Too busy to even fart.....

But I have found my way back to one of my favorite places to play! Ok, lots to cover so lets go slowly:

• I have super high cholesterol so I am now on meds for it. One more mile stone crossed in the getting old process. Whats next, grey pubes?
• I made the Deans list at Kean University. I will not be able to qualify this semester because I am only taking 3 classes. You have to be a full time student to make the Deans list.
• The great snow storm of 2010 has come and gone, no big deal. People around here just about lose their minds every time it snows!
• I order my Masonic ring.....I cannt wait to have it on!
• We have finally got our apartment in order, well we still need to put away some cloths but for the most part it finally done!
• I put in to take the civil-service test for Elizabeth Fire Department. I tried for the police, but no go there so why not the next uber manly job?
• And lastly, I was asked to coach my sons baseball team this year. I am nervous and excited, I have no idea how to coach 7 year olds! We have a meeting tomorrow night and I will get some more information on what is going on.
  
  So in a nut shell that has been the goings on in my life. There were a few more things that I did not put up there, like: Drinking a whole bottle of Wild Turkey whiskey and getting freaked out by the move Coraline. Then having my wife laughing at me as I tried to crawl away from the lap top Devon and Alan were watching it on. I thought I was crawling fast as hell but she later informed me that I was going in slow motion, from on side of the apartment to the other. Then to crash on the floor in the living room. I just thought that need a bit more than just some bullet point mentioning lol.
  
  But it is now time to do my usual and post some pictures and get back to work, I have a test in finance this weekend and I am no where near ready!
  
  1) I went out and broke my back making the kids an igloo, that later turned into a tunnel. They had a blast and that is all that matters....I now need a small Asian woman with pretty feet to walk on my back....
  
  
  2) More fun in the snow. This was the first time the little ones have been sledding. And probably not the last time either.
  
  
  3) The front yard is so much better, since the dogs are gone.....no more land mines to worry about!
  
  
  4) Lucas has claimed this as his hat, and he wont eat without it!
  
  
  5) We went to Ikea on Sunday and bought Devon a loft bed. It is about 5'5 off the ground, which gives us the floor space to make it into a play room as well. So we finally have Devon's room done and the kids toys all in one room, keeping the chaos confined to one room has helped out in an awesome way!
  
  
  6) About 2 weeks ago I got to baby sit our neighbors little girl, Katarina. She was such a little doll. I am sure she is a menace at her house but with me it was all smiles and giggles.

  

If you dont like your picture taken stay at home.

I might be starting a flam war.....I hope so.....

In the end there will be white....

Since last week the weather people have been calling for snow. Southern NJ did get hammered but the northern parts saw little to nothing. But mother nature came back for round two today. It would seen we are in the grips of a snowy end lol. I am no fan of the snow, its cold, wet and makes people lose their minds! I saw a woman in my class just about flip out when she saw 2 snow flakes. Now this was a full grown woman, with what would seem like a good head on her shoulders. But snow really puts a zap on her! I wanted to get a picture of her but she was out the door in seconds. She went from calm night class mother of two, to a panicked nut job in just about 2 snow flakes! I guess the snow wasnt the only thing flaky out that night.....hahaha that was so funny! I crack myself up!

Sorry about that, i am the only one here in the building and the silence is strating to get to me lol. And with the snow still coming down I might get stuck here! Here is a picture I just took a few minutes ago:

And here is the picture that followed:

I was going to do a hand stand or moon the camera, but a few seconds after I took this I found out there were a few other retards in the building. These people where given the day off because of bad weather conditions, which is the truth of the matter, but they still came in. And these are the same people that will bitch when 2 snow flakes fall and they don't close.

After I almost caught acting like an ass I noticed how cool the flag looked with all the white in the back ground. I do not have a thuper dooper camera with all those artsy fartsy abilities so I was not able to do anything too fancy. I was going to try something on my flickr account but for some reason my work computer is blocking the picture editing software. Strange and stoopid!

All schools have been closed, the wife has off today so that worked out well but I was hoping to get out later tonight to go to the lodge. But they too have shut down due to weather.....no snow, sleet or rain has ever stopped me from anything. I guess only a few share my passion with challenging the elements to a show down.

Hope the rest of the world is warm and sunny. And for the record I love it when it snows, just because I love watching people loose their minds when they see it! It is just to good not to watch!

