew as well. Semi funny story. We go out to dinner last night and during the meal @ some random point Jessica asks Drew if he wants to live with us next year, which is totally fine by me, I enjoy Drew and think we would all live happily ever after. But the odd thing was that she never asked me about it first. She I believe had a make believe conversation with me in her head. She has these a lot and from time to time and claims that somehow my bad memory causes these conversations in her head to happen in the real world, but I balk at such lunacy.

Actually working with Chad now. Its mostly interesting work, sometimes it is a tad frustrating when they tell me to get some tool and I have no idea what it is, or even worse, when I am told to go do a job I have never done with no real instruction. Such as when I bumbled around in a crawl space the other morning doing installation, good times, great memories. The hardest thing about the job are those days that I leave @ 6:25AM and don't get back till 7:00PM, but Jessica is generally happier when she sees me, so that makes it all worth while.

Spent a fair chunk of today looking @ magic cards, hoping my lady friend allows me to purchase like 10-15 bucks of cards I have been contemplating for a while, we shall see :).

P.S. This is how morning feels

Peace, Luv, and Bread

Bob, Strugglin on with his breadfreehysteria

Surprisingly Delightful Maunday

2006-02-20T21:12:00.000-06:00

Amazingly today was a rather nice day. In many many ways. I got a lead on a few jobs, most of which sound rather sketchy, but when yur desperate you go after sketchy anyway. The least scary of the prospects is the Target Warehouse job, which is unfortunately in Topeka, but is legitimate. The rest of them sound like I will be importing Chinese children or running a credit card scam, should be fun! Come Wednesday I will begin exploring my options on these jobs, I set up one 'interview' in Topeka and will hit up the target warehouse that is there on the same day. I say 'Interview' in these '' cause I don't want it to sound to respectable. This was the sketchiest of all, I'm just waiting to get knocked out from behind and have someone melt my eye off Hostel style.

The day continued to go nicely outside of the job front. It was kind of sad to not receive anymail, but that was far offset by the delightful weather outside when I stupidly checked for mail. Most of the rest of the day was spent chatting to Jessica and Drew, which was delightful as always. Jessica seemed to be having a nice day @ work, and she is positively wonderful to talk to when chipper. I then spend the rest of the day, cleaning up the kitchen, cleaning up the front room. Organizing bits and pieces of the other rooms and putting away some of the laundry. I'll finish the laundry in the morrow, was just to depressing to do all @ once tonight...

I had a decent conversation with Mark on the drive home Sunday (decent phone conversation with Mark is like winning the Lottery, which unfortunately we failed to do). I infact just inquired to my father as to whether anyone won the powerball *someone did*, and ohhh crap. I just remembered I forgot to call the twins on their birthday, damn this brain of mine. If Either of you read this, Happy Birthday! I'll have to try to remember to call them tommarah. Anywho back to Mark, when talking to him he sounded like he would indeed be headed back to his parents after his hospital appointment. Its not that I think that it is a bad decision, I am just bummed to have more Mark time stolen from me. Curse that shotgun.

The night then continued with the cooking of some kind of Chicken Shishcabob thingy from the shwans man, which everyone seemed to more or less enjoy but that I was not impressed by. Kathy, Drew and I watched Stargate. Jessica seems to have grown away from the gate. Which is a bummer cause I think it is fun when we all watch it together cause I'm a nerd like that. But is also maybe good cause now I can burn through it faster and get up to date, then we can just start watching it on normal TV once a week or whenver it is on. She reads the Internets spoilers on em anyway.

We started watching Gilmore girls on the weekend, which makes me very happy in that I have loved that show for quite some time, and it thrills me that she enjoys it to. She has a very ummm, not sure how to say it. She often thinks of my shows and droll, or fake, etc. So I found it to be quite excellent that she enjoyed watching the Girls, and am happy that we can watch them together.

