Close Call

2011-06-22T13:20:00.000-07:00

A "close call" is defined as:
A very difficult decision, or something bad that almost happens. Now, I know everyone experiences a close call or two in their lifetime, but after yesterday I need to write this shit out.

On tuesday I received a call from one of my friends while I was extraordinarily high doing some homework. It was one of those quick call that sounds something like this:
"gay guy what up?"
"want some free gas?"
"dude"
"get over here."
CLICK.

Apparently my friend was fixing something on his gas tank and it was too heavy to lift, so he had to empty the gas. When I got to his house he had his truck lifted up on two dinky jacks in his driveway with 2 Home Depot buckets and a tiny gas can filled to the brim with gasoline. He grabbed a funnel and proceeded to pour it in my truck."Well ain't this just my lucky day," I said with a smile. After we finished up I offered to help him lift the gas tank up while he reattached it to the bottom of the truck. Oh I forgot to mention. I don't know jackshit about working on cars or their parts... sooooo most likely I won't be using the right terminology and just describing it. Anyways, we got underneath the truck and I tried my best to hold the giant, looked more like a small boat, gas can up as my friend tried to bolt it back into place. I could tell he was having trouble screwing the bolt back into place because of two things:
a.) He was cussing.
b.) His face was beat red as tiny beads of sweat formed in every crevice.

Suddenly, as he was trying to push the bolt back into place the truck shift, violently falling ontop of us in shock. When the truck moved, the dinky jacks moved, letting the truck fall back to the ground. Luckily it wasn't a car, but I still manage to fling myself from the truck like a scared cat when sprayed with water. "Jesus Christ," I yelled in disbelief. I had never seen this happen before. Before I could completely collect myself I heard this groaning sound coming from the other side of the truck. "Ohhh fuck! I'm stuck!" My friend yelled as I ran to the other side of the truck. I could see the back right tire landed on both his feet when the truck fell. He looked at me in agony, "I can't get my feet out! Get the jack! Hurry! Lift it up!

Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I reacted calm or swift, or like I'd done this before. I freaked out! My legs felts like weights when I sprinted to find the jack, which seemed like a mile away. I picked it up and swore there was no way it could possible weigh this much. Seconds seemed like minutes when you're hearing a full-grown man moan in pain. The first time I tried to use the jack I couldn't figure out how to lower it so I could put it under the axel. I was grabbing things, trying to twist or pull anything that would move. "Hey Nick grab the handle of the jack," my friend said as he layed on the ground, eyes closed, and the most painful expression I've ever seen.

DING DONG! The light bulb came on, my senses cleared up, and I realized what to do. I grabbed the handle of the jack and stuck it in the necessary spot and turned it, lowering the jack. I moved it into a position next to his foot and started jacking the car up as quickly as possible. It seemed like it took thirty minutes to lift his truck up 2 inches but I finally saw him scatter away from the tire. He managed to stand up pretty quickly, which I knew was great news, and he seemed not to be in much pain afterwards. I just layed on the oil stained driveway, my entire body sore feeling like I had just done a Iron Man marathon.

You wanna talk about losing your high quickly? This is definitely one way I don't recommend.

This is neither me, my friend, or his vechile. Just some redneck in the same positon as my friend yesterday.

Bikram Yoga? What is it?

2011-06-16T17:19:00.000-07:00

Most likely if you're a woman or have a girlfriend, you've either been or heard of this type of exercise. For the rest of you, Bikram Yoga is basically yoga but in a burning hot room. Actually, this exercise is becoming quite the popular trend for women looking for something new or homosexual men looking to sweat. Just kidding about the gay part but people seem to love this stuff! No clue why anyone would want to supress themselves to this torture chamber but they do it.
The other day I was talking with my girlfriend about possibly joining her in the activity sometime. She locked eyes with mine and very subtly said, "You wouldn't last 10 minutes before you quit or puked."
"Oh really now?," I replied sarcastically, "but ever positive she was right. If anyone is out of shape, that man would be me. Now when I say "out of shape" I don't mean like the fat guy shopping at Albertsons on one of those scooters. I mean I don't ever exercise and i'm not in the shape I USED to be in. Actually, not even sure if I was ever in shape, but I used to be able to run a mile without collapsing at the finish.

