My life as it happens

For the holiday.

See ya when I get back.

Do try not to commit blog suicide while I'm gone, Please.

Only have to work 3 days this week then a bank holiday on Thursday and Friday. It's Thanksgiving over here so this is when most people stuff themselves with a 4000 calorie meal and the start of the holiday 10 (10 pounds of weight gain). Many people use the excuse of eating so much so they have energy for Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving where stores have massive sales and open at like 3 A.M. to get the early bird shopper. It's fecking ridiculous and I'm glad I have an opportunity to spend some more time on the family that I don't usually get to see.

Over the last year I have become better about what I eat and how much and I actually lost weight over the holidays. Hopefully I will be just as good and not gorge myself as so many others typically do over a holiday feast.

I didn't get tagged that I know of so I just Nic'ed it from others.

#1) I actually love the hustle and bustle of the city. I simply wish it didn't take me so damn long to get here. There is a lot to see downtown and in the city that you can't find in the country obviously. I guess I like a little culture every now and then.

#2) I don't like cooked potatoes. It's the texture or mouth feel I don't like. The taste isn't to bad but I would rather eat a raw potato than a cooked one any day.

#3) I hate baseball and basketball, never could stand them.

#4) I don't like white bread. I'm talking about the iron kids style pre-cut white loaf. I like a multigrain or rye, sourdoughs, pumpernickel, etc. Just not the overly mass produced crap.

#5) I chewed tobacco most of my adult life, ya another American stereotype and quit about 6 months ago.

#6) I like to watch romantic comedies and have a hard time watching stupid comedy movies.

#7) I have a Bachelors in Animal Science and a Master's in Grain Science and work in an industry that is 95% industrial and has nothing to do with previous degrees.

Are going to take down your face avatar at the end of this day?

I've found it interesting to see someones pic and their old avatar. Some go together, some you just kinda scratch your head at.

I just found this cover. Some say Slash is overrated, I say he has his moments like everyone else and that's what makes him so good..

I don't know what has got into me today but I have been on youtube all morning and afternoon listening to hair bands. White Lion, the original GNR, L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Poison, Lita Ford, Vixen, Heart, etc.

Now all I want to do is get home, turn on the computer and jam on the guitar. Oh yeah, the sound cards out on the motherboard of my computer and I can't put another one in. Damn, that sucks!

Oh well, I'll just have to make it up as I go along.

from myspace to facebook. I've resisted long enough and since they have blocked myspace and not face book at work what's a guy to do.

For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.
One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin His reputation or his marriage, He paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise The child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for the Child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. 'Honey, 'she said, 'You received a very strange post card today.'
'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later,' he said. The
wife obeyed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written:

'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.

Three with meatballs, two without.

Send extra sauce.

Just so you know, this picture is not a factual representation of what Nick's desk looks like

Well, I just got back from a business trip last night and I'm doing the regular rigamaroe of trying to get shit caught up. I can say that it was a fun trip since all expenses paid, but I did miss my dogs and the fact they had to stay in the kennel all week.

I can also say that I'm glad I haven't had a week like Nick has had, but I can say I'm sure I'm going to have just as much fun this weekend. I must remember to respect the Vodka. I'm headed to a sheepdog trial this weekend, last one of the year for me and it's going to be a big one. The plus side is I'm going to a part of the U.S. where they still make their own whiskey. If you ever thought that vodka kicked your ass when you didn't respect it, try moonshine .

Anyways, I'm sure I'll drop by tomorrow.
