Mr. P'body's Place

Man do I have an exciting Sunday planned....and this coming right after an equally exciting Saturday. I got to wake up at 0500 to go to the store today to do complete inventory. That wasn't finished until 1030 and I am pretty sure it's all wrong. I am one of those people who likes to do things themselves cause that way I know it is done and it is done right. Now after lunch I get to start and finish a Stat take home final that is due tomorrow. So here a few things to keep you entertained while I am away from the computer.

Mr. Picassohead - Draw like the master
Through the eyes of a Mac browser - see your website through the eyes of a Mac browser, duh!
Kittens! - Tons of pictures of kittens
End of the World - WTF Mate? (Sherman's pick)
Men Switch / Women Switch - More crazy switch ads
Boobies for Xmas - What every girl wants

You are George Walker Bush! You are the most
powerful man in the world, which leaves you
little time to think for yourself. Fortunately,
you have your friends to think for you!

Which member of the Bush Administration are you?

I am having a Super Mario party! I know it is cheesy and childish, but I still love Mario. Having acquired Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Party 5, I thought it was a perfect time to evite a couple friends over for fried chicken, 40's, and Super Mario action. Needless to say, I am not working on all the school stuff I should be. Guess this means I can get the Zelda series disc! Oh yeah, TECH lost to UVA (what a surprise). Humanitarian Bowl here we come!

Today was "Drive Like A Pirate Day" for me after my last class. Let me explain...soon after getting to my first class my right contact went nuts. I went to the bathroom and located it in my eye and took it out. The problem was that I couldn't tell which end was out. I put in back in and went back to class. Same thing occurred except that the damn thing rolled up in my eyelid. So I had to wait out the entire class with one eye open before I could get it out.

Went to my second class minus one contact and feeling very strange with the constant wink. Good thing was that the class didn't last long and I headed back home. If you thought driving home while being intoxicated is bad, how about having no depth perception. I am sure if people could see into my truck they would wonder why the hell I was driving with one hand over my right eye. If I had an eye patch and yelled, "Arrrrgh" out the window, things might have seemed more normal.

It is Sexy Saturday and I am all alone.

What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you in a sexual sense?

Three words...Climax Control Condoms. Nothing is worse than the ability to have sex for hours but not have any feeling in your dick.

Something every weblogger has done once in their lives has been the drunken post. So I am gonna hold true to such traditions and not edit my post after putting it up on my website. So how did I become drunk might you ask. Well that was thanks to Andre and Megan who invited me to join them at Hooters with a friend from work. The friend from work had a free wing party coupon which entitled us to have all the wings we wanted. Beer and fries were extra. So we and a couple of Andrew;s friends from work ate wings, played trivia and drank the night away. Which leads me to my one bit of knowledge I disclose to you tonight.

Tips on how to drive drunk:
1. Drive on the buddy system...if you want to drive your car home, follow someone home,
2. Use the Cruise Control, even when going 20 mph, you can concentrate on steering more.
3. Know your limit...I wish I still had the Army's old alcohol table...
4. Force other people to drink more than you that night if they have rides home.

What a day to have off and drive around town. The wind was up so that meant loose leaves were whipping through the air. I swear my truck was running so well it must have thought it was in a European sports car commerical. What is even more surprising is that I got everything I wanted to do accomplished today. Kozmo went to the vet and got more flea medicine. I went back home and withdrew most of money from my credit union. Last night, GB and I discussed my financial future. Trying to build a nest egg for retirement.

I know what most of you are thinking..."Retirement? But Barry, you not even 25 years old!" You have to start sometime and what better time than when the market is down so you get in for long run. Like Wu-Tang Clan financial consultants would say, "Diversify yo funds, biatch!" So GB helped me set up an account at Midtown Bank & Trust (no website yet) and once the money clears, set up some mutual funds that will provide with a potentially strong future.

Either that or I loose it all.

It was rough but I did it. I still don't think my midterm was all that great but hopefully my prof will disagree and give me a good grade. On the other plate, my Stats exam went better than expected. Some of the questions did cause me to think a little, but I think it was due to the major lack of sleep. All I know is that I was glad to finally get some rest last night. I still could have slept much longer but I have to work a whole day at work today. What a cruel world we live in.

Well we are half way through Studyapalooza and I am ready getting close to my whits end. I wouldn't be studying all day if I didn't procrastinate so much and my professors change their schedules. I am done with Stats so far but now I get to tackle the bigger problem of the take-home midterm from my adult learning class.

