Sorry kids, park closed!

The blog took a temporary hiatus due to the fact that I was on a temporary hiatus from the paycheck palace that I like to call "vacation." Here are highlights of said vacation:

-worked on the deck
-cut the grass
-got to sleep in until 8:30am on most days
-drank more coffee than I would even if I had to come to the paycheck palace
-more deck work (...this time in the rain while at times climbing a large metal ladder)
-celebrated my 3-year wedding anniversary (...three years doesn't require a major diamond purchase right?)
-my son turned 10 months old and went to his first semi-professional baseball game
-finished the flooring to the deck then got inebriated on it while admiring until 2am. (...it's been awhile, but passing out on the couch with clothes on has never felt better)
-cut the grass
-gave myself a haircut
-worked on the deck (...one of these days I'll stop talking about it but not until it's featured in some kind of magazine)

It actually couldn't have been better and it didn't "fly by" like everyone in the world would say about their vacations. We got to see some friends from college and got to hang out with family quite a bit. More importantly, me and the boy had some awesome quality time. He cracks my shit up every single day and he doesn't even know it. Love that little guy.

Since I watched zero television or got on the dubya dubya dots for the most part, I really don't have any idea what's going on in the world as of late. Which is sort of refreshing. I do know that there is still an oil spill in the Gulf. Thanks BP....maybe Salma Hayek can help plug the hole?

"Ahhh shit! Don't tell me that's fucking oil!"

Stay classy Steeler fans.....

Supposedly the Street Fighter II arcade game "Guile's Theme" can go with just about anything. And I agree. Especially when finding out you are NOT THE FATHER!

Sorry, OJ Simpson and Jon Gosselin nabbed the first two spots.

The wife recorded this show for me the other day, Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's in London. She said she wanted me to check out this bass player chick who is like 24 years old and "badass". She also informed me that it has been on our DVR for some time and was going be erased very soon if I didn't watch it. I had no idea! I'm too busy climbing a metal ladder in the rain! To her credit, she was correct on her assessment of the bass player. Jeff Beck is a guitar maniac/legend, and one of my favorite drummers, Vinnie Colaiuta, is probably Jesus' father.

I finally sat down to watch it. Here's a little ditty called Blast From the East. You're welcome.
