Yesterday I went out golfing for the first time this year. Given I have zero patience and had no practice, I faired pretty well. 66% of my shots per hole are decent. I don't count putts - that's splitting hairs.
I found some old Natty G's (National Geographic) in my basement therefore fueling my cd cover art hobby. I wish I had DSL at home.
Make this Memorial Day a faded memory.

Graduation parties aren't as hot when there isn't any free booze. No one ever uses that word anymore, BOOZE. Make booze part of your day.
I woke up way too early today - 630AM. and for no good reason.

In response to Marky's comment on "not being molested by old men" yet.
Did anyone assume he was going to be molested? Does that come with the travel package? I feel Marky is trying to mend some fences. It's somewhat like sitting at dinner, the discussion built around Chinese Trade Policy and then blurting out, "I'm not gay!" That's cool, but are you bowing out to your inner-wanderlust?
Marky must have seen some bad things over there. Are you the victim, Marcus? Contact the local Embassy (Suites).

I'm giving blood today and NO, I am not playing hockey/rugby/ultimate frisbee.
Speaking of Ultimate Frisbee. That game (not sport) is pretty cool. I remember playing it in college for my Diet & Exercise class (gym class + health class - sexual reproduction). I remember this one kid was pretty cocky and it was him vs. my buddy and I. ALL THE TIME. Playing games inside on the hardwood is better than playing outside.*
* - basketball. I like playing it full court and inside. Asphalt makes my hands dirty and what's with "half-court?" Half-court basketball should be saved for only high school sitcoms, i.e. Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Saved By the Bell, etc. You know what I'm talking about - the mock high school games where the court is 15 feet long.

It hasn't been that hot these past few days. The coming of the ICE AGE?
I am going home a little early (sigh, again) today so I can get ready for my FREE movie at the new movie theatre. Oh, it doesn't open until Friday. call me VIP.

I spent last evening up on Dorothy Street. pH didn't pee on me.
My SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION training this morning was pretty great. I feel empowered and also ask myself, "why can't I get the job teaching Sexual Harassment?"
I'd blow the class away.

UPDATE: No, what's cooler than my sign is my bat. Yes, I have a bat in my office, sleeping. This is so MF cool. I've got an intern.
Holy cow, it's Friday!
This past week wasn't as cool as I had hoped for. It rained a lot and there's been a lot of crap at work. Then there was...
GREEK FESTIVAL. I plan on going to that Saturday and getting ethnic.
WHO WANTS TO GET ETHNIC WITH ME?
The Pistons won last night. FINALLY

Being scruffy myself, I went hunting for pictures of beards.
Here's what I found instead:
Here's what I found instead:
I'll take bear(d)s dancing anyday.
All this rain is making me sick, literally. Unseen pollens have activated my unknown allergies leaving me tired, husky voiced, and red-eyed. No I haven't been "rolling spinach."
Gosh, those bears are amusing.
Word has arrived from Marky of Harrow. All hail Lord Janca!
In a way, I really, deep down hope Marky will discover he is of Jugoslavic royalty and we're all invited to swim in his moat and make long-distance phone calls to Thailand.
WTF:
Me not leaving work until close to 7pm yesterday and again, this morning when someone from processing called me at 8am when I was watching Katie Couric and eating Frosted Flakes. Something's gotta give, folks.
The propaganda factory is almost working at full capacity. I am now officially in the job hunt.
Kudos:
To Ms. Nenadov of Canjon Country for the pink cowpants. I got them in the mail and immediately felt the need to put them on. Intense, Action, Fashion (IAF) photos to follow.
HighSchoolers...

My run in with a baby bull looked like this:
Last evening at my aunt & uncle's I was walking across the pasture and had a run-in with a baby bull. He looked pissed when he came trodding towards me. I used a telephone pole for leverage. It was a false alarm though, apparently he is just "curious."

How can the Detroit Pistons lose three games in a row? Looks like somebody's choking. Same goes for the Spurs. On top of all this, it is raining - on a SATURDAY.

It's MF Friday.
I am going out for MF Japanese food tonight.
My back and knee hurt. My knee is probably the ACL (football career = over), my back is probably a compound stress fracture of the middle vertebrae caused by excessive trampoline (circus career/stuntman = over)
ANA
check out: Hostelling International for safe, popular places to stay, cheap. My advice: get on-line and book your stays EARLY. They do fill up fast especially in the big cities like Paris.
Do I EVER! sound like a MOM/DAD/TRAVEL AGENT.

Not cool: I saw the video of the American be-heading. I couldn't finish watching it. I recommend you NOT go find it.
Guess I kinda blew up yesterday, huh?
Despite my melt-down, the MAGMA has cooled. My boss is cool. She's got my back.
What I needed yesterday was pizza. I am finding out that I don't have as much time as I'd like to have to do things after work. I.E. fill out resumes, read my book, etc. It's one or the other and I want BOTH.

