damn

So I got on here to mention the fact that my 10-year reunion is tonight. I am gonna get talked into speaking a little in front of people, which I am not a fan of, but will do if given beer. I was going to talk about this, but instead clicked on the next blog button again. Of course a few foreign sites again, which I just click past since I can't read them, then a site about a bloggers quest to quit smoking, then a couple family pages with cute baby pictures and cake smeared on their face, but then I found something interesting. (also I have to mention, any site with funny movie references, especially any girls site that says "these are not the droids you are looking for" has to get a mention on my page http://noricum.blogspot.com/)

Did you know there is no controls over what you place on blogger? I found a site below that is porn. not just some boobies, but fake stories about fucking and all kinds of graphic pictures. For some, this will interest you, for others please don't click the link, just take my word for it that you can put absolutely anything you want on blogger. and I didn't know that, and now I do, and knowing is half the battle (GI Joe tought me that).

As for non-illegal type stuff... I got way too drunk wednesday thanks to the help of the in-town-for-one-night friend Garrett and sister Heather. Nothing like eating a big ol Muchos Gracias breakfast burrito after 6 solid hours of drinking, only to violently introduce it to my porcelin friend in the bathroom the next morning. On the plus side, I had more room in my stomach for triple helpings of Thanksgiving dinner. I love me some mashed potatoes. damn skippy.

And today is the big shopping day. I am working, so just so I wouldn't feel left out, I bought a game for my xbox 360 that still hasn't arrived yet. Another call to the game store informed me (at least they answered the phone this time) that they still haven't gotten a second shipment in yet. That sucks and is good all in one. Because the value on ebay is going down, so my chance to make a weeks salary in one day is slipping away, but the likelihood that I will open and keep this $400 piece of electronic goodliness is getting, uhh, more likely. After tax and extras and a few games, I will only be out about $600, but the rest of you didn't really want christmas presents this year did you?

and for those of you that are perverts like me, or want to complain to blogger and need the link, click at your own risk, 18 and over only don't say I didn' warn you.

addicted. seriously.

I can't stop clicking on the "next blog" button at the top of the page every time I get on here. I'm just gonna post what I find in the first couple clicks this time, since I don't have time to search for a good one.
http://heatshotspot.blogspot.com/ kinda funny blog by a lesbian, i think.
http://fusmmauricioflorez.blogspot.com/ I see a lot of foreign blogs on here, and usually pass them by because I can't read them, but this one has a giant drawing of reproductive organs at the top, so it struck me as funny. even though I think its about someone's pregnancy.

and these sites are brought to you by a new blog http://www.elrondofdorthonian.blogspot.com/ Alex's blog.

Sorry I don't have more. Gotta go. And contrary to Nate's belief's, the fag soup is a funny story, but not a funny insult if you don't know the story...

Mama Say Mama Saw Mamakusaw

Couldn't think of a catchy blog title, then it hit me. Why not a line from a song off of "Thriller." Everyone loves Micheal Jackson from back in the day right?

Anyways, this post will be equally un-interesting. I found a few more sites. http://tedreviews.blogspot.com/ is Ted somebody reviewing books and movies and such. Pretty good, and added to my list on the left. Also, an accountant I know has a website, conviently on blogger, with Tax Advice, so I added that to the side list too. http://www.futcher-henry.com/ Also, we had the first day of tryouts for Cowlitz Volleyball, which Abby and I coach for (14-blue) and there were over 80 girls in the 14 division. With only 4 teams (12 max each) that's a lot of people that won't make it. Even if we find a way to add another team. Cutting players is the worst part of tryouts.

