My Little Hula Girl

Wasn't that a song, or in a song? I dunno.... But anyhoo, this stuff is good. Sailor Jerry, spiced navy rum.



















Now lemme tell ya...I like the rum...but not that clear shid, it's gotta be spiced. Although that clear shid is OK when it's mixed with 7-up. But I prefer the spiced rum with apple cider, but rum 'n cola is good also. And when I found the Jerry, I coulda died an went to heaven. So there ya have it... go get a bottle, sip it, mix it with some cider, and enjoy!

Monday Musings

Why is it that after you have had a cell phone for a year, the battery goes Tango Uniform? My razr battery won't last more than 15 minutes while talking. Guess it's time to shop ebay.

Why do pancakes taste so much better after seeing a naked hottie holding a bottle of syrup?
(psst...it's not really syrup)

Why does it get colder than piss when I run out of firewood? It's about 17 degrees outside with a windchill of 2 degrees.(that's Fahrenheit folks, which translates to DAYUM IT'S COLD!)

Why do people think I'm an unending source of knowledgeable information? To my lazy-ass brother: go lookup the info yourself!

Why do I always encounter dumbasses whenever I go grocery shopping? (I don't give a shit if you're waiting for a parking space close to the door you lazy obese mf'r, get your piece of shit p.t. cruiser out of my way!) (and it's called a list, that's why it doesn't take me 30 minutes standing there with a dipshit look on my face to decide what kind of salad dressing I want)


O.K. I think that's enough musing(bitching) for today.
Now go take on the day!

(found on killsometime.com, go check 'em out)


And I've always wondered....now here's the proof:

















...although I don't think the mountain goat is supposed to be boning the bear.

I have to confess, my TV blew up last week, so I have been entertaining myself on the internet(get yer mind outta the gutter).

It's Friday!

Yeah Buddy! Another Friday.

I have been so unmotivated, kinda in a rut, this past week. Maybe it started when I got a call from a client I've been working with on a design for an entertainment center. He proceeded to tell me that he got a price from another shop that was less than half of my price. Less than half! Only $200 above my material costs. Now I've been doing this for several years, and I know how much it costs to do custom woodworking. So it's not like I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass. Cheap Bastard! Oh, but he still has some trim work he wants me to do...yipee!
And I'm working on designs/prices for a couple other clients, and I get that gut feeling. It's hard to explain,but when you have worked with people long enough, you get a certain feeling whether or not they have high expectations without the means to back it up. And why is it when a potential client is asked what they want to spend on a certain project, they go "deer-in-the-headlights"? Hey folks! Don't waste my time! If you tell me what you want or can spend at the first meeting, I can tell you if it's feasable. Instead, I spend several hours designing a project, pricing it, only to find out it's 5 times as much as you want to spend. And don't even get me started on these hacks that undercut me on price!

Anyhoo, on to another day. And I've been struggling with some trust issues with my s.o. Why can't people be up front about stuff? It's called communication, it's not that hard to understand. If you wanted my friends e-mail, all you had to do was ask. Because that way I won't be shocked when I get an e-mail from my best friend saying you sent them an e-mail. Pisses me off. And when I put my trust in you and you go behind my back, that's grounds for dismissal. Period. End of story.

And while I'm in a great mood, why don't I pitch a bitch about all this hype over the colts. Y'all are gonna choke(if you don't great, but I'm just going with history here), and if you choke like you have the past three years, why are we building you a new stadium? I'm not a big football fan, but I am rooting for the bears. Mostly because my cousin plays for them, and he's good. And it is amazing how many "fans" come out from under the rocks and jump on the bandwagon up near the end of the season. And God forbid if the colts actually make it to the super bowl! I'm getting tired of seeing horseshoes! And don't make small talk with me about the game, cause I could tell you more about nascar than football.

A'ight, nuff said. Have a great weekend. Hopefully it will snow here this weekend.

Holy Crap!!

I've been doing this blog for one year! And people still look at it! Sorry I don't have any cool stats, I'm too lazy to go back and count the HNT's, the jokes, and other stuff. Happy Blogoversary to me!

Road Rage

Some people let road rage get out of hand. I admit, I get pissed at idiot drivers. But I don't tailgate, flip people off, or drive aggressively. For one, I drive a 4x4 that weighs almost twice as much as most cars...and if some jackass decides to slam on their brakes in front of me and I can't stop- big mess. So to my story. I was going to my Nephew's birthday party a couple weeks ago and I got into some slightly heavy traffic. Some half-wit with a small penis driving a Hummer H2 was driving like an idiot, cut me off, weaving in and out. Well unfortunately for this micro-man, he had business signage on his truck. So what do I do? Yup, I called the number on the side.
"@#!*&@$ Powersports"
Hello, do you drive a gold H2?
"That would be Brian"
Well, I'm driving on $!$&%& road, and he's driving like and idiot.
"Are you near %&**&%#?, yeah that's Brian...I'll make sure and talk to him about it"
Well sir, that would be a good idea, because when you have business signage on your vehicle it's not a good idea to drive like an idiot.
"OK, I'll talk to him about it"

It doesn't always work out where the vehicle that is driving like an idiot has a phone number to call, but it feels good to call someone out on their stupidity. I was thinking after that, it would be great to have a bumper sticker that says "Am I driving aggressively? Call 1-800-XXX-XXXX, with the number being for rage-aholics. Now that would be funny.


Hope everyone had a great New Year celebration, mine kinda sucked...I was designated driver and couldn't party like a rock star. But hey, sometimes ya gotta take one for the team, right?
