Geeks


I remember the days when geeks stood proudly behind their titles of "Biggest Geek I Know" and "King of Geeks". Where did those days go? My geeky brother apparently has a problem with being called my geeky brother, he used to be so proud of the title of "geek" and would even boast, in his own geeky way, that he was a geek.

I'll bet that getting married and having a kid changed his opinion on geeks, even though he was a geek when he met his wife and I am sorry to say he will always be somekind of a geek much to his daughters dismay (in a few years at least when she starts to realize what is going on in the world). It is just who he is. We all know he is a geek and accept that with the occasional groan and shake of the head.

There is nothing really wrong with being a geek. Look at Bill Gates, he is a really big geek(although a rich one) and he practically could rule the world. Computer geeks are actually sought after and there appeal to is women growing all the time.

He will probably be mad at me for writing this but to bad it is my blog and I can write what I want to. Besides I was told he never wants to read my blog ever again anyway even though he was only mentioned once before this. He has been tainted with the truth. I will just have to use his really name from now on when I blog about him (and I will).

Wedding Bells are Going to Chime

Well, we got back from Tiffin's sister's wedding and I am still tired the next day. We packed so much into our weekend it was insane. The Schwab family is great (most of them at least). He will be a great addition to the family. You all will probably like him. They are moving to G.R. later this year, should be fun.

Anyway, there was lots of drinking and dancing, just like any good wedding should have, and I probably drank at least a half a bottle of champage and 3+ other drinks. And for the dollar dances there was cherry brady that Mr. Schwab made. It really packs a punch and takes a year to make, but I asked for one for Christmas anyway, we will see if I get it. We even brought the rest of the bottle back with us to the hotel and were drinking it at the after party.

Tiffin even got out on the dance floor and ikyam was dancing up a storm as well. It was great.

Tiffin's Aunt hadn't had a drink since last fall because she is on a diet and has lost close to 64 pounds and is looking to lose more but she was celebrating with us all and got sooo drunk. She is a great drunk. She even went and confronted her ex-husband (who is a really big giant loser). He was there since he is Tiffin's mom's brother. The Aunt is so much cooler and we hate her ex-husband almost as much as she does. But she was out on the dance floor for a good chunk of the night too. Tiffin's mom was dancing more than I have seen before as well as his dad. It was a great atmosphere.

Tiffin's cousin is getting married this fall as well and that should be a great wedding as well. The aunt mentioned early is the mother and Tiffin's parents are the Master and Mistress of Ceremony and Reception.

I seriously doubt that the wedding on my side of the family this fall will be nearly as fun as the ones on Tiffin's side.

Jen Power's is getting married July 22 and that should be a great wedding reception.

I think that is all the weddings for the year, but who knows what will happen with love in the air.

Sunbeam
















The Cats love the sunbeams even though Greta is mad at Murdock for having to share, there is plenty to go around today. Sometimes I can catch all 4 sharing but usually it is the first come first serve with 2 maybe 3. The dark cats can get so warm that when you pet them they are almost too hot to touch. They love it.

Tax Day

Does anyone else hate their birthday?

Mine is this Saturday and nothing good ever seems to be equated with April 15. Its tax day. Lincoln died. Titanic sunk. I'm sure there is more but those are all that I commited to memory.

When I was little I liked my birthday, but once I hit 15 or so things changed. Now I really don't like my birthday.

Tiffin tries to help but birthdays were never that big of a deal in his family, in fact one year his parents completely forgot it until a couple of weeks later. But he is still the best part of my birthday.

I am excited about were we are going Saturday though. We are going to The Melting Pot over by Celebration. I've been wanting to go ever since I knew it was there. It's a fondue resturant and it is a little pricey but I have a coupon for free dessert so that should help. Check it out at meltingpot.com. (I don't know how to do automatic links)

The Five Love Languages

The Five Love Languages
Your primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation.



Complete set of results
Acts of Service: 9
Words of Affirmation: 9
Quality Time: 6
Physical Touch: 4
Receiving Gifts: 2


Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

I F*cking Love Cleave!


Well, Tiffin is in the basement playing DnD with all his Target and ex-Target buddies. He is just that cool that he gets to play twice this week, he usually only plays once. You all are invited on Wednesdays to my geeky brothers house after the comic book shop closes to play random games - usually some kinda of role-play game - usually DnD. Some of you would have to travel alot farther than others though.

Anyway, I am bored out of my mind and really, really want to go shopping and buy non-essential stuff but we're broke right now with my mom's, NiSi's and my birthday all in the next week or so. Hopefully I get some good loot. I already know that my geeky brother and NiSi got me a cool (hopefully cool) cupcake carrier/holder. I really wanted one for all my cool cupcakes I make. I could spend so much money at baking supply stores it is not even funny. I walk in to a Bed Bath and Beyond or a Linen's and Things and see all sorts of stuff I "need". It's amazing what they have come out with.

So I picked out a monster for the guys to fight with double standard treasure and then baked some chocolate chip cookies and I call that a successful night.

Stupid Girls

Why do girls always date the wrong guy and then wonder what went wrong when it was obvious they were dating a really big loser? Case in point - the drunk blond is dating a drug dealer. Though she didn't go back to the verbally abusive, almost always jobless, full of himself loser she was dating for a long time there, she is now dating a guy who threatened to kill her last time they broke-up (not unlike last loser). When I asked her why she got back together with the drug dealer she said, and I quote, "I don't know, I'm stupid I guess". To which I respond if you know you are being stupid get the hell out of that relationship. She responded but I love him. They had only been back together for like a week and she had refused to talk to him for the roughly 4 months between now and the last time they dated. I don't think she knows what love is.

The drunk blond is a social worker who works with paroles and other such people weekly for her student internship for pychology. She puts people like her boyfriend back in jail all the time. It seems very hypocritical over her do be dating the same type of person that she condemns. Also she is suppose to be very into the Christian ideals, which I do not believe are associating with people who find joy preying on the weak and addicted who would rather buy drugs than feed their children and pay their bills.

It is something that thousand if women do all the time - dating/marrying the losers of the world and I wish that they had more common sense than that. There are even men that do the same thing with the horrid women of the world but in seems to to more widespread with the women with the loser men.

I think Bullriding is Sexy



I just finished watching bullriding on OLN, which I got hooked on last year for some reason, and you know in sports when someone gets injured they replay it over and over from different angles. This one guy just got bucked off and planted his right foot solidly on the ground, but the rest of his body didn't follow through correctly and he snapped his femur in two. It was quite obvious that is what happened but it became really painful to watch in extra slow motion when, at the right camera angle you can see the exact moment the bone snapped. He just laid there and called the med team over and very calmly said my leg is broken, he hardly looked like a guy about to have a metal rod shoved though the insides of his leg it was broken so bad. But I bet he'll be back as soon as humanly possible.
