My Simple Life

Hey here's my simple life: A little bit about me, currently I own a small little sub shop in Chandler, AZ. How did I get to here? Well I use to do morning radio in Phoenix and it was the worst job I have ever had. Before doing radio in Phx, I use to do morning radio in Oklahoma City, Lincoln Nebraska, Des Moines, and Dubuque Iowa. So after getting out of the daily grind of radio I do the daily grind of the sub shop and am happy. If you want to contact me, email me @ the_flounder@hotmail.com

Not a good spokesperson



Just saw that Destiny's Child is doing a commercial. In the commercial they are promoting the new salad at McDonalds. Ummmm, have you ever seen Beyonce's juicy booty??? There is no way she has ever had a salad at McD's. If she was promoting the Big Mac or the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, I would believe it. Salads, ahhhh yeah, she eats those, sure she does!!!! They have a song called booty-licious. You can't be booty=licious if you eat salads. Ok, honestly, does this girl with the junk in the trunk eat salads or 5 Big Macs???

I'll get ahead of you and throw some comments out there, so you don't have to waste your time:

Ohhh, bubble would love that since it's bubblish
She doesn't have a butt like Devons
I'd like to bounce marshmellows off her ass while sitting in a hot tub

If I forgot any of your typical responses, please feel free to post. I just figured I would get ahead of the game and post them in advance for you.

Big Brother 6 Spoilers

Don't waste watching on Saturday night. Maggie has nominated Kaysar and James for eviction. Sorry to ruin the show for you. I'm still going to watch the show on Tivo time cause I love the drama on the show.

I wasn't raised that way

So I'm watching Cathouse: The Series on HBO last night and they do a segment on how the prostitutes at the bunny ranch have little get togethers to work on there skills. The thing they were covering last night was talking dirty to clients. Well one of the prostitutes said she couldn't say fuck or dick to a client since she wasn't raised that way. She wasn't raised to say those words. Well some of the other prostitutes called her out on this in there confidential speak. I have to agree with them, this woman couldn't say those words but she could:

1) Be a prostitute, doubt that she was raised that way either. I don't think she went to hooker camp when she was a kid to get a heads up on the other kids.
2) She is all tatooted. Ahhh ok.....not that good of a tie in, but none the less I doubt she was raised to be a tatooed freak
3) She has her nipples and clit pierced. I doubt any parent in there right mind would raise there kids to get there clit pierced.

Fuck, u got all these things going on but u won't say fuck. What the Fuck!!!!! Dammit, get your fucking shit together. You're a whore, a well paided whore, you weren't raised to be that, but you are. Well not you can say fuck and it's ok!!!! I promise!!!!

Money Fun!!!!

Went to the bank today and Big Bird the bank teller is pregnant. She looks even more goofy being pregnant. I feel sorry for her cause of the way she looks. Talk to another teller today and asked what it was liked to be robbed lately. She told me the guy came in told her he wanted all her 100's, 50's, and 20's, and that he had a gun. She doubted he really had a gun, but she didn't want to call his bluff. Well I then went outof my way to screw with her. I told her I heard about that in California there had been a bunch of bank robberies. She's hooked in on this story. So I go on to tell her that all the robbers where masks of former presidents when they would rob the place. She started telling me that I was telling her about the movie Point Break. I played dumb and wouldn't admit it was a movie. Ha ha ha!!!

Flash Back

Had a former employee call up today. He left earlier in the year cause he was going to join the Navy, where you can sail the seven seas. Yes, in the navy!!!! In the Navy!!! Well he's crazy and I thought he would either die in the military or would kill someone else. Well one week before he was to graduate training, they discharged him for medical reasons. Code for he's crazy. So he called back today wanting to know if we needed him back and right now I don't need him and he wanted to know if he could at least use me as a reference. I said that was fine and I wished him good luck. I then told one of my other employees that she could of taken a good jab at me and told him that since he's not 20 and a hot girl, he can't work here anymore. She thought it was funny.

Big Brother 6 opinions:

Kayser should win cause he's a good plotter
Howie is great on the show, since he's damn funny on the show
April---ahhhhh, forgot she was on the show, so who cares about her!!!!

