proud of who you are

the next blog button strikes again, this time with a blog by someone who is funny, and proud to be who she is. Kind of cool considering most people put on fake displays most of the time.

other than that, I've been busy, so the first thing to suffer is the website, blog, myspace, emails, etc. Basically the devil computer and all its time-wasting-goodness. But we got a tree yesterday, and some garland, so it probably smells good at home. Maybe If I can find a few hours to actually be home, I will find out. And I get to go watch the Blazers lose again tonight, since we have season tickets. And Christmas parties start this weekend for most people, if you haven't already been to one. Man I love drinking and eating. Unfortunately while I am really excited for getting presents, eating, drinking, seeing friends, partying, drinking, decorating, etc., I have absolutely no desire to go out present shopping. How about everyone just buy them self something and stick my name on it, and I'll buy myself something and stick all your names on it? Sounds good? Great? I'll be at home with the new drink I made up last night.

A frosty white russian:
1 shot Carmel liquor, 1 shot Peppermint Schnapps (preferably Ice 101 or Rumpleminz), 2 shots Kahlua, all poured over ice and milk or cream added to fill glass. Shit its good.

2 good quotes

Peter Jackson Talks Halo
Oscar-winner Peter Jackson has just wrapped up King Kong, but he's turning his eye to the Halo movie, of which he is executive producer. "Hopefully it won't suck," Jackson said.
(that's what I like to hear. Honesty in my movie-makers)

NFL Football
"Houston continues their bid to draft Reggie Bush next year with another loss this week."

also I would like to say a big Fuck You to the Philidelphia Eagles and their horrible offense. Thanks to them I lost my fantasy football week which would have guaranteed me first place becuase they took out Hasselbeck and Westbrook after the game was 42-0 at half time. I only needed like 30 yards of offense, and they pull two of my starters. Fuck. Plus it made the game really boring, although I am glad that Seattle won, and happy for the Seahawks defense, because Seattle is gaining respect for the first time since S. Largent.

Wear the fox hat

I got emailed a funny joke, and thought I would make it more applicable to my own life.

When people come to visit me in Longview, and they are discussing it with their friends unfamiliar to the area, their friends often suggest to them, "Wear the fox hat."

christmas light snobs

I came up with a new phrase on saturday night. Christmas light snobs are people (like me) who can't help but cringe at the tasteless christmas decoration addicts who put every single light they own on the front of their house in an attempt to outspend their neighbors in the electrical bill category of this years tacky fucker awards.

They cover the bushes, the trees, around the windows, the roof line, the icecicle lights, the front path and sidewalk, around the yard, the chimney, and of course the nativity scene and iron reindeer.

They use the colored lights, the white lights, the multi-colored lights, stars, rope lights, pictures of santa, pictures of snowman, and of course, the newest sign of the apocolypse, those fucking inflatable santas, snowman, reindeers, snowglobes, grinch and his dog, and other crap like the Coca-Cola polar bears.

Maybe it's just me (although I know its not), but what ever happened to outlining the roofline of your house and adding a simple star or possibly one or two simple lawn decorations? How about a 10 strand of light maximum or something? How about it being legal to shoot those inflatable animals with a bee-bee gun? The first hint that you need help is if it is brighter outside your house at night than it is during the day. And if you mix multi-colored with single colors and white, or use more than one color and white, then you have tacky lights. Just thought you should know. Try white with blue, or white with red, or red with green, or multi-color only for example. Until you sled so fast that you burn through the bottom of your sled, or have your grandpa burn down the tree with his stogie after grandma makes catfood and pineapple green jello, try and not blind the rest of us with your lights. Clark W. Grizwald, you are not.
