Monday Minute (It's Monday right?)

I haven't done the Monday Minute in two weeks. I know I have disappointed all my loyal fans. I will send the two of you fruit baskets as an apology. Link up with Cristy if you want to participate.

 

(1) What's your favorite time of day?

 

When I am at IHOP.

 

(2) Do you and your significant other send sexy texts?

 

Is she sending them to you too? I will tell her to stop.

 

(3) If you got your dream job anywhere in the US, where would you choose to move to?

 

Canada. Didn't we buy that country like two years ago?

 

(4) What are you wearing?

 

A layer of nutella, a pirate hat made from my underwear, one knee-high sock, two capes, elbow pads and jumper cables.

 

(5) If given a choice to skip work for a day, how would you spend the entire day?

 

Giving all the chickens in the U.S. a survey with one question: Which came first the chicken or the rooster?

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.

Trivia Corner: Round 4

Time for round 4 folks. If you don't know the rules read ahead. If you have played before you can skip to the questions.

The game is simple. I pose some trivia question from random categories and you have to give me your answers to earn some points. The first question is usually multiple choice and the rest you have to figure out for yourself. Each question is worth a different amount of points depending on its difficulty and just because I made it worth that many points. There are some guidelines that I do ask you to follow.

They are as such:
(1) Email me your answers to Reviewsyoucantuse@gmail.com. You don't need all the answers, its fine if you only guess one. I will only accept emailed answers because I will be turning off the comments for trivia. (Some people like to spoil it by posting the answers in a comment)
(2) No cheating. Looking the answers up on the Internet takes the fun out of the game. Be honest and a good sport.
(3) Questions will be posted on Tuesdays and the answers will be posted on Wednesdays. Get your answers in on time.
(4) Have fun!!

I will keep track of everybody's points on the sidebar so you can see who is kicking who's ass. In the last game I posted the answers in a post. I am changing things up. I will now be posting the answers on the sidebar each week, just in case you missed the post and don't feel like scrolling down. There is going to be 10 rounds. Whoever has the most points after 10 rounds will be declared the winner and they will receive something special. What you ask? I will tell you sometime down the road. Well I think that is it, let's play!!

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!!

Lame Joke of the Week or the Month or Maybe Even the Year

Two cows are lying in a field. One of them says to the other, “So what do you think about this mad cow disease?”

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!!
