Walking kinda funny...

Well, I just got home from throwing darts tonight and it was not a pleasant experience (including the burning eyes from the smoke).

We got our asses handed to us 0-11. That is the first time in my 5 years of throwing that we have ever been shut out. How do you even keep a happy face on after that? You shake their hands but you really want to just hit them.

Anywho, I don't even know what to do anymore. This is the worst I have thrown in darts in a long time and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. It is a good thing that there are only 3 weeks or so left but state tourney in 2 weeks has got me a little scared.

On the good side of life I am down 15 pounds now. Someone has a new small child because of me.

Well, since the start of the year I have been trying to drop some weight. At work they started a contest so I figured this was as good of a reason as any to get to work.

I began the year at 267 pounds (I know...where do I keep it all!?!?) and after 5 weeks or so I am down to 255.

I think this is a good pace to keep on and hopefully this will only be the beginning of a long journey.

My god its been a while...

Ok, maybe I should get back on the horse and get this thing rolling again.

I did need to get this put down...

Yesterday the South Dakota Legislature voted down a bill to ban smoking in public places. I am so freaking pissed about it. These bozos know that there will be a vote on it in November if they don't get it passed. They are having such a hissyfit about trying to balance the budget but are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a vote. Idiots!

Anywho, I sent all the cowards an email yesterday giving them my views.

Here is how it went:

Subject: You are a straight up coward!



Why did you vote against SB83? Around 70% of the people of this state want this and you totally ignore the majority. You go and listen to the minority and the people with money (in other words the businesses).

You obviously don't give a damn about people with diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis. This isn't just about bars...its about people like this being able to join a bowling league, dart league or pool league without putting their lives a risk. Hell...they can't even do it for casual recreation!!!

How is this bill any different than the Americans With Disabilities act? It makes businesses give equal access to all people. Please...answer that question!

I am ashamed and feel really sorry for you and will do whatever I can to make sure you are not re-elected unless you fix this mistake.

Good luck to you.

And what did Senator Russell Olsen reply back???

"Thanks for the note."

COWARD!!! Answer my freaking question!!!

Oh dear lord, why me???

Another night of getting only 3 hours of sleep.

Went to bed last night at about 11pm and the last thing I remember was a touch after 2:30.

The last thing I need is this kinda crap 12 days before I fly off to San Diego. My flight leaves at 6:45 in the morning so I don't need this going on before that morning...I can't oversleep.

Even worse...I have to hit the dentist in 7 hours...

Someone shoot me. :(

Gas prices are lower? SO WHAT!

Thing that bugs me lately are all these articles in the paper and on TV that say "Drivers are rejoicing that gas prices are letting them drive more".

What is wrong with you people?

Don't any of you understand that part of the reason gas prices are coming down are because you have been driving less? That if you start driving your larger vehicles again and just plain drive like you used to are going to make the surplus go away and prices go back up?

I am still walking to some places. Combining my trips so I don't have to make multiple trips.

Is this really that hard to understand? But maybe it is because a lot of the people who were complaining about the prices were still driving Suburbans to work and such the whole time.

Its a busy time.

Darts have started.

Bowling has been going for 3 weeks.

So much to do in so little time.

It is funny how summer is usually the time where you get out and do a lot of things. Not me. Seems like the fall and winter are the times I have my activities.

I know I have slacked off here but have no real excuse. Other than I am lazy and just never think about it when I am at home.

Will I get better? Who knows.

All I do know is that I am 4 weeks away from my trip to San Diego with my sister. This will be a good time. (She better have a good time or I am gonna kick her in the butt!)

Well...Time to go have a beer. Happy Friday!

Help me out...digg my story. :)

Dear Commish...

This was a post a fellow clanmate made about me after a fun night of BF2:SF. I just had to preserve it somewhere. :)

TO: Commissioner Major League Baseball
FROM: Confcav
RE: MerlinTW

Commissioner –

I have a suggestion that may return baseball to its original glory as a respected sport – recruit MerlinTW as a pitcher. MerlinTW has extraordinary skill throwing grenades. Just the other night on SF he was chucking ‘nades at me from the top of one building to the top of another building I was on at a virtual distance of approximately 100 yards, and was extremely accurate in his intent without being hindered by distance or range, and all the while under extreme enemy fire mind you. He even took a few rounds to the body without dying while he proceeded to annihilate me; just think how he could withstand a line drive to the chest at the pitcher’s mound. In today’s melodrama of steroid use and inappropriate behavior in the major leagues, he would return respect to this sport as he is clean of body and spirit. Oh, he may enjoy a cold pilsner now and again or teabag a fellow player on the field, but otherwise he would not bring any disrespect to your sport.

I ask that you give serious consideration to this request as it would be a win-win situation for all. If recruited to MLB his income would be supplemented by the high wages earned as a professional player, lend his presence to returning respect to the sport by his throwing ability and non-scandalous behavior, and most importantly, a reprieve for the rest of us to heal up.

Respectfully submitted,

ConfCav

Ok...this site is just cool.

I just had to make a post about this.

For all of us who grew up with a certain Music Television channel that we could watch videos on...this site has a lot of those old vids on it to watch.

Just watched Cameo's "Word Up". Love that song. But who knew that LaVar Burton from Star Trek fame was in that video way back then!

Check it out.

Go Mean Gene!