This weekend looks like fun though, at least until Sunday and the 2nd day of tryouts. Dodgeball friday after a day of class instead of work. Then apple cup watching the Cougs beat the huskies on saturday, followed hopefully by the new Harry Potter flick. http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/gobletoffire/

So other than waking up early on a Sunday, which I hate to do, to coach and help with tryouts for 6-12 hours, this weekend should be fun. of course thats hoping I don't through my arm out in our last dodgeball match...

harry potter

...guess who is voldemort?
Ralph Fiennes
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800019488&cf=gen
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808475610/hmg
Cast additions:
Miranda Richardson as reporter Rita Skeeter, Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody, and Ralph Fiennes as You-Know-Who.

Due to the length of the book (734 pages), it was thought the story would have to be broken into two separate movies. But director Mike Newell (the first English director of the series) felt that by cutting extraneous story points - including Hermione's efforts to liberate the house-elves - they could fit it into one 2 1/2 hour film.

After dodge-ball, I'm totally going to a kids movie at 10:30. Hope I'm not too drunk to stay awake, cause dodge-ball is a drinking sport.

also, I continued my quest to find other good blogs. Found a tech blog with some good info about computers, including some links to download free software to fix you computer. http://techinacan.blogspot.com/2005/08/free-downloads-ad-aware-this-is-great.html

longview

move to longview. http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=longview-kelso as you can see there is plenty to do. I am hoping they start kick-ball here like seattle cause after dominating (kind of) in dodgeball, we are set to rule another kids sport... if they will just start a league.

and I like beer. and I like the show Lost and Invasion, although I told Abby not to get me addicted to them and she did anyways. It's a good thing she doesn't smoke pot, cause learning to love Wine, TV, and sleeping in have ended up being such nice habits I'm sure I would follow her right down that road too. I wonder if she could also get me addicted to coffee. I better not chance it...I wouldn't want to be alert all day at work. that would suck.

also, COUGS WIN! We won the space needle contest and Abby even saw the coug flag flying on the space needle on her way back from RA Long losing at State (that sucks) and said it looked awesome. I still don't want to go to the apple cup, but I will watch it on TV at least and hopefully get a chance to talk shit to some Huskies here in town.

also, also, found a girl's blog using the next blog button at the top of the page that had three good things. One was a list of 50 things admissions never told you about college. 50-things-admissions-never-told-you.html Its pretty good. The second and third things are links, that speak for themselves...collegehumor.com and dontspitswallow.com

then I also found another blog after that of a pro poker player. crazy stuff out there on the net. http://specialksplace.blogspot.com/

Xbox 360


Anyone that feels like entering multiple times for a contest to go to a 3 day launch party for the Xbox 360, here you go. http://www.microsoft.com/xbox/zerohour.htm If you are not big on video games and really want to impress me by winning and then giving me the tickets, that is okay too. Plus its in the desert, and you have to get there yourself, so I'm thinking road trip.

Rising Rates and Jason

Hope you bought a house while the rates were low...Cause rates are rising on mortgages. And rates on commercial short term money are still rising if your business loan is based on Prime. (its up from 4% to 7% since July of 03) And CD rates keep going up which pinches the margins for Banks to make money. While regular savings rates stay at the measily 1% they have been at since all the other rates went so low. So if you don't have money in a house and CDs or some other high yield investment, talk to Gina, maybe she can find you something...

Another Fed Move Anticipated
Long-term rates have increased more than one-half percent since Labor Day, but the big hit could come as the Federal Reserve attempts to offset inflation pressure with a slowing economy. The 30-year mortgage rate is approaching 6.5 percent, and housing markets historically begin to cool when mortgage rates rise by 2.5 percent.
So far, mortgage rates have risen 1.25 percent since this cycle's low, but a jump to 7.75 percent may not be a sign of a slowdown due to the availability of adjustable-rate mortgages and other innovative products.
Source: Fed Poised to Put Brakes on Economy Inman News Features (11/07/05) ; Barnes, Lou

Mortgage Slowdown Predicted
The Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts an 18 percent decline in originations in 2006 from estimated volume of $2.78 trillion this year. The group expects the 30-year mortgage rate to reach 6.65 percent by fall 2006, which likely will stifle purchase and refinance activity.

