Had a bet a few years back of who would pose first, Britney or Christina. Neither have yet, but Britney "Drank about a dozen Red Bulls" and decided to do this shot for Esquire. So, enjoy. Happy Halloween! Later, -T-

Mid-Week UPDATE?!?
Current Music: I've got "It's Five o'clock Somewhere" stuck in my head at the moment.
Today's Random Fact: I'm still battling with exploding oatmeal...
Since when do I do things during the week? Well, I guess since my social life expoded. It's more of an odd puberty-like growth, awkward and stumbling. Ah well, at least I finally have one.
So last night after work a group of people from work and I went to The Winking Lizard in Coventry. It's smaller then all the other Lizards I've been to. I tried Dortmunder because Collin likes it so much, and was disappointed. Although, one of my friends tried it and made a classic bitter beer face, so it wasn't a total waste. Don't get me wrong, I drank it, I just didn't like it all that much. Other then that the night was kinda uneventful, but it was still fun to go out. I kinda like this new social life thing.
I forgot to add this last night: For the first time in a while, I've felt compassion. I know, this really should be something I feel a lot more often considering I'm going into medicine, but I don't. Anywho, there was this poor girl with cancer, and I really cared about what happened to her! So, more updates on this as it develops.
So, tonight is Wednesday night right? That means that I have to be up at 6am Thursday morning. The smart thing to do, would be going to sleep right now. What have I done? I went to the store and bought a shitload of soup that was on sale. I also watched Southpark (a hillarious new episode), Kid Notorious (a surprisingly funny new show), and the new HomeStar cartoon. No link for that, the button is on the left, click it yourself.
Yup, so that's it. Shower time for me. Later, -T-

Dedicated to Timma and his unending need for updates... It’s a jam-packed WEEKEND UPDATE!
Current Music: Browns football!
Today’s Random Fact: Although walking the dogs in a downpour last night seemed like a good idea at the time, smelling my apartment in the morning proved otherwise.
So, it’s Sunday morning, only half-way through the weekend, and I’m already starting the update! Why so soon? Well my friends, I’ve got a lot to update!
Let’s start with Friday. School, work, blah, blah, blah... After work I shot home and finished the cleaning I started on Thursday night. Did all the dishes, organized all the Tupperware I had to send back to my mom, vacuumed, organized paperwork, that sort of thing. Then Eric came over and helped me move my bedroom set around. The bed alone weighs about 6,000 pounds, so it was a pain in the ass. It looks pretty sweet now. Finally fell asleep sometime around 5am.
Saturday! Got up and puttered around like an old man. Internet, breakfast, and bad 80’s movie on Comedy Central. Showered and got moving for my mandatory haircut. See, the women at work decided that if I was going to go out in public, I had to cut my ‘Jesus hair’. It was obscenely long, and the whole ‘I want to grow my hair out’ thing was getting old. I sat down and told the girl that since I didn’t make the appointment, she could to do whatever she wanted. Ended up chopping a lot off, it looks pretty good. After the haircut I met Eric at his place. We went to GNC and he got some NO2. It’s a supplement that’s supposed to boost blood flow and work better then creatine or something. I think it’s total bullshit, and since it cost $80 for a bottle that’ll last a month, it probably is. I dunno, they said it had a guarantee, so Eric bought it. Like I said, we’ll see. After that we went to the rec. center to work out. Haven’t done free-weights in a while, it’s totally different then the machines I normally use. Man do I with I had a full free-weights system at my place. Anywho, it was a great workout and I felt huge afterwards. More on that later.
Quick time out regarding supplements. I do not endorse the use of any supplement of any kind. This isn’t based solely on medical research; it’s based on my own experience. I took Ripped Fuel back at OU and it almost killed me. If you click the link you’ll notice they’ve discontinued that product. Hmm, I wonder why? Then recently I tried Creatine and it was a total waste of money. I let Eric take them because I have no choice in his doing so. I don’t know why I’m ranting on this, but every time I set foot in GNC it pisses me off. Shelves of useless crap... Ah well, back to the update.
