Power of the internet.....and ramblings......

OK.....so the OTC meds helped, and the nap helped. Woulda been nice if the phone rang less often.......but ehhhhh, some things out of my control. I don't know exactly why, but I'm going to share a secret. Seems proper, seems right......perhaps its the pseudo sumphin sumphin..add a couple beers....yay... It's funny actually......I take time off work for alot of reasons, my family. It just always seems when I take a day off because "I'm" sick, it's more work than if I just sucked it up and went to work..............I digress... Someplace out there........I have a sister. A sister given away many years ago for hopes of a better life, a better future. If your out there sis......still looking for ya. I understand why......I forgave it many years ago. I met you once....years later, we worked together at a mall, thanks to a family friend......but I didn't tell you. It seemed best as you were so happy.....doing well......happy your family and on to college........ I miss you Cassandra

TMI Tuesday.......and snow up the ass!!!!!

OK.....so I admit it, I laughed out loud too many times the mild winter. I bragged once too often how much I liked it like this. I chuckled too openly 40f winters were just fine. Now my reward is here..... So I'm driving to work this morning, thoroughly enjoying the new 14 inch blanket of snow we got last night, on top of the 12 we got the night before....and I'm amazed by the beauty of it all. Watching the delicate flakes of still falling snow interact with the glow of my headlights in the pre-dawn morning......mesmerizing, hypnotic. Coffee in reach, lit cig, 4wheel drive...yeah, this is the good life. It was about that time that I noticed the road didn't seem any different than the landscape..I distinctly remember there should be trees here someplace. It was around then a thought crosses my mind. WTF am I doing out here man!!!??? I wanna live!!! Screw this, I'm heading home !!! Game over...game sooo over. I mean I'm not a wuss or anything, but the office can wait till after daylight at least!! It's still snowing, the lovely wife had a similar revelation, her attempt to drive to work tonight...:) So that was my morning, hope yours went atleast as well.....on to TMI!!:) 1. Do you think people in general are too forgiving of or too harsh on promiscuous women? Promiscuous men? In general, hard one to answer. I can tell you in all honesty I like promiscuous women in general.....alot...except if it's my wife...thats bad....but past that all good...yeah thats my stand. :) 2. Suppose you've been dating someone for a year, and they're slowly getting fat. Does this romance have long-term potential? Define....slowly fat in a year. Is she getting fat becase of the nachos and beer....or pegnancy.....hrmm. Goofs aside, depends on the strength of the relationship and it's honest expectations, to me, this is not in itself a dealbreaker. 3. If you have five VERY successful dates with someone, are you a couple? A couple of goofs who have had 5 very succesful dates...:) 4. When you have a "toe-curling" orgasm, do your does curl up, or down? Well if I had toes.....thanks so much for reminding that ill fated winter hike.... 5. Can great sex be reason enough to stay in a relationship? (What about just okay sex?) This is what "fuck buddies" are for...:) Bonus (as in optional): When you're unhappy in a relationship, do you treat the other person badly? Examples we've tried: causing jealousy, picking fights, withholding sex, getting real quiet. On a serious note, I have to admit to all of the above in the past. I think I've matured past most of it, but still a ways to go. Communication :) Happy TMI goofs and friends!! :)

Superbowl.....superbowel

I have to admit, I'm a bears fan. I'm not huge football geek, or a sports geek for that matter, but I love it when Chicago has a team doing well. I wish I could just sit back and enjoy this. For the 1st time in years, Im excited about it. Nothing will take the fun out of an event, faster than the league's managment of said event. This week, in Chicago, the stadiums planned "charity" superbowl party was cancelled by the NFL. The event was to hold about 1000 people, watching the game on the really really big screen. It was to be a "pay to get in" event...ticket sales going largley to charity, and just a fun as hell party in a safe environment, in thier teams stadium as they play against the Colts in florida. Why would the NFL do this you may ask??? Well it seems a thousand people watching the game at a venue like this pollutes the ratings. Under NFL rules, pay or just a gtg, if you are watching the Big Game, if more than 5 people are watching the TV, you are having an "illeagle party". They can, if they want, prosecute you for said party, as an illeagle "rebroadcast". Under this rule, if followed, every bar, private club, retirement home, or private residence with more than 5 peeps, in Chicago, Indy, and anyplace else for that matter, must turn off the tv next sunday, or atleast change the channel. Thats how ya sell commercials boys......brilliant!!! Happy Superbowl everybody...............maybe I'll watch reruns of "Southpark" or something.

