Compared to some of the ones I have posted these are pretty tame...

Thong Soccer

Thanks to Joan I have now seen something I had only heard about from certain reprobates...Penis Fencing!

The women seem really excited watching this sexual death match occur.

Sounds like last weekend...

Today is my first day off in eleven fucking days. I started out getting phone calls at 7:09AM and it didn't stop until just a few minutes ago. Neither the relief manager who was running my Bremen store or the manager in training that was running my Temple store bothered to fucking show up or call for staffing at shift change tonight so I got to spend my fucking evening running around staffing one store and getting bread and checks since nobody bothered to pull them out. The other store wouldn't answer the phone so i had to drive there next.

When I got there the ringer on the phone wasn't working and when I asked the employees if they had wondered why nobody had called them they just looked at me like I had two fucking heads. Goddamn brainless fucks.

I came across the links over at Live Crunch. Personally I paid for the wife's upgrade the day it came out but for those of you that want to save $10 here are a couple of links...

Go check out Live Crunch if you get the time...

There are some pretty cool additions to the software which includes the app store.

Hey, it's that time of the week again!

Darn, where's a good restaurant when you need it...

Sundays are usually a pretty busy day at work. Not that the rest of the weekend isn't but on Sunday everyone waits until after church and we do the same amount of business in about three hours that we do in seven on Saturdays. Needless to say I am usually pretty busy and don't have time for foolishness or small talk.

So I am right in the middle of cooking the fairly heavy lunch today, just humming right along and one of the waitresses comes up and stands between me and the other cook and starts talking about Electrolux vacuums. What?

Both of us just looked at her like she had lost her mind and kept on cooking. I suppose it could be worse. I've had to stop what I was doing to break up fights, put out fires, call the law and all other sorts of weirdness before. While strange it was certainly not the weirdest thing that's ever happened at work.

I had every intention og going to work out this afternoon before I came home. I even packed a bag so I could just change at the gym. Instead, I ended up working a bit later than I had planned and I just came on home. I feel like shit today. My throat is swollen, it hurts and I am tired as hell. I even took a nap yesterday afternoon so I know I got at least six hours of sleep between napping and last night. Part of it is the heat but I don't know about the rest. That's one of the reasons I wanted to go work out, because I always feel better afterward.

Today is my ninth day straight at work. I will damn sure be glad when this coming weekend rolls around. I'm off and it will be awhile before I have any of my managers on vacation. As a matter of fact I think the next one is mine which is in October. I have at least two more to cover before the year is out but the long ones are done with.

I have some more stuff to post but I think I will surf the Internet and drink coffee. Perhaps I can wake myself up enough to be motivated...

I love the early morning. It's a shame that I can't do this more often. I went outside for a smoke just a little while ago and just sat listening to the birds. Near and far they were all chatting with each other. In the pre-dawn hour it was almost overbearing there were so many birds chatting with each other, but pleasant at the same time. As a matter of fact I think before I get ready for work I am going to sit back outside again for a few...

Speaking of birds, we have a Hummingbird Feeder mounted on our kitchen window just off the deck. As I sat there yesterday afternoon a little hummingbird flew up to feed. It only stayed a few seconds as I moved a bit trying to see if I had my camera with me. Of course not.

The Hummingbird returned a few times yesterday evening. By the time I located my tripod so I could go ahead and focus the camera and sit still it was too late and didn't come back. I think I will save it for today or tomorrow afternoon and get an earlier shot. Part of the fact that it didn't come back was the fact that the girls kept running out on the back porch like a pack of wild dogs every few minutes.

Even after having to get up so early yesterday I stayed up pretty late. Of course I should have been to bed early but we decided to sit down and watch National Treasure: The Book of Secrets. It was pretty decent actually. The wife turned off disbelief mode for a couple of hours and got to enjoy it with me. The thing about being married to a science teacher is that it makes it difficult to use your imagination and just enjoy shit that you know CAN'T possibly be true or couldn't happen. Hell, who gives a shit. It's a movie...