So, after the workout I came home and chilled for a bit. Did some laundry, chatted online, not too much. Around 6ish I took Nick to see my dad, then came back here and almost fell asleep. Soon it was time to go out. Oh yeah, you need a little background on this.
Flashback to Thursday at work. I took a patient up to the floor and while getting ready to go back downstairs was approached by a nurse (Jill). She said that a group of the women from the floor were planning to go out Saturday and they were "really interested" in me going. I said sure and gave them my number. So, Saturday around noon I get the call from Jill telling me that they’re meeting down in the Warehouse district around 9pm. Okay, time to flash-forward to 8:30pm Saturday.
I took off for the bar around 8:30 and made great time getting downtown considering the light rain. Found a close parking spot (free on the street of course) and started walking towards the bar. Ended up walking up and down West 6th twice missing the bar both times. Asked a doorman at Johnny’s Bistro (my all-time favorite upscale restaurant) and he directed me back down to the other end of the road. Got to The Blind Pig a little after 9. The place wasn’t empty, but it was damn close. It was also cold as fuck. I didn’t realize it until later, but that’s because I was sitting right under a vent. Idiot! Anywho, after taking a quick scan of the bar, no nurses. No problem, they’re running fashionably late, want to make an entrance, that sort of thing. Ordered a Whiskey Sour and watched the Marlin’s-Yankee’s game. The band had just rolled in, so they were setting up. Watched them during commercials. 15 minutes later, the drink is empty, the band is doing sound checks, and the game is still tied at zero. Bored out of my mind. Ordered another Whiskey Sour. Marlins scored two. Band started singing. Almost finished the second drink when two ladies walk in. I knew the one, she’s an RN on the floor. The other is an aide, but I can’t remember her name. When the girls walked in, so did half of Cleveland. Seriously, the bar filled up pretty quick. The aforementioned band: Tripside started to jam, and they were pretty damn good. They played all covers, but they did them really really well. The lead singer was good (I’d be better) but the guitarists made the band. Those guys rocked hardcore. Watching them, I realized one thing. I NEED TO START A BAND! I need to. I HAVE to. I must... More on that later.
Yeah. So we sat at the bar a while, ‘drinkin drinks’ and chatting. We also watched the Marlin’s win. I’ve never been that disinterested in a baseball game in my entire life. Ever. So, then went downstairs to the DJ/dance area. I dazzled the ladies with my moves. In reality, they thought I looked the best when I accidentally slipped on the beer covered floor. If that’s my best move, I’m in serious need of help. We had a blast though, we even danced up on the little platform thing. Then some random chick got up there with us, she said something about getting away from a guy who was stalking her. There’s nothing better then dancing on a tiny platform with four other women. Back to the floor for more dancing (and drinking). Then we met another girl and it was off to The Velvet Dog. More dancing there, but no more drinking. I did chew some gum though. Damn did my jaw hurt after that. Stupid alcohol makes me think I can chew gum...
Yep. So, I left when the nurse that I knew decided to take off, so I did the gentleman thing and walked her to her car (truck, whatever). Then it was home to walk the dogs. I don’t know if it was the amount of alcohol I had consumed over the past few hours (a wee bit), the time change fuckup, or that the dogs had been slobbering all over all weekend, but I decided that letting them play in the rain was a good idea. Yup. So in the torrential downpour I let the dogs run. Then I came inside, dried off, and hit the sack.
Sunday Morning. Very confused why I was waking up so early. Realized I forgot to set my bedroom clock. Oops. Let the dogs out on the chain, took some aspirin (haven’t had a hangover in years, not going to start now), and went back to sleep. Woke up again a few hours later. At first I couldn’t figure out why my condo smelled like dog, then I remembered the whole "letting the dogs bathe in the rain" idea. Damnit. So I sprayed everything with to Febreeze. (Besides porn, the single most amazing product ever invented for single men.) Read the paper in bed and couldn’t figure out why I kept smelling something nasty. After a few minutes of careful deduction, I realized it was my own nasty ass breath. Yuck. Took a shower, brushed my teeth really well, and used Listerine.
