Men's Room Tips

So a while back i had a "strange" experience at bar when I went to the Men's Room..... before you start I wrote it like that intentionally just for the humor..... Anyhow Josh came across this greeting card that describes what happened.

I'm in there doing my thing with nobody else at all in there! And keep in mind unlike the picture on the card that shows a group of 3, there are 4 in this place and I am on the far left.... Anyhow someone else walks in and proceeds to stand right next to me, doesn't say anything, no eye contact just a complete violation of the rules of the "Man Code" and a total violation of my personal space in a non-emergency situation.....

So I am now taking this as n opportunity for a Public Service Announcement.

**Only in an emergency is it okay to stand right next to another guy in the Men's Room**

7 Years Later

Please take a moment today to remember all of those that

How to beat Spiderman

So the story goes Bill and I are driving back on the highway and from nowhere he states that he knows how to get away from Spiderman. All one would have to do is just drive out of the city! Without any buildings or light poles he would be totally screwed because he would have nothing to swing from.... It's soooo true!!

Challenge: Find a way to be a super hero.

Movie Review - Tropic Thunder

- SPOILER ALERT -
DO NOT CONTINUE UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW DETAILS OF PEOPLE IN THE MOVIE

Okay, so this was great all around fun. Probably the best Tom Cruise movie since Jerry Maguire! Who wasn't int his movie?? It starts out with these awesome coming attractions and commercials, dam you Toby Maguire the church will condemn you!! So we got Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Mathew McConaughey, and appearances by Jennifer Love Hewitt, John Voight, Lance bass, Alicia Silverstone, Christine Taylor, Bill Hader, and the list goes on and on and on..... Still had a part in Writing, Directing, Producing, and Acting in this movie. It was so funny and full of every scene you could possible spoof from a war movie, like Platoon and Full Metal Jacket to Rambo!! Lets not leave out the super soundtrack too. I think this is one of those sleeper films that nobody thinks will be funny and then a few people will see it word will spread and the next thing you know it makes 100 million dollars and wins some awards! Some of the antics are so over the top but yet still worked. I must say the premis for the character for Robert Downey Jr. is just friggin great... This is a story of a group of A list actors all put in one movie based on a book of memoirs from a Vietnam War veteran. As production begins they find themselves already behind scheule and over budget. The rookie director takes some advise from the books writer and drops the group off in the middle of the jungle where he tells them they will be filmed with hidden cameras and take all things to the fullest. Little do they know that they are being followed and attacked by real "soldiers" which are drug dealers!! As they make their way through the jungle Stiller is captured and at firs thinks it is part of the script. The remainder of the group figures out what is going on and comes up with a plan to save him. Okay, so thats just the jist of the story. Oaky, now go see the movie for a good laugh!!

WOW - It's Been Almost A Month!

WOW - It's Been Almost A Month!
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted anything. I don't really have a good excuse aside from saying I am a slacker. I will make this short and give a promise to be better about it.

Travel
I went back to St. Thomas, USVI for a week for work. I had my first experience with the police there, don't worry nothing major, just a bit of what we will call a driving infringement upon a designated area. Weather permitting this Tuesday I will be going to Chicago for a few days. One of my vendors is flying a couple of us up there for a meet and greet and a technology seminar.

Movies
Since my last post I have seen two other movies. Stepbrothers, which I really liked and Pineapple Express, which was just an overall complete let down.

TV
I have been watching these pretty consistantly, sometimes on DVR but I am keeping up with them. Flashpoint, In Plain Sight, BurnNotice, NCIS (repeats), The 2008 Summer Olympics. I can not wait for the Fall season to begin. We get the series finals for The Shield and ER and of course the return of Heroes(Villians) and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia !!

2008 Summer Olympics
Just gonna give it up to Michael Phelps. I am not saying I am joining the bandwagon or anything but the guy did make history with 8 medals in one series. I also have to give it up to the other athletes participating in the games. It is an awesome site when you see the best the world has go head to head in competition

Sad News
The passing of Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes

Facebook
No, I still have not setup a Facebook profile.... I need to resist just a little bit longer....


Okay, that is all for now. As I state before Iw ill try and be better about posting. In the meantime enjoy this funny pic and joke....

PIC

Joke

The difference between dating, just messing around, and marriage. :-)

Three women: one engaged, one married, and one a mistress, are chatting
about their relationships and decide to amaze their men...that night all
three will wear a leather corset, S&M style, stilettos and mask over
their eyes.

After a few days they meet again.....The engaged girlfriend said: 'The
other night, when my boyfriend came back home, he found me in the
leather corset, 4' stilettos and mask. He said, 'You are the woman of my
life, I love you, then we made love all night long.'

The mistress stated: 'Oh Yes! The other night we met in the office. I
was wearing the leather corset, mega stilettos, mask over my eyes and a
raincoat. When I opened the raincoat, he didn't say a word. We just
had wild sex all night.'

The married one then said: 'The other night I sent the kids to stay at
my mother's for the night, I got myself ready, leather corset, super
stilettos and mask over my eyes. My husband came in from work, grabbed
the TV control and a beer, and said, 'Yo, Batman... What's for dinner?'

Movie Review - Dark Knight

Wow, all I can say is this movie is frightening! I loved it. Everything you have heard is not just hype.... It seemed to me this movie was more a story about The Joker and how he and Batman almost need each other to survive and in some ways are the same person to the opposite extremes. It was almost that Batman was just a character in this move rather than it being focused on him. Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing. There is no way to compare his version of The Joker with Jack Nicholson's but it was freakishly real and very very dark. He is just so good at being bad. And not going all bandwagon here but I do think his performance is worthy of recognition with some type of award. I know it is PG13 to get a larger audience but I would not recommend little kids seeing it. Bottom line 4 stars in my book, I think liked it better than Batman Begins. 4 Stars!