Eric was kicked out this week. OOOOppppppps Maggie won HOH and will now take revenge for kicking out Eric

Found

The employee that lost her keys found her keys last night. It was in her roommates room, even though it was in a place where she had already looked. Damn roommate was trying to scam her, of course she was. I kind of laid the "Oh shit, this is going to be exspensive" guilt trip on her. Plus I told her that she should go file a police report in case anything happens, like the store getting broken into, or her house or car. Ahhhh, striking the fear of god into people. It has it's advantages.

Damn internet went out last night at home cause of the weather. So I was calling for service at 1am last night. I was that guy, the late night internet guy. Well I would of only been the 11pm internet guy, but I had to wait for service forever.

Some guy from Sirius called me yesterday. I told him I was in the middle of lunch and to call me back later. Ha ha ha. Silly kids, where did they get my number????

Lock In!!!!

Couldn't of had a stupider thing happen today. One of my employees lost her set of keys. Now this is just a normal set of keys. This is a set of keys that will get you into the store, but it also has a key pad alarm system, that's just like a car. Deactivate and activate the alarm with the touch of a button. Pretty easy hey??? Yeah but it's pretty easy to break into too now that it's lost. So I guess I will have to call a locksmith tomorrow and redo the keys and also will have to get the alarm crew in here and redo the codes. F#@@#$ that!!!! Joys of having your own business I guess.

No way!!!

Would of never of guessed this, but record companies pay record stations to play there songs!!!! News is coming out that Jennifer Lopez's hit song "Get Right" was made a hit by the record companies by paying for play. I would of never of thought that since it's such a great song. Love the beat and the overall sound of the song in general was great. I'm just shocked that this is all happening. It's the best song over!!!

Ok, enough of the BS. I have a few favorite payola stories that I love, here they are and these are just people I know, so I'm sure there are much worse out there:

1) Person I know opens a envelope from a record company, they take the CD out and notices there something else in the envelope. That something else was $3000 cash. She asks her boss, whose office she was in helping him open his mail, what's the deal with the cash. He denies it all and they turn the envelope over and it got delivered to the wrong station and was supposed to go to the crosstown compitition. Oooops

2) PD of a station is moving across country to take another job. On his way out of town, as a thanks, a furniture store shows up, unloads new furniture and loads it into the moving truck. All courtsey of a record company

3) A couple of record companies go in together to get favoring from a high power PD and buy his house, cause he was selling it to take another job in another city. Ohhh, but to make it even better for him, since he loved the town he was in, the record companies bought him a condo to use when he visited.

4) Small town radio station guy gets paid $75 a week to play a piece of shit Engelberd Humperdink song!!! They still payed him after he left and the station was still playing it.

3 of the stories are fact, 1 of them is rumor, but trust me, it's pretty accurate.



New girl started today and she did ok. She was dragging at the end and I've come to the conclusion that when we train new people from now on, we won't be doing a 8 hour job to start them out. People that haven't been working and then are forced to do an 8 hour shift usually can't handle that right away and need to be slowly moved into it. She made it 6:30 hours. Wonder if she will be back tomorrow????

Screw him

I think I have finally picked a baseball player that I hate. It use to be Barry Bonds, but steroid man hasn't played this year, so I had to find a new one. Well I decided who it is and his name is Phil Nevin. Today he vetoed a trade that would of sent him to Baltimore for some P.O.S. pitcher, Sid Ponson. He did it for family reasons, blah blah blah. His current team San Diego thought this deal was a lock so they even traded for a guy to replace him. But no, Phil doesn't want to go. He loves his family to much. But see the thing is, this is the second time he has said no to a trade. Dammit Phil!!!! Except a trade, San Diego needs help and doesn't want you. Except a trade and do what's right for the team. Suck it up, it would of only of been a couple months away from the family, gives you tons of time to hit some groupies up.

Nothing...

I got nothing going on today. That's a good thing though since I am wiped out right now and should go to bed. Got into a argument with Jennifer today. See the thing is, she is slow at making sandwiches and demanded that she only make sandwiches today. Ok, that's fine, but we were neck deep in customers and I told her to take the register, so the other employee could come make sandwiches since she is much much faster then Jennifer. Nope, jennifer wouldn't budge. So after me bitching for 15 minutes, she finally got on the register. Thanks Jennifer for being stubborn and not understanding why she needed to move.

