About Timulator

Who’s running this blog? Good question, reminds me of a Bob Schneider lyric:

I know I’ll never know nobody
Better than I know myself
But I cant even figure out
Just what the fuck I’m all about.

My name is Tim, I’m 31 33 and I think i’m having a mild-mid-life crisis… a few years early am doing pretty good these days. This little space on the web is filled with my stories, thoughts, rants, bitches, and random what nots. Some people love me, hate me (not that I know of… though I’m sure there are a few), think i’m great, nice, mean, rude, honest, too honest, silly, stuuuupid, compassionate, crazy, fucked up, serious…  I’ve had a few people tell me I should be famous and then there are the people that just don’t get me at all. It takes all kinds to make this world go round. One of my favorite sayings is “Different strokes for different folks”. I often (but not always) try to please everone and end up not being pleased myself… I’m workin on this. Like they say, you cant please everybody all the time, and I’m sure as hell not going to please some people with some with the content on this blog…

Here’s to being me.

That pretty much sums it up…

Other than that, I’ve listed some insight as to who I am. If you read all the bullet points leave a comment. I want to know who has that much spare time. Welcome to my world, consider yourself fortunate, or not…

If you get easily offended, this site is not for you. Unless of course you’ve come here to be offended, if that’s the case you need to seek professional help.

Let me also say, most of the posts on this blog are the crazier things that have happened to me… I’m not going to blog about sitting on my couch in some blown out tighty whities eating potato chips and crying while watching “Marley and me” or how I worked late last night. I’m just a normal (ok, semi-normal) guy thats had some interesting experiences.

• 5’ 8” but thought I was 5’ 10” for years until I saw the doctor recently… go figure.

• English, Irish, German and Croatian decent

• Supposedly related to Guy Fawkes (explains a lot).

• Pale white boy; I sit at a desk all day working in Advertising/Graphic Design

• Like going out to eat, drink and be merry with friends

• Continually trying to get back in the gym from eating, drinking, and being merry with friends too often

• I have sleep apnea and have to wear one of these. Didnt really work for me, have to try the Tap mouthpiece now… fingers crossed.

• My mom would dress me in overalls that I couldn’t unbuckle as a tot… so I pissed myself a lot.

• I’ve shit in the woods… without toilet paper.

• Jessica Simpsons my Hollywood girlfriend, her personality on the other hand, nothing a ball gag cant solve.

• Never fully shit on myself. I once had a little squirt come out in 5th grade, that’s it, for now. Update! finally did it. Wife and I had friends over for wine and xbox kinect… several hours later everyone was gone, mikey was asleep and I was still playing games. I went to let one slip and totaly wine sharted on myself. I tried to clench close, but I was no match for the warm juicy surprise that was now seeping through my boxers. I got up as if I’d been plugged with a cattle prod and raced to the bathroom to immediately wash myself and rinse my boxers… I guess I can now proudly say I am a man!

• I had my adenoids taken out.

• Graduated 14th in my high school class only because I failed a math class my last semester.

• That math class was the only class I ever failed.

• Don’t often tell people my graduating class was only 78 people – Guess the secret is out.

• Graduated in 1997

• Saw pornography for the first time at 5 – friends fathers playboy magazine

• Saw my first porn movie at 8. The Scene: Champaign poured in vagina, inserted long tube followed by a penis. The man and woman took turns drinking the Champaign out of the womans vagina via the tube while they made sweet love.

• Yes, I’ve not been the same since.

• That porn was also the first time I ever saw a man go down on a woman. I Pondered if I would do that… while riding my bike home that evening. Still pondering.

• No, I’m not serious.

• First time I did that, I didn’t like it. That didn’t last long.

• Had the opportunity to be sexually active in jr. high a few times. I passed on them.

• Lost my virginity at 18, acne and low self esteem are a bitch. Regretted passing on it In jr. high.