I probably should have already gone to work but I am going in a few minutes late today. Actually more like an hour and a half. The two manager trainees are just going to have to deal with it for a while. One of them was at my Tallapoosa store yesterday, which is about seventeen miles from my house. She didn't pull them enough food so the store was calling me at 11PM last night out of stuff. I ended up getting it to them but was not particularly happy about it...

This post is going to serve as my weekend open trackback post for July 25-27th. What's Open Trackback? Well, that's where you share your link to other people that might not have been to your site before. Share something witty, your best work, your wost work, or just slutty pictures of actresses. I don't care (up to a point). Ping or trackback this post and your link will show up here in the body of the post as well as on my main page for everyone to see. If you want to do something like that regularly then check out one of the trackback blogrolls from my blogrolls page or click the link on the graphic above for more information.

I'm trying really hard to concentrate on pre-writing some posts for this and other sites and miserably failing...

I mentioned this morning when I updated the Caylee Anthony story that I was on my way to work early. REAL early. Ugly early. One of my waitresses was no-call no-show last night. Normally it only takes me a short time to cover a shift but last night I just wasn't able to do it. I left my manager-in-training in charge with one waitress and went to bed prior to eleven. I then got back up shortly after two a.m. and dragged my sorry self in to work, whereupon the manager-in-training became the waitress while I cooked. He was pleased, no doubt.

Anyway, I got out of there around ten this morning and arrived home after the tree service had left and managed to get a couple more hours of sleep but it has completely messed me up. I am wandering around the house aimlessly, looking through my books for something to catch my attention, going outside to smoke and just mainly not getting ANYTHING done.

I am sure to get a couple of posts up this evening but that is pretty much the way the rest of the evening is bound to run. Couple the long two days with the fact that today is my sixth day at work. I was originally going to take tomorrow off but as the wife has to drive halfway across the state for a class on Tuesday I won't get a day off until then. blech. A ten day stretch with no days off. I am going to be a crispy critter by the time my day off rolls around. My one day off. Luckily I will be off the following weekend unless some emergency happens. I am looking forward to that very much.

I do still plan on getting a Thursday Thongs post up. I'll try to have it up before midnight if you came over looking for it.

...when she's dead I mean. The other can wait till lights out!

So we're watching this show on National Geographic Channel about what people do with their pets when they are dead.

Fucking creepy I'll tell you.

There's this one chick who's dog died so she had her dog stuffed and now it sits on the couch...

I figure if I outlive my wife (not fucking likely) I will have a taxidermist fix her up sitting on the couch with the remote. It'll need to randomly change the channel every five minutes and then I would have to get a recording that says "get the fuck off the computer" to get it right...

So then they show this chick that's a taxidermist. She has mounted (no pun intended) 40 of her pets over the last nine years. 40 pets? Christ, sounds like Jefferey Dahmer, doggy style.

She freezes the pets for a few years before she stuffs them. They showed her sticking one into the freezer. It was packed full of dead animals. I was just wondering if maybe her ex-husband was at the bottom of the pile somewhere.

When I think that I or anyone in my family is weird or freaky I need but turn the TV on or get on the Internet and read for about five minutes about some of the sick fucks out there to feel better.

Now they are talking about domesticated monkeys. There's this place that takes monkeys that turn on their owners (they are wild animals after all). Fuck that. My dog mauls one of my children it's not making it out of the house alive much less to some cage...

Some of theses folks they are showing that own wild animals are damned retards. They must have missed the day on infectious diseases and losing fingers.

Dude.

Dude!

Check out this video...

Hope you haven't eaten yet.

Think that was bad? How about this exercise routine...

Damn!

I hope you haven't eaten lately.

Apparently I had just enough Absinthe to leave a slight buzzing in my head. I am also not the only sick fucker around either. I found both of these videos over at My Blog Rules Your Ass! I think I'm gonna have to add this one to the blogroll. This guy's gotta come to a blogmeet and have a few....

I had to work second shift today in order to cut out some payroll and as I am sitting here wide awake but need to be up at four AM I decided I would medicate myself and try the absinthe. I am here to tell you that it is some evil nasty foul shit that smells as if it leaked from my bunghole after a week of binge drinking. Damn!