Also while she was making sandwiches, she took a phone order. Ok, so they want 6 sandwiches, we have customers waiting in line out to the door, and she tells them that they can pick up there sandwiches in 5 minutes. Ugh, we had a long talk after that. She has no idea how to evaluate a situation.

My family!!!

I always tell people that we all treat each other at work like family. Well if that's the cause, I had to deal with my work daughter today. Today was her birthday and her bf broke up with her last night, her friends were pissing her off, and the usual drama from her. So she shows up at the store at 8am all crying and shit. It looks like she was even trying to slit her wrists, I didn't see it, but it's what I was told. Oh and she smelled like she had been drinking all night. So one of my employees, who we call this girls mom, took her back to her place, threw her on her bed and told her to go to bed.

After a couple hours, I went over there, picked her up and took her out. Ever other week she has to go and pay a fine at the courthouse. So I took her to the courthouse and made sure she paid her fine. After that I took her out to lunch and made sure she got home and was safe. She's got alot of issues, but it's the least I could do.

Hired a new girl today, hope she stays on. She might have issues, just haven't figured out what they are yet. But by hiring her this means I have a 16, 17, 18, and 19 year old girls working for me. I swear I didn't do this on purpose.

Making light out of a bad situation

I think I am going to move to New York. On the subways there they are doing random searches of packages. I'd love to have my package checked out, lord knows Jennifer isn't checking out my package.

Michael was kicked out of BB6 last night. He needed to go since he was trying to tag every girl in the house and it was starting to bother them.

I need sleep. I'm up so damn early cause I fucked up my food order and no one noticed!!!! I went out of my way to ask the kids on wednesday if I screwed it up once the food order arrived. They all said it looked good. Heaven forbid anyone would tell me anything. Basically I was up and semi-working from 3am to 11pm yesterday and today I'm up again at 7am. Today will be a short day. So will tomorrow, well if getting to work at 7am tomorrow is considered a short day, then I win. And to think I am trying to buy more stores???

Back

Made it back to Phoenix today and it's so nice to be back. I'll admit though I do like flying between mke and phx for 1 reason, I play a game while I wait. It's called "Are they from Phx or from Wisconsin???"

See people in wisconsin dress way different then people from AZ. There hair is way different, no one has a perm down here, but I think they must be giving away free perms on every corner in WI.

Also another rule is that everyone from WI must wear a harley t-shirt if they leave WI. It's like an ID thing, if lost, please notice the harley shirt and return them to the WI border, they will take care of them from there.

Trust me, once you leave the midwest, you notice the fashion and can tell who's from there and who's not.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fashion victum, I just like playing my airport game. It kills the time

My vacation/conference

Didn't do anything to crazy today. Went to a rah rah meeting today and then went to vendor night which is short for open bar night. I don't drink, so I didn't hang to long. If you would of read an earlier blog u would of figured out that I hate what I am driving. So what does my mom make me do, she tells me to go get the oil changed on that beast. Ugh....what???? Me get the oil changed. I guess the 200 miles I might put on the car is going to drain all the oil. Oh yeah since the thing is super charged, they need to use special oil or the flux capacitor might not get enough lubrication. So getting her oil changed only cost me $55 today!!!! Damn her!!!

Since this conference is at a resort the company sprung for us to go to the spa so I went and got a facial done. No not that kind of facial, but if u r looking for that kind of facial, please go to thehun.net
It was ok, not sure what I thought was going to happen. Would I do it again, I doubt it since it wasn't worth the money to me that the company paid for it.

Award meeting tomorrow and some panels tomorrow which I am a part of. Fun Fun Fun

My real life

Here's an email I sent to a friend today. It's been edited a little, to protect the innocent:

I give up, that's all I have to say. In the past I've said this and I said that, but this time I really do mean it. See the thing is, u mean a lot to me. Perhaps you know that, maybe you don't. But hey now u know. Can't say that you don't know. You mean so much to me that I think of your kids around the holidays and there birthdays, does there father even do that? Yeah I think of your kids and send them stuff, but I also think of you alot and send you things also around the holidays and your birthday.

See I give you attenion. I go out of my way to give you attention. I try and call you all the time and you never pick up. That's what I have done.

