Well if you are at all amused by R. Kelly
Visit this blog: Scotty "I would do him" Crowe
Read the May 17, 2007 entry for an interesting take on I'm a flirt. I would have linked directly but you know it doesn't have that feature.
Update: I really have language handicaps. Why do I always confuse amuse with assume. I fixed it though.

John Mayer
You all know that I think John Mayer is funny and that's why I like in so very much. Well After reading his last blog entry I think he maybe crazy. Oddly enough this peaks my interest a little more. I am a little crazy but that's beside the point. Although I don't think there was a point just that I wanted to write about John Mayer.
I also try to stay away John Mayer's love life/relationships because I'm just not interested in that area of his life. But someone (and she knows who she is) asked me if I had heard anything about whether he had moved on to banging groupies since he was done banging Jessica. I don't know if this is true and I may have to searc the gossip blogs for some maybe true info. I just thought it was funny and that maybe I should email him to find out. My readers want to know.

I don't know
I don't know what to do. Is there going to be addition weather? If so what kind and why. I know its windy but I have an important trip to Walgreens tonight and I don't want to run into any trouble, weather or otherwise.
I have looked at radars and many forecasts. I can't read them because I am not a meteorologist.

Would you watch this series?
I just ran across a link to a site that generates TV series pitch ideas.
Check it out you might find an idea to write a pilot about.

Dreams
So last night I have a bizzaro land dream. The details I am not ready to share yet because I haven't quite possible. What I can tell you is that there was a fictional radio personality (I have never seen the guy in my dream before). He was also sick, I don't know what type of sickness though.
Still processing. I should stop turning on my radio and falling back to sleep.

Let's talk Irony
Well I left my house 45 minutes ago to go to Walgreens 3 1/2 blocks from my house. As I am walking I see all the debris from the big moves that happened on the East Side. I am thinking to myself how I am definitely not a heavy lifter. I hate moving because you have to pack your stuff and carry it twice. Anyway I look up and see a figure that is static on the corner (2 blocks from my apt.). I wanted to avert the situation but I am also lazy and was like I'll pass it. As I get closer I see it is a guy in a wheelchair. This reminded me of the weird guy (in a wheelchair) that lurked around UWM riding the elevators that once you were in the elevator with him would ask women to zip up his pants. Anyway. I get to the corner and this guy starts talking to me and I don't understand him. He says he needs help. I think "SHIT". Too get to the point his power wheelchair has lost most of his power and asked me would I push him to the group home. It is about to rain and this guy is jumping at the sound of thunder. I say ok. Although half way down the block I regret saying yes. He has to use the little power he has in the chair to assist me pushing him. We get to the end of the block I am sure I am having an asthma attack. I keep on trekking. It starts to rain. Sprinkling at first not good. I finally get him to the group home which is across the street from my place. NOW I have to go back to Walgreens. I need a nap.

Some people just get lucky
Sing for Clooney, get a record deal.
Lady sings for Clooney
You know there are a couple of performances I could think of doing for Clooney. I wonder what kind of deal I could get.

Would you like to be a CSI?
The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry had a exhibit dedicated to the show. It just opened and it has three crime scenes, labs and an autopsy room.
I think it sounds pretty cool. I would like to check it out. I like the show and think I can solve crimes.
The Chicago Sun-Times talks to the cast about their thoughts on the exhibit.
Here is a link to the exhibit.

Saying whatyou want and mean
Well I again ventured onto John Mayer's blog to read the posts that I haven't read. He doesn't post as often so I don't read as often. Anyway. I was reading a post about free speech and interestingly enough compared it to blackjack (the people not the act).
It made me think...
I have made the statement before that I think people should say whatever they want but hey should know what they say has consequences. Good or Bad.
I know that at some point in life people think they are important enough to say things and people will think they are being smart. Here's my thought you are always important enough to have what you say deemed as smart as long as you act smart (not in dramatization but as in your actions).
If you say what you mean in the sincerest way possible and do your very best to not offend (the again someone will always be pissed) and more importantly not to impress. What you say will hold more gravity with your world. Meaning the people who listen to you or come across the thoughts that your brain can't keep to itself.
What it comes down to is that when you can't help being yourself: thought-provoking, impelling, an activist for the causes that mean the most to you, and passionate, you make an impact on someone or some cause that really needs it.
Don't talk important be you, that's important enough.

Something I know
I don't want my fish to have eyes. Which in turn equals no head. I am looking at a blog about someone's adventures with food.
I do really wish I had an awesome kitchen and unlimited money I would cook all day.

