Updated the Links

I went ahead and did some housecleaning on some of the links to the right.

Anticipation then Disappointment

I like to read blogs. They allow me to to see into other peoples' lives. Most of the regular blogs that I read are people that I have met face to face. I don't fancy reading other peoples' blogs because they are famous for blogging and what not.

So here's the deal...

that means you are supposed to pay more attention to what I'm saying now.

When I go to certain peoples' blogs, I am anxious to see that today might be that day that they update their blogs and have a funny story about a situation they were in. And I would crack a smile because I would think to myself.."hey," I would tell myself,"I know these guys and that is a cool story that they are sharing with me."

But sadly, I have been disappointed by those folks for they have not updated their blogs in quite some time.

Not from the Midwest

0% Upper Midwestern

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I'm surprised they don't have stuff like "do you pronounce creek as crik"

Mah first Purp!!!

I'm on my way to being a barney.

I'm apping for Siege right now. They don't use DKP, they have a loot council. When something drops, you msg the leader with what the new piece would be replacing. They are all about gearing everybody up and it's a freaking fun guild to hang out with (we bg'ed all weekend, you have no idea how funny it is to watch idiot alliance try to take down a prot specc'ed warrior with 5 different insta health timers, running the flag). We downed Rags on the first attempt on friday, then went and downed Ony and then downed Ony on Saturday as well.

Anyway, here is my first Purple. It's great because my FR isn't what it is supposed to be for a warrior. This puts me at about 112 unbuffed.

Interesting Marketing Research

I've been meaning to post about this for about a month now, but the only time that I remember it is when I'm in the cafeteria and somehow I seem to completely forget it by the time I reach my desk.

So in the cafeteria where I work, they have the typical cereal in some form of packaging (this time it's a pseudo-bowl-ish packaging, it's usually in small boxes, etc). Well, they obviously have a variety of choices, that is until they are getting down to needing restocking. There are about 6 packages per row and there are about 6 rows. Obivously there are going to be cereals that not a lot of people like, well here is the observation -

Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms are always there in abundance. It appears that these are the two most unpopular cereals out of the kelloggs family. There are always more of these then there are of the other cereals because some of them are carry-overs from the previous stocking. Why is that? Are these viewed as more of a kids cereal? The Cheerios/Cinnamon Toast Crunch/other various kelloggs cereals always go before the Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms.

And somebody somewhere is paid twice what I make to make this observation.

What is up with Blogger?

Is it just me or has this site been erratic lately? I've had like three things to post and everytime I've gone to post them, it has taken forever to load and then usually times out.

I blame chuck.

The Campaign is Over...

...or is it?

We finished our latest installment of the DnD campaign (link is to the right). It turns out the bad guy we were hunting down wasn't the one we thought it was, it was a totally different guy.

The campaign was really fun and exciting. Even with my broken sword I wasn't able to keep up with the damage. DnD is a great excuse to get together with your friends and have fun. I look forward to the next installment (whether it be a continuation of this campaign or the start of a new one).

Pops Rolls

This is a picture of my Dad's Rolls Royce. I believe it's a '76 or so. He is a partner in a chauffuer business and he has a Rolls and a Bentley. I got to drive one. It drives like a tank and has two sets of breaks.

Buddy of Mine

This is a picture of a buddy of mine that appears to be stuck in the apple at the playland in the mall. These play areas are set up so kids can play while the adult units take a load off and rest from shopping. My friend is large and we bet him that he couldn't fit through it.

Picture Time!!!

I will make the next couple of posts about pictures.

This is the lake behind the building that I work at. Often times I will go out and converse with a friend of mine during a "smoke break". It is very peaceful. There are ducks and a swan. The lake is filled with huge fish and sometimes there are fishers out there as well.

I wonder what level fishing I would need to fish there and if I can, could I snag some oily blackmouths. I need to get some underwater breathing pots.

I'll take a beer, here's my hockey ticket

So the Coyotes scored at least 4 goals last night, so that means if you go and show your hockey ticket at a Taco Bell you get a free Chalupa. Yay for free taco bell.

My buddy Clark said, "That's how it should work for other things. Gimme a beer, here's my hockey ticket." So instead of money, we should just get double/triple use out of our hockey tickets.

My other buddy Voigt won't be getting his free Chalupa because he is protesting the marketing campaign.
