Now, where was I? Oh, yes, here's where i left off: I think i was trying to say "my family is very good" en español, as I must have a HUGE Hispanic readership based on the e-mails I receive. Granted, the e-mails are mostly the same ol' "If you have a small penis, you have trouble getting said penis erect, I would like to loan you money against your home so we can solve all these problems and

It has been well over a year since I've posted here, but It feels so good to know that Blogger never forgets. Apparently Google doesn't forget you either. My old computer crashed, and since it was so slooooooow! I didn't think this one would be any faster since I am using the same crappy dial up access. There won't be any photos for a while as i have lost access to the lab w/photoshop, and

There is an older gentleman who comes into my store twice a week to fill up the vending machines, and over time we've become friends. We'll tell each other lame jokes, but this guy is a master of the ol' bait the hook, reel 'em in long story lame jokes.He said to me last week "Did I ever tell you about the time I was downtown in the hospital district and an ambulance came flying by with its back

I really had thought I had seen every type of humanity come through the door at my place of business. I was wrong. This guy came in to the store one morning with a "I had a mullet yesterday, but I got it cut s'mornin" hair cut, a walrus type moustache, mirrored RayBans, a camouflage tee shirt that was cut off just below the chest exposing his beer gut, a cigarette dangling from his lips, cut

In the city where I work, Trimarc has these lighted electronic overhead signs that give you traffic information. Mostly they just tell you the state's highway fatalities thus far, or to tell you to buckle up and drive smart. These things are over every interstate generally within a few miles of the next major interchange. these things are funded by our tax dollars. Also, if you live near the

Ok, this one is short. No photos. Just a small rant. I just got finished playing a multiplayer online game called Psychobabble. It is loads of fun if you find the right room, even more fun if they are playing "themes". When you find a good room, invariably there is someone who comes in with a username like "sohott4u" or "hotchikxxx" who will try to "whisper" to you, get a private chat going or

This is outside the auction facility where people piled their junk they just bought. at least I think they bought this stuff, maybe they were hoping it would all blow away on the breeze. If you like this photojournalism aspect of the grumbleghoul website, good. If you don't, good. I can't be funny all the time. Heck, you'd probably say I wasnt funny in the first place.

Today is the second day of inventory at the parts warehouse where I work. If I had to guess, I'd say that there were 10+million dollars worth of parts to inventory. The counts on the big items go by very quickly, however. The small stuff takes awhile to get counted, but it's a lot easier than you'd think.

The book is called ERAGON . when I found out that the author started on this novel at the age of fifteen, and is nineteen now, I thought to myself: "Just how good can this book be?" even though it is based upon a large amount of fantasy fiction cliché it was very well written, well rounded characters, and enough descriptive scenery to create a whole new world to explore. the fantasy fiction

Dogs gotta poop. A litterbox fiasco the kitties just wont let us live down. About a week ago, we had a massive oil leak from our lawn mower. What did we use to clean it up? You got it, Kitty Litter! How much of it idi we use? All of it. Why did we use all of it? Because it was a big spill. And we use the cheap stuff you buy in those fifty pound bags. we were down to the last. Guess

When I get home from a grueling day at work, my cat, Dazey, runs to greet me. She's a orange tabby who is rather plump. I call her my "fuzzy pumpkin" and I thought since it was close to halloween, I'd tell you how this cat makes my day. she always greets me by the back door. I pick her up and hold her like a baby, moving her hind feet out of the way of her fat belly, I then lower my face into her

I just spent three days in Cincinnati Ohio at my work's warehouse there. I get to go home today. the first night there, I went out to a comedy club where one of our delivery drivers goes on stage weekly. I arrived At the club about a half hour before they opened the doors for the performers, and since I was there, all the amateur comedians kept asking me,"Hey man, You goin' up tonight?" I had to

I woke up before the alarm this morning feeling rather good. I rolled over on my side to spoon with my wife before I actually had to get up and get ready. After I showered and dressed, I gathered my things already prepared for my long daily commute, kissed my wife, and headed out the door. My first stop of the morning was at the gas station around the corner from my house to cash a check so I

Just spent a half hour helping my grandpa with his computer, for someone who wasn't around them a whole lot he is very computer literate. When he gets stumped tho, he calls for me or the Mrs. To be honest we usually are only showing him shortcuts to get him where he wants to be, and usually he figures it out before i can get there very cool... gotta go for now J

I have recently discovered BBC radio online. This site has lots of British comedy. Iss wunnerful to lissen to some'un spea'in' th' Queen's english.

Well, another 4th of July holiday weekend has passed marking yet another year I've made it through without losing a digit! Yessiree, I made it through the whole weekend without blowing myself up. Oh sure there were the usual array of bottle rockets, M80's, and firecrackers to delight and amuse all who attended. Since the alcohol was flowing pretty freely, I was sure that my sober ass was gonna be

I realise most people, when they play poker, they play for money. Sometimes just penny ante, sometimes the stakes are higher. But as for my friends and I, we play for chocolate. Our first poker night was extremely fun as we got to know some new people in the group. I tried to bluff on every hand and the guys knowing me well enough called... often. I left without much chocolate. However, the fun

This weekend the company I work for is putting on a golf scramble and tech seminar. This means I have to work late Friday night and all day Saturday. This means golden opportunities abound for me to not have much fun. This means that I'll just get on with it and get over it. This is the last line of this blog beginning with "this.". This is me using "this" to start another line. This is

I got to sleep in this morning, the first saturday morning i've gotten to in months. it was wonderful. If you know me at all you know that i drive an hour and a half each way to and from work daily, plus put in an eight to nine hour day five days a week. I rarely get home before 7:30 work nights, and by the time I get unwound and fed and play on this darn thing, it is midnight. I get up at 6:30

I really don't know what to post this week, I've been scouring the net for something that amuses me, and I can't find it. Somehow I must be missing something, because if you know anything about me at all, you know I am just about the most easily amused person on earth. I generally am able to find something humerous in just about any situation. I guess i've got a case of writers block. I guess

Well, Here it is, an hour past my bedtime and I' still up! Cruising the web, checking stuff out. Trying to find something that amused me. I found it! the headline should have read: MICHAEL KNIGHT ARRESTED FOR DUI. Kit was pissed!. Apparently ol' David Hasselhoff, France's favorite actor, was allegedly driving erratically down Hollywood boulevard. The police pulled him over immediately. the

Tomorrow, my daughter turns one year old. A whole year went past, a lot of changes came about. AND IT HAPPENED WHILE MY HEAD WAS TURNED!! I'm not saying that I wasn't there, just that it went by so quickly I feel I must have missed a bunch of something that must have been going on in the background. It amazes me now how quickly time passes now that I'm older. When I was young, the summer lasted

When ordering a steak, do not order the poor slab o'beef well done. It is an insult to your tastebuds and also to the bovine creature who gave up its life to feed you. If you must eat something with no redness or blood, may I suggest trying a "fillet of sole" straight from your beautiful new boots, or just cut a section of leather out of your jacket to gnaw on.
