Because you are my friend

Thanks for sending this James H.

1. When you are sad, I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile, I will know you finally got laid.
4. When you are scared, I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
6. When you are confused, I will use little words.
7. When you are sick, stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall, I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass, and then think about helping your dumbass up.

This is my oath. I pledge it till the end.
Why, you may ask; because you are my friend!
Remember : A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel.

Quote of the Day

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Peter Carr 1785-09-19

Picture of the week

Hunter!!

Man I loved this show. He looks great still. Watch the interview and towards the end you will learn a very interesting little tidbit about him. He almost did another TV show instead of Hunter.

BLOGGING

Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

Back To Work

Well the holidays are over. The kids head back to school Monday and I am pretty much through taking time off until my normal vacation time in August. I have a few Boy Scout overnighters but other than that it's back to on call 24/7. We had a great holiday. As you noticed in previous posts, we went to the Mall of America in Minneapolis on New Year's Eve. However, that wasn't the primary reason we went to MN. We were invited to a New Year's party by a fellow blogger who I think had been following my blog, and I following her blog, since I got my i760. She was gracious (crazy) enough to invite us to stay at her home. It was great being able to meet someone in person that I met through the blog. It was an opportunity that I am glad I didn't pass up, although driving 24+ hours in five days with wifey and three kids was a challenge (crazy). It is my resolution to be able to extend the same gesture to someone else this year :)

I am actually blogging this from work. I got home late last night and had a call waiting for me, so there has unfortunately been no time to catch my breath from the trip. Unfortunately there will also be no time to get the tree down. Now I wish I had gotten a live one, so I could just pitch it out the door!

Leftover Holiday Links

Stuff in my RSS feeds I saved. I hope everyone had a great holiday.

Shortening your jeans.

I thought I could taste the difference between regular and decaf?

Awesome patio lamp made from toilet plunger.

I hope they make one of these for cigars.

Here is the explanation

"The hotel detectives were outta sight"

Well if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know I am staying at a hotel tonight. While I was at our company Christmas Party my brother-in-law stopped at my house and while walking through our breezeway kicked over a gallon can of two-cycle gas. I am not sure how but he must not have noticed right away because the whole gallon spilled out. Had it been straight gas it prolly would have evaporated on its own, but with the oil mixed it made a smelly slippery mess, which proceeded to fill our whole house with gas fumes. BAD. After throwing everything from our breezeway outside and dumping about 20lbs of Floor-Dri over the spill, we still had the smell. If it were just me I would have stayed. We opened a few windows and off to Holiday Inn Express we went. So I am down enjoying a pretty good continental breakfast along with my BT tethered connection (wifi not free here, this is faster anyways).

Oh BTW any decent rock fan shold recognize the title to my post.

Do you feel like I do? wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa

The only thing missing is a young Kirk leaning into the screen and saying through gritted teeth "FIRE!"

Diet Update

I am now 189 lbs. Started out at 212 on October 1. I haven't taken my weight loss meds in almost a week and continue to have the same eating habits while I was on them. Hope it stays that way!

Here is Toolman's
Band Name: Rochal
Debut Album: When they gave up

Toolman's might be the overall best, it is quite funny looking at Shindo's cover and saying the album name to yourself at the same time. Mine has the look and feel of a World Beat album. FloydWing's album......a band named West Bend, IA.....not sure how to describe that one.

Our debut album

Well good ole FloydWing did the Debut Album trick that I posted yesterday. I think mine came out cooler than his.

My bands name: Fazle Lohani
The name of my debut album: examining his wive's mouths
My album cover:

Not bad eh?

OK here is FloydWing's

FW's band name: West Bend, IA
The name of FW's debut album: Top of One's Voice
FW's album cover:
If anyone else does their debut album feel free to send it in to me and I will post it.
