I’m not sure why I felt angered, or why I chose to want to defend Tulsa, but since I’ve been here for around half of my life, I guess I can call it home.   I was reading an article on espn that had to do a little with the Raiders, but even more so with random things Gregg wanted to talk about.  He gets to a point where he’s discussing arena football and explains how the Talons completely destroyed the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings.  Now I appreciate that he likes our cheerleaders, seeing as he linked them to his article, but the comment about “they can’t be from Tulsa” irritated me.  I normally care less about people talking trash on Tulsa, but we do have beautiful women here.  I found this comment to be based on our location (they actually have teeth in Oklahoma? WOW!) and his dumb attempt to make a joke.  So if you haven’t been to Tulsa in awhile Gregg, or at all, come by and I’ll take you out to see some beautiful women.

Well I was invited to a BBQ (not actually bbq, but where there’s cooking on a grill, so it’s still a bbq) at my friend Jimmy’s house in Broken Arrow. Now normally this wouldn’t be much to write about, except for the fact that he made his special Caballo burgers. They are awesome. Nothing really else to say about them, except they are delciious. The recipe is 3 parts beef, 1 part spicy sausage, marinate them in Worcestershire sauce and pepper… then put butter and season salt on the while they’re grilling. He just used regular burgers, but it was still good. Anyhow, if anyone tries the recipe, let me know how you like them and I will gladly relay the message. But remember, you’re using Jimmy Hart’s recipe, so give credit where credit is due.

First, let’s discuss Nacho Libre, which Scott and I saw yesterday.  Holy crap it was so stupid yet extremely funny.  The plot wasn’t anything special, but some of the crazy stuff they did in the movie was unexpected.  I laughed so hard, it made my face hurt.  Anyhow, I would recommend anyone wanting to see it to have no doubt that you shall like it.

As for the Bachelorette party, what happened there was Casey and I went to Cowboy Sharkies (we wanted to try a new bar).  Well this chick that was having her party came up with her Mom and her friend (who informed us she was a stripper a few years ago, but she’s smart none the less).  They had some cards in their hand that if they completed they received points for.  Well she had a card that said “Take a tequila shot” and another that said “Take a shot with a guy” that she completed when she took a shot of Cuervo with Casey (I don’t do shots, and if I did, Tequila is not my choice).  So her friend gave me a card that said “Chug a beer with a guy” so I gladly excepted the challenged and SPANKED her.  I know it wasn’t a race, but thank goodness I didn’t get beat because that doesn’t help one’s self-esteem.  Well they left, and we continued to have some drinks and listen to terrible music that a guy with a “Contra” game shirt kept playing on the jukebox.  Well in this bar, there’s a game where you see how hard you can punch a bag and it rates the punch.  Well the screen with the score on it is not facing us, so I wasn’t sure what people we’re getting, but we did see this guy wind-up as if he were throwing a baseball and fall on his arse.  So after laughing and hearing Casey say how he could beat everyone, I decided to challenge him.  The top score on the machine was 904, and I went first out of us two.  My first one I punched an 853, but I wasn’t sure it was going to hold up.  So I gave it a little more “bang for the buck” and came up with an 872.  Well Casey’s first shot was the best with an 861, sanctifying my victory.  We also started keeping track of games of basketball (1 on 1) since we lost track of the ones from our freshman year (which I am sure I was losing by a lot of games).  But as it stands, I am currently winning 7-4 with a 3 game winning streak.  This does not include our game of horse in which I was also victorious.  Anyhow, enough enlightenment on my skills, I am going to go do some laundry and figure out something fun to do.

So Justin has left for Japan, so I am free to run around the house naked.  I’m kind of jealous, the only time I’ve been out of the country was seeing Niagra falls from the Canadian side, which isn’t much of a difference.  I’m sure he’s going to have fun, and hope he gets some nice pictures.  As for me, I am trying to organize the house a bit, work, and hang out.  I now have my computer setup so I should be able to work on things now instead of watch the endless amount of movies that Cox has provided me with.  One thing I must share with everyone is the fonzi technique for fixing computers.  I have never tried it before because, quite frankly, it shouldn’t work.  My boss and I were working late on our Exchange conversion and we had a machine that randomly didn’t want to boot.  I checked the connections in the case, and everything looked fine.  He decides to give it a little hit on the side with his hand (like fonzi used to do for the lockers or jukebox, something like that) and magically it worked.  Now I am not saying that this is the best way to fix a computer, nor would I recommend it.  But having fixed and worked on computers for quite awhile, I must say that is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.  I am done with my random rant.  I will post with something with a little more substance next time.  Have a good weekend.

Just to share a tid bit of information with everyone, I have been monitoring stats with google analytics, which is awesome, but it has informed me that a few people that have wander onto my site have been looking for other things. I’ve had a few people who have searched for “bad boys + bathroom or boys + bathroom” and have somehow ventured onto my site. For those of you that mean to come to my site, thanks for coming. For those that are looking for other things, thanks for the laugh.

The fan in my bedroom was making a strange noise because it was not anchored correctly in the ceiling. Now, while I am able to fix computers with ease, hardware, software, configuration problems, etc., I am dumbfounded when it comes to cars, basic maintenance on house stuff, etc. This doesn’t bother me, but astonishes others who say, “You can build a server, build a computer, fix any problem, etc. but you can’t change you own oil?” Now I may be able to figure out how to change my own oil, but the fact is that I would rather ask someone else to fix the problem so that I do not electrocute myself or just plain cause more problems. But yesterday for some reason, I took it upon myself to fix the fan in my room. I had someone that was going to fix it, but decided that I should just get it done if I could. So I took off the blades, the bulbs and covers, unscrewed some other parts, and put a screw into the top to secure it. After putting it together I was amazed that it actually worked, and it worked quitely, the way it was supposed to be. I felt great pride in my small accomplishment unlike all of the times I’ve fixed someone’s computer or email or anything like that which seems to come naturally to me. It’s funny how something as simple as fixing that can give you a confidence boost. I’m curious, though, does anyone have areas such as home maintenance, etc. that makes them feel better when they complete a small task?

I just recently watched Xmen: The Last Stand, and will hopefully watch it again very soon. I enjoyed every minute of it, and having loved Xmen the cartoons and comics, I feel the movie represented each character’s abilities justly. Besides that, I’ve seen a few movies that I am going to go see when they come out. Here are a few of the ones I saw that look interesting:
