Each player of this game starts with the "6 weird things about you". People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
Here are my six; 1. I break toothpicks in half to use. I always do this. I have no real idea why either.
2. I count. I don't know if this is weird, maybe is, dunno. But I count everything when something is hard to do. Like if I am carrying something heavy, to get through it, i'll count the steps so that I don't focus on the heaviness of the item. I know it is also a sign of OCD too.
3. I like uncooked top ramen. Not lately though, teeth issues. But i will eat it in it's uncooked crunchiness. it is good.
4. crackers with butter on them, one of my favorite little kid snacks. explains why i go to the gym twice a day now.
5. I am an attention whore. I chalk this one up to the fact that my father died when i was young and my mom wasn't all that touchy feely. But i need "atta-boy" pats all the time to know that
6. I can actually change my mood in the blink of an eye. I can go from a pissed off bad mood to a great happy mood. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The girl doesn't like it as i am a little unpredictable at times.
This was actually harder then I thought it would be. Hmm.
I love watching football, playing football and coaching football.
I am watching my Seahawks on Monday Night Football right now and there is something that I just learned that I have to share. It wasn't a new rule, it wasn't a name of a great player or even an odd stat that just needs to be shared. What is it then? Well, I learned that Jimmy Kimmel likes to BBQ ribs for his friends when they come over. Also, I learned that he used to live in Seattle.
What i am getting at is that Monday Night Football sucks ass now. I'd rather listen to the radio. I am dead serious. It isn't about the football anymore it's about entertainment. And it is sad now.
So I am curious, if there is anyone reading this that is a fan of NFL football please let me know, what do you think of the new way they do Monday Night Football? Let me know.
there you go. I've officially completed my first day of gym in the AM, work and Gym in the PM. I had a serious blood sugar drop when I got home, so i need to rethink my post workout meal, but I made it and it feels good.
I did not move from the couch Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Literally. I did do all our laundry though. I did go to the gym and have a helluva workout Saturday morning on my own. But other then that, the left side of the couch is a little flatter, due to my ass kicking it there all freakin weekend.
Today I started something new. I got up at 5 to go to the gym and do a half hour of cardio on the treadmill. I know, insance huh? But, since I bitch so much about losing weight and I go to the gym to lift weights 4-5 times a week I needed to add cardio into my routine. And, i know that doing it early AM before food always works the best for me. Plus, i'm awake when i get to work instead of waking up.
Now that Thanksgiving is behind, i don't think we have any real big plans to speak of. See, the girl and I don't decorate or celebrate x-mas really. We do get presents for the kids in the family but that is mainly just to keep the peace. And we do get each other a present or two but we don't really "celebrate" the holiday. I don't know how to explain it.
Anyways, it'll be nice to get a solid routine going again. Something like this; Monday: Gym at 5am, work till 3:30, Gym till 5pm, Home by 6 Tuesday: Gym at 5am, work till 3:30, Gym till 5pm, Home by 6 Wednesday: Gym at 5am, work till 3:30, whatever i want! Thursday: Gym at 5am, work till 3:30, Gym till 5pm, Home by 6 Friday: Gym at 5am, work till 3:30, Gym till 5pm, Home by 6
So here is to a good week beginning. Hope yours is too!
I just finished watching the movie Click. With Adam Sandler and that universal remote. Two things stick in my head after the movie... 1. Christopher Walken can make a movie. Seriously, the movie was cute and funny, not great. But the moments he was on screen were awesome to me. He's my hero and hopefully our next president (no, i am not serious).
2. Kate Beckinsale is too hot to play Adams wife. Way too hot. She is so outta his league and I just don't see it. She is just too hot. They shouldn't of shot so high, i didn't believe it.