This has been my public service portion of my blog.

next post I'll be back to jokes and comments about pooping and boobies. For now, here is an excerpt from Jason Mulgrew's current blog post about Dating, which if I haven't convinced you to read yet, should convince you that he is funnier than me. Which makes him one of my friends even if we have never met...
Also, making love, if it has already not happened, becomes a realistic goal. And considering my personal circumstances, there is absolutely no way I should have written this. But, I am high. So let’s just move on…

Cowboy Chili

Cowboy Chili
A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Prescott, AZ. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili.
The sight was shocking and he immediately pukes up the chili into the bowl.

The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

(this was so horrible, yet so funny I had to repost it from an email I received from Gary.)
and please check out previous posts. I need more comments about the subjects I talk about, or what you think I should talk about, or what you think is stupid that I post, etc.

also, another link you probably didn't know existed...http://www.genesimmons.com/

Go Cougs

http://www.spaceneedle.com/
Cougars have won every day of the contest so far, check out the standings page.
GO COUGS! FUW!

Also, the Huskies lost again this weekend (i know, so did the cougs). Man NW teams are disapointing. I'm sure if its better to be a Husky and not have a chance, or be the cougs and lose by 3 after taking back a field goal in order to try to score a touchdown, then getting stopped, then missing a field goal after getting sacked on the next set of downs, and then not scoring on the last try either.

I like this quote though (with my own little additions):
"It gets worse every week." (being a Husky)
"It's just bad." (being a Husky)
-Washington season-long starting quarterback Isaiah Stanback, whom coach Tryone Willingham replaced with sophomore transfer Johnny DuRocker to begin the second half.

more movies


Or at least more movie... I watched clerks again this weekend because talk of Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks coming out next year had me in need of watching people belittle the customers. Man this movie rocks.
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1800226270
And the next one should be just as good.
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808730008

Reasons I love Amazon.com: Good Prices, and trivia and quotes from my favorite movies. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/fun-facts/B00000IQC8/ref=imdbdppd_ql_0/102-9356058-0898531?%5Fencoding=UTF8
These are a few of my favorites.
  • When Dante asks Randal whether he's ever thought about the fact that all prices always end in .99, most items behind them have a price that end in .95.
  • The offended customer in the "jizz mopper" scene is buying paper towels and glass cleaner.
  • Randall and the Happy Scrappy Hero Pup lady are not actually in the room at the same time. Jeff Anderson refused to read the list of porno movies in front of her, and particularly in front of the child.
  • The VHS cassette of this film is the most stolen video tape in video stores across the USA
  • Filmed at the same store in which director Kevin Smith was working at the time. As he was only allowed to film outside of business hours, the plot included an explanation for the shutters being always down.
  • Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier edited the movie in the video store next to the convenience store.
  • Clerks came out before Mallrats, but actually takes place the day after Mallrats.

and one of the best quotes:

  • Randal: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am.
  • Customer: I beg your pardon?
  • Randal: Your ruse; your cunning attempt to trick me.
  • Customer: I was only pointing out that you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying!
  • Randal: And, I hope it feels good.
  • Customer: You hope WHAT feels good?
  • Randal: I hope it feels so good to be right. There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

Clutter and Email and Musak

As I ponder why my to-do list at work is never ending, why my to-do list at home is too long to even write down, why my answer to any question about internet usage is usually 20+ hours, and why I have no room for stuff in an1800 sq ft house with only two people living in it, I thought I would leave you with some more interesting links and randomness like I did in my last post:
...short article on boycotting email (or at least using it way less)http://www.forbes.com/2005/10/19/lightman-technology-email-comm05-cx_mh_1024lightman.html
...short article on the evils of email
http://www.forbes.com/2005/10/19/goodall-jane-email-chimpanzee-comm05-cx_de_1024goodallemail.html
...and because I went to forbes.com to see what the current articles are, I found something for you I-Pod users
http://www.forbes.com/home/technology/2005/11/03/ipod-porn-digital-cx_pk_1104iporn.html
...and back to the discussion at hand, or at least the thought that prompted this post, clutter (aka: stuff, crap, shit, etc.).
http://www.tdn.com/articles/2005/10/25/this_day/news01.txt
This article has some really good points, and makes me think about moving, just so I could go through all my crap and have a huge garage sale before I moved. My biggest problem is that I am convinced everything I own is worth something, and I can't just get rid of it, but I don't have time to sell it. Anyone want to go shopping at Casa de Erik? It also had some good links in the print version, but they don't appear to show up online, so here you go:

