FYI

To anybody who doesn't live in WI....it's mother fucking cold here. I want to win the lottery so I can live in a warmer place and just fly around and watch the Badger Hockey team play.

Oooohhhh...and I want to build a theater in a house that I design myself.....but I'll settle for living someplace warm and only coming back to see the Badgers play.

Valentines Day is stupid

Happy Valentines Day to all you lonely pathetic people like me who can't find somebody to spend the day with. I'm going to the Olive Garden with my Ma, Great Aunt Helen, Sister, and best friend Jenny. All 5 of us are single losers. (Well my Ma and Helen are widowed and my sister has Downs Syndrome so only Jenny and I are losers technically)

Happy Birthday Andy

Today is Andy's birthday. He is 9. I have to stop by the store to get
ingredients so my Ma can make him cookies for his Birthday. Last year
I got him a toy and he wasn't impressed because he doesn't really play
with toys anymore. He's too mature for toys. He prefers sleeping all
day and eating too. Mainly sleeping if he can find a good place on the
floor where the sun is shining in the window.

Snow vs. Dog

The Amount of snow we got:




The size of the dog:



End result in low snow areas:



End result in high snow area:





Yeah...I'm not sure where he is either. But he loves to play in the snow.

Hate and Love

I HATE
pretty much everything. Especially the snow. And the boss they won't
get rid of. And the work he doesn't do. And the work he is too stupid
to do. And the snow. And the employees that have a combined IQ of 60.
And the fact that they are calling for 16 inches of snow and they make
us drive around a Cobalt with a million things falling off of it. And
the fact that I can't seem to get a job away from this hell hole. And
that I have no health insurance. And that most of my friends suck at
being friends. And that I'm too nice. And that I'm allergic to
cinnamon.

I LOVE
Basco. Jase. Unconditional love and snuggles from Basco and Jase.

It's Been Awhile

Wow....its been a long time since I posted about my life on here. I
guess that calls for a little rewind to catch ya'll up
.
.

...Okay, now that you're all caught up I feel better.

Random thought:

My knee is so jacked up I'm pretty sure softball is out this year but
I'll unfortunately still try to play.

I fucking hate winter, snow,, cold, ice, and anything remotely related
to this time of year.

That said...I want to learn to snowboard. Who thinks my knee will last
through that?

I'm tired as fuck right now. Only 3 more hours of work to go so I can
go home and come back 8 hours later.

I hate having ESP...its creepy.

Yea! Schmidt isn't a ref for the rest of the year....no wonder Denver
got creamed by the Mavs, they don't have a 7th man on the ice anymore.
I'm still on shock after learning the dude is a popo. I'm glad its not
in WI. I wouldn't feel safe (and he would have already been found in a
back alley if he was a popo in WI)

Anybody know where I can find a better job?

WCHA REFS ARE TERRIBLE

No big surprise but check out My Badger/Brewer Blog for the info.

F.......ING........SNOW

Seriously now. Every freaking time I have to drive the car around for
work it snows like a mofo or its icy or somehow shitty. And you know
what kind of car we have.....a freaking Colbalt. You can't drive over
any amount of snow in a Cobalt. And I'm sick of getting stuck
everywhere because we drive a tiny ass car.

New Years Resolution

Get a better job so I'm not so overly stressed and tired that I can't
post as often as I want. Or Santa can give me a new job. Quite
honestly I'll take ANY job.....anybody with an offer?

F.........ING............SNOW

I flippin' hate winter. And thats all I gotta say about that.

Hey LGM.....wanna learn the art of the shovel?

Weekend In Mankato

I typed this long ass mofo from my phone so I don't wanna hear about
shitty spelling and grammatical errors.

I made the all but wise trip in the winter to see everybodys favorite
bloggers, LGM and WT. I should have known better when I woke up at
the asscrack of dawn on a Friday to drive 5 hours that I was in for
it.

Just Kidding. The trip was good. I had to shovel on Friday before I
left (Something LGM would be confused about) and of course upon
returning, there was more snow.

Friday we rolled into the Kato Holiday Inn about 4 and I called up the
all favorite LGM. We met at Blue Bricks. I of course was punctual and
even had to go back to the hotel because my brilliant tagalong forgot
her ID. We still beat LGM and WT there though. So I text LGM and she
tells me to get a table for 7. (I think she paid some of these people
because I don't know anybody that has 7 friends). Needless to say I
met LGM and ALL of her friends. Then again she met all of mine and I
only took 1 with me. Anyways, I got a salad (I was on a health kick
this weekend) and it was good but then again, can you really muff up a
salad?