What have you done??? You've given me 2:30 hours of your time in the last year. That includes the 1:30 dinner we had last night. Seems like alot of attention to me. I think you purposely try to avoid me at times.

Would you put up with the way you treat me if you were in my shoes???? You're the one that needed to find me, not the other way around and this is the way you show it.

Maybe it's cause I'm an only child that I'm typing this, yeah I'll admit that it's probably it. But look at it from my point of view. When has been the only time you have even answered the phone when I called. Seems like it was early september, mid-late december, mid-march, and mid-may (that was only an email, not a call). Hmmmm, maybe cause it was when packages showed up at work for you and your kids.

I'm just sick of being taken advantage of. Like the paperwork couldn't of been put off another day. You've been threating Jermaine for the last couple months, but it has to be DONE TONIGHT (I guess that would of been last night by the time you read this).

What can I say. I'm just letting it all out tonight, don't worry it has been building, but I was hoping you would pay a little more attention to me last night then you did.

Well the good news for you is that, guess what, you can have your 2:30 hours back next year. I don't need this kind of stress in my life.

The irony

See the thing is I hate Nascar, I really do. Don't be offended by that if you like it, hey it's my opinion and you have yours. But this time while I am visiting my folks I have to deal with how much I hate it since I have to drive my mom's pimped out Motce Carlo which is the special Dale Jr. version. Yeah it's got the striping like it and it's even got a budweiser logo on the fin/rear end of the car, plus it also has a big bud logo on the hood. This is perhaps the worst thing for me. People will actually think that I like Dale Jr. and Nascar in general.

While that's bad, there are other alternatives. I use to drive my moms avalache around. Sounds nice and stuff. Her old one was all pimped out with an engine upgrade and flames on the side of the car. Yeah sounds cool and all, but here's why I hated driving that car. Cause she would have all these crazy decals on the truck like "Get out of the way of this bitch" "This girl likes a big truck" and female shit like that. Can't act to macho when everyone knows there is a "Bitch on board"

Off to meeting tonight, sound like fun??? I doubt it will be since I don't really know anyone at these meetings. Nothing like sitting by yourself.

Landed safely

Well I made it to Milwaukee safely. Had a few issues getting here. Once we got loaded onto the plane some discovered that there vent didn't work. Well after 30 minutes of sitting on the tarmak in the 116 degree temperature, the woman finally decided she would move to another seat since they couldn't fix it. Thanks alot lady, we all sweated to death cause of it. If that wasn't bad enough the guy in the same aisle as me, well he was sitting next to me, he had the aisle, I had the window, and no one was in between. Well that guy decided it would be a good thing to take his shoes off mid flight and stink up the place with his foot fungus. Thanks alot.

Once I got home my mom had dinner all made for me. Well not really, it was all left overs from a party they had last night. Needless to say there wasn't anything that I liked and she got mad at me cause I wasn't eatting anything. She tried to force me to eat brocoli salad, which according to her has no brocoli in it. Of course they just use brocoli for it's name. Damn salad people taking advantage of them.

Using my folks computer isn't to bad. It's not to slow, but the keyboard is wider then on my laptop and is a pain for me to use, so please excuse all the typing errors while I am here, not sure if it's any different from anyother time. Meetings tomorrow, with who??? Well that's between me and the meetings, nah it's an advisor board meeting tomorrow. Wake me when it's over

My lack of reality

Over on GSN right now they are playing the first season of the Amazing Race!!! Please watch it, honestly it is my favorite season of the show. It had such great characters that I am catching up with. Kevin and Drew who are 2 NY guys and they act u would think 2 NY guys would. They are hilarious. Also "Team Guido" is on the show. They're a gay couple and are completely ruthless. They don't care about anyone and it's hilarious. I think I could do the amazing race, but would have to do the race with my mom since I have no patience for Jennifer and we would blow up on screen, which the producers would love to see.

Over in BB6 land Eric nominated Michael and Janelle. I think Janelle will be saved this week since the women have it in for Michael since he's hitting on the women to much. Knowing that, I'll be completely wrong.

It's close to 10pm and I fly out at 10am tomorrow morning and I still have not packed yet for it or done anything in general for it. I seem to always wait until the last minute for this kind of stuff. I changed my seat on the plane today from sitting next to someone to not sitting next to anyone. Hope that doesn't change

Bartertown!!!

