Blah, blah, blah

Well, I have taken some time off from the teaching to work on the farm for a while. Some of you may scoff, but I like it. More updates to come on that front. I don't really need to hear the same old jokes again, so don't post one unless you have some original material. If you've got a good (new) one, I'd love to hear it! I have to say, of all the occupations where you hear the same old stupid jokes, my friends the Woody's have it the worst. Everyone who knows them should call them right now and say, "Hey, guys, how's business? Are people dying to get in?" That would really brighten my day. Why was my day so dark? Well, it was foggy all day.

In other news, Julie and I are celebrating our first wedding anniversary this weekend. Translation: I only have 2 shopping days left! If I don't get her something good, this could be our first, and last anniversary. I'm not saying we would get divorced... I fully expect her to kill me if I blow this one.

I really wanted to get her this great painting that my friend Ed did. It is almost completely red, and that is her favorite color. The only problem is, there is totally a demon face in it. Last year, I told him I would buy it if he could fix it somehow, but he said no. Sorry, Ed. I am a fan of all his work, though, and think everone should check it out.

DOH!

The day started out bad. I woke up at 2 am with a migrane, so I got up and took my medicine and went back to bed. It only got worse from there. Still a little foggy from my medicine, I went out to my car about 10 am. I needed to meet my father-in-law about some farm work he wants me to do at 12 and was going to run some errands first. As my car is warming up, I am giving it the daily once-over. Tires look good. Didn't get broken into last night. Engine sounds ok. Paint job still looks terrible. Trash all over the inside is still there. Then I noticed the steady stream of oil flowing from somewhere under the hood onto the asphault. We're not talking a few drips here, we're talking a morning pee after a long night of drinking stream. "This is not good," I thought to myself.
Things didn't get much better from there. I guess some days are just like that.
If anyone wants to buy me a 2006 Toyota Tundra Access Cab 4x4 SR5 V8 (blue or black paint w/ light charcoal gray interior), I would be happy to accept it. Although, I don't think I can even afford to pay the taxes on it.

Something to Keep You Occupied

Here's a fun way to calculate what those nights out add up to.
And here is some of the most hilarious marketing for food I have ever seen.
How bout a one-in-a-million shot?
