I’m really excited. I’m going to order them from TigerDirect.com and have them delivered to my po box. I don’t have them delivered to my house because they hold the packages and make me go pick them up anyway. I’ll have them sent to my po box and I can pick them up at my leisure.
I really miss listening to my ipod so I’m super excited about this.
No not my family reunion. I wish that was cancelled because I don’t want to drive to New Jersey in August. It’s my work related picnic that was cancelled. It was pretty cheap, only $10 per person which isn’t really a lot of money considering one person was cooking. I guess people thought they would gain a bunch of weight after eating Brucie’s cooking. They could always take eca stack to burn the excess fat off. I do know that he planned on having regular meat like ribs, burgers and hotdogs. But he was also having wild game too. I was planning on sticking to the old stand-bys. None of that exotic stuff for me.
Well now it’s cancelled. Everybody got their money back and they’ve released the reservation for the park. It’s a shame because it sounded like a lot of fun. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough people commit to coming so we weren’t sure if we could cover all of our costs. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll find something else to do that weekend.
I don’t have air conditioning in my apartment and it sucks! When it’s over 85 degrees outside my apartment is like a sauna. I have 2 fans plus a ceiling fan but all they seem to do is push around hot air. My skin breaks out really bad like I need Proactiv acne cream, but it’s not acne it’s a heat rash. The only way it goes away is once it cools down outside and my apartment cools off too.
I live in a old apartment building with weird windows. They don’t open up and down or side to side. They turn out to the left. It’s really hard to get a air conditioner in the windows because they’re small to boot. I can’t really afford one of those portable air conditioners right now with school and all. Luckily there are less than 10 days per year that I have to deal with this. But man do I suffer those 10 days.
This week my five things are: What are my top 5 stories to watch in the second half of the MLB season?
This should be an exciting next few months.
The Secret To A Happy Marriage…
A man and woman had been married for more than 65 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but oneday the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness.
“Honey,” he said, “that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?”
“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”
I missed it because I fell asleep. I was sooo tired that I just couldn’t watch anymore. I stayed away and watched until the bottom of the 13th inning. It was already after 1am and I just had to get some sleep. When I woke up this morning, I found out the game went until the bottom of the 15th inning. That’s at least another 30-40 minutes!
The people that went sure got their money’s worth though! Instead of 9 innings, they saw 15. They also got a 7th inning as well as a 14th inning stretch. I’m not sure if the same person sang twice or not. At least the American League won 4-3.
Hopefully I’ll stay up the next time.
It’s going into extra innings. Who would have guessed it. I’m really enjoying all of the hoopla around the game, not just because it’s at Yankees Stadium.
I really like when they introduced the players and had them take their positions surrounded by the greats at their respective position.
The Home-Run Derby, the pre-game, and even the guy who sang during the 7th inning stretch, it’s all awesome. I’m almost sad to see it end. It’s also great to watch the cameradie amongst the players. Even players from rival teams. I bet on Friday it will be back to normal though.
If you don’t know who Bernie Mac is check out his bio from Wikipedia. He was one of the Original Kings of Comedy (the name of the tour), a raucous tour with 4 comedians known for their crude language and sexual innuendo. He also has his own tv show aptly titled The Bernie Mac Show. He does tone down the language but not the innuendo. He’s very funny if you’re into his type of humor. If not you will definitely be offended.
I was surprised that he was a guest during a Barack Obama fundraiser. That’s not exactly his niche audience so it should have been expected that people would get offended. I mean you don’t invite Eskimos to talk about Winter Park real estate and you don’t invite Bernie Mac to tell jokes in front of a bunch of stiff shirts. It’s a given that they won’t get his humor and be offended.
He wound up getting heckled while on the stage which I’m sure is something he’s not used to. Barack did come out and offer him some advice to “clean up his act”. The joke is actually quite old. It’s something he did in his KOC days. Read the article at ABC to see what the fuss is all about.
I’m late writing this post so it will be quick. My topic is the top 5 sports stories I’m tired of hearing about:
Dangerous Discipline…
Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.
The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.
The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?”
The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE is GOD?!”
The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,”What happened?”
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time!”
“GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!”
