What would you do?

No...not for a klondike bar. The following is a list of monetary amounts and explanations of what I would do with said monetary amounts.

$1000 - Buy a new computer. Right now, WoW is running rather sluggishly on the laptop that I am using for it. I can't use the home machine, because well, that is where my wife likes to play. I have to give justifications as to why I'm on that machine if I ever sit down in the chair there.

$10,000 - Not sure on this. I would love to put a down payment on a house and this might be enough for us. With my wife possibly changing jobs and me with 2 jobs (1 questionable) I don't know if now is the right time to be doing it, but damn if I hate having to deal with taking the dogs out on a leash and not having a backyard, etc.

$100,000 - I would look at opening my own business. I have always had an entrepreneur's heart, but I have never been able to reliably act on it. I'm lucky that I was able to marry early in life and bring stability to it, but that itch has always been there. I have worked for other entrepreneurs and have seen what they have done (both good and bad) and I would love to take a crack at it. Maybe not even be the sole guy, maybe a partnership. I've just always had to worry about drawing a salary rather than taking a huge chance like this.

$1,000,000 - Whatever the wife tells me too.


Yea I know I kinda copped out on that last answer, but that's how I truly feel.

So...I found the other guy

I was chatting it up a co-worker of mine and he is hip to the top 100 movie list. At first he was like "100 movies, I can't even think of 100 movies" and now he's at like 205. However, the point of this post was that he, like I, has Hudson Hawk in the top 100....so there!!!

And I lent him my TMNT and TMNT II, and he lent me the Special Edition 2-disk DVD set of Big Trouble in Little China.

He's probably going to have a fair number of anime movies on his list.

Don't hold back

Tell Me what You REALLY think

Lesson Learned

Just because the outdoor pool is heated, doesn't mean it's a good idea to swim at 6am when it's still like 40 degrees outside.

Hypothermia FTW!!!

What happens in .. uhh.. Laughlin

stays in Laughlin?

So it's like a Diet Vegas, just 1 calorie, not quite Vegas enough.

I'm typing this on the saturday night because I spent my alloted money for gambling...but craps never ever felt so good. I love playing craps. They just weren't kind to me.

I love this game

Not only is he not going home...he's got immunity for the next tribal council AND he gets to replace the person voted out. All he has to do is spend three days on exile island. That's right, playground picking of teams..you get the big finger!!!

9 days

For those of you in the know, you know what happens in 9 days. Especially Tom Lischke, this is his reminder about what happens in 9 days. Trevor should know too.

Bleh

That was not a push off

The ball did not cross the goal line

That was not a block below the knees (just like it wasn't on ben on the next drive)

That wasn't a holding penalty when they were on the one.

I was more unimpressed with the officials than I was with the play of the Steelers.


And outside of the 2nd careerbuilder commercial and one of Michelob commercials, those were lackluster as well. And don't even get me started on the Geriatric Halftime show. A friend of mine put it plainly, "maybe they should rename it the WWE instead of the NFL."

So my friend got Twiddled...

Remember the friend I was telling you about that got the blue mana symbol on his arm as a tattoo? Yea well, he was in the hospital today. He has an issue with a medical condition where he may pass out (only it's not really passing out),regardless, he's been ok for awhile now but had an episode today at home. His roomates called the ambulance and he ended up in the emergency room. He's ok now and should be home in an hour or so.

Needless to say, someone spent that 1 blue and he got tapped out.