Those Damn Furries
Well a friend sent a link to me today. It is a link to a Furry community in Second Life. Weirds me out.
Here are some links so you are just as disturbed as I was.

Fake Band Bio Generator
Here are two of my fake bands.
A history of pop icons: Sweet Thang
Emerging from the basements of Boise, Sweet Thang soared to the top of the pop scene in 1980 with their debut album, Taking Candy from Strangers. The band's latest album, Big White Van, blends Sugar Bam Bam's syrupy arrangements with poppy synths to construct an album teeming with uber-memorable tunes. With standout tracks like "Nothing Nice," look for Sweet Thang to be a major part in the pop landscape for years to come.

A history of indie rock icons: Cradle Robbers
Since forming in their parent's garage in Albuquerque, Cradle Robbers found themselves at the top of the the indie rock scene in 2003 with their debut album, Lullaby Love. The band's latest album, Cradle to the Grave, blends Sandi Robster's unwieldy hooks with throwback instrumentals to assemble a bevy of chart-topping rave-ups. With standout tracks like "The Tree Top," don't be surprised if you find Cradle Robbers at the top of the indie rock charts and beyond.

With standout tracks like "The Tree Top," dominating radio airwaves far and wide, Cradle Robbers is an essential addition to any music lover's library.

Last Night Heroes Season Finale
Disappointing.
Well where do I start. There was so much build up to a lackluster finish. I expected more. I know it can be expensive to have a high visual effects show but come on. There was more excitement in the show where they didn't save the world.
I did like the fact the Jessica finally showed that she had a inkling of feelings about another human being. When she told Niki that wasn't her and to find Micah. It was all very dramatic and I liked the fact that she put Candice down. I think and hope that Jessica is gone for good. I think all of this may have put a little confidence in Niki and she doesn't need that to cope.
Now someone died. Was it Nathan, Matt, or DL. I really don't want Nathan to die but I don't think it is looking to good for him. Although I think that we could get along without Matt he may be worth keeping around. I also think DL is going to stick around due to the premise for next season.
The Hiro/Ando dynamic situation was great last night. I am super excited that Ando didn't die and Hiro "man"ed up and stabbed Sylar. That is definitely not the end to Sylar. I do feel that Hiro spent too much time saving Ando. Really taking away from his mission. I think bad ass Hiro is on the way.
Sylar is pure evil and nothing anyone can say will change my mind. Yes some of the characters have moments when they operate in a very gray area but not him.
Claire will probably continue to team up with Peter to do whatever because I think a family tie is what keeps him together.
I think we all know that Peter has a hard time when he is around too many powers. He has become very quick at absorbing them but he has his issues. I think the loss of Nathan will allow him to man up. Last night Peter freaked out and I think a little bit of something that will mellow him out will be good for the world in general. I also want to know what powers he absorbed from Sylar. I think that he will be a bigger target than ever for Sylar since there is not work in him obtaining powers.
Well I will do some of the reading I skipped this season to get clues and find things that I missed.

I am on my way to crazyville
I am becoming obsessed with writing. I use to think the goal was to get published and have one or two hundred people buy my book. I have changed my mind a little. I just want to complete something longer that 5 pages long.
I am thinking of buying some books about plot development and structure hoping that would help.
Losing it.

Words
So I have this new Wordie thing as a widget on my blog and the recent words were "saucy", "lip", and "sass". I think they would be prefect for a lip gloss name.

Well what is the point in watching the CW network now. Top Model can't sustain my interest. I just wait until the show airs continuously on VH1. Anyway. Veronica Mars has been canceled. Sad news, I know. I have been staying home on Tuesdays to watch the show. Now it is over. Well what will we all do now.
No Veronica Mars and no Gilmore Girls. I am over the CW network.

Yesterday
The day of no posts. Well I took the day off of work and went to Linens and things to buy a few needed items for baking. I made chocolate cupcakes. Out of the box though. I am going to attempt to make red velvet cupcakes next. I am excited. See I do have domestic abilities cleaning is just not my thing.
Any yesterday was full of fun. I went to Linens n Things, watched some soap operas, baked cupcakes, watched Heroes, stayed up to late watching TV then went to bed reluctantly.

Did I watch any movies this weekend?
Well I did. I watched Music and Lyrics and Smokin' Aces.
Music and Lyrics - Well I really wanted this to be good. It was bad but it wasn't great.
Smokin' Aces - Could have been crap and I would have cared. Ryan Reynolds come on. That man is attractive. Common is not bad to look at either. I think it was good. I think I may even purchase it. I love Jeremy Pivens in it. Nothing like a crazy coked out magician who wants to be a big mobster to get you to watch a movie.
Anyway. My viewing suggestions wait until Music and Lyrics come to normal cable. Rent Smokin' Aces if you are a fan of anyone who is in the movie.