Da Count...and another long drive accomplished

So I get the word last night that it will be me making the bi-weekly drive. While I cringe at the idea, I know I must. As uncomfortable as these excursions are, I signed on for all of it, and this is part. I don't resent it, but I'd be lying to myself to say less than I dislike it. Now today I'm at work and hear the word..the dreaded word...two actually..."freezing rain". I call the lovely wife and inform her of this twist, ask her to check the weather map our route to see if it's true. A few minutes later, "patches of freezing rain" and light snow, both my path and his possible she confirms. I suggest he be informed, a night time drive seems abit risky. She's dubious, perhaps I'm just trying to avoid the awkward drive. It's not long before the call comes back, he's risking it. He has his cell, the roads are still good, if it gets too bad his side he'll call me, too bad my side I'll call him, either can abort no harm no foul....unless I just want to trust my judgement, and say no right now. My choices are take a stand and deny him a weekend with his daughter, or risk it on these grounds. I'm basically screwed.....:) I'm thankful tonight I have a loving and lovely wife....... I'm thankful that while the weather gods didn't smile, they chose not to frown..... I'm thankful the man looks me in the eye and says "thank-you" every time we make this meeting...even though I do it for her, not him. I'm thankful I have the tact to say "your welcome"...and leave it at that...:) Happy Da Count goofs and friends..:)

Wednesday movie review......:)

So it's been awhile since my last movie review, and the loveley wife and I were on a mission. We needed a happy go lucky family time experience with the kids, a bonding moment we could all enjoy. We searched the listings and decided to see "A night in the museum". Wow!! Where do I start here.....OK...deep breaths....be nice... I can honestly say I've seen worse movies. Few come to mind at the moment, but a few. I can honestly say "Freddy got fingered", "Dude where's my car (though the hot chicks...from space thing was cool)", perhaps even "Attack of the killer tomatoes" were worse. While I sadly admit to having seen all of these, the latter where rentals. I paid to see this on the big screen. The dissapointing thing is that this story could have been so much more fun. The premise of being a night gaurd at a museum of natural history, where all the displays come to life after dark, just has tons of possibilities. A story line with the right imagination could lead to almost anywhere, and still be fun for child and adult. This was not that story...... On the up side, I got to spend an evening with my wife and kids out of the house and doing "something". On the down side, I saw Ghengis Khan cry, as he got "in touch" with his emotions. I'm stained for life.......feel....so...soiled.....:) Take care goofs and friends!!

Almost Famous.....and TMI..:)

OK, so a lil wierd, but as a goof and all, I was very surprised by a request to consider an interview about my blog. I was even more surprised the offer seems to be legit. Ehh, we haven't decided yet...the lovely wife and I, but certainly cool to atleast be approached. Anywho, on to the TMI!! :) It is National Pie Day! hahaha ok enough nonsense... on with TMI! ;) 1. What is a creampie? A tastey snack, period...:) 2. Once a cheater, always a cheater. True or false... why? Trust is hard enough to build, let alone..rebuild, but I think false. People make mistakes, but on this one, it's usually a mistake because something is broke or was never really there to begin with. If it can be fixed, then it can be a "one time thing", if it was never there to begin with.....well...life goes on 3. Where is the female G spot and how do you find it? Which one? The one in her mind or the one just slightly offside the left toward the pubis? If you can't find the 1st, you'll probably never find the 2nd.....:) 4. Is there a correlation between shoe size and penis size? This one would be best answered by people who have actually dated a clown, mine can easily fit in my shoe.....:) 5. Can women have wet dreams? Those better be wet dreams soiling my sheets when Agrah is home alone!! :) Bonus (as in optional): Take a wild guess, how many calories are in a man's average ejaculation? (no cheating and looking that shit up!) haha Before or after chicago style pizza??????????

HNT repass.......

Please forgive me.....but hnt is not the same when the ambient temp in out house is 50 or less f. HNT tonight would b me or the lovely wife with 3 layers of flannel.....:) Fear and friends and goofs, by this time tomorrow, a new furnace installed....burning and a friendly 90,000 btu's of dinosaur farts.....I look forward to it...:) Happy HNT goofs and friends

On global warming........