My future website

2011-06-10T13:15:00.000-07:00

I'm trying to start a cap gun site to help bring in a little extra income. I figure it would be a great way to be more productive and try something new. Everyone says you need a niche, and maybe one day this will be mine. The site is still in the baby stages as I haven't put any content on it. This is proably what the first page will read:

CAPGUNS.ORG

All the hottest cap guns on the web in one spot

Finding your favorite cap gun has never been easier. We offer a wide variety of guns ranging from small hand-guns to bazookas with detailed descriptions and pictures for every cap gun in our inventory.

We’re constantly updating our catalog of guns and accessories for every kid or kid inside of us. Don’t see anything you like? No problem! Just contact us and tell us what kind or style of cap gun you’re interested in and we’ll find it. Simple as that.

HISTORY

A cap gun is classified as a toy gun that looks and sounds precisely like a real one. They get their name from the small discs of explosive compounds that provides the noise and smoke. Cap guns have been around before World War II when they were created with cast iron, then zinc alloy and recently made into plastic.

The “Golden Age” for cap guns came after World War II when television and cinema screened many westerns and cowboy films featuring stars like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and The Lone Ranger. Children all over the world imitated these heroes and collected and played with toy cap guns. These pistols came in 3 different style from the semi-automatic, revolver (revolving cylinder carrying a disk of caps) and the revolver that looks exactly the same but loads differently with a roll of caps instead. All early model guns carried only either rolled or disk caps

I love this commerical

The commerical reminds me of my friends eventhough we never do this, and the fact my phone is from like 2002.

Why I don't know

2011-06-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

Why do I care if you look at my blog? I have no clue, but I continuaously check to see if anyone has looked at it. And even if you did look at it how would I know? This blogger bitch only tells me the number of people visiting and what provider they use. It doesn't say Lee Broc looked at your blog today and thought it sucked. It won't tell me one clue on how or where these people see it or what they think of it. But yet I check this bastard daily looking. Why?

Another question. So i'm in the Panda Express drive-thru line and i'm behind one car. Its a green pick-up truck with tinted windows so I can't see the drivers but I can see the order went wrong and they're giving the food back. Anyways, I sat there in my truck waiting for 15 minutes while they got their order right. 15 MINUTES man! Thats a long time. I know it doesn't seem long, but YOU sit in your car for 15 mintues and do nothing. It takes forever. Anyways, the question is... why didn't I just reverse and go inside? Why didn't I just realize i'm a fat ass and didn't need to be eating that crap. Why I don't know but I sat there until the green truck left and I received my orange and mandarin chicken.

Joke of the day

2011-05-11T12:19:00.000-07:00

Ay si! We like the jokes

One morning a Mexican mother and son are in the kitchen rolling tortillas.

The son grabs a handful of flour and splashes his face with it. "Look mom! I look like a white boy!"

The mother slaps the son across the face. "You go upstairs and tell your grandma what you just said!"

So the little son goes upstairs into his grandmother's room.

"Grandma, mom wanted me to come upstairs and tell you I threw flour on my face and said I looked like a white boy."

The grandma hits the boy square in the nose and says, "Now you go tell your dad and see what he has to say."

He goes downstairs and sees his dad while covered in flour.

"Jeez dad. I've been slapped by both mom and grandma."

"Well", the dad says, "what did you learn from this experience?"

"That I've only been a white boy for 2 minutes and I already hate fucking Mexicans."

