Costume Update

So my exhaustive search for the perfect cheer costume has left me empty handed. So I am going with an old favorite this evening. Dragging out the big ass afro, putting on the sweat suit, and gonna strut. Had little time to buy some bling bling, but it will have to do for tonight. Hell all I am gonna do is show up and drink myself silly (hopefully there is alcohol this year). In case you are dying to know I was gonna dress up in a gorilla costume while Hakeber would have been a giant banana suit. The next 6-8 hours would have consisted of me periodically dry humping her while grunting. Normal behavior for those who know us. Smell ya folks later...going out to get my eat on, later get my drink on, and eventually go home with something to poke on.

It's Halloween

Time for a Halloween themed Friday Five!

1. What was your first Halloween costume?
Hell if I know. I am sure my parents dressed me up in one of those tiny pumpkin costume before I could form episodic memories. Or perhaps I just blocked the emotionally disturbing images from my conscious thought.

2. What was your best costume and why?
Went as a Juggalo one year (Yes, I do listen to Insane Clown Posse now and then). I had all the face paint and everything. The only thing that sucked was that I still wore glasses then.

3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn't give you a treat?
That is not how it works and no I didn't. When you come up to the house you say trick-or-treat. That gives the person who opened the door the option of performing either. Treats have become more common cause nobody know any tricks anymore. And a flaming bag of poo is no trick.

4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
Nope, not really. We would often carve pumpkins but it was never consistent. Christmas was our time of year.

5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend!
Arnold for President!

Last minute costume shopping

Tomorrow is Family Night and I still haven't found a gorilla and banana costume. Hopefully Party City will help me per the advice of David (damn, someone needs to update their webpage). So until next time, enjoy the GT Band Kissing Tree!

"What the hell is going on?!?!?"

Mario Party 4Super Monkey Ball 2SSX3

Above are three reasons you probably haven't heard anything from me in a while. I have been consumed with the renewal of my relationship with my gamecube. It is amazing how many games have came out since I last bought one. And the last one I got was Zelda. Man that was a long time ago.

I watched the final episode to the Joe Schmo Show. I must say I was both glad and disappointed in the final show. I hated the fact I had to wait two weeks for it, but it was good to see the ending. I tell you my reaction who have been totally different in his situation. However unlike Matt from the show, I probably would have tapped Molly.

And a quiz to top off the wasting time session...

you are original!

What flavour of Pringles are you?

Mario Kart Action!

So in case you haven't noticed, I finally got around to changing my background on my desktop. What is it you ask? Well it something I picked up from the new Mario Kart Double Dash site. I will tell you, this game along with the Zelda series is why I wasted my money on a gamecube. I know that PS2 and Xbox are better systems overall, but they weren't going to have these games. Mark you calendars people...the game hits the store November 17th.

Wasting time before class

So I got a little early to class today. Make that three hours early. I forgot that my first class was only going to be paper reviews for those who had started working papers. Needless to say I am no where near that point. On another note, I got my Stats grade back (that's my second class I am waiting on) and I got an A. I am pretty sure I only missed like one or two questions and also sure that many others in that class didn't score higher than I.

So for now I am sitting in the COE library wasting time on the computer. I shouldn't be here cause there are people waiting on computers and I am just playing around on mine. Of course other people are doing the same so it displaces the guilt.

While wasting time I stumble upon an ad for the new $20. I also find it shocking that they have a website dedicated to it. At which point I think of two things...Do you really need to advertise for a such a common currency AND If it does work to advertise, why didn't this happen with the golden dollar? Well apparently it is working because lost of customers are coming into the store saying things like, "have you seen the new twenty" or "do you have the new twenty". Perhaps the golden dollar didn't do well due to the fact that coins are produced by the U.S. Mint while paper money is done by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Operating under different budgets they couldn't spend as much on advertising. Seems like they could combine the two to me. What makes it even more confusing is the fact you can buy sheets of uncut bills on the U.S. Mint's site. All in all, I would have liked to seen the golden dollar used more.

Aww...that wasted 40 minutes of my time...now what else can I do.

Kids Today

This article is totally hilarious to me. Why is it funny? Cause I played most of the games that these rugrats played for the EGM. Hell, if I went home I am sure I could find the Handheld Football game along with all my old Nintendo games. I had like over 60 at one time. I know what you are thinking, "Damn Barry, I knew you were old but I didn't know you were old enough to have played that crappy football game." Well it was my dad's game I guess, I just took it over when I got old enough. I also had a mini-arcade table top version of Pac-man. Someday I will have my own house where I can display all my old nostalgic video games.

Now on to moral dilemmas...

Writing the Sexy Sat post in my sweat suit.

Here's a few moral dilemmas, do you think them fair or foul?
Hooking up with your roommates' ex-gf.
I would consider her fair game. Although I would like to get my roommate's permission first cause it could lead to a stressful situation.

Babbling about your sex life to friends.
Close friends? no problem...

Not spilling the news about an STD to a new lover.
Big time foul!

45 minutes late...who really cares?

Stop the Penis Party!

Stop the Penis Party!
Dear Generic Viagra Solicitors,

I am not interested or will I ever be in any penis performance/enhancement pill/patch/pump/etc. that you might try to sell me. I believe my partner in crime expresses the same feelings as I do and I speak on her behalf as well. Please cease and desist and further correspondences with either of us via email, comments on our sites, popups, etc. I have no need for your products due to the fact that I am strong like a bull (contact Hakeber for verification). Any further advertisements directly or indirectly made by your company will be treated as hostle invasions on my personal space (aka they will be deleted really quickly). Continued abuse of power will lead me wield the control over the Waybac Machine. In which I will go back and kill the inventor of the internet, Al Gore. Don't push me to such limits!

