Fairytale........................

   Tell me a tale of lore and of a time when things had been easier.  When birds would sing and the sun would shone on all of the world.  So we read fairy tales and stories of the days of a simpler time.

     A time when you could go outside and play with your friends and not worry about getting snatched by some pervert.  A time that you could punish a kid with out a law suite.  A time that kids respected adults and the parents.  A time kids did not have kids, and I think...this is my opinion..that it is one of the problems we have today.  Not all parents had a chance to be kids and not all kids should be parents.

Just Saying.........

 I was able to celebrate two very special birthday's this past weekend. Jackie and Jessie are very special people to me. 

I told you they are special........

Any WHoooooooooooo..............................

I had forgot my wallet, and my wife had to say "How convenient"..but I have no money anyway due to a spend it on stuff like...........

  The Lingerie football team.......

                 or

              

                                                                       Candy

                                                     (Could be a Candy on the team..hmm)

                                                                                                   



     A Monster Truck

                                                    Maybe even Army Men..thats cool

                                                                                                                    

So I had to sing for my meal......

 

                                                   So I sang them the menu..

                                                     They paid me to stop. 

What's the deal, I should try out for American Idol...ok maybe not.

    I am pretty sure I gained a few pounds this weekend, I tried to eat smart, but some good food was just calling and so I enjoyed it.  I am back at it again and lets see what I can do in the next week or so.



Rant of the day

 I am getting to the point when I really don't care what people think of me.  I am not around to be everyone's friend.  Do I really care if a cheerleading squad say's hello to me or good morning. No...But I am a person who is ready to go when I get to work.  I pretty much say good morning to everyone as I pass them in the hall or have to deal with them on the phone. A little kindness goes a long way. To bad the world is going to shit and people are ass-munch's...heck I work with a few that need to just go away and go live in a cave and leave the rest of the world alone.  We really would  like to fill your spot in the world with a person not a dip shit.

Fridays wheel of ..........

Friday is here and it is my day to eat at the local Itchibons.  I found that I enjoy the Friday meal and many of the things on the menu.  I tend to lean towards the following.

Avocado Roll
Avocado and Cucumber Roll
Avocado and Asparagus Roll

  

One of the people I go with always gets the Dragon Roll...its pretty good also... I don't like the heavy fish taste in most of the sushi so the veggie ones are good. 

Along with that you get a ginger dressing salad and miso soup...fills the fat guy up so that's a good thing.

   So I was thinking today how I was going to injure myself next.  Better known as Jeff is going to do some home improvement.  I think I am going to tear down the train shelving ( I had a huge layout set up in a spare room for my HO trains...as in many of my hobbies I tend to get bored with them and move on to something else..which I intern lose interest in and move on...well you get the drift.

          I tend to over do when I rip things apart so I am sure I will need the 911 staff ready for me.

    So the shelf must come down so I can move more crap out of this room and make this room for my wife.  Girls need rooms to have stuff in , we have our man caves

No not Caveman......

Man cave..................

..they need a spot also...Lets call it Ladies Lounges....

My wife will have just about what I have in my room as she is a huge sports fan...more then I am in baseball and basketbal

                                                          (Hey JC work out to this one.)

I take her out on football and hockey and golf....but all in all it makes a better household if you have a couple who enjoy some of the same thing...( FYI - we both like wine also..and games so I have a few stories to tell you on that at another time )

    So any WHoooooooooooo....I am going to get that done and repaint the entire room to her specifications.  We are going to put in a couple nice chairs and lamps and a T.V. and I plan on getting her set up with her spot to do her hair and it will be a nice little place for her to get away from me.

       when I am ..well being me..people who know me can understand that..I am a gamer..and I will yell and shout and stomp around like a raging bulls sometimes..then take a nap and everything is fine...so she needs he spot...

   

Winter is the time I have a problem with...I love the Fall as football is around but Winter..get the hell out..It sucks...I want to move south so I can golf year round..I will not improve in my golf game even if I could because then I would have nothing to bitch about. I have come to the conclusion I pretty much suck..but I am having a blast...Living the dream as they say...

  I think someone just went past me with chocolate cake...so long diet......ok maybe I will just lick the frosting on this persons..then we both will save calories...8)

The Myan Callender is going to kill us all of as it ends this year...who thinks this is going to happen.....

  You know what, The Myan's died off for some reason, maybe because they spent to much time worrying about the freaking Callander and not building a fort to protect themselves from something that killed them off.   I have been waiting for years for this to happen, Just think I can run my bills up and then have the government bail me out and blame it on the Myan's and the media...sweet.

