My Kung Fu Is Strong

My Kung Fu Is Strong

From time to time I run through my Tai Chi routine or a few Yoga positions but I don't do them nearly as frequently as I should or as I did when taking both classes last semester. However, today I did some Qigong exercises, my Tai Chi routine, then a set of Yoga positions called Sun Salutations. Then I took a shower and now I feel great. I'm a little bit sore but incredibly loose. I’m going to add doing this more often to my New Year’s Resolution.

You can find work and

You can find work and sort your life out anytime. The pub closes in five hours.

Yesterday I went to work with my sister and followed her around all day. It was really cool to see her in action at work. Really cool until I had the following conversation:

Her: I was run over by a car.
Me: That's rough.

That's rough? I'm an idiot. No, I am the king of not knowing what to say to people, so I often end up saying something incredibly stupid. For instance, I told the ticket taker at the theatre, "You too," when she said enjoy your show. If I had a super power it would be, figuring out the exact right thing to say... 24 hours too late. What's your super power.

Nope, don't use cologne. Women

Nope, don't use cologne. Women I date think the smell of sawdust is sexy.

There's only one cologne I've ever really liked wearing; a little something that goes by the name Morbid. It comes in a little black coffin with the tagline, "Morbid. A scent to die for". I noticed my bottle was starting to run low so I went online last night to track down a new one and, much to my disappointment, found out it isn't made anymore. I can't even find a half empty bottle on ebay. So when I run out, it's gone forever. Now I'm going to have to ration the hell out of what precious little I have left.

On a happier note, I’m still on vacation and loving every minute of it. Last night we went to see The Life Aquatic and later this afternoon is Margarita Monday. Mmmm, margaritas chuck full of delicious tequila goodness.

Merry Christmas to all and

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight

Merry christmas everyone! We just got back from church a few minutes ago and now Sarah and I are watching A Christmas Story on t.v. while Bryan prepares a fine pre-holiday feast of Christmas Tacos.

The weekend has advanced beyond

The weekend has advanced beyond your wildest dreams. Weekends now take up the entire week.

Remember last weekend? It was so flippin awesome I wanted to take it off a sweet jump. Especially the part where my dad zinged Preston hard core. And all that ranch dressing... very tasty. Oh and when I hustled Nate out of a beer and then when I hustled Sean out of a beer and then when Gina kept feeding me free beer all night... Good times. Of course I can't forget dominoes and Irish Car Bombs with The Captain. (That's right 5K, I went and bought my own) But the point is; Congratulations to Casey for graduating, then throwing a real kick ass party. It's about time to head to the airport, look for me online straight out of California.

Arrr, it's a pirates life

Arrr, it's a pirates life for me. Yo Ho, pieces of eight, pantaloons and so on.

My Kalamazoo friend Chuck gave me this early Christmas present last night so I would have it on my way out to California. I can’t wait to get on the plane and start reading this awesome book. Thanks again Chuck.

Speaking of Christmas presents, last weekend I gave my mom her gift in the official opening of www.jamros.net. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out.

It's pretty much my favorite

It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Thanks go to Bryan for passing along this flipping awesome link. It's pretty much the best link ever. When you’re done marveling at the mysterious and magical liger, check out my new pics page. I finally got my ass in gear and made something worthwhile. Though I didn’t really make it, I just downloaded, unzipped, uploaded, chmod’ed, and configured it.

If you love her, you

If you love her, you will put the gun down now.

Let me first say that I don't use AIM program but something called Trillian, so this will look a little different to you. However, I assure you, what you are about to look at is from a real AIM profile and for those of you who might not know, that's my AIM name circled in red.

It was like the rubber

It was like the rubber glove part of a physical exam.

Well I don't know about you guys, but as of 9:15 this morning I was done with the semester. So now I'm on break which means it won't be long until I'm in California for two whole weeks. A vacation so awesome, I want to take it off a sweet jump.

You know that movie, Young

You know that movie, Young Frankenstein? Scared the hell out of me.

Yesterday I went to see The Producers with my parents and it was incredible. Mel Brooks is one of, if not the greatest comedian of all time. The play was absolutely chuck full of Mel Brooks style humor and I loved every second of it. If you don't know Mel Brooks style of humor, first get out from under the rock you've been living under all your life; second rent "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", or "History of the World Part 1"; third laugh your ass off.

How wonderfully eccentric while at

How wonderfully eccentric while at the same time being a complete waste of our time.

I didn’t have much to do yesterday afternoon so I went to Blockbuster to rent a movie. The thing about renting movies is, I can’t rent just one, I have to get two. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll spend an hour walking around the video store trying to find something else to rent. I might not even watch both of the movies but I can’t rent just one. Even if I rent a video game I have to find a movie too. Another of my eccentricities is all of my shirts face the same direction in my closet. Though one or two shirts occasionally end up facing the wrong direction, I will never leave Blockbuster with just one movie. What are some of your quirks?

Good grief! I love wearing

Good grief!

I love wearing my Charlie Brown sweater because everywhere I go, people either comment on how much they like it or whisper to each other comments like, "Is that guy wearing a Charlie Brown Sweater?", "Look at that guy's sweater!", or "Man that guy is so hot in his Charlie Brown sweater I'm going to go proposition him right now." So maybe that last one was made up, but this morning at the coffee shop after the girl behind the counter commented on my awesome sweater she went over to the regulars and whispered to them about how awesome my sweater was.

Also I was writing a story in my head this morning on my way to school and when I needed a series of bad events to happen to the main character I thought about S________. Though I am protecting his identity on the Internet, many of you will recognize the man when I say, in one evening S________ dropped a hundred dollars at the casino, received and MIP, and broke up with his girlfriend. Sometimes fact really is better than fiction.
