Happy Friday

No time for posting today... I am at work early to get as much done as I can because I'm leaving early. It's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Pt. 1) day and I've already bought my ticket for a 12:20 showing. Then tonight it's AL Brown Wonders playoff football. Win and advance!

OK so here is the picture of my blog that I want to have showing on your blog rolls today:

I hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend. Sorry for such a worthless post but I'm sure you guys didn't want to read anything serious today anyway.

Thursday Random Thoughts 11/18/10

Stuff I have been thinking about:

-Don't you just hate when someone says, "Well I'm just doing my job?" I hear that all the time around here and I think it's a cop out.

-Mmmmm Diet Dr. Pepper DOES taste more like regular Dr. Pepper. In fact I think it tastes even better than regular Dr. Pepper.

-Speaking of Dr. Pepper, I can't be the only one out there who thinks that the Cherry Dr. Pepper commercial with KISS and Mini Kiss is completely awesome? Admit it you like that commercial.

-So Prince William is getting married next summer. I remember when I was a kid my Mom getting us up really early in the morning to watch Diana and Charles' wedding. Maybe we will do the same thing for this wedding.

-This Prince William wedding is going to be so huge it's already one of the biggest news stories going. I'm happy for them but I do think that giving his fiance Diana's ring is kind of weird. It's just that considering Diana's marriage broke up and then her death and all.

-Once you hear the "Sniff" in Uncle Kracker's "Follow Me" you can't help but hear it EVERY time.

-I read the other day where Florida Governor Charlie Crist is trying to posthumously pardon Jim Morrison from his lewdness conviction in 1969. THAT is pretty cool. Especially for a Republican.

-So Thanksgiving is next Thursday... I can't wait, in part because I'm gonna do the turkey for the first time in my Turkey Fryer I got last year. It's gonna be GREAT!!

-So defeated SC senate candidate Alvin Greene has new political ambitions. He says he is going to run for President in 2012. Um yeah Alvin, You just keep on believing that one buddy.

- Had a discussion with my wife the other day about which of us was a bigger nerd. Of course I won chiefly because I'm taking a half day off work to see the New Harry Potter movie tomorrow. Yeah I'm pretty proud of it too. HA!

OK that's enough for today... Until next time.

Fired for having big breasts?

Meet Amy Erin Blakely. I have been reading recently about her and her claims that she was fired from her job at a children's charity called The Devereux Foundation for gender discrimination. Get this because her breasts are too big and they were distracting for her co workers.

Oh boy this is a classic on several levels. The first is that her attorney is Gloria Allred. Yep the same "woman's rights" attorney whose previous clients have included porn stars and strippers who shook down Tiger Woods for money during his infidelity episode earlier this year. If you aren't familiar with Gloria let me tell you I am not a fan. She has done some good things like representing Amber Frey the mistress of wife killer Scott Peterson and the Brown family during the OJ case but the shaking down of Tiger Woods whether he deserved it or not was just too much for me. She even represented Debrahlee Lorenzana recently, the woman who claims she was fired from Citibank for being "too sexy." I think Gloria is an opportunist and an ambulance chaser.


OK, back to the breasts. Now just looking at the pictures here of Ms. Blakely I would agree with her being attractive because she is but the case here seems to revolve around her breasts. A few quotes:

"It was very humiliating to know that senior members of our management team would focus on my breasts as opposed to my performance on the job," said Blakely at a Los Angeles press conference Wednesday. " She also alleges that someone in management talked about how large her breasts were and that she needed to 'hide them,'" Allred told the station.

See, they keep playing up the breast thing because it's what sells and what gets the headlights errr I mean headlines. I think they have a "tiny" problem though. Where's the big breasts? I have googled and checked numerous news stories and none of the pictures show Ms. Blakely as having anything other than normal sized breasts?? Trust me, I have looked.

I think this case comes down just as the other recent Gloria Allred cases. She is trying to use the media to drum up pressure for some quick cash and not representing woman's rights. The proof is in the pictures on this one because I think clearly this case would be thrown out of court for "lack of evidence" so to speak.

A Week in the Life...

What a week this has been for me!

I spotted no bed bugs after inspecting. I did get a change of hotels so I could be with everyone else when one VIP cancelled his room. You know it wasn't any more special than any other hotel room.

I was very lazy starting Thursday. I haven't had much time at home so I was pretty much was in front of the tv just hanging for most of the long weekend. I wanted to accomplish stuff, but the energy disappeared. Life in the Snuggie was much more appealing

I did take the Vespa out for a ride. At that point I racked up 30 miles. I also discovered 30 mph can be very fast. Hmmm...in my car that would have to be 130 for me to say that. Well, I laid the bike over doing a right hand turn. This time no damage to the bike other than scratched chrome on the mirror. Myself, well, I have some interesting shades of blue and feel like I did a really good workout. Ah, more reason to be a lazy bum.