Three movies this weekend
Well I will try my best to watch three movies this weekend. Which means cutting back on the drinking so I can get up and attempt. MTV sucks me in on the weekends.
The three movies that I want to be in the mailbox Sunday evening are:
A Scanner Darkly - This movie has been at my house way too long.
Smokin' Aces - Got here on Wednesday. I am really excited to watch it because of Jeremy Pivens and Ryan Reynolds.
Music and Lyrics - Also got here on Wednesday. I don't know what I will think of this. I really want it to be funny.
We'll see what happens. I'll report back on Monday. Hopefully with SUPER AWESOME news.

Well I don't know what to say
So I guess there is no polite way of posting this article. I am not quite sure what to think but here it goes.
Oral sex can cause throat cancer
The article states that "people who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex"
Well I guess that is something to think about.

New TV Show
So ABC has done it again. Almost any show they put on after Grey's Anatomy has hoked me. Maybe its because I can't watch ER. That station doesn't come in that well and the show is dark. Visually dark, hard to watch. Anyway.
Last night was the premiere of a new show called Traveler. The premise is that three roommates just graduating from some sort of college decide to take a summer trip. They go to New York to start their road trip when one roommate Will Traveler decided to blow up an art wing of a museum. No one knows what happened to Will (they assume he is the one dead guy they found) and the other roommates are being chased by the FBI. They are now terrorists.
Anyway, I will be watching this show. Because I can't hep myself.

And I thought I wouldn't post today.
Blogger list note-worthy blog and such on the dashboard page. I saw something that said Mustache-a-Thon. Who can blame me for being curious. So I click on this link and see some of the coolest and strangest things I have seen in a long while. So there is this organization in some location in America that does writing things with kids ages 6-18.
So they are trying to raise money for this organization by having people get sponsored to grow mustaches.
When I find a cause to get behind I will have to come up with wacky ideas to raise money.

I hate when I can't find something
We all know how this works. You look and look and its in the last place you look. Duh.
Well I am looking for a website that you list what you have at home and it gives you recipes. MSN has one but I don't like it and I want the other one.

Super Cheap Picture Frames
So during my internet travels I came across this website where you can buy super cheap picture frames.
There is a catch or two but I think it might work out in your favor.
You have to buy at least 6 of the frames you want. So 6- 5x7 wood frames. Also you don't know the color of the frames.
Just think of each frame as a gift.

Slow News Day
So I am running into the issue where there is not much to report today.
The title of this post reminds me of the West Wing. There was a show called Slow News Day I believe. About a slow news day. Surprise Surprise.

New Blog
Well a few months ago I had this idea for a writing group. I got a few participants and we have kind of met. Anyway I started a new blog so that we can do some sharing and stuff.
I already posted a link so I will do it again. http://awesomewritingfun.blogspot.com/
I am not quite sure if it will be private or not we will see.

A Lovely Sunday, Part 3 (The End)
I sent a text message to Tim to tell him about all the fun I was having. Saying "you won't believe what I just did." He responded with a message that asked if was it sex with someone we knew. I answered no and that I hit a ball with a bat. Some of you know my talents when it comes to balls being thrown at me.
After dinner we went to see Spiderman 3, which I thought was good. I know it has been getting mixed reviews but I think it was pretty decent. There was some moments where I laughed at the absurdity of it all. I have my issues with Spiderman well Peter Parker. I think he is a wuss. Anyway. There was dancing that I thought was crazy. Beside the point I guess and I don't want to ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it.
So this movie theater has a Zaffiro's pizza place (we didn't go there) and a cafe with a Stone Creek Coffee where I got rainbow sherbet and Pam and Michael got rootbeer floats. Really good sherbet.
After the float/sherbet break we waited to see the comedy show. There were two comedians. The first act was a guy named Brian Green. Funny but there was whoping 15 of us there (maybe). The second act was a comedienne named Kathleen Madigan, who apparently is a judge on the last comic standing. She was really funny.
That ended the night.
Oh my mini golf score was 76 or 78 maybe Pam remembers correctly.