This was our first thanksgiving at our house. We bought the house a year and a half ago but we didn't have it here last year, see my previous post and you'l understand. So this year was awesome, we were excited, i literally woke up thursday at about 5.30 and started straightening and cleaning the house. I am kinda an asshole when i am cleaning, i dunno, it's just me. so i usually get up early and do it while the girl is still asleep or when she's gone. Yeah, weird, I know. Anyways. So since we were having company, her parents and my mom and brother, we needed a dining room table. We have a four person kitchen table, but we needed the big table. So we went to St. Vincents and found this treasure for only $220. Yes all 6 chairs included. The table has curved legs that go out to claw feet with little wheels under them. It is a kickass table and it has a scratch or two on it but overall i'd say it was in 95-98% great condition. It was a steal. Now the chairs, there are six total, 3 with gold striped seats, 2 with green and one with red. But the chairs are identical except for the fabric on the seats. Also, they come off, no screws in them. they are attached by little dowels. Kickass. Everyone was blown away with how cheap the table and chairs were. I've looked at places for new sets, we'd of spent $6-700 easy. Well this was the girls first holiday dinner for me. She'd cooked them before, but this was the first she'd done since we have been together. I know she's a great cook, afterall i have the belly to prove it, but this was the first BIG meal she'd done for me. needless to say, she kicked ass. It was perfect. She rocked the bird, the potatoes, everything. I'd say she nailed the whole dinner. She rocks. Anyways, here is the table with all the fixins on it, you can see one end has a bottle of wine and the other has a bottle of beer, bet ya can't guess which end I sat at? ha. Well this year my mom got to help clean up, she got to help the girl in the kitchen a little before dinner and she got to sit and relax and enjoy the company without being made to feel like an old lady. She turns 70 in february, not 90. My brother really hit it off with the girls dad too. Brother J was in a super good mood so it made the visiting part a lot of fun. He was happy and joking a lot. We had football on but to be honest, between me, brother J and father p, we didn't watch too much of it, we chatted a lot. it was a blast. then when the girls mom got there after work, mother wen works for a hotel, so she still had to take care of guests in the morning, anyways, we all got along great. it was awesome. a great day!
I could not be in a better mood this morning. And, I literally just turned on my happy light. Interesting how I could wake up in such a good mood on such a dark and rainy day. Hmm. Right now, I am listening to good heavy music. I am drinking an awesome cup of coffee and the phones have only rang once since I have been in. This could be a tremendous day! Anways...
So my family used to get together for Thanksgiving. It was OUR holiday. This was the one that we all made sure we were there for. That way the in-laws could have everyone for Xmas and we didn't have to worry about hurting anyones feelings. well, my sister J passed away and she was the glue that held this family together. Literally, since then, we've gotten together once. At my wedding. They all came up, but i didn't know they were coming till the day before. My brother J, sister K and our mother are really the only family I worry about keeping in touch with. My sister J had three kids and i was raised so close to them that they were kinda like my siblings rather then niece and nephews. But now, they have their lives, their worries, their issues to deal with and it seems that since we don't have a common place to gather or person to pull us in, we don't bother. Well, i've emailed and tried some to get in touch with them, but i haven't really gotten responses. So it hurt, but i kinda let it go. Kinda. Well my nephew, the one closest to me, emailed about us not getting together for thanksgiving with them. He didn't go into specifics but i kinda assume they all pissy about me not coming down. Well, i can't go to that house and relax. My sister died there. They hang out there and have established new memories. When I walk through that door i expect to see her smiling at me and waiting for a hug. It's hard. I know thats a stupid excuse but it is true. Also, my mom doesn't really want to go over there either. She didn't enjoy last years, it was too hard on her and everyone kinda treated her like a frail old lady and she hated it. Then my brother, he lives close to them and tries hard to keep in touch but after 4 or 5 calls with no call backs, you get the hint. So, i invited mom, brother j and my girls parents to our house for thanksgiving dinner. The girls parents will love it. My mom and her mom hit it off like gangbusters and the girls dad, he loves it when he can sit back, relax at a quiet house and be treated like a king. my brother and he will get along great too. I'm excited for this thanksgiving. I feel a little bad that they all can't come to my house, but i am pretty much done with trying to invite or keep in touch. i send emails or messages and don't get any responses. you know, it just might be time to grow apart i guess. and you know, there might not be anything wrong with that. i'll miss them. but really, my bills have to be paid whether they are in my life or not. my dogs need food and pills everyday whether my family makes time to chat with me. so life is OK. i'm exited for thursday. are you?
so this morning i am dealing with the following things.....
1. blue tooth key board refusing to wake the fuck up when i want it to. for some reason if i go for more then a couple minutes and hit a number on the ten key, it closes whatever application i have open. piece of shit.
2. blogger nav bar at the top is really pissing me off. i hate when i have the convenience of something then it is taken away.
3. i get an error every time i open the IE tools menu. completely (supposedly) unrelated to the browser is the error. it is a driver for a tablet, i have no clue why it would error in IE.
4. my phone won't send texts. i get errors, different ones each time. then i can't log into sprints site either.
