nas-ty

ok, i don't think i'm eating catfish anymore ... it was never my favorite, but i liked it. i just saw how they catch them on dirty jobs ... then came the cleaning. i'm sure other fish are similar ... but yikes, that was nasty

brw, i have no idea who this guy is ... but he looks happy, doesn't he?

i'm hurt ... i'm pissed ... gotta find a new job

i can't believe i didn't find this picture for my under pressure post a few weeks ago! (i fixed it)

speaking of grosse pointe, i'm going to a friend's wedding in may, and i'm thinking of going with the all black, "early in the movie before the reunion" suit.

Peanut Butter Jelly 2006

peanut butter jelly time updated for 2006! i love the special apperance by jax

enigma

no, i don't mean the music that's playing in some freshman's dorm somewhere, i mean me. i think people who don't know me too well (or some that think they do) can't figure me out sometimes, and hell, i can't figure myself out half the time. sometimes i'm totally content, and sometimes i feel like i'm missing the boat, or am missing or have missed opportunity. there's a lot that goes on in my head that stays there, and that's probably not a good thing ... or maybe it is. hmm....

appearing tonight at valentis ...

ok, i can't tell if this guy is money, or a total loser. quite a conundrum. the wrist bands are key though.

the crowd reaction reminds me of the barbershop in the "electric guitar, drums, or electric piano" chappelle skit

swamp thing

some guy pulled this TWO MOUTHED TROUT out of a river in idaho i think. he was planning on eating it. i love rainbow trout, but ummm, maybe I would have thrown this one back

inside the damon negotiations....

"larry ... ummm ... larry ... ummm i got ummm ants on my brother's ummm walls larry. show me the ummm money larry! i better get ummm brian cashman on the phone!"

tps reports

does anyone else have a job that nobody understands when they ask you, "what do you do?" when i say i'm a test engineer i get blank stares. then i usually have to go through the "do you have a cellphone? you want it to work when you get it right?" then they sort of get it. i don't really care that much, but it's kinda weird when people really have no idea what you do ...

my take on the johnny damon press conference

red sox, red sox, red sox, red sox, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, red sox, red sox, but i'm really happy to be a yankee

i, i, i, i, i, i'm the best leadoff hitter, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, oh, jeter's ok too

i meant a lot to the boston fans, they're going to be crushed

hey johnny jesus, you should also know that no player is above the team either. like clemens and pedro didn't mean a lot to us?

let's get coco crisp baby! it would be worth it just to hear that four times a night!


for you new readers, don't forget my "hey black hamma!" post from april

yikes

this is bad ... nice pink bathrobe. hey michelle, do you follow him into the bathroom too? is he doing a guest spot on the oc?

funyuns

why hasn't anyone opened a gas n' sip yet? i would get gas there all the time just to say i went to the gas n' sip.

"got ditched in the malibu doesn't know what to do...."

i forgot montreal ..

i've been to montrael too ... i forgot to put that in my other post

tar-jay

what's up with the target in salem nh? i've shat there like 6 times now, the latest being today. one time i ran from the car so fast that i threw the car door to close it and it didn't quite close, but i kept going ... ponderous

who am i?

i'm going to see les miserables again in feb, and i was listening to "who am i" and it got me thinking, who the hell am i? lately i feel like nothing more than employee 562935 (not quite 24601, but that is my employee number). anyway i feel like i'm just going though the paces lately ... being shipped all over north america, getting thrown into things, etc. i still can't friggin breathe and i'm so limited in what i can eat that i eat nuts most of the time, but that's making me gain weight. last week in dallas i ate tuna and black beans for every meal sun-thur. wtf is that?
i feel like my life's going nowhere ... sleep, work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, fly to toronto, eat, work, work, work, work, fly back from toronto, work, sleep.

i was mildly excited to start a project in january, a 6 month project. it would have been difficult, and probably put in tucson for a month, but it would have been worthwhile and something specific to do. it got cancelled ... the customer's going to do it themselves.

maybe 06 will be better than 04-05. i'm keeping my fingers crossed ...

what part of the chicken do rings come from ...

harold and kumar go to white castle is classic ....

if you don't know what the hell the subject is about they actually sell "chicken rings" at white castle. i finally saw a sonic last week in dallas too. they're drive ins, like 50's drive ins ... the people come out to your car.

"i'm not sweating anymore..."

suck on my chocolate salty balls

me as a south park character ... thanks el!

under pressure

i met my 6 month old cousin last week .. and i had a total grosse pointe blank moment .. the part where he's at the reunion and holding the baby and looking at it. i was looking at the baby and holding her the same way ... she was looking at me not knowing what to expect .. and grabbing at my beard. it was pretty nuts, seeing her face and wondering what she was thinking. her major concern of the day was "who the hell is this guy and what's growing on his face." pretty amazing how people go from that to writing blogs about how they can't breathe and they have a leaky gut and might have seen someone get shot on washington st. the old cycle of life.

my cousin brigitte who's the baby's mom said to me "do you like kids?" to which i replied "only when they're related to me."

places i've been

since i'm in dallas this week, it got me to thinking about the major places in the world i've been (meaning not like, dover, ma, but cities/countries). this is what i can think of for now....

states/cities:

nh
vt
me
ct
ri
ny
fl (tampa, orlando)
nj
dallas
chicago
detroit (layover)
vegas ... baby
san diego
paris
brussels
osaka (layover)
taiwan (ugh)
london

true, ass milk wasn't available, but nothing a little cut and paste can't fix!

new plates

thanks mr poon for pointing out this site where you can check for personalized plates in NY. they actually print an image if it's available:


for all you chappelle fans, i tried for "ass milk" but it wouldn't let me do it. "your license plates are soooooooooo ready!!!"

results of my personality test from sugarmrpoon.com

You are... That Guy!!!

Familiar yet nameless, you navigate film and TV roles with ease.
You are famous to the extent that you are instantly recognizable,
yet completely nameless. In short, you are "That Guy."
You come from a long line of distinguished (but not too distinguished) actors and actresses.
Now and then your treasured anonymity works against you -- you occasionally
alienate friends when you cause them to forget your name.
Your strong exterior hides the fragile ego of one who has mastered
his or her craft but who is forced to live without the instant street cred of a Julia Roberts
or a Howie Mandel. But press on, friend, for you are one of the greats.
NB: That is Philip Baker Hall, not you. You are not that guy, you are "That Guy."