Will Work For Food

2006-02-15T21:21:00.000-06:00

Still have not gotten that job with Chad, really really hoping it will materialize here quickly. I know if nothing else Jessica is understandably getting sick and tired of going into work while I sit around all day. And Hell without Final Fantasy Online I've not got much to do all day, heh. And we really need the money right now, hell who ever doesn't need money. Other then that been having a good time looking @ the new magic cards and talking about our hopeful website Lorebroker.com (doesn't exist quite yet so don't bother going there.) I plan to try and learn 'Ruby' in my free time, its the programming language Computer-mastermind Drew chose to use for the website. It's frustrating so far, not that I could ever program that well, but it sucks that I forgot what little I knew, and my math skills are so out of practice as well. But if I was able to learn some basics I would hopefully be able to contribute in some small way. And if nothing else it will occupy my mind.

I got Jessica some hopefully cute, possibly awful Vday presents. They are ....drumroll...... a thermometer and an alarm clock, heh. Hopefully she will post pictures of them on her blog @ some point so you don't think they are totally terrible, maybe they are. But I thought they were cute. Other then that had a good Vday, went out to eat (accidentally ate something including gluten, not totally sure what it was so was sick last night.) Then I had a good time @ the old gym.

Feels really good to be back in the gym groove again. I vainly, or stupidly, or hell I Dunno some other 'ly' don't want to look fat and out of shape in my wedding photo's, and more importantly I don't want to be fat and out of shape. Going to the gym gives me more energy on a daily basis, lets me feel better, and hopefully makes me more useful in a physical labor job, which is about all I seem good for.

Life has been up and down since I last posted. I've had some really good days, some rather frustrating days (mostly @ work). Not sure if they are giving me less hour on the schedule lately cause they are mad about me changing my availability (which I did in thinking I would be working with Chad by now) or because they want me to quit, or because those were the only hours available. I'm hoping the latter, but would not be surprised if it was the previous. Myself and the Gatekeeper don't exactly get along.

So in summary I am excited about our website possibilities, excited about hopefully working soon, and hoping that my working will improve my current relationship, not that it is bad. Just that it is hard to have one person working full time (and then some, she works extra jobs, she's hardcore, gotta luv er) and one person not working, not going to school, and not writing the next Great American Novel.

P.S. Figured it would be rude of me to go this long without a post and not put up a graphic.....

Shatty Day

2006-01-26T16:28:00.000-06:00

Having a total poop day so far. Went to bed last night before my body was actually ready to sleep, and as such I spent pretty much the whole night tossing and turning and getting no sleep. Then come morning/Jessicawakeuptime she was friendly enough to cuddle w/ me just long enough this morning to wake me up with no chance of falling back asleep. Then I was trashed all day and unable to get any further sleep. The one bright spot is that Chad (my brother in law and a really friendly chap) said I can work w/ him, but not for a couple weeks (damn!). But hopefully that works out great, I think I will like working for him, I just hope I can do a good enough job. Then to poo on my day later I got stuck on the phone with KU for like 30 minutes with no human voice!

So I eventually just sent the admissions office an email, but email seems to go over as well as one of those cake smelling candles @ fat camp. Anyway I'm exhausted, my eyes make me look like an extra dancer from Thriller, and I have to work from 5-11 now >< GodamnyouThursday!

Sick, but found safety

2006-01-15T02:50:00.000-06:00

Syuk on that Brady, The Plummer ran WILD on you! Bruuutha!

Had a pretty good day today all things mashed together. I had to wake up earlier then I had hope, but it was for a good cause. Went to Applebee's with Jeef and Sarah which was good, I never get to see either of them anymore, so it nice to hang with them again. Sounds like things are going well for them, although a feel for Jeef cause Sarah chose a pink and umm yellow I think wedding, not that I would want blood red and black for my wedding, but yellow and pink? chumon now. haha!

