honkin cold!

it is almost -30 out and it causes me to wonder, why arnt people more dependant on hot air balloons? even the name sounds great. hot air! i want to be in a balloon full of hot air. perhaps if we had a rope and pulley system and all we would have to do is push a butten and away we go. see, never get lost. every accident would produce, instead of twisted metal and smashed plastic, a satisfying thwump sound and enormous giggling! not to mention you would be able to sleep on your way to work! all toasty and warm! All I'm sayin is we need to think about this



just sayin

also, 7/11 hot dogs are awful. they taste like people smell

any questions?

drove an hour to Brandon to go to a princess auto (as well as other places) and was disappointed. my advise is, drive a shorter distance into Winnipeg and go to a better store. But not all was lost cuz i bought an orange balacleva! awsome

subs and stuff

i was doing a hospital visit on Friday (everyone is fine) and the surgery went way long. i walked through a mall for about 3 hrs while i waited and figured out 2 things. #1 i don't like being in malls for 3 hrs (no good car stores)(but i do like the store that sells all the stuff that is on infomercials that are not available in stores) and #2, cell phone stores suck. they wanted to make me pay $30.00 to get a sim card installed. for those of you that don't know, a sim card slides into a slot like a credit card in your wallet and that's it. no big deal. just push it in and we are good to go. it takes about 10 seconds, maybe, and you have just avoided $30.00. i explained that i would not pay any such fee and i would turn around and walk out of the store if they tried to make me pay. they didn't believe me and then i walked out. so now i still need a new phone and i am fine with that. So after the hospital visit (everyone is fine ) i drove to a store to buy a gift for my son (its his birthday today) and looked over to the left where i saw a store called krazy krazy. it must be getting hard to name stores. but anyway, i walked in and saw a wall of subwoffers in boxes, they were $50.00! now to put this in perspective, subs cost at the low end $75.00 and boxes start at about $100.00 and both go way way up from there. now the problem i have is that in my jeep there are no speakers capable of any type of lower frequency music (base) this is because of space restrictions (as in there is none) so the speakers are way small the problem is that behind the back seat is so shallow that no sub box will fit. THAT IS UNTIL NOW!! Charlie, (my jeep) now has some bottom end in the music. it has a very cheep sub in a box that sounds not too bad. I installed it in my new not finished garage. I have about 60 percent of the garage up.it needs power, insulation, sheeting, heat, doors, and windows but none of that matters cuz i put a sub in a jeep IN MY NEW SHOP. Cheep and it fits. Awesome.

Yesterday I went to a wedding and it wasn't too bad. Samantha Dennis and Vince Andersen tied the proverbial knot in a touching ceremony. This one wasn't a bad wedding because I knew a great deal of people there, since Samantha is a cousin of the Ralphs, a family that is basically my second family, so I knew many of the extended family that was there. It was kind of fun.Also, Pete and I got to be the MCs afterwards. We played around a bit, including doing a skit of how Vince proposed. I played Samantha, and as such, I wore a wig and a dress. A dress with a green flowery print all over it. A dress that did not fit around my shoulders and which featured sleeve holes that would not let my hands through because they were too small. It was fun, though. Not the wearing a dress part per say, but doing the skit in general. Although, I have to say it was too hot. It's my fault for wearing black, but still. That was ridiculous. Actually, it was only too hot when standing in the direct sunlight, or when the breeze stopped blowing in the windows during the reception. So it was only too hot about half of the time. Which was still tough for the bride in a dress that featured enough material to make a decent sized tent (it had a train on it, and there always seems to be so much extra material on wedding dresses, like the bride is trying to hide in there). And all of the bridesmaids got sunburned on their shoulders. Felt kinda bad for them.Well, cowabunga and all that. See ya next time.Oh yeah, my name was spelled in the program like it is in the Title of this BLOG. That is the most unique spelling of my name ever!

i sat at my house and thought, mmm time for a night of pointless stupid relaxing!








it shall be done!

i also had icecream
