July 12

Hello...
I am debating taking this down.
Does anyone read it seriously?

SKY

Just some cool pix I took.
I think you may dig them.

King Diamond

this is what happens when you listen to to much King Diamond......

CHICKENFOOT

I have the new Chicken Foot cd.....and it's totally rocks. One of the best things I have heard in a very long time. I also am so glad to see Joe in a band setting. If he did this in 1988 he would be legendary. Not that he is not, but he is more of a musicians musician.

Basically, take Sammy's Van Halen...take out the Van Halen's...add two much better musicians and let 'er rip. So good. So Good. So Good !!!!!!!

If the Van Hagar haters heard this in 1988, they would forget Van Halen and plaster Chickenfoot posters all over their rooms, buy the shirts, see the tours...it's that good.

I can not take it out of my car stereo.

still think the name is a little silly, but who cares...give me the great music!!

But can we shop here?

I thought this sign was funny.
There are a whole lot of "can not do's" in this mall.
There are also not a whole lot of shops here either.
The place is half empty.
You would definitely not run into anyone if you wanted
to skateboard inside this mall.

NEW TRUCK

hey people...
here is a pix of the new ride.....

spider cat

look over there!
is it a bird?
no......it's spider cat.

I hear bells ringing.....

So as some of you are a aware, Laura and myself have booked the wedding date.
It will be May 22 of next year. MARK YOU CALENDARS!
.....and thus begins the semi- scramble to book and organize the wedding. The entire men are from mars / woman are from Venus cliche has risen it's head. Not in a bad way at all, but there are definitely differences in modes of thought. What may stress Laura may not stress me and vice verse.
It it all good.....and I am looking forward to the challenge.

Whenyou love something....

When you love something....show it.
Even animals show it.
Just look what our cat does to his bunny.

Blades of Green

So the weather is getting nice.
What do you have scheduled for fun this spring and summer?
You should have lots of things to do.
Make time and just do it.
Life is not about work.
Life is about family and loved ones.
Life is not that hard.

Buy a Car

Now is the time to buy a car.
If you have the means, well heck, even if you don't have the means, you should check it out. I did!
I traded in my Truck, which there was absolutely nothing wrong with, for a barely used Mercury Mariner.
Why?
I never used the pick up as a pick up and the mariner was nice and so much practical.
My salesman basically said "what do YOU want to pay for this car? I have not sold a car in a month"
Scary, Sad, but True

My Wednesday RANT

To add to Scott's observation, my last few work days have been filled with phone callers who just will not accept my answers to their questions. They have an answer set in their mind and if i contradict it....oh boy...I must be providing bad customer service. Same with emails, sending me the same question in three different ways does not get you a new or better answer.
Must be the weather or the moon or the pollen in the air.
Either way.....people....come on already!

Guest Post - Leroy and Coffee

Here's a good topic for the blog. I visit various convenience stores every day. Time after time, I see two or more cups of coffee abandoned in the parking lot. Sometimes they're knocked over with spilled coffee running all over the place. Other times, it looks like they were thrown or run over. Judging by the amount of coffee hemorrhaged from the cup, they were full before the tragic demise of which no cup of java should experience. Yes, coffee has feelings, anima, life and death.

Theories:

1. Coffee didn't taste good and was thrown away
2. Coffee was forgotten on car hood
3. Coffee was dropped
4. Coffee anarchy

Talk amongst yourselves.

Sunday 5/3/09

Hello,
So it's sunday May 3rd.
I have no new pictures to post. There are many rants and observations I could list, but should I?
As the days go on, I am reminded how bad of divers most people are. Especially up here in Randolph NJ. Holy crap. I guess they don't have drivers education or classes up here. I almost see 2-3 accidents daily.
Also,
People that work a few grocery stores, not all of them, and not every person, but most of them don't care about anything. I have never seen such depressed people. Maybe the water up here needs some vitamins or something. lol....
I have also run accross some nice people, so don't get me wrong. There is also more of a sense of humor happening, so I guess it ALL evens out.
