On Second Thought

I am watching a little Food Network, enjoying a few new shows. Then I start to wonder, what happens when they try something that tastes bad? All you ever see is people trying restraunts all over the country tell the camera that the food is so good.
I want to be the guy who goes in to a place and tell them they're food tastes like shit! I want to sit down with a big plate of steaming food; "Oh, it smells so good! I love old world cooking!" I say with enthusiasium. I take a big bite,"Mmmm" I say. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" as my eyes pop out of my head. "This tasts like shit! Who the fuck do you have cooking back there?" I exclaim in amazement. "I have never wanted to vomit form Veil Parmesian, but this is just nasty! This veil! is slimy! Am I getting punked?"
Yeah that would be great.

Sorry I haven't posted

Guys,
I am sorry I haven't posted. I really have had nothing happen to me worth talking about. Work is going really well. I am booking new customers, setting up systems, learning all sorts of things I didn't know that I didn't know.
I have to tell you, my prejudice towards Drivers is getting tougher. I understand where prejudice comes from. I see where frustration turn to resentment to prejudice.
I just read an article that said as many people are moving out of North Dakota as Michigan. I find that hard to believe. If that is true, Bismark should be a ghost town by Friday.

I will try to post again soon.

Not quite snakes on a plane

Guns on a plane... I don't see this as a good thing. I see as I watch football (I love to watch football, even the Lions, who suck) That tomorrow on the Today show they are going to show how Pilots will get guns to protect themselves. I have a question: What happens to the plane while the pilots is turned around shooting into the cabin where I am sitting?
1) that guns is pointed at me. That is a big no no. Point that thing at someone else, like the fat guy taking up half of my seat.
2) someone needs to fly the plane, I know they have auto pilot, but I am pretty sure we are a few years out of auto - landing. If I have to jump in that seat and land the plane, I will. I will ask for a refund on my ticket and some bonus miles if I land the plane. Sorry it is a personal policy I have.
3) what if they miss when they pull the trigger? I am no expert, but I am pretty sure it is important that we keep cabin pressure. I don't want to get sucked out a 1 inch hole at 30,000 ft - another personal policy

I have a better idea, lets give them tazors and a trap door, so when you get an asshole who stands up at the wrong time, you just drop him out the bottom of the plane. What about cabin pressure you ask, well I have that figured out, it would be 2 doors, one in the main cabin, then the second would be below in the luggage hold. It would have a plastic tube like the ones you see in the play lands at McDonald's. The second door would not open until the first shut, protecting cabin pressure.

Then for the last thing, I get a gun on the plane, b/c I want some extra peanuts!

Gum this Grandma

I went out with my Buddy Quada and his very cool friends and wife. We were at this bar having a great time people watching. There were 2 guys singing and dancing like they were Will Farrell. Of they were Taliban, I can't be sure. I can tell you they didn't go home alone. Quada and I were laughing at those to two guys when one smacked the other on his ass and held on! Yeah...
Then there was coach purse girl, the only thing running through her head was the smoke from her cirgarette.
Oh yeah the grandma's, can't forget the grandma's. Some made a great point that that could be the best date in the house and I believe the comment was "Gum this Grandma!" If you are sick and twisted, your mind is processing this right now. Yeah, you are one sick puppy!

Any way had a great time food was good, atmosphere was cool.

I would like to thank Quada for the invite. I needed that.

Bring on the Snow...Frosty for president....Get out of my way

I was looking at the weather channel tonight, trying to figure out what is going to happen over the next 36 hours. Then I checked out the weekend forecast and I saw something that was very depressing. The length of the day tomorrow is 9 hours and 17 minutes, followed by 9 hours and 16 minutes on Saturday. I am here to tell you the lack of daylight sucks! I am at work longer than the day is long. Not the best statement I have ever made.
The good news is it is going to snow. Normally I would not care for the snow, but my truck has not been through the snow yet and it needs to be broken in. I heard maybe a foot by Monday in the "snowbelt" or where those of us are that get lake effect. I say bring it on! I want to put it in 4 low and grind it out just for the hell of it.

