Is it true!?

I am so happy today is Friday. All week I have been looking forward to this day. Not that there is anything going on this weekend. I'm just happy that the week is over. See I hate working. Getting up to go and hang out with a bunch of people in an office is not my ideal of a good time. If I had a million dollars or enough money to matter I would do nothing. Ahhhh, what a dream.

I love Kidd Coffee. I don't know if I have told you this before but I do. Kidd Coffee is a small coffee seller in the Mason, Ohio area and boy do the beat the hell out of Starbucks. First they are cheaper priced than 'bigbucks' and there coffees taste much better. I just wish they had one in the shit hole city I live in. The owner works in the shop I go to and I mentioned to him that he should open one on my side of town. He asked me if there were any good locations. Of course all the good locations are taken unless you want your shop neighbors to be a crack house.

Well I have been playing around with the shell replacement Litestep again. I finally found a theme I like for it. Its so simple and small. All it has is a task bar and system tray. There is no system meters or calenders. None of that stuff that crowds up your desktop. If you haven't given a replacement shell for you Windows computer a try I suggest going out and getting one. You will be so surprised by how flexible you can make your Windows computer.

Pastries

Last night the Lady and I went to the bakers place to pick out our cake for the wedding. This was fun. She let us taste all of the flavors that she had already made up and available. She told us that anything we wanted we could have, the sky is the limit. If we wanted peanut butter and jelly for a flavor of cakes that we would get it. We chose to go with a 4 layer cake. The bottom layer will be strawberry and white chocolate. The second layer will be pineapple with pina colata cream. And the third and fourth layer will be chocolate truffle. The cake will be garnished in fresh strawberries and blueberries with fresh stings of mint going around the bottom of it. Since this is a summer wedding we wanted something that would be summer like. Plus we really didn't want to have just the boring white and chocolate cakes that most seem to get.

On another topic, is this week going fast or what? Just yesterday I was thinking man, this day flew by. Now its hump day and its already pushing its way to five. Lets hope the rest of the week goes this quickly. I've added a new page to this blog site. Cd Chat is the link above, and inside I'm going to post the newest albums I have purchased either from a retail store or from Apple iTunes. After listening to them for some days ill post my review and opinion on each album and open the comments up for anyone that wants to comment about which ever album. I hope everyone will have some input on it. I know my taste in music can be one sided at times but I do listen to a wide range of music. Which, surprisingly enough, does not include country music.

My List

So I was watching some Friends(third season) over the weekend. One of the episodes that was on was Frank, Jr. the one were Ross makes a list of 5 women celebrities he'd want to have "relations" with. Well this got me started thinking of my 5 women celebrities. So here is mine.

1. Christina Aguilera - Oh my god i would sell my left pinky toe for a chance!(not really)

2. Tara Reid - She is a party girl and would probably be open to alot.

3. Alyssa Milano - Have you seen those sweater pals she has going on!

4. Elisha Cuthbert - ever since the movie The Girl Next Door

5. Shannon Elizabeth - She has the girl next door thing going on.

So there it is. My top five. Do you have a top five? If so what is it?

Angels Bowling

This morning I was awoken by the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning. I love to sleep during storms. There is something about it that just knocks me out. When I was younger I hated them but that could be that I was young. Or even maybe because I had a pull down blind in my room that refused to stay down when you put it there. imagine, laying in bed all cozy, waiting for the gentile hands of sleep to take you off to dream land. When suddenly there is a snap and a sound of flapping with a flash of light. Being 6, it scarred the living hell out of me. I would run out of the room thinking I was already caught by the creature that was trying to get me. It was true horror. Later in my life i learned that it was just a faulty blind. Surpisingly so, when we would change it out for a new one with a better locking mechanisim it would still continue. God I love storms.

Happy Holidays

There are some holidays that span the globe. Christmas, Haloween, New Years Day. But there is one that has not yet made its rounds. This holiday I speak of is the day for celebration. The day to kick back with your cool Coors 64oz and say yep! i'm a slacker, and damn proud of it!

This day is April 20th. Now some will say that this is a ficticious holiday. But I would argue that it's only fake if no one other than you celebrate it. But in fact, I know a lot of people that celebrate April 20th. Some of these people live in another country other than the USA. While others live right here in the same dump of a city I live in.

So as you sit back and elevate your mind to a place in the cosmos. Please remember to be safe and never, never, NEVER celebrate with out a good supply of munchies.

