In the bar that I will open someday

Well my bar would pretty much the same as the 2 previous posts. Air Hockey and Pinball (preferably the Johnny Nemonic one) : check! Pete's Beers on tap : check! No dress code : check! VIP Parking for friends, family, and guests of honor : Check! But I have a few changes:
1. Sports on big sports days saturday college football and sunday NFL football. For MLB only the playoffs. Of course the NCAA Basketball Tourney.
2. Killians Irish Red on tap
3. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and sometimes Sunday we will get great entertainment from the WWE (It will not conflict with the other sports don't worry).
4. A Video game tournament each month in all types of games.
5. Nachos and Buffalo Wings would be on the menu.
6. IPod Playlists will be the music in the bar.
7. WWE Memorabilia will be on the wall including the old co-op arcade game WRESTLEFEST!!!
8. All kinds of drinks will be served.
Some of these changes you wouldn't agree with but this is my bar. But this will be a great bar to watch sports and act crazy (but not too crazy). Maybe I might even start karaoke and then Porn Star Karaoke. Get a bunch of girl and guys to get to the bar. Most likely I would also like this bar in pasadena.

In the bar that i will someday open.

In the bar that i will someday open, dress shoes and high heels won't be allowed. Feel free to wear a tie, but it better be with flip flops. The atmosphere will be so laid back that it'll feel like your in your own backyard, which in certain areas, lawn chairs will be available. You will have the option of all and any alcohol beverages. Music will mostly be provided by a couple of guys playing pianos (piano bar style). For food: popcorn, peanuts, pretzels and every Saturday BBQ hot dogs. Pin ball machines, air hockey tables, pool tables and darts, will be in a special game room. And the most important thing that my bar will have that close friends and family only have access to...a VIP section for parking!

In the Bar that I will someday open...

In a the bar that I will someday open ties will be banned, leave them in the car they are making everyone else uncomfortable. You want to choke yourself? Keep in the privacy of your own home sicky.
There will be many many beers on tap, but especially Budweiser, Fat Tire, Mirror Pond, Tecate, Sierra Nevada, Stella Artois, Fuller's ESB, and Red Hook ESB, and yes for you poor lost souls who have not yet come to realize what real beer tastes like ...Coor's Light.

There will be a jukebox with 9 artists available. They will be as follows: Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Tom Petty. If you can't find something you like out of that list...what are you doing here?

There will never be a dress code. Act like a douchebag and your out, thats my dress code.

Once every couple of weeks there will be non-amplified entertainment. Provided your band sounds something like those listed above.

There will be free peanuts, and you can throw the shells on the floor.

The price and temperature of your beer will go up or down depending on how you treat the staff and other customers.(You'll have to be a real douche to pay more than $4).

There will be a fireplace. (It adds class)

There will be a chess board. (it invites an air of intellectualism)

Well Drinks will get you fucked up, provided you meet the dress code.

There will be a dart board. (it adds sharp objects flying through the air combined with cheap alcohol to counteract the class and intellectualism.)

And hopefully, there will be all of you fine people.

Saturday Night Fever

Having spent the last two nights sitting in my parent's backyard getting thrououghly wasted drinking gin and tonics (Jeff was right, a Sapphire and tonic might be the perfect summer drink) my body is no mood for another night of drinking. I sit here at my computer chugging water. It tastes so good when you are really thirsty. Lauri is at work, Randy is out East, and everyone else seems to be either out drinking, or out working. To be honest I just came back from visiting Lauri at my job. It felt pretty pathetic to be there on my night off, but it serves dual purposes. I was able to check up on my new crew. You see, I've accepted a "promotion" to Event Operations Manager. I now manage a crew of about 20 people that handle all equipment set-ups and janitorial duties around the facility. Its more of a lateral move stepping out of the lime light for a "back of house" position. It's more money and once I get things running smoothly, it will be more regular hours. Plus, no more answering phones all day and fighting with clients about money. Plus once we get our new facilities built it will become a huge job with lots of opportunities for growth. It's a good thing and I'm excited. So anyway, going down there tonight lets them know that the new boss has thier eye on them. But I'm home now and I'm wondering what the hell to do with the rest of the night.

no fun.

