A Post about Something

I normally don't talk about my real life on this blog because that is not what this blog is about. However I like to keep those who care updated on the good stuff. I also find random humor that I make up off the top of my head more humorous than my actual life.

Last semester was my first full time semester at school. I had little free time. I worked and did homework when I wasn't at at school. I also had to squeeze in some quality time with Nicole. Let's just say it was a busy four months. Well somehow I managed to pull out five A's. My grandma thinks I am a genius, she may be on to something. I am a bit of an over achiever now than compared to what I was like in high school. That can be summed up in one word; lazy. I had a month off before this current semester started. I have no idea where it went. First it was Christmas and then I was starting classes again. I have no idea what I did in the past 4-5 weeks. I plan to get straight A's again this semester. I'm pretty sure teachers accept bribes nowadays if I don't get the grades I want.

In other news there has been some progress on the wedding front. Last week on Wednesday the 19th between the hours of 5 pm and 6pm, Nicole and I booked our DJ, photographer and videographer. We have no money so we had to sign over our future 2nd born, my kidney, her engagement ring, and half of my DVD collection. It was either sign those things over or Nicole have sex with the guy. I had no problem going with option 'B' but Nicole apparently had the final say.
So far we have our wedding date (October 20, 2012), our venue and our entertainment/photography. I also have her wedding ring. It came with her engagement ring as a matching set. She still needs to get my ring. The one I want has a laser pointer on it. I know I'm fancy like that.
We are going to a bridal show at our venue on Super Bowl Sunday. Don't worry guys, it's from 12-5 so I won't miss any of the game. I'm not a complete fool. I'm going to support Nicole and for all the delicious food. Should be exciting.

In other news I love cheese.

Top Ten Songs - Music Blogfest

If you have no idea what this is then you should visit Alex J. Cavanaugh who is the host of this here blogfest.
I shouldn't of waited until the last second to come up with this list. I think I had more than a month to think about it. The due date came up so fast. One day I will learn not to wait until the last minute but I doubt it. I think it may be instinctual. This is a much harder list to come up with than favorite movies or actors. There are so many damn good tunes out there. So in no particular order, I will give it a go.

Song - Artist


Tiny Dancer - Elton John (Probably my all time favorite song)



Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day


Wonderwall - Oasis


Machinehead - Bush


Fortunate Son - Creedance Clearwater Revival


Keep on Loving You - REO Speedwagon


Shackled - Vertical Horizon


Kryptonite - 3 Doors Down


Ramble On - Led Zeppelin

I would highly recommend looking up any songs on here you don't know and giving it a listen. Okay I could probably redo this list like 20 times and still not be happy with what I put. This is my first draft and I am keeping it this way otherwise I will never be happy with it. I would put most of Green Day songs up there because they are my all time favorite band but I can't play favorites. Dammit!! I have so many alternates to put. Why can't this be a top 50 blogfest. Arrggghhh!!

The other says, “What do I care? I’m a helicopter.”

A First for 2011

An event took place last week that hasn't happened to me in 5 months. Get your minds out of the gutter. It has been way too long since I received a blogger award. I mean I was getting awards left and right at one point. I don't know what happened but I will get to the bottom of this mystery.

Even though I would much rather receive a sandwich, Oilfield Trash over at Make Daddy a Sammich, bestowed a new award upon me. It is called the "Life is Good" award. I really have no idea why I am getting this award other than I complained that he didn't award me with another award in a previous post of his. Note to self: Find a thesaurus and look up another word for award, you have used it too much already. 


Thank you Oilfield Trash for accepting my bribe and giving me this award.

 

Frankly you probably don't care that I got this award. It doesn't come with any money, flowers or spinning rims. You should care though because just maybe I will give you the award and it WILL come with spinning rims, you know how long you've been waiting to get some of those.

I am going to award it to just a few bloggers. I will choose blogs that I just found recently and some that I have enjoyed for awhile because that is the way I roll.


The Sassy Curmudgeon - I have only read like 2 posts but I love this blog already. I have to thank Passionofthemom over at Something to Talk About for telling me about this funny blog.

La Esquina de la Estrellita - Baby Sister is the owner of this one. Don't let the name fool you, she writes in English. She is down to Earth, funny and writes about her day to day life.