Licorice. I hate fucking licorice. It tasted just as bad as it smells, even after following directions and dissolving cold water over a sugar cube. Of course I had to substitute a spoonful of sugar for the cube and absinthe spoon but I don't think that having the right accoutrements would have helped much. I did manage to sip a bit but then poured the rest into my lawn when I went out for a smoke. 110 proof. not quite rubbing alcohol but it certainly tasted like it.

I've got a case of knife envy now... :)

I was over at Brigade QM and came across this Gerber Automatic knife. It runs about $150 or so and is pretty sweet. I used to collect weapons when I was younger. Nothing serious mind you, I just enjoy them. Knives, swords, guns, whatever. When my son turned about a year old and was starting to get into things I packed away all of my small knives and sold my guns. I just really didn't want to arrive home one day and walk into an accident. Boys will be boys and you can train them once they are older but as toddlers they tend to get into stuff.

Anyhow, Brigade QM has some pretty cool gear. Besides knives they also carry all sorts of tactical gear and outdoors supplies. They used to be Actiongear.Com but have recently changed to the new domain but it's the same cool stuff.

I don't know that the shorts could get much smaller and tighter...

Is that even legal?

Pete was on the cell phone a couple of days ago chatting with one of her friends as girls do when she dropped it in a bucket of water.

She was watering the plants out front.

And talking on the phone at the same time.

It was the wife's phone since neither of us believe that the kids should have a cell phone.

oops.

Needless to say the wife was not terribly impressed by this. We set it up with the blow dryer on it for 40 minutes or so but no go. It was on when it got dropped and it didn't have the chance to dry out properly before it got turned on again so the circuit board is fried. A couple of the keys work but you can't dial out, answer or make calls or do anything else useful.

Luckily I took insurance on her phone when I got it, and the same on mine. In general I believe that you shouldn't take any type of extended warranty on any kind of electronics as it's not worth it but with each phone upgrade we get the phones are more expensive and if you are in the middle of your contract and the phone dies you get to pay full retail rather than getting the deal that new folks do.

Luckily for us I took the insurance. It's a $50 deductible and they have already shipped her new phone out. I did manage to back up her pictures and contacts using Bitpim rather than pay the extra $10 that Verizon rips you off with charges you for transferring the stuff to a new phone, so she won't have to pay for it.

I still have a bit of phone envy for the new iPhone 3G but I am pretty sure that I won't get one. AT&T doesn't offer 3G where I live or work, the iPhone has useless GPS and no Bluetooth so it would just be an expensive MP3 player. What a waste. Maybe I'll get an iPod Touch instead for Christmas or something. I'm leaning toward one of the touchscreen Blackberrys that's supposed to be out before the end of the year though. I've really grown to like my Blackberry and while the HTML browser leaves a lot to be desired it's still the best game in town. The only problem with upgrading is that I'll have to upgrade my accessories as well. Cell phone holsters, extra battery, memory card, USB cable if it doesn't come with it, the list goes on. The case or holster is particularly important for me. I would prefer to just keep the phone in my pocket but it gets such heavy usage at work that I have to wear it on my belt or hanging out of my pocket. The only issue with that is that I beat the crud out of my phones. My current case has paint all over it, scratches, grease and all sorts of other nasties.

I'm running short on time this morning but wanted to get a post up prior to going to work. I mentioned a little while earlier that I had a pretty busy weekend. It wasn't so much busy as it was just staying away from the computer and doing other stuff.

I posted a bit about the barbecue Thursday night. We actually got to bed at a decent time, prior to midnight, so I didn't sleep to terribly late on Friday. Originally I was going to take Pete to Six Flags but decided to save that trip for another day since the wife had to leave somewhat early to go see the Braves play. The girls made sure to watch and look for her on TV :) There was actually a reasonable chance since they were sitting behind home plate. On at least two occasions they would run in and tell me they saw their mom. Who knows, maybe they did...

