I Will End You

Good eve Peeps!  As we speak, YOUR Green Bay Packers are just killing Jason’s Cowboys.  My how the mighty have fallen….couldn’t happen to a nicer team, however. 

So the beginning of another week is upon us.  I think with this whole shift in time has me off my internal clock.  I am definitely off kilter…just feeling pretty run down and I haven’t really done enough to get to that point.  I loved having the extra hour to sleep, but I’m fairly sure I’m not a fan of the early sunset.  It literally looks like it is 4pm when the clock shows noon.  *sigh*  Is it Summer yet?

I can safely say this….bacon rules.

So I am heading to San Francisco this Wednesday.  I am excited, but feel like the excitement will only build as the flight draws closer.  I love the idea of these spur of the moment trips, now that I’ve overcome my fear of flying (which was simple, since I had just never flown before 2009).  I am excited to try some new foods, see some sights, and share some laughs with my travel companion, Jen.  I think Alcatraz is in the works, as is that sweet curved hill (Lombardi St.?) and the Golden Gate Bridge.  However, if I get taken out by one of those toner ink cartridge bombs, I may be a bit crabby.

You know what is always awkward and funny at the same time?  People confusing friends as couples or, even better, married couples.  I get a good chuckle out that, but it does hurt a bit when the other person is almost so apoplectic in the denial.  You get the “Oh him?  OH no…no no no…(insert laughing here) Nooo.  We are just friends.”  I mean obviously there will be the correction made, but when it is that adamant, one can’t help but feel like…wow really?  I mean I know I’m not exactly marriage material at this point, but it is like I’m the last person on Earth that would even be considered for marriage.  I think I’ve had about 4-5 females give me that reaction so far (i.e. vehement denial).  Ah well.  It bothers me for a bit but I’m over it.  It does just go to reinforce my status as the bachelor for life and/or cat person.  But how could one not be a cat person with pictures like this?

LOLZ!!!!  So cute!

So I’m going to have to get my knee checked out.  I went for a run earlier in the week and made it about a mile and a half before I started feeling a twinge in my knee.  I proceeded to walk for a little while then tried “finishing up strong,” which just led me to running the last mile in pain and having a limp afterwards and for a day or two following.  I think I tweaked my knee back in a 5K in September….since I haven’t been able to run consistently since then without being in some pain.  I’ve got an appointment in a week or so to get checked….I’m hoping it just needs some rest, but I did take like 2 weeks off from running and it apparently wasn’t enough.  Ah well. 

Green Bay this weekend was quite fun for Mr. Lish’s b-day.  Saw “Due Date” in theaters….love me some Robert Downey Jr.  Not quite at the level of the Hangover, but good nonetheless.  Some priceless moments with Mr. Downey.  I’m convinced he can do no wrong.  We (including Amy and my roommate Jason) then hit up dinner and saw a comedy improv group (Comedy City).  Plus, Mr. Lish made up breakfast in the morning.  Really, how can one go wrong?  Tip of the cap to you, Mr. Lish!

A song by Goldfinger just came up on Pandora called “Stalker.” In it, the main lyric is “I want to marry my stalker.”  I don’t want to marry my stalker.  :P

Well, that’s all the randomness I can really think of for now.  I’m a little tired actually.  Time to take my old man pills and hit the hay.  You Peeps take care for now, eh?

We’ve Got Ourselves A SituNation Here….

Good Friday eve, to you Peeps!  Hope the crisp Wisconsin air finds you all properly winterized.  Or not.

So it seems the blogging Gods are not pleased with my presence here on the interwebs again.  Literally a day or two after reposting my first blog in eons….my computer decided it was done and puttered out.  I took it fairly calmly and relied on my iPod Touch for roughly two weeks before my coworker, the awesome Todd L helped me install a new power source and boom.  Back to new.  Back up and running and ready to spread more madness.  Or more of this:

Yep, I went there. ;)

Anyway, I should start with what’s new.  Halloween just happened.  So did this:

Yep, we’ve got ourselves a SituNation!  :)  The 2010 costume, clearly with no relation to those hacks from THE Jersey Shore…some GTL (and skin cancer) later, we’ve got ourselves a SituNation.  Those are REAL abs, folks.  Eat your heart out, P90X!  :P

All kidding aside, Halloween 2010 was a blast.  Heidi and Kyle were excellent hosts (along with Jason of course, who spearheaded the efforts).  Excellent venue, excellent music, excellent peeps.  For the first time in probably 2-3 years, I didn’t make a completely asshat of myself.  Other great costumes….Amy rocked the Awoww look amazingly.  Wally D was rocking the joint as well.  Snooki (aka Jason) took the prize for most awesomely ridiculous.  Antoine Dodson (aka Dan) was legit in the look, though the lines were…shaky.  Ke$ha (aka Jen) showed up to be trashy…err…I mean classy. ;)  There was a pirate girl, the Orbit gum girl, the mile high club girl, a retarded sperm, a Ruskie, Double Rainbow, A dude on a horse, Winnie the Pooh, Zombie Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, 2 James Bonds(!), and more.  Really it ran the gamut.  The Pinata got smacked down, with minimal injuries.  Much dancing commenced.  Only one drunken fall occurred as well.  Overall, it will be hard to top that party, that’s for sure.

One other topic that has been on my mind…is my habit of being a bit too….overbearing.  There are times where I just feel like I’m in a….social mood?  It doesn’t even involve me being drunk or anything.  I’ve just found that in the past year plus that I’ve been more outgoing and upbeat…  Sometimes I find myself possibly overtexting or oversharing on the ZOMGfacebooks.  I mean no harm by this obviously, but I can see how I come across as creeptastic/stalkerish, therefore I must apologize if anyone has felt this way.  Maybe it is a hidden side effect of feeling lonely sometimes as well…who knows.  At any rate, I don’t mean to be a stalker so again, my humblest apologies to anyone who I may have offended, etc.

Onto brighter topics.  I like doing things.  One of my goals is to hit up all 50 states…and Canada.  I believe I have hit…let’s see….6-8 states?  Only really had substantial time in like 3-4 of them.  At any rate, I’m planning to hit all the states at some point.  San Fran next week, so that’s what, 1/50th of Cali?  Las Vegas again next year hopefully. I also want to travel abroad.  Japan, Europe, Australia, etc.  Road trips are on the plan as well.  I’ll have to finish putting my Bucket List together.  Tiffany, however, is really making the whole bucket list thing look easy ;).

Onto politics.  They are f’ed up, that’s all I have to say about that.  I’m sure I’ll have a rant on that someday, but it is late and the wine/5-hour energy is wearing off, so it is almost time for bed.

One last thing…be on the lookout.  I’ll try to post some sweet HOTlinks here.  Maybe other things besides cat pictures….because I’m really going to end up as a cat person eventually.  :P

That’s all I’ve got for now.  For now….You are just….

You are only smoke and mirrors….