Did the breakfast thing, had some Sunday coffee, and watched the Browns game. Then my bro called and I met him at my grandparents. Met my dad’s new girlfriend, watched the Browns lose (DAMNIT!), then went out to dinner with my grandparents. I hit it off with the hostess (what’s with me suddenly being so popular?) Offered to join them for drinks at the next door bar after their shift ended, but they were too young. Damnit. Ah well. Went to Eric’s house and ate tacos. Then got in a gunfight with him and Ty. Ended up soaking them with water and getting welts from being shot. Came home and played the guitar for a while (borrowed Eric’s, it’s different). Then I dropped off Gracie and came back home. I got my power saw and chopped down half a tree that’s been blocking a parking space. In the process I broke my power saw, blew out the work light I brought out there, and almost destroyed my extension cord. In the end I ripped off the offending tree branches with my bare hands. Terrific.
It’s time for some Collin’s Quotes!
- "I actually had a dream the other night that the Cubs played the Red Sox in the World Series. At the beginning of the game some people realized that a meteor was about to crash into Earth destroying all life- the Apocalypse. Reporters said to expect the meteor sometime in the bottom of the ninth. Half the people of Earth panicked, the other half said,'fuck it, I'm watching the game'
True story."
- "After having seen the Browns first hand in New England today, I have come to the conclusion that I really hate Bill Belichek. Pittsburgh ain't so great either"
So, what’s been bothering my lately? Those Nextel commercials for one. Stupid business people using their phones as walkie-talkies. Who the hell thought of this as a concept? Do they really think it’ll sell phones? I think it’ll get them fired.
Being a guy at a bar has certain responsibilities. You’re in charge of keeping unwanted guys off the ladies, you need to entertain them (that includes dancing for their amusement), and you need to carry the lighter. Yep, in case one of them smokes. (And one always will. "But only when I drink!") Last night, I was the guy. And I had a lighter. I swear, just having that lighter could get you laid.
I’m kinda sore today from working out. I’m more sore from dancing after falling up and down the steps over the past week.
I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can wear my tight black T-shirt. I bought it so I could look like Vic from The Shield. All buff in my tight shirt, the ladies love me! With the tight black shirt and the lighter... Why am I sleeping alone tonight?!?
One final note. I need to know who’s seen the following movies, and if they are worthy of making it onto the list of DVDs I need to buy. Leave your comments in the Tagboard. I paid for that damn thing!
Hulk - Got bad reviews, but is it worth it to see Hulk smash?
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle – Is it really as bad as I think?
The Italian Job – I can’t stand those stupid little cars, but how was the movie?
28 Days Later – Heard this rocked, anyone see it?
The French Connection – It won awards, but has anyone under 30 seen it?
Shaft – Almost bought this for $4.99, should I have?
Mad Max 1 and 2 – Has anyone seen these? It sounds like I should.
Dirty Harry – I haven’t seen any old westerns. Like ever. If not this one, which?
Okay, so leave comments on the ones you’ve seen. Later, -T-

WEEKEND UPDATE!
Current Music: Commercials on Comedy Central
Today’s Random Fact: Full strength Claritin is now available over the counter.
Yep, the weekend’s over. So what’d you do?
Nice. Not very interesting though.
Let’s see… Saturday I didn’t go to bed until after 5am. I woke up around 11 and played the guitar. After that it was time for some serious Internet time and watching of the television. I didn’t really do anything of use until I left around 6:30. I went on a hay-ride with my little bros and got hay everywhere. Then I came home and did the Internet thing again. I can’t remember when, but sometime during the day I watched Undercover Brother. It was pretty damn funny. Anywho though, I went on a buying and selling binge on eBay and half.com. I fell asleep early because I felt like shit all day.