• When I did lose my virginity, I remember thinking to myself “Thats it… ok”. I thought my whole world was going to change, that I would have this newfound knowledge. I would somehow be altogether different… nope… but it does get better with experience, I can tell you that.

• I no longer have low self esteem (moderate at times) or acne. But I do get pimples occasionally

• When I did have acne, I got at least 1 pimple everywhere on my body. Yes, EVERYWHERE.

• I have a goatee (actually a beard while I’m writing this) Update! Had the beard 3 years now.

• I’ve had the goatee since I was 18, I’ve only shaved it 3 times since.

• I have a goatee because my jaw line is not well defined. It helps separate my face from my neck

• I like pretty much all music except that r&b where they sound like they are being slaughtered.

• I actually liked that R&B in jr. high.

• I like going to live shows, but rarely do. Need to work on that.

• I have a cat, she is evil. Her name is Cleo,

• She answers to Evil, Jazeera, Snuggles, Snuggle Bear, Bonquisha, Big Girl, and God Damnit.

• She’s a tuxedo cat with green eyes and a belly that almost drags on the ground.

• She bites my girlfriends cats ass. Got infected twice three times, vet bills are a bitch. 500 bucks a pop at least.

• Born in Pittsburgh – Odd I just brought this up… should have been at the top of the list

• I can be serious, but I’m usually just a funny guy (or often referred to as stuuupid).

• I enjoy making people smile and laugh, even if it’s at my own expense

• I’d like to do standup comedy, but have to get over the fear of public speaking

• Took toastmasters, won first place in every speech I gave.

• The more you speak in public the easier it gets. Just like driving a car. (for most people)

• I no longer go to toastmasters, so I don’t get to speak a lot, which means I get really nervous

• Plan on getting back into toastmasters, just like the gym… wish me luck

• I currently have a small gut. I’ll have to remember to update this if I ever get rid of it. Update! Got rid of it for the wedding… but it’s back now. I’ll have to update if I ever get rid of it again. ;)

• The older I get, the more I realize my mortality. Not cool. Update! Still not cool, much more uncool now.

• I’m 31 as of September 2009

• My birthday is September 12th

• September 11, trade towers fell & I came home and found out my live in girlfriend at the time was cheating on me.

• Remember when I said my birthday was? 23 was a bitch of a year. ;)

• Moved to Houston, Texas when I was 3. Been here ever since.

• When I was a kid my mom once yelled at me and called me a son of a bitch. I paused looked at her and very calmly said “Yes, I am.” She was none to please or humored. We both laugh about this now.

• Once had a tick on my underarm that my dad had to burn off. He said “stop whining like a bitch, the flames not even touching you”.

• 21 years later I still have a scar from where the flame “wasn’t touching me” ☺

• Once knew a man named White Foot – He had 3 high school boys living in his house from other countries. Yes, it was creepy. Foreign exchange students… He was an odd character.

• Have a Finish Fuckhead that I call my friend. Miss you Juha, I’ll see you in 2010! – Hopefully Update! Casualty of war… got laid off so new VP could hire his buddy… That trip was a no go.

• I am Jons “#1 friend, above all others”. He taught me the universal handshake.

• If we ever meet, ask me to show you.

• Jon was a homeless hippy on the beach that I partied with, he played the cow bell, seriously.

• In high school, Skateboarding used to be my life. Great times.

• Heard some sick fuck have phone sex on 3 way. Post Link Coming

• Growing up my dad always left the bathroom door open and I’d see him sitting down and pissing. I would make fun of him and tell him men piss standing up, he’d shake his head and say “you’ll understand one day…”. Dad, it took me at least 10-15 years, I finally understand. Now my girlfriend wife makes fun of me.

• On a side note, I once had an apartment bathroom that was so small i could sit on the toilet and rest my head on the sink that was directly in front of the toilet. This came in handy, especially when I was hungover.

