I haven’t blogged in a couple of weeks. Not because I haven’t had anything to say. But maybe because there has been too much to say. Does that make sense? Probably not. Let me just say that life has been a 120mph rollercoaster lately. Nothing bad. Actually good things. Just very busy.
Anyway, so let me get back into te swing of blogging. And share with you all something I found online. This is a 1970 ad from Subaru. Read the whole thing. Almost reads like something out of a romance novel. Uh,… at least I imagine it would be like this…
I know most people out there are disgusted with it. But I think it’s pretty damned funny! It’s amazing how different things were in the 70s. Maybe I find it amusing because of how politically incorrect I am to begin with. Who knows.
If any females out there are truly offended by this ad, maybe you should ask yourself this: Are you a spirited woman? And do you yearn to be tamed?

Most of you don’t know this, but the series Scrubs has come to an end. Why wouldn’t you know that? Because no one was watching it anymore. Hence, the series ending. Now that that is cleared up…
I finally got around to seeing the finale. Probably one of the best series finales I’ve ever scene. Made the Seinfeld and Sopranos finales look, well… they already sucked. So whatever is worse than sucking. Anyway, above you can see the last few minutes of the show. I like how they brought out so many of the show’s repeat characters there. Nice way to give them props. Anyway, if you ever watched the show, you will appreciate it. If you never did, then you’re definitely going to think J.D. (Zach Braff’s character) was pretty friggin’ gay.
So that’s it for Scrubs. I’ll have to find my laughs elsewhere. I hope The Office is up to the challenge.

This Saturday I am running in the Beach to Bay relay marathon in Corpus Christi, TX. Am I ready for it? Hell no. But I am part of a team that is relying on me and I gotta do what I gotta do. And right about now, that mostly consists of not dying.
I have been doing some running in preperation for this weekend. What I’ve noticed is that I don’t do well when I run on a track. I do much better when I am on a treadmill or running from point A to point B. For some reason, I can’t run in a circle. Or at least I can’t do it with any consistency. Another thing is that I find myself running better in the heat. I have ran at night, but it just gets too cool and that slight breeze that you would think would be welcome actually bothers me. I can’t explain it. I know it doesn’t make sense. Any of you experience anything like that?
I’m a little bummed out that I had ordered a handheld HD camera on Amazon with the hopes of having it this weekend. So far, it hasn’t arrived. The worst part is that I ordered it in early April. I knew they were backordered, but I had hopes anyway. So that leaves me with my trusty old Sony Cybershot. I’ll be posting pics of the event later.
Feel free to wish me luck. I will need plenty of it.

Check out what they did at CollegeHumor.com. This video rocks! Set to the tune of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire, it basically gives you a rundown of what we experience in the comments sections of various websites. You know what I’m talking about. When one commenter insults another commenter. Hillarity ensues. If you have spent any decent amount of time on the internet, you will love this.
I do need to mention that some of you will be offended by the video. Especially you politically correct types. Which makes it that more enjoyable for me. 
If you don’t for some reason get this, then you should just give up the internet thing all together. And also you should stop trying to control your DVR with your garage door opener. Technology doesn’t like you either.

So in Europe, they have Burger King. And therefore they have the Whopper. Not to be mistaken with the Royale with cheese. Anyway, so they are promoting a new Whopper over there called “the Texican”. Get it? Me niether. Just watch the video.
So this has Mexicans everywhere furious. I’m not sure why. They should be flattered that Europeans obviously dig the Texican. Are they mad at the stereotype? That maybe Mexicans are short? I don’t see any Texans all huffing and puffing because Eruos think all Texans are cowboys.
My official advice to all pissed off Mexicans is simple. STFU! You are the same ones that told Americans to take a chill pill when Absolut vodka had that bullshit magazine ad implying that in a perfect world a big chunk of the U.S. would still belong to Mexico. So, please. Spare us.
For what it’s worth, I personally do not assume all Mexicans are masked, midget wrestlers. There are actually some pretty hot Mexican females over there! Sad thing is to have a shot with them, you need to be a masked wrestler. Not necessarily a short one, though. But the mask plays…

Happy Easter to everyone! That means it’s the end of Lent. Whew. This year was tough.
I ended up keeping up with no eating of red meat, no drinking of sweet tea, and of course no shaving or haircuts. I’m definitely not doing the latter again. Damn it sucked. And I’m amazed I made it. The image below is my best attempt to chronicle the no shaving/haircut struggle. Yikes. I know it’s ugly. And I heard plenty of jokes along the way. But maybe you have some new material. So if you feel so inclined, let’s hear it…
Anyway, I’m off to get a haircut. And dinner will consist of a nice thick, juicy steak. Washed down with an ice cold glass of sweet tea. Hmmm. It just occurred to me that being Easter and all, maybe some businesses to help me accomplish these things could be closed. Crap.

I don’t watch a lot of TV. If it’s not The Office, Scrubs, or sports, I’m doing other stuff. Which explains why I don’t watch C.S.I. I have seen parts of a couple of episodes, and the concept of the show is pretty cool. But it’s hard to keep it all straight. There is a C.S.I. New York, another one in Miami, C.S.I. Budapest is slotted to come out in the fall, etc. Too much effort needed towards TV. I’d rather go outside.
Anyway, I have some friends who work in a different department from me in my company. And the head trainer there is cooking something up with a C.S.I. theme. And while doing that, it looks like he got a few of them to pose for what can only be described as promo pics for the show. And one of the pics leaked…
My hats off to all of them, because I don’t think I could have kept a straight face. They all look so damn cool. So smug. So confident. So glamorous. Chances are they will never speak to me again. Either because they’ve gone Hollywood and are too good to talk to me, or because they are mad that I posted this pic online. I’ll have to explain to them that no one reads this blog. Hopefully that calms them down. Seriously though, I could swear a couple of them are now wearing their sunglasses indoors.
Great pic, guys. My only suggestion for next time? Guns. Sweet, sexy guns…

I hope everyone gets to do a good pranking today. And if it’s better than the one above, I hope you got it on video.