Disguised as a Grown-Up - I love Marlene's snark and who wouldn't?

 Something to Talk About - Passionofthemom's posts are always amusing and she boggles my mind with her movie knowledge. I quiz her with trivia games and she blows my mind.

I would tell you to go check out those blogs and give the bloggers some love but we both know that you are going to do what you are going to do and nothing I say is going to change that.

I believe there were some questions attached to this award. If you know me by now I don't answers questions in the traditional sense. If you have read any of my Monday Minute answers then you know what I am talking about.


1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing this? If you aren't anonymous, do you wish you started out anonymously, so that you could be anonymous now?

I am Powdered Toast Man and that is all that you need to know.

2. Describe an incident that shows your inner stubborn side. 

People have an inner stubborn side? I keep mine in my sock drawer with my short temper and lack of confidence.

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?

I see Abe Vigoda in a bathrobe, for some reason my reflection resembles Abe Vigoda,

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?


Honey Ham juice margarita, no ice.

5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?

I don't think I should tell you. It involves 4 bananas, 2 jars of mayo, an evening gown, a hoola hoop, a kiddie pool, a cardboard cut-out of Dick Clark and jumper cables.



6. Is there something that you still want to accomplish in your life?

To find Waldo.

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever, the shy person, or always ditching? 

I was the one with the adult diapers and helmet.


8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what would you see?

When a made the perfect omelet.


9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog, or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people and events?

About 180 pounds, why do you ask?


10. If you had the choice to sit down and read a book or talk on the phone, which would you do and why?

I would combine them and have someone read me a book over the phone. Take that single-tasking!!

Problems in Jellystone Park

Ranger Smith and Boo Boo have been worried about Yogi Bear for a long time now. They think his obsession with stealing picnic baskets has gotten way out of hand. They have decided to do the best thing for Yogi by staging an intervention. The Ranger and Boo Boo have brought Yogi to our studios to talk to him. Yogi doesn't know he is heading into an intervention. He thinks he is here to meet RawknRobyn and The Invisible Seductress. He is huge fans of them both and wants their autographs real bad. I, Powdered Toast Man, will be in charge of the intervention. I have no prior experience (don't tell Ranger Smith and Boo Boo that, they are paying me a hefty sum to do this) and I am just going to wing it. Shhh, here they come now.



PTM: Welcome fellas, take a seat and we will get started (Locks door behind them).

Yogi Bear: I am so excited. I have always wanted to meet RawknRobyn and Seductress. They are my favorite bloggers and I have a huge crush on one of them.

Ranger Smith: Yeah, well, I have a huge crush on  (peering at Boo Boo). I mean, how long will this take? I've got a meeting with Mrs. Possum in 15 minutes. (He sets the alarm on his watch).
  
Boo Boo:  I live directly across from Mrs Possum! In fact if I leave my window shades up she can see RIGHT in my shower but she moved out months ago! I have seen a strange realtor videotaping from the window, though they're probably just getting it ready to sell.

PTM: Well Yogi, there has been a change of plans. Unfortunately, we tricked you into coming here. You are here for a different reason. You are not here to see Robyn and Seductress. You have a serious problem and we are all here to help you

Yogi Bear: Is it because of my chronic masturbation?

PTM: Err, no but we might get back to that afterwards. Go ahead Boo Boo, tell him why he is here.

Boo Boo: Are you sure we couldn't address the chronic masturbation issue first PTM? There has not been an unviolated fruity pastry in Jellystone Park for years, and maybe the two are related! Yogi, pie violations aside, your picnic basket thievery has gotten out of hand and we are here to help you work through it.

PTM: Ranger Smith, is there anything you want to add before we get started?

Ranger Smith: (Eyeing Boo Boo, licking his lips) What? Oh, no, not a thing to add.

Yogi Bear: @#$% all of you.

.PTM: Now Yogi, there is no reason for such language. We are here to help.

Yogi Bear:  Who put you in charge anyway? And why is your head shaped like a piece of bread?

PTM: They put me in charge and I was born this way.

Boo Boo: I do see the issue here PTM. Your warm buttery accentuated head and finely sculptured abs wrapped entirely in flattering blue Lycra makes my mouth water! Are you seeing anybody?