Prior to the evening though we took the girls to the movies. Going to the movie theater just isn't something that's a high priority on my list. It is prohibitively expensive and between tickets, drinks and snacks you can just about go to the fucking amusement park. There are maybe one or two movies a year that I am willing to spend money on. The rest of the time there's Netflix. I would rather wait for the DVD release than waste money at the theater. That having been said, Pete and I went to see the Dark Knight and the wife took RePete to see Space Chimps. I think that I most likely got the better end of the deal on that one...

Saturday I worked briefly in the yard and then just hung with the wife. We sat down and watched Sweeney Todd on DVD and then the Sixth Sense on cable. Talk about creepy movie weekend...I was pleasantly surprised at Sweeney Todd. Not that I would like a musical, I knew that. It was more the fact that Johnny Depp and musical just don't go together. Pretty good movie though...

Yesterday I spend planting some more trees and stuff and then basically did nothing. I intended to at least write a bit but don't think I managed to accomplish a damn thing. Should have gone to the gym after work. I do plan on going today though. My store manager in Temple is on vacation for the next ten days and that's pretty much where I'll be living for the next week and a half. Another week with one day off. What a pisser. It will give me the chance to go work out in the afternoons though since the gym is right behind my restaurant.

Hopefully I will have something interesting to post for Odd Shots Monday before the day is out. I always carry my camera so there is no telling what will come up...

Originally I was thinking about taking the eldest daughter to Six Flags today but the wife has to leave fairly early to go see the Braves play tonight. Maybe we will go on my day off next week.

I think that she and I are going to see the new Batman movie today. I'll have to post a review of it once I get home. Love's me some Batman...

The wife posted an entry over at her site. Apparently the phone number she posted for the Chalet Kristy was incorrect. The correct number is 706-878-2155. Also, oh by the way, there is something else big going on that weekend (aside from the fact that it's Oktoberfest in Helen) so if you are planning on reserving a room for the Southeastern Writer's Conference you need to get it done now!

I have a site set up as well over here. I will post pictures over there and there is directions to the hotel as well as pricing.

Now that's an interesting combination...

I haven't anything new so I am back to posting Flickr photos... :(

I am pretty much disgusted with the Westboro Baptist So-Called Church. These bigoted haters have picked Tony Snow's funeral to picket. Whether you are a conservative and respect him or a liberal who didn't like him I think that everyone can agree that picketing someone's funeral is just in really bad taste. Thanks for Stop the ACLU for passing on this story.

Then look no farther than the Santiago, Chile subway. Monserrat Morrilles thinks that Chilean society is too prudish and conservative and she has set out to change that by stripping on the subway. Your morning commute has never been so exciting :)

"Get out! I am so sick of hearing about the African subcontinent all the time!"

At first I interrupted "WHOA!" then the next day I just ran away all of a sudden. After all, she *is* my grandma and I need to make this work...

I very much dislike my nephew Junior. At times he is really difficult to handle, but then last week he just disturbed me... I could really use his help talking to someone about luck on the African subcontinent, but then he began yelling:

"No kidding?! I love the African subcontinent so much!"

At first I started bitching "NO WAY!" and then this morning I just ran away all of a sudden. After all, he *is* my nephew and he wants what is best for me...

Late in the afternoon we decided to head on back. We had all been drinking, some of us a bit more heavy than others and the driver was going a bit too fast. As I understand it you can't go too terribly fast on a pontoon boat and you have to be real careful about hitting wake and stuff. Apparently we WERE going too fast and hit a wave from where a previous boat had been going across our path. The boat went almost vertical and we were all thrown to the end, some of us in the water. A couple of folks had minor injuries but that was about it.

Of course the boat wouldn't run after that and we ended up getting a tow back to the marina. We were extremely lucky that nobody was hurt worse or even killed. I didn't think about it at the time but operating under the influence is a much bigger deal than you would think.

There are boating safety courses that you can take and a ton of Boating Education information is online as well. Take a look at some of the resources about Boating Operating Under the Influence if you have a couple of minutes.

The wife has been experimenting the last couple of days with some recipes from Food Network or something along those lines. Check this out...

Looks like someone took a crap on my kitchen counter. I don't know what all is in them but cocoa is involved for sure. I was quite hesitant to eat it but being the coward loving husband I am I tried one. I always try things the wife makes unless it involves squash.

