Tig ole Bitties

So yesterday I was "de-flowered" so to speak with regard to strip clubs. I went with a couple friends up to Athens just to hang out. I went there with my roommate from college and his new girlfriend to see his old high school buddies that I actually happen to know (small world, eh). So we get there, go the liquor store, and then proceeded to drink. One 4-minute drill later and half a Colt 45 and I am drunk. Then we decide to get something to eat. Keep in mind that none of us actually have eaten a full meal the entire day. So that liquor hit us hard. Pizza finally arrived but it was too late we all in a drunken state decided we were going to the local strip club.

The place we landed was called Topper's International Showbar. We only went because it was Titty Tuesday and that meant a $1 cover. Let's just say this place really didn't have high class women. Basically there was two sizes of boobies at this place. You either looked at these or these. Not much to choose from. While sitting there watching the ladies do there stuff I couldn't help but wonder how people get turned on by this. Then I forgot all about deep thoughts when boobs are right up in your face. Definitely an experience I will cherish. Thanks Strap for taking me.

Memorial Day weekend wrap-up

Well my weekend was both relaxing and hectic at the same time. Sound like fun? Not really. Let's see....to start off, I saw a couple bands perform at the Vanilla Coke On the Bricks Concert Series that started this weekend. I got to see John Mayer perform which I haven't in a while. Last time I saw him was when he was opening up for Guster a year back. A year later, John Mayer is now headlining on his own and also tour with Guster. It was nice to hear him once again, he is a good guitarist. On Saturday, I went to friends wedding. It was nice. There was a full meal so that was nice as well. Sunday, was solid day of rest.

This brings us to Today (aka Memorial Day). The mission was to spend the day with the parents and have a BBQ. First of all my Mom makes a crap load of food only for 5 people. We are talking 10 ears of grilled corn, BBQ pork ribs, whole smoked chicken, boiled potatoes, and two kinds of pasta salad. It was just insane. There was no way 10 people could have eaten all that food. Of course during the whole cooking, she was cleaning and doing way too much. You know the saying, "When Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". Well they must have had my mother in mind when they made that. She was doing everything, telling everyone she was doing everything, but wouldn't let anyone help her. This lead to very stressful Memorial Day for me.

On top of that all, Hakeber was reading the newspaper and all I could see was bad news. A man get killed by Batman and a Rainbow. And all the articles about how we are heading into World War III. What most people don't realize is the fact that both World Wars developed over several year (we are talking a decades worth of time). I believe that it is only a matter of time before it is gonna happen. So I look to the Internet for a little bit of happiness and this and this was all I found.

Also....please buy some messenger bags (see below)

A day of rest

I finally got my new Dell thanks to the many commercials by Steven. I didn't notice it until now but there are a lot of fansites for this dork. Check 'em out! It is truly amazing. Well the little geek goes here for school. I hope he realizes that he ruined his acting career by doing these commercials. But enough about him....I got a new computer and it is sweet. Beats the pants off the old laptop. So for now I am stuck with a crappy dial-up connection via Netzero. It is a drastic change going from T1 to 56K, but I think I am handling it well for now. I do think I am gonna get DSL soon, but I have no idea right now which is the better company to go with. But for now, I need to get a job. You would think that since I graduated I would have a nice job all lined up for me....hell no. I tell you I should have gone to school for paralegal stuff cause there about 50 jobs in the area for them.

On with the news...
Iceberg Breaks Away From Antarctica - Isn't this sort of stuff written in the Bible somewhere. Who cares... pour some Vanilla Coke on that crap and lets make slushies.
Lauderdale Airport Terminal Evacuated After Metal Detector Found Unplugged - I seriously had no idea that these things just plugged into a socket. Just another bad design I guess.
Teacher Displays Porn During Exam - Now why couldn't this have happened while I was taking my final exams this past semester (or any semester for that matter)?
Bald Chicken 'Needs No Plucking' - I am glad that modern science is spending it research money on time on making chickens go bald. I would be really pissed if I was a chicken without feathers. What would all the girl chickens think of me?
Magician to Spend 35 Hours Atop Pillar - I swear this guy has made a pack with the Devil. The dude floats, gets frozen in ice, and now he is going to stand on a building for 35 hours and then jump off. Daivd Blaine =

Paige Davis....hmmmmm


take the which one of the trading spaces cast are you? quiz!


Yeah....so what that I like Trading Spaces? I actually like that show a little. Hakeber on the other hand just loves the show. I like to show because of Paige Davis. That site really doesn't do her justice. If you have ever watched the show you know is pretty hot. And it looks like many others share my fetish. I think I am turning domestic. At least I am not as bad as people wrecking Segways. Yeah I know that is old, but hell anything is new if you don't have a steady internet connection anymore. Hell, I mean where did this thing come from? I am way out of touch with the world. I can't wait for my new computer to arrive. I will be back with more later.

Now what?

It has been an interesting past couple of days to say the least. I finally got cable a day ago. It sure does beat staring at the fly strips I have hanging around the room. When I moved into this place, I saw a couple of flies round the room and didn't think too much of it. Then a few days ago I there seemed to more than just a handful. Now I have some of those fly strips hanging from the windows. Some of them have as many as 10 flies on them. My place is turning ghetto fast.

Last night, my friends threw a little post graduation party for me. Everything was cool and people were having a good time. This was of course until a whole gaggle of high-schooler showed up to crash the party. Well just like a gang of white suburbanites trying to be black, they started to cause trouble. They made up with a tub of beer and almost started a brawl. When they finally left, we all went back to drinking. It just reminded me how much I dislike high school wannabes. The next party is gonna be a my place where the only trouble you have to worry about is the wandering bum.

Welcome back!

I now stand before you a graduated and moved man. First things first, I finally graduated from that North Avenue Trade School. I almost didn't think I was gonna graduate because on one particular Prof who seemed to have it out for me. You see that this school, we use to have it that graduating Seniors didn't have to take finals. Well about a year ago, the bill to allow Seniors this privilege was presented and it failed to pass. So the last fall was when graduating Seniors didn't have to take finals. Lucky me graduating in the Spring got to take finals. Here is the funny part, instead of moving graduation until after all the grades have been process, they went ahead and had graduation the same time as they would normally do it. We would walk through ceremony on Saturday, but not actually find out we graduate until the following Tuesday. Stupid school. They could have easily pushed the date for graduation back a whole week, so that some people (like myself) wouldn't be wondering, "Did I get pass all my classes?"

Now onto the subject of being moved. I am finally moved and settled into my new apartment with Hakeber. It was rough picking up your life (in many cardboard and plastic boxes) and moving down the street. It took a four day process to move all the stuff. Since I was no longer living in a dorm, I had to supply my own furniture. That is what made it fun. So we plundered Kmart while it was still open and got some good stuff. I tell ya, when Kmart has a going out of business sale, the people really come out of the woodwork for it. I wish I could have more links and stuff, but seen as how I don't have a steady Internet access, it makes it kinda hard. I am waiting to get DSL put in though. Along with a new computer. This old laptop is finally starting to go. The CD-ROM stopped working about a year ago and now the A drive is fried. I don't want to get any work done on it cause it cost way too much money for work on a laptop compared to a regular desktop PC. In any event, I will be back with more soon.
