Drunk Flying!!!

You have GOT to see this stunt. I got this in an e-mail.

Hump Day

It has been a helluva Hump Day today. We relocated all of our offices and equipment this past weekend to a new place. It only took one day to pack up and move but it took most of 2 to unpack. I am beat. While I am short on time today, I couldn't go without this one Hump

Hump the guy that thought he was cool. When the year 1969 was mentioned in a conversation at work, I mumbled "Good year!" while hoping to break up all the tension everyone has been under because of the chaos and all our technical difficulties. Instead, I hear "I like 77 cause I get eight(ate) more!!!"

First off, with all that facial hair and deep voice I was assuming that you were male. Trying to be funny in the midst of all the craziness was an epic fail for me, but Bubba got plenty of laughs.

I hope I spelled everything OK. I'm sleepy.

Hump Day

Hump Day.

1) Hump Google for having the balls to boot China because of their strict internet censorship policy. It hasn’t happened yet but I admire them for making a stand.

2) Hump that Cameron guy for making Avatar in 3D. I got a $20 movie ticket for Christmas and couldn’t wait to run out and see it. It was phenomenal! A whole world of new plants, animals, and terrain like floating animals.

3) Hump anyone who has a Parrot AR Drone. I envy you. That thing is the coolest thing I think I’ve ever seen. I anything RC that flies.

4) I already gave Google a good hump in #1 but now I have to give them a bad one. Why, Google, have you not come out with a blogger app in iTunes? GRRrrr It would be nice to be able to go to my dashboard without having to use the tiny browser. (If there is one and I missed it, please let me know!

5) Hump everyone that believes in the FEMA concentration camp theory. Geez. I’ve been arguing all morning with a guy here at work. I you know me at all, you can trust that I have looked into it and it’s a hoax. I’m not even going to post a link to anything related to it because it’s just something to get people scared. A bunch of the satellite photos claimed to be here are actually from North Korea forced labor camps, the photo of mass coffins are from a coffin manufacturing site in Georgia, and the lady that made this story up was kick out of her own group for being too extreme.

In other news, American Idol had some hilarious moments. One of my favorite being the Fabio/Hippie guy that was in touch with nature while flutes played in the background. He went to blow a flower out of his hand and it was an epic fail. Then there was the "Hollaaaa" guy. LOL. I can't wait till tonight when they go to the ATL and get some of the dirty mouth south. A lot of people in the south think they are IT and get pissed when people teel them that there not as special and grandma says they are. I should know because I work with several. (see #5 above)

Cold

It's been below freezing temps here and people don't know how to act. The Schools have shut down for days, not because of snow. It was just cold so they cancelled school. The trash people have a clause in their contract that says they don't have to go to work but still get paid for a half day if its below 15 degrees or something so the metro area is flooded with overflowing garbage. The roads are perfectly fine except for the fact that it's cold for us that are used to it always being only mildy cold. I talked to my boss in Chicago today and he was laughing because i told him I had gloves on. It's 30 and sunny here and 27 and windy there. Does he not wear gloves when he goes outside? HMMmmm?

I've enjoyed the cold weather this year. I dunno why but I'm usually the kind of person that like the wood burning fireplace. (wish we had one now) Crystal's sister came to visit on New Years and complained constantly about how cold it was in the house. The electric and gas bills are pleasant compared to last year. We had a $320 gas bill when we moved in. It's colder now than it was back then and our bill is about a third of that. We kinda have to make the cut anyway till Crystal gets her business off the ground.

Anyhow, I am feeling kinda spunky today and can't wait for the American Idol tryouts tonight. I hope they have more FUBARs than actual talent on. The panther audition is one of my all time favorites. I can't wait!!!

If you watch the video, don't click out of it until after you hear what Randy has to say. Simon and Paula are the same but I've never seen Randy so bug eyed! Priceless!

The First Hump Day this Year

Man I tell ya... This year has been a bitch already. I brought in the new year sick as a hell, then my boss was angry I guess and told me I had to take one of the days without pay instead of letting me use a vacation day. That's 2 short weeks back to back. GRrrrr. Then Crystal and I were at each other and yesterday my transmission messed up in my truck. So... this hump day are humps for the whole year. Also, I made a resolution. This year I'm going to lose 30 pounds. You wait and see...

I have to say that there is an angel looking out for us though. We wouldn't have made it through December or even the first few weeks of January without our angel.

The hump list!

1) Hump being sick.

2) Hump arguing. Let's play nice and be respectful.

3) Hump vehicles messing up.

4) Hump unhealthy lifestyles.

5) Hump worrying about bills.

These last all year. You can make 'em part of your resolutions if you wish. I'm going to shoot for all year with these. If I make it through the end of February, I'll be surprised.

Happy *cough* New Year!!!

I hope everyone is having a better year than I am. GRRRrrr. It's been a bitch so far. You guys have any resolutions this year?
