Hot and Naked

I am sitting on my couch naked and very hot. My a/c went out last night around 1 a.m. and I am waiting on the repair man to come over and get it back up and running. Its 92 degrees right now and I am HOT!

I have a headache, I am hungry, and I am sweaty. I won't be able to take this much longer so they better get here soon or I may pass out.

Family Guy

B and I were watching Family Guy last night.

Me: Brian (the dog) is fat.
B: He is a dog.
Me: He is still fat.



He is still my favorite character though because he drinks.

Good News!

I went to the AT&T store and they were able to extract my contacts from my old phone to my new phone.

Everything is good with the world again. We now returned to your normally scheduled program.

Random

I know I said I was going to post more often but I really don't have anything to talk about. Sad but true.

B is going to be out of town for most of the month of June so I will be single but not in the lets go out and get drunk, naked, and sleep with anyone you want single. Just the I am lonely single.

I got a new phone yesterday. I don't have any one's numbers in the new phone though. I have to go get the numbers transferred at the wireless store.

That's about it.

What's going on with you?

Weekend Update

I haven’t posted in a few days…blame the weekend…the alcohol…or the pool parties. So here is a quick update of the weekend:

On Friday B and I took a friend to dinner and to the movies. We watched Indiana Jones; I haven’t seen any of the other ones so I thought it was good. The people I was with said the first one was better but I don’t have anything to judge it against.

On Saturday we went to a birthday party at a friend’s house and we played in the pool. We also tried the Wii Fit and Guitar Hero. Playing guitar and drums is hard, I totally sucked at it but I would try it again. The Wii fit is not as exciting as I thought it would be but it’s still fun. Saturday night we went out to the bars with some friends and the bars were dead. I would have figured the bars would be busy since it was a holiday day weekend. I was wrong.

On Sunday we went to a bbq at a friend’s house and then we all headed out to the bars. And guess what? They were dead again. What is wrong with people these days? It’s a holiday weekend, go out and enjoy it.

On Monday, we slept in late since we were running on very few hours of sleep and then we went to Lowes to pick up some stuff we needed. Later in the day we went to a neighbor’s house for a bbq and to the neighborhood pool were we played water volleyball against a couple of cute guys and a few bitchy girls.

That’s it. As much time as I spent in the water you would think I would have had a tan by now but no luck. I am thinking of joining a tanning service.

Ball Sweat

Scene: Bar with lots of gay men, cigarette smoke and dance music playing in the background.

Guy 1: Do i smell good? (puts wrist to guy 2's nose)
Guy 2: What is that? (As he wrinkles his nose and gives guy 1 a look of disgust)
Guy 1: Ball sweat! (As he walks away)

Bad Boys

Guy 1: How are things with Mark going?
Guy 2: I am not sure. He texted and I replied but I never heard back from him. I called and left him a message but he never called back.
Guy 1: It's probably for the best. He looks like a sleaze ball.
Guy 2: I don't know why I am attracted to him. I just can't help it.
Guy 1: It's probably the bad boy in him.
(Long Pause)
Guy 2: Is it possible for an interior designer to be a bad boy?

A sign of the times

We went to a little gathering last night and out of 7 people, 3 had been recently been laid-off, 1 had recently started a new job after being laid-off, 2 were looking for jobs because of uncertainties with their job, and the other still had a stable job.

What is wrong with that picture?

I started working out with B yesterday. He is trying out my gym for a week so that we can work out together and it's the best workout I have done in a long time. He pushed me and made me do a lot heavier weights that I would have done on my own. As a result, I am sore but it feels good. We are going to continue working out all week and when it's time to change the workout I will go to his gym for a week.

It's nice to have someone to talk to while we work out but the workout took twice as long as normal. I don't like that. I like to get in and get out. I am not one who goes to the gym to socialize, if you want to talk to me give me a call or send me an email. When I go tot he gym I wear my ipod and ignore everyone around me. I am sure people thing I am rude...but I don't enjoy being there so I just want to get it over with. It's like torture...but hopefully you get good results.

We are doing a whole body workout but I want to concentrate on my arms and chest. I want to have a nice chest so that I can wear v-neck shirts. Don't judge me...you know you are vain too!

I should do the before and after pictures to get the full effect of the changes.

Home is where the Mom is!

My mom is in town for a month long visit. She is staying with all of us for at least a few days so it will be nice to spend time with her.

B and I picked her up from the airport on Saturday and we spent the rest of the day visiting family and eating...and eating...and eating. It was fun.

Yesterday, I decided to go visit mom after work so I took off for the hour long drive to my brothers house where they were cooking chile con carne and hand made flour tortillas. Chile con carne is like the American chili stew but 1,000 times better. It has a much better flavor and you can eat it with hand made tortillas...nothing is better than that.

When i got there my mom was the only one there so I helped her make tortillas until everyone else got there and I was kicked out of the kitchen and laughed at my tortillas because they were not round. They were basically every shape but round. OH well, they tasted good.

After all the eating I made the trip back home where I immediately went to sleep. I woke up this morning and I am still stuffed.

What reminds you of home?

YOU ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING!

Meetings at my hell hole are horrible. Everyone talks over each other and everyone wants to be the alpha male/female so they have to get their point across no matter what.

