Why so lazy.. Why no posts.. Why so heavy.. I think I have stated this in the past but I do not know how to deal with things when they are going well.. But I will give this a shot and try to create a somewhat interesting post.. (No I won't I don't want to change the format of this blog) Does anyone have the rage that I have within me even when I am doing something that I enjoy.. Well here is a typical event for me.. I am outside on a beautiful fall day cutting firewood and hauling the split wood out of the woods behind my house.. I don't know why but this is just completely relaxing for me.. My kids are playing football in the front yard my wife is complaining about me not helping with hanging the lights on the trees and really all is right with the world. So I am driving my john Deere through the woods and I am being careful not drive over any small stumps and puncture the tires so I am looking back so I don't notice the horse whip tree in front of me which when I push through let's go from the front of the tractor and whips me across my face and it stings pretty bad but I am in just so happy that I shrug it off but it gets the blood percolating a little.
So on my way back you would think I would remember that the stinging in my face was caused by the tree in my path but being the genius that I am I look at the nice fire that my son has started and how proud I am that I have created another pyromaniac I am looking at him or the fire I am not sure but I am struck by the same tree in exactly the same spot.. BOOOM the rage comes out of me.. I can seriously see spots when I get this mad I yell out you dirty HUUUEERR (more on that later) and I leap off my seat and I grab the tree and I start yanking and pulling and kicking and in general flailing around like a crazed idiot trying to quench my anger by tearing this tree out by its roots.. This is gets a little gross here but as usual I don't care but please skip if you are eating something 1.25 this will be hard for you.. I feel like I am herniating my self as I give it everything I have but I am starting to imagine the hemi's I am going to have that evening and I lunge for my chainsaw (Which is not spitting Gas Sorry 1.25) and I cut this SOB out of the ground and carry it over to the fire.. As I stand there panting like a bald gorilla watching his first kill I see my Son has witnessed this whole event and has decided that I am dumber than he had originally thought.. So to break the uncomfortable silence he says "dad what is a HUUUEERR" I am not sure what to say but I really can't tell him what it really is or means so I just say oh it is something guys say when they are angry and just so it doesn't get any more uncomfortable I tell him he should go play.. As he is running away he decides to kick a similar looking tree in the woods I would tell him it was a dumb move but I really don't have much credibility at this point..
Stranger Than Fiction
What an interesting film.. This is not a Will Farrell movie at all which you have to get used to at first.. The film was just done right.. It is a tough storyline to pulloff but it was really well done. This movie is not going to wow anyone with great dialogue or having you laughing out loud but it was just interesting. I am sure this film will mean different things to different people but for me it was about going how your life is story and you can make it anything you want it to be.. Don't be caught in the same endless circle of doing the same things everyday It is your life make it fun.. Ok that was cheesy but I have been thinking about the movie for a couple days after I saw it so that for me scores high on the baldies scale.. I am going to give it 3.25 baldies out of 4..

What is gaming supposed to be about.. (An endless waste of time) No I mean it is supposed to be about relaxing and having fun… Well the WII has not disappointed whatsoever.. The game play is as advertised you can play gaming in less than a minute.. You really only use 1 button for most of the sports games it is just so natural to play.. I had a neighbor lady and her daughter who had never played a video game console playing tennis against each other in less than 30 seconds.. My wife has played with my kids and you can't get the kids to stop laughing as they play it.. Are the graphics unreal NO is the sound unreal NO but it is not what this game is about it is about my 5 year old playing tennis against his dad and not having to remember to hit X yellow button Y left trigger right joystick down for a jump serve.. You swing the controller like a tennis racquet and you are playing tennis.. They are just scratching the surface of what this type of game play can do and I am excited to see what will be next.. I will never compare this to XBOX 360 or PS3 which I am sure are incredible systems for gamers but I am betting that none of these games will bring new people into the gaming market.. Or better yet as IJ has learned allowed a grandfather 3 hours of gameplay with his grandchildren..
Weight
Not bad 3 lbs gained over the holiday but I am continuing the 10,000 steps to death march everyday..
Vikings
They beat Denny Green.. Wow that was a tough team.. I am looking forward to the Bears game I think they have a shot.. Well any team has a shot at beating the bears if Rex is taking snaps..

I've come to the realization that my chainsaw does not "spit gas" it's self cleaning.
Did you use the chainsaw you sharpened yourself?
And please, don't say John Deere like it's a 200 hp tractor, which now is so small they are just used to power an auger. You have a lawn mower.
Change the oil on the splitter before you take back to your dad. Let me know if he wants straight 30 or something like 5W-30.
JLO is currently on a cruise with McKack and Schpeedy (and their wives). I think the sole reason JLO goes is so he can phone the restaurant at 2:00 AM and order a personal smorgasbord sent to his room for no charge.
That and his 5 cherubs remain at home with Grandma.
I am envious.
Oh, the lifestyles of the rich and famous...
D, IJ, Frenchy...and gang...
Just got back from the cruise...mucho fun!!! Nice mix of time with the other couples and various shipboard activities...I suppressed the rage well for a week...the access to unlimited 24-hour food and pop certainly helped!
Sucks being the fatty in the group though...having the skinny little gay Phillipino cabin steward call you "Mr. Big John" every time he sees you, and McKack bursting out laughing every time, in that sort of "scary"...designed to piss me off laugh...then making a scene out of fake apologizing..."sorry Low, I was just laughing...you shouldn't be so sensitive..." I got your sentitive right here...
I hate how cruise ship toilets are designed for the short and slim...basically designed for small Asian children...long story short, while on the pot, I had to get into a rocking motion, exhaling as I reached back, just so I could wipe my ass...lap band here I come...
Food on the cruise was mediocre, entertainment was really good, ports were neat (snorkeling, cave-tubing, Mayan ruins, excellent weather).
I went into the trip with the idea that I would be open minded...er that is...multi-culturally...keep in mind that Carnival is a cheaper cruise line...just saying, that an extra three hundred bucks could have bought my way out of a few near scrapes with the crips and bloods on the cruise...next time I'll bear that in mind...I won't go into any details, other than to say when you find yourself in line for the purser's desk and a young African-American male in banger gear cuts in line in front of you as flashes you his finest "I hate whitey" look, and then welcomes 20 of his closest relatives to cut in front of you with him, and you initially say something in a polite tone, that doesn't always work out like it might on a different, slightly more expensive cruise line...food for thought yall...
Good to be home...got home last night...missed the kids...learned that my father-in-law thought my son's hair was too long so he took him out for a haircut, and then the two of them re-arranged my garage...aside from that though, the rage has somewhat abated.
Trappy...I hear you bro'...three shots at picking something up with no success is my standard threshold as well...
Hope you've all been well in my absence...
Take care,
JLO
