I'm curious as to why my comment numbers are so low. I'm going to venture a guess. You are all consumers. You take and take without ever offering to replenish the source from where your entertainment came...That's cool. Be that way...We'll see who has all the fun...Ok you got me, it's you. Sorry. I'm going back to my hole.

Alcohol Update
Another Update. Welcome.
Boddington's Pub Ale.
A beer drinkers' beer, with a pleasant taste and a hearty body. An offering from Strangeways Brewery in Manchester, UK. I am of the school of thought, the infallibility of Wikipedia is only surpassed by the Holy Bible, that being said WikiWorld says the Strangeways Brewery was founded by two grain merchants looking to avoid paying a grain tax in the 1700's. Smart beer by smart beer guys. This beer is an any occasion beer. I had one with a turkey sandwich and had about three during a movie I was watching. It's not even 5.0% alcohol so drinking a couple to ensure you never forget it isn't a big deal. If you're having difficulty finding it throw me a comment and I'll have my people run down a location for you. Thanks for reading.
Happy Drinking,

A Down Trodden View...But Only Just....
I'm sitting in my kitchen. I'm not cooking or eating, that just happens to be where my laptop is hooked up.
I did however cook earlier in the evening and it was amazing. I'm a fan of creating my own rubs for steak. I'd like to say I made one, but I merely added to an already fantastic steak rub. It was the Montreal-salt free. Not sure who makes it but it was my base and to it I added: oregano, garlic salt, and chili powder. It was dandy.
To the post...
I'm out of it, man, seriously. I'm feeling like I work to often for too little. I'm under-sexed, over-bored, under-slept, over-tired and just ready for a vacation. I feel I work too many hours, when the reality of it is, I work just as many hours as any other full-time employee of anywhere non-military-40. It just feels like more.
For those of you who are out of the loop by you're own carelessness or by my over-sight in not publicizing the fact I'm getting married on the 20th of September in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Eight. I am and there isn't anything I can do about it. I know. You're saying, "Dude, if you don't want it, leave!" I know; kind, compassionate reader, I'm able to leave if I wanted to. I don't and am actually looking forward to one vagina and one case of morning breath for the rest of my earthly life. Ah. Life. Breathe it in. It feels, fresh, stale, magical, mundane and everything I want it to be. BOOM! Marriage: available in you local life with someone with the opposite plumbing as you...
I'm not sleeping; I'm sleepy, just not sleeping.
School; for all of you who are done with it, I envy you. It's killing me. I've mentioned this before lately so I won't dwell on it at this point but expect a full rundown after this semester.
Wanna buy some tools? I'm working at Grainger right now and boy do I sell tools...man. I put an order in today for 300 traffic cones, at $26 a pop, translates into about 8k worth of traffic cones. I squabbled with a costumer who came in the other day. I told him he should throw down some of his rich uncle's money on a big air compressor. I suggested such a purchase because I know this gentleman uses pneumatic tools. I looked over the compressor and told me, "That's too big, what am I supposed to do with a compressor that big?"
"Bolt it into the back of a truck," I quipped.
"Nah, I can get one just as powerful that takes up less space," He responded.
"Doubt it, but we can look," I offered. At which point I pulled up our database and showed him our selection of air compressors. We happened to find one, smaller and equally powerful as the first one I suggested to him.
"See, I told you I know more about compressors than you," the man challenged.
"It seems you are right, but hardly the victor," I mused "You fail to realize that it makes no difference to me which compressor you prefer, so long as you buy it from me." To that he laughed and bought 4k worth of welding equipment.
Who said selling stuff is hard? They lie.
Well...I'm out.

Love the Skin Yer In....Because I do....
I'm amazed on a daily basis as I look at the women I come in contact with. Some of the things women do, wear, and/or associate themselves with is painful. Not for me, so much as for them.
I'll give them the fact, society isn't really on their side when it comes to image, accessories and all the other accouterments that come with being a modern woman.
But seriously, the 5'3", 370lb. woman wearing stilettos I just passed in the community college, hallway needs to wise up. You aren't Carrie from Sex in the City and a size zero wouldn't fit around your wrist. I'm not making fun, I'm merely bringing to light an epidemic in society. The images women try to up hold are ridiculous. It doesn't once occur to women who watch; Sex in the City, Gilmore Girls, or the host of other drivel shows on TV, that those shows are cast, shot and watched by other women. When they see the Gilmore Girls sitting around with each other sobbing, watching Gone with the Wind for the umpteenth time and eating Moose Tracks out of the gallon, they are watching with tons of other chicks. It's comedic and tragic, how strictly women adhere to the 'social norms' set forth in those program when they talk about what men want. How can Carries' perpetually single/depressed self possibly be the go-to on what men want?
Men's shows and magazines aren't very helpful either. Maxim, the now defunct FHM, Details (when they aren't being GAY.), etc, are on the cutting edge of teaching normal guys 'how-to date supermodels' or the ever popular "Ordinary Dude, Extra-Ordinary Chick" and guys eat it up, like a gallon of tear-soaked Moose Tracks.
Not to be bragadocious but I've been with a few chicks. I'll wait while you interject your sophomoric, Maxim-esque joke about my cleverly named hands, family members or me maybe being from West Virginia. You want to know who the best was?
All of them. For that time in my life they were the best. The true best is the one I'm engaged to right now, but at the time each one of them was what I needed. The same holds true for everyone. The one you're with so long as they aren't criminals, beating you or spending all of your money are perfect. Everyone is scrounging around trying to find the ONE. The one for you won't be the one for me and vise-versa. Mandy wouldn't have been the perfect one if I had met her at any other time than when I did. The same with her, I wasn't her the ONE two years ago or even 15min before we met. When you find the one, the ONE ends up being the one you feel the most comfortable with. The one you can't see yourself without. Everyone has their own criteria and that's fine...Just don't glean it from a night-time drama or a trash rag.
I'm sure I can find more to say about this but I have to get to class...