I am sick and tired of thinking I did something correct, only to find out I did something wrong and it's now too late to fix it. Yes, I am referring to my occupation. Yes, I am having a melt-down. Yes, I am {blank}.
There is no training manual that could teach me to do my job. I learn from trial by error. I don't like it because I'm not the one getting hurt in the end, the customer is. If I knew I was doing something incorrectly, I'd fix it before it became a problem. Why must I all of a sudden have to question my ability and inteligence because I am oblivious to my errors?
As bad as my day was, I did get a pretty nifty post-it holder at my meeting today and got to look at owls, frogs, turtles, and stuff.

Current gear: 3rd and downshifting
Yesterday was 112F in my office leaving me no choice but to leave early (again, and I'm getting good at that.) It failed to rain so I went down by the river to go fishing. Didn't catch a thing but boy was it nice!
I saw a picture of the infamous Mr. Pippin, Kristin's Yorkshire and he looks pretty sweet. I hope she's training it to hunt mushrooms and sniff out illegals.
Marky leaves for Yugo-slave-ia this week and fingers are crossed that he remembers where he's from and therefore insults everyone that crosses his path.

FYI: Blogger has a new format for publishing and it feels like I am using Windows95.
It's hot already today and my exoskeleton is not prepared for the heatwave.
A good time was had by all who attended the Detroit-Get-A-Way-Weekend this past Friday and Saturday. In my opinion, I behaved well and didn't get myself into any uncomfortable situations. Detroit traffic stinks. Night driving is the best time to drive except when it rains at night.
P.S. You are back on the green side of the fence, I've re-instated your blogs.

Speaking of W's, our Andrew W.K. has his own new show on MTV which just by having WK makes it seem already cool. I hope the corporate wigs don't limit his awesomeness (MTV just limits conservative values)
Ana told me the song "Game Over" by Lil' Flip* is dumb. WRONG. I think the song is great, but you don't hear me do'.
* - The Lil' Flip I know dressed like a Leprechaun on one of his album covers = COOL.

Work Mode: survival
I conveniently (sp?) scheduled an over-due oil change today (4pm) giving reason to my cause for leaving at 3pm today.
It gets better because tomorrow I leave at 1pm.
I remember that I have forgot to view the onion today

Should I ever form a band, our first album cover would look like this...
only it'd have a cool title with it. Something like "Louder than Death", etc.

HAPPY CINCO DE MUSTACHE!
Although I did not watch a single minute of the entire series, I am jubilant that the Red Wings lost their series to the FLAMES.
Speaking of sports, I may have landed myself an interim position as a bench coach for a teen girls softball team.*
ANA - My current plan for Friday is to take a half-day off and possibly be in Detroit by 4pm.
* - Interim, for I've given myself that title - also because my Dad is the assistant coach and it is my sister's team.

Could I get one good night's rest this week? I hate it when I go to bed feeling tired, feeling like sleeping, only to toss and turn for hours.
In my on-going war with Dr. Adkins, I ate an entire loaf of garlic bread last night and felt pretty darn good about my feat.
If you subscribe to the Palomar series here's what is on the horizon:
Phantom Planet
John Lennon (plastic ono band)
Bruce Springsteen (born to run)
Van Halen ( II)
Beatles (revolver)
The Monkees (greatest hits)
MARKY
IF you read this, make note to be in Rochester, Michigan this Friday evening and plan on staying there all day Saturday

I hate it when I have to say that I have not blogged because I have been busy
So, I have taken a time-out to record some thoughts of these past few days.
Friday:
Busy, busy, busy at the office but somehow managed to find a good rationale to leave work at 3pm to go fishing with my DAD. my reasoning - my DAD wanted to go fishing.
Saturday:
Fishing again with my DAD. Our second day on the Vermilion River hunting Steelhead. Didn't catch a thing but did learn valuable lessons for next time. Next time being this upcoming Saturday. Our drive home was the worst rain I've seen in the fast few months. What was weird was that when we hit Mansfield, 5 minutes from home. It got really bright to the west and yet it was still pouring rain. HARD RAIN like that movie with Christian Slater - We only want the money.
Sunday:
Breakfast at Grandma's House. Lots of rain. Lots of down time spent around the house. Semi-depressing then saved by bacon, eggs, and waffles for dinner. I watched Wild Boyz on MTV and seeing Steve-O get peed on by an elephant a la "Golden Shower" was hilarious.
I do regret not seeing Scotty, Ivan, and all others who were in Akron over the weekend. Sometimes I spread myself too thin.
Word has Becky being in Detroit this weekend and I am going to try to visit up there at least one day.
I am working on yet another get-a-way plan for this Friday. TOP SECRET
OF NOTE:
I am officially freaked out by the bank's boss who visits here time to time and winks at me. All in all, she just gives me the creeps and I have decided I don't like her. I just don't. It's her laugh and certain way she nicely pressures me into doing things ( but not those things).
