caddyshack

in an effort to humor all, the name of this blog is now going to be all caddyshack movie quotes.

for future updates, let me know your favorite lines from the movie.

"you're a little monkey woman!"

Music

one of the worst things about being out of the McLean office is the lack of new music. my undisclosed, new music source can no longer leave presents on my computer. no samplers, no brand new albumns from incubus, no cool stuff i haven't even heard of yet.

it is embarasing to say that i have to get my new music from the public radio! i hear a song on DC 101 that they had been playing for sometime now apparently. hell i did not know. i am used to being tired of a new song before it even hits the radio.

tell me this to all of you that are "in the know".

is CREED still hot? YEAH CREED!

NASCAR (cont.)

follow-up from yesterdays NASCAR focus group.
so i am sitting there in the group filling out my paperwork eating a free sandwich, the lady calles me out to the hall. "i thought you said you had a NexTel cell phone..." no i replied. "well that is a problem, this is a focus group for NexTel users and NASCAR..." i knew this, but she never really asked me what phone service i had, she was too excited about me going to Daytona last week. she tells me she will work it out and to go back and sit down, have another sandwich.

some time passes and i am sitting in a room with 10 other people when a guy walks in and says "everyone come with me, except brandon and dustin..." now i am kinda pissed, they are not going to let me do the focus group. i was really excited about the $100 i mean focus group. the guy turns to the 2 people left in the room and makes up some story about them overbooking expecting people not to show up, blah, blah... but then he is like "here is your check". cha-ching! $100 clams for just showing up to eat a sandwich. this place kicks ass.

i find it hard to believe that they overbook a focus group, but what do i care, i did not have a NexTel anyway, and the other guy was a 50 year old black man in a suit. not passing judgement or anything, but he was obviously in the wrong place.

there is no moral to this story.

NASCAR

by the title i am sure half of you have already stopped reading. your loss. if they were a NASCAR fan they may have had a chance to earn $100!

a couple months ago i was privy to some information that lead me to a beer taste test. they paid me $75 to sit for an hour, fill out some papers, and drink beer! this is ok by me. they call them "focus groups" and they are put on by House Market Research. basically all you do is sit around and BS about different subjects, they collect the data and give it to the giant corp. that contracted them. they have a variety of diferent topics through out the year.

anyway, they called me the other day and asked if i had a cell phone... yes... do i like NASCAR... yes... do i want $100... yes... you get the hint. so tonight i am attending my first NASCAR focus group up here in rockville MD. i will have to let you guys know how it turns out, should be interesting.

sheltering the clueless

seems as if the ever popular discwiz.net has become a harbor for clueless souls. it was apparent last week with the addition of me to the mix, but now...

are you ready folks, we get the literary styling of the one and only jz.

i am sure we will be blessed with all of the wit and sarcasm that we have come to expect from this young lass. you may have seen her in such events like ppc happy hour and ppc happy hour 2. whatever the stories, i am sure we will continue to enjoy more exciting tales from the "halfway house of the net", discwiz.net.

apple + feds = savings

so if nothing else comes from being a contractor for the federal goverment, you can at least get some discounts. that is right folks, employees and contracters of the federal gov't can get 10% off all hardware from mac. pretty sure there is a discount for software online, but i am not sure what exactly.

oh, this includes the iPod! this is my newest obsession. i am going to buy an iPod or iPod mini. not sure which as of yet. it was all because of tucker's blog.

G'Town woes

as some of you know i have been stuck in germantown MD. for about 3 weeks now. locked in a secure facility. no phone. no computer. no hot chicks (reverse that order for importance). about twice a day i barter and beg for some computer time to check email, bank accounts, apple trailers, and of course the blogs!
only one person will let me use his puter, which is nice, but the guy is a bit paranoid. no cookies. not that big of a deal, but i cannot check hotmail, buy stuff, or add a blog entry.

it is the little things that drive me nuts! 2 more weeks...

why i cannot have nice things

so friday jessi was gracious enough to host my blog. she got me set up with a password, blah, blah, blah... all excited i began typing my first entry.

somewhat of a success. i was able to post my first message. however it was at the wrong url so i tried my administrative skills. long story short, i wiped out jessi's blog. woops!

she got it back, and got me up and running.
check back soon!

Get it straight

Well, here i am. Blogging. Welcome to the 2000's Mr. Ryan!!!
First off, lets make sure that no one is expecting something more than i am offering.
1. i cannot spell. never could. never will. deal.
2. grammer is something that comes in cracker form. i do not want 100 comments telling me how i should use "there" instead of "their". don't even get me started on "they're".
3. as you will soon find out i have nothing interesting to talk about. i mean i may think it is hi-larious, but chances are you may not.
4. i will continue to use JT's virtually uncrackable form of name masking (eg JT, JT, JZ, Dwayne Hoover, CW, MB, etc.). i just think it is funny.

lost my train of thought...