Here's a close-up...

Damn, how the hell did that get in with the bunch? Here's the actual photo...

They are actually pretty good. They are light and crunchy. I don't usually like my cookies quite so crunchy but they are quite tasty.

...even if it does look like somebody took a squat in my kitchen...

OK folks. I was going to spend my days off this next week (the only week in July that I actually have two days off) either in Hilton Head or Destin but I think we are going to stay in town. I would love to go to the beach but I want to conserve a bit of cash. After spending well over $6k for ten days in Florida last month I need the break anyway. Thursday I think I will take my oldest daughter to Six Flags instead. The Marine and I used to do that every couple of years and we always had a pretty good time.

We are going to host a cookout either Thursday or Friday, whatever is better for folks. I'll send some emails out but if you don't get one that doesn't mean you aren't invited it just means I don't have your fucking email address. Shoot me an email or call me if you want to come. The number is 770-313-3231. If'n you think it's a bad thing to post my number on the Internet, hell it's already there anyway. Leave me a voice mail because if I don't have you in my contact list I WON'T answer the fucking thing anyway but I will call you back. Maybe. Let me know if you want to come and I will email directions. Also tell me which day it should be. I know that Friday is probably the best day for folks since it's a work day, but since it's summer time I figured Thursday might be acceptable as well. I can drink Thursday since I am off Friday but I have to behave myself Friday. Not that I get drunk and act stupid or anything, I just get drunk and act stupid. Oh yeah, kids are welcome too. Gotta have small moving targets.

Something happened this afternoon that brought back a humorous memory. This is one of those 'had to be there' things that just sort of happen. My friend Madame Foo will remember it as did my wife.

A few years back we attended a funeral for a friend of mine during our teenage years. If I recall, he hung himself. Probably faced with future prospects of having to vote between Obama-McCain no doubt.

Anyhow I drove to the funeral. I don't remember who was in the car with us besides Madame Foo and the wife, it might have been Michelle. We are driving down the road and all of a sudden Madame Foo starts hollering "bird in the road, bird in the road, DEAD BIRD IN THE ROAD" as I ran over the fucking thing. We all rolled down the road cackling at the top of our lungs, because that's what death does for you. Humor is always a good way to deal with it. Told you you had to be there.

Anyhow, The wife and girls came up to one of my restaurants and met Bou and the boys for lunch today as she was passing through our area. Actually it was out of her way but it was nice to see her since I will most likely not be able to get off of work until 2PM Sunday and will therefore miss the little get-together Elisson is planning.

Focus...focus....don't derail the train of thought.

So the wife leaves the girls with me and goes grocery shopping. I was almost finished with work and had just planned on heading home. Once we arrived the girls set themselves up on the computer while I decided to take a much needed nap (I will explain why it was so needed shortly). When she got home she called and asked us to come outside and help bring the groceries in, and oh by the way, I needed to bring my camera with me and see what was stuck in the grill of my car...

Brown Smasher...er, Thrasher. The poor fuck never had a chance. It had it's little head tucked beneath it's wing as if it ducked at the last moment while saying "oh FUCK!". Luckily there was no dead bird goo for me to clean off of the car. A nice clean kill. What better for roadkill stew? It never even touched the ground. Alas, I chucked the body into one of my gardens for the scavengers to fight over amongst themselves. As soon as I saw it I thought "Dead bird in the road" and repeated it to my wife while the girls, who weren't even born around the original incident, looked at us stupidly. I didn't show them my latest victim of course. There's only so much a five-year-old can take.

Just call me Bird Killer. Gotta get a T-Shirt...

This sucks. I had one day off last week. This week I had only yesterday and I had to go in for a couple of hours. I did not want to get out of bed today and damn sure don't want to drive to work. It's certainly going to be a busy day...

We had a power outage on Tuesday night at the store I will be at today. There is apparently no surge protector in the store so when the power came back on it fried the PSU for the computer. Wednesday is our weekly close-out day for payroll and everything else so our corporate office overnighted a computer. Just as soon as it comes in this morning I have to restore a backup from the old one and close out all of my numbers. They have to have the payroll information by 11AM so it cuts it kind of close on time.