Then came back and Jessica was beginning to complain aboot a stomach ache, but she did not seem to be overly concerned about it @ first. I say this cause if anyone knows how to complain its by Boobles. So I was rather surprised to find that she felt to crappy to baby sit today, which was a bummer twofold. One that she was sick feeling, which is never fun, sounded like she was having similar sensations to those I feel when Gluten strikes. Secondly it was a bummer cause I had already made plans for Mark and Drew to come over, Stu also followed those Drew over to our abode. I had a most confusing night with them both being here. I'm not sure why but for some reason I just could not stop calling Stu - Drew, maybe cause their names end in uuuu but I dunno, it was quite confusing, but my brain fails to work frequently so life goes on.

Later in the evening, maybe an hour or so after they arrived my body informed that I had injested gluten @ Applebee's, so I had a fun bloated stomach and lots of enticing pain. The most painful bit was having to admit to myself that I had gluten @ Applebee's for I had argued with Jessica there that my food was not containing gluten, and even though the confused waiter (confused because he frequently brought water out for your drink refill regardless of what was in the cup, such as coke) had not mentioned my meal as gluten free. Ahh well, There is a lot of pride swallowing in this relationship, so much so that I think I need to pick up some more pride, Dunno where I could find anyone with some to spare though being that most people I know are nerds.

The rest of my Buhda bellied night was good as well, the ladies created for us a meal of salad and potatoes, then unfortunately got angry @ us for not diving after the food in a hasty enough matter, for which I am sorry, but am none the less truly confused at the anger over it. But it was a tasty meal and was followed by 40 year old virgin which I had not seen and totally enjoyed. I think I would have preferred seeing the non unrated version so that the jokes and timing could be quicker, but was very very funny.

And then I capped my night with some research into gluten free foods and found some really helpful websites, and a better list of what drinks I can ingest, which was nice. Plus I had some definitions rounded out for me about what foods I can or cannot have, basically if anything is iffy if it was made in the US it is prolly all good.

Everyone enjoy yur Sunday, make sure you don't do much and watch the playoff games, I sure as hell will be trying, but I imagine Jessica will be trying to stop me from enjoying said playoff games....to be continued

Satisfied

2006-01-10T17:57:00.000-06:00

Nice when dreams come tru. Herm Edwards is COMMNDAME! (more then likely only hamid will be able to read that word). And it thrills me to the core, We may actually be able to own next year if he makes our defense gangsta'. In other news been tearing up some Stargate and Magic the Gathering arse lately. Thereby making me possibly the nerdiest thing in this town (next to drew and kathy whose children are doomed to get their asses kikt). I don't really have all that much to post aboot this time. As I have not been doing much lately, happily apparently going to be getting a chance to hit the gym soon now that Jessica wants to go. Always fun to get bigger stronger faster and better looking.

Anywho haven't been up to anything, phone is acting nutty so I may not be getting messages anyone has been leaving me, have a super Tuesday

HYPED!

2006-01-05T01:31:00.001-06:00

I'm bloody psyched! So many sweet bits of information were waiting for me when I bermped around on the internet moments ago. First off, as everyone knows YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!! And that is what the Chiefs will be doing next year if everything goes as planned, Herm fxcking Edwards is supposed to be in contract negotiations, woohoo! I was just talking to umm maybe Mid maybe Mark maybe someone else all together that I wanted nothing more then to manage to get either him or Green Bay's Ex Coach rather then Saunders, and I got my first pick. SOOOOO AWESOME!

Secondly was randomly looking for a price on some random magic card and saw that the new GUILDPACT expansion is coming out on the third of February, (Bob thinks we should do an expansion draft tourny, gimme thoughts on that people). I'm excited about it, it supposedly has three new guilds, more gold cards obviously, and brand new, never before seen four color critters! wee! heh, hopefully it has some cool new lands. If anyone knows a website that lets me see what new cards it has please respond on my comments, gatherer did not yet have them up.