A lovely Sunday, Part 2
Well Michael called me to ask if I wanted to go to a comedy show with him and Pam that evening at the new Marcus Theater complex. I like going to comedy shows so I said sure. Then he says we're going to play mini golf and I like doing anything other than cleaning so I was up for that too. To my surprise they wanted to go right then.
So I took a quick shower combed my hair (which I was surprised I cared enough) got dressed and was ready to go. Just in time.
We stopped for coffee at Alterra where I got an espresso shake with a shot of caramel. Awesome.
So we went to play mini golf at some place in or near Brookfield. (As a side note something is making a noise in the office that might cause me to go loopy.) Mini golf was fun. I don't suck at mini golf but oh well who cares. This time I didn't do to bad, in my own opinion. Well Pam spotted the batting cages and decided we had to do it. Me being reluctant at first said ok but I am sure I will get hurt.
Well we went over and you get 12 balls for a dollar (of course we opted for soft slow softball, I would have cried if we were in the fast baseball slots). I didn't do to bad. The first time I hit at least half of the balls and the second time I missed maybe three. It was more fun than I expected it to be but my hand hurt a little. Not a big deal, I'd do it again. I think it is strange that I would develop any athletic ability this late in life.
After all that fun it was time to eat. I don't know how I have lived in the Milwaukee area for so long and have missed a lot of the restaurants. We went to the Texas Roadhouse because it was right there next to the mini golf place. I had a steak and ribs which were both good. I was planning on eating the left overs for breakfast but breakfast is so easy to cook so I am saving it for dinner. Its going to bet great.
Ok I need another typing break.
So while at the Texas Roadhouse where the employees uniforms caught my attention much like the uniforms at the Water Buffalo of Friday, Tim sent me an inappropriate email that said...to be continued.

A Lovely Sunday, Part 1
Well I started Sunday at 8:30am.
Played a game of sudoku - A level 5 game - which is the hardest for the web site i was on.
After that I sat down to finish watching Little Miss Sunshine. I started Saturday night after I left the bar. I only made it 30 minutes into it before I had to go to bed. Anyway I finished Sunday morning and I really liked it.
After that I decided that I should maybe clean my apartment some. Although I did do a lot of cleaning, I ran into a problem. I have an excessive amount of clothing. And by excessive I mean my entire hallway is filled with clothes now. They need a home. Which shouldn't be my apartment but we'll see if I can get myself to throw away or give away that many clothes. I always think that I will wear that again. I should learn to let go. What kind of pack rat would I be if I got rid of everything. Well the cleaning process is going to take another week or so.
Well Michael called me while I was cleaning to ask if... to be continued.

I have few Taco Bell Sauce Packets
I don't know why I am collecting them. Maybe there is some sort of Y2K thing happening where you store food in case I don't know the world explodes around you. If that does happen you will need condiments.
Well here are the sayings on the Taco Bell packets I have (don't judge):
- Ketchup? Puh-leese. (x2)
- This space for rent. Inquire within. (x2)
- At night the sporks pick on me. (x2)
- I collect straws. (x2)
- I'm taking the day off. See next packet.
- Scratch & Sniff: Gotcha!
- Will you scratch my back?
- Make a wish.
I'll have to see if Taco Bell has new ones.

Really Random
So I bought salt and pepper shakers for my desk or food drawer at work today. I'm excited because I am sick of all the little packets everywhere.
In order food related news I am making Drunken Chicken and I have everything I need except for ancho chiles and orange juice. I have orange juice but I got the lots of pulp kind. Well the orange juice isn't the problem, I'll probably go to Walgreens and buy a small bottle.
I wanted to make yellow rice to accompany the drunken chicken (oh which means I had to buy tequila- this can't be good) but I can't find achiote powder or paste. I'll do some searching when I get off of work and maybe Saturday morning. It better be a nice day.

Grey's Anatomy
This is mainly to get the opinion of all the Grey's watchers that read my blog. So as many of you know last night's episode was 2 hours and was trying to establish an audience or get a feeling for how an Addison Shepard spin-off would work.
My opinion really can't be trusted because there are very few things that I won't watch on tv. The History Channel (I automatically fall asleep) and that show on MTV where people break their bones and get hurt. I am sure there are other things that I would prefer not to watch but in a pinch I am sure I would. Anyway back to the point.
For those who watched last night's show, what did you think?
If it is on during a good time slot I'm in. I don't know what is up with Taye Diggs and ABC but oh well. So the new show is called Private Practice. It has actors that I like such as Marrin Dungey from King of Queens and Summerland, Amy Brenneeman from Judging Amy and Chris Lowell (Piz) from Varonica Mars - I hope this doesn't mean Varonica Mars is being cancelled. Well, we'll see I guess.

Hot Fuzz
Well last night I went to see Hot Fuzz. It was pretty funny. The last time I was at a theatre to see a movie was Christmas when I saw Dreamgirls. Anyway I don't want to ruin it for anyone but it was a fun time.
I recommend seeing it.