The quote that describes my habbits: "People hold onto stuff like their kids' old clothing as a way of holding onto the past. Or they keep things they think they might need someday as a way to control the future." -PeterWalsh, psychologist and organizational consultant

Basically I don't need most of the crap around my house, but am too stubborn to get rid of it.

The National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization, an association ofprofessional organizers, has established a household clutter assessment scale. http://www.nsgcd.org/ and http://www.nsgcd.org/pdfs/fs006.pdf Are you a level 2 or a level 5?

Also, Musak played I Love That Old Time Rock And Roll on Friday. It made methink about my wedding, and for those of you out there that have gottenmarried, what songs did you tell the DJ or Band that they had to play,besides the first dance song or other required tunes?

one more, sent in by Todd http://www.moviewavs.com/TV_Shows/Simpsons.shtml

featured on http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/ (from Kevin Smith's View Askew site)
Damn, that's 2 more sites for you, plus view askew and movie poop shoot have tons of links just by themselves. I expect people to read a lot of shit I find. Finding great sites on the internet could be a fulltime job that Smoot and I would be good at, and would enjoy.

Or my new favorite as I read a few
"Mr. Schneider, You're movie sucks!" Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times, about
the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/mess/31.html

upcoming movies:
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808475610
harry potter goblet of fire
I'm a Harry Potter geek, which I read doesn't make you attractive to the opposite sex, but I don't care, because I don't need to care.
So I will watch kids movies and read kids books, and go see this on opening day.
also, Office Space (Special Edition) is on dvd now, including how Swingline Staplers now sell red staplers and they are their number one seller, all because ofthe movie. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/officespacedvd.html
I'm also excited about this;

Try to follow me on this one

- Busy Busy Busy with many random thoughts floating through my head. The most recent, that Abby just got offered a job. SHIT YEAH! It's only half-time, but it gets her in the system so The Man can't keep her down any more. Call her and congratulate her if you know her number.

- http://www.angelfire.com/ma/justliving (my website) has been updated, well at least a little bit. This includes a dorky temp/clock for Longview, and some new links.
(and no, I still haven't gotten the other wedding pictures up on my site. I am lazy and I procrastinate. And although I apologize for it, I am not sorry enough to change my ways.)

- http://www.tvguide.com/News/Insider/?cmsGuid={AE026F8A-1D75-4F5D-B4E9-55C1E6579C99} http://blogs.nbc.com/office/ These two are blogs by people on the show The Office, which follows Earl and I have mentioned before I think.

- My Name is Earl is still very funny, and between that and The Office, I actually plan to watch TV tuesdays if I can remember. I told myself I didn't want to be that guy who plans life around a show, but that was before I set my phone to remind me it was 9:00 last Tuesday, and now Abby has me watching Lost and Invasion on Wednesdays, I plan to watch Cougar Football on Saturdays, and I plan to watch the Hawks on Sundays. So between that, weddings all summer (including one more this Saturday), being busy with work for 5- 6 months straight, after-work hobnobbing at Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club funcitons, and club volleyball coming up, I pretty much get nothing done now. (In fact, I typed most of this last night, and just added the below stuff in a quick couple minutes...)