PTM: Thank you Boo Boo for that disturbing compliment. As a side note I'm not attracted to male bears unless they are in the circus.

Ranger Smith: (Clearing his throat, sticking chest out, and unbuttoning top shirt button) Lycra is my specialty, Boo Boo

Yogi Bear: What the hell is going on here?!? How is it that I'm the one with the problem?

PTM: The first step is admitting you have a problem. Oh wait, that's the 11 step program.

Yogi Bear: Don't you mean the 12 step program you sorry excuse for a man. Are you even qualified to be running an intervention. Where did you go to college?

PTM: I didn't exactly err go to umm *cough* . Never mind me. Now where was I? Dammit you stupid ass Bear, I've lost my train of thought. Ranger Smith, put this Bear in his place while I try to figure out what I was gonna say.

Ranger Smith: Yogi, I’m afraid I need to discipline you again. Remember who’s the boss? (Wink).

Yogi Bear: I'm going to say Angela, no Tony, no definitely Angela is the boss. Mona wishes she could be the boss. Oh Alyssa Milano, if only I weren't a bear.

Boo Boo: And if only Alyssa was a warm pastry!! (Nudge, nudge) right Yogi??

PTM: Yogi,why do you feel the need to steal picnic baskets?

Yogi Bear: Probably because my dad abandoned me when I was only 6 and my mom verbally and physically abused me.

PTM: Really, wow, I didn't know that. I am so sorry.

Yogi Bear: Ahhh what a douche, you actually believed me?

PTM: That's not funny Yogi. Why can't you take this seriously?

Yogi Bear: Did you hear they took the word gullible out of the dictionary? You should check.

PTM: I already fell for that when Fred Flintstone got me with it. I'm not falling for it again.

Yogi Bear: Hey Boo Boo, do you believe this guy? What an arse!

Ranger Smith: (Looking up "gullible" in his handy pocket dictionary.)  Mmmhmm, just as I suspected. It's right here on page 58, with a little picture of me. Look, Boo Boo. (Whispering) You can't tell from the photo, but I was wearing blue Lycra underneath my uniform. (Wink, wink).

Boo Boo: Can I lick your cheek PTM?

PTM: Okay Boo Boo you can get one lick but that's it.

(Boo Boo spreads a little butter on PTM's cheek and slowly licks it off. He then tries to caress PTM's abs).

PTM: (slapping Boo Boo's paw) Keep your hands off my abs, you can look but not touch.

Boo Boo:  Yogi, I think maybe our relationship has come to a climax (Stares lovingly at PTM).

Yogi Bear: But Boo Boo who is going to be my catcher on those cold, cold nights? You have always been there to help relieve my "stress".

Boo Boo: Those are not my fondest of memories and we promised NOT to speak of it!! We NEVER need to speak of it!!

PTM: I am curious to know the details of those events. It seems like you two have a lot of unresolved issues that you need to work out. I would like to have you too back here another time to discuss them.

(Boo, Boo hides in the corner and starts sobbing)

Ranger Smith: (His watch alarm goes off) Time's up. I gotta go. I can't keep a good Possum waiting, fellas if you know what I mean. I’ll catch you later, Boo Boo (Wink, wink).

PTM: Well, I suppose we will end the intervention there. No use continuing without the Ranger. Next time we will have Chuck Norris in to discuss why he wouldn't let Ranger Smith become a Texas Ranger.

Yogi Bear: Are we going to talk about my masturbation problem now?

PTM: No Yogi, I'm sorry but we are all out of time for today. Call up my secretary tomorrow and schedule a meeting. I will see if Dr. Phil is available to sit down with us. He owes me a favor after I took care of that "problem" that him and Oprah had.

Yogi Bear: In that case I need to use the bathroom. (He runs off into the bathroom with a huge erection).

PTM:  (whispers to himself) I need to find another line of work. I wonder if the Red Lobster is still hiring?


I want to throw out a big thanks to RawknRobyn and The Invisible Seductress for lending their talents for this intervention. Robyn played the part of Ranger Smith and Seductress played the part of Boo Boo. Thank you girls, you were awesome as always. I played the parts of PTM and Yogi Bear. I hope Yogi finds the help he needs.