New Year's Goals
Well for new years I didn't make resolutions as no one really keeps those but goals seemed less constraining for me.
One of my goals is to cook something new at least once a month.
I thought this would be hard but my love of food has been very good to me.
Oh and these aren't necessarily new foods for me more like new recipes or me trying to cook something for the first time.
So far I have made.
Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Black Bean and Queso Enchilada (although not to difficult)
Chicken Noodle Soup (good but could have been better)
Now I am drawing a blank. Too bad I don't cook for others very often they could help me remember. If I think of more I will post them.
After some thinking and searching I have more to add.
Hot chocolate (awesome recipe)
tasty Chicken Salad
Italian sausage and turkey chili

Chapter 2
I was having a hard time trying to decide which piece of poetry I would share today. I have decided that today will be a two poem day.
This one is called Chapter 2 and was written February 9, 2001. I think I should say that sometimes I write poetry based on real life experiences and other times it is pure imagination. Anyway, here you go.
Time is passing
Life with you just isn't the same
I need a way out
I need to get away from the pain
The wind is whistling a song in my ear
As I walk down this deserted street
A song that is telling me the only way out is my feet
I went home that day and tried to pack my bags
But half way through I lost my nerve
So I unpacked my things and lay down to cry
I was hoping that one day you get tired of me and leave
But you seemed happier than ever
And my heart wouldn't let me cut our ties
This feeling churned within me for months on end
I demanded things from you that normal men wouldn't have did
My life was so unbearable I turned to gin
Because I was too weak to let failure win
Soon I realized that drinking wasn’t my thrill
And I notice that the only real life for me
Was in this pen
So I tried it again to pack my bags
This time I made it all the way to the end
Made it to the door just to open it and find you
Standing and staring as if you've been waiting for me to leave
I walked pass you out the door and you didn't dare try
To stop me I don't even think you cared
I walked out of a chapter of a life I'll call despair
I'm still not sure maybe it should be called confusion or fear

I am about to reveal something I probably shouldn't
So I woke up this morning thinking I smelled like Burger King cheeseburgers. I still can't get that out of my mind. I currently do not smell like cheeseburgers but it bothered my greatly. That's one oddity.
I also left my house thinking of Arsenic and Old Lace. For those of you who don't know it is a movie from the 40s (1944 to be exact) where a man finds out that his seemingly nice aunts are nuts and are killing their gentleman friends.
I have a feeling that the combination of these two things have brought me to a new level of crazy.
Or...
Being a meat eater and drinking Spotted Cow emits cheeseburger smells in sweat and I really want to see that movie.
It could go either way.

Untitled
This poem was written Febraury 9, 2001. I wrote a lot back then. Also never titled it. I must warn you this is one that rhymes because some times I have to.
Loud screams of dreams drowned out by devilish needs
Knowingly turning back to things with hellish seeds
Taking notice to jokers with relished greed
To find out that you are the proprietor of the hated deed
Looking death in the eye
While you try
To play spy
In the fiendish plan that isn’t sly
Not knowing when to quit
You think you’re bigger that it
Trying to show you can conquer it
When it’s only fear
Holding back the rain
That flows through your eyes as if the were panes
Trying to be the strong link in the chain
When you can’t hide the pain
Doing everything you can
To go through with this plan
Wanting to think you’re the man
But you will be the one who ran
Loud screams of dreams drowned out by devilish needs
Knowingly turning back to things with hellish seeds
Taking notice to jokers with relished greed
To find out that you are the proprietor of the hated deed
Looking death in the eye
While you try
To play spy
In the fiendish plan that isn’t sly
Not knowing when to quit
You think you’re bigger that it
Trying to show you can conquer it
When it’s only fear
Holding back the rain

Hey Everyone
So I have this very disturbing picture of a stuffed whale doing inappropriate things to a lady. Its not to graphic but I just stared at it for a while thinking what do I do. Oh course it is a spam message but man I am having a hard time. I mean I like sharing odd things but I don't know if traumatizing people is the way to go.
I will think about it more (share your thoughts) and we will see.