- I may have mentioned before, that now we have MUSAK (elevator music for offices) at the bank now, and how 5 in 100 songs are actually songs I enjoy, and another 15-20 songs are ones I make fun of, and the rest are just horrible. Well...right now Pump Up the Jam by C&C Music Factory is playing...in a bank...at 9:15 in the morning. And my boss doesn't understand why I like Dilbert. Man looking on the positive side of things and having inside jokes just makes my warm inside. Kind of like Liquor.

- Dodgeball tonight. We are gonna smoke them, and I plan to wear wristbands that are red,white, and blue. Partly because thats the only ones I have, and partly because I watched Best of the Best last night. Did anyone remember that Amahd Rashad (ESPN) was the announcer in that movie? Man he was young then. And that movie is so horrible, but still brings a tear to my eye when the Koren fighter says "To save a life in defeat, is to earn victory and honor" or some shit like that. So touching. Eric Roberts and Chris Penn are very good actors...(that's sarcasm Nate in case you don't get it...)

http://www.clerks2.com/ I plan to check out more about The Passion Of The Clerks (Clerks 2) which is in production. Man I can't wait for this movie.

Busy couple days...Go Cougs


Busy couple days...First off, Cougs need to go make a donation to hurricane relief, if you are so inclined, because it will also help the cougs get the space needle painted crimson & gray for apple cup http://www.spaceneedle.com/(The cougs play Arizona St. this weekend, so maybe we will finally win...)

other busy type things. Abby's C-squad team is done for the year, but now she is one of the assistant coaches for the varsity team, who is headed to Tumwater to try and win districts and a spot at state for the first time in 8-10 years. If you happen to read the sports section tomorrow, look for R.A. Long to see how they did.

The Blazers opened the season with a loss. Their first home game is saturday, which I hope to go to, but with Abby at Districts that day, and another wedding here in town that day, I am not sure what the weekend holds for me yet. Probably drinking somewhere.

I bought a 2005 Ford Escape. Anyone in the market for a 2000 VW Jetta VR6, or a 2000 V6 Explorer? Cause Abby wants a new car also and we need to sell both our rigs.

And dodgeball again this Friday, with all the teams in the league splitting their matches last week, Team McNeely hopes to break the 4-way tie with back to back wins this friday.

dreaming about pooping

I have discovered a nightmare that is worse than the one where you are falling, or the one where you are speaking in public...in your underwear, or the one with the evil ronald mcdonald (long story...). I am of course refering to the dreams where you have to urinate or deficate in the dream and have nowhere private to go, or for some other reason can't "let loose," although it is very evident that your dream-self really needs to go.

For some people this is usually prompted by waking up in the middle of night, and after a few painful minutes your body convinces you that the reason you are up is so that you can run to the bathroom. (of course, for a few of you, this dream prompts nothing, and you wake in a pile of fluids that you created...) Now I am not saying that this happened to me, but in the dream I didn't have last night, I ended up shitting all over the place in an aquaintence's house (not the bathroom for some reason) before waking and finding to my delight that it was in fact just a stomach ache. My body thankfully allowed me (if this had happened) to go in to the other room and do some word search instead of spending the early morning burning sheets, pajamas, and probably the mattress.

What's the worst dream you've had lately?
And were you happy you had it (like I was, uhhh hypothetically)?

Poop (and Dilbert)


Well...talking about poop, and/or pooping, seems to make you famous if you believe the Jason Mulgrew hype, and this random thought crossed my mind while I was updating adobe reader at work and my eyes fell on the little "search Yahoo" button.

I could think of no better way to pass the next minute and a half of my life then to search "poop" and then post a couple links on here for the blogging community. (and don't miss the jokes in the last post, especially the picture of boobees...)