I just got out of a meeting that should have taken 30 minutes at the most but instead took almost an hour and a half. Everyone talks all over each other so you can't hear anything anyone says. If someone is speaking someone else chimes in with something completely unrelated so nothing ever gets accomplished. After something has been decided someone wants to make changes.

After a while I had to say "THE FORMAT HAS BEEN DECIDED, MOVE ON" and "YOU ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING!" and yes I did raise my voice. You have to raise your voice if you want to be heard.

I hate meetings.

Tell me about your meetings. Are they better than mine? Do people pay attention?

5K

I ran another 5K yesterday. I ran my first 5K in March as part of my
running class. After my first 5K I said I wanted to improve my time to run an 8 minute mile and I did it but I didn't meat the goal I had set up for myself. I wanted to run the whole thing in 25 minutes and I ended up running it in 25 minutes and 18 seconds. Had I pushed myself a little harder I could have done it in under 25 minutes.

My goal for next time is to run it in under 23 minutes.


I am not sure if I have mentioned this or not but I am training for a half-marathon. My first one is going to be in November and the second one is going to be in December.

I will definitely need cheerleaders for that one!

California Gay Marriage Ban Overturned

The California Supreme Court overturned the ban on gay marriage and there is already a petition out there to amend the state Constitution to ban gay marriage.

How do you feel about it? How would you vote if this was up for a vote in your state or country?

Guilty as Charged!

Once upon a time. No, I mean. I once dated a guy who was a writer. I wrote about it here, here, and here and probably in many other places.

I admit it. I wasn't the nicest guy. When we broke up I probably handled it wrong and I a still being reminded.

We spoke today for the first time in along time. The conversation went like this:

Writer Guy: Oh, you'll be pleased to know the men here are worth writing about.
Me: That's great. That should give you plenty of writing material.
Writer Guy: I am writing about my trial and errors with lovers and I am calling it "Traded". You should start thinking about who will play you in the film.


I probably deserve those jabs. I can be an ass at times.

Tell me about your worst break up? Where you the bad guy/girl?

Baby Mama

We saw the movie Baby Mama this weekend. It’s not the type of movie I would normally watch but a friend wanted to see it and he had been asking for a few weeks for us to go with him and his partner. We bought our tickets on line and invited a few other people and when it came down to it, the friend who really wanted to go see it never showed up. Apparently he overslept or something.

The movie was hilarious. It’s all predictable but you still have a good time laughing at their silly antics. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are both amazingly good. It also has a lot of good actors like Sigourney Weaver and Steve Martin. Normally, I don’t enjoy movies with Steve Martin because he seems to be a bit to over-the-top but it was a much toned down version of his normal acting.

Anyway, the story line is this: Successful unmarried woman (Tina Fey) puts her career before family, now she wants to have a baby. Woman tries adoption and to get pregnant but she cant so she turns to an agency that finds surrogate mothers (owned by Sigourney Weaver) and she is matched with Amy Poehler’s character. The surrogate lies about being pregnant so she can continue getting checks, she breaks up with her boyfriend and movies in with her…funny scenes follow. I won’t ruin the end just in case you want to watch it.

Sit Bitch! Sit!

We just got back from dog training classes. We figured it would be good for Lucy to get some basic training. After trying to do the most basic of commands she refused to do it and as a result got labeled as stubborn.

She refused to sit. Sit. The most basic things all dogs should know how to do.

Oh, and she also stole the treats from the instructor. That little thieve.

I am going to practise the command sit with her. Maybe she will be able to master it by next time we go for training.

Sit Bitch! Sit!

Tell me about yourself.

If you haven't noticed, I have been blogging a lot more lately. I think I am back...full time.

So I want to know about you, all 3 of my readers. Who is reading the blog? How did you find my blog? Do you have a blog? If so, what's your blog address?

Just wondering who is out there. Come on. Don't be shy.

Things from the Past

I am taking a box home from work today. I plan on sitting down in front of my cd rack and packing up my cd's. Two reasons really, one, I don't have room for them and two, I haven't used a cd in many, many years.

I am debating if I am just going to store them or if I am going to sell them at one of those second hand cd stores.

Is there anything we use right now that you think might become obsolete in the future?

Overheard at a Thai Restaurant

I went to lunch with my co-workers on Friday to a Thai restaurant.

There were two ladies sitting at the table next to us:

Lady 1: Do you want some spring rolls?
Lady 2: Are those the crunchy ones?
Lady 1: No, those are the ones with the rice paper.
Lady 2: No, I don't like those. They remind me of condoms.

How dare you interupt my training!

I conduct a training course for two of my co-workers every other Tuesday. It's a welcome to our business 101 and I do it out of the kindness of my heart (cough).

Right as we are getting ready to start one of them dials in and says "C, I am not going to be able to make it today. I am about to leave work and go to the hospital."

And me, being the senstive guy that I am said "Can't you tough it out? It's only for an hour."

Nobody thought it was funny.

Dilemma!

A good friend went out on Sunday night and met a guy. The guy is a guy I somewhat know from a previous encounter. Back when I was single I met him out and we were flirting etc. And his friend came over and asked about his boyfriend. In other words, he is a cheating, lying, ho bag.

Should I tell my friend?

Honestly, I don’t really know that much about this guy besides that.
