Not another starfish episode...

Well, things are finally starting to calm down. L and I are all moved into my aunt's house, we just had a killer vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado...and we just came home to a house full of shit...literally.

Apparently my dog is a little sick and got a little sick while we were away. Not only did she drop bombs all over my aunt's house, but apparently when my sister was watching her, she tore up their apartment too. I'm telling you, my dog is vengeful. If you haven't heard my Starfish Story, it's a doozy! On valentine's day 2005, I came home to a sick dog who had apparently eaten an old, dried up starfish. I thought I had smelled the worst Beau could offer...until today.

So what do you do to clean up runny dog crap??? Good question, I'm open for suggestions (hopefully none of you have ever had the experience, but if you have, you gotta share.)

We ended up renting a carpet steam cleaner and running that over the 3 piles of dooky, and that seemed to work alright.

Anyway, the trip was awesome, the boarding was sweet, the snow was bitchin', and I went snowmobiling for the first time and that was incredible! I highly recommend doing that sometime in your lifetime, if you haven't done so already.

Things that make you go hmm

The totally hot chick with the dorky, computer nerd...a couple college guys winning $10,000 from a drinking game, turned bar game called beer pong...The XXL sized, sleaveless T-shirts on the rack at Old Navy, daaaaaaamn sister...95% of what John Madden says during a football game...and the list goes on and on.

Big ups to C & C Music Factory for putting it down, and making a song about it. You all know what I'm talking about, bob your head now. Damn, now I'm gonna be singing that song for the rest of the day...sorry guys.

I'm stoked to go snowboarding this upcoming week. We're staying in a condo in Breckenridge, right off the slopes. I heard the conditions were awesome and the snow was bitchin'! Don't worry, I'll be thinking about all of you guys sitting in your cubicles, living the Office Space dream. Much love...Much needed!

Food for thought - Next time you see something you disagree with, open your mouth and say something. Be nice about it, but don't let people walk all over you. That's no way to live!

Where were you...

Today I got the call that no person wants to get. That is the call saying one of your best friends has died. BB was a great man, friend, son, and fiance. I first met BB at TruGreen Chemlawn in Lenexa, Kansas. Fresh out of college, I was your typical, cocky, 22 year-old looking to take on the world and kick ass at my first job. I sat next to this lil' 5'5, chubby kid named Brian. He was a little older than me, but we hit it off from the beginning. Instantly a friendship was born..and now still lives through me. We call him B.B.

RIP B.B. (Brian Boyd)

BB - I was totally honored when you asked me to be in your wedding this fall. I was really looking forward to seeing you again. It's been a while. I'm going to miss the "Tiger Nights", playing Tiger Woods on Playstation2, drinking 40 oz. Mickeys until 3 in the morning, 2, 3, sometimes 4 times a week. I'm going to miss the days we used to holler "WEST SIDE" whenever we made a sale, because we sat on the west side of the sales room...just me and you man. I'm especially going to miss the trash talking we used to do when my Broncos played your Chiefs. Man, you were too young to go, and I'm gonna miss you bro. Until next time, I'll pour out some Mickeys for ya, put in a fat chew of "the Bear", and look forward to the day I get to see you again and B.S. about how lucky the Broncos/Chiefs got in the game on Sunday. I love you man, Rest In Peace!

I'll leave you all with this...Next time you talk to your friends/family members on the phone, don't forget to tell them how much you love and miss them, because you never know when you might not get to say goodbye.

What a week...Beer me!

Let's just say, I'm glad it's Saturday..The Broncos are playing in an hour...there are football games on TV Saturday AND Sunday...and I don't have to move anymore!!!!

For those of you who don't know, I've been moving my girlfriend out of her apartment all week. First of all she had been living there with her son for about 2 years. Do you know how much stuff collects in an apartment after 2 years? Holy shit! Second of all, she was living on the 3rd floor. I sware I'm never going up any stairs the rest of the weekend...Fuck that! My ass should be lookin' good though. Third of all, was it ever a long week at work, capped off by an even longer Friday. After packing a 10ft x 5 ft storage closet to the brim this week, seriously to the brim, I'm spent! I'm afraid when I go back there next, all the stuff in there is going to fall out when I open the door.