Stole this from my girlfriend

I came across this fun recipe this morning. I am in love! I made Papa a neon "rainbow" birthday cake last year.. this just takes the same idea and makes it a little more interesting. You dont have to use the bright rainbow cake inside, although it's appealing to show off the vibrant colors. You can really take this idea and make it your own. I personally think the idea of cake in a jar is awesome enough in itself with or without the colors! I'm thinking....red velvet with cream cheese frosting or funfetti (my personal favorite) with some fluffy pink icing & sprinkles!!!

In my opinion, (being one who loves frosting) a pint sized mason jar is just too much cake and too little frosting. I am planning on making these in small 4 oz mason jars or even recycled baby food jars to resemble more of a cupcake. These would be perfect for any bridal/baby shower or party. I can not wait to try it out!

CLEAN THAT BONG MISTER

2011-05-06T16:59:00.000-07:00

TIPS TO CLEAN A GLASS BOWL/PIPE/BONG

Smoking and cleaning don’t mix. Make sure you have a clear head when you start this dirty process because I’ve seen my fair share of pieces get cracked or break
If you decide to clean your pipe or bong in the sink take the time to clear the area. Resin is a tricky sucker and if you don’t clear the sink, you’ll have black spots all over your dishes. Trust me when I say it takes FOREVER to get this crap off.
Make sure you’ll have time to let it air dry, the bigger the piece the more dry time.
The dirtier the glassware the more time needed to soak. Months and even years of using your pieces can cause giant buildups that need extra time and care to get rid of.

Spilling a bong is never a great experience. Besides the fact it smells like old nasty butt juice, you will almost always have a stain. If you listen to us, and we hope you do, follow our instructions and clean your bong on a regular basis. It won't stop you from knocking it over, but atleast it won't look like sludge pouring out.

MAIN INGRIEDENTS

Rock Salt/ Rice:
You take your pick as both do the trick. Your girlfriend might be pissed wondering where the salt and rice went so buy back-ups. You’ll need a lot.

Scolding hot water to soften resin:

Get your water very hot almost boiling.

Rubbing alcohol
The higher alcohol % the BETTER, although most people in the states can’t get a hold of 70%+ alcohol at their store. Just find the highest alcohol % you can in your area.

Optional: Lemon JuiceBecause its mostly acidic, the juice helps your bong smell fresh and clean after the whole process.

And on the 7th day the gods said, "let there be football..."

2011-05-02T08:16:00.000-07:00

QUARTERBACKS

Aaron Rodgers- Has officially entered elite status. No one deserves this spot more.
Drew Brees- Don't quit your day job if you're looking here for a reason to draft Brees. He is money in the bank.
Peyton Manning- Peyton threw more INT's in 10' but look for him to resurrect to his old self.
Tom Brady- Flawless in 2010 as he won MVP honors.
Michael Vick- One year wonder? Scoring 56 fantasy points last year in a single game helps to answer that question.
Philip Rivers- A passing machine, look for Rivers to become more balanced when the running game gets started.
Tony Romo- Went out early last year with a broken collarbone. Look for him to bounce back with his aerial arsenal.
Matt Schaub- Mr. Schaub will have a better 11' year as Arian Foster stole the show last year.
Ben Roethlisberger- He takes huge hits but the guy can produce double digit fantasy points week in and out.
Josh Freeman- Helped lead his team to a potential playoffs berth in 2010 after only two years in the league. He WILL get better.
Matt Ryan- Shaky fantasy quarterback as Ryan is never very consistent but did very well at home last year. Isn't a top ten quarterback because the Falcon's running game is just too good.
Joe Flacco- An up and coming quarterback, Flacco made a name for himself in 10'. Has an amazing receiving corp.
Eli Manning- Having Hakeem Nicks to pass to will help anyone.
Jay Cutler- Makes way too many mistakes and can't finish games. Forget about it.
Sam Bradford- Looked great as a rookie winning "rookie of the year." Year two might be a different story.
Matthew Stafford- If this guy could stop getting hurt he would be a top 10 quarterback.
Matt Cassel- Had a great 2010 season and 11' should get better with his improving offense.
Mark Sanchez- Is surrounded by immense talent but can't seem to live up to the hype.
Tim Tebow- Did ok but we need to see him do more than just run the ball.
Carson Palmer- The machine is breaking down.

