One more step towards adulthood
We bought a house. So, I envision this home as the more mature sister to Trail Lake Drive. She's got a lot more class, but can get slutty if she has too many White Russians.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — A man suspected of taking “bath salts” went on a rampage outside a restaurant early Wednesday, pulling 30 feet of guardrail from its moorings, toppling a life size statue of Elvis Presley and telling police he was “God’s chosen one” before fighting them, according to police.
Ryan Michael Shropshire, 20, of Santa Rosa Beach, was not arrested easily on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence. Pepper spray and a stun gun didn’t have any effect on him, and it took six police officers to get in him into handcuffs and leg restraints, according to arrest reports.
Those reports give the following account:
Panama City Beach Police came across Shropshire just before 5 a.m. Wednesday sitting the parking lot of a business near the All American Diner, where a 30-foot section of guardrail had been pulled out of a concrete entrance ramp. Another guardrail was merely bent. The support cable holding a life size statue of the King had been pulled off, and Elvis’ torso had ripped from his legs.
The damage is estimated at more than $1,000.
After getting that out of his system, Shropshire walked to a nearby Purple Haze and sat down in the parking lot. When an officer approached him, he jumped to his feet, began screaming violently about being “God’s chosen one,” and challenging the officer to follow through with a warning to Tase him.
Shropshire, who is 5’10” and weighs 200 pounds, according to the report, would not be restrained despite several ultimately unsuccessful takedown techniques employed by the first responding officer. With the help of five other officers, Shropshire was finally subdued, except for his head, which he continued to bang on the ground.
He was suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance — police believe he was using a synthetic drug commonly referred to as bath salts, said Chief Drew Whitman — so he was taken to the hospital for treatment before he was booked into the Bay County Jail on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence.

The Omen
On my run this morning a crow flew into the back of my head and scared the every living shit out of me. It also kinda hurt. Fuck crows. I'm happy I never saw their movie.
From some internet source:
Every year starting in end of May to the end of June is when the new babies are born and crows will regularly and actively attack anything that gets close to its nesting area.

Bring Your High Tops
Because this shit is going to go down on the morning of June 15th (maybe 16th). Yes, that's right, those are glass backboards and a freshly paved court just 1/4 mile down from the lake house. This could be 4-4 or possibly 5-5, but either way we are playing full court up your butt. San Antonio vs. Dallas maybe???
This is just one of many activities that we will be competing against in the 2012 IC Olympics. Others might include Bocce Ball, Darts, Pinball Wizard, Foosball, Golf (9-hole par 3 coarse - nothing long and crazy), Super Mario Cart, and of course a variety of water sports.
And please go ahead and request off for Friday June 15th. There are people flying in across the country and even Costa Rica for this trip, so please plan accordingly. This is not just a weekend, it's a vacation.

Do the Mavs have a chance?
About 95% of teams up 2-0 go on to win series. Only 14 teams have overcome that deficit.
Can the Mavs?
Maybe. Should have taken 1 game in OKCrappy. Missed a couple of killshots/nail-in-coffin opportunities in final minutes and squandered leads. Kidd missed open 3ptr up 7 with 2mins left in gm1; Dirk missed open 3ptr to go up 4 with 1min left in game 2.
Should the Mavs lose, I don't think OKChitty is a legit contender. Why? OKrap finished last in the league in assists/game. Last. Charlotte had more assists/game and they only scored 31 points all season.
Spurs can beat them. Lakers too. Maybe even Memphis.
West still seems wide open. Will be fun to watch. Spurs look great. Bynum is animalian.
East sucks, and my most wishful thinking Round 2 prediction is that Indiana beats Miami.

World's Worst Airline Award
Told myself I'd never fly Spirit Airlines again, though they had cheap and quick connecting flights from CR to Chicago. Worst airline in world. One flight canceled, no apologies/refunds. Everyone that works there is dumb, rude. Worst business model I've ever seen. I want nothing more than for this airline to bankrupt. Please warn others.
Here are recent ads from Spirit Airlines. First one ran after BP oil spill in Gulf.

102.7 KTFM
I stumbled upon this " Bueat" looking for the Spurs' "Y'all Ready For This!" early 90's KTFM jam that they play at every game. She's a real bueat. Enjoi!

