Not a typical Thursday night…
After an invite from Trav’s buddy Astro, I decided to jump in on his College Football thread – yikes – one tough room ! The guys all seem pretty cool, and probably were fairly easy on me (at first) since I was new. Things quickly went downhill with the jabs, name-calling and sexual refs, but I think I held my own.
I got sucked in for a couple hours, and Lisa was a real trooper about it. I’ll jump in the Shark Tank again, because where else can you be referred to as a ”pedophile”, a ”perv” and a ”necropheliac/incestuous/catholic/irish/myspace fag dude” (thanks Dan) and feel OK about yourself ? Snake, thanks for having my back buddy. But hey – I never said I was Catholic…
Update : I think it was sk8 that called me an “emo myspace cutter” – that one still cracks me up…
Happier Holidays !
A few years ago my wife – we’ll call her Lisa – and I decided that we would stop giving gifts to each for Christmas and other occasions. The last couple years we decided that we would not exchange gifts with adult family members because we felt that the act had lost it’s meaning. The kids still get gifts – cash for the older ones and presents for the younger.
As we were out and about running errands recently I couldn’t help but realize how much time is saved and stress reduced due to not “worrying about the holidays”. It may not be for everyone, but it sure works for us. People have obviously lost focus on what’s important here – you can see it in their eyes, on their faces. We spend time with our families during the holidays like everyone else, but we’re certainly in a better frame of mind for what we DIDN’T “get” this Christmas…
Hello world!
Well, this is Day One. I’m not sure how this will evolve, or if I’ll even stick with it, but here goes. Got the idea (most recently, anyways) from Snakeye (http://snakeye.us), co-star of the widely popular “The Pam & Trav Show”. I’ve thought about a blog in the past but not sure if it’s anything I’d be interested in doing myself. I’ve been on Stalker.com, er, myspace.com for a couple years now, but I don’t really like the format. Good concept, too limiting - unless you really want to devote the time & effort – which I don’t. Well that’s all for now, sports fans. Happy Holidays, my best to you and your’s, and… Goooooooooo IRISH !!! (osu also)…
