Shrimp Creole, Shlitz Beer, Red Bull, Allentown PA, can I be your friend, chinese peanut oil, diet PEPSI, and body wash in your eye

Look at the title, you can tell it was one hell of a day. If you can experience all those things, good or bad, its been a pretty good day. Jimmy V, Valvano for those of you that dont know who that is. He was a basketball coach at Rutgers and then won the ncaa tourny with NC State. died of cancer umm 10 years ago or so. I read his book 20 or 30 times a year, yes its a real book like 400 pages, why???

He said you should do 3 things everyday, you should love, you should laugh and you should have your emotions bring you to tears. He talks about knowing where you are going and where you have been. Remember the bad times cause they will get you to the good times(if you make it to the good times, and it is all relative) He talks about the first time coaching a college basketball game and being inspired by the great vince limbardi, but that not holding a candle to his loving italian family. Remembering the lows of the first firing which was superseeded by about 15 minutes by a crazy homeless man telling him he was fired. I am pretty sure he knew then it was time to pack up the boxes and move on.(no i didnt get fired.) he was passionate about what he did, and enjoyed getting out of the bed at all costs to get the job not because it was the right thing to do or what they paid him to do but because it was what fueled his life. With that being said, I work alot more than most and Im ok with that. it is not abnormal for me to spend 80 or 90 hours a week at work or at home on this laptop doing what i love to do or what I really love. Its not the paycheck and im not sure what it is, but today I got a little closer to understanding why I do it and why I dont mind it. I had dinner with a person that works from our company from Allentown PA. She tells me of how much I have helped her in the last 9 months and how things would be different if i wasnt around and what can only be fixed by the grand old wizard of the textbook world himself, adam. Usually i am the talker, i like to tell the story, i like my voice to carry over it all it comes from a loud talking sister that can breathe thru her ears. it didnt give me much time to express my passions. That is how i got to where i am, now i do not shrink from or deny that one voicestris sound you around here and around my building comes from me. Not waiting in the shadows, not caring if wrong or right. But being the person of ideas, great or flops that is me. Back to Allentown, you cant keep a good man down - woman in this case. God Bless you my old friend as im here for you.
So you laugh, you learn, you love and you cry, thats a full day, thats a hell of a day. I love chinese food, not sure why but im pretty sure peanut oil and rice is addictive but im not complaining. But i like it all best with diet pepsi, not sure why. YOu dont ask questions about these things, you just go with the flow, you dont want the great mouth watering taste leave so you dont tempt the fate. I had dinner tonight at crappy beer night at buzzard billys, its a little cajan resturant downtown in the haymarket. Yes we have a haymarket, i dont see them selling hay these days. its a great little place to have some shrimp creole. might be the only shrimp ill eat in nebraska :), you get to work in the morning and act alive with a little red bull and m & ms. Yes i know thats bad for you but, get over it. Oh yes, this morning when i took a shower for some reason i got about an ounce of body wash in my eye. no we are not talking about the suds, this is pre foam soap. it hurt for hours. my eye is still red. my addvice is dont do that.

So I laughed, I loved, and I cried(it was one hell of a day)

till the next time

PS, if you make a white russian and put coke in it, it is called a Colorado bulldog and tastes alot like a coke float. Not sure where people come up with these things

If your ears are always growing, then why are older people hard of hearing?

State of the Union/I am not a smart man jenny

Forrest Gump is alot like George W, but a little smarter. While watching the Stat of the Union(SOU) everyone fell asleep. how did we elect this guy president, he dont put complete sentenances together. what the hell are we doing here. such an exciting time here in the world and we get, Hello. Its really bad when i get to make fun of the way somebody talks. Ok no more SOU, off to two and a half men. Its a funny show atleast most times :P


dont have anything else to say except to say im tired and going to bed

enough from me now

Chaos Theory

So, what are we doing here. I dont know you dont know we dont know, why do we care. My life /job can be defined by the chaos theory. Most people could say that but they dont really know: the chaos theory has something to do with fractul geometry. But basically says if you look at all the things in the world, patterns form and the things that are random arent so random to us. I havent figured out my sleep pattern in the past 9 months. If you look at the randomness around us, patterns show up and in that even great beauty. I am not sure what is going on, but its random. bed at 8 up at 2, bed at 10 up at 2, bed at 8 oversleep to 9. Not really sure what is going on, i can be tired but it doesnt matter. But on friday night and saturday night i can sleep like 20 hours if i want to. Its still cold here, not that it wouldn't be. When i woke up yesterday it was 8 below, temperature not windchill that was 25 below so quit complaining about your 30 degree mornings. You don't do much when its that cold outside, usually get inside as fast as possible and sleep alot. I had green eggs and ham , wait no i didn't. I had scrambled eggs of regular color for breakfast. I got this bacon, like the real stuff and I know its bad for you but i crave it. Its better than any bacon Ive ever had and that's saying something growing up in the south. Im almost have it figured out, its like it has its on secret ingredient and it just lures you in for more and more. so i dont really understand that. Im like the only person that cooks breakfast most every day. I told my boss that i get cranky and yell if i dont get food and he says that i should show up late everyday if thats the case cause me cranky just docent add up to a good day. For lunch i went to jimmy johns, its a sub place around here. its super duper good, not sure why but it is. I always get the number 9 which is an Italian sandwich. I never like them before moving here, who would want to put oil and vinegar on a sandwich. that just sounds nasty, but add some good cheese and some other junk it ends up being pretty good. I just done a spell check and realize I dont use appostriphes. thats random.

Enough for now me

Death and Taxes

So I sat down last night with my W-2s and my 10-99s. With laptop in hand a great bottle of 20 year scotch, I attempted my federal and state income tax return. I had never filed state taxes so this was going to be something new. I dont mind taxes, people complain about them all the time. Probably what people complain about the most, why; its the price we pay to be civilized. Pay the taxes and go on. Anyway back to my story, while filing my taxes on a well known website, it has "what to dos" or "what to dont." I loved the questions and answers, CAUSE YOU KNOW THESE MISTAKES HAPPENED. What do I do if i misspelled my last name was the first helper question? Let me give you some advice, if you dont know your last name. Just dont do your taxes, go to walmart. give some h and r block 1st year accountant count your money or lack their of. Not sure why i thought that was funny but it was. My tax returns were fine and i get money back which is always a good thing. havent decided what i want. cause you know i just buy toys, no need to save for things like a house or something. To this "death and taxes"

Weirdness of the Universe

So I created a blog, probably because my mother and sister have one and I would imagine they are the only 2 that will ever look at it but its a good way for them to know im still alive out here in the great colder than shit state of Nebraska. But seems like everybody except southern flordia and mexico are having cold temputures. There will be nothing here ever worth reading but it might give you a good laugh. I cooked chili today cause its cold and i put about 9 million pounds of hot pepper in it so it warmed me up. Yes I have a very boring life but i dont mind. Neither one of the football teams won today so that sucks but my dolphins went 1 and 15 so i guess it really doesnt matter.