The Post that Never Was
Disembodied when the One Ring was cut from his hand at the Battle of the Last Alliance in the Second Age, the Dark Lord Sauron became a shadowy echo of his former self. Formless and terrifying
I think Mazur will be happy with this selection.
Ancient beyond reckoning, Treebeard is wise and slow to act.
He's a tree. We made Williams a tree.
Gimli is a mighty warrior, quick to draw his broad axes in battle. Not given to subtlety, he wears his passions plainly for all to see. Yet for all his impulsiveness, Gimli is loyal and noble in spirit.
Sounds a little self-centered, right? He's still a fucking dwarf.
.
A Prince of the Elven Kingdom of Mirkwood, Legolas joined the Fellowship of the Ring as a representative of his people. Legolas possesses the keen eyesight and sharp ears characteristic of his race
Chambers does not deserves this cool a character.
A descendant of the lost line of the ancient kings of Men, Aragorn is fated to one day claim the empty throne of Gondor. Aragorn is a mighty warrior, wielding his blade with great adeptnes.
He is a good guy, deal with it Marc
Gandalf is the leader of the Fellowship of the Ring and the army of the West.
He's also crazy tall.
During his centuries under the Ring's influence, Gollum came to love and hate the Ring, just as he loved and hated himself. Throughout the story, Gollum is seen communing with his ego, torn between his lust for the Ring and his desire to be free of it.
Frodo’s uncle, who possesses the ring at the beginning of the trilogy. Bilbo is a playful old hobbit, but he is restless and covetous of his ring. His unsettled feelings suggest how great a burden it is to carry the ring and foreshadow the great travails that await Frodo.
One of the most significant events in Tolkien's stories was the meeting of Bilbo and Gollum.
The heir to the steward of Gondor. More than any other member of the fellowship of the ring, Boromir is the victim of desire for the ring. He attacks Frodo to try to take it from him. Later, Boromir attempts to make up for this slip by fighting the oncoming army of Uruk-hai. He is killed in battle, but his bravery allows the other members of the fellowship to survive.
Frodo’s best friend and constant companion. If Frodo’s burden is to carry the ring, Sam’s is to carry Frodo, which he literally does as the two finally struggle up Mount Doom. Sam is Frodo’s loyal friend, as committed as Frodo is to returning the ring and keeping the Shire safe. Considering his proximity to the ring, Sam is remarkably immune to its call. Sam himself carries the ring for a short time, and, if necessary, could probably have completed the mission on his own. When the four hobbits return to the Shire at the end, Sam emerges from Frodo’s shadow. He approaches the woman he’s been dreaming about, and soon they are married. Within little time he is a father of two, with a nice house and garden.
The ring-bearer and protagonist of the trilogy. A young hobbit, Frodo is chosen by the wizard Gandalf to return the ring to Mordor. The ring offers terrible temptation to anyone who comes near it, and though Frodo on occasion succumbs to its power, he generally shows remarkable strength before its siren call. However, when it comes time to drop the ring into Mount Doom, he is unable to simply let the ring go. In this way, he resembles his uncle Bilbo, a former owner of the ring who is forever restless. The ring has a great effect on Frodo, changing him from an ordinary hobbit of exceptional qualities into someone extraordinary.
Lubahn and I worked on this post years ago. We never finished it b/c Lubahn questioned my photoshop skills/effort and so I quit. This is 1 of the 11 limited editions poster I will be releasing.

i found and lost love and some lessons were learned,
and in losing that love a wretched solace does turn.
i'd known it would happen, that i'd tear it apart,
it was told early on i'd have to break my own heart.
as fate crossed our paths, whirled desires and wrath,
an inevitable math foretold a love would not last.
too many times did i howl and seek drink, scorn weak as a fink.
too many times did i sink, let leak my wretched freak,
to your willing caress, my witless tongue's cursed test,
you gave me your best but still i'd protest.
all that was right mattered not in my eyes as apishly
i trampled your poor heart down to size,
a size small as mine.
try as i might i often lost sight of how lucky i was
to just be by your side.
i'd let minds' disconnection preclude disaffection,
make angry my head, for surely we'd attach, what never was dead.
i wish i'd the intuition to listen and glisten,
instead i was selfish and densely did thicken.
i pushed you away when it'd been better to pray.
i preyed on your purity and left you in disarray.
and so now these limp words, none read nor heard
revealing no lessons learned, just memories and yearns,
are the solace i take, as i reflect on mistakes,
as my soul aches in this way...
im gonna go vomit now. feel free to ban me from posting.

Random thoughts from a recent visit to Mexico
• Mexicans can weave anything into a bracelet in 4 minutes• Who the fuck buys a hammock from a beach vendor…….just what I was looking for…a FUCKING backyard hammock
• You will run into Canadians and they will use the word “ay” at least 9 different ways, pay attention
• Tequila bars are open at most hotels 24 hours/day which led to my immediate thought of Mazur crowning himself king of the tequila stand shouting profanities at every passerbyer
• The drinks are free the entire time at an all-inclusive, they will not run out, slow down or you do black out before supper
• Paloma – A beautifully refreshing tequila drink that is very addictive
• Being at a place where you are in a bathing suit 10 hours/day you realize a few things:1 -Legitimate fat people just don’t give a fuck about being fat
2 -How can old women not feel that breeze between that 3 inch gap in the bottom of there suit
3 -Big boobs are a gift, a well worn thong is magical
• When vacationing taking local transportation is the only way to go
• DO NOT under any circumstances accept free tequila from the old woman under the bridge
• Ray Mysterio masks can be purchased in 13 sizes and 56 different colors
• Silent farts are still stinky even on a beautiful beach
• For an extra $20 you can play with baby tigers……um YES PLEASE
*Just sign on this line, don’t worry about what the 3 previous pages of documentation, in Spanish. I’m sure you are in good hands and that this activity is insured
• Why does this handcrafted wooden bowl that I just demanded you to throw in with my children’s “vacation gift” not have a filter hole….WTF man!

This is my Friday night. After a 60+ hour work week, a Friday night weekend stayover in Springfield, MO, this is what happens. A few Makers Mark on the rocks at the Doubletree lobby Houlihans and some dinner, then I walk out with a bottle of wine, courtesy of my expense account. I now lay in bed drinking wine out of a paper Wolfgang Puck coffee cup. This, my friends, is what I do.
As a side note, there is a teenage girls sports team (I am guessing volleyball?) roaming/running/yelling up and down the halls of the executive level hotel top floor. I do not know why they are allowed up here or who they could be with, but they will soon get a middle aged, shirtless, tiny man yelling at them from a doorway to shut the fuck up.