  • "About 3/4 of your average turd is made of water." http://www.heptune.com/poop.html quotes like that and questions like "Why does poop stink?" "Why is poop brown?" and "Can you get sick from eating poop?" will keep you entertained for minutes...
  • http://www.poopreport.com/ with Poop of the Week and the Poop Blog, Your #1 Source for your #2 business
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poop the Wikipedia definition (wikipedia, home of the best "coug'n it" definition I've seen, which they did again last weekend...fuckers)
  • http://www.doodie.com/ "offers several interactive cartoons featuring characters...uh...pooping." and some other funny links

http://www.dilbert.com/ also, Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comics and a few short novels that I have mentioned in my ramblings, has his own blog http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/. He had a good post (actually, they are all pretty good, kind of like Mulgrew's and my site...) about having No Sense of Embarassment. I like that, and am posting that as my blog heading from now on.

I have been trying for a while (and by trying I mean he just reminded me, I don't actually put much thought into anything...) to come up with a phrase for myself and the attitude I inherited from my Father.
"I am secure enough to make people laugh at me, I think I am vaugely funny, and I like to make people laugh, therefore people laugh at me a lot. And I am okay with it." That can be my motto. That, and "I like Beer."

Jokes and Golf and Football

Happy Halloween from two Boobees.
and the blog title in reverse order...
GO HAWKS
Stupid Cougars, I was let down again.
I finally golfed after a month or so off, and was 7 over on 3 holes, and 8 over total for 81. So other than those 3 holes, I played really well, and considering I blew up right in the middle, I would say I had good composure to finish off only 8 over.

and guest blogger Alex N. strikes again...

  • At dawn the telephone rings.
  • "Hello, Senor Lucky? This is Ernesto the caretaker at your country house."
  • "Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"
  • "Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor, that your parrot died."
  • "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"
  • "Si, Senor, that's the one."
  • "Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. "What did he die from?"
  • "From eating rotten meat, Senor."
  • "Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"
  • "Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."
  • "Dead horse? What dead horse?"
  • "The thoroughbred, Senor Lucky. He died from all that work pulling the water cart."
  • "Are you insane? What water cart?"
  • "The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."
  • "Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"
  • "The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."
  • "What the hell? There's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?"
  • "For the funeral, Senor."
  • "WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?!"
  • "Your wife's, Senor...She showed up one night out of the blue and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Tiger Woods Nike Driver."
  • "Ernesto if you broke that driver, you're in deep shit!"

and another from Alex

  • A man goes to a shrink and says, "Doctor, my beautiful wife is unfaithful to me. Every evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up men. In fact, she sleeps with anybody who asks her! I'm going crazy! What do you think I should do?"

pullman stinks

Well, actually it was the drive over that stunk. A couple times we passed areas that must have been having used diaper burning contests. Either that, or we found where they bottle "Sex Panther" from the movie Anchorman. (You know its good cause its got pieces of real panther...)

For those of you in the know, Shakers is gone. It is now called Mikes, and since there was only 1 floor now, the line was too big to wait in. But looking through the window, it looked like it sucked. hard. They pushed the bar all the way back to the wall, so it looks like a trendy night club or something. Fuck them. Oh yeah, and fuck the cougs for Coug'n it again. We left early to watch them finish off UCLA at the Coug, and surprise, surprise, they coughed up the lead. again.

Pluses to the weekend in Pullman:
The Coug
Bob who owns The Coug, because we can legitimately say "we know the owner."
Drinking from 9-1...AM on both those times...thats right, over 15 hours.
Cougar Country....hhhmmmm, burgers
64 oz beers at Sellas...hmmm, calzones
the downstairs bathroom at KD's (no abby, go upstairs, Gina's already in there...)
Me and Jose were easily the drunkest people at Sellas...and we ordered the biggest beers... (P.S. Jose, I have your 64 oz mason jar you "borrowed")
I won $5 off USC, and didn't bet on the cougs so I lost no money on them.

Negatives to the weekend in Pullman:
It takes up like 7 hours to get there
Shakers is no longer shakers, and still has a long ass line
I didnt get any pizza pipeline
Abby was too hungover for us to get Cougar Country on the way out of town
I spent way over 100 bucks getting there and back. $2.89 a gallon can suck my nuts
I didnt get to visit the downstairs bathroom at KD's...