Depending on how long my meetings last me today, I may try to get back online and post for a while.

I've been using Charter internet access ever since it became available out here in the boondocks a few years back. Prior to that I had DSL through Bellsouth. While I liked having a static IP address (which I had to pay extra for) Charter High Speed is certainly much faster than DSL ever was, at least for me.

One of the other things I liked about it is that in order to get Charter High-Speed I don't have to have any of their other services. I do have cable of course, but they don't force you. With DSL, the phone company said I would have to pay for a phone line in order to get DSL. What the heck is up with that? We have two cell phones here, why would I want or even need a land line?

Anyhow, they have this limited-time offer thing going on right now that I wish I were eligible for. You can get Charter High-Speed for $14.99 a month, try the first 30 days risk-free and when you sign up online you get a $25 Shell gas gift card. The 30 day risk-free thing is a 30 day window for cancellation just in case you aren't happy with their service.

Some other benefits to being a Charter High Speed customer include:

• Get the fastest and most reliable Internet speeds available- Get speeds up to 5Mbps to surf up to 90X faster than 56kbps dial- up and 3X as fast as 1.5Mbps DSL!




• Automatic protection from viruses, hackers and spam - Charter High-Speed Security SuiteÆ has the fastest response to new virus threats and best virus detection.




• 10 e-mail accounts - enough for the whole family plus 20MB of Web space.




• Download in seconds, not minutes plus a reliable always-on, always-fast connection.




• Exclusive content on charter.net- get your news, weather, local movie listings and more!

Go check out the web page if you get some time and see what I am talking about.

This week's is definitely not safe for work...

I am in a terrible mood this afternoon. Not just a bad mood, but an extremely ugly mood. Pissed off at the world. The kind of mood that makes you want to snatch someone's scrotum out and shove it down their throat. Or just write about it.

That kind of ugly mood.

There doesn't seem to be any particular reason for it, although there were a couple of minor things that set me off. Nothing I am going to go into though.

No, I prefer to sit here and revel in my pissed off at the world mood and imagine beating someone's head in with a bat. Preferably someone that's not much use to society. Like politicians or the IRS. Speaking of the IRS, they can just suck my left nut. Just the left one though. I wouldn't want them to get too much enjoyment out of it and they've already sucked the blood of the rest of everything anyway.

So what do you do to get out of your bad mood?

So I'm not in quite such a foul mood anymore. Not overtly angry anyway. I made myself a pot of coffee and stepped outside for a smoke. I am still not my overly chipper (yeah right!) self at the moment but I don't feel like strangling puppies anymore.

While I was outside my neighbor across the street was also outside. He's not allowed to smoke inside either I guess. They are pretty cool. They also happen to be the only one's right around here that I know. We aren't getting together on the weekends and barbecuing but we speak when we are outside. It's more a matter of timing than anything as far as doing anything. They came over for one of our parties last year and this last one I think I just didn't run into them to invite them. Nobody has lived in the house next to us for over nine months now and the one on the other side that our friends moved out of, the Addams Family just moved in yesterday. We are friends with a few families in the subdivision and our kids play together, but I really don't know my neighbors well.

That's not a good thing and I think it's indicative of our society as a whole. We don't have neighbors anymore, just people we wave too. People are so transient, not working in their communities, moving constantly. I don't feel like that's a good thing. Something's missing.

Crap, now I'm getting all taciturn. Fuck this, I've got other stuff to do.

As I mentioned last week I came across this site that generates completely random blog posts, sometimes with hilarious results. ...so here we are...

I very much do not care for my grandpa The Boz. On weekends he is really stupid, and today he just touched me... I asked for his help reading a book about homosexuality of the European lowlands, but he screamed:

"Shut up! I was just learning about the European lowlands in class!"

At first I interrupted "NO WAY!" but then just now I just ran away all of a sudden. After all, he *is* my grandpa and he should know better...

