The Final Countdown

If your first thoughts are of the hair-metal band EUROPE, you get 50 points.




















The real countdown, the only one that matters in Atlanta... is the number of days until the new Georgia Aquarium smells like PEE. My statistics-free analysis predicts that the smell of 1000's of children peeing will permeate the entire place within two weeks. Because how much of that $200 million dollars was spent on air fresheners? Probably not nearly enough...

Does that mean I won't be checking out the whale sharks, and big boy belugas? OH Hells No! I will be there probably after the place has taken on its new smell...

ECK!

Thursday is the new Friday...

With Veteran's Day being observed tomorrow, my work week is slowing down to a crawl. It is fitting that my grandfather's funeral is being held this weekend, seeing as how he served in WWII and the Korean War. There will definately be some military representation in the services.

I cannot go on with all serious subject matter. I do have to throw out some things of amusement. Like the Panthers cheerleaders that were arrested for not only for performing sexual acts in a public restroom, but for also punching someone out. No link supplied, as I am sure you have all read about it by now.

Today on FARK, I read that 4 students were kicked out of ROTC and suspended from school for having sex on a school trip. Back when my parents were telling me about ROTC in high school, I had no idea this is what was going on. I thought it had more to do with making pyramids out of people, and putting them on leashes. Thanks to Lynndie England for being the supreme follower IDIOT.

William E. Swetnam - My Grandpa

The past week has been tragic and emotionally taxing far beyond anything I have lived through previously. Saturday morning (11/05), my grandfather [William E. Swetnam] passed away at the age of 88 in Asheville, NC due to complications from his recent surgury. He died from a pulmonary embolism in each of his lungs.

The memorial services are this Saturday (11/12) in Franklin, NC. Services will also be held in Beaufort, SC on Saturday (11/19). Donations in my grandfathers name can be made to:

Is Friday Night Allright 4 Fighting Too?!?

The weekend is nearly upon us! Only a short work day away from planting myself face first into a pile of nonsense.

Tonight the mrs. and I are having dinner at 2 Urban Licks. I took a look at the menu online and everything looks tasty… If anyone has any recommendations, let me know!

Tomorrow is the Dick-hater Whino Festival! I am looking forward to tasting some FARKING MERLOT! Down with the PINOT.

Then there will be some hungover cahooting at Lenny's Bar where we'll be checking out Sovus Radio. If they suck, there will only be one person to blame.

Sunday is all about Finance... Exam coming up, so I need to be solving some problems and memorizing some formulas.

Maybe just maybe, I will squeeze in the Falcons/Dolphins game....

Busted....

Trick-o-Treat was a complete bust last night. We hurried home and dumped all the candy into a big pail only to have 10 kids come the whole night. Completely disappointing! Now I have enough candy at the house to last a year. The next time you see me, it will be on Springer, and they will be cutting down the walls of the house to get me out.

I have an important Green Lantern update to make!!! He has new teeth! So not only are veneers for PWT (via Extreme Makeover) and celebrities, they are now also for image-obsessed coworkers.