Running Backs

Adrian Peterson- AP is a beast who puts up points. Give him two inches and he'll score.
Chris Johnson- Didn't quite live up to his 2010 season hype but still had a terrific season. 1 round lock for sure
Maurice Jones-Drew- Scored 1,600 years in only 14 games. Started out the 10' season slow but finished off strong.
Michael Turner- TD machine inside the 20, Turner has the strength and durability to set records this year.
Arian Foster- One hit wonder? With Ben Tate coming back, Foster's role might be dimenished or the least more balanced.
Jamal Charles- Thomas Jones didn't affect Charles one bit last year and Charles will only be getting better.
Ray Rice- Ray ray didn't start out strong but finished the season 10th in rushing. Plus McGahee might not be back in 11'.
LeSean McCoy- McCoy is high on my sleeper alert. With Vick's leg speed and arm, defenses will be spreading out helping open holes for McCoy.
Frank Gore- I will bet my life savings Gore gets hurt and can't go atleast a third of the season. Its typical Frank Gore fashion.
Rashard Mendenhall- Carried the Steelers in the first half of the season only to see Ben get back in the groove and air it out. Look for a more pass offense with Ben starting the whole season next year.
Darren McFadden- DMC finally lived up to the hype after last season running a muck on defenses. There was talk of Michael Bush taking over DMC's role but after 2010 that doesn't look likely.
Jahvid Best- Started the season off on flames with his quick feet, only to get turf toe and dull out the rest of the season.
Ahmad Bradshaw- It's going to be him or Brandon Jacobs. Flip a coin.
LeGarrette Blound- Surprised everyone last year running well. If he doesn't punch one of his teammates he should do well.
Matt Forte- Draft only if you're in a PPR league. Forte rarely gets goal-line carries but gets lots of screens and passes.
Peyton Hillis- Break out star last year for the Browns, Hillis could be very iffy come September. Keep your eyes posted.
Ryan Grant- Not a person fan because of injury but Grant can produce when he's not sitting on the bench hurt.
Steven Jackson- 751 carries the past two years and only 10 touchdowns, Jackson might be hitting the wall sooner then we thought. Sam Bradford might help spread the defense so keep your eyes peeled.
Knowshon Moreno- Finally earned the every down back status and things look prosperous if he stays healthy.
Jonathon Stewart- If DeAngelo Williams goes then you have 2 thumbs up to draft him sooner. Stewart did help at the end of last season after coming off injury.
Felix Jones- Get lots of yards but not many touchdowns. With Jason Garrett under control, Jones might excel.
Ryan Mathews- You can say it...Mathews was a bust last year. He did show promise in the last couple games and if he stays healthy he should become the primary back.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis- Eventhough he's on the Patriots, Green-Ellis scored 13 times and ran over 1,000 yards.
Fred Jackson- Even with C.J Spiller Jackson is a man to be reckoned with. Snow, rain, tornados can't stop this guy.
Chris Ivory- Fantasy stud in the playoffs last year until he injuried himself. Pay special attention because Ivory could break out.

