a friend is working on a story about cool cheap places to eat n drink n the summer time- I was wonderin in my friends in lj land might be so kind to help me brainstorm a few ideas. Thanks mucho!

I was awoken t day by a buddy from work calling to let me know that the funny had taken a hit, Mitch Hedberg had died. Man does this suck. I was fortunate to have caught him 3 times and each time he was teh funny for sure. Comedy Central had a nice little history of Mitch, seems he was on the way to the big money day, shame it ended so soon.

I am stealing from a thought from my friend hockeyrules88 who was discussing the disgusting habbit of dipping or using chewing tobacco and that brough back memories of this guy I used to know ( named Sam )

Ok, so this weekend I turned 31, not the most glamorous of birthday years, but still, the first entry into my 30's. Last year, was totally awesome- the bro and I went to New York City with our ladies n had just the birthday to end all birhtdays- highly recommend going to nyc for ya 30th birthday- it rawks the house. Well, on March 18th the tallynomad and I went out for sushi, then went to Jakes Ice Cream in Decatur, where we had gone on our first date....and well I gots down on one knee n asked her ta marry me and she said yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and there was much rejoicing n woot all around...I couldnt be happier n it was the best way to start a birthday weekend ever- now we can go to the home depot n register for power tools- woot

doh- would help if I linked to the right girl- thats what I get for tryin to be a cleaver n such with this live journal stuff

I cant believe that Hunter S. Thompson is gone. I am really shocked and depressed about this. I loved reading his stuff, even his sports column on espn.com...He just seemed to say it well and I loved and agreed with much of what he said. I loved his piece about Nixon in Rolling Stone after Nixon had died. So many people were writing all these glowing things about Nixon, but Hunter pulled no puches on the crook and the shame that was Nixon. I feel much the same way with Reagan's passing- i dont understand all this outpouring of grief for a shitty presidnet who could have beat aids but instead did nothing and now look where we are...but oh well I am going a bit off topic (somewhat fitting) and will close with my favorite passage of his from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

"We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark -- the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

Thank You Dr. Gonzo, you will definently be missed

ESPN did a good job of a sendoff: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/index

round midnight I got a call from my brother at work- He said there was a chemical leak in near our house and that folk were being evacuated but it didnt appear to be near us...thank goodness. I was checkin the web on the issue (http://www.11alive.com) and noticed our street was mentioned- I called home in a bit of a panic to make sure beau and the cat were ok- only to wake him- verified all was okay and went back to workin n surfin...now my bro has called and said the cops just drove by broadcasting that our area needed to evacuate- well now im worried- I dont enjoy being stuck at work worried bout him- granted I couldnt do much their either but I could at least do something rather than sitting here and wait for the cell to ring...


Update, Bro and the cat are at the girlfriends- very very relieved


Now I wonder what kinda chemical they were breathing for the past several hours...hmmmmm

I guess this quiz is telling me to stop drinking beer for when I switch to drinking bourbon I get better results (not that liqmeth is a bad guy, I just dont think of him that way :))

( clicky )

What a great day. Mr bro just found out that he passed both of his phd exams. I am so proud of him. Way to go Beau. We goin to sizzler! We goin to sizzler! Well actually we goin to Fogo de Chao!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray!!!!!!!!!

Go Red SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Cow that is awesome, to beat the curse with a sweep- man that is just awesome!!!!!

Dogwood brewery closes. And to think, this happens just a month or so after we repeal bogus brewing laws. I wonder what they would have made.

Here is the article http://www.ajc.com/news/content/business/0904/10dogwood.html

I had a hankerin for sushi today and left a bit to late to go to decatur to my favorite place- Sushi Avenue, so I stopped by Rusans and well I was just not impressed. So where in Midtown is a good place to get the sushi???

Thanks

Oh man, I watched last nights new Aqua Teen Hunger Force and I have not laughed so hard in so long- that was brilliant...but I think the giant crabs was a bit to much...especially on mother's day. But it was kewlin seein photos of everybody's mom.

I got a job interview tomorrow so I could use all the positive thought and prayers of my friends on the ol live journal. I am super nervous about the interview- gonna be a toughie I know but I am hopin to land the job and get away from ye old elnk....

I got a question- I am going to an birthday party this weekend and I need a costume idea...It needs to be something from the 80's (wonder if I can do the 1880's). I was thinkin perhaps uncle jesy from Dukes of Hazard since I like overalls but not sure..so anybody got any ideas?????

Congratulations! You're Faramir!