Went to Wal-mart last night and realized something:


Remember bartertown, it's the crazy ass town in Mad Max beyond thunderdome. Well I'm starting to think that Wal-mart is just like that little city. In Bartertown there really was no rules, same as Walmart, very few rules. I think the only rules that Walmart has is you can wear whatever you want, but u need to wear that damn blue vest. Want to walk around in the place in just a thong, that's fine, just have your vest on with you. Also like bartertown, at wal-mart you see all sorts of freakish looking people that only come out when they go to wal-mart. Plus last night while I was there I heard 1 employee ask another 1 if he could buy a cigerette off him. Holy shit, it is just like bartertown.

They don't have a thunderdome yet, who knows when they will get it, but since Wal-mart wants to be doing everything, whynot make a thunderdome???

The thing is, I hate going to Wal-mart. I'm really not into what wal-mart stands for. Back in the day, they were all about Made in the USA products. In today's wal-mart I challange you to find one item that is made in the USA. Why did I go to wal-mart then, cause I needed cheap coolant and since I poor it into my car and it goes on the ground because of my leak, I don't feel like spending a ton of cash on pooring things into the ground.

Big Brother 6 results

Love my little big brother show. They had there first eviction tonight and it was down to Kaysar or Ashlea. They kicked Ashlea out 9-2. Now I hate to be that guy, but I'm happy that they kicked her out, why you ask, well it's not that I had anything against her or favored Kaysar. I'm just afraid that it would of looked bad if they would of kicked out the first arab-american contestant in BB history in the first week. Some people out there would of acused other people of racism, even though it had nothing to do with that. Luckily, he is still there and will last another week. Eric is HOH right now and I'm not sure who he will nominate, but I know who he won't nominate, Maggie since they are friends.

Other groups for this season are (Everyone in the house has an in game friend):

Ivette and Beau: Friends and former coworkers
Sarah and James: Been dating for four months
April and Jennifer: Sorority sisters
Howie and Rachel: Good Friends
Kaysar and Michael: Neighbors over 6 years
Janelle and Ashlea: Were once roommates (Ashlea is out!!!!)

Ok, so that's the twist for this season, should get interesting!!!!

Bad Show

So I am watching Rockstar INXS. It's american idol-ish. Each week they perform and then the bottom 3 from viewers votes have to perform the next night. INXS will have them each perform a song and then INXS will decide who of the 3 gets kicked off. But the thing is, they make them perform an INXS song. So there will be probably 14 weeks of this show, so that's 3 INXS songs per week, time 14, so that's 42 INXS songs. Ahhhh, wait a minute, how many times am I going to hear the same songs over and over again??? In my opinion, here are there hits:

Need You Tonight
What You Need
New Sensation
Never Tear Us Apart
Suicide Blonde
Devil Inside

So, lets see, that means we will hear each song 7 times in 14 weeks, so every other week we will hear it. Sad, very sad way to do a show!!!

I'm sure

Recently I have been raising my hands alot. Why you ask??? Cause I'm sure!!! Well I ran out of deoderant and had to borrow some from Jennifer and she wears Sure. But now I'm done using it since I got my good old stand by, Degree. Every time I buy degree they have repackaged it and I can never buy the same looking stick two times in a row.

Had a talk with my problem employee yesterday, almost made her cry!!!! I told her to quit bull shitting me and just fucking work and actually show up the days she is scheduled. She's really the only employee I can make cry, which is good, but also sucks cause I would like to be able to make all of them cry!!!!

Last thing....my car is f'd up. I know I am leaking coolant and not having any coolant when it's 100 degrees at 10 pm, isn't good. So I'll take it in today and try to figure it out. $$$$ I can already see it now!!!!

Dream girl


Here she is, a real woman. Let me introduce you to Jennie Finch. She's a softball pitcher for the US Olympic team and as you can see is smoking hot. Why do I bring her up, well she's on the cover of this weeks SI. But I also have a story about Jennie. See the thing is, Jennie was doing an autograph signing here in town. I couldn't make it cause I had to work, so I sent Jennifer and my mom (who was in town for visiting) down to go get the autograph from Jennie. Well before they left, I told my mom to do me a favor, I needed a little help. I told my mom to ask Jennie for her phone number cause she's really hot. So Jennifer and my mom go down to where she is signing and sure enough, my mom tries to help me out and she asks Jennie for her digits. Jennie tells her she can't do that since she is engaged and all that stuff. But I do have to say this, thanks mom for trying. She would of been a good daughter in law, I promise!!!

