Superunknown

I know I'm heading for the bottom, and I'm riding you all the way!

That is a brilliant line from Soundgarden's Superunknown. My brother found my copy in the garage recently, and it has been in constant rotation ever since.

Rock on!

Blasted by Langerhans

Did you watch the Atlanta Braves game on Sunday (07/02)? If you did, you may have seen me get beaned in the face by a richochet home run from Ryan Langerhans. This line drive shot went over my shoulder in right field. When I looked back to see who caught it, I felt a mule kick right on the bridge of my nose.

Thankfully, the damage was minor.

Just had a thought...

Just the thought of this makes me snicker.

"The George W. Bush Presidential Library"

To think that our non-newspaper reading president will have an entire building filled with books, documents, and papers filled with words...

I can see it now! The entire Spiderman Collection in the Marvel Comics Wing. The silence and serenity within the halls of the Graphic Classics.

Of course, Laura will have her "Abstinence Only" section dedicated to her loose (I mean lovely) daughters.

Weekend Update

Good afternoon lil Panderers!

This was a pretty nice weekend! We took care of many an errand, including but not limited to:

• Installed a ceiling fan in the bedroom (we have yet to swing from it)
• Detailed the interior of T's car (no more sour milk smell)
• Bought a new book, Getting Stoned with Savages : A Trip Through the Islands of Fiji and Vanuatu by Maarten Troost. I read his first book about Tarawa, and his insight of the islands was very similar to my experiences on Saipan.
• Drank some tasty Flying Dog Pale Ale at Katlanta's b-day event. This event also included some top-notch BBQ and my first foray into Peanut Butter stuffed Jalepenos.
• Napped on Sunday in front of the Food Network.

Although this video is from February, I found some enjoyment when I loaded it on You Tube.

Rock on!

Wow. I just realized that I post about once a month. If that doesn't inspire you to read my blog, then I don't know what will!

Here is a quick recap of the last couple weeks in order of importance.

1. T and I have reached the end of our first trimester! Knock on wood, T has been taking pregnancy on like a champ! This past Monday, we listened to the heartbeat of our lil lime within. Amazing Stuff.
2. T's sister, brother-in-law, and brood of 4 will be moving to the OTP within the next couple months. In order to get a jump on his new job, the B-I-L will be staying with us for a few weeks. It is going to interesting to see how they respond to living in the big city!
3. My brother recently moved to the DEC! He is working at the Angel, so pop in and give him some serious tips.
4. Work is going well... I won't provide any more details than that.. you cyber stalkers!
5. Creative Loafing's Beerfest was a great time! Some of the pictures on the site were taken by yours truly! Here is one of me on the mechanical bull!

Kidney Bean and Other News

This morning, my beautiful wife and I got our first view of our baby! The ultrasound gave us a terrific view of the body including its little heartbeat. What a wonderful gift we have been given.

For those keeping track and taking notes, we are 8 weeks 2 days in. The expected due date is December 30th. I few days earlier, and we have a Christmas baby. A couple days later, and we have a 2007 baby. How wild.

In an attempt to boost the visability of this blog, here are my comments on the top search terms on Technorati.

Lordi - My sister sent me the You Tube video to 'Rock and Roll Hallelujah". What a mess. I don't care if this Euro-Gwar won some competition. This is Green Jelly rediculous.

Da Vinci Code - T and I went to see the movie on Sat. I would give it an 8 of 10. I thought the story was interesting and the acting was pretty good. Really, how can you wrong with Ian Macellan, Audrey Tautou, Paul Bettany, Alfred Molina, and the modern era Tom Hanks in the same film??

Macbook - I want one.

Ted Koppel - There really should be more foreign correspondents. I also want to see news from other countries aired on US networks. We ought to know what the rest of the world thinks about us.

Montenegro - Would you want to be on the tail end of "Serbia and .... ?"

Feedlounge - Come on... How many ways do we need to get content. RSS, OPML, Aggregators.

Talk-show Joe - I guess I need to tak the time to see what this even is...

Eurovision - If this show awards a band like Lordi, we should all be scared.

ROCK!

Yacking on the Man in Black

There I was sitting in class…
Watching the clock as minutes amass…
Into the room walks the man in black…
Looking as though he had just been attacked…

Flushed is his face, damp are his eyes…
His words were soft in hope of disguise…
Reached for his bag, struggled to hold…
No one knew the drama about to unfold…

Shades of pink and the arrival of smell…
Slowly we gazed and were able to tell…
That the man in black was covered in yack…
And leaving was his first order…

Was he sick?
Had he caught the flu?
Neither correct…
As I shall soon inform you…

A man of the streets had demanded some change…
He was tattered, broken and hairless with mange…
Only some change was his minimal need…
Providing him none was the unwise deed…

Up from his belly a caustic brew…
From top to bottom, soaking straight through…
The man in black learned something powerful that day…
Always carry change, or make a faster getaway…