Thirdly I know most of you won't give a crap aboot this cause you thought the first one sucked, but Underworld Deuce comes out on the 20th, and being that Kate Beckinsale is my future homewrecker I am really excited to see her in leather anew! Plus it has "I FEEEEL IT IN MY FIIINGAHS I FEEEEL IT IN MY TOEEES!" who I always enjoy. Anywho that is all I have to comment on for now, gonna go check downstairs now and see if the silly amount of sex and the city watching is aboot over.

Happy Birthday ... day

2006-01-04T03:27:00.000-06:00

Today was Booble's birthday, well according to her the entire week has been her birthday, but we of sane mind know that only today was her birthday. Started it off with a nice late sleep in, followed with her getting her drivers license and me heading to mass to get her a purse. She managed to get back from the DMV in time to attempt to get her purse before I even arrived @ the store. Alas the B-day gods chose to punish her and there was no purse, then there was no book, then no one to eat sushi, then an angry put upon fiance'. But I think her day eventually ended up pretty solid, @least that is my hope. Hopefully we will be able to get her that purse, I believe if I manage to call the store when an actual manager is in place I can get some answers. In other news played a lil magic with Drew tonight and watched some more Stargate. The eps are actually getting pretty decent now, I would even say good. Sounds like she may be wanting to go to the gym again, which is sweet for me cause I would luv a reason to get back in the gym, assuming that we would go together that is. Which being that we have but the one car we tend to do many many things together.

For her birthday celebration I ingested some questionable sushi, not that this sushi in particular was questionable, but all sushi is by nature a questionable food. I choked it down as best I could, absorbed irritating amounts of Anthony and Jessica pestering to eat things I know I don't like and don't want to eat, then eventually escaped to borders, in order to get the book we could have gotten earlier in the day if someone cough-Jessica-cough had listened to me. Ran into Kevin Wilmott there, which is always fun. He made my day brighter with boisterous laughter and some story about his wife that I went and forget already.

Umm this was a boring post and the only things I would have to add are the boring things happening tommarah so I will just close it up right here, although wish Jessica luck she finds out if her ear works tommarah. Wee!

Just got back from........

It was a five day trip to Santa Clause, Indiana. Which is oddly in the middle of two different time zones, which seems to slow actual time progress to a stand still. I watched most of the first season of Stargate, which I presume involved nothing but female writers for the first season. Half its episodes were basically girl power, those episodes and about half of the remaining episodes were written chock full of plot holes. But there were a few decent eps, and I want to slog through these in hopes that kathy and drew are correct in that it does indeed improve. I've caught a few random eps on sci-fi that I enjoy, so I think the series will get somewhere eventually. Well it appears that New Years is gonna be blan for me. Jessica and I basically planned nothing and assumed something fun would be thought up by ourselves eventually or by others, but all that seems to have happened is a party over @ KT's ex or current or inbetween or I dunno boyfriend Steve's where I do not intend to go. So dunno what is gonna transpire, wish me luck.

I'm coming Jappers, watch out!

The Xmas shopping marathon didn't go as bad as I would have @first thought. We haven't taken care of everyone, and we totally forgot about some people, but we should be ready in time for Merry The Jews killed Jesus fun. <-- Edited by Mel Gibson. My feet were angry by the end of the day, but everything went smooth, and I made it home just in time for Mav's. They gave me a scare for a while but Ridirkulous eventually came through for me.

In other news the sweetest Taru since Vivi or whatever that dude's name/race was is back!

oop wait, maybe that's not him, ohh here he is!

Now I just have to wait for like three weeks for the update to be finished, then see if I still have an account, then play! weeee!

Long Live the King!

