Iphone 4

It amazes me that people will take days off of work, if they do work, and stand in line for an Iphone overnight. If these people took 1/150th of the time they took to stand in line all day and actually did 5 minutes of research they would know that they could pre-order the phone and have it on their doorstep the day or the day before it comes out. That way they could still take the day or days off from work (still assuming these people have jobs) and wait for the postman to come. I would wake up, eat some waffles with peanut butter, play some call of duty, take a nap, and then answer the UPS knock in my boxers to sign for my package. Now that is being part of something. Not waiting in line like an idiot for 2 days.


Ohh. And this is what I got for my birthday from Wiltin. I don't know where he got this but it is not going on the back of my car.

Idiots

Ya know what really grinds my gears? Idiots.

So a few weeks ago I went to take Jenna out and throw the ball with her and I saw a pile of poop in my yard and I knew right away that it was not Jenna's. (Hate to say it but I know with 90% certainty what my dogs crap looks like.) So I take the dog out a few days later and see 4-5 piles of poo in the same place. That's when I started to get pissed. Ohh yeah. I was already pissed and I haven't even started the story yet. So This past Thursday I see a few giant tirds right where I walk out the front door. I am thinking this is ridiculous. But Jenna is the biggest dog in the subdivision as far as I know. So what is going on?
Sunday morning, Kevin and I are out in the backyard working on the deck when my next door neighbor comes over and tells me that yesterday she came out of her house because the lady up the street was banging a shovel in my front yard. She said it went something like this.
-What are you doing?
-His F***ing dog keeps shitting in my yard and I am going to bring it down here every time he does it. I stepped in this shit with my Gucci shoes on.

So I sit down and actually think about what my neighbor just told me. Is that really why there is crap in my yard. Because some crazy lady up the street thinks that my dog runs 7 houses up the street, takes a dump, and runs back to my house before I even know she is gone? That she would actually take a shovel and walk 7 housed down and put dookie in my front yard? And not just knock on my door? I mean, almost anything I do from this point on would be in the right. Right?
So I wait a half hour till Mandy gets home and tell her the story. So we decided to go up to their house and see what the hell is going on. Mandy and I knock on the door for about 5 min. and no one is home so we left. As we are walking away we see their car pull up and decide to head back up there. So now we know that both of them are home. I ring the doorbell for about 5 minutes. Then start with the police knocks. Yes. I was banging on the door. It was awesome. ..Probably about 5 minutes of knocking this guy answers the door and says he was in the bathroom. Mandy thinks I am going to introduce myself and all that jazz. I went straight into it. "Hey, I just wanted you to know that it's not my dog that has been shitting on your yard and I would appreciate it if you would stop walking dog sh!t down to my house".. Basically all he said was "ohh. that is our bad assumption. We saw a black lab in our yard." So I said. "Ohh, so you see a black lab? That guy has a lab. Let's go dump Shit in his yard. Is that what happened?" Again. "That was our bad assumption"

So I keep thinking, These people woke up this morning and said "Nope, not going to knock on his door, I am going to take a shovel and walk down there and dump poop in his yard." .... Idiots.

Weekend Project.

So, last Saturday March 27th Ed Kirn, Quint, Chris Flint, Kevin Kavanaugh, Mandy and myself got together to try and add on a 12 X 10 foot section onto the end of our existing deck. With all the talking and ideas floating around about how to install a ledger board and the best way to screw in a carriage bolt, we didn't get very far. Ohh, and I never knew that everyone in the world is a deck building expert!! For the weekend all that was completed was ripping the siding off the house and digging 2 holes. In one of the holes we managed to find a full size truck tire that we had to remove which made the hole 3 times bigger than needed. I went to bed on Sunday night feeling pretty pissed off about our progress. Quint came over throughout the week and we managed to fill some of the holes with concrete for a base. Progress was slow.

By the time Saturday came around, we had built about 50 decks in our head and we were all ready for the big time. We had the lumber ready, the tools for the job, the best 1/2 inch drill on the market, and something we didn't have the weekend before. A Plan. After a few slow moments in the morning, each board that went up allowed the next board to go up exponentially faster and easier. At the end of the day we had a 99% finished deck to sit on. We still need to do the railing this week but I think we all had a blast and have something to show for it. Thank you so much for all your help everyone. Mandy and I are really excited.

End of the first weekend.


Second weekend.

Alright Lady GaGa, What are we supposed to be getting from all this? Sure, I love getting hammered and jumping up and down to "Just Dance". But Where does all the other stuff come from? Why do you have to be so weird? I can see why Biggie and Tupac carried guns, but why do you have to be so ghetto? You're the Marilyn Manson version of Britney Spears. Whatever you are doing is working because I can't stand you. Keep laying down those tracks though.

I'll give a shout to Danielle for bringing all this to my attention. Check out itsclassified.wordpress.com/

Steeler Fans.

What made it okay for sports fans to talk about what could have been in any past season? I think we all know that anyone can beat anyone on any given day. It might be 1 out of 1000 but there is still a chance. Who cares if your team lost 7 games by 3 points or less. You didn't close it out. You didn't win. As far as I'm concerned you got blown out by 30 points. "Ohh, but if so-and-so would have caught that pass." Yeah. Well, he didn't and you lost. Nobody expects you to win the Super Bowl every year. It's a hard thing to do.

And please slap anyone who says that Jimmie Johnson would have never won a Sprint cup if the rules were different. The drivers play by the rules they are given. If they changed the rules, they would change their goals. And please explain why Jimmie can win 30% of the races he runs but Lowe's still can't hire a decent employee?

Movie quote of the day. "Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you"

Here goes.

Ya know what really grinds my gears? People that have stick figure stickers of their whole family on their car. I always think to myself how the first conversation went when the wife or husband said. "Hey honey, I think we should drive to the store and purchase stick figures of our family and put it on the back of our car... Ohh and the dog too. That would be awesome." ... I have been shopping before, I have never seen any of these stickers anywhere. Maybe they only sell those stickers at The Gap because I have not been in there in 15 years. How is that place still in business??.. Ohh. Old Navy.

And just because it's my first post, don't think that you guys that use your flashers in the rain are getting away with what you do. Why don't we see how many extra accidents you can cause? If it is raining SO hard that you have to put on your flashers, then you should pull over. Let's think about it this way. Imagine if everyone on the whole highway was forced to put their flashers on in the rain. You would have no idea where anyone was every 1.5 seconds.
