Still trying to recover

Finally had some plans on a Friday night. One of the guys I work with is in a band and a group of us from the office went to see him play last night. The way it was originally put to me is that the show started at 8. Then I heard that his band wasn't starting to play until 9:30. In reality, they didn't go on until 11 because there were a couple of other bands that came on before them.

My clothes were vibrated clean they were so loud. As smart as I am, though... I brought my earplugs. As crazy as that sounds I could hear the band much better and my ears weren't ringing afterwards.

Before the show, a large part of the group met at a local sports bar -- with a country flair. One of the women that I work with (and was not expecting to see there) was there with her sister. Let's just say her sister was a little hottie and be done with it. Hottie-sis and I played a game of pool and I was Mr. Glib -- by losing the game because I sunk the eight-ball on one of my shots. I even told her I would probably do that. I think I jinxed myself.

That's all I can think of for now. I'll write more later.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Neighbors

I must admit that my neighbors haven’t given me much of an issue lately but that’s only because they haven’t been to their house lately. Let me catch you up. For a number of years I have lived next to this average family. They are of African-American descent, but that doesn’t really factor much into this story. The father looks like he worked a physical job – maybe construction – but is retired due to disability. He walks around his yard sort of like Fred Sanford. A while back I recall seeing an older daughter but I think she’s long since moved away. The two sons I see quite a bit. They seem to be moving all the time. If they’re not coming from or going to work, one of their friends is coming by to pick them up and they’re off. I only know this because I hear the loud music being played when people are coming or going. One of them had a problem with their tire and asked if I couldn’t drop them off at a nearby gas station so they could fill it with air. I was running a little late but I...

I hate being sick

I think that pretty much sums it up. I really don't like being sick. I don't like that feeling of being weak or vulnerable. I don't want people walking up to me, saying "can I get you some tea?" or some crap like that. I'm not so weak that I can't get it myself. I'm also not the kind of person who takes a lot of pills -- except when I'm sick. I pop pills, I'll drink weird fluids... anything that will help get me over my sickness faster. I really dislike the drain on my energy. I like being able to do what I want to do when I want to do it. I don't like sitting at home, catatonic, watching Dr. Phil and Regis & Kelly. What kind of crap is that? It really does NOT work for me when I'm hungry and I don't feel like eating. On an average day, I'd rather drink something than eat. I'm usually more thirsty than hungry. If I could get all my nutrition from drinking, I'd probably do that. I'm not talking about those thick s...