Wide Receivers

Andre Johnson- A man beast that cannot be contained. He should definitely be the first receiver taken. You saw what he did to Cortland Finnegan.
Roddy White- Matt Ryan's go to guy and doesn't let him down. If you're in a PPR league snatch this guy right up.
Calvin Johnson- This guy is gifted. Doesn't matter if its Stafford, Stanton, Hill or my girlfriend throwing the bal, Megatron will be catching touchdowns.
Greg Jennings- This is Aaron Rodger's go-to guy and with Donald Driver soon to be getting social security. Look for Jennings to get the rock even more.
DeSean Jackson- Did you see what this guy did with Vick throwing the ball? Very constant receiver on a very good team.
Mike Wallace- 2010 was Wallace's breakout season and there's not sign of him slowing down. When Rothelisberger came back after his suspension he was slinging passes right and left to this guy.
Reggie Wayne- Very consistent and catches almost everything thrown to him. Remember this, the Colts LOVE to pass.
Hakeem Nicks- Ohh lord this guy crushed defenses. Don't get fooled again, draft this guy before your dumbass friend does.
Dwagyne Bowe- Still not completely sold on Bowe because of his consistency but he has tremendous talent.
Larry Fitzgerld- This guy needs to leave Arizona asap. Ole Fitzy is a great star on a terrible team.
Mike Williams- Did pretty well in 2010 but needs a better quarterback situation in 11'.
Dez Bryant- DB had a great rookie season surpassing Roy Williams on the depth charts before injuring himself. Bryant will be a force to reckon with when Romo is back in the saddle.
Kenny Britt- Came on big during parts of the season and slowly fizzled when it counted. The titans need to figure out the QB situation first.
Brandon Lloyd- He's faster than a speeding bullet and catches everything in sight. This guy had a tremendous season in 10' and you shouldn't expect any less this year. With a coaching change, Brandon Lloyd should keep getting better and better.
Miles Austin- Didn't impress us like he did in 09' but still had a great season and with Romo back should get back to those 09' numbers.
Santanio Holmes- Holmes did a great job in the playoffs last year but had a lot of drops as well as being on a star-studded team.
Jeremy Maclin- I'm jumping on the gravy train and ranking all Eagles very highly. With Vick in charge this teams looks like a well fined machine.
Marques Colston- It like picking in the lottery. Brees likes to spread the ball so its up to Lady Lucky if Colston has the big day or not.
Austin Collie- This guy is a stud if he can get away from the concussions and injuries.
Santana Moss- Did a lot better in 2010 than he has in awhile, but still not enough for fantasy purposes.
Brandon Marshall- Needs a WAY better quarterback. Look for him to rebound this year.
Vincent Jackson- Is he or isn't he staying with the Chargers? This is the question you need to find out.
Steve Johnson- Looked fantastic in the beginning of the season but slowed down after dropping the game winning TD against the Steelers.
Terrell Owens- T.O. showed us he still has what it takes to play football at a high level. Look for him to slow down next season.
Wes Welkers- Great utility player who gets lots of receptions.
Johnny Knox- If Cutler can throw more passes to him, Knox should take off like Steve Smith did two years ago.
Sidney Rice- If he leaves Minnesota I would rank him a lot higher.
Percy Harvins- Life after Favre might be pretty sweet for Harvins if the Viking get a reliable QB and Sidney Rice goes some where else.
Pierre Garcon- Inconsistancy is all I can say for this guy. I would take him as a 2 or 3 receiver.
Mario Manningham/Steve Smith- Depending on how Steve Smith does with rehab, look for one of these two guys to take the # 2 position on the WR depth chart.

Tight Ends

Antonio Gates- You can't stop this guy, only hope to contain him. Philip River's favorite receiver in crucial situations.
Dallas Clark- Started off to a great season before getting hurt and out of the season. He is Peyton Manning's favorite receiver and usually gets plenty of goal-line looks.
Jason Witten- Witten finished as the top TE, scoring 10 or more points in each of the last five NFL weeks. Steady as they come.
Jermichael Finley- Stud, Stud, Stud. Someone draft this guy
Vernon Davis- Catches and scores were down from the season before but should remain a major weapon in Jim Harbaugh's new offense
Owen Daniels- If given a clean bill of health, Daniels could be ranked higher as he remains the Texans number two receiving target.
Zack Miller- Mr. Consistent on the Oakland offense. Miller catches everything and almost never gets hurt. With another year working with Jason Campbell, Zack Miller should excel even more.
Chris Cooley- Cooley had only two double digit weeks last season and his three scores matched his 08-09 total combined. QB plan will obviously be main factor.
Kellen Winslow- Slow to start the season, Winslow started clicking with Josh Freeman during second half of the schedule. Starting in Week 10, Winslow reached 10 or more points every other game.
Brandon Pettigrew- This talented second-year player, who set a team-record with 722 receiving yards could easily crack the top-10 by fantasy draft time.
Mercedes Lewis- The production finally caught up with the skill set as Lewis' 10 scored were three more than he produced in previous three seasons
Dustin Keller- Amazing start to the season with 52 of his 94 total points in weeks 2-4 but disappeared fantasy-wise from there.
Tony Gonzalez- Lack of a No. 2 WR keeps Gonzo this high but not a player to target, let someone else draft the name.
Jermaine Gresham- Gresham produced a quality rookie campaign and with an expected overhaul at wide receiver, more of the passing game will be focused on him
Brent Celek- Celek was needed as a blocker more than fantasy owners would have liked. Potential in this offense remains high if he can get on track with Vick.