Speed Reviewing

I have some things to review but they each don't need their own post so I decided to review them all in one post. I call it Speed Reviewing (sort of like speed dating without the awkwardness).

McDonalds McRib - I ate this a few months ago when it was all the rage. All the cool kids were doing it so I had to jump on the bandwagon (I decided that's what I'm naming my band if the name isn't taken already). I was very disappointed. It did not taste magical at all. There were no fireworks, leprechauns or unicorns around when I took my first bite. There was barely any sauce (and I loves me some bbq sauce). For some reason there were pickles on it. Spongebob must have fallen asleep at the grill and though it was a hamburger. It tasted okay but for what I was expecting it did not satisfy. As a side note the french fries tasted old and stale.

Gentleman Jack (Jack Daniels rare whiskey) - I asked for this for Christmas from Nicole and like the obedient fiance she is, she got it for me (quite down you women's rights activists, I was only joking about the obedient part). I have always been a fan of Jack and his whiskey. Jack and coke is a combo I can always count on when I need a little liquor in my system. It came with this cool coffin-like carrying case (for the drunk on-the-go). I decided to try it straight up because I assumed that is what it is meant for. After it burned a hole in my esophagus I decided that I'm too much of a pussy to drink it straight up. I have tried it mixed with Coke, diet Coke and cherry Dr Pepper. Surprisingly the diet Coke tasted the best and was the smoothest. I didn't put a lot of Jack in it to overpower it. The Dr Pepper was the worst mix because it didn't mix. When I drank it I first tasted the soda then the Jack. You suck Dr Pepper and I bet you're not even a real doctor.

 


Blue Point Blueberry Ale - I already know what you are thinking - Blueberry beer? That's gay! That is a screwed up thing to think, shame on you all. I found this brew in Virginia Beach when Nicole and I went on vacation over the summer. I meant to write about it in my vacay posts but I never finished those so I bring it to you now. We went to a new tavern in town and they had a lot of micro brews on tap so I said what the hey. I normally don't drink beer but something inside of me yearned for it. Once I brought the mug to my face the aroma of juicy, fresh blueberries tickled my nose hairs. I was hooked from the first sip. It was delicious. It wasn't too heavy and went down nice and smooth unlike other beers I have had. After I gulped this down I made a mistake. I ordered a sampler of five other beers in shot glasses. None of them compared to the taste of the Blue Point. After the sampler I didn't want another beer. First chance I got when I got home I went in search of the Blueberry Ale. I found it at a semi-local beer distributor. I liked it the second time around but it hasn't tasted as good as the first one I had. I came to find out on the way to a friend's house that it is sold at A&P Supermarkets. Whoopee!! I thought it was an unknown micro brew. If you like blueberries then I highly recommend this ale. The aroma is stronger than the taste.


'Just the Cheese' Blog - Hilarious, awesome and buttery. That Powdered Toast Man can sure deliver some laughs. Remember that time he said 'penis'? Classic.

Okay maybe these reviews weren't as speedy as I thought they would be. Sue me. (actually please don't, i have no money nor assets, unless you count my Original Lincoln Logs)

Random question: Do you think a burger should automatically come with cheese?

FYI: Answers to this week's Trivia Corner are posted on the left sidebar.

My First Post of 2011 - 2010 Eat Your Heart Out

Well, this is my first post of 2011. Let's get things started off with a bang. I know you love my Monday Minute answers.



(1) If you could go on a road trip with any person (dead or alive) who would you go with and where would you go to?
I would go on a road trip with the lady from Subway that makes my sandwiches. We would travel across the country stopping at all the Subways and she would personally make me whatever I wanted.
 
 (2) If you knew you had 24 hours left to live, name three things you would do in the time you had left.
Streak naked through a bingo game at a senior home; try to fall flat on my face without bracing the fall with my hands or arms; break into the zoo, pet and try to ride a giraffe.
 
 (3) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Cookie Monster
 
(4) Out of the last five years of your life, which was the worst and why?
 The year before I discovered blogging, the answer is very obvious. (it may has something to do with blogging)
 
(5) Out of the last five years of your life, which was the best and why?
2011, I haven't stubbed my toe yet.