Another day on the grind.....

Just another day doing what I do best, being me and being retarded. I dont know but I seem to find some of the strangest things funny. And I have found a web site that has them on teeshirts.
Work and school are at there usual so i am coming here for some comic relief. Here are some of the shirts from
Bustedtees,
and if anyone with deep pockets wants to buy me one I wear a large......just putting that out there, lets see some love people!



There are tons of them but my favorite is the one that says:
'Jersey girls arent trash, Trash gets picked up'
Man I want that teeshirt haha. But in all not much has been going on, I am going to my man party this Friday for the spanking of the swollen ass. Here is a paradoy of the Masons, and no we dont paddle ass.....at least I dont think they do....i will find out Firday:
StoneCuters

Got to keep this one short, have tons of things to do before I leave in about 50 minutes!

That much closer to being a man....

I can now scratch off plugging my own tire to the list of things I have to do before becoming 'MANLY'. I have mastered the art of changing tires, jump starting a car battery and even changed my own oil. Yeah I am that cool.

Well anyway, for the past week i have been putting air in one of my back tires. It isnt dead yet, it still has some tread left so it wasnt ready to go. And I am not ready to shell out another $89 for a new tire! So I did what real men do, I went to Walmart (only because Target did not carry them) and bought a tire plugging kit. In the past my neighbor would do this for me, he has a garage full of tools and even a huge air compressor. So filling the tire was fast and easy. I have an air compressor as well but it is one of those plug in types that is loud as hell, but just as good. So with my new found manly juices flowing I head home to get my hands dirty, I was stoked.

I get the tire off with no problem, looked about until I found the whole that needed a plug and found it! But was not sure to what it was, it had a head like a screw but it did not have the star opening in the center like other screws I was used to seeing. And it was thicker than the last screw that was removed from my tire. But I was not hampered by this, I am man and I can get it out.

Well, after about 20 minutes and 3 different tools later I finally get it out! It turned out to be a damn drill bit! I had to pry it out with a fucking flat head screw driver! It was in the tire deep, and the moment I got it out all the air came whooshing out. I almost did a crazed man dance around the tire singing, " I got you I got you, you dirty little bastard, I got you Now what huh huh now what I got you!'

But I kept my manly composure and went to the next step, plugging the tire. Which only took about 5 minutes. I took the tire in the house, because my air compressor needs to be plugged in and where I was parked was way to far to try running a cord to. I put enough air in it to see if the plug was good and since it was I put the tire back on and drove down the street to the only gas station I know that has 'free air'. It is nice to see the word 'free' and it actually means free.

So in all it took me about 35 minutes and about $10 to save myself having to pay someone probably twice, or maybe even more, to fix my tire. And so far it has been 2 days since I did it and the air is still in the tire. And of course I had to take at least one picture of the beast that was causing me all this grief:



Now, next on the list of things I have to do before I can call myself a man: Do something with concrete......not sure what, just anything that requires me to have to go to Home Depot and buy a big heavy bag of concrete and rent a big manly, dirt encrusted mixer.

And now for something completely different:
I saw this the other day at Target and had to try it:


They are calling it 'throw back' as in they have gone back to the days of using sugar instead of that awesome nastiness we love to hate, high fructose corn syrup. And to be honest I did not like it. It did not have the over powering sweet kick that blows your taste buds right out of your mouth, we all know and love. I swear I did not taste anything Mountain Dew like, man do I want me some Code Red now.......Extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooo, ok I am back......but I was some what disappointed with it; but who could expect it to taste better than something that is 100 times sweeter than plane old sugar?

Also in other news I am back in school, I have class Tuesday ( two classes, starting at 6pm and ending at 10pm), Thursday and Saturday. I am only taking 3 classes this semester so lets see how it goes. The last semester I took 4 classes and it almost did me in! I am hoping that by taking one less it will keep the stress factor down a little. I will say that even with all of my bitching I did get awesome grades:
Math: B+
Computers: A-
Health: A
World Lit: A
The math had to have been the greatest miracle, I hate math with a passion and I am soo glad it is over with. I am now taking business management, history of art and a finance class this time around. I am just about done with all the completely useless classes so all that is left are the classes that pertain to my actual major. Each class I take and pass gets me that much closer to get the hell out of there.
