The Briar Patch

A family member I dislike?? Seriously that could be a bad idea for most people!! I mean it sounds like a fight in the making. If anyone reads your blogs. But I dont have a family member I dislike. I guess I am lucky like that. So I guess I will change this one up again, and just talk about family. First off before I get into it, family is a huge deal. BUT to me not all family is blood. Ya there is nothing in the world I wouldnt do for my brothers, mom, dad and so on. But I have met a ton of people who are family. Cheezy as Fast and the Furious is I do agree with Dom. Some people become family. I come from a strange one. My mom had me at 16, I have yet to meet my father. So I grew up with only her family.  Grandma and Grandpa were always around. In fact at least once a week I spent the night there. I had my own bedroom there. We spent a ton of time with grandmas family. She had 4 siblings, they all had about 3 kids and they all had kids so my generation of that part of my famil...

I LOVE PLAYON! Seriously, or at least lust! Day one is finished, we won 2 outta 3. And I “think” we should play tomorrow or that is the rumor. Now lets break it down so far the good, the bad, the hockey. First the set up is annoying. All the shit they want you to buy. Buy a hat, buy balls, by water bottles!! Sure its cool but I don’t have the funds for that. Right now you are paying $90 for 3 games. MAYBE more games but only 3 for sure. So for 1 fun afternoon you are at $30 a game! The $70 is fine but the $20 to WEM is bullshit. You are forcing people to shop at WEM and I get it. They let us use the lot BUT the fact is most people are gonna go in anyways and shop. Our waitress on Bourbon said it is their busiest day so why force it on people, we are already headed in!! The other thing is most people are getting custom shirts. That is $30 minimum, trust me I looked into that a lot! So really 3 games 1 afternoon is costing $120. If you don’t play Sunday that is $40 a game and that i...

I have two morning routines. One for the Monday to Friday and one for the weekends and holidays. They are kinda similar but I will explain both. First off I never used to be a morning person, but my little buddy / dog Kato changed that! It used to be 10 - 11 was time to get up and 715 on week days just enough time to shower and get to work was good. Not no more! Weekdays go like this. My alarm is set for 555. The truth is my neighbour sets his alarm off at 500 so usually I lay awake pondering nothing but maybe writing something in my head that may or may not make it to paper. Funny how my stories or blogs are usually written in my head in bed before I fall asleep or get up or in the shower. Anyway at 555 I get up. My dog bolts out of his kennel. I pee and if I am checking my blood I poke. Then we go to the boulevard for him to pee. If it is winter we actually put on a jacket if not sometimes we go in our boxers. He growls at any bunny or bird while he pees. Then we come in and he get...

So I am supposed to look at my sign and see if it actually fits me. Easiest way I figured was to copy the traits. So I did that, I guess I will go through it and see if it actually fits.... Cancer Strength Keywords: - Loyalty - Dependable - Caring - Adaptable - Responsive Umm I think most of these are right. I would say I am pretty loyal. Dependable I dunno, I can be kinda flaky sometimes. Unless it is important the I would say I usually show up. Caring, ya. I do care a lot about a lot but I do try and ignore it too. I learned you have to care about yourself to. Adaptable, hellz ya. I would say I can adapt to ALMOST anything. Responsive, not sure wtf that means so I dunno. Cancer Weakness Keywords: - Moody - Clingy - Self-pitying - Oversensitive - Self-absorbed Moody, yes. I have learned to hide my moods pretty well at work but I can be a moody bastard. Clingy I am gonna deny, I would say no. Self pitying, I can be. I know more than once I have said poor me even when ...

SO play the first three songs on random on my music player eh? That is easy enough, I freakin love music!! Now here is the problem, my music player on my laptop isnt nearly all songs I like. See a few years back I was making a list at my desk of songs to burn onto a CD for my truck. I had a friend/coworker/roomate who secretly took the list and downloaded all the songs by everyone on that list for me. Which is awesome. I have a shit ton of music. The thing is I only like 3 songs my Marilyn Manson and Megadeath but I have their entire catalog. Then I bought this cheap ass laptop simply for writing and hockey pools. Well I wanted music so I put the drive in and now I have a ton of music 60% I love and 40% I skip.... So here goes. I don't know why but it always starts off with Rage Against the Machines cover of I'm Housing. I am not even going to count this one cause it always plays. Rage will always remind me of High School and being an idealist. When I though everything was pl...

5 fears that I have, that should be an easy one. Then I put a bit of thought into it. Oher than spiders I dont have a ton of fears. Or not like things I lok at that scare me so I will put a couple things that do bug me in with a few real fears I have. So lets start with my biggest fear... Being nothing in the end, not even being an average dude. I really want to be published some day. In fact I wish I could make a living telling stories, writing blogs something. I admit it I want the world to hear me and to make money at that. In reality I know that only happens for what 1% or less of the population. So I learned I can live without that, I really can. What I cant handle is feeling less than the average Joe. Years ago I worked in a kitchen. It was a great time I enjoyed my job and co workers. But the money was shit. I would never get anywere in my life and I saw these guys who were 40s and 50s living in rentals and I didnt want that. So I quit and got a warehouse job. SLOWLY I have so...

Black, would be my favorite color but I guess that isn't really a color. Most of my hats and clothes are black, but since black is the absence of color I would have to go with either red or purple. Both are good colors.... I have liked red forever I think. I dunno why. I mean dark rich red. Not something light or close to pink. I mean real deep red. It also goes well with black.... And it is a Christmas color, which is by far my favorite holiday. The red wings are my favorite hockey team and my first truck was red. My favorite tie is red, as a fun side note. I cant tell you why I like red but if I cant use black as a color I think it would have to be red. Oh and red heads are hot! Not like the gingery kind but the real red. Then there is purple. Again it has to be the dark purple. What can I say I like dark colours. I have a couple nice dress shirts BUT my favorite one is purple. It goes great with my black jacket. If I could pull off a purple jacket like the Joker I totally wo...