We ventured over to the game and I watched WI regress to playing
something similar to the little tykes that play at intermission at the
Kohl. It was terrible and I thought the refs were terrible but not
nearly as bad as the SCSU refs. The best thing about the game was the
pretzel I had and it was just OK....a little dry.

After the game we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and I had my Dirty Girl
Scout. Tastes like my favorite cookie in the whole wide world. Mmmmm.
And I had a Blue UV and Leomonade.....oh wait scratch that, BWW
doesn't carry blue UV so in LGM words I ordered an old gramma drink.
An Armaretto Sour. So about 2315, we left and they went to Blue Bricks
(I think) and we punked out and went back to the hotel because unlike
LGM, we had gotten up at the asscrack of dawn to shovel snow and
drive. Upon trying to explain this to LGM, we decided upon just saying
"We are punkinh out on you" because she was a little too drunk to
understand the words that were coming out of our mouths.

So Saturday I was lazy and only got up to play pool and video games at
the hotel arcade. Then at 5 we met LGM and WT (and company) at Chevys.
Again I had salad and I didn't think it was that great and it tasted
kinda funny. Blue Bricks was better.

So my tagalongs cousin came to the game with us because she only lives
like an hour away and we had never met her bf so perfect opportunity.
Anyways the refs sucked again even though it was to our advantage. If
the Badgers knew how to score on a power play it'd be nice. Anyways,
the game ended in a tie. Jamie McBains mommy sat right behind me and
when he scored his goal on Sat night I thought she was going to fly
through the roof she was so excited. Granted I was pretty excited too
because he was in a little slump so maybe that brought him out of it.

After the game we went to Sidelines where LGM got photo proof that I
exist and she isn't making me up. (we all should have gotten into the
sleigh for a picture). Then we went to Blue Bricks and after that to
The Wine Cafe. The salad from Chevys made me feel like poop and I had
a headache since the second period of the game but I was bound and
determined to show LGM and WT that I wasn't gonna punk out again.
Thought I was gonna yak at the wine cafe but I made it back to the
hotel and felt much better afterwards. (And no kids it wasn't the
alcohol because I only had 3 freekin'drinks)

Sunday we got up ate breakfast and drove back to good ole WI where
they know how to shovel and plow. I seriously don't think I saw a
plowed road or driveway in the entire state of MN. And their fans were
kinda rude and would not sit the fuck down. I don't mind the standing
after a goal but shit. There is really no bad seat at the rink though
when people sit because its so small.

I just wanna say thanks to LGM and WT for hangin' with us losers this
weekend. And a special thanks to WT's Mommy for letting WT miss your
birthday to meet me (I was SO worth it, I swear.)

Weekend Recap

Click HERE for the weekend recap.

I have better things to do but........

Once upon a time ago I actually updated a sidebar on my blog with a note of what game I was playing, what recent movies I've watched, and what book I was reading. So I decided to make a list of my favorite tv shows, favorite movies, and some of the books I've read lately trying to keep myself from going crazy at my job that is fucking retarded right now (and why I like the tv/movie). We aren't going into how much I want to go ape shit on everybody at work though. Movies and Books=happy time, right?

For fun I also added some tv shows and movies that some of my friends like that I can't believe anybody watches!!

Interesting fact: I never watched tv until I lived with my best friend for 2 years. Now I am addicted to tv and own more than 1 TiVo because I watch too many shows. This gives evidence that friends are bad which I why I only choose to have a select few.

TV Shows:
CSI: NY
I like murder mysteries which is what CSI always is. It's usually not too much of a mystery for me though.

CSI (Las Vegas)
See above for reasoning....plus I like Sarah even though she's now gone (as of last weeks show) :(

American Idol
I have no idea why I like it but I think that it has something to do with the fact that I can't sing for shit. Also because I watch the tryout part which is funny and then once I see who makes it I always end up wanting to see who wins. Is all I have to say is, thank god for TiVo so I don't have to watch all the stupid stuff in between the singing. Never would have started watching this show if I didn't have a best friend. (or any other reality tv show for that matter)

House
I love Omar Epps but I also liked it better last year when all 3 were understudies. I probably like medical mysteries as much as murder mysteries.

Prison Break
Wentworth...shitty name but fucking hot.

Big Bang Theory
I think show appeals to my inner geek. I identify with the show WAY too much. It's kinda creepy.

How I Met Your Mother
I didn't think I'd stick through the show past last year, but I can't help to wonder the outcome of who Ted actually marries. The show will probably end without anybody finding out and I will be pissed.