5. the coffee that was made this morning here, tasted like shit and i too broke to walk down the street to starbucks.
6. i have gotten 29 junk emails this morning and they are all reporting to me the latest and greatest stock secret, i should be amazed!
7. all our companies websites are down and i have been reported this by everyone in the company. even though i sent out an IM and email that I already know.
8. one of our people keep scheduling me calls to follow up on guys that work with me like i am supposed to be their supervisor. but i am constantly reminded that i am not. so i keep shooting those back to them and they keep scheduling more for me.
9. i can't think of another one but want an even 10 on my list of things this morning.
10. i ate a lot of crap this weekend and feel fat as hell today. maybe it was all the beer i drank or something i don't know. but i not comfortable.
I do like the new tab browsing. I use to use firefox but, long story short, i used IE at home so i switched back here at work. Well the new IE7 is pretty cool except that i feel like my install of it is all buggy. The blogger navbar at the top, if you click the sign in link, it only refreshes that frame at the top instead of the whole page. It all doesn't show when I am logged in and honestly, it was real cool how it allowed me to hit that link to create a new post. oh well, guess i'll get used to it.
Lets get the hell out of there. Fuck em. Leave em. Who cares. We have lost too many good soldiers over there and I don't see the point anymore. No i am not educated on all the facts of this "war". But how many Americans are? How many of the general public actually know all the details of this war? I bet not many.
We're all tired of it already. It is time for us to cut our losses and pull out. With all these stories of big oil companies doing work for the armed services over there and the hiring of enforcement teams that are making life a little more dangerous for our guys it is getting old.
I have had a friend who was over there. He was a great man and lost his life. He first joined up to go help defend our country and help make a difference. He was over there for less then a year, just under. He was a scout and was the type of guy that loved the action and being on the front line. he was cool. i liked him a lot. we were pretty darn close in high school, drifted apart and just started getting to know each other again via myspace while he was stationed over there. he was jacked up about coming home, thought it was stupid to be there. kept saying how this was pointless and how we should just let em kill each other. they hated the military and the "hired enforcement teams" that we had working for us were making things more dangerous.
Anyways, i miss his emails and i blame Bush for his death. I might and probably am wrong, but i don't care. I blame him.
1. Megadeth - Anarchy in the U.K. 2. Pantera - Onward We Rock 3. Sepultura - Desperate Cry 4. Tool - Sober 5. Sub Dub Micromachine - Legoland Brennt 6. Diecast - Remember the Fallen 7. Hatebreed - Destroy Everything 8. Megadeth - Poison Was the Cure 9. Moonspell - How We Became Fire 10. Hatebreed - Before Dishonor
It was a heavy day for me I guess. Well, heavy to me. Anyways, looks like i'll be seeing Slayer, again. I am not a HUGE fan of Slayer, but i've seen them 3 times now. My girl is a big Slayer fan. No, let me say that again...
My girl is THE biggest Slayer fan. Actually, let me try this one more time...
SHE IS THE BIGGEST SLAYER FAN EVER!
And by "big" i do not mean she's fat. She knows everything about them and has seen them around 376 thousand times live in concert. I think she'd leave me for their lead singer Tom Araya if he'd ask her too.
Anyways, Slayer Launches 20 City U.S. Winter Tour. No dates set close to us yet, but i bet i'll be catching em sometime early next year as I am sure this will be a huge success so they'll head back out for some more dates and locations. Oh well, I always find a new band I like when we catch their shows, afterall, how do you think I found Hatebreed. The best new band of all.
My boss, interesting fella to say the least. Today was busy, real busy. He was in meetings all day long however so he hadn't heard the phone ring at all. We have one guy leave early for personal reasons, we have another leave early as they always leave early on fridays and we have another go home sick. Leaves me and just one other tech to deal with the idiots, i mean customers, on the phones. this other guy is a huge pain in my ass (story for another day) and not much help anyways. well, bossman comes in and asks him if he is doing anything important, he replies with "nope". so the bossman grabs him and they go for a "ride" in his new porche. there is something "odd" with the way it drives and he thinks this guy knows so much about cars that he wants his opinion.
two things get me... 1. this fucker doesn't know anything about cars. he bullshits his way through everything. just because he used to rip off parts from car lots and sell them to friends doesn't mean he is a "car-guy". 2. that left me alone on the phones. i was buried alive. i hate feeling busy. i hate hate hate feeling like that. it is friday, end of day and i have customers getting backed up. that ain't fair to them either.
but you know what, i secretly laugh at him anyways, his pants are too short. literally, above the ankles. not to mention he hikes em up almost to the nipple now. why as he got older he pulled his pants up higher i don't know. oh well. friday, time to go. i shall drink vodka tonight!