Before I go, a friend of mine, Rhonda over at Rhonda's World send me this link to this article about the great number 420.

Quick update

There is a new pope. He was elected around 12:12pm today. Well that is when i heard the news anyway.

Holding Hands

This is such a pain in my ass. Look, when you came in here last week with some instruments for repair you placed them where I said to. It never changes! Now today I have to direct you to the same damn place!? Come on! Just put them where you put them last week and be done with it. Do I have to always get up and show you were to place them. Its like I have to hold your freaking hand every time! Just bring them in and put them somewhere. I'm not trying to be mean about it but I shouldn't have to remind you on this. Also, if I'm on the phone talking to someone do you really think I want to talk to you. If you see me on the phone you should automatically realize that i'm busy. Regardless if its a customer or a family member on a company phone or my private mobile. Just come back in a few minutes and tell me then. Or here is a novel ideal, write it down and place it on my desk in front of me. Don't just stand there and stare at me like I have a banana slug on my face. Damn!

Last night

Well tonight is my last night in D.C. Tomorrow i'm flying back to Cincy for a weekend of pure fun with the lady I love so much. This show was not anything I thought it would be to set up. It went pretty smoothly really. We had some snags but nothing serious. One of the snags we had was having a PAL video camera hooked up to a NTSC flat panel TV monitor. If you don't know what this means. It basically means that we were trying to hook up a ice maker to a swimming pool. Both have to do with water, but you cant swim in a ice maker and you cant make ice in a pool. Last I heard, they were still looking for a PAL monitor. Talk about beautifully, this place is nice during the spring. All the cherry blossoms are in and the place has a constant smell of flowers. This has to be peak tourist season.

When we finally got back to the hotel we agreed to meet in the lobby at 7:00 well that didn't work. I got a call earlier from a coworker they they were sitting at a sushi bar, so that is where I headed to. I always forget how sexy japaneese women are, and how good the beer is. I didn't get anything to eat because first i'm not to big on raw fish and second I tend to not have a large appetite when traveling. It's kinda like lunch is about it. After that i'm done for the day.

I heard on the news this morning that someone was stabbed and robbed for his iPod. What the hell is that about? Is the iPod the new sneaker? They didn't take his money or any other belongings just his iPod. All this crime in our nations capital.

speaking of being done for the day. I think this post is. I hear the hotel bar calling my name.

Not what you think

If there is one thing I really don't like it's traveling. Today i'm in Washington D.C. the nations capitol. I'm here for my work, there is a trade show that I am setting up for the company I work for. We arrived at 9:12 this morning and after getting something to eat we got right to work. At about 6 o'clock we finished for the day and are going to meet at 9:00 in the morning then were going to work up until its done. I'm thinking of leaving earlier if I can. If by some grace from god I can get a red eye out on Friday I may take it. I really hate to be away from home.

So today I was reminded of why I don't live or work in the big city. Bums. I'm sure they are nice people but they are annoying as hell. Today while eating at a local restaurant one came in and sat down at a table next to us. She then leaned over and asked one of my coworkers if he would buy her a soda. When he said no, she then went thru the whole table. After being said no to many times she rested I guess trying to think of a new way of asking for charity. When she came up with a new way she then leaned over and proceeded to ask for a burger. Of course we all said no and I was close to telling the woman to either leave us alone or suffer the wrath. What wrath I could muster I should say.

Just now I want to tell you some guy was just opening my door. He said the desk gave him my room. I really hate to travel.

Only you can save Toby

This morning I would like to take a moment and tell you about a poor little creature that is about to meet its maker. Toby will soon be dead at the hands of his owner. Why you ask? because the owner is a greedy little bastard. You see, Toby is a cute bunny rabbit, or as the his owner says "Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet." and on June 30th of this year Toby will be killed and eaten. "Unfortunately, on June 30th, 2005, Toby will die. I am going to eat him." is what is written on the site along with "However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account..."

Why would anyone want to eat this cute little guy is beyond me. But if you ask me if I would eat him I would have to say, yes. I would rip the meat right off his cute little bones and soak up the gravy on a piece of bread. But lets hope this never happens. Goto savetoby.com and help this little guy out.

