This is what happens when I'm bored!!!!

Man I’m starting to feel old. I was watching TV a few days ago when I ran across vh1’s TOP 100 SONG’S OF THE 90’s. As I sat there and stared at this program that basically relived my childhood I noticed some songs automatically triggered memories to some of the stuff that was going on in my life when they were popular. So I’m going to have some fun and give my own commentary on all 100 songs…we will start with 100-50…

50. Alice in Chains "Man in the Box"- Yeah wasn’t a big fan of AIC. I can’t stand that man’s voice
51. Tupac (featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman) "California Love"- Ahhhh yeah…This was off the hook I love me some Tupac.
52. Sugar Ray "Fly"- I used to think Mark Mcgrath’s name was sugar ray. This song always reminds me of summertime and I don’t know why.
53. Naughty by Nature "O.P.P."-To be honest I really don’t remember this one all to well.
54. Joan Osborne "One of Us"-I always thought her voice sounded a lot like Jill Ferguson’s , I was pissed when they said Joan’s nose ring was fake.

56. L.L. Cool J "Mama Said Knock You Out"-Yeah Mr.Cool J was awesome…I’m gonna knock you out…momma said knock you out….

58. Sophie B. Hawkins "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover"…I,I,I got nothing
59. Weezer "Buddy Holly"-This was one of the best bands of the 90’s in my book…I think the sweater song was better though

63. The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Mase & Puff Daddy "Mo Money Mo Problems"-That’s the truth isn’t it?? I mean I’m poor and I have no problems….wait that’s not right.
64. The Presidents of the United States of America "Peaches"-one of the most under rated bands of the 90’s, their songs had no meaning whatsoever but they were catch as all get out.
65. Digital Underground "The Humpty Dance"-That fact that the song has the lyrics “Do me baby” In it makes this a great song…..
66. Edwin McCain "I'll Be"-Have you ever seen this guy? He look’s like a hippe and a Grunge rocker made a baby…but the song was ok..It reminds me of high school dances in the cafeteria. 67. Deee-Lite "Groove Is In The Heart"—I really didn’t do drugs so this song had no meaning to be
68. Will Smith "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"-IT’S F’ING WILL SMITH WHAT DO YOU THINK?

71. Arrested Development "Tennessee"-I think I was in like 8th Grade when this came out so I liked it…
72. Barenaked Ladies "One Week"-This song still bothers me…what the heck was he saying when he was singing fast…The only part I ever got was chckata Chinese the Chinese chicken……. 73. Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy"-I remember listening to this song and driving to Lawrence with Paul….Probably to do something stupid.

78. Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way"-nothin

94. Fastball "The Way"- This was actually based on a real news article, what kind of messed up people would do this? Even better what kind of messed up people would write a song about it..
95. Montell Jordan "This is How We Do It"-you couldn’t go to a part in the 90’s without hearing that song

This is just to make some people happy!!

What a weekend ! First off Brooke and I met with some builders on Saturday, we got a quote for our new house and it looks like we might be in the new house late fall or early winter. I am so excited about this. Sunday was a fun day (sarcasm) I run the media at my church, and when I got there Sunday to check on everything I found out that the computer had crashed and we had to everything the old fashioned way…that’s right old school overhead projector. I really our church, the smallness of it and the quality of people you meet. Sunday night was bad…I got a touch of the flu..so it was like a mini battleground in my intestines…and the food lost. So that led to me calling in sick on Monday…which was awesome because I got to play NCAA College football ’08 on my xbox all day. The only bad part was I couldn’t hold my daughter because I was sick. Today has been better though, I am looking forward to just going home tonight and spending time with my wife and daughter. Oh random thought …I loves Kansas where else can it be 60 outside one day and snow on the ground the next..it really does tick me off. So anyway Amy I hope your happy now that I have posted today. I’m tired and ready to go home…..I’m out!

