Things you don't need...

It's a funny thing about having slighty more money than you need. You end up buying some crazy shit sometimes. Let me list for you some of the purchases that I've made over the last few weeks:

1. Buck Knife that has plyers, flat and phillips screw drivers, and a can opener. It can be opened with one hand, in case you're "in a tight spot".

2. Remember that video game for the PS one called Intelligent Qube? Probably not because they sold so few of them that it's now considered sort of a collector's item. Well I dug that game but never bought it when it was new. I found it on Amazon.com for about twice what it originally sold for. (it was still way cheaper than the eBay price)Yeah...I bought that.

3. Custom made vans. on vans.com you can put together your own slip-ons or old school shoe. I made a pair of dark brown old-school shoes. Sure they won't be here for 5-7 weeks, but what the hell.

4. Boony hats. I actually went to an army surplus store and bought a solid green army boony hat. Why? I needed a sun hat for hiking and I like the small brim. You also can't beat the fact that it has a strap around it so that if I need to camoflauge my head I can stick some branches in there. I'm gonna wear it camping and there's nothing you cunts can do about it. Oh yeah, and I also bought a matching one for Lauri.

Yeah, pretty crazy. I should probably stop all this frivolous spending and go put some of that surplus in a CD or something. These are all pretty minor purchases so I don't feel bad about it, but they are also things that I thoroughly don't need.

This blog...sucks.

The Chicken is NOT in the pot and there are no biscuits on the griddle

Pass this along to everyone you know. Sometimes you can go to more than one KFC and they will both be out of basic menu items like Biscuits or chicken legs. I'm not kidding, isn't this a little like McDonald's running out of Big Macs? Anyway I wasn't too upset, you shouldn't eat that stuff anyway, they torture chickens.

Kick Ass New Patio Set-up

The Once Great Simpsons

Bart: The theory of creation says there were no cavemen.
Homer: Good Riddance! Their drawings suck and they look like hippies!

Later...
Nelson to Flanders: Cram it ya God wad!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY MOFO'S!!!

I'd just like to wish everyone a good 4th July on behalf of your loyal colonial subjects here in Britain (although one day we'll both be swollowed up by China).

Haven't had many chances to post due to lack of internet in my caravan (and lack of electricity, and running water) Am having an interesting summer being work shy, long haired, smelly hippie scum (I'd dodge the draft too if we had one). Fight the Power.

Just...Yeah.

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.