My monday is not going well. Its only 10am and i'm gettting angry. See there's this girl who was gone for like 4 months on maternity leave. Well she's been back now for over a month. During that month she was in my office on another computer that's in the room. She barely did any work. All she did was surf the internet, especially MySpace and Ebay. At some point, while checking out every single persons myspace page or maybe it was when she would purchase items on ebay, she put a super nasty virus on that computer. When my boss asked what she had been doing on that computer she gave all the wrong answers. The typical response would be something like "nothing". Her response "i go on myspace and ebay, i didn't do it!". My boss has been trying to delete this virus for over a month now. And this morning he thinks he got it. But thanks to this wonderful employee, we no longer have access to MySpace. Thank God i can get the Rat Race though. I totally blamed her this morning for it too. She's so dumb that she still doesn't realize that i was all her fault. So sorry Lynlee, no more morning emails. I guess i'll have to wait and see what's going on with everyone after 5pm. If its something that can be put on the blog, please do so. Because for now, this is my only access to the outside world.

Wow!

I can't believe its JUNE already! What the heck? Wasn't it just New Year's? Let's see, what does my June hold...well as lame as it sounds, the first week will be spent without Pete. He's going on a business trip for a week. I don't think we've been apart that long in years. I know what your all saying, "it's good to be apart every now and then". I agree, but i still don't want him to go. Then the following weekend i'm doggy sitting. After that its Father's Day (just a reminder for you all if you need it). I guess that's about it for June, scheduled stuff anyways. I hope the weather just keeps on getting warmer and the days get slightly longer. Pete and I need to have a Sunday Funday soon too...beer, the bean dip special, other wonderful snacks, oh and of course, friends! Who's in?!

happy birthday tom!!!!

Hello All...

Hello all,
I thought maybe people might have some things they wanted to say on the blog but didn't want to post over Joe's picture. I've put his picture (my favorite of him) as a permanent feature on the blog. If you would like to post a something about Joe, a picture or a fond memory, you should feel free to do so, (anytime). I know when I find the words I might have a few things to say. Or if you have anything you want to post about anything, you should do that to. My hope is that, while a picture on a blog is a small tribute, it will help us to remember Joe as we move forward and tell the funny stories of our lives. If you feel like there is a picture or some text that would be more fitting, feel free to let me know and i'll incorporate that.

We Love You Joe.
We'll Miss You Always.

Let's Drink

I found this quote as I was randomly surfing web sites at work. Yes my job is that exciting. I feel it is one of the best arguments for drinking I have ever encountered. What do you think?

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Cinco De Mayo
St. Patrick's Day
Oktoberfest
All great holidays and great excuses to drink, but what about the one we're missing? What about Chinese New Year? I mean, what are we? a bunch of racists? I'm starting this petition here and now to you Rat Racers to join me in getting shit faced hammered on next year's Chinese New Year!
Now...if someone could tell me when it might be, I'd appreciate it.

BEHOLD... Pong Stadium

OK listen up everyone, pong stadium can finally live up to its name. this table is good for more than just beer pong, you can actually play ping pong on this mother fucker. i know what your thinking but don't worry i spent a little extra and got the water proof table so yes we can also play some beer pong. Although i have yet to be victorious on my new table, at beer pong or ping pong i look forward to kicking some ass on this thing. so come one come all, but don't forget to bring some Coors light, or bud or whatever kind of beer you like. just don't come empty handed or the last thing you'll feel is my foot on your ass on the way out the door.