At least now I can relax, things are in order and will hopefully be back to normal soon. I would like to quote the great Homer Simpson, "Ummmm, beer!" I don't want to scare all of you off, but I'm chillin' like Homer this weekend. (see picture)

I also want to apologize to my friends who were around me this week. I was a crabby sum'bitch! I really didn't mean anything by it, I was just incredibly stressed out this week. Thanks for putting up with me and my shit, I'll be back to normal in the near future.

Lucky Number 7

7 Months that is...

Well, today was Monday...but not just any Monday. It was L and I's 7 month anniversary. Now, neither of us are ones to celebrate this, or even remember it, but today was especially special. We found out that L will be able to get our of her apartment lease, and we're going to be able to get a place of our own together!

I guess I should be freaked out right? Well, truthfully nothing has ever felt so 'right' before, in my entire life. I love her, we practically live together anyway, and we're going to be able to save some serious kiz-ash!

I called my mom to tell her the good news, and I was a little surprised about how unenthused she sounded. Maybe she's just busy with remodeling her current house, or maybe she's freaked out because she's loosing her "baby boy" to another woman. Who knows? I would have felt even better if she would have been more excited about it.

Bottom line is L and I are extremely happy to start this new chapter in our life...and it couldn't have come on a better day. I guess it was meant to be. So...here we go, there's no turning back now.

New Year's Resolution

Alright, everybody makes new year's resolutions, right? I wonder who started this foolish tradition...was it Bally's, 24-Hour Fitness, or some other gym owner? Those guys make out like bandits this time of year. Have you ever been to the gym on January 2nd? Holy cow, talk about a gathering of out-of-shape people trying their ass off, literally, to accomplish the goal of loosing weight, getting in shape, or whatever. Have you ever been to that same gym on February 2nd? Now, I'm not trying to hate on those people, but come on...if you're going to get in shape, it's going to take you longer than 4 weeks at a gym. Why don't you just make your new year's resolution to go to the gym for 1 month. Start off slow. At least you could get some satisfaction of actually accomplishing your new year's resolution, right?

My other favorite new year's resolution is the one to quit smoking. Good for you, but can you actually do it this time. Over 60% of people that try to quite smoking, fail. I'm not a betting man but I don't think I'd take those odds. I have a suggestion for you people, just do what I did. Substitute smoking with another addiction or another form of tobacco. It's a lot easier to quit when you have something else to fall back on, and I bet over 90% of people who follow in my footsteps, would be able to quit smoking just like me.

Now, if you're struggling with picking a resolution, already have one and have broken it, already planning for 2007, or if you're just interested in the most popular new year resolutions, check this out. Good luck to all of you trying the intricate feat of sticking to your new year's resolutions, I'll be stumbling my way through '06 right by your side.

Half Baked

Well...It's January 6th already.

The only thing I don't like about the Holidays is the let down when they're over. After all that runnin' and gunnin', balls to the walls, craziness is over, what are you left with? Some ham or turkey that stinks up the fridge? No! you're left feelin' like a beached whale, unable to move. An article on Witi.com gives 11 useful tips on allowing yourself to get enough sleep, so you don't suffer the empowering feeling of trying to do your job, while you're exhausted.

In closing I would like to dedicate a quote to a few people I work with..."Fuck you...Fuck you...Fuck you...You're cool...Fuck you, I'm out!"

University of Sissy Crybabies

USC-The University of Sissy Crybabies...Hahaha, what a joke.

Hey Leinhart, show some class. Don't go on national television and talk about how you're the better team, but you lost! You sure didn't have anything to do with the loss either, did you? How many turnovers did you have? Not to mention the great clock maintenance you and your coach exhibited in the 4th quarter. If this is the way they teach 'em at SC, I'm glad they had a 37 game winning streak, cause I would get hella' tired of listening to excuses every time they lost a game. They should take the heisman back, after that piss-poor interview. That's the only way I will respect you as a player again.

Picture should say, "Duhh...let's run the picket fence. Don't get caught watching the paint dry Matt."

What a great game though, for those of you who missed it, you're fault. Once again, Vince Young leading the longhorns down the field with 2 minutes to play. Remember the game against Ohio State? Same outcome anyway, except this time Vince ran it in. Seeing the look in his eyes right before the 4th down play call was amazing. It looked like he knew exactly what was going to happen, and how he was going to do it. Props to Texas, I hate the state, but the 'horns deserve some props.

Hey USC - 2nd place is the first loser!
Hey Matt - Hold my beer while I kiss your girlfriend.