I'm not saying it isn't happening but........... Spending considerable time and effort, convincing me your view of global warming and it's causes while I'm freezing my ass off.....is about as effective as... Spending considerable time and effort, convincing me your view of "safe sex" while I'm either not getting laid, or not taking risks that warrant it... Either count, you may have a valid point.......but I'm just not feeling it...;) Trivia, how many cubic tons of green house gasses does an average volcanic eruption toss out? Who will insist they install green technology and refrain from such behavior? Take care goofs and friends...:)

Learning new things...........................

I would just like to take this moment to say.....while learning to manipulate your torrent downloads....delete really really means delete...GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHH!!!!!!! That is all

And the battles begin!!

I stumbled onto this while reading ladyxandria'sTMI. It seemed so much fun I thought I'd give it a spin....:) ZigZagMan is a Giant Robot that emits Clouds of Inky Smoke, has Suckers on its Feet and a Sharp Beak, carries a Flamethrower, and is Poisonous. Strength: 7 Agility: 3 Intelligence: 9 To see if your Giant Battle Monster can defeat ZigZagMan, enter your name and choose an attack: fights ZigZagMan using Strength Agility Intelligence Please post your wins...losses...in the comments.......:)

TMI Tuesday....My 1st one this year

So the new year is well underway and I'm still pondering the meaning of it all. If the Bears take the superbowl.....and the Cubs take the world series....Then I'll know. It will mean the frigging coming of the end times is what it means!!!! But I digress.. TMI Tuesday, 1st of the year!!! Lets have at it shall we?? :) 1) What are three mistakes someone could make on the first date with you that would automatically make you turn down a second date with them? Hrrrmmm... tough one that, I'm a pretty open mind but I'll have a stab at it. A..While I don't mind if you smoke, I think dipping a wad of chewing tobacco on the 1st date may..no matter how hot you are...just may be a deal breaker. B..Being incredibly rude and or demeaning to the wait staff. Dissatisfied with bad service is one thing, rude just because tells me alot about you. C..Telling me repeatedly how much I remind you of your "Ex", or your "Dad", or your "Mom"...well lets face it, 1st date kinda creepy :) 2) Pick an animal that best displays your personality. :) Ever watch the muppets and wonder just what goes through that polyester head of Animal?? Yeah...thats my answer...I'm sticking to it. 3) If your so stopped having sex with you, how long would you stay? You mean stay in the relationship, or that awkward long pause...with a whitty comment like so...umm..we aren't going to have sex then?? 4) Are you more passive or aggressive when the relationship becomes physical? Goofs aside, that one really depends on the mood and moment. There are times when taking control is the way to go, but others when giving up control is just as good. 5) Have you ever been INSIDE a store that sold adult themed toys and videos? OH HELL YEAH!!! Didn't even wear a trench coat and dark glasses either. Bonus: What percentage of women do you think are capable of handling being in a "friends with benefits" relationship? How about men? I think the numbers are lower than most of us believe. Where I come from, the term is "fuck buddy" actually. It just always seems one or the other gets emotionally attatched in time, or attatched to another. While I think this "can" be done right, and in a caring way, it's not a relationship meant to last. Happy TMI Goofs and friends..:)

We are alive!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK....so it's been awhile since last post and alot to say, and no idea how to say it. Let's suffice to say I'm reminded Voltaire's comment that "God is a comedian....playing to an audiance too afraid to laugh". I've missed you goofs but needed a break, and have been making good use of it....observe.....:) The image up to your left is from Farscape. A series I hold dear right up there with Lexx. It was cool, it had space aliens, it had biolgical/bug ships, it had hot women, it had violence and mayhem...........damn it was fun. I've spent several hours these last few weeks watching all 4 seasons, now I'm a lil pissed, the final episode sucks!! I am told the special edition after season 4 on dvd, moves past this.....I'm "aquiring" it as we speak. Darts!!!! I'm not sure many of you know this about the Zig household, but we love the game. For Christmas....yes I said (Christmas...not the holidays.....you celebrate your way, I'll celebrate mine...respect to you, but respect me also) the lovely wife got us a grand new dart board, complete with flashy lights and trash talk feature...:) While I rather suspect this was a ruse on her part to clear outthe dining room of ages old debris....to actually use said board....I'm happy to report regardless....the ruse worked, and we are a dart playing house once more. It's been over a year since our last one died...it's good to toss them again. Do any of you toss darts? Cricket.....301.....501??? Take care goofs and friends!! :)
