FYI & UPDATE & STUFF




Three weeks ago Tuppence @ Tuppenny Tales awarded me with the Sunshine Blogger award and I totally forgot to post it. Thank you Tuppence for the fantastic award and I'm sorry for forgetting about it. Go check out her blog if you haven't already. Why you ask? Because I said so (that always worked when your mom or dad said it).


I apologize for not having my post 'without using the letter E' up already. I was going to do it this past week but it totally slipped my mine. I will definitely work on it next week and have it up at some point. It's a tough one to write.

I have an English paper, other HW and studying for finals to do this weekend so I won't be reading anybody's posts nor commenting. If you receive a comment from me this weekend please reply to it with: GET BACK TO STUDYING!!! Thank you. I will hopefully be back on Monday to catch up on the awesome blogs that I read.

Voting for the Battle of the Game Show Hosts: 3rd Round ends Sunday night. If you still have not voted go HERE, we need more votes to announce an official winner.

Weird Laws: Part (5x2)-4=6

Here is the next installment of the Weird Laws of the U.S


MISSOURI

In Perryville it is illegal to injure any bird within city limits. How else am I suppose to get my chicken nuggets?

It is illegal for a bar owner to let people drink on his premises between 2 am and 6 am. Sir, this flask is filled with milk, I would never think to disobey the law.

MONTANA

In Billings it is illegal to raise rats as pets. I already have 4 turtles, I was hoping one of the rats could teach them martial arts. I'd call him Splinter.

It is illegal to pretend to abuse an animal in the presence of a minor. Son, I have to kick the shit out of this dog, I'm not allowed to pretend.

NEBRASKA

It is illegal to pilot a plane while drunk. This one doesn't seem weird to me. Who is mixing normal laws in with my weird ones?

It is against the law to marry if you have an STD. Beware of all the single ladies.

NEVADA

In Reno it is illegal to lay down on a sidewalk. That is the best place to take a nap after a long night of gambling.

It is illegal to place a chair or bench on any street. I like to play musical chairs, Russian roulette style.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

It is illegal to check into a hotel under a false name. I guess I have to stop using the name Seymour Buttz.

It is illegal to take seaweed off of the beach at night. You don't want to piss off Aquaman.

NEW JERSEY

It is illegal to sell handcuffs to someone under 18. Too many kinky teenagers in Jersey.

It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while murdering someone. Because that would just be totally unfair to your victim.

Go vote on the Battle of the Game Show Hosts: 3rd Round if you haven't already. It was Tuesdays post. We need more votes!!

Retro Post: Car 54, where are you?

This was my 4th post ever back in August of 2009. I don't think anybody read it, so here is it's rebirth. If you have read it already then cheers to you for searching through my archives.



Ever wonder if you could buy an ambulance? Well you sure can, I have witnessed it first hand. I live with someone that decided it would be a good investment to get a '93 Ford...errr...well ambulance. Why you ask, well to have some sort of a mobile shed. That's always been my dream. Now owning an ambulance might have been cool when you were like 5 but at 50 it's kinda sad. Also when you buy a used ambulance they disconnect the lights and sirens, who the hell wants that? Now to actually own one of these beauts you first have to be a redneck or at least have a little redneck blood pumpin' through your veins.


Now my girlfriend Nicole makes a very valid point about this subject. She wonders how many people died in that thing and what diseases and germs are still floating around in there? I hope whoever sold it (I'm guessing a hospital and not another redneck before him) soaked that shit in some bleach. There might be some sort of new super virus growing in that thing, like a mix of SARS and swine flu with a trace of the plague, yeah that's still going around.


I know what you're thinking, that having an ambulance might be cool. It is actually a huge eye sore like having a giant naked statue of yourself in your yard, nobody wants to see that everyday. This thing also attracts all the ladies, I heard someone installed a pussy magnet in it. "Now if I buy this Hummer you will install pussy magnet...." Now who doesn't love a good Borat joke. I love that movie, i still haven't seen Bruno yet but i heard it's pretty funny but that's for another entry. What was I talking about...? Oh yeah having your own mobile shed. The only time it is acceptable to have your own ambulance is if you are one of the Ghostbusters or Jay Leno (I'm sure he has one).


I found one on Ebay if anybody is intrigued after reading this, only $1800 for an '88. I just put down a deposit on a '97 firetruck. I'm expecting to get it by Christmas.

Where Has the Time Gone?

Yesterday (May 5th) marked 2 1/2 years in our relationship. Time has gone by so fast, it doesn't feel like it has been that long. It still feels like we are in the first couple of months of our relationship. We still possess the new relationship feelings and attitude. You know how after dating someone for awhile you kind of lose that spark in your stomach and things get boring or there isn't as much affection anymore? Well that is not the case for Nicole and I. Just the other night I went over to Nicole's after school for an hour before I had to go to work and I was showing her affection like it was within the first month of us dating. I was kissing her with so much passion and fire. One of the reasons is that she looked just so damn cute, I couldn't resist her lips. It sucked that I had to go to work, I could of kissed her all night without even looking for any sex, even though it would of happened on it's own and would have been fantastic.

I love having these random spurts of cute moments, it keeps the relationship nice and fresh. If there was ever a spontaneous time to propose, the other night would have been perfect (those of you who don't know, we are already engaged).

During our late night nap, I had a dream that Nicole was in the ocean with some friends and a big ass wave came crashing down on them. Without even thinking I jumped in the water and saved Nicole because she needed help. I think this dream shows how much I love her.

One of the things that I love is the silliness we can have. I love tickling her, play fighting and just being cute and cuddly. I hope that we never lose these. They are the essence of our relationship. I am getting more and more excited about the wedding and our future. We are slowly making progress with our wedding plans. We have compiled part of our guest list. Nicole has found a few dress styles and invitation ideas that she likes. Next week we are looking at another place to have the wedding. It is a hotel that looks like a giant castle with a great view. I went to a prom there so I know it's nice. I will keep everyone updated with whatever we have in the mix.