BTW Jennie Finch is dating some scrub ass pitcher who was on the opening day lineup for the diamondbacks last year, needless to say he was so good he started the year at Double A. Loser, but he still gets to tag her, so I guess he can't be to bad

2 weeks

It took 2 weeks for me to get my painted chairs back, even though I was originally told it would only took 2 days!!!! Damn it took forever, 2 weeks of folding chairs in the store, ugh!!!! But they do look damn nice!!!

Got someone coming in for an interview today. Don't really remember anything about her, so if she has a metal rod though her head, I can't be blamed since I don't remember anything about her when she put in her application.

Last night we wrapped up working and called ahead to a local pizza place. Jennifer ordered some pizza and they told us 45 minutes. Ok, that's was good timing for us, so we finished up some paper work and went on our way to pick it up. We got there and jennifer went in to get it. She picked it up and when she got into the car she opened it up and realized it was the wrong pizza. So she took it back in and tried to solve the problem, maybe they gave us someone elses pizza or something like that. Nope, they made the wrong pizza. So jennifer calls me cause I am sitting in the car and asks what they should do, I tell her I want my money back and we would move on since I don't want to sit and wait for a pizza, she says ok and we hang up. 1 minute later jennifer tells me they won't refund her money and that they are making her a new pizza. I say no, I want my money back. She claims it will take only 5 minutes. Ok, we will wait, I'm not happy about it though. 25 minutes later, ta da, we have a pizza and needless to say I'm not happy.

The thing is, if I screw up at the store, yeah, I'll make them a new sandwich, but if they want there money back, yeah, I'll give them there money back. Also the thing is, if they want something new, I can do it in a minute or 2, not 25 minutes.

Sorry, I know I'm just pissing and moaning about something small, but isn't that what blogs are for???

ooohhhh charity auction

ESPN Radio is doing a charity auction to raise money for the V foundation. They've got some pretty cool things like signed stuff, go behind the scenes at sportcenter, and all sorts of unique stuff. Things like that, stuff people would actually want. But then there is this item:

Spend a day with ESPN Anchor Linda Cohn on Bristol campus; behind the scenes, watch NFL games, ESPN Gift Bag -- 2005 season (Should the winning bidder reside more than 250 miles away from Bristol, Conn., this experience will include regular coach airfare for two and one hotel room for one night. )


Ahhhh, who the f would want this piece of crap. I can't stand Linda Cohn. She thinks she is god's greatest creation when in reality she is the most annoying sportcenter personality of all time. I know, most people would say that Stewart Scott is pretty annoying, but he is what ESPN wants him to be. Linda on the other hand, is what she wants to be. She's the token chick anchor there and someone needs to tell her that. The worst thing is when she does fill in on ESPN radio, she is the most arrogant person. I hope no one bids on it, unfortunitly someone will bid for it since it is charity, but.....I hope the person that does buy it buys it because of the behind the scenes stuff and not to hang out with Linda Cohn.





"Hi I'm Linda and I'm smarter then you. Don't tell anyone that I am the token ugly woman at ESPN. Also don't tell anyone, but in a couple years I will be 50, but I'll still be smarter then you"

Today's thoughts

Sports people were going crazy today cause Michelle Wie had a chance to make the cut at the John Deere Classic. She would of been the first woman to make the cut on a PGA event in 60 years. Ok, so time for me to rant. Ahhhh Michelle, why don't you try to win at the LPGA first and then you can play with the big boys. Oh yeah, but hey once you do win some LPGA tour events, you can try and play with the men again. When you do decide to play again on the PGA tour, why not try a real tour event. The John Deere Classic is on the bottom of the PGA event. Only 4 of the top 30 players actually played in this event. See how important this event was. Even robot golfer Vijay "Cheat" Singh didn't even play this event and he plays every week.

BTW Michelle didn't make the cut, se choked with 3 holes to go.