Week Day Off

What would you do with a weekday off? You would probably do something constructive like getting your oil changed, or laundry, or going to the dentist. I had today off and didn't do any of those things. Here's what I did. I wanted to get some new suits for work, my mardrobe is severly lacking these days. So I start at the bargain basement: JC Penny. I ask the guy for a dark blue suit and he says, "oh boy...I don't if we have anything like that..." Huh? Who doesn't sell a dark blue suit? He pulls something shiny and bright blue off the rack that's cut halfway down my thighs. If I were starting my new job as a pimp, this is the suit I would buy. Well its my fault for trying the bargain basement anyway, right? So I try for something a little more high class. On to Macy's. Macy's had some nice suits, but no one to help you find what you need and price tags that scared me away. Time to try the old standby, Men's Wearhouse. Both times I've been to men's wearhouse has been a good experience. They set upon you like vultures, but are able to immediately size you up and pull just want you need from the rack. This time, I got no love. I walk in, and there isn't anyone there. Some chick helping out another guy and nobody else. I can't pick out a suit on my own, I'd be lost. I walk around for a few minutes hoping to spotted by a salesmen on break or something. No dice. I walk out of Men's Wearhouse and get the hell out of the mall as fast as I could. All the suit buying wind had been taken out of my sails. By this time it's like 11am. (I hit the Mall pretty early so I can't really blame them for not having their A-teams on.) Inevitably I begin to think of lunch. Lunch is a very important activity in the weekday off. It signals the turn from morning to afternoon. So what should I don for lunch. McDonalds was screaming for me, but I didn't want this to turn into a McDonald's day. I resisted. Besides I still needed to kill about a 45 minutes before it was even acceptable to eat lunch. I decided to do what I do about every six months. Buy some comics. I head over to comics oddessey over by PCC. Because I don't buy regularly and single issues just whet the appetite i was looking at the collected editions. Damn they got expensive! What used to cost me $10 was now $25. Oh well, the quality of the paper and ink have gone way up so I guess it is what it is. I settled on a Marvel collection called Civil War where heroes fight against each other over whether they should register and work for the government. Pretty good so far. Anyone know when spidey changed in to an ultra gay red and gold costume, with Doc Oc style spider legs attached? I call Shenanigans on that.
So I head home with my new comic and an idea for lunch. Rolled Chicken Tacos from trader joes. Yummy. When I get home, I decide to couple the three tacos with some mac and cheese also from trader joes. Oh yeah and a bottle of beer (bad pete). I put in my netflix rental 12 Monkeys and I'm off. I watch 12 Monkeys. (Say what you will about him, Brad Pitt is good in that.) I read my comic, I start to doze off.....................................NO! This isn't a doze off day either. So I just sit for awhile, avoiding the news, I'm not in the mood to hear about the random violence at Virginia Tech today. I could go hiking, I could get my oil changed, I could try another Men's Wearhouse, there are a million things I could be doing. Not the least of which is checking my work email or voicemail so I don't walk into 20 messages tommorow. I just can't get motivated to any of it. So instead, I decide to engage in the creative activity of blogging. Maybe the brain stimulation will spark something useful. Well, that was the last 6 hours. I guess we'll see what the rest of the day holds.

Long Time... No Post

Hey all of you guys out on the site. Anyhoo I was just gonna give you a quick update on what's up with me and more cool stuff. So I am now working at AC Co. Which is the big store we have here in Cordova. It's kinda like a toned down WalMart it has more groceries but it sells electronics, clothes, fishing equipment, and even guns and ammo ( and I'm not talking about the magazine). I left my job at The Reluctant Fisherman Restaurant where I was washing dishes. Not to be cocky but I thought I was better than that job and always thought of that job as a temporary job anyway. But now I have a new job but instead of the 50 percent discount I had for food at The Reluctant Fisherman I have a 15 percent discount at the store. But wait I can't use it for groceries that includes alcohol. I can use it for electronics, DVD's, fishing stuff, and probably guns. I don't need any of that stuff. I also work up at the register which is alot better than working with produce which is what I did my first 2 days but after I cut my thumb I told the manager I would perform better with customer service and he put me up at the front. I think I did pretty well too on friday and saturday. But this is temporary so I filled out an application for a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) Job at the airport here. I take a test on wednesday and if I do well at it they will schedule an interview with me. I know I don't know alot about security but I bet you all of the guys knew nothing either before they got a job. This place is filled with crazy people too. Some bad stuff has happened too. I gave my dad 550 bucks to buy me a xbox360 with 2 games and a remote while he was in Anchorage. He bought it but before the day he left he found it was taken from his hotel room. I was furious when I heard this. He had no receipt either it was in the bag too. But he had the extended warranty from best buy which had his address and he gave it to them and got the serial number and gave it to the cops. Well this wednesday best buy told us it was returned on friday. So the person who stoile it got almost 600+ dollars that's not right. The manager didn't help either saying he was not responsible and wouldn't tell my Dad who cleaned the rooms that day. So I think he was in on it and you can't split a game system but you can split money. It sucks. Now I think he should've locked it in his car and that would've prevented this but whatever. Now he says he will get me another one which is not fair to either him or me. We are not rolling in cash here. But anyways I'm planning for a Vegas Trip in July and the tentative date will be july 9-11. But of course if I get another job I might be busy with that and I'm trying to get a girl to go who is in the same situation (might be busy with a job) she's getting a degree so she will probably getting interviews for a career job and I don't want her to give up a good careet to go to vegas. But I will let you in on more info about vegas as soon as I get it. I will try to blog my top 5 blogs written by me soon. But I need to go to sleep. Lates Guys.