I still think she's cute as hell. Even if she gets on a lot of peoples nerves. She doesn't bother me though. I see her as a very sincere person, i don't think she is "faking" her good girl attitude. I genuinely believe she is a good person. Besides, she's got an awesome butt! And I am one helluva butt guy.
One trick you may not have thought of: Hit the shower. A shower can help you snooze. Taking a hot bath or shower before you hit the hay has long been thought to provide deeper, more restful sleep (and is certainly worth a try). But new studies with animals show that just the opposite -- cooling the brain -- results in a deep REM sleep. Cold shower, anyone?
I knew it. So I can officially tell my girl that keeping the bedroom cooler is better for us sleep-wise. Nice. I win!
Sorry for the blurry pic but it was the best i could do this morning. Oh well... This shot is of my hand, left one in fact, i have a matching set. Odd, yes I know. Anyways, don't know if you can tell in this photo but i have wrinkly skin, not gross like or anything. But it is wrinkly (if that's a word) to the point that it looks like my hands are actually too small for the suit of skin they are wearing. When i get gloves, i get mens mediums. I like them tight anyways but they fit perfect. So imagine a guy that is 6'1" tall and weighs over 260 lbs and he wears mens size medium gloves...yeah.
Since this shot was so bad, i thought I'd put up an oldy but goody. Man did I love taking this photo, it was fun. She does have a fantastic ass though. I always tell her that her jeans are not good but jeans, she just has an ass that makes all jeans look good, yeah, she's lucky. Ha.
I had a customer tell me this morning that if his boss were to actually give him a week to finish the setup on this program "boy could I walk the dog out of it!"
10. i will use the same plastic spoon at work for my applesauce cup and yogurt. I will also use the same spoon for the entire week getting a "fresh" one on Mondays.
9. i use a light therapy lamp at work. full spectrum light is what it gives off, blah, blah, blah, it makes me happy. I have it beside my monitor and it shines in my face. weird, but it works and makes me happy, so shut it up!
8. i stumbled upon a site for Christopher Walken in 2008, i assume it is a joke site. pretending to campaign for him. i secretly wish it were true.
7. i take an abnormally large amount of photos of myself and delete them off the camera. i think i am a little too obsessed with myself, but in all the wrong ways.
6. i tripped and chipped a tooth over 8 years ago. just beside one of my front teeth. since then, i haven't had the insurance to pay for fixing it.
5. my dad was/is my superman. he died when i was 14 and i still have not come to grips with it. i miss him on a regular basis. every single day i think about him and wish i could've known him as a man.
4. we have a picture wall in our house. 70% of the photos are of my girl. she is the best looking woman i have ever been with and sometimes i worry that i am not good enough for her. then i catch myself in the mirror and i remember, oh yeah, i'm hot too! (i crack myself up)
3. i used to steal stamps from work.
2. it has been over a year since i quit smoking. i sometimes think i should quit drinking too. especially when i polish off 4 beers in one evening. too easy to just sit and drink em.
1. my parents had six kids; 4 boys and 2 girls. Brother B - died of cancer back in the mid 80's Sister J - committed suicide a little over a year ago Brother R - died of a multitude of complications due to hepC contracted in the Vietnam war inoculations Brother J - still alive and kicking Sister K - she's still here too Lil Brother Me - yep, i'm still alive too
The phrase "you are what you eat" comes to mind every single time i grab a thing of yogurt. Maybe it's the name of the yogurt i eat... what do you think?
We got married on Saturday September 23rd of 2006. It was also the first day of fall. The weather had been rainy and kinda chilly (50's and 60's) throughout the week so we were a little nervous. But the local T.V. weather guy assured us that we would have a great temps as he remarked about not being invited live on the morning news program. Looking back, we should've invited him.
I had done some serious work in the yard to enhance the color and the beauty out there and everyone was amazed when they came into our yard and remarked how "garden-like" everything looked. That was the plan. Getting married in our own backyard wasn't plan #1 but certainly became the best plan ever. We were able to be comfortable and enjoy the ceremony and reception. Plus our friends and family were flat out awesome. They really pitched in and helped out. We have one close friend that is a wedding coordinator and when she saw things going a little sideways she jumped in, took over and just ran everything. it was so cool.