I got nothing

Wow what a day yesterday was. I got my first real test as a Customer service rep yesterday. I had to cover Suni’s desk since she was out all day. The day started out normal and quite. Then all hell broke loose. I had one customer call and was mad about his shipment going to the wrong place, and the freight carrier being wrong…that was the majority of my day. I had other issues to take care of as well, but it was worth it. I finally felt like I contributed something to my company, I haven’t had the feeling since I left the plant floor over 9 months ago. Dan and Amy came over last night it’s always nice to see them…we didn’t even do much but I think that’s a testament to our friendship, We don’t always have to do stuff sometimes we can just hang out. I am getting pretty excited about my friend Paul’s work schedule getting back to normal soon. I have a lot of respect for him, He has been working 12 hour days 6 days a week for the past couple of months and it’s almost over. When his schedule gets back to normal I see Brooke and myself doing quite a bit more with Paul and Rachel.(we miss doing stuff with them,). I got nostalgic last night and started reminiscing about my youth, I broke out my senior book for the first time in like 4 years.I was reading the crap I put in there and all I can say is …HOLY CRAP I WAS AN IDIOT..I’m pretty sure every single person that went to high school with me could attest to that. It’s amazing to look back and see how little you have actually grown upJ. Anyway back to reality Suni (FABULOUS) didn’t get me a Cal Ripken Jr. autograph yesterday….but I will forgive her for that. My buddy Terry isn’t at work today so it’s kind of quite……to quite. Well I guess I should actually do something today. Sorry everything is so random that’s just what my head is like!

Here, There and Everywhere

It’s been a good morning so far, my work load has been light to this point and the phones are semi-quite. I had band practice last night and that was awesome, I really do enjoy the time I get to spend with Josh, Jesse and Brandon. I miss Addison a lot though, for those of you who don’t know Addison was our original bass player who decided to leave the band a couple of months ago. Brooke and I visited our old church in Shawnee last Sunday, It was nice to see everyone again, some people didn’t even realize that we had a baby. But going back got me to thinking how much I don’t miss that place. I mean It seems like a lot of people I know are wanting to get out of the town they live in and go to somewhere bigger and better, But in my mind I just keep asking why? I guess it’s because I was the same way, before Brooke and I got married I had never lived outside of Tonganoxie and after 21 years I was ready to get the heck out and move to the “city”. So when Brooke and I first got married we moved to Gardner and I loved it, So much so that when the time came for us to move to Princeton I didn’t want to go, I remember saying our friends were up here our church is up here and our jobs are up here we would be stupid to leave. Well flash forward 5 years to today, where do I stand now? If I can fight it I will never live in the big city again. It took me awhile to get to the point of admitting that but I’m glad got there. Sure it was nice having everything close by and sure it nice to go get groceries right across the street, but I wasn’t happy. I didn’t know anyone in the apartments where we lived. We really didn’t do much with our friends even though they lived close. But none of that compares to a small town atmosphere. I love how people are just nice. Everyone says hello and well it’s just a feeling you can’t get in the city, Ok now that I have rambled on about that I want to close by saying Suni is feeling better…FABULOUS!! And Amy is driving me nuts. Oh and my best friend Scott Is a blowhole ( I’m not quite sure how insulting that is but is just fits him today) . Tune In later I might have some bitter diatribe toward women named Amy.

Blah

So It’s 3:40pm and I’m still sitting here staring at my computer screen, I am bored out of my mind. I’m still confused on where the invoice I have been looking for all day is. I’m going to take a stab at it and say it is on my boss’s desk because that’s where they normally are. But I will ask her and she will say she doesn’t have it then I will go look again and again and again then it will magically show up on her desk, I think she has something against me. Oh well. Today has been one of those days. I really enjoy this place, I like the people I work with a lot. I think Terry, Suni and Richard are my favorite people here at Robbie. They make my day FABULOUS!! I am really loving being a dad, and I have to say my wife Brooke is the most amazing wife and mother, I know I don’t say it enough to her but she means the world to me. My daughter has got to be the cutest baby EVER!!!( I know I know I biased) It is just such an awesome feeling. Anyway off to my final hour of work before band practice.

Today!

As I sit here in my blue and gray nightmare that is my cubicle I can’t keep my mind from wondering, I think I have a rare form of adult A.D.D., I say rare because I can be doing one thing and as soon as someone says work I turn catatonic. So what is going through my head right at this very second? Well let’s see, I am hoping what ever is wrong with a co-worker of mine is ok, it hasn’t been the same these past couple of day’s. I hope Dan and Amy made a good decision about moving, why is it that every time I get a blessed e-mail at this place my computer has to beep. See I told you…this is what I have to put up with every stinking day!! Sometime’s my life feels like a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.

On a different note, I have finally become serious about losing my weight. It took a kick to the head for me to realize that I won’t be around long if I continue on this way, So I have decided to lose it, I am going to need so many prayers through this whole thing because this isn’t just a diet it is going to be a lifestyle change. Well that is the crazy that is my life today. In closing I would like to quote my brother in law Rueben. “I'm a paranoid dyslexic who can't get over the strange delusion that I'm following somebody...” That Just about sums me up!