Thanks For The Gift

I love my pets. I have a Boston Terrier that has the best personality. Well it's really my ladies dog but I claim it also. Along with the Dog which her name is Lucy, I have 3 Cats. One of the cats name is Thomas. He is your typical tom cat. He is a orange tabby and loves to be out side. He comes in when he is hungry and/or needs to be loved on or just to rest and then its back outside for the pussy catting around that he does. Well this morning on my walk to my car. We have a detatched garage. Yes I know that is ghetto, but that is the way it is. Anyway, on my walk to my car I look down and what do I see? You guessed it, a mouse. Not a live mouse, this one is long dead. Looked like Thomas had his fun chomping on his head. So instead of being grossed out and then yell at him, I praise him. What a good kitty! he is always trying to earn his keep. Keep up the good work Thomas the cat, and you are sure to be the favorite.

Free Ride is Over

Well I am constantly learning new things. This weekend I learned that after the second burn you should have learned. I let a family member borrow my camping tent. Its a nice eureka glacier Bay two sleeper. It cost me a pretty penny and I really enjoy it. Well I let my nephew take it thinking it was going to someone else. My nephew wanted to use it and his brother came and swiped it out from underneath him. I thought his brother was picking it up for him. Nope, not this time. I was told I would have it back on Sunday. Guess what, I didn't have it. Looks like I wont let this person borrow shit from me again. He once borrowed a nice 25 ton car jack from me. Not only did I never get it back, I found out it was broken not 1 year later. Sometimes I wonder if i'm to nice to people.

What a Weekend!

Well we just came in from doing yard work. Wow! the flower beds were full of weeds. Last year we only had in front of the house. Then half way thru the summer we planted more around the side and back. But never really mulched or anything. So we decided that we would start in the back and work our way around. We got new bulbs planted and some mums and then we mulched. unfortunately we didn't get to finished. The boy and lady were all red from the sunscreen failing on us. I guess those expiration dates are for real. Tomorrow we finish around the front and then sit back and wait till summer to do it again!

One year at a time

So as many of you know today is my birthday. I have never been a fan of my birthday. Or any birthday at that. What is the big deal about this day? why would you want to celebrate the day that reminds you that your one year closer to the grave? When your younger its not that big of a deal. You get a few small gifts and play like normal. Even when I was younger, starting about 15 I didn't like my birthday. People making a fuss about it. Buying cakes, wrapping presents singing songs. If you have to make a cake then make it for the choice to make it. If you must get a present then please remember, this is the day that pushes you into the future so don't buy something that you wont use tomorrow. As far as singing goes, you probably have a terrible singing voice. So keep it to yourself.

Today also is the eleventh anniversary for the death of nirvanas lead man Curt Cobain. I still maintain that he was killed by his crack whore of a wife Courtney Love. She was jealous of his fame and had to do something about it. Did you notice how big she got afterwards? I'm not talking about Anna Nicole Smith big. I'm talking about carrier big. She got her album, stared in a few movies, made it into the celeb mags. All for the price of her husbands head. The husband that paved the road for many of todays big bands. Just think, do you think there would be a Foo Fighters if he wasn't dead?

There comes a time in a mans life

So as you may or may not know. My lovely lady and I are getting married. We decided theres no reason to have a big fancy wedding with flowers and brides maids and groomsmen. So instead we are having a informal wedding in a garden on the campus of Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Then onto the reception at my parents house which will be just a big'ol party. Nothing fancy nothing outrageous, just good times.

We did our gift registry already also. We got tired real quick of people asking, 'are you registered anywhere yet?'. So we did it this weekend. It was so much fun. Picking out crap that you would like to have but have no chance in hell of ever getting. The places we went to do this at we feel are very reasonable. The places we went to are Bed Bath and Beyond and Target. You can buy online and have the gifts sent to us. So all my faithful readers. Buy us wedding gifts! We've done all the work, all you have to do is pay for them.

It So Pisses Me Off

One of my biggest pet peeves is when i'm at a 4 way stop, or as they call it in my part of town an "All Way" stop. I think its called this because only a quarter of the city can read numbers, or maybe its a way to speak to them in the language they understand. You must all way stop. I don't know. Well when i'm at one of these stops and I wait for my turn to come up and when I go and take it, someone else thinks Nahhhhh ill go instead and then you can go. I think from now on when I have my turn to move thru the "all way" stop sign im just going to gun it. If anyone is in my way they are going to get hit. If you try and cut in to my turn then your going to have to pay the piper.