Out Of Control
lost desperation
hidden by the fact that you are near
thinking it is nice knowing you
because good never stays here
wanting to pinch myself
this can't be real
a man like you only comes in dreams
needing you to be an illusion
craziness is something I don't fear
holding on tight
letting go and I'd be a fool
only god knows how I've made it this far
tonight the thought of leaving you seems irrational
but tomorrows another day
you have no intentions of leaving
but my heart keeps skipping a beat
and only I know I live and breathe for you
telling you how I feel would make me seem psychotic
something is telling me I won't see you again
life's not worth living if you're not around
I need a grip on reality
But I seem to be floating away
I'm out of control, out of control thinking of you
I don't know when I wrote this but I wouldn't be surprised if it is from '99 or '00.
Update: Just checked I wrote it June 10, 2001

Super crazy writing
So I was thinking that I needed to add something to my blog. Something new. Well I got nothing. Nothing new at least. I was just looking at my web page and I have decided it needs some work. My new blog deal that's not new is my poetry. Therefore I will be posting my poetry, over time though. Just so you know, I have a rhyming issue.
Crying Babies
So I do not understand why this amuses me so much, but I absolutely love it. I am sure you will love it too.
Sumo wrestlers competing to make babies cry. Now I think you all know how much I hate hearing about kids getting hurt. The beauty is they aren't hurting the kids. I am also so disappointed that they don't elaborate this picture evidence with a full blown story but I guess I will take what I can get.

Damn that John Mayer
Well when John Mayer isn't being particularly (you wouldn't believe how long it took me to spell that) funny (on his blog, stop worrying) he is posing questions about what he thinks or feels. Now he writes that he is going to focus on environmentalism (global warming) for a while to see what happens. As a result of me reading his blog and begin to think about whether I stand for enough besides my own happiness and well-being. I am a big proponent of people seizing their own destiny and making life what they want it but like I said that is a "me" focused idea. Yes my world is a little self-centered but until someone comes along and changes my mind this is how it will be. That may seem a little contradictory but I don't have the time to fully explain what I mean.
Anyway...
I am going to do a little self-reflection to figure out if I don't balance well. You know if by thinking of myself too much I am saying "fuck the world". So I hope to report back with what I feel is important (on a grander scale) and what I am or am not doing to help the cause. I guess it is something to think about or maybe I am losing my mind.

I don't know why more people aren't watching!!!
Heroes. Its a tv show that has a corresponding online graphic novel what more could you want. Anyway, last night's episode was good although I am super disappointed that I didn't watch it while on air because they do a lot with the commercial time and I missed the previews. While I try to get over all that. I have to say I that although they didn't save the world the people got cooler (The episode was 5 years into the "didn't save the world" future).
I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I won't say much. I do encourage you to watch. I need more people to talk about it with.

What am I going to do with myself
So I had an interview yesterday and as you all know I need a job. The thing is it is to the point where I can't be selective in where I accept a job. Bringing me to the point of this post (if it has a point, it may not), why make the job you want someone to be dedicated to sound like such a drag. I know I will probably not find my dream job right away. I don't know what me dream job is but I do know the type of people I like to be around. The people in the HR department seemed like nice enough people. It was once I got out of the elevator the concern set in. It was depressing kind of. All the walls were white (no frills in this place). Well I sat down in the office with the business manager and the office was kind of creepy. There was a bookcase/shelf with absolutely nothing on it, not a book or a plant nothing.
I guess I am starting to get a better picture of what I want. I want to work with fun dynamic people that despite your job and no matter how much of a chore the work is you feel ok about going to work.

Annoyances
So my morning started unexpectedly early. Although I am having bizarro dreams this one not violent strange nonetheless. I am sure I am not ready to talk about it. Anyway, it had to be approximately 5:15 am when an alarm clock somewhere in the building went off. I will say I have been guilty of this particular wrong doing. Forgetting to turn off my alarm clock when I won't be home to turn it off. I have gotten much better at it though. The thing is I have been having trouble sleeping, I mean a bad bout of various forms of insomnia. It's been probably been over six months since I had a really good nights sleep. Well the thing (the alarm clock) had no owner this morning or the person in charge of it was being an ass. The thing is we have all programmed our selves to wake when that sound happens. Personally I have something called a gentle wake alarm clock that made matters even worse. It starts off with the faintest of beeps and get louder. I had my window open and this alarm sounded similar to the very first beeps of my alarm clock. Which always jolts me awake so I can turn it off. So I was awake and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep. The thing is every time I laid still I could her the beeping. I tried putting the pillow over my head even blankets nothing helped. I was not the only one that unhappy by this. The person that lives above me had some sort of violent reaction 15 minutes into it. When he started to scream and stomp around. That was less annoying because it stopped. I eventually turned my radio on so the beeping would go away and I could go back to sleep. As you all know you can not predict what will happen on the radio. It did not produce a quality sleeping environment. Not that I thought it would it sure was better that the beeping. I was over an hour of beeping. I started to get angry much like the man above me. I wanted to perform violent acts upon someone's head but I controlled myself. Just barely. I will never forget to turn off my alarm clock again.

