Weekend Wrapup
It's been a little while since I last updated my blog. Sometimes I get a little bored with it, sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with other things, this time I was just a little lazy.
So Rachel's parents have gone on the South Beach diet. So the other day Rachel opens her trunk and there are bags and bags of groceries. So I said to her "oh you went food shopping", and she said no this is all stuff my parents can't eat anymore. Some of it was healthy stuff, like corn nibblets, but it was mostly bags of chips, and a shitload of candy. I have a real sweet tooth, so I have to be careful with that.
Last THursday we had a company bowling tournament. Originally I didn't sign up for it because I haven't bowled in over a year. But they sent out an e-mail last Monday that said there were still spots available. So I signed up. Each team had 5 people on it. My team consisited of 4 people who work in the operations center with me. The tournament was to begin at 1:00. 1:15 turns around and we hadn't started yet, and we were still missing one person on our team. He wasn't due to work that day, and he lives out near where I do about 30 miles from the office. So I sort of figured he was a no show. Well we start and set Paul (missing guy) as our last bowler. He shows up just as his name comes up on the screen to bowl. And damn were we lucky he showed up. Despite me having the best bowling score I've ever had (177 in the 1st game), Paul still beat me with a 184. We were both on fire. I bowled 5 strikes in the 1st game. Overall we did pretty well. We ended up coming in 4th place overall, we missed out on 3rd place by 15 pins. The top 3 teams got trophies, so we just missed out. Since winning a bowling trophie is on my list of things to do before I die list, I would have really liked one. Next year, we are going to recruit a few players and try to finish in one of the top 3 spots.
On Sunday Rachel and I spent a nice lazy day. We woke up around 11:00AM, had some breakfast and began watching some DVD movies. 1st we watched Miracle, the story of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. A very inspiring story, it sort of reminded me of Rocky IV when Rocky fought Ivan Drago. The 2nd movie we watched was Second Hand Lions. Now this was a great movie. It was everything that Big Fish should have been. Big Fish really disapointed me when I saw it. I read Big Fish, and thought it had so much potential, but it just didn't do it for me in movie form. Second Hand Lions had one of my favorite actors, Robert Duval in it. And ol' Bobby didn't disapoint me one bit in this movie. He played a very low key, heroic, spirited older man. I found the movie to be very inspiring. Even though I saw more of myself in the Michael Caine character, I really enjoyed the role Robert Duval played. The movie featured a phrase that I can really relate to. They referred to men who died with their "boots on". I think thats what scares me most about growing old. I realize I'm going to die like everyone else, I just don't want to die of a long, painful, debilitating disease. I want to go out with my "boots on".
Lastly, one of my favorite new TV shows is Rescue Me. I had falled about 3 weeks behind watching it, so I tried to catch up with a few episodes this past weekend. I got around to watching this one episode that just had me rolling. On the show Dennis Miller's character gets a call from his brother saying that their mom called and she doesn't know where their dad is. So Dennis Leary goes out looking for his dad. He shows up at his uncle house and there is all this loud hip hop music playing. It almost sounded like House of Pain. He peaks in the front window and sees his uncle, played by Lenny Clark , dancing around in his boxers. Now if you know who Lenny Clark is, you can just imagine how funny that was. At one point Dennis Leary is pounding on the door yelling to try to get his uncles attention. His uncle pauses for a second like he hears something, so you assume he's going to go answer the door. But no he just starts dancing again.
Finally Dennis Leary makes his way into his uncles house where he finds his dad, along with 2 hookers. He takes his dad into the other room and asks what they hell they are up to. His uncle is totally unphased by this ad keeps asking Dennis Leary if he wants a shooter. He then opens up a mini fridge full of tiny liquor bottles. Then he walks over to a table full of pills and asks Dennis Leary if he wants some Viagra. Or how about this one here, it's the one Mike Ditka uses. When I take it, it makes my cock thicker. I almost fell on the floor when he said that. Between his Boston accent and the line itself, it just killed me!!!