Today I got up early and tried to get to church on time. Didn’t happen, but I did get there. Stayed for donuts and coffee and had very little of both. Came home and tried to watch the Browns game. If anything, it made me feel even sicker. Only one Collin’s Quote from the game. Pretty succinct though. "Catch the fucking ball!"
Fell asleep during the game and spared myself some of the pain. Woke up to watch them lose, got sick again.
Eric came over and we went to the mall to return a DVD player. Came back here and chilled. I watched Playmakers and he found hilarious personals online. I also did paperwork and stuff like that. Nothing really all that interesting, but got a lot done.
That’s it, I’m done. Time to cook some food for the week, then hit the sack. Later, -T-

What’s this? A Saturday Update?! You fucky luck! Wait, that didn’t work. Ah well.
Current Music: I’ve been watching VH1’s special on Southpark. I really need to buy those DVD sets. In fact, let’s go visit my eBay right now...
Today’s Random Fact: Two guys I went to high school with are now in a video game . I’d congratulate them personally, but they scare the hell out of me,
Quick note, my buddy Angela has entered the world of Blogging. Mad props to her. Don’t be scared of her being a total socialist, it’s just a college phase. She’ll grow out of it. Oh, you’re going to need a fast Internet connection, she’s quite fond of pictures. Click here.
Did anyone watch the Cubs and the Red Sox ruin any chance of a fun World Series? Yeah, I did too. For the record, my thoughts on the situation are this: Neither team is cursed. That’s a load of crap. They do share one problem though. THEY SUCK ASS! I mean damnit! What the hell is wrong with them?! And now we’ve got the Marlins and the Yankees. Not only is this going to be a massively uninteresting series, it’s pretty much common knowledge that the Yankees are going to kick some Florida ass. Damn it.
Speaking of the Chi and Bean town losses, it’s time for a Collin’s Quotes! This evening brings us three of Collin’s best away messages from the past week.
"Do to several varying circumstances- this weekend has been dubbed "ULTIMATE HOMEWORK WEEKEND!" Papers shall be written, books shall be read, and not one beer shall be drank... well, outside of the Game 7 of the Red Sox vs. Yankees game... and the Browns game... and maybe if I just fucking feel like it."
"The Sox may have lost, but I take comfort in the fact that Pittsburgh sucks. Sure it's not even the same sport and they really have nothing to do with each other, but I still take a gentle comfort in knowing this."
"To all Cubs and Red Sox fans:
Regarding: ‘You Don't Know What It's Like’
You've watched the Bulls, the Celtics, the Bears, and the Pats win the championships. So don't bitch to me that the Cubs and the Sox don't win, saying ‘you don't know what it's like’. YOU don't know what it's like when your football team fumbles the ball on the two yard line on their way to the Super Bowl. YOU don't know what it's like to constantly see your team get beat on Michael Jordan highlight videos. YOU don't know what it's like to have an entire man's career defined against your team as "The Drive"; YOU don't know what it's like to see your team lose the World Series by two outs thanks to Jose Mesa. And YOU don't know what it's like to have your football team taken away from you for three years. You're not from Cleveland"
Damn that’s a good quote. Since we’re on the topic, here’s a fun quote spoken to me by a co-worker: "Todd, if you become a doctor you’ll get any woman you want." Now if that’s not a reason to study I don’t know what is!
Hey, when did the concept of having a total lack of sleep go from being a competition to not? It used to be if you partied all night then did shit the next day you could brag. Take this example:
- "Oh man, I’m so wasted, I only got two hours of sleep last night."
- "You got two hours? Damn man, I only got one!"
- "Shit man, we’re fucking cool as hell."
- "Hell yeah bitch, rock on!"
See what I’m getting at there? It used to be fun and competitive at the same time. Now that a few years have past, not getting any sleep has totally lost its luster!
- "I am such a moron, I got no sleep last night."
- "Yeah, me neither. What were we thinking?"
- "I dunno, but I’m feel like shit."
- "Me too, I’m all nauseated and pissed off."
