Enjoy.

Important safety tips

Thought I would post these rules in case anyone is unclear (these aren't brand new, but I haven't seem them in a while) --

The Guys' Rules
We always hear "the rules " from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it.
That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem -- See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done.
Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible , Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

-- Update: Check out the reply from "your potential girlfriend" on this post. Just as clever though a tad harsh. I hope she doesn't think I really think this way (and need I mention I didn't write this originally? I just thought it was humorous).

ALMOST...

Yep, my official poker moniker once again proves true. I had 6 players last night, so the payout went to the top 2 players, 60/40 split.

I was 3rd. Crap.

However, the evening was a rousing success, and the group of gentlemen assembled are all welcome to all future events. A couple of you I hadn't seen in a while, so it was great to catch up and have some laughs.

Tonight

is my first Poker night at my place! I have assembled a crack team of 8 friends (I didn't know I had 8 friends) to come over to my place for an evening of Texas Hold 'Em. I am seriously stoked by this. I have amassed all the tools I need to pull this off -- Poker Chips, a table top, chip holders, blinds timer, and of course the cards.

I will report the results tomorrow. I will be leaving the office early so I have plenty of time to get things setup to my satisfaction.

What do you mean

You haven't been watching Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi?

To make up for lost time

Here are two great pictures. Jessica Biel and Milla Jovovich. If you really care about which one is which, then you don't need me to tell you.

Thanks to the mixup

I find myself working until 6pm tonight. Nothing quite like having to rush straight from work to home to the theater. What mixup? Well one of my clients who is renting a classroom for the next couple of days was under the impression they were booked to 6pm. Of course I found out about this as I was walking in to close the classroom at 5pm. I went back and pulled up the rent agreement (I was right), but decided out of the goodness of my heart (and the security of my job) to allow them to stay. So I decided to use the time to do a little "blogging".

The week was pretty good. I taught 3 days this week and spent the last two being office manager. What that meant for today was -- making coffee... lots of it. I mean a bunch. Seriously, we are talking fluid gallons of the brown stuff. I had two classrooms full of students (close to 40 people) and I have one coffee pot which makes about 10-12 cups. I filled my 3 carafes (each holding a pot and a half of coffee) 3 times each today. That is 13 pots of Folger's goodness. No one is allowed to criticize my diet coke habit ever again.

The NCAA tournament is under way. I am hoping to catch some games. I really like March Madness, though I am not a "can't miss a game" type of guy.

The Sacramento Kings are currently in the number 7 playoff spot with a little over 20 games to go. Gotta love that.

Keep hearing more about the death penalty vs. life in prison without the possibility of parole. I have expressed my views on this, but it still makes me want to scream.

I am still not rich. I will keep you all posted on this as my situation changes.

Sorry...

but it made me laugh! Sue me.

Every now and then...

you have to ask yourself "Now what?!!"

Having problems uploading images, but here is the pic.

What's going on?

Things have been rocky in my world the past month or so. It hasn't been anything I can exactly put a finger on and say "that's it!", but just a general feeling of "blah" which has managed to keep me on tilt. I haven't felt like writing much of anything, and haven't really wanted to do much of anything -- be it staying in, going out, eating, even sleeping. I guess this is what you would call depression.

But the thing is, I don't really feel depressed as much as I feel like I am behind a huge ball moving to block my exit and I can't seem to get around it. There are some positives - the new job has a tremendous amount of potential and things are very positive on that front. The over 40 and still single angle is getting pretty old, and that is a matter of some contention, but nothing drastic.

I am trying to motivate myself into a daily workout regime, but haven't had much success -- yet! I am not giving up on this front, as this is something I desparately need to do.

Mikey, I let you and Black Rabbit Productions down. I am sorry. I owe you big time. Tell me what I can do to make it up to you.

On the plus side, I recommend to all who enjoy a good comedy to go see "They're Playing Our Song" at Garbeau's Dinner Theater. My professional opinion? A show really worth watching. There is a lot of chemistry between the leads, and it is funny.

My sincerest apologies

to the readers of my blog and to Black Rabbit Productions. I have been completely out of it the past several weeks for numerous reasons and I haven't been able to spend the necessary time to get things done. Hopefully the end of this week brings with it the respite I need to get a fresh perspective on all my work. Thanks for your patience.