I wouldn't be so bad if things had continued like they were going to on a the syllabus of each class. I was suppose to have a in-class midterm last week but the rest of my class convinced him for a take-home which means it is more work. My Stats prof never tells us when homework is due except while we are in class. So I had to do two assignments for Monday (one of which is probably late) and get ready for an exam at the same time. For those of you keeping score than means in one day I have to complete:

Studyapalooza list:
Two Stats Assignment on SPSS
Study for a Stats exam
Take-home midterm for Adult Learning
Short summary of paper with finished title for Adult Learning

Well I better stop bitching and get back to reading or else I won't ever get to sleep tonight.

Well I went to see Matrix Revolutions tonight. I must say that I partially agree with Ronin with regard to the split feelings about the movie. I believe that it stems from the fact that the movie was suppose to resolve two problems but ended up only completing one of those.

The movie was good but not great. It was no Return of the Jedi and in fact if you had to compare the two trilogies, you think of Revolutions more like Attack of the Clones. It left you with some action but no issues resolved.

The reason for some liking it and other not rests on the fact that some people went to have questions answered while others wanted to see the final fights for human existance. Since the movie didn't come to a conclusion on such philosophical questions posed by the other two films (which might have been a good thing), it left some wanting more. I was one of those people. Overall a good movie, but I still like the first and second ones better.

A TBS candidate (Troy) from my old chapter actually came and interviewed me and Hakeber. I must say it was a pleasant experience getting to know a candidate. I haven't really been involved with Tau Beta Sigma for a while. Thanks Kenny for sending him my way...he is a very interesting little you have and will make a great sister.

On a related note, one of the National Officers of Tau Beta Sigma has a weblog now too. Check out Kegger's site.

Well Chris blew up at an employee tonight at work. He was scheduled off but came in to paint the store. I cleaned my office out most of the day cause we have both the district office moving into our store along with the vice president of TBC coming to check us out Thursday. As you can see this is already a stressful week and work isn't helping.

Anyways...back to the story. So tonight we had one of those mad rushes at the end of the night. Three customers came into the store an hour from close wanting to get new tires and alignments. Of course it is our policy to take all work up until closing time, no matter what it is. However, if people are coming in for warranty work...I do tend to push them off to the next day. If people who want to spend money come in...then I bend over backwards.

So our alignment tech had a problem with my associate writing up another ticket right before closing time. Chris and I both knew he had to do it due to company policy. His main beef was that the associate didn't ask him if he wanted to do it. To me there was no reason for that thought cause if he had said he didn't want to do it, we would have had an issue. You are going to do the alignment cause it take 30 minutes of your time and you make $13 for doing it. Easy money.

Well Chris likes to argue and all of a sudden I hear all this shouting from the backshop. I go back there and sure enough they are yelling about doing the alignment or not. The thing that makes this whole exchange funny to me is that the tech and Chris are roommates (and friends) and on top of it all, Chris drove him to work so he is not going home til Chris does. The whole arguement was pointless and the car eventually got done. Chris already has had heart problems, that probably didn't help.

I had an easy day but it looks like I am gonna have a rough week ahead of me. This week at work I have some big wigs coming to visit the store, so we need to paint, clean, and generally get the store ready for them. It also looks like I might be going in on my off day to help do things around the store. Since being bought out by another corporation, people have really been on edge.

I also have a take home midterm and a stats exam both next Monday. I really should have been working on the take home midterm this past weekend but it was nice to relax for once. Spend some quality time with the truck (cleaning and detailing). I even replaced the front clear corners because one had become hazy due to moisture. I will have pics once I chrome things out on it.

One thing is for sure this week...I will be stressed out. Fair warning to those around me if I snap at you. Oh yeah, mad props to Phat who performed at Dad's Garage tonight for his improv class. Sorry I couldn't make it dude...catch ya next time.

Ever been doing something, look at something, or just stopped at a point and thought of a song you heard that describes the moment you are in. I have those moments all the time. Looking outside at the streetlights in the neighborhood and on to the lights of the big city I was instantly connected with Easy by Lionel Richie. You just connect with the song at some place and then it fits right into the moment like it was the last jigsaw puzzle piece. I don't know what I would do in life if I didn't have music.

Read on for the Sexy Saturday post...

How important is it to have passion in a relationship?

I think that passion is essential for any new relationship. However passion is not important when the relationship progresses to the point of comfort. Every couple starts out with a lot of passion in everything they do. The relationship is new and your partner is an engima. Sexually you are driving on undiscovered country. For the first few days, weeks, months, years the relationship is exciting.

After a certain point of time the passion decreases and is replaced by comfort. Instead of trying to find a new way to turn your mate on everyday, you just like to sit and relax. However many people mistake this for being unexciting and passionless. Sometimes an evening playing video games together is just as exciting as a night in the dance clubs. Passion hasn't died but transformed.