• I’m terrified of spiders

• In that same small bathroom, I opened the shower curtain and a spider was swinging on his string making a b-line right for my face. I’ve never screamed so much like a bitch. I swatted and jumped, I ended up wrapped in the shower curtain laying in the tub. :)

• Ok, so I screamed like a bitch one other time. We had a clubhouse called the Happy Place that we partied in in high school. It was an old horse shed… I’ll do a blog post about this later. Anyhow, We would find huge snake skins in there. One day we heard some shit sliding around on the tin of one of the walls. We went in the adjoining room and this 10 foot plus snake was hanging from the rafters and started hissing at us. I screamed bloody murder like a little bitch, high pitch, ear piercing… and got the fuck out of there.

• I’ve never been arrested, amazingly.

• On the other hand I’ve been roughed up by the police on occasion, but I always come out clean

• I once almost got taken to jail, but the cop decided to drive me home instead. Thanks Man!

• When we skated downtown we had a cop informant, he would warn us of other cops coming to bust or harass us. See, they all aren’t assholes. I’ve actually met quite a few that are not.

• I once got slammed on a police car for “throwing a rock at a cop car, while pointing and laughing at him”. It wasn’t me… but he was convinced, talk about being confused. I’ll blog and post a link. Post Link Coming

• I feel like the older I get the more confusing life becomes, isn’t it supposed to be the opposite?

• I’m competitive

• My eyes change color depending on what I wear. Green, Grey, Blue, Hazel

• I wear a 10.5 size shoe

• I had a German Shepherd as a child. Whoever says those dogs are not good for kids is a fucking idiot. That dog never left myside and never let anyone mess with me. She even nursed a cat one time. I do think female dogs make better companions though, they are not as aggressive.

• 98% of my wardrobe is t-shirts, blue jeans and sneakers.

• I have not worn a suite in over 10 years (other than weddings I was in) I don’t plan on wearing one again for at least 10 more. Update! I actually found a really cool suite, I’ll be wearing it this saturday at a wedding.. 11.12.11 – things change…

• Someone once told me, “whats inside doesn’t match whats outside”, referring to me. That was confusing because I don’t even know whats on the inside.

• I can draw pretty well, but have not really drawn anything serious in a while. I miss it.

• I’m left handed

• When Learning how to drive, I could back into a parking spot before I could pull into one straight.

• The only thing I do right handed is cut with scissors, play guitar and use a mouse. Society has yet to produce a decent pair of left handed scissors that do more than bend paper. When I draw on the computer with a mouse, it’s surprisingly close to when I draw with a pencil with my left hand.

• Though I’m left handed, I can do most things comparable with my right hand, I just choose not to.

• I like beer, all kinds. Some of my tops are St. Arnolds Xmass Ale, Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale, Sam Adams Winter Ale, SnakeBites (Guinness and Pear Cider), Sam Adams Oktoberfest, Sierra Nevada, My friend Brent’s home brew is good too.

• I had my first alcoholic beverage… I cant remember.

• The first time I ever got drunk was on the Guadalupe river, I was 14, I think.

• I’ve gotten myself into some wild shit while drinking. I’ll post links here as I blog about them.

• I grew up in the burbs with tons of woods around, spent a lot of time fucking around in the woods

• There was a cow pasture and woods that separated my neighborhood and the next.

• There were plenty of magic mushrooms in this pasture

• The Carpi brothers harvested these shrooms by the hefty bags full. They’d sell shroom tea from their bedroom window, like a drive through service.

• I drank a cup of shroom tea before I ever drank or smoked, I was 13.

• I’m going to Amsterdam and Finland in 2010. Wonder if I’ll run into the Carpi brothers or their services?

• Sometimes Otis Redding keeps me going…

• I cant cry for myself… The tears just don’t seem to come out. But I can cry watching a movie or experiencing someone I care about in pain, sometimes people I don’t even know. I should schedule some time with Dr. Drew ☺

• I have no fucking Idea what I want to do with my life. I’m 31, I’ve accomplished a large majority of the goals I set for myself in my teens and early twenties. Other than being a millionaire and traveling more, I’m still working on those two. Now go click some banners on my homepage and buy stuff. ;) Update! Still not really sure what I want to do but I’m not stressing as much. I’ve got it pretty damn good, trying to stop thinking so much and enjoy what I’ve got.