    Rant for the day,

       If you are going to send me an email about something please get to the point.  I don't care if your dog has fleas, your cat has a mustache, if you found a picture of a cute animal doing something.  I don't need to forward anything on to show I am an American, I don't really care if Abdul needs money to purchase a ticket to get home and I sure the hell don't think we need to stop global warming as I will be long dead before it even effects me.  So I would love for the spam filter to work on the emails I use....

    Also, I think if someone steals the identity of anyone and gets caught, which they will that they should be sent to the person whos Identity they had stolen and that person  should be able to punish them how he and or she wants.

Its all in the game

  So today pretty much is not a good day. I have had a stomached issue where it feels like a porky pine has crawled up inside of me and something scared it. I have not had any luck in fixing anything at work.  I think that the saying is, got good days with bad days. I had a good day yesterday so  today I am paying for it......I think I need to just really.. piss in fates soup and eat a bean burrito and ham and bean soup for lunch and teach that porky bine a thing or two.

  So my rant for the day is about furry little animals.  Yes Jeff has a problem with animals that can not stay the hell out of his way.  I went to lunch late as I was dealing with an issue for a client.
On the way a small furry animal (not sure what the hell it was) darted out in front of me on the road.
I swerved and juked and missed him and it pretty much pissed me off. 

     I went to lunch had Pizza and the first Pepsi I have had in 3 months and walked around the local mall and made fun of the people who live at the place....ok that's just mean and after I was done made my way back to work....
    Guess what around the same location it happened again, a little furry something came roaring across the road...this time I was ready I floored it...I was not going to let him piss me off again..I missed him and noticed it scurry in the woods next to the road.....I could have sworn he flipped me off.

  Just another day I guess.....

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning  is out for multiple platforms and I am happy to have been reminded of this from a couple co-workers as the game has many people involved with it that will make it a ton of fun.  Bonny ( My Lovely wife )knowing how much of a dip-wad I am she would have got it for me for Valentines day but I would have went out and got it before she had a chance, got it for me early. 

R. A. Salvatore is the creator of the immortal Drizzt Do Urden and author of The New York Times best-selling Forgotten Realms series. He is also my all time favorite Author. He is part of the development team who put this game out.

 

Todd McFarlane is a Grammy and Emmy-award winning artist, writer and toy designer best known for creating the fantasy series Spawn. One of my favorite comic book series...along with the evil batman series....( He didn't do the Evil Batman series, He did the spawn series..but any whoooooo)  HE is also part of the team that put this out.

Ken Rolston served as the lead designer of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion before joining Big Huge Games development studio, the Baltimore, MD-based wholly-owned subsidiary of 38 Studios, based in Providence, RI. - I want this guys job...great game designer.

Reckoning takes place in Amalur, a fantasy world imagined by R. A. Salvatore and brought to life by Todd McFarlane, Ken Rolston, and the team at Big Huge Games. Reckoning will bear the hallmarks of each of these visionaries, melding an epic, master-crafted storyline, rich graphics and heart-stopping animations, and compelling open-world exploration.

     To say the least I love the game....and it is going to burn up some off my free time for sure.


       

Frost...Natures Middle Finger

   

 You know someday's just start out wrong.  Today was not that kind of day.  I am celebrating a Jeff day today...not the Jeff day where I take the time off just to screw off....But the kind of day where I wake up on my own...no alarm...no headache from the pillow falling down the crack in the bed, no huge grow lights blinding me at 4:30am, just a good day. It is the type of day that you wake up and its a decent time of the morning, the light is seeping around the curtains to give the room a subtle glow...Yes I had a good start to the day...I really like that.
  

 I can deal with snow as you can move it and get it out of your way. Easy to clean off your car...yeah its  pain in the ass, but its part of living in the North East.  Rain, yeah you get wet, just stay under cover and you are fine.  But frost, it really pisses me off.  It is just cold and sticks to everything...and no matter how long you have the defroster on you still only have a little hole to look out and drive.  I even get out and scrape...The frost will just laugh then become a fog like thing that you just have to deal with until it goes away from the defroster. The mirrors that are now off center from scrapping them and I have to realign it...yes...Frost is natures middle finger.

    We had our weight in on Tuesday and I was sure I had gained, but to my surprise I had lost 2 1/2 pounds. Well I guess that was from having the stomach bug last week.  Hey I will take a stomach bug every week if that helps me trim down.  No really, I think it is watching the quantity of what I eat more then what I eat.