Desperate Housewives
The show could do without Edie for sure, but I think I stick to the show because of Lynette and Bree moreso than anything else. Probably wouldn't have started watching this show if I didn't have a best friend.

Private Practice
Who wouldn't want to watch a show with Taye Diggs are you kidding me?

Grey's Anatomy
Probably wouldn't have started watching this show if I didn't have a best friend. I'm kind of stuck on it now though because I have to know if Derek and Grey end up together and blah blah blah. For reference, I don't think McSteamy is very hot.

Women's Murder Club
I love Angie Harmon to begin with but beyond that I love James Patterson books which is what this show is based off of. It's like a CSI/law and order type show with women calling the shots so it's much better of course.

Real World/Road Rules Challenge
I use to watch RW but never watched RR. I think I like the challenge though because it's like any other competion type reality show. And until I don't know the dude from RW anymore it will be good. (This season is the first RW I haven't seen in awhile). Again brought on by having a best friend.

Carpoolers
I have a think for Jerry Oconnell. I use to watch My Secret Identity as a kid (though nobody I know has ever heard of it) and between that and Stand By Me I've always liked him. The show is pretty funny but I think will probably get lame pretty soon. I've only seem 2 or 3 episodes so far.

Shows I can't believe my friends watch:
Dancing with the Stars
Ghost Hunters/TAPS or any of those "haunted" shows
Days of Our Lives
Passions
Any other daytime tv crap like that
Beauty and the Geek
Bachelor
Xfiles





Movies:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I love Angelina Jolie. If I was Brad Pitt I would have done the same thing. Granted there wasn't much of a choice for her taking a step up when your last marriage was to Billy Bob Thornton.

The Rock
I will watch any movie about Alcatraz. I will also watch every movie with Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage in it.

Any James Bond movie
Sean Connery was the best bond. One thing I don't like about any of them is that they are all hairy and I don't like the hairy thing much. I like Bond so much that I hate Austin Powers because it mocks my Bond.

Lord of the Rings
I hate Elijah Wood. ALOT. I actually didn't watch these for a long time because I hate him so much but after watching them, they rock. Provided you have no life for the 3 hours each of them take.

Star Wars
I don't even know what I love them, but I do. My favorite character is Jar Jar Binks. My friends dog moans and sounds like chewbacca somtimes. Thats interesting.

Back to the Future
Michael J. Fox is just awesome. I don't think there was a movie with him I didn't like. Everybody in those movies did a great job of acting.

The Usual Suspects
If you haven't seen this movie you should. Some people think it's boring but once the end hits it's crazy. Good good movie. See it.



Movies I can't believe some of my friends like:
The Wedding Singer
Harry Potter
American Pie (all of them)
Nacho Libre
Napoleon Dynamite






Books:
Any James Patterson book will do, but I've recently read Double Cross and I'm really excited for another one to come out (in Feb. just in time for my birthday).

I also read Karin Slaughter who writes similar to Patterson. If you like murder mysteries I suggest you try out both of these authors.
PS....if you're going to read Karin Slaughter make sure you aren't visiting around Atlanta at the time because reading a murder mystery about a city you're currently visiting is a little creepy.

Just Practicing

Just checking to see if this new thingy works so I can actually blog
from work.....

Wow does blogger suck

I finally find a way to blog from my phone but forbids me to set up the blogging via my phone. I couldn't be any more of a dork right now could I?

In other news around my life....my boss is a fucking moron. The General Manager of the Madison office got fired and now the acting GM wants to have a meeting with us supervisors to discuss the site manager where I am. The good news is the old GM was the bastard that fucked me out of the job I should have gotten.....the bad news is I liked him better than the the acting GM. I can't win....but at least I might have a different job in a few weeks. That'd be nice. $43,000 a year with fabulous health insurance......I only prey for that. Oh how I need health insurance.....

Badgers Split with Tech

Friday Night
Michigan Tech 4
Badgers 2

Saturday Night
Michigan Tech 2
Badgers 4

The games were closer than the score indicates. For the recap visit:
HOCKEY RECAP

Badgers Off Week

The Badgers were off this week so I was bored. Well not really. I moved some couches and played a shit ton of video games. Plus Guitar Hero 3 came out today so I played that a lot today. The Rockies are not doing too hot in the World Series so thats depressing. Other than that I've spent my weekend doing nothing. I have notta thing interesting to say really...go figure. Badgers start their WCHA play with Michigan Tech next Friday. Go Badgers!!

Why Do Dogs Have a Voicebox?

