Friday night lights....


Its funny that my trip to Ohio still haunts me. I was gone for 2 weeks and just have not felt in rythm with october. I get hope and start prepping for winter. Foam in the basement windows, cleaning the gutters , sealing drafts. I guess I missed the nicer part of fall in IL. This month is has been cold. Ice on the windows in the morning, small heater in the bathroom so I can shower. I'm already looking in to doing a coolent change for the Jeep for a deep winter cycle. We are about 15-20 degrees below what October should be. Halloween is going to be cold and rainy....

Tuesdays rant and yes a zombie...



A few weeks ago I sold a car to an older lady and she had such a fun time. At the end she gave me 8 of the "Left Behind" series of books. I started reading the first one in the internet office today. In that office I sit and baby sit the phones and answer email. One on my co workers is working next to me and smikrs at the book. I ask her why?? She responds about the Rapture and leaving all behind is a modern itea and she has a master in theology. Blah blah blagh. I talk to her for a second and ask her to keep out of my book and I would like it to be a little more quiet in the office so I can read. She then goes off on how I need it quiet. I stop and ask about her Masters degree in theology. I pause and simply unload both barrels... Wow it does you a lot off good here shagging cars. Me and Chris (another co workers) have NO degrees between us and sell twice as many cars as you. Good luck with that degree. .... At this point she is fuming at me and at herself on how much of a bitch she sounded like. I've trumped her before once when she was trying to sound intelligent about wines and beers.... bad mistake. It sounded like she just watched "sideways" and wanted to sound snooty. I used to sell wines for a living and buy them wholesale for a store or two. And yes I an a BIG beer geek....
--Stay out of my business about religion. You may have a masteres in Thelogy but no spirit in your heart. I have no heart.
--Stay out of my business about beer or wine unless you are buying me a round. Then you have until I finish my beer to impress me about that particular beer. ....End Rant.

Sunday football


Quarterback Brett Farve, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God started showing him around.

They came to a modest little house with a faded Packers flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Brett," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Brett felt special indeed and walked up to his house.On his way up to the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three-story mansion with a blue and orange sidewalk, 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Bears logo flag, and in every window, a blue helmet with a "C" on it.

Brett looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an All-Pro Quarterback, I won a Super Bowl, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said, "So what do you want to know, Brett?"

"Well, why does Walter Payton get a better house than me?"

God chuckled and said, "Brett, that's not Walter Payton's house, it's mine."

1806



Today the power when off in the house today for about 3 hours. We had candles out and through out the house. It was odd. Out of habbit I "turned on" th epower when I went to the bathroom. My hand just flipped the switch. I read stories to the kids by candle light and told them that grand ma and grand pa grew up in very similar conditions. Coal stoves and oil lamps. They actually had an outhouse on their property. It was neat being in the flickering lights and moving room to room with a lamp. The sum of the 21 century left me at the flick of a switch. No lights, no TV, no computer, Mircowave and fridge gone. The truth be told it was qite scary for a bit. Old horror stories went on in my head. Zombies and aliens creeping in the shadows. ...... Just like a movie it was over in a few short hours.

Return of the...



This movie freaked the shit out of me ..... It was fun and creepy as hell. THe Leather clad "Punk" that was eaten by the Tarman zombie is from the next burb over from me. I loved the sound track and the whole feel of the movie.

**Since I was adding buttons I've added Waiter Rant and and adding What is it? Both great blogs that are well done and should be read when given time.

20 years and nothings changed....



Well I did not go to my 20th but I did go to a bar with several friends. The bar is a small local dive , but it has about 100 beers on tap and bottle. It had a local cover band called "Choice of potato" they were fun. We gabbed and drank and then drank some more. About 10 pm my phone would not stop ringing with people begging me to come. I stood my ground and was actually accused of protesting the 20th. I laughed and invited them to join me afterwards. About 9-10 people did show up after to make it to last call... It was nice to see some and sad to see how some have not grown up. I know my burn out past and its no big deal. Some guys get locked in to that one moment and live in it after the glory days are long gone. *** during a round or 2 of good beer It was my turn to buy beers. I bought one of my co beer snob friends an miller light. To us it was an insult.... It made me laugh... It was good to get out and good to see some. But I don't think I'm going to do too much extra calling.


***** 2 buttons that I've added. One is the Random blog button. I found it by accident. Its much better than the "next blog button". No porn or ads. The second is a button for Post secret. Its a wonderful site and its almost comforting that some where some one has the same thoughts feeling and secrets as you.

I went to target to buy some make up for one of the kids and the Christmas studd was out already. arrrrg that pisses me off more and more. so we noe have to deal with 2 full months of xmas shopping now? Fuck that. I'm still painting skulls and deciding on where to hand a few bats in the trees. Its the one time of year that I do look out for because some cool horror movies usually come out. -- Ive just finnished a fun zombie book called Monster Island by Davis wellington.

monkey




Well its been awhile since I've put up a pic of a monkey so I owed ya that much. I've decided not to go to my 20th High School reunion. Somthing inside me just said no to the whole debaucle. The way I look at it is - That I alread stayed friends with the people that I wanted to from High School. -- The others never threw me a phone call or any thing like that. My parents have had the same phone number since 1970. So it not like they could have not gotten a hold of me. My emails on the Highschools web page .

The class was highly fragmented along class lines. I was not rich , but my parents may sure that I had a good private education. I was also Mexician, a stoner, metal head and oddly enough in all the acclerated science and math classes. So I was this headbanggin stoner nerd.... I was king of the burn outs. Any ways I'm meeting some friends of mine at a neighborhood tap after the whole shindig for some beers and chat.

Fuck...


Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.


You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

Strangeness...


Yesterday at work I received a call from a co worker at another store. It was urgent and I needed to call him back right away. .... I went to Ohio with 2 other men that worked for the company. I worked close with these guys for 14 days. Nice guys. .... It turns out that one of the men I worked with had died in his sleep on Tuesday night. In his sleep and out of the blue. I just saw him on Tuesday in the afternoon and made plans to grab lunch soon. Son of a bitch... Its funny how stupid your brain get when you hear news like that. I thought of the $4 dollars he owed me .... Imagine that that what my brain thought of. Not about his family or anything else like that but four fucking dollars. I shrugged the money off right away and sat there stunned.... Im waiting on news for the wake. Its funny if he would have died while on a work trip his family would have gotten an extra $200,000 of insurance money. I know that I would have paid that amount and more to have spent one more day with my uncle. Good bye Dwayne, good bye. It was nice getting to know a good person in a sea of idiots.