  

So I was asked by a friend ( yes , I have "A" friend ) what really bothers me the other day.  I replied "Everything", Not sure that's what they wanted to here, but hey you asked.  Well I guess I should have been more specific...what really bothers me is the Windows key on a keyboard...ok we get it..its Windows...but really worthless piece of crap.  Now all the Mac users will say " that's why you should use a Mac", yeah ok...90% of the world is windows based...so you can take your 10% and have fun just like Beta Max did 8)...No really MAC's rock for many things and I would love to own one..but I am stuck in my ways and at some point when I get to the point have expendable income I may just get one.

Time To Rant....

   At a restaurant the other day about two booths down this person had a cell phone.  It went off with the most annoying ring tone I had ever heard.  Of course the person had to look at the phone announce that it was Ray and let it ring another few times then scream into the phone.

  So I know Ray now was going to come over to this guys house to visit, the time and what kind of beer he was going to bring.  Well the phone went off again, same process everyone in the place was told Ray is calling again, and we found out Jim and Tina had wanted to know how his dog is...well his dogs fine just in case the rest of the place wanted to know..he just had a case of the worms.  

   Once again about ten minutes later the phone rings...you guessed it It was Ray..I couldn't resist and asked the guy with the cell phone...Hey if that's Ray tell him that he should bring something for the dog like a bone and some worm medicine and everyone in the place thinks Ray should bring bud light so we all can have one.  The guy looked at me like I had a third head.....

His friend across from the seat from him had to explain that it was getting a little ridicules and the guy got up and went outside to talk to Ray....He never came back.  The Waitress thanked me and I got my lunch for free......Wow

A day in the life of a Migraine

 Hello followers, well ok I don't think I have many followers but I enjoy doing this and it helps me in my writing world.  I have been much more active with writing since I started this blogg. Thanks go out to Steph Deal and Jason Countryman and I will add Mike Bruton to that list as I did read his blogg many times.  I also want to thank Matt Nord and Stacey Gilfus for the encouragement to continue writing.

                                                   Ok so enough of that crap and on we go.

  

  I have to say that the best thing in the world is waking up to coffee.  I have a Keurig Coffee maker that I got for Christmas....man it rocks.  Not everyone likes coffee but for the folks who do it makes a heck of a difference when you can get up and have a very good cup of coffee in the morning.  Lots to choose from and It helps me get started on the day.

 
   

So I had a migraine all day yesterday.  I have had them for years and when they hit they hit hard. I struggled to make it through the day but made it with shear will. When I got home no matter what I did it just got more intense.  I didn't even get on my computer, anyone who knows me would understand that I like to be online one way or another all the time...The interweb be fun...OK any Whoooooo

     I dropped the nice Panko Battered Center cut porkchops we got from Wegmans in the oven and 40 Minutes later the wife and I had a great meal.  I finished it off with a Skinny Cow Fudge bar ( They are freaking awesome and only 100 Calories..freaking huge also ) and I felt a bit better. 

OOOO..... so Skinny

                                                                                                           OOOOO..SO Yummy


Still this dang headache it was nagging me so I decided to give up went to bed.

 I decided that I was going to keep Bonny up all night with my tossing and turning and bitching and sighing...and she would keep me up with the snoring and the smacking in the head for being a little bitch. so I slept in one of the spare bedrooms.  I called it my somewhat man cave as it is my writing room and has a couple PC's in it and all my books and gadgets.

   I fell asleep around 8:15-8:30 and slept all the way until 4:30am.  For me that is a very long time as I only get about 4 Hrs of sleep a night on most occasions.

So I was sleeping sound until........

Well let me preface a bit with this......

  I won an Aerogrow planter..grow anything indoors anytime. I always wanted one so I decided...Well I won one so why not have two..as more is always better. 

The device has 3 very large grow lights and when both of the machines kick on the entire room is lit up like a nuclear bomb went off.

 So you guessed it folks...4;30 am the lamps came on.  I flew out of bed..and being used to a California King Size bed and now in a single stuck in the corner of one of the spare rooms...I ended up on the floor eyes blinking tangled up in the covers swearing to all the gods in every religion.

   To say the least, it was not the way I wanted to wake up.  I yanked the power cables from the lamps and proceeded to go back to sleep....

                                           well that's not going to happen..so I started to read...

  I ended falling asleep at around 6:45 and had to be up to get ready at 7:15..so I am now sitting in my chair at work wondering....Do I really want the tomatoes plants to grow..or am I going to shit bag them just for spite when I get home.