In the 21st century dating has become a dull and boring technique used in meeting the opposite sex. It has become more about who can spend the most money than being a romantic act of sincerity. Plus if you're broke, its a double whammy.

STREET FAIRS

Almost every city has a weekly or monthly Street Fair. These events often include free admission, live music, and lots of fun booths selling food or interesting trinkets. It’s a fantastic place to bring someone special without spending much dough. The food at these events are massive, well worth feeding 2 people for under $20. And just because you don’t have money to afford anything, it doesn’t mean you and your date can’t have fun browsing. Vendors are loud and hilarious with their marketing tools to lure you into buying their product. The atmosphere at these events can almost be described as romantic with the live music and companionable crowds enjoying themselves and the food.

　
No money means you maximize your existing assets.

　
　
　
　
Make em dinner

I’m sure you’ve probably used this one before and you’re probably thinking this won’t be much help. Think again. I’m going to describe how to make a gorgeous dinner for less then $20 bucks, and it will still impress anyone. Not a gourmet chef? No problem. If you can read, and I’m assuming you can, you should have no trouble cooking up this wonderful recipe as well as setting up the romantic scene. This certain recipe is a mexican taco dish that is DELICIOUUUUUUUSSSSS!!!!

First, start off with buying the candles and table cloth for your table at the $1 store or Michael. These places usually have very nice items in this department for very cheap. You don’t need scented or expensive candles to set the mood. You can use plain long white ones or whatever you have around the house.
Second, if you don’t already own these ingredients, go to the grocery store and pick them up.
Ingredients include:

-Cheese (Mexican, pepper-jack)
-Lettuce
-Roma Tomatoes
-sour cream (optional)
-Canola oil
-Chicken breast (as much as needed)
-cumin, chili powder, and salt OR just taco seasoning
-Corn tortillas

Ok step ONE:
Begin with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut them down the center lengthwise, then cut each half into bit-size slices.

Step TWO:

Throw in the chicken, spreading it out in the pan.

Step THREE:
Crack open a couple of cans of diced green chilies…And dump it into the pan with the chicken. Season the chicken with things like cumin, chili powder, and salt…or you can just use taco seasoning. Spice it up with some cayenne if you can handle the heat. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it’s totally done. Then turn off the heat and set the chicken aside while you get the other taco ingredients ready

Step FOUR:
You’ll need finely grated cheese. This is the pregrated stuff—it’s a cheddar/jack mix—and it actually works just fine in this recipe. You’ll also need some diced Roma tomatoes……And some thinly sliced lettuce. This is Romaine—I just lopped off the top and sliced away.

Step FIVE:

TO FRY THE TACOS

Heat a couple of tablespoons of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. *Use caution when frying with oil, please.*

Grab a spoonful of the chicken/chili mixture

Step SIX:

Flip the tacos when they’re light golden brown. Then cook the other side.And scoop it into a tortilla. Fold up the tortilla, then clasp the taco shut with a pair of metal tongs.Use the tongs to set the taco into the oil, then use the tongs to hold the top half down to “form” the taco.After a few seconds, it will stay put and you can assemble and fry a couple more tacos.