• I wear glasses, and I’m sick of it.

• The weather directly effects my mood, it’s shitty outside right now ☺

• I like playing disc golf

• My favorite color is blue

• I used to have a sports car, I traded it in for the sedan.

• I just backed my car into a 2ft poll that nobody could possibly see. Awesome!

• I miss my manual, other than that the sedan is the way to go. Big Body.

• I mean to call my grandma all the time, but never seem to get around to it. Something’s holding me back and I’m not sure what. I need to call her soon.

• My dad passed away In 2004, my mom’s still alive and doing well

• I’m an only child. It was cool growing up, but I kind of wish I had a sibling now that I’m older. Maybe not…

• I’ve skydived, it wasn’t as cool as I thought it would be. The first few seconds of freefall were the best. Right before they pull the little stabilizer shoot.

• Asked my tandem instructor if people ever puke while falling. He said “Puke, Piss, Shit, all of the above”.

• I handle most situations under pressure very well, but when given to much time to dwell on something I usually freak myself out.

• I think too much, way too much.

• I can listen to 2 and sometimes 3 conversations around me at one time.

• I had tubes in my ears when was 5

• My favorite cartoons as a child were smurfs, thundercats, he man, gi-joe, and transformers.

• I used to watch Bozo The Clown, remember that shit?

• A-Team and Dukes of Hazard were my favorite. Nightrider was cool too.

• Sweets are my kryptonite.

• I grew up on little Debbie snack cakes and peanut butter sandwiches

• My friend Alan and I used to float dozens of miles down the creek on a cheap ass plastic raft drinking beer.

• Need to hit up the creek again this summer

• I’m drinking a beer right now

• I don’t read fiction

• I’ve only read 3 fiction books. The Outsiders, The Hobbit, and some book about an african american chick on a cotton farm in the early 1900′s.

• I read The Hobbit twice. I didnt get it the first time and figured I missed something since everyone liked it so much. I read it again and realized it wasnt me… that book was fucking boring.

• I read The Outsiders in 7th grade and we had to memorize the poem that Pony Boy tells Ralph Machios character. Yes, I know that was the movie not the book… give me a fucking break. Anyway.. I still remember the poem, why, I’m not quite sure. Natures first green is gold. It’s hardest hugh to hold. It’s early leafs a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, so eden sank to grief, so dawn go down to day, nothing gold can stay. Stay golden Pony Boy. I’m sure i got some of the words off, but hell.. that was like 17 years ago.

• I love reading autobiographies, hearing other peoples stories. Two favorites so far: Anthony Kiedis and Steve Martin, pick them up if you haven’t read them yet.

• I don’t like to be bothered while taking a shit. I have no shame in most anything I do, but that is the one thing that I require to be private. Don’t talk to me, don’t walk in on me, leave me the fuck alone, let me read, shit, and relax. Not in that order I guess, I’d have to read, relax and shit I guess… unless I just really had to go real bad, then I’d probably shit, wipe my ass, relax for round 2 and read.

• I used to hate cats until I got stuck with one… now I love those little bastards.

• I have a friend that plays in a black or is it death, I’m going with black metal band. It’s crazy to see him get all dressed up with spikes, facepant and all that stuff. The music’s not really my thing, but those guys rock the house. He’d probably call me gay for saying “rock the house”. –Confirmed, he said I’m gay for saying that… and he plays in a black and death band.

• I’ve always wanted to: Learn guitar, Spanish, how to swim better.

• I’ve always wanted to drive cross country. Definitely need to travel more

• I don’t want kids

• Baseball used to be my favorite sport… now I don’t really follow any sports. I enjoy watching football and MMA the most.

• I was 4’ 9.5” when I entered high school.

