BDub & Bear Rule

Wild On Bogota

 Miller/Williams South American adventures, 36 hours in.

Highlights:

* Miller and I biggest people to pass through Andean region since conquistadores

* In a robbery attempt, several small Incans swarmed Miller and tried to clean out his pockets. One tiny Andean spit on his ear/neck. So, within 24 hours of arrival, a Colombian spit on Miller.

* Went into a bar last night on a whim. Didnt pick up on the "Flower Power" promos outside. Walked in to see three topless men dancing, a DJ just in jean shorts, and about 150 sweating men dancing to techno. We left and asked for a refund of the cover fee, which to our surprise, was granted.

* Colombian women. They dont seem to make sense. Stunning porcelain dolls just casually traipsing through the city streets.

Next up, the Amazon.

Happy birthday Williams

The First Lakehouse

Is the blog dead?

This Bear thing is getting legitimately scary from the news reports. That said, check out this meeting of the minds held last week and the original time stamp of the messages. Foreshadowing or just psychic?

Carnival cruise ship to be towed after fire strands it in Gulf of Mexico

There are few things that would have me trump my own baby. Kevin Dalrymple stranded on a cruise ship is one of them. I have no additional information at this point in time.

Poppy.

Every cliché you hear about having a child is correct.

On day 2, she was already schooling the other babies about the intricacies of indie alt rock.

But, in all seriousness, Poppy is the greatest child of all time. 

BABY ON THE WAY!



Faust will be a Proud Papa before week's end.

Uhh...

I'd forgotten about this. Watched it for first time in years today. Like a fine wine, it's only improved with time.

When is the spelling bee?

This Happened.

The bet

When Brent Lubahn said, "The Texans problem is they have no heart," I had heard enough. I said, "Care to make it interesting? (you'd think I had learned my lesson from the Tebow-Haircut Bet- but no.)" So, we made a bet: Loser has to write a post on a topic of the winners choosing. Any and all ideas are welcome. Go Texans!

Can anyone provide insight as to why my son sometimes looks like fat Adam Williams after finishing the night shift at the tico times?

It's Not The End of the World As We Know It... So Please Shut The Fuck Up

Well 12/21/12 is here, and I am sorry to say to all the "Preppers" out there that their time and money was once again NOT well spent. Over the last several weeks, and especially the last few days, people everywhere have been talking about the world coming to an end because of the expiration of the Mayan calendar. Facebook news feeds have been full of jokes, images, and even serious messages to their beloved friends "just in case" this was the end of the world. There were thousands of "End of the World" parties for all the drunks looking for another excuse to get hammered one final time before Apocalypse only to wake up with another Friday morning headache. And there are even some extremest/nut-heads have been spending thousands of dollars preparing for this moment for years. For instance, you can purchase $72,000 for a sealed bunker tube to comfortably fit their family of six.  Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars!!!  For what reason?!  So you can wake up today surrounded by hell?!!

I have been anxiously waiting for 12/21/12 to arrive not because I was anticipating planet Nibiru to collide with Earth, but because this whole thing is fucking retarded!  Hell, not even the Mayans themselves were believing the world was going to end today so why and the hell did everyone decide to take this date and not shut-up about it?  I thought that when I woke up this morning that it was finally over, that was until I walked into my office only to hear my Secretary singing REM, and now thanks to that little incident the song has been stuck in my head for the last 3 hours.  This incident was followed by an invitation to an End of the World party tonight!...  It is almost as if people WANT the world to end today!

How many fucking Armageddon predictions do we have to go through before people finally appreciate life and decide to make something for themselves?!  What the hell is the point of constantly preparing/worrying about something that we can do nothing about.  If it's the end, then it's the end.  I understand for a lot of the people I know, it was nothing more than just humorous fun.  But it got annoying.  It was like everyone was trying to think of the best way to make the exact same fucking joke.  A few examples from taken from my current Facebook newsfeed (post non-apocalpse) - "When I have kids, Im going to make them watch 2012 and then tell them I survived that shit" - "How disappointing, I guess Im going to have to do Christmas shopping after all" - "Hmmmm, I wish I didnt celebrate the end of the world last night - I probably wouldnt feel so bad today!" And of course, about 5 times someone posted this "It's the End of the World As We Know, And I Feel Fine!"  ---  This is just to quote a few, I have since defriended these people.

Tomorrow the sun will rise on 12/22/12, and thank God, not only for another day for me to kickass but these broken record jokes will finally stop!... At least until 2018.
