Good use of the internet

iPhone

 I got an iPhone via my work a few weeks ago.  I like it and now I take a lot of pictures and videos with it, especially when I'm pumping gas wearing one of my favorite t-shirts.

The Baby Train Rolls On!

Guys, we are happy to announce that Kandice is expecting!  She is 13 weeks and due in January.  Eva's pulling for a girl.  I think the boys, out of pity, even want her to have a sister.  We'll see.  "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth."  Praise the Lord!

Foretaste of the next games

OH, what a foretaste, of glory divine! Next years games are on my mind this week, so here is a glimpse. One event, thats all. Shin Kicking. I hope someone has access to bales of hay.

Landon and Justin Were Right

Guys, go get a safety razor.  If you are using anything else, throw it away.  I decided to start shaving everyday again and when I remembered how expensive razor cartridges were, I went ahead and invested in:

• a good safety razor (Merkur 34c HD)
• some blades (Derby Extra)
• a decent brush (Tweezerman badger brush)
• huge bottle of aftershave (Pinaud)
• alum stick (Razorock)
• styptic gel (Proraso)
• shaving cream (Taylor of Old Bond Street - Sandlewood...arrives tomorrow)

Sounds like a lot to deal with, but really it isn't that bad.  It makes shaving something I look forward to every morning.  The reason I never shaved before is because my skin would turn red every time and would feel terrible all day.  Not anymore.  The safety razor simply cuts hair off of my face.  A single  blade, not 1 that cuts and 4 behind it that have nothing better to do than irritate me.

It may cost a little more up front, but I figure it pays for itself after a few months.  Like Landon said, the blades are cheap.  I bought a box of 100 for $8.00.  That will last me a year.  You'd spend at least $100.00 a year shaving everyday with a razor that uses cartridges.  You can even splurge a little and get some awesome shave cream to use with a badger brush.  It takes an almond-size dab of cream from a tub like Landon had to make a huge lathery monster on your face.  The aftershave makes you smell like a man.  Landon, I found the kind you had in a bigger bottle for the same price at Sally Beauty Supply.  Don't go to the one by my house though because there is a tranny working there.

When I am commissioner, there may be points for manliest shave routine.  It won't happen unless something happens to the Triforce though, so don't worry about it too much.

TL;DR version:

Go get a safety razor.

Dad of the Year Candidate?

So I had a student do a piss poor job on a presentation today, so I called him out on it via email and cc'd mom and dad (dick move?). Dad responded to son and cc'd me as well. Can't make this stuff up....

Son,

You will sit down with me and your mother and present this assignment to us.   No excuses , it will be done this Saturday.   There are places to be funny and places not to be so I want to see exactly why it was so important for you to do this.   There is NEVER a place to be disrespectful and I believe an apology is in order to your teacher.   So you want to be lazy and funny is my understanding.  Don’t worry, I’ll still love you.    I however won’t lend you money when you’re working at McDonalds because no one will give you a job.    Maybe you can tell your friends a joke when you serve them their chicken Mcnuggets as they drive off in their Mustangs they earned by applying themselves in school.    I’m tired of punishing you.  I’m just disappointed in all the love and time your mother and I are wasting on your potential.  You’re incredibly smart but also incredibly lazy.  If that’s what you want to be in life, just tell us.  Your mother and I can take all this money we’re wasting on you and take that vacation to Europe we’ve always wanted but can’t since we’re trying to be good parents and prepare you for life.  If your choice of a job is a lazy comedian then eventually it will be your choice.  We can’t make you be a doctor or an engineer.   You will always be smart.  However, it looks like you’re going to be poor also.  Maybe uncle Greg can sell  you a cheap trailer.  I’ll tell him to save you one that only has a few rats.   You think I’m being funny…….I’ll bring you one day and show you what life gives to funny , lazy DISRESPECTFUL people.

May I take your order,


Dad

WOM8: Meal Post, etc...

Dear Men,

Three weeks from this day, the high and holy gathering of men will once again descend upon the Tennessee River. I, for one, am most looking forward to reading Adam's step-grandmother-in-law's letter of rules for this year. Maybe we will be forbidden from using the indoor plumbing. All kidding aside, we need to thank Adam once again for procuring our fine lodging. As I understand it, grandma was close to giving us the axe this year for some unknown offense, but Adam was able to talk some sense into her--Manlympic points will be awarded.

I'll finish this up rapid fire:

1. Bring money for flowers for grandma.

2. Adam and I will be driving down on Thursday night for a pre-WOM warm-up. Last year, Adam, Brandon, and I enjoyed breakfast at Loretta Lynn's Country Kitchen (enjoyed might be too strong a word) on Friday morning, drove around for hours looking for a Wal-Mart, and had a nice relaxing dinner at the the Log Cabin that night. It provided for a nice, relaxing and lubricated entrance to the weekend. Adam and I will be repeating the very same narrative that you just read about again this year and will open up the opportunity to any who might want to experience Loretta Lynn's hot muffins--Hey, now! Who's coming with us?

3. I think the only person I haven't heard from is Ross. I e-mailed him, but have not received a reply. Can you guys follow-up with him? Aaron, you're coming right? I'm going to assume 8 of us, and pray for 9. I looked at last year's meal post and rolled everyone forward a meal, as best I could. Meals will be as follows:
A. Saturday Breakfast--Seth, Brandon and Justin
B. Saturday Dinner--Adam, Andrew, Kevin
C. Sunday Breakfast--Aaron, Ross and Landon

If we have to make adjustments later, we can. In fact, just so we have it on paper--ROLL CALL!

Men, I am updating the blog with my daughter sleeping in my lap. Life doesn't get much better than this. She was born at 10:52 am yesterday, and weighed in at 7 lbs 13 oz.

Big Happy Birthday to Nunez as well! 31 baby!

Happy and I know it!

I had the date wrong!  I'll be there!

I will be missing my first WOM ever this year.  The vips at work have scheduled our yearly, mandatory employee meeting the Friday and Saturday of WOM.  I told Andrew I am planning on just driving straight there after the meeting so I won't miss share time and maybe even eat some dinner scraps.  My heart is heavy.  I will never forget or forgive this great injustice.  Hopefully Justin's baby will come soon and bring a joyful post to the blog to warm my heart.