First I just want to express my glee in smashing Jyesika in the ongoing battle for comment domination. To date I have five comments on just my second blog, my chair is shaking from her frightened quaking (didn't want that to rhyme) in the bed. I got a chance to watch the Mav's own the Alphonso Craphouse out of Hamids lame sauce Sacramento Queen's (although he only liked them for Webber who is no longer there, I still feel I retain the right to give him crap for how truly shatty they are). And tommarah night they play again, and with Jerry Stackhouse back in the lineup! I'm excited, I'm sure Boobles is less than. I've got to go Xmas shopping tomorrow, aka I have to travel with Jys while she goes Xmas shopping. I've still got to find a present for her though, which is a biatch, cause I have no money, we share a banking account, and she is a bloody arteest so I can't just make her a crappy macaroni picture frame like I do for all my other ladies. I am actually sorta happy that Xmas time hath arrived though, but unfortunately it also means that the post Xmas trip to the Land fun forgot is fast approaching. Hopefully it will not be as bad as my daynightmares tell me, crossing my fingers. Anywho if I don't post here tommarah, have a merry Xmas, and if yur of the Hanukkah persuasion well, fek off! And stop taking my money ya bloody banking bastids!

P.S. Hamid stop hurting my luvva's feelings and post on her bloody site.

P. S. for the P.S. almost forgot to mention the fun conversation I had with Roland today. You just can't beat having a rap conversation with a hippy. Sillily we seem to like very similar rap artists, namely Nas, Jurassic Five, and De La Soul. He mentioned some uber rapper that I need to listen to, but I already forgot the name, so if anyone from Manhouse reads this please ask Roland and put the band in comments, anyone can comment now, fixed that.

Deep disappointment

I have been forced to rethink this 'engagement' thing, I gave my dearest Miss Jessica the following quotes that I randomly read on a site, feeling they were funny. "Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did. Chuck Norris only masturbates to pictures of Chuck Norris". To which she replied "Who is Chuck Norris." Now admittedly the Chuckster is pretty damn lame, but Chumon, who doesn't know the Texas Bloody Ranger, He kicks the foreign outta baddies all the time. Has a bagazillion crappy action movies, and he is in Dodgeball - amongst the greatest cinema masterpieces of all time. But considering Momma Harry decided they should live the 80's and early 90's in a real life little house on the prairie I can see how this happened. So I suppose I must forgive her, but still, CHUCK EFFIN NORRIS! On a happier note, Tina Bopper (Michaels <-Jessica's brother> girl acquaintance Tina) and Smart and Pretty (Katherine <-Jessica's sister>) made me a tasty not entirely poisonous meal tonight, and I was able to play some magic with only mild harassment from Jessica. And I managed to run into an old pally from KU, Kelly Verbal. Didn't get to talk much, for I was working @ the time. I had to work POS Bagger, and that's point of sales, but it really means what it looks like. It was not to bad though, gotta work with Tim, which I don't often get to, he's a nice chap. Welp bored of typing now.... stop reading.... go watch some free internet porn

gotta put a post script in here. Whilst trying to make this post Hamid asked me if I "Made out with her" which is so juvenile and awesome I just had to include it.

I un-pansied most of this website's look. Hungry and angry that I have gone 24 hours without wasting my time playing Magic. Had a fairly good first part of meh day. Watched Jessica's cute buns paint culturally PC children on the walls whilst I layout on the floor and effed with my Magic decks. Then eventually went home, sat around hungry for a while until we decided to go waste money on Gluten free, probably tastes like dirt, products from the HIV. It was fun for a bit, til we started going through the actual isles and it kicked in how much food I was not gonna be eating till I'm 60 (@which time I will have decided that I am old enough that may as well bring on death and eat some tasty treats). Bloody Corn bread has wheat in it, corn flakes, rice cakes, etc etc etc. I can't even have my favorite chip of all time, PRINGLES! I'm gonna miss that stached buddy of mine. Anywho tired of typing, and I can feel the presence of Jessica lurking behind me, prolly happy that she sees me typing on a blog, but now that I look @ her she seems to be obliviously just scratching herself like a female Al Bundy.