• I grew 7 inches my senior year of high school

• I swung from a rope swing butt ass naked on the Guadalupe River. My swim trunks floated down river, so I had to float naked until I caught up to them (fortunately) about 30 minutes later.

• I was dancing on a table at a fully packed ice house swinging my shirt in the air. Someone pulled my pants down and my underwear went with them. I didn’t even realize for a second that I was butt ass naked thrusting my hips in front of a full bar. No comment, It was cold outside… give me a break.

• I didn’t attend my first funeral until this year (2010) and I attended two of them. My dad was cremated, no service.

• I have no tattoos. I want one, but I’m afraid if I start I wont know when to stop. Update! Not so sure I want one anymore. I could do with or without one.

• I admire people that don’t give up dreams, even if it doesn’t comply with societies idea of how we should go about our lives.

• I’m not religious at all

• I am spiritual though.

• I really like science and psychology

• When I started this list, I didn’t want all the sentences to start with “I” the further I go down the page the more “I’s” I’m seeing.

• Some times I can be a little OCD

• One of my friends told me what ATM stands for. Ass To Mouth. Now every time I hear someone say I need to go to an ATM I smirk. Yes, men never really grow up.

• I have dreams where I have conversations with my dad.

• When I was younger I would have dreams and they would actually come true, no lie. Just simple stuff though, like dreaming of talking to a friend about a particular subject, then him punching his locker. It would happen the next day

• I’ve woken up paralyzed with a bright light outside of my window. I thought it was an alien abduction, but later found out our body sometimes paralyzes itself while we sleep to protect us. We sometimes become conscious while in this state… I still don’t know what the bright light was.

• My most fond memory of my dad was playing baseball in a storm with him and some friends. It started storming and my friends and I started packing up, he asked what the hell we were doing, “lets keep playing”. I had brand new shoes on and he said don’t worry about it. The next hour is something I’ll always look back upon fondly. That and scrubbing my new shoes before my mom got home. ;) That was favorite as a kid. Favorite as an adult was when we went to a bar to play some pool. It was an old timers bar, all older men, roughneck type.. I walk in, in my early 20′s dressed totally different and you could hear the needle scratch. Walked up to the bar and my dad ordered two beers and the woman bartender said “I have to check honey’s ID” my dad looked at me, turned to her and said “honey, he could teach you a thing or two… go ahead son, lick your eyebrows” LOL… bitch still checked my ID.

• My most fond memory of my mom is when I was a kid and we’d go to the mall and play this “game” where she would try to get me to come to her. I’d scream “NO LADY, Wheres my mother!!! MOOOOM”. People would look and she’d skuffle over and grab my arm making me scream even louder, “Let me go lady, I want my mother, MOOOM”. We loved getting a rise out of all those people.

•I think Mexican food is my favorite food next to sweets.

• Margaritas are great

• When I was younger, I always loved to see the sunrise, it meant I had a great night. Now it just means I’m going to be hung-over for 3 days.

• New years in New Orleans has been the best so far. Same for Halloween.

• Been to Jazzfest and Voodoo fest. Liked them equally. Update! Voodoo is better.

• I used to bite my nails and shake my leg. I stopped both many years ago, but have recently picked up the leg twitch again.

• My pager code was 1-900

• I’m a Buc-ee’s fan, big time.

• I’ve had chicken pocks and shingles Update! Eczema too!

• I got an std when I was 19, nothing a shot and some pills couldn’t fix, thank God.

• I used to play World of Warcraft, thinking about playing again. Update! Done with that.

• I’ve not been to the dentist in 7 years, I need to go soon. And thankfully my teeth do not look like Austin Powers teeth. I’m sure they are fucked though. Update! Went to dentist first time in 10 years. One of my wisdom teeth rotted and broke… got a checkup and surprisingly my teeth and gums were fine for the most part. I just got my Wisdom teeth pulled 2 months ago, still missing feeling in my left chin, lip and teeth.. and getting a crown soon. Other than that they said a few fillings at the gum from chipped away enamel cause I grind in my sleep… They asked how long it had been since i got my teeth professionally cleaned, “a year and a half”? They didnt believe me when I said 10 years. They said my gums were in great condition and I was doing good. Genes I guess.