Went and picked someone up at the airport today. I understand how they had to increase the ammount of security after 9/11 happened and I support that. If they want to screen me, that's ok. If they want to make going through the metal detectors harder, that's fine. It all makes sense, but a little known fact about 9/11 terrorists. They parked in the loading/unloading zone and left there cars there. That must be the only reasons that they are cranking down on those car zones cause I have never heard of any security hazards from people taking there time there.

Humidity here I come

It's official, I will be returning to wisconsin for a limited time starting July 17 and ending July 21. Why??? Well it's not because of the Live 8 charity rave that the Bruce Lindsay Party Machine will be having. That's to rough for me at my age. It's because I will be going back for a business convention. I don't really ever want to move back to milwaukee, but here's what I miss.

Things I miss about milwaukee:

1) Golden Gyro (75th and Lincoln) best gyros in the world. Trust me, I go there every time I am back in WI
2) Frozen Custard-It doesn't exist down here, odd I tell ya
3) Summerfest-Didn't appreciate it when I was young, but I appreciate it now that I am away from it
4) Cheese curds-can't find them anywhere down here
5) Good radio-There's always something good on either 102.1 or 102.9 (Lazer), plus I can listen to 720am out of chicago, which is my favorite station all time!!!!


Things I don't miss about milwaukee:
1) Humidity
2) Humidity
3) Cold weather-women don't wear revealing clothing in cold weather
4) Being able to get good football tickets at the last minute
5) Not seeing the sun for like 2 months straight

Shit, if they would just put a huge ass dome over wisconsin I would move back, but they won't do that for me, so fuck them

Dance Dance Pornalution

Kelly Monaco won dancing with the stars last night and I couldn't be happier. She has a rocket of a body and is so fun to look at. She got a perfect score on her last routine, which has never happened. Some people say it was rigged since Kelly has a tv show on ABC and J. Peterman doesn't have anything going on. There really wasn't a cash prize or anything, so perhaps it was rigged, who cares??? Know J. Peterman can come back in season 2 and revenge his loss. But if you can't get enough of Kelly, go to yahoo and go to the images search and look up Kelly Monaco. I think you will like what you see, well if your a guy you will like it.

Top 5 Reality Shows

Top 5 current Reality Shows:

1) Big Brother 6 (It starts this week and I think they are already in the house)
2) MTV's 70's House
3) Blow Out (Only person that doesn't know Jonathon Anton is gay is Jonathon Anton)
4) Cathouse (ahhh, any time u can get a bunch of hookers talking, it's good stuff)
5) Dancing with the Stars


Top 5 All Time Reality Shows:

1) The Mole (Not the celebrity versions, those sucked, the original 2 seasons were the best and were very smart tv. You had to be smart to figure out who was the Mole. I miss it!!! Either you were smart enough to win, no one else could boot u out)
2) Amazing Race (Great show that lets you see the world and lets you see people fight each other. Lets the rest of the world see how ugly us americans really are. Also you determine your own fate, not other people)
3) Combat Missions (Military type show that was on USA. Wish they would show re-runs of it somewhere. Basically there were like 4 groups and they would do the same missions, worst team would lose someone. They did eliminations until only 1 team survived. Then that team fought it out between each other. Great show cause it mixed in Vietnam vets, gulf war vets, police guys, SWAT guys, navy seals. All different backgrounds. Please fox reality, pick it up!!!!)
4) Joe Schmo (Great concept where everyone was in on the joke, except 1 guy. Everyone played there role perfectly and this type of show can't be done again, as seen when they did Joe Schmo 2 and it tanked)
5) Big Brother (I'm a sucker for this show, it's simple and they usually have a hot girl or 2 or 3. Plus there's always good conflict, and hot chicks too.)

Honorable mentions:

Last Comic Standing
Trading Spaces (Won't watch it now that Paige Davis is gone)
Temptation Island
Bands on the Run (Why didn't they make Bands on the Run 2????)
Ashlee Simpson (I love u Ashlee!!!!)
The Restaurant (Almost made the top 5, but since all of Rocko's restaurants are closed, it missed out)