Later that evening I think I had a date. Yes, I'm horrible at dating. My last relationship ended September 2008, and not really much happening since then. We have a Facebook mutual friend (a coworker of his), the dude that cuts my hair knows him, and I think one of my best friends sorta knows him. I haven't felt the need to really start finding out what I can on the 'net to see if he is married, a sex offender, or something - and I've never fel the need to pay to have a background done on any guy I've ever dated. He seems to be a nice, safe guy. We've gone out twice and he has paid for everything and hasn't even tried to hold hands. He is great to talk to, and we both enjoy movies and triva. I'm trying not to rush it and let things develop organically.

I'm being myself. I've tried to pay and might have to be a bit sneaky. I'm not used to a guy being nice to me. We will see what happens. I'm in new territory.

Sunday, I walked out an a weir. I had no idea what a weir was until seeing it. It is a dam in a river. The river was low so I could walk over it. Normally there is water going over it and if you are boating you are suppose to remove your boat and relaunch on the other side. The river is said to have strong current but it was hard to believe until we approached the seperation area where water was rushing. That was pretty impressive. I'll need to go out there and check out more sunsets. That was an enjoyable thing to do with my mom and the Boston Terrorist.

I started off Monday by dropping the work cell phone in the toilet. Well, I'm going to get another one - just not sure if it will be one that is currently there or if they will order me what they are moving to. I hope it is a new one. I'm just happy I don't have to use a toilet phone. My joke is calling it the Bat Phone because it rarely rings but when it does...

Happy Friday, I need one of these

So how is everyone doing this wonderful Friday? I'm doing great so far. For some reason a whole bunch of people decided to take the day off from work. This is just fine with me. There will be less people for me to deal with and I will surely be able to slip out a little bit early.

So since it's apparent that I'm phoning it in today I figured I would do the same with my blog posting and skip a post today. Then I saw this awesome picture below and knew I had to share:

My parents and In-laws keep asking me what I want for Christmas and I say forget the I-Pod I want get me a "Toast Saber" Completely awesome and a quick time saver... Toast is so yummy with a little butter and grape jelly but I don't eat it all that often because I have so little time in the morning. This would solve all those problems. Please somebody get me one of these.

Ok so maybe I still mailed it in a little bit on my blog post, but give me a break. IT'S FRIDAY!!

Thursday Random Thoughts 11/11/10

Stuff I have been thinking about:

-First and most importantly today is Veterans Day. Please say thank you to those who have served and protected us and allowed us to live in a free country.

-Since it's a holiday and schools are closed here my wife and son get to come and have lunch with me. I really love when they come and visit my office and most everyone here enjoys seeing my son. Plus he gets to pick where we eat and he loves Jimmy Johns!

- Someone from Lockheed Martin found the blog yesterday searching for information about the mystery missile over Los Angeles. I wonder if they liked my theory. HA HA!


-So far so good with the switch from DirecTV to cable except for one thing. The DVR only holds 25 hours of programming as opposed to 100 hours that our TiVo held. That is kind of disappointing but everything else so far is great.

-Apple Jolly Rancher candies are filled with awesome!

-I heard that Kanye West has taken back his apology to Taylor Swift for jumping up on stage and ruining her acceptance speech. Really Kanye? Are you really sure you want to do this? Taylor kicked your ass last year in the court of public opinion and my bet is she does it again. That is if you are still relevant enough to matter. No offense but you really haven't had a good song since Golddigger.



-So what is it with this new fad where women are wearing these shaggy high heeled boots with skirts and skinny jeans and stuff? I couldn't find an exact picture of what I'm talking about but these are close. I have seen this a lot especially out at the football games I have been to recently. Seems to be a trend for the late teens and 20 something ladies. I'm pretty sure I don't like it.

-I am loving my new smartphone! We were finally able to extend our plan and get smartphones this past weekend and decided to go all out. I got the Android. A 4G Samsung Epic with QWERTY keyboard and it is pretty amazing what all it can do. I am so glad that I didn't go with the Blackberry and it was certainly worth the wait. Only problem is the battery seems to run down very quickly. I know that this phone does a lot of stuff that can suck down battery life but you guys find the same thing is true with your smartphones?

-To continue this weeks "Google" theme I wanted to share this. Yesterday when researching my post I came across this website Bing vs. Google. Check it out sometime. It gives you search results at the same time from both Bing and Google. Kind of cool!

Until next time...