Speaking of snow. Why don't we put frosty the snowman in the oval office. I am so tired of listen to Bush talk, or rather try to talk. It isn't even that he never makes a point that bugs me as it is that he sounds like he has trouble getting 3 words out with out an "ugh" or "um" he is an idiot. Some one needs to adjust his head so those mickey mouse ears can get in some better reception. He represents all of us when he travels to other countries. Honestly what would you be thinking if he was sitting next to you trying to have a conversation about tariffs against North Korea? You would think, "what the hell is he trying to say?" I am sure the Iraqis think they speak better english than he does. I think he would sound better frozen in snow...

While I am ranting. If you are driving on the express way and you decide less than 70 mph is ok in the left hand lane you should be pulled over and beat until you wet yourself. I am so tired of people not paying attention to what they are doing. They call it the "fast lane" for a reason. We should all take it upon ourselves to flag one of these people down drag them out of their car and explain what giant pain in the ass's they are. When they look at you like they don't understand or the look of they are better b/c they are abiding the law take a good swing and smack it right off of their pathetic little faces. Swing again if it makes you feel better. I don't get road rage, but if my mother could hear what I say to other drivers while I am driving she would laugh, laugh her ass off! I sound like a sailor or a Bosnian truck driver depending on my day.

Sorry I haven't posted allot lately. I have been crazy busy. I will try to do better. I am trying to get this brokerage off the ground and running.

Stay tuned. All this driving has given me lots of time to think about things that piss me off and I have a list I keep in my truck. I am going to start sharing.

Update...

So I said I would post an update and I am doing so. I got a job that started last Monday. It was for an automotive company. I hated it. It was nothing like the automotive that I was used to. It was slow sloppy and in-efficient. So I got another off to work in Chicago, nah, traffic. I had an offer in the ATL, no thanks. So my buddy offered me a job doing sales for his trucking company full time and I took it. I have to say I love it. We have so much fun. It is fast paced, lots of road time, schmoozing with potential clients. It is allot of fun. I have helped set up the office network, ran dispatch. It is consuming and fast paced with enough multi tasking to keep me busy. The hours are good and it is giving me a chance to reconnect with my friend and family and not work like a dog.

With the first pick in the 2007 NFL draft the Detroit Lions will take........

I hate Jon Kitna, he has got to go. Lions need to let someone else try throwing the ball. I suggest Roy Williams, then maybe he will shut the fuck up! This could have been an easy win, but no! Why do it easy when you can lose ugly. Lions fans we are in the race for Brady Quinn. That's right we are trying to acquire the worst record in the league. Jon Kitna needs to go. I had high hopes next April we we could add a defensive stud, but we need a QB more. I really really hate Jon Kitna.

I am sorry I haven't posted lately. I will post again soon to update what is going on in my life.

Dinner Parties and Snicker Doodles

My mom had a dinner party Friday night. I got there to find the usual overboard spread of hordevoures. We waited around for a while and then the rest of the guests showed up: My Grandpa and Grandma Nagy, My Aunt Anne and friends of the family Sandy, Andy and Chuck Stoner. They were very cool people, the had really cool stories, in fact the only thing you could hold against them was that they were from Indiana, which they seemed to hold against themselves. Andy said he would read my blog so I am giving him a shout, hopefully he will comment. Andy just wrote a book about Frank O'Bannon, the ex - governor of Indiana.

So my Mom is trying to make Snicker Doodles for my brothers, my Dad and I. She keeps trying but she is not getting them right. They are good but they aren't what I think of as a Snicker Doodle. The should be dense and moist, hers are light and fluffy. They are good, but not what they should be. Now there are some that say that is the correct cookie. I say they are wrong and since this is my blog, I am right! So if you have any idea how to make Snicker Doodles the way I want them, Please! Let me know.