Thanks for your compliance ass monkeys,
Mr. P'body

First Midterm! (Update)

Man that exam was a piece of pie, easy as cake, damn easy! I was the first one done (around 45 minutes total time). It felt strange to be the first done with an exam again. I haven't had that feeling since high school. In fact the exam was just like the little bit of statistics I had learned while in high school. Of course I am sure I got a few answers wrong, but it seemed like the professor hyped it up to be really hard. I mean it is a graduate level stats course. It always seems to be the case when I feel I did really well on an exam that I actually did average. In any case the major stress for the week has been lifted. Now maybe I should tackle some of those readings I have neglected for the past few weeks...Nah!

No Study Time!!

Well I wanted to leave work around 2pm. As you can see that didn't happen. I barely have enough time to write this entry. Now I get to make the 100 yard dash to school and try and perform well on an exam I haven't studied enough for. Not to mention I am gonna have the store calling me all night because they will be asking all kinds of questions. I am already looking forward to tomorrow. Time to run, wish me luck.

First Midterm!

Well today is the day of my first midterm of the semester. The class you ask? Stats 1. Right now I feel like I am about 85% prepared to take this exam. I studied last night til about 1am before hitting the sack. I wouldn't be so worried about the exam if I didn't have to go to work today. This gives me very little time to complete my studying before classes this evening. Maybe I also wouldn't be so worried about this thing if I had studied early or if I new what to expect. I am use to stats exams I took at TECH which were harder than crap to pass. This exam also covers a smaller area of topics than I am use to, so I am wondering how someone could make up a 100 question test over so little. I guess I will find out later tonight. Hopefully I won't have to compute probabilities for poker hands like I did in another stats course. I have tomorrow off from work because I will need it.

I hate working the weekends

What is after Friday? Sexy Saturday of course!

Is sex better in a relationship? is it better when you're in love?

That is a tough because I don't ever recall being in a position where I wasn't in love at the time with the person I was having sex with. Therefore I have no basis for comparison. In my opinion it really doesn't matter what kind of relationship you are in that determines the sex but the person themselves.

There are three forms of sex: basic sex, making love, and just plain o' fuckin'. Basic sex is your roll over and see your mate next to you in bed and you decide to get it on. Making love expands the basic sex notion and fills it up with more feelings and occurs in a much larger time frame. Generally speaking making love is something only couples really get to experience a handful of times in a year. The last is plain o' fuckin'. This is basic sex to the other extreme. Feelings are cast aside and something primordial emerges.

It is possible to have signs of all three in a single mate but no likely. Since they occur on a continuum, you most likely will have varying levels of each. Your mate might only like to make love most of the time, have casual basic sex occasionally and only on your birthday allow you to really grind them down. Then the question becomes not what kind of relationship provides better sex, but what kinda of sex do you like better.

Sports Questions?

Time for another Friday Five (because I can't think of anything else to write about)

1. Do you watch sports? If so, which ones?
I try and watch all sports. The only ones that I do watch regularly are hockey and college football. Most of the others just don't seem to interest me.

2. What/who are your favorite sports teams and/or favorite athletes?
Favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings.

3. Are there any sports you hate?
Not really, just ones I don't like to watch for an extended period of time.

4. Have you ever been to a sports event?
Of course. I think it is a right of passage if you go to college. You have to at least go to one sporting event at your college before you get out. If not then you can consider your time spent in college to be a total waste.

5. Do/did you play any sports (in school or other)? How long did you play?
I played Ultimate Frisbee for a good portion of college. I was also in marching band which should become a sport.

Is wireless worth it?

I am still wondering if wireless is all it is cut up to be. I mean if I had a laptop or wireless pda then it might be better. Last night we had a brown/black out in the apartment. Well the router and modem got messed up and it took me about 30 minutes to reset them so they would begin to talk to each other again. Right now all I want for Christmas is a new laptop with a wireless connection. Then I could sit in the living room, watch TV, and play on the internet. Not to mention I could use it on campus on their budding WAN.

Take it to the Xtreme!

Finally, my kind of Friday Five questions...

1. What vehicle do you drive?
2000 Chevy S10 Xtreme, Onyx Black, 4.3L

2. How long have you had it?
I have had it since February 16th, 2000.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
That is tough to decide cause I like all the features. Most people though are impressed by the Kenwood stereo that flips out.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
The hardtop cover I have on the back end. First of all, it doesn't latch all the time. Second of all it was designed for my old 1987 S10 that was wrecked. Finally at some places you can see the old gold paint of the old truck still shine through. I really would just like to get a new cover.

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
That is a tough one cause there are so many. I would like to either have my old truck back or a 1979 Corvette StingRay T-top. Of course I would weld the doors shut so you have to jump into it every time. Needless to say, it wouldn't be a car to pick up the ladies in.

My cat hates me for the day

Today was Kozmo's second visit to the vet. On his first visit he got his rabies shot and I thought he did pretty well. However when we came back after dropping him off, we found the apartment had vomit all over the floors. I thought he was disgruntle so he let us have it so to speak. So on his second visit today, he is under close watch. But perhaps he is staying close to me so he can watch the person who just commited all these cruelties toward him. I mean have you ever seen your pet's face when someone is sticking a probe up their butt. Not the best thing to see let me tell you. I feel violated for watching it transpire.