When I am writing a bunch that's the sound my wife makes. I don't exactly type. It's more like I bang the keyboard to death. I can take one of those extremely quiet keyboards and make it sound like an instrument of torture. I type so-so. I used to do the two fingered typing although now that I have been paying attention I see that I am using four or five fingers. I am somewhere around 50wpm I guess and I only have to look at the keys about half the time.

So what the fuck got me to thinking about how I type. I've been writing pretty much non-stop since I got home. Not here obviously although I have been needing to get back into postme. No, it's mainly on my other sites where I am still posting for $$$. I discovered that since we've been home from vacation that I could use the extra bucks. I enjoyed that extra twelve grand I made last year and I fully intend on making some more between now and Christmas. I've written probably 15 posts since I got home this afternoon and I fully intend on writing about 15 more before I go to bed. Maybe even one or tow that actually make some sense over here :)

I am also available on a contract basis to the CIA if they want. You know, stick me in a room with some fucking towel heads, blindfold them and let me blog for ten or twelve hours at a time. They'll get so fucking sick of it they will tell you anything you want to know...

Want to know something else that's funny as hell? You know fromt he little 'reblog' link that's in the corner of my posts that I have been using that Zemanta stuff for a few weeks now to suggest keywords, tags and photographs for my blog posts. It comes in a plugin form for my browser as well as one for MT. I use the one for my browser because it works in ALL my blog formats. Anyhow, since I mentioned the word 'torture' the first keywords to surface were 'John McCain' and 'George Bush'. Bwahaha. Only if money-grubbing stealing bastards is torture, but then again that applies to Obama and the rest of Bozo's clubhouse as well.

So here I sit listening to net radio, some '80s hair band station, and relaxing. Hopefully I won't have to go back in to work tonight. As long as all goes well. There is something like a 30% chance of rain tonight so hopefully it won't storm too bad, although I would love to have the rain. It might even rain out the fireworks. That would suck but it would lessen the chances of me having to go back in to work.

My hot neighbor came over a little while ago to borrow an adjustable wrench. It seems that they are moving and needed to unhook the washer and dryer. Damn, that sucks. She had broken up with her boyfriend, who seemed like a slacker, and had the house on the market but then decided to not sell and make a try of it. Apparently she is leasing it out to some dude. She said he 'talks alot' but seems alright otherwise. I know I saw some creepy old dude nosing around yesterday afternoon. I guess that would be him.

Just what I need. Some creepy old fucker living next door. Hell, he's probably a perfectly nice guy. Might even be a blogger (are they nice?) that will get offended. Just let the fucker mess with my girls and I'll be feeding him his fucking scrotum. I guess once I find out his name I'll have to get online and check the dude out. Damn I hate getting new neighbors...Just as long as this guy isn't some type of pedophile we'll be just fine.

One of the things I inherited from my father is a love for 50's and 60's rock and roll. Everything from the Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly to the Animals and the Zombies. The wife tunes out most of it, disliking anything prior to the '70s but she puts up with it.

After having read Eric's entry about Winston I dropped by his site and read the last post by roomie with a tear in my eye. I had never been to Winston's site and now I am sad because of that fact.

I came across this little gem from the Everly Brothers over there and knew I had to post it for your amusement.

Just what I look for when I'm at the park, but then again I am a pig...

So after breakfast we caught the bus to Hollywood Studios. The last time we went I don't think we enjoyed it quite as much as we did this time. The split up more this time. It was almost like two vacations. That way we could do things that each of the girls enjoyed without cramping the other's style.

Most of the design in Hollywood Studios is modeled after the '40s and '50s. The heyday of Hollywood. This old truck sits just inside the gate.

Sometimes they just have to put up with me wanting to take pictures. Considering how shitty my memory is, photos ARE my memories.

The obligatory Mickey hat photo...

One thing that was really funny was that when we got to the area where the kids get to meet Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable Pete had no interest whatsoever but RePete wanted her picture taken. What happens when they get there? Just the opposite. Repete wouldn't go near them. I think she was expecting cartoon people to come out because when she saw them she hid behind me :)

I'm pretty beat, so I will be sure to post more photos tomorrow...
