Damn It
MUST GET BACK INTO BLOGGING
Man. I really want to get back into blogging. I enjoyed writing and putting some thoughts out there. I enjoyed tinkering with the site, and I enjoyed the feedback (I was surprised that i actually had ANYONE reading the blog).
Anyway, I am really going to make an effort to get back into this. it was fun. Hopefully people will still read if i get back into it. I am thinking about moving it over to blogger though. that way, maybe I can get a bit more traffic going.
One thing I’m going to post about soon is what i’ve been up to as the Internet is concerned. I’ve been using twitter, and it’s kinda fun. I sort of thought it was dumb at first, but I’ve gotten into it.
I’ll write more about that in a little bit.
I’m BACK!!!
Well sort of. I’m going to try some new things. I think I’m going to move my blog to elsewhere and see how that goes.
I would kind of like to see if I could generate some more traffic to the site, I’d love to start some discussions or such.
I also have this wacky idea that I’d like to try. I absolutely love Haiku poems, I would like to make a haiku blog. Something that, every day or every few days i’d try to write a Haiku about pretty much anything. Or, if I came across a Haiku I liked, I’d post it.
Another idea, along the same lines is, people could submit an image and I’d try to write a haiku about that image.. I don’t know.. it’s a silly idea but I thought maybe it’d be fun, plus maybe it’d be a bit more focused than my random ramblings that I currently have up here now.
I know one thing for sure, I’m going to get back into this, I really enjoyed having a place to vent and just write stuff. I’m surprised how much I enjoyed it, even if no one reads it.
Are You a Douchebag?
Hey there everyone.. remember me?
So it’s been a long time.. I know.. I know. It’s been hectic at work and at home, and to be quite honest, I haven’t had anything fun or exciting to post recently. Been doing a lot of stuff with the kids and wife and all that, but that’s not really what I post here, so although I’ve been busy, it’s not been bad.
I just wanted to throw this out there. Are you a douschebag (click the link stupid)?
I’ll probably make another post here shortly… Toodles.
Bye Bye Chicken
As I said before, the Wife and I are on a diet. It’s goin alright.
I was feeling a little lazy this evening and couldn’t figure out what I wanted to fix for dinner. We had a few thawed chicken breasts in the fridge so I figured I’d cook them up and make a salad. Then I would have enough to cut up for Dusty tomorrow if she wanted some too.
So I’m cooking them up on the stove and decide that I should have cut them in half because they were just too thick. Raw chicken disgusts me so I didn’t want to do it when I started cooking, but I didn’t want them to dry out and burn either, so I pulled one breast out of the pan, and cut it up into pieces so it’d cook better. I reach in and grab the other breast with my handy dandy tongs, pull it out of the pan and promptly dropped it into the sink.
Luckily the sink was empty and clean.
So I go to grab the breast with my tongs that have failed me and the damn thing slid into the garbage disposal before I was able to grab it!
So that’s the end of my chicken breast. I thought about it for a few minutes. Thought ok.. I could pull that bastard out of the garbage disposal and cut it up and try to forget where it’s been… But I know what the inside of those garbage disposals are like, and they are DISGUSTING. So Flick, I flick the switch on the disposal.. ARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARAR… bye bye chicken. I just kept thinking… Glad it wasn’t a steak.
Updating Themes
I’m trying out some new themes… so the site might looked messed up for a little bit. I might go back to the old one for a bit till I can get this sorted out…
The Bacon Love Continues
I know.. I know… it’s been a while since I’ve posted…
I’ll post more later, maybe Thursday, I promise… I’m sure you’re on the edge of your seat, giddy with anticipation, but you’ll have to wait just a bit longer.
I just thought I’d throw a little more bacon love out there, I present to you “The Bacon Scarf“. If anyone wants to buy me a birthday gift (ahem… March 16th) this would be THE gift. Thanks Vince for the link…
I’m a Fat Bastard
My wife and I are on a diet.
<– Not to scale
We’ve done this diet thing before, it actually worked and both of us were able to keep a large amount of the weight we lost off for a decent amount of time. We decided to go back on it after the holidays so we could fit comfortably in our clothes.
So far it’s working alright. Both of us have been doing pretty well, she has much better willpower than I do, which is good since she does most of the grocery shopping. And since I’m lazy that means I’m going to eat right also because there’s nothing but healthy crap in our house at the moment and I’m too lazy to go out and get something unhealthy. I guess that’s a good thing, right?
Last night we didn’t have a particularly exciting or filling dinner. it wasn’t bad at all… it just wasn’t very filling or satisfying. That’s the problem with diets, right? They tend to be a little less than satisfying, I mean, what’s more satisfying than a big pile of mashed potato’s with milk gravy and butter (I’m talking food here, nothing dirty, pervs.). I can assure you, cooked zucchini is not.
Anyway, last night we were watching “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” on FoodTV. That was a mistake. It was all about hamburger joints and fried food… about 10 minutes into the show, Mrs. Granson and I are basically ready to devour anything that came in front of us. It was horrible… I was seriously ready to get dressed (I was in my spongebob pants and slippers) and head out into the wind and snow to get anything, all she had to do was say the word… Sadly she resisted the temptation and we just decided to go to bed hungry.
We didn’t even have any Bacon.
Just for the record, I’m typing this while eating a Lemon bar. The wife of one of the guy’s here at work made Lemon Bars for everyone. I couldn’t insult her by not eating one.. so I’m doing it to keep from hurting her feelings. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I feel guilty. I’ll get over it.
Really Cool Panoramic Photo
Quick post today. I have been busy haven’t had much time to ponder or rant.
I just came across this panoramic of an Airbus A310 cockpit. Pretty cool. I’d be confused. I wonder if it gets the internet.
Funeral Processions
I need to bitch for a minute.
A few days ago I was driving home for lunch down a 4 lane road when a funeral procession came my way. I instantly pulled over and waited for it to pass. I do this even though the procession is on the other side of the road and there are multiple lanes between us, and so should you.
As I was sitting there, and I wasn’t the only person pulled over by the way, People would come up behind me slow down, then pass me and keep on driving.
That just PISSES ME OFF. Seriously, how hard is it for a person to show a little respect? I can think of maybe one reason that you would be justified to keep driving, and that’s if you have your pregnant wife in the seat next to you and she’s about to give birth, otherwise take time out of your, obviously overly important and busy day and PULL YOUR ASS OVER.
Seriously, It’s a show of respect, not so much for the dead person, but for the family. Remember, the person in that coffin was someone’s mother, father, husband, wife, brother, or sister. It’s a simple sign of respect toward the people that have experienced a loss, as simple as that. There is nothing so important in your day that you can’t take an extra 2 or 3 minutes to respect that simple fact. You don’t have to sit and watch as the procession goes by, hell, send someone a text message or something while you’re sitting there, lord knows you’re probably doing it while you’re driving anyway.
And remember, it’s seriously only going to take 2 or 3 minutes, often times less, sure sometimes someone was very popular or important and the procession will take longer, but what are we looking at, 10 minutes at most?? I think your stomach can wait another 3 minutes before you cram down the quarter pounder you’re about to go buy from McDonalds.
Zero Punctuation
I don’t know if you’re a gamer or not…
But either way, this guy does these game reviews once a week. They are normally pretty entertaining. Here’s his latest.
Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, it’s been kinda busy around here. If I’m not dealing with work, I’m dealing with refinancing our house. It’s all an evil plot to make me rich.
