Bachelor...Again
I have used that title for a previous post, but that was pre-blogger I think. Anyway, for 1 week I am a bachelor. My wife and kids are at the in-laws for the week. During this time I will try to get some work done around the house. Things I cant do with a 3 year old following me around. Since the house has had 2 years to settle some of the crown molding has separated and needs to be caulked and the paint touched up. There are about 10 nail holes that need to be filled and painted. The curtains need to be ironed. Yes I iron the curtains. Once a year. They are linen and a pain in the rear to iron. I do it because its much easier for me to take them down then for my petite little wife. Plus, once again, the 3 year old. Don't need him running around while the ironing board and iron are out in the middle of the room.
In addition to the chores, I also use this time to catch up on my man movies. I'm a pretty nice guy and don't subject my wife to action movies when we go rent something together. I started the day with "Hollywood Homicide". Not actually a personal choice but I hadn't been to video store yet and it was on TV. I had just completed chore number 1 (remove half the dirt in the flower bed and replace it with compost, top soil and new mulch), and my arms and back were so tired when I was done I couldn't turn the channel. Later in the evening when I had some strength back, I rented "I, Robot", "1 hour Photo", "The Manchurian Candidate" and "The Village". So far I have only watched "I, Robot". I liked it ok. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Speaking of my being a bachelor, you can tell I'm bored and lonely. This is post number 3 in about 20 minutes. I guess all this babbling is what I typically direct towards my wife. Poor woman.

Any day now
Something that has never happened to me in my entire life will soon happen. It's going to be any day now. And it's not something I'm looking forward to. Yes, to my horror, I think that some day soon, I will be forced to pay over $2.00 for a gallon of gasoline. What sucks is that the 2 closest places to fill up where some of the cheapest in the metropolitan area. But not now. Not for many months. If it gets worse I might even be forced to use an expletive. In fact I just did. Luckily you weren't here. It was a bad one. Stupid gas prices.

Bitter Sweet
There are 3 high schools in the town where I now live. I tend to support the one where my kids will go starting in about 5 years. Last night that high school won the boys class 6A state championship in basketball. Unfortunately it was against my hometown high school.

Typical French
Just found this to be very typical. I thought I'd play a game of internet checkers tonight. My opponent was from France (or at least thats what the game said). Things were going along pretty quickly but then it down to 4 checkers to 2, in my favor. I finally got him cornered so that he would have to put himself into a position for me to jump him. The little weazel left the game. Typical French quitter. What a weiner.

I feel fat
Is that something guys usually say? Am I becoming a woman? Well either way I gotta get rid of some of this lard hanging around my middle.

The List
This is is a list I compiled a few years ago of things not to do
Dont turn left out of the right lane if there is a policeman watching - OOPS!
Dont hold officers at bay
Dont invite young boys to stay at your Neverland Ranch
If you do dont fondle them and look at internet porn
If you are a high school teacher (or anyone else for that matter) dont hide a video camera in the girls locker room
If you are a high school teacher dont fondle and kiss a 15 year old
Dont shake a baby
Dont kill your classmates
Dont kill your parents
In fact, dont kill anyone
Dont have a baby while at the prom and then throw it away
Dont have a baby in your bedroom and then leave it at your neighbors back door in the cold for 2 days where it will later die
Dont long for attention so bad that you strap your kids into the back seat of your car and then send it into the lake
Dont kill your ex-wife and a waiter
Dont blow up a building with people in it
Dont send mail bombs (except maybe email bombs, those are funny)
Dont worship the devil
Dont freak out over Harry Potter books and try to have them banned, its just a freaking story you morons.
Dont read Harry Potter books and then try to do magic, its just a freaking story you morons
Dont come to my wifes office acting like you want a tour of the facility and then have your buddy steal her purse
Dont ride your bike through my yard
Dont touch or spit on my mailbox when you walk by my house
(starting to get a little personal, let me get back on track here)
Dont shoot arrows into your neighbors siding
Dont get mad at someone while driving, chase them into their house and shoot them
Dont get mad at someone while driving and run them off the road and kill them
Dont load a bunch of kids into the bed of a pickup and then head off down the highway..even if you DO have a camper on the back
Dont smoke pot, it's expensive, its illegal and it stinks. If you've got a medical condition and it makes you feel better, fine, whatever. But if you're just doing it to catch a buzz, just go smack your head up against the wall, its cheaper
Dont get drunk. You just end up acting like a dumbass (or maybe that was why you got drunk..dont know)
Dont buy things you cant afford. So what if your friends just got a big house, they're probably going to have to work until the day they die to pay for it
Dont charge things on your credit card unless you intend to pay for it at the end of the month
Dont cheat on your spouse. Why get married if you're just going to do that crap?
Dont fool around in the Oval Office
Dont be a bandwagon sports fan. There were so many OU Sooners flags on car windows around the time they went to the Orange Bowl. Now where are they? If you like them, then like them 100% of the time.