So we were married by a friend who got ordained online to marry us. Reverend Bob. Her middle name is Roberta and we've always called her Bob. So now she's Reverend Bob. She wrote her own speech and did a wonderful job, even though she was shaking so bad i thought i was gonna have to grab her. We then read something that meant a lot to each of us to the other person, she read from a book that i gave her a long time ago called "i like you". i'll post things up from up later. It's really cute. Everyone wanted to know where to get the book. I wrote my own reading for her. It was hard but it was something i needed to do.
Afterwards, we were announced and we stepped down and everyone clapped. the girl threw her hand up and yelled "we win" and the photographer got that moment perfectly. It was awesome. It was truly a wonderful day and it made me feel blessed to have so many people there for us. I/we are lucky to say the least.
i only wish everyone could have such a wedding where they feel so loved and adored by everyone in their lives. my friends and family are an honorable treasure and i don't ever forget it. Also, make your most important rule for your wedding that you allow everyone to be comfortable. Don't make it a tux and long train wedding. Our wedding coordinator friend said to remember, do you really wanna spend $2000 on a dress you aren't going to be comfy in and only wear for 20 minutes? Keep it relaxed and your friends will enjoy the day as well.

Chuck Norris took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you're thinking to yourself, "That's impossible, I already lost my virginity.", then you are dead wrong.
can you see it? right there, just to the left but a little to the right too. see it right there? it's kinda red, blue, purple and sometimes orange. it smells really nice and makes you feel warm deep down inside. to touch it, oh man, to touch it is to touch heaven itself. so, you see it? you see the love between us? well, do you?
I put my wedding ring on (yep i'm taken) in the morning and it fits perfectly, maybe a bit too tight. But i can live with it. Sometime after lunch i seem to lose a lot of weight and the freakin thing falls off all the time. I must retain water or something over night. it is so weird. well today i was walking down the hall, it fell off, i kicked it and it shot about 30-40 feet out in front of me and hit a woman in the shoe as she walked past. she jumped up in the air and shrieked.
so surfin around lead me to wednesday girl. she had a post about an inner critic and her need to count things...
for those that don't know me personally you wouldn't know, but i am an asshole when it comes to deviations from my plans. i literally plan everything throughout my day. i also obsessively count things; steps, breathes, etc...
for example, in the morning, i wake up, plan out what i am going to do when i roll out of bed 1. shower 2. brush teeth 3. contacts 4. clothes 5. pack lunch 6. breakfast 7. etc... and then finally i can get up, but only after i've gone through this plan.
it can get pretty bad. imagine on the day that i am leaving for a trip. i have to pack laptop bag. print maps, get all phone numbers, make calls to verify contacts, etc... even at home, pack bag with an extra days worth of clothes just in case. it all gets ridiculous. not to mention how much of an asshole i become if something gets in my way. also, imagine me cleaning house. i can't just clean a single room at a time. i end up picking up shoes, then along the way i see a sock, then a cup, then a hair brush, next thing you know i need a shopping cart to move things around in the house. when we clean house together, which isn't very often, the girl usually wears her head phones so she doesn't have to listen to me bitch about shit. it could be a pile of things i left out and i will cuss and moan about it. even though i am complaining about myself being lazy, she still gets aggravated by it and it just best we not work on things like that together. think about this one, try mowing my lawn. it is huge and there are a million different patterns you could use to mow it. start in this corner or that one. go to the left or the right first. it is so hard to just go........
sometimes, being me, sucks big time. i just wish i could be a little happier with myself and the decisions i make so i wasn't so critical. it's like i have a guy in here criticizing all my choices. fucking asshole.
I absolutely love myspace. seriously. i could spend hours and hours surfing through friends, links and searches. it is hilarious some of the pictures and things people put on their myspace profile. i have to admit, i have one. i used it at first to keep in touch with my football players (adult league), it allowed me to send messages to all of them at the same time. through it though i found my BEST friend from high school and she got me in touch with all my other friends. Unfortunately we had a reunion of sorts due to one of our very good friends losing his life in iraq. but myspace really helped pass info on services and other get togethers. so, myspace, check it out, it ain't just for teenagers anymore...although i am trying to keep my myspace friends separate from my blogger friends. i'd rather my players not know about the blog.