Well it is super nice out which makes it hard for me to be inside all day. Well as usual I missed the bus today. So I have to walk to work. I am not complaining it was beautiful. I stopped by Roast got a iced caramel cosmo (caramel latte) which is delicious.
I haven't figured out what job gives me the liberty to roam the city yet but I am looking for it.
Anyway. I want to go out and play. Oh that job has to let me sleep in.

Applesauce
There is definitely a reason why I normally buy applesauce in the single packs. I just opened a 50oz. jar of applesauce and now fear I will eat the entire jar before the day is over. Some one should pick up the jar and save me from myself. I guess if I do eat the entire jar its only 1000 calories. It could be a worse binge I assume.

Nursery Rhyme Fun
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
So I read that this had something to do with Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Can anyone give me more insight?

TV...love/hate relationship
I am so excited that Entourage is back on tv. Time Warner still hates me. They responded to my question but not with any real fees. I am not buying anything until I know how much my monthly bill will be. I really want HBO.

Why does HBO hate me!!!
Well I don't understand why I can't get a subscription for hbo online like a pay for streaming service. Or why I can't buy episodes on iTunes. I need to watch Entourage. NOW!!!! Hope the cable company has something good to say.

Barack Obama @ the Milwaukee Theatre
Well what can I say. I am still not a hundred percent sure of my candidate but that did not stop me from going out to see Barack Obama's Milwaukee "kickoff".
The event was much different than the normal kickoffs because of the tragedy that happened at Virginia Tech but I think because of that we got a very different speech.
First of all the kickoff started off with Willie Hines (president of the common council) talking about the need to jump on the political bandwagon and stay connect and tell others about the presidential race as well as Obama.
Next his kids did a performance of God Bless America (I believe) which was a pretty cute performance they were very young. (the got a standing ovation)
Then came Mayor Barrett. He made it a point to say that normally he does not come out to support a candidate this early on but because of Obama's knowledge that it is important to bring the country together. He also tried to explain to the crowd about the message that Obama would speak of.
Well Like I said it wasn't the big (rock star) show that everyone expected but I think there were importance in what he had to say. The speech was a little under 30 minutes and was geared toward violence both physical and verbal. The physical violence that occurred during the shootings in Virginia and the verbal violence that surrounded the Don Imus nonsense. I'll save my comments about that for another post. I think that it is pretty clear what Obama is thinking about his campaign and about the nation in general that change is needed and it won't happen until it is demanded from this country.
So although Milwaukee didn't get the rah rah speech that everyone else has been getting I think that what we heard showed a different side to Obama. That he can motivate a crowd through loud music and "let's go" speeches as well as through compassionate and mellow speeches that the country needs in times like this.
As a side note to the kickoff:
I was concerned that people were surprised by the fact that the tone of the speech was changed in light of the events that happened yesterday. My initial thoughts were of course the speech was changed because yeah he is trying to motivate the people of Milwaukee to vote for him he is running to the presidency of the United States not Wisconsin. I think people should take the time to think about if tragedy struck here how they would feel if a presidential hopefully were doing lively speeches and not recognizing their pain.

Tricks and Techniques
ok the title is from an old interview form: It read: What tricks or techniques do you use to make work or school easier. It always made me giggle and many others so it had to be changed.
Anyway the purpose of this post is for me to let everyone know what my tricks and techniques are for having a proper fascination with a celebrity personality.
Technique #1: If you do lots with computers (say work with them) you should start all googling by searching your crush's name. For example before I need to find something important on the internet I do a John Mayer google search. Why? Because doing a John Mayer search make the internet better. So if you happen to like a certain baseball player a lot you should do a Grady Sizemore search.
Trick #1: If they are of the actor/actress or singer variety a nice imdb.com search could be in order. You can find some good fun facts about them.
Trick #2: More internet related things like trips to wikipedia. You can find out all types of fun info.
From these site you should gather as much information as possible so you can wow your friends with your knowledge of said object of interest.
Things like Grady Sizemore Cleveland Indians center fielder was born August 2, 1982. He went to Cascade High School in Everett, Washington where he played football, baseball and basketball.
From experience your friend will find all this information horribly interesting no matter what they say to you.
Technique #2: You should have at least one picture of the one you hold high reverence to posted in a place where others will see it. This way when people say "Why do you have a picture of (John Mayer/Grady Sizemore/fill in the blank)" you can dazzle the masses with the knowledge you obtained at the above websites.
Also you must be aware of all television appearances so you can watch the grow as a person/musician/actors/baseball player.
Well I am sure I could go on forever but I will bring this to an end. Just remember there is a point where knowing all about someone becomes stalking. Its a fine line, try not to cross it.