Then of course you get that asshole in the group who isn’t quite at the point everyone else is when it comes to not getting sleep.
- "What? You’re tired?! Damn bro, I haven’t slept in days and I feel great!"
Those assholes are probably on speed. Ignore them.
So, which situation applies to you? Are you still in the fun phase? Well just wait my friend, because it ends fast. This is what is involved in being an adult? Damnit!
I really like the ice-cream cones at McDonalds. It’ll be 6am and I’ll be driving to class, and I still get a craving for one. They’re only 79 cents! Someone once told me that if I saw how they made the "ice cream" from the white goop they put into the machine, I’d never eat them again. Well, I have no plans on seeing that, so there!
The other day the wind was so bad that it pushed a dumpster into the middle of Chester (a fairly busy street in Cleveland). I’m not sure, but the concept of a massive black steel object being moved to the middle of a busy street by a freak act of nature really looked like God was trying to kill someone. If I had been in that lane I’d be dead now! It was pitch black and raining!
You might know The Macho Man Randy Savage from his time as a wrestler in the late 80’s/early 90’s. You also might know him as the primary spokesman for Slim Jims. Well, now you can know him for this . Be afraid...
Well, that’s enough for now. The official WEEKEND UPDATE will be posted later tomorrow night. Later! -T-
Current Music: I’ve been watching VH1’s special on Southpark. I really need to buy those DVD sets. In fact, let’s go visit my eBay right now...
Today’s Random Fact: Two guys I went to high school with are now in a video game . I’d congratulate them personally, but they scare the hell out of me,
Quick note, my buddy Angela has entered the world of Blogging. Mad props to her. Don’t be scared of her being a total socialist, it’s just a college phase. She’ll grow out of it. Oh, you’re going to need a fast Internet connection, she’s quite fond of pictures. Click here.
Did anyone watch the Cubs and the Red Sox ruin any chance of a fun World Series? Yeah, I did too. For the record, my thoughts on the situation are this: Neither team is cursed. That’s a load of crap. They do share one problem though. THEY SUCK ASS! I mean damnit! What the hell is wrong with them?! And now we’ve got the Marlins and the Yankees. Not only is this going to be a massively uninteresting series, it’s pretty much common knowledge that the Yankees are going to kick some Florida ass. Damn it.
Speaking of the Chi and Bean town losses, it’s time for a Collin’s Quotes! This evening brings us three of Collin’s best away messages from the past week.
"Do to several varying circumstances- this weekend has been dubbed "ULTIMATE HOMEWORK WEEKEND!" Papers shall be written, books shall be read, and not one beer shall be drank... well, outside of the Game 7 of the Red Sox vs. Yankees game... and the Browns game... and maybe if I just fucking feel like it."

Well, it’s late, I should be doing homework, but you’re overdue for a WEEKEND UPDATE!
Current Music: "Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting" by Nickelback
Today’s Random Fact: Green Tea is good and good for you!
Friday (in a nutshell): Work, home early, shower, surprise Ash visit, not a lot of sleep.
Saturday: Got up really early to go to Race for the Cure. There was a ton of traffic for that early on a Saturday, so that sucked. What also sucked was trying to find people from work, who were NOT wearing the solid blue shirts they were supposed to. I eventually did find some people, luckily I found the ones I wanted to run with right before the race started. They started the race and 20,000 or so people started walking! I was so pissed. It took so long to break through the crowd and start running. Another thing that sucked was the fact that they were stopping the race to let traffic through at some streets. That really fucked up my pace. It didn’t take long for me to lose the people I was running with. I found them again after the race, but it kinda sucked because they weren’t really into talking (well, to me anyway), they just sat there. After the race I was going to go rock-climbing with Eric, but he wasn’t ready, so I went to a co-workers party for a bit. I left there kinda disappointed and feeling lonely. Ended up not going climbing, so I went home. I watched some SNL on Comedy Central then went to my brother’s place and helped them paint their playground. I came back home and chilled out watching Super Mario Brothers (the movie). I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid, but now it just seems really silly. What’s really odd is they left the end totally setup for a sequel and they never made one! How odd. Lauren called soon after the movie was over and wanted to know if I would go out for cheap Mexican food with her and two friends from college. I readily agreed.
