Ice Cold

i am pretty sure i was longer than 2.7 seconds, but not much longer.

went to the Toby Keith concert on Sat. and had a great time, that of which i remember. woke up on Sunday with pain in 3 areas. head, wrist, inner thigh. now i could tell you what brought on the pounding head, shotgunning beer. seriously, who does that anymore? it was 95' last time i did that, but i digress.

the other two injuries took some investigation. usually if my wrist and inner thigh hurt, then something funky went down the night before. usually a bottle of loation and a midget were involved. but i saw no midget. then it hit me! damn bull rides!

they had a mechanical bull at the concert. brilliant idea! we were all pretty tosted except for my buddy jon, who was the only one who did not ride (which looking back seems to have been the wiser decision). either way it was fun, i did go flying off, i did look like a bitch, but it was fun and i did not look more bitch-like than any of the other guys.

all in all good story, but i have a bruise on my thigh that looks like florida after Ivan.

bubba hyde is a term in a song that explained "barney jeckel's" transformation into "bubba hyde" when the redneck comes out in him. you get the reference to jeckel/hyde right? man i have some dumb readers.

transformation process has started.

the jeans are getting tighter in the ankles, dress shoes are looking more like camo boots, the skoal ring is becoming more apparent in the back pocket of the dress slacks, and my cologne smells similar to buck urine. i have started washing some of my clothes in a dirt smelling detergent as apposed to mountain fresh tide. somehow happy hour is shooting my bow from 6-7pm, little bits of camouflage scatter my house, and country music seems to be on all the time.

ah fall...

i am in the process of upgrading "Cold As Ice". i did not realize that this was going to take the majority of the day. and probably tomorrow too. that being said i ask two things of you all:

1. be patient
2. if you are a photoshop head see what you can do with "Cold As Ice". looking for a cool (no pun intended) graphic as the head. leave a comment if you come up with anything and i'll take a look.

i played in the Elliot in the Morning charity golf tournament on Thursday. the proceeds went to missing childrens fund which is nice.

just alittle background, marcus woke up naked in his roomates bed the morning of the tournament. his roomate is a guy. he was in the bed. just thought you all should know that.

we finished an even par, which sounds good but really is not. i think the winner was about 17 under. on the bright side we got pretty snookerd. free beer, subway catered. we broke one cart, dropped golf bags 7 times, screached tires about 30 times, hit on 1 beer girl (not me of course), and missed the ball completely 1 time (that was me of course).

did i mention that marcus woke up naked with his roomate?

i have been listening to streaming radio for the past couple of days. BP blocks shoutcast and other streaming radio, but this comes through nicely. this morning i went on a quest for the morning shows across the land. started in Chicago, went to Dallas, over to SanDiego, finally to Pearl City, HI. kind of following the time changes.

well here comes the conspiracy theory.

the EDGE out of Texas has a morning show called the "morning edge". they were reading an email that was sent to them about some lady in TX who wants to open a message parlor in her house in Dallas. people call in and talk about it blah blah blah.

STAR 101.9 out of Hawaii has a "bizzarro morning show", starts at noon here. they were reading an email that was sent to them about some lady in HI who wants to open a message parlor in her house in Maui. people call in and talk about it blah blah blah.

sound familliar? oh yeah they are both Clear Channel stations! it was the exactly the same as the TX one. then i really started looking into this. websites the same, girl and guy DJ, wacky friends, dumb fat guy that does all the stupid stunts and promotion around town. they all have this! did anyone hear about a lady who wants to open a message parlor in DC this morning on Elliot?

canned morning shows, new low. i mean seriously, they are pretending. there was no message parlor. it pisses me off...

i had a super redneck weekend and loved every bit of it. scouted for the up coming bow season, cut wood, partied with Wtown folks, got to drive the OLD chevy and park the Hoe. it is good to get away from all this crap up here every now and again. you tend to forget who you used to be and what you used to do. i think it is a good checkpoint on the road of life to go home everynow again.

... i can feel it.

got engaged over the labor day weekend! i am sure most of you know, but for the ones that i have not seen, i got engaged. oh wait, you probably figured that out.

oh and she said yes (although i would not be engaged if she said no). bonus!

so that is pretty big. i am also looking for a house at the same time as helping plan some wedding things. yeah it has already started. and to add oil to ice, i have decided that i am leaving my new job. pops what was your bet for duration? not sure when, or where i am going, but that is stuck in the back of my head as well. i guess i need to wait until one of the two life altering things is over due to monitary constraints, but it will happen.

thats it, not too exciting of a post.

this is pretty gross

so i was walking to the office this morning from my 2 hr ghetto street parking 4 blocks away, when i decided to take a short cut. through an ally. sound like a bad after school special yet? the ally was between a auto body repair shop and a club of somewhat seedy nature (across the street from Wet if that helps anyone). either way there was a big pile of human shit beside the clubs side door. not only that but vomit and some food products and some liquer bottles. i am sure if i looked hard enough i would find DNA of other origins as well.

moral: don't walk in allys

things have been unusually quiet on the tard front. i honestly have nothing to post. is it the winter months approaching, the double dose of ritalin kicking in, or did the strategic egging force them inside? either way, it is quite depressing. we have not had a public fight, police car, or fire truck in weeks. i am worried. not for them, but for this blog post. i should have started it earlier when there was a lot going on. my bad guys.

i fear they have locked themselves in the house with aluminum foil hats and suits made from their parents eating tater-tots.

if i start to smell anything i am calling the cops.