Well..
The only people that will appreciate this is girls and well moisturized guys. Anyway I have been thinking about cocoa butter lotion lately because as a kid I remember having it and I thought it worked. Well yesterday while at Walgreens I decide to pick up some. So I was looking around and spotted only one brand of cocoa butter lotion. Which I thought was odd and I'm still wondering about it. Well I don't look at the price or who made it, I just picked it up knowing I would buy it. When I got home I realized that I didn't check the price and looked at it $1.99 for a decent sized bottle. Anyway I am glad I made the purchase because I think it was well worth the price paid.
Moisturized hands well worth it.
Moisturized hands well worth it.

Back on my High Horse
Well recently Jimmy Kimmel stepped in a hosted the Larry King show. I watched a clip of him talking to the editor of a Gawker website. Which has some sort of celebrity sitings mapped. I think he acted like an complete ass. He was really juvenile in the way he acted while on a call with the editor which he ended abruptly because I guess he was under the impression that he had made his point.
You know here is my feeling about the whole situation. When you decide to go into show business and you put yourself out there, why wouldn't you expect people to idolize you? The thing is celebrities get all upset that people take pictures of them and follow them around to see what hey are buying but without those fans there would be no one to watch their movies or tv shows. Some of that has to be chalked up as a part of the business. I think it is stupid to throw a bitch fit because some one took a picture of you and said you were (some adjective or verb).
You know if anybody knew who I was or gave a crap about the city I lived in, people would follow me around and insinuate that I was drunk, slutting it up or maybe even hanging out with someone sluttier that I was behaving. Because you know some times I draw attention to myself because I am am just as narcissistic (maybe not - I do think very highly of myself - because I'm awesome) as every celebrity out there pretending they're not.
How about that or not have a career.
Off my high horse.

Speaking of Actors
I don't know if I mentioned this lately but I like to look at Ryan Reynolds.
Well I let the movie Smokin' Aces just pass me by. It has some of my favorite Hollywood people in it.
Ryan Reynolds of course
Jeremy Pivens (Ari Gold is awesome and so is he)
Peter Berg - I don't know why I like him but oh well
Jason Bateman - he brings the funny
I guess it is time to move this movie to the top of the Netflix queue.

The Best (or not) Actors Ever
Well I had dinner with two friends last night and we were talking about some great talents.
Paul Walker
Chris Klein
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Now there are many opinions of these three.
-Freddie Prinze has to be a robot because all human can act a little.
-I believe it was, if Chris Klein and Paul Walker attempted to act they could do it but they obviously haven't tried yet.
-Paul Walker has cue cards because it seems as if he is just reading. (Good thing for him he is fun to look at).
I think this statement from Wikipedia says something about Chris Klein:
"Klein was the focus of a Punk'd segment in which host Ashton Kutcher repeatedly mocks his performance as Jonathan Cross in the 2002 film Rollerball. Despite seeing cameramen and audio specialists in his own home, Klein remains ignorant to the set-up and ducks for cover when told to do so."
Freddie Prinze Jr. Well I don't know what to say because I don't feel all that strongly about him. He was mainly added because I wanted to hear other people's opinions of him. Plus I would like Grypp to compare these great talents and determine if Freddie Prinze is the most robotic.

Who are you to judge.
I was just reading John Mayer's blog because I hadn't checked it out in a while. You know I can't wait until July 3rd.
Back to my point I guess.
Have you ever talked to someone about music the both of you and they look at you funny or made some weird noise at your choices. Well I am making a statement right now that I know people will bitch about.
I really like this song called Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood.
This is how I will respond to all you nay sayers, "I don't like your crap music either!"
So who are we to judge. Everybody thinks their opinion is better that everyone else's, what happened to being unique little flowers.

Social Networking Sites
Well I don't suggest you do them all bu I think that everyone should have a profile somewhere. I know some might disagree but oh well.
Not obnoxious yet...
Yeah the blog isn't obnoxious yet. I was hoping for this week but I am busy this week so maybe next week.
For those who are concerned the ultra obnoxiousness well be short lived.
Maybe it won't be obnoxious who knows.

Rock Band
Rock Band is going to come out at the end of the year.
A four player game that I will probably never own because PS3 are expensive and I bet Xbox 360 is too. Well it is Guitar Hero amped up. There will be a guitar player, bass player, a drummer and a singer. Well it should be fun.
With online capabilities people from all over can play together. We'll see.