After feeling shitty previously in the day, it was a blast hanging out with Lauren and my two new friends Jamie and Colleen. The Mexican guys at the restaurant were very into Lauren. It was hilarious. After dinner went to the store to buy some party supplies, then went to my place. We decided on watching Basic Instinct, which amazed Lauren with its graphic sexuality. I invented a new drink too. It’s Tropicana's orange, banana, pineapple juice mixed with Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay. The CM is coconut flavored, so it's pretty damn good. Then we popped in Office Space and four of Lauren’s friends came over. It was like a reverse of Queer Eye. I was talking to three gay guys about sports. Odd, but fun. It was during this sports conversation however that I heard about OSU’s loss. I was shocked! Also, I was asked why I had my Christmas tree up so early. Yep, now it’s officially up early, not up really late. If you don’t get that, read the Autobiography . Everything wrapped up after 2, and I took the ladies home. I came home and read a bit, but I was totally exhausted from not sleeping a lot the night before and running early in the morning. I hit the sack around 4.
Fast Forward until 6am. Neighbor’s dog is barking it’s f-ing head off. I close the window and turn on the radio for background noise. I fell asleep again within seconds.
Fast Forward until 11am. Dog’s whining to go out. I put her out on the chain and fall back asleep within minutes.
Fast Forward until a little after 12 noon. Have an awful dream that I slept through the Browns game. Wake up upset, then realize I didn’t and still have time to make breakfast before it starts! Woohoo!
Browns game: It kinda sucked in the beginning, but had a great second half. I was online with Rachelle for the last two minutes doing a running play-by-play. It was so damn exciting! We won, it was a terrific ending. "Awesome Phil Dawson" made a great play faking a field goal attempt and running for a first down, William Green ran for 145 yards, and Tim Couch was 16/26 for 127 yards with two sacks. Final Score: Cleveland 13, Oakland 7.
Now it’s time for Collin’s Quotes! This is the regular section after Browns games where I post some of Collin’s best quotes. I accidentally forgot to post the ones from the Steelers game, so let’s do those first:
- "I never doubted Couch."
- "The people in Pittsburgh didn't paint their face for the game... they're just that ugly."
- "This game isn't like life or death... it's more important."
And now the one from this week:
- "Collin, I have an extra ticket to the Patriots game. You want to go?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Browns are playing."
"Yeah, but we're tailgating and going to the stadium, and it's gonna be sweet."
"Do you think I give a rat's ass about what's going on in Gillete Stadium between the Patriots and the Giants while the Browns are playing? Fuck off, I'm going to a bar to watch the Browns cripple Oakland like Esse cripples a new neighbor."
After the Browns game I did a ton of dishes, then took a shower. Right after that Lauren called and I picked up her and the girls and we went to FUGI! It’s a Japanese Habachi place that I love. It’s seriously the best food ever. It was a lot of fun, the girls seemed to like it. We took a short trip to Walmart afterwards and they bought some random stuff. I almost bought two more DVDs, but used a considerable amount of will power and set them aside. (Let’s not mention that I did buy two DVDs at the store Saturday night when I was buying party supplies). After shopping, I took the girls back home and met Eric at my Grandparents house for a quick visit. From there I went back over the to girls’ place and we watched "Mary Reilly." Um, odd movie. Very odd. Then we just bullshitted for a while, I introduced the girls to the world of HomeStarRunner, and eventually I came home. It was really fun spending the weekend with Lauren, Colleen, and Jamie. I really should go down there and visit them later this year. It’s really late now though and instead of doing homework, I’ve been writing an update. Terrific. Ah well, I have to keep my fans happy! I’ll do homework tomorrow. Later, -T-

WEEKEND UPDATE!