3. To let you know they need to go outside.
Why in the everyloving fuck doesn't my dog use it for that then? He just uses his 1 inch in diameter paw to stratch on the door which is all the way across the house and only does so when the TV is up, Video Games are being played, or I am sleeping therefore causing me to not hear the sound that is no more loud than a pin falling.

2. To alert you of potential harm.
Seriously now, the people walking down the road, the other dogs in the neighborhood that are doing their business in their own lawn, and the kids jumping on the trampoline next door are not immediate threats so shut the fuck up dog. Of course when you barked at the dumbass neighbor who put the trampoline up at 2AM, now that was a little strange...good job.

1. BECAUSE DOGS LIKE TO ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU WHEN YOU SLEEP.
Oh my mother fucking god. I swear to god that if the dog whines or barks one more time when I am attempting to sleep, I will kill him. Okay I won't because it's not my dog that does it, but fuck.

I love my dogs because when there are only my two dogs, they are great. Jase sleeps like 20 hours a day and the only problem I have with him is that he likes to eat things that are plastic (combs, xbox controllers, birth control cases) when I leave him alone. Not the best dog, but hey it could be worse. If you have ever seen the animated Tarzan movie, Jase is like the elephant where you touches the water with his toe and says, "Are you sure this waters sanitary?" If it's muddy he will stand at the door and pee out it because he doesn't like getting wet or dirty. Granted if Bailey is over and he goes and plays in the mud then Jase thinks that if he doesn't do it that Bailey will make fun of him. Then Bailey bodyslams Jase into the mud and he comes running in and sits next to or on top of me as if to say, "Ewww...get it off get it off." Anyways, he's a decent dog.

Basco will bark on occasion but usually only if the doorbell rings, somebody knocks, there are kids poking sticks at him through the fence, or my buddy Jonah is over. He doesn't like Jonah much. He doesn't like men, facial hair, or hats really, but he gets use to them after awhile. Jonah has been coming over for at least 3 years every Friday and/or Saturday to play video games and Basco barks the ENTIRE time Jonah is over. Anyways, other than Jonah, Basco doesn't really bark unless he should. BUT if Ty is over it's another story because Basco thinks that if Ty barks, he must see something so he'd better join in even though he has no clue what he's doing. Ty will bark at EVERYTHING. You breathe wrong, he barks. The dog barks at the wind. I just want to sleep for fucks sake dog.

Anyways, moral of the story is that having friends with dogs is cool, but it's like watching other peoples kids....sending the home is the BEST part. It makes you love your own even more.

Slacker

I'm a slacker I know. I've been doing shit and have had a bunch of interviews for new jobs and have been having a hell of a time at work because I am required to do 4 times as much as anybody else. Also I keep getting jipped on my paycheck which makes it feel so worthwhile to go to work, right? Anyways onto the non conference badger hockey talk....

This weekend was a great weekend for the Badgers, but you know, it wasn't like they played a good team. Friday night the penalties were killer. You're bound to let the other team score when you give them at least 5 chances to have a 5-3. I don't really know what to say about the games either night because as I say, the competition was terrible. How bad was it? Well it was so bad that they could barely skate down the ice with the puck on their stick. It was like watching the Mighty Mights between periods. Okay not that bad, but it was pretty bad. Saturday night the freshman recruit got the start and he did pretty good for a freshman. Kyle Turris is a very good player and I think with Davies and Street out there with him that the line is pretty solid and will do some damage this year. Also there doesn't seem to be much drop off in the lines and that should help. We'll see in 2 weeks when they open the WCHA play against Michigan Tech at the Kohl Center.

PS....I will update a shit ton more now that it's hockey season.

Heather

I have a neice, Heather. She's 12. I'm not sure I was as retarded as she is when I was 12. I was quiet and smart. She is the total opposite. The only thing we really have in common is that we like geeky things like video games and electronic gadgets. Anyways.....we are in the car going to get the disk for "The Sims: Open for Business" because they sold me the display case!! and Heather was spouting about some kid in her class that said this and then somebody says that and blah blah blah blah and then says, " I was like O-M-G that was so dumb" You know those commercials when the kids and gramma speak in text? Thats what it sounded like for a minute. People actually speak like that?!? That is just wrong. When did life turn into this place where you speak in text and IM language. I mean gees, I text and IM quite a bit but I don't think I've ever spoke in anything that came close to 'shorthand' in verbal form. Seriously, do people really talk like this or is it just 12 year old girls? If the work "like" comes out of her mouth before every sentence the next time I see her like I did last weekend, I might go crazy!