The Top 5 WTF were they thinking reality shows:
1) The Chair (John McEnroe hosting a quiz show that also shocked you and scared you, but u need to keep your pulse low enough)
2) Chains of Love (4 women and 1 guy chained together and they can't do anything alone since they are chained up, but 1 by 1, they would get eliminated. The Locksmith would show up and remove the person who didn't make the cut
3) Married by America (No one got married and no sparks happened)
4) Todd TV (Was supposed to be like the movie, Ed TV, but the problem was, this guy was boring as shit and the producers knew it and tried to do everything they could to spice it up)
5) American Juniors (ahhhh, no I don't need to see kids sing)


Top 5 Reality Shows that weren't given a chance:
1) The Mole
2) The Family
3) Combat Missions
4) Studio 7
5) Murder in Small Town X


All the above shows I have watched. There are other shows that I have watched too, but they just didn't make the cut. Do you think I like reality tv to much??? Channel 250 on direct tv is my favorite, Fox Reality Channel!!!!!

What I won't be buying and best new reality show!!!

Went to the grocery store tonight to pick up some din din and was looking around to get the dogs some treats. Well I ran across a pet product I won't be buying. It's Old Yeller dog food. Maybe it's just me, but I love my dogs and don't want them to die like Old Yeller did. I want my dogs to live a happy full life. Not to be dead like Old Yeller!!!! Don't buy that stuff!!!

Also I would like to declare that once again, as the months change, I have a new favorite reality show. This month it is "MTV's The 70's House"

Basically what happens is they took like 12 college aged kids and threw them into a house and everything in the house is just like it was in the 70's. The 8 tracks, the TV dinners, the clothes, the tv, everything. Plus the kids have to dress and talk like it's the 70's too. Whoever is the most 70-ish at the end wins the prize!!!! Pure comedy, I feel bad for these kids.

Problem for this show is that it will get bumped off the favorite reality show perch once Big Brother starts up again later this week. So see ya 70's house!!!!

What do I know

Ok, wait, we're going to have a super huge concert, where all these super groups come together and we have a day long show. Hell it was such a big event that Pink Floyd performed, first time in 20+ years. Now what would you pay for a show like this???? Some people would give there left nut to go to the show. So how much did they charge for this super huge show??? Nothing, not a damn cent. Fucking idiots. They want to raise awareness for the problems of all the debt in Africa and they want the world to wipe out there debt and make everything cool.

So they want to repay debt, shit, make the people pay $10 a person and hell that could be used to pay some of that debt.

While I think this isn't that bad of an idea, wipe out there debt. Ok, sounds good, but the thing is, they just didn't get into debt by not spending money and having control. They have overspent what they have. So now we will wipe it out and all of a sudden they are going to have budget control and not have any debt. Hell even america, the largest economy in the world, doesn't have budget control. But you are going to expect little economy random africa country to use budget control. Oh yeah, that will happen!!!! Sure it will, no honestly, it will. They promise

I can't hire

I'll be the first to admit, I can't do hiring. People I think will work, fuck, they suck and I pick all the shitty ones. So I brought this guy in on wednesday for an interview. He use to be a manager at Quiznos, so he's already ahead of the game. The learning curve won't be to bad. He wanted more then I was willing to pay, but I gave in since if he worked out, it could be great.

So he came back thursday and I offered him the job. He accepted and I told him to stop by friday to pick up some paper work and also that his first day would be 7am saturday and that we would train him during day shift. He said kewl and would be there.

Saturday morning comes around and sure enough he shows up. I wasn't there, but my morning manager was. So he shows up and well wouldn't you know it, there is issues. He says he's sick, ok, but why is he sick??? Well he gets sick around food in the morning. Wait a minute, you fucking worked in a restaurant for 1 and 1/2 years and u get sick around food!!!! My manager asked him why he even applied, he said he needed the money. Ahhhh, he better start looking for a new place cause he's gone!!! 4 (hours) and the door!!! I always tell people that you know the first day if someone is going to work out. My theory still holds true!!!

Rough Life!!!!

I tell you, I have a rough life. One of the regulars here at the store was reading the paper and his 2 sons took a part of the paper that has all these pictures of HS kids on them. It's congratulating them on being good journalists for there school newspapers. Well they graded the girls, well the top 5 of them in there opinion. They left the newspaper there and when I was grabbing it, I noticed what they did. So I look at who they chose and me and another employee each chose our top 5 girls in the section. We both chose different girls and discussed why we chose each. We only agreed on 1 girl. Nothing cooler then sitting around and rating other girls, with another girl.