Current Music: Browns Post-Game on 100.7 WMMS
Today’s Random Fact: We beat the Steelers, and damn did it feel good!
Good Idea: Eating good food at a clambake.
Bad Idea: Eating three dozen clams, 2 dozen muscles, 2 salads, a baked potato, an ear of corn, and a piece of chicken; coming home and eating two roast-beef and cheddar sandwiches and a piece of pizza; then going to the gym and trying to run five miles.
Yeah, so I tried to run while I watched the second half of the Browns game. Um, running after you eat that much is just stupid. I fought off nausea for the first four miles. It sucked. I did it though, so that felt good.
What did I do yesterday? Well, not that much. I sat around and watched a lot of TV, cleaned the apartment, played with the dog, and watched even more TV. It was really nice to just chill. I was going to go to bed around 3, but then I found PlayMakers on ESPN. I watched the last two episodes in a row and now I’m totally hooked. It’s a damn good show.
Well, I’ve got a ton of work to do tonight, so I’m going to cut this short. New SB e-mail tomorrow! Later, -T-

FUCK IS IT COLD!
There’s no sense in fighting it anymore, I’m caving and turning on my heat. If that isn’t a reason to UPDATE, I don’t know what is!
Current Music: I have been playing the guitar up to this point, so I’ve got about a dozen songs in my head at the moment. Let’s chalk up "Your Love" by The Outfield as the primary.
Today’s Random Fact: Apparently I’m the only person over 21 who hasn’t grasped the concept of "bar time". I guess all bars set their clocks ahead by about 15 minutes so you think it’s later then it really is. Or something like that. Who’s fucking idea was this? That makes as much sense as setting your alarm clock fast so you freak out in the morning. Eventually you’re going to get used to it and assume you have an extra 15 minutes. What happens when the power goes out and someone sets it for the right time? What then? WHAT THEN?!? You’re screwed, that’s what. Fuck setting the clocks ahead and fuck "bar time".
Woah, where did that come from? See this is what happens when I don’t get to update enough.
So anyway...
What did I do today? Well thanks for asking! I totally slept in because I pretty damn tired, then I went to work. That about sums up the majority of my day. After work however, I was bored. Out of all things I decided to call up my dad and see what he was doing. I know, that sounds really odd, but I haven’t seen the old guy in a while. We met up at the bar that I went to with RedHot. Cheap beer, good music from the jukebox, and tales of big-breasted women my dad has met. It was actually pretty fun! We left around 2:15 (2:30 bar time, FUCK YOU BAR TIME!). I got home and had the urge to play the guitar, so I whipped it out (not that you sicko) and started to play. (I said not that!) I played until after 4. I know that’s a long time, but I can go all night. (You can take that however you want.)
Yeah, so did I mention it’s cold? I hadn’t turned my heat on yet even though it snowed earlier this week. Yeah, broke a 30-something year record for the earliest snowfall. Terrific. Nothing like a nice ball-chilling morning to ruin your day. Oh yeah, it’s been raining a lot. Cold rain. Damnit.
Oh, random thought from my trip to NYC a few weeks back. Bottled gases and campers are prohibited in the Holland tunnel right? So riddle me this Batman, why is it okay for automobiles to be in the tunnel? Don’t they each have a tank-full of gas just waiting to explode? Huh? Don’t they?
Hey, scroll back up and check out the DVD list. Yep, I added something else. A list of the DVDs I want. That’s right, if you ever need an idea of what to buy me for Christmas, my birthday, Groundhog Day, Armistice Day, whatever, just go to the list! I’ll keep it updated as I acquire DVDs from the list and as I think of more I want. Also, stay tuned this holiday season for an expanded Christmas List!
So, I think you’re pretty much up to date. I’ll give you a nice juicy WEEKEND UPDATE after I do some things worth mentioning. Until then, I’m off to eat a creamsicle and then hit the sack. It’s after 5am and I’m getting kinda sleepy. Later, -T-