Step SEVEN:

A note about the oil/frying: I’m always surprised how UNgreasy these tacos are. If you remove them from the oil sideways and let the excess drip out, and if you do the little shaking trick, they don’t have a greasy/oily quality at all. When they’re done, lift each taco out of the oil, holding it sideways and shaking lightly to get the excess oil to drip out. Have a stack of at least 5 to 6 paper towels nearby, and place each taco on top of the stack. Fold the corners and sides of the paper towels tightly around the taco…Then gently shake the taco three or four times to get out the excess oil. You’ll want the paper towels to be snug around the taco so the chicken won’t fall out!

Step EIGHT:

Place the tacos on a plate after shaking, then carefully pry open the tops of the tacos and stuff in some cheese. (You can use tongs, a fork, or your fingers; the tacos will be a little hot.) Then let them sit for several minutes before serving. The cheese will quickly melt inside the hot tacos, and they’ll be good to go when you serve them.Then add several dashes of your favorite hot sauce

NOTE: It’s ideal if you can keep going with the frying process and have a friend standing nearby who can take care of the cheese-stuffing step. That keeps the tacos moving through the assembly line more quickly.

Next comes plenty of lettuce…And tomatoes…And that folks……is a plate of chicken tacos.

Making these tacos can really impress anyone and if you’re able to pick up, or steal from a friend, a couple Mexican or domestic beers it can put the finishing touches on this magnificent meal. This is just one of thousands of recipes one can make on a budget. You don’t have to be Rachel Ray or Lee Drummonds to make a quick delicious meal.

DOUBLE-DATING

　Obviously this middle schooled method of dating isn’t going to impress anyone, but with a limited amount of money this may be a great option to get more with your buck. Double dating helps make cheap unappealing places look fun and adventurous. I know strolling into a dingy smelly bowling alley or screaming kid infested boomers isn’t your typical idea of a first or second date, but when you insert another couple it makes it fun, exciting and creative. It’s the only time wearing clown shoes and drinking beer can make you seem out going and likable. Plus most bowling alleys have cheap food which helps not starve your date or break your bank

HAPPY HOUR

Don't be this guy

Dating with alcohol have been around since men realized it works. Its like milk in your cereal rather than eating it flake by flake. Yeah both will get the job done, but its more enjoyable having the milk. The only problem is alcohol is EXPENSIVE. The first two drinks of the night can bring your dating budget to a screeching halt. This is where a broke man must become creative and happy hour can work in your favor here. Happy Hours are usually between 3-7 so its perfect for mid day casual dating with a bang. Not to mention it also works for those quick after work drinks, with a little more cash for food. Pool tables, Televisions, and juke boxes are added bonuses for the dating experience. I highly recommended googling happy hours or calling beforehand before walking into an unknown place where the happy hour just ended and you’re explaining to your date why she should order the house vodka instead.

Ordering movies from Netflicks through our Blu-Ray player is probably the most genius thing I've witnessed in my short time period on this planet. I thank the heavens above me for this invention.

I need to start writing on here more and get into the swing of things.

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MAMA

I've realized that women in relationships don't have just a single day birthdays anymore. One day has turned into a week filled with festivities that result in a climax of presents, dinner, and sweet delicious desserts. Don't get me wrong, I love my little "K" more then anything and would give her the world on a string if I could.....but I can't... or atleast not at my financial state now. Now if I could use my credit card, thats a different story.

This post is for the primary purpose to explain how happy this little blue eyed girl makes me. I've never had someone who cares so much about me and literally knows how my weird mind works. I can say I've found my true love and my best friend. Besides all this sap, we do fight and I was tempted to push this huge cupcake in her face.