I have this shirt. It is green, which is my second favorite color next to clear of course. It is only a year old but it looks older since it shrunk a bit, well i got bigger too. It has peter griffin from the family guy on it and it says "everybody loves a big guy". Tell me that isn't awesome.
My best friend and gym partner calls me big guy all the time and he started this before the shrit came into play. what can i say, i like the shirt. and besides, who doens't love a big guy anyways!
right now i am listening to Whitesnake - Looking For Love, i know. it is on the net radio station i listen to. i can also hear a dog barking outside and there is a guy at the bench below my window yelling. he has literally been yelling all day. i think he is part yetti. at least that is how he sounds. weird.
Last Friday I went to Portland with the girl and we attended a metal concert which really blew me away again...
The lineup; Agalloch - this is a local Portland band. They do play good music but I just didn't care for the guys vocals. I know that the band suffered being the opener to the opener but they just didn't do it for me. Not to mention the old last song destroying the guitar string antics of their ax grinder...who then put his glasses and jean jacket back on and looked like he was heading back to the programmers wing. Day Light Dies - never really got me going either. It might have been the music or the venue but they just didn't seem like they wanted to be there. Not to mention they looked like a bunch of rednecks. I just didn't care for them. but hey, i am sure there are people that would die for them. Katatonia - my new favorite band from Stockholm Sweden. i am dead serious. i am downloading their discography as i write this. this band rocked the joint and i am now a huge huge fan. i loved the heavy music with the lead singers vocals. even in a shitty joint with horrible sound they blew me out of my seat. this band kicks ass. seriously. Moonspell - what can i say? it's moonspell, portugals gothic metal kings. they rock the joint. From Lowering Skies is the best freakin song i've seen them play live. I jumped out of my chair when the big man started banging them drums. The set they played wasn't totally my cup o tea but still, i got to hear a lot of my favs. You could tell they were trying to get the fans more in touch with their old and new songs. I felt bad though, about half way through their set the crowd started jetting. It was embarassing for them. But still, Fernando kept up his awesome show. I'd go see this band play someones house party I love them so much. they rock. But if you click the link above for From Lowering Skies you will see one of the festivals they played at and how large the crowd is. Plus, the big man banging out on the drums. He is so cool!
No for Katatonia; this song is the one that did it for me so i thought i'd grab their video for those of you that are interested. Check out Deliberation, the video is pretty cool too.
I choose to not use capitalization whenever and wherever i wish. please understand that to slow down the typing for a shift i or something is just too much for me. i will however, use the spell checker occassionally.
Reading over at The Back Row I found a post he put up a bit ago about your name and your sexual identity. I don't neccesarily believe in this kind of stuff, but it is uncanny how accurate it is for me. My name begins with an M, check it out. Although I will have to say that the description for the girl is dead wrong.
So this is my first HNT. Well not really, I used to post a while back so it is more like my first "NEW" HNT. And even that isn't totally true, as this is a recycled pic. But I really like this one. Thought I'd kick things off with this one.
1 It was odd, the feeling that I woke with today. I am usually a morning person so to wake up in a good mood is not strange for me. But today, it was even better. The world just seemed brighter, lighter and better today. Maybe I got more or better sleep last night...I guess.
2 My girl was standing at the counter in her PJ's making the coffee and I noticed again how much weight she lost. I AM NOT SAYING SHE WAS HEAVY BEFORE. But I could really see how tiny her waist is now and how shapely her hips and ass have become. Don't get me wrong, she was freakin' hot as hell before. But now, she has the shapely look I think she's always wanted. Like I told her, I don't think there is such a thing as good butt jeans, I think it's just her butt makes all jeans look good.
3 My ride to work today was different. I took a route I haven't in a while. Passed by campus where there has been a lot of construction lately. This route, I think, takes just a bit longer then the other. Anyways, I saw this guy jogging and he slipped on the pavement, I think there might have been some wet leaves on the pavement. Well, he did a complete face plant as he had a water bottle in one hand and his iPod in the other. He slid on his face for a foot or so and his feet were up in the air. Seeing this reminded me that I need to get some new running shoes. I am going to start jogging again and I don't want to do my own face plants. It was hilarious to see though.
Today I started up a blog. I have had several blogs but keep closing them down and moving on to a new one once I reveal too much about myself. Hopefully this time around I can keep that bit of anonymity that I need, most likely not though.
So here's to a new start, a clean slate if you will.
