Random

I wore my underwear inside-out today.  Didn't even realize it until about 2 in the morning.  I was taking a shit at work and looked down and, yep, inside-out.  That was good.  Was gonna fix it but, someone walked in on me so, I thought twice and decided not to.

Just found out that Criss Angel did an Orville Redenbacher popcorn commercial.  "You popped popcorn in the microwave? Oh my God!"  Here's a link to the video:  Stupidest Commercial Ever.  I love how the lady reacts just like all the losers on the TV show do.  Does he even have a TV show anymore?  Does anyone even care?  MIND FREAK!

Um, what else?  I swear folks.  I'm out of ideas.  I mean, without Hop around to make me question reality, I don't know what's going on.  Oh.  Here's a link to the dude's Facebook page.  Look at him.  That's what I sit next to everyday.  He's a fucking idiot-genius though.  So yeah.  Visit his page.  Add him as a friend.  He hates Facebook so, it'll make his day.

So, yeah.  I guess I'll finish it off with a joke.  How does Bob Marley like his donuts?  With jammin'.  Sorry folks.  Should have some better content in the next week or so once I get Hop back to yell at.  Joe out.

Hop, Where the Fuck Are You?

These people at work are driving me insane.  They're talking about cheese sticks, sugar water.  Something about a Kit Kat.  Apparantely, in someone's school, you were not allowed to bring your lunch.  Sprite and 3 cookies, everyday for 3 years.  Idling train engines.  Oh god, here's another one.  A Twix, a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a Dr. Pepper everyday in highschool.  Another.  All you can eat eatery.  Three times a day.  Stuck a muffin and two apples in my pocket.  That one made me laugh.  Now they're looking at me.

Nevermind.  Looking at someone else.  Something about a pasta buffet at college.  Waffle bars.  Okay, I'm done.

Here's my gripe.  Why do people have these types of conversations?  It's almost combative.  Each one of them, trying to best the other with something they had that the other person didn't.  Who cares?  I mean, I'm just listening to listen really because I've got nothing better to do at 1 in the morning.  So, Hop.  Where the fuck are you?  I've got another week of these losers.  I need mental stimulation.  I need to yell at you over some stupid story you made up.  I've come to a realization that I come to work less to work and more to bitch at Hop.

Oh, and Osama Bin Laden died.  Whoever that is.  Joe out.

This Shit Makes Me Laugh

Just got showed this at work and about laughed my ass off.

Lack of Content and Upcoming Events

Hey folks.  I wanted to say sorry for the lack of updates recently.  Coming off vacation and heading straight back to work has really worn me out.  I should be back to posting quality posts soon enough.  Or should I say "quality"?  Anyways, I'll get on it.

In other news, the podcast is still being worked on.  I'm currently looking into hosting space.  Right now, I'm looking at the format to be a weekly 30 - 60 minute show about random events, stories of past and whatever we can think of at the moment.  I think the hardest part will be getting everyone in their different locations to get together at the same time, record their segments at the same time and send me their audio so I can edit it appropriately.  It's going to be one of those things where I have to depend on others to do their part.  I'm terrible at that but, I trust the people who will be a part of this will be somewhat responsible with their responsibility.

I don't want to give an exact date of when these podcasts will begin recording.  I want to say end of May is when we'll get the first one recorded but again, nothing is set in stone as of yet.  By the way, as always, any input is appreciated as far as what you'd like to see in the show as well as a name.  So far I've received some pretty awful suggestions but, I appreciate the effort.  Sort of.  Anyways, that's it from me.  Joe out.

Back Home

Hey all.  I rolled back into Austin about 11 o'clock last night.  Sort of just relaxed and chatted with everyone at the house for awhile before passing out.  It's sad to have the vacation end but, it's also good to be home.  Work in 2 days...yuck.  But, oh well.  Work is work.  Gotta go car shopping sometime today or tomorrow as well so, let's see how that goes.  Joe out.

Here's to New Beginnings!

Brad and Breanne made it in this morning around 12:30. They're in bed right now, resting up from their long road trip. It's gotten me to thinking about the road trips I've taken several times over the past few years, much the same route as they have.

I remember in 2005, we came to realize that living in Kit Carson, CO wasn't going to cut it anymore and decided to move on down to San Antonio, TX to stay with my grandmother for a little while. A little while became a lot less time as she pretty much ran us out of her house. "Psycho Bitch" is a little too nice a name for her. Anyways, we tried out San Antonio and things just didn't go well.

A couple years later, we ended up moving just a smidge northward to Austin. For me, things still weren't going well. I was fed up and truly missed Colorado. So, I took that road trip again, this time in reverse, and made my way back up to Lamar.

Time had changed Colorado though, or at least had changed my feelings on it. So much was different and friends just weren't what they used to be. I came back to Austin after only a month in Colorado, disheartened and disappointed by the whole situation.

Then, came a new job, a new beginning. That beginning has become a career and I'm at a job that, while often I complain about, isn't really so bad. I have good people who I share my workspace with and make me often forget that I'm working at all. Thanks to them.

I made one last trip to Colorado back in January, this time by plane, to meet up with some old friends. I was happy to see that Colorado had changed again. This time, for the better. My best friend was doing great and had a wonderful family to share his life with and, my other best friend was content...playing the hand life had dealt him. I left that time happy with what I had seen.

Not but a few months later, my friend, someone I've talked about a bunch on here, decided to make that same trip I had embarked on 6 years ago to give it a go down here in Austin. I certainly wish him and his love a great life here and I am proud to be a part of his journey. So, here's to new beginnings. Here's to Brad and Breanne. Here's to MY FUCKING VACATION AWAY FROM THIS HELL HOLE. Oh, did I say that? Meh, sometimes...you just gotta get away. Joe out.

Starting over

Hey all. Thought I'd come back to the blog. Went ahead and deleted all previous posts. I think I had, oh, about 20 some odd all about God knows what or cared about. So, I supposed I'd just start the whole thing over. So, yep. That's about that.

What happened today?

Well, work. Of course. That's about a daily thing anymore. Well, not quite. Mostly daily. 5 out of 7 days anyways. I figure "mostly daily" is a fair enough statement. That's going well enough. I enjoy myself for the most part.



I've been talking with Hop (Hop's a fella I'll let you guys in on a bit later) about starting up a Podcast. I'm thinking that'd be a fun way to waste time. We've been talking about a radio show for ages but, after listening to the Ricky Gervais show as of late, figure Podcasting might just be the way to go. He's reluctant. He fears it'll be all about cheese. See...he hates cheese. Yea. Strange guy. More on that later as well.

What's going on now?

And yea, other than that, I'm playing Dragon Age II. Yes. I know everyone's already beaten it but shit, I just got around to beating Origins so, shut the hell up.



Looking ahead

In other news, my little bro Bradley beans is moving down with his woman. He's a good, old fried of mine. Looking forward to that. They should be here by Wednesday or Thursday. We'll see how that goes.

As well, looking forward to what has been deemed as "Game Nights" with Chris...and whoever else decides to join us. We get together every Wednesday and Thursday morning, around 1 to 5 and enjoy ourselves. Chris is an old friend...the oldest I've got nowadays. Known him for about 13 years. Yep.

Get on with it then

Yea, yea... Otherwise, we'll see how the Podcast idea pans out. Chris and Brad are on board as well as Other Joe and Will from work. I've got a book coming in called "Podcasting for Dummies" coming in. Hope that shines more light on the subject for me. Really hoping Hop signs on to the idea. It wouldn't be the same without his...er...insight? Yea.

Anyways, that's all for now. Joe out.