Catch of the day

My first bachelor party was a success. Even though it was a diet bachelor party, with no drugs or hookers, it was probably one of the best weekends I've had with my friends. With all of us on different schedules we knew times like this weren't going to be very accessible in the future, as Mike lives in Chico with his girlfriend, Nate is pretty much married, Jon is basically married without the title, and myself am busy with my love muffin. So being miles from nowhere, in a rented out cabin by the lake we did what any other men our age would do......Drink! and drink some more. Vacationing somewhere remote is enjoyable and pleasant, but it blows to having only one store thirty minutes away and paying $30 for a 30 pack of beer. Plus, they didn't sell liquor in this "convenient" store but they had $8 frozen pizzas.

"The one that got away"

Is it just me or irony that on his bachelor party, while fishing, the groom-to-be gets a accidental fishing hook to the mouth? I definitely believe so. Hook, line, and sinker.

Getting started

Maybe its because I'm in a great relationship with someone I've known for a long time. Maybe its because thats what people start to do with their life at my age. Its probably both, but I swear like everyone around me is getting married. In addition, (Thanks to my wonderful girlfriend) I've seen a ton of wedding blogs, tv shows and websites recently on such topics as rings, venues, catering, and overall pictures. Even one of my best friends, who is about to get married in March, has a wedding photography business with his bride to be. The marriage bug just seems to be everywhere the older you get. I think once people hit 25 or 26 the thought of becoming old and alone hits them like a louisville slugger and they take the plunge. Or maybe its just a new fad. I have no clue but being in my own relationship, thoughts of marriage have come into play recently. It typically consist of "what the hell is all this going to cost?" and maybe a little "hope I don't get too drunk at the reception" but mostly "I know I've finally found the right one."

This week is my friend's bachelor party at this lake side cabin getaway in Monterey. It's going to be a great time but on a costly dime. Not expensive but when you're broke, everything seems like too much money. I couldn't believe the price it costs to rent a tux these days. Even with a coupon, like the cheap ass I am, it cost $170 dollars. But the thought of marriage is also probably what evenually led me back to returning to school. Plus not finding work and running out of money helped a lot as well.

Ok back to the bachelor party. It has been declared it will be a three day drinking and fishing binge as we live out our friend's final days before shackling himself to the bars of marriage. This being one of my best friends, since High School, I figure this trip is going to set the bar of bachelor parties to come. It's going to be strenuous with my financial downfall as of lately, but with enough friends going I should be fine. As in fact actually, this will be my first ever bachelor party! When I was younger I thought these events were all about escorts picking up quarters with their ass cheeks and drunk binges in Vegas. I've seen plenty of movies where that happens and I've heard all the mystic of this celebration but never experienced it.

But with girlfriends come responsibilities, and this won't be that kind of celebration. Plus Valentines day and her birthday are coming up. Instead, we've taken the mature approach and decided a escape in nature should do the trick. No hookers and cocaine like the movies, only good beer and fishing. With 7 dudes packing the car for the road trip, things are sure to get interesting..... Someone mentioned doing mushrooms but I'm not sure.

Well hello there

Back in the day I used to think blogs were a fag way of saying journal or diary. I used to also think college was unnecessary and my farts didn't smell. Trust me when I say I was wrong on both. It wasn't until recently I realized just how important school and education really are.

At 26 years of age I felt like my life was going in the right direction. With minimal job experience I was able to retain a job as a field surveyor for Verizon making as much money as my mom did with a Masters. I felt like I had hit the jackpot. Plus, I had done it all without paying an arm and leg to go to college.

It was hard to have a worry when, with the swipe of my debit card, all could be taken care of. It was clear sailing for me until about mid July when I was given my 2 week notice and told I was being laid off.

"Sorry kid you're a contractor so you're the first to go," barked my supervisor over my company phone. "Don't worry this layoff will only last till the first of the year and you'll be back in no time." You could tell by the tone of his voice he was full of shit. I can still remember my first thought after hearing him break the news to me, "What a shitty way to end a monday."

So after months of the same repetition of sending cover letters and resumes to job openings and being denied I've resorted to plan E.....Going back to college. Guess I've realized the importance of having a "Bachelor Degree" on your resume. It couldn't hurt right?