• Last time I went to the dentist my teeth hurt for close to a year. The dentist freaks me out.

• I’ve jogged 5 miles non stop. Notice the past tense, one of my goals for the new year.

• When I started lifting weights for the first time in my adult life (2004), I could only bench press 65 pounds. Lol

• I used the Internet before it was the “internet” DOS shell accounts

• I was a co-sysop on The Limp Nodes BBS.

• I made kick ass ansi graphics, but unfortunately don’t have them anymore. The link just shows what an ansi graphic is.

• My first real skateboard (not veraflex) was a Jeff Phillips BBS mini – The one with the neon city. I got it at Surf Shack when I was 7. One of my friends just bought his son’s first skateboard there. Am I really getting this old?

• Our parents would drop us off at the mall when we were kids. It was our goal to see how many stores we could get kicked out of. It was always fun running form mall security too.

• I still have and use the first TV I ever purchased. People make fun of me, but hey, I’m not replacing that thing until it breaks. Update! I broke down and bought a massive flat screen, man was I missing out before!

• I always thought “November” would be a cool name for a girl, I’ve never met one.

• I used to eat an entire box of mini chocolate donuts and a chocolate milk for breakfast everyday. This was of course before my metabolism changed.

• I have two Vietnamese friends name Bao Huynh. One has a brother in law named Tam and one has a wife named Tam. Tam is both a man and a woman’s name in Vietnamese… if you didn’t figure that out.

• One of the Bao’s goes by the American name Ken. When he came to America (he was 8) he got to pick his name. His favorite street fighter character was… you guessed it, Ken. One of our friends once said “ good thing Mario brothers wasn’t your favorite game, we’d be calling you Luigi”.

• Bao/Ken AKA: Streetfighter cannot pronounce the word Scissors. When he pisses me off, I just ask him to say Scissors… he usually shuts up after that. ;)

• I also have a good friend in India, my brotha from anotha motha. Venki, his real name is like 15 letters long, so we just call him venki. In a lot of ways, he’s the Indian version of me, but he’s a lot nicer. I’ll have to do some blog posts about him. I taught him many great rapper/ghetto phrases. “Peace out Bitches”

• The only thing I really like about winter is coming home to a warm house, and sleeping under a bunch of covers. Bonfires are pretty cool too. We don’t have snow in Texas so that rules out a lot of cool winter activities.

• Edit – We did have snow this year! ’09

• I enjoyed watching Bret Michaels Rock Of Love Tv show. White trash at it’s finest. Good stuff.

• Other shows I enjoy, Dexter, House Hunters, Masterminds, In Treatment, Lost, Eastbound and Down, True Blood, Bored to Death, and most documentary and science/ history type programs.

• I didn’t learn how to swim until I was 8. I still cant swim very well.

• I didn’t learn how to tie my shoes until I was 5. I remember my mom getting pissed because I couldn’t, figure it out. Nobody remembered I’m left handed, and didn’t adjust the teaching to accomidate this.

• I failed my first spelling test in first grade. I may not have been great at spelling, but I was smart enough to take it out of my weekly work folder before my parents reviewed and signed it. Then put it back in before my teacher reviewed my parent’s signature. I actually made it to the spelling bee finals the following year. They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

• I used to love that show “Get A Life” with Chris Elliot. Anyone ever see the one where there town had toxic waste and got special abilities?

• When I was a kid I loved The Jeffersons and M.A.S.H.

• A kid pissed in my face in 1st grade. He was trying to piss across the urinal trough to the sink and I got in the way…

• In high school we would take the styrafoam soup bowls and put them in the toilet. They created the perfect stopper. We’d then flush the toilet several to a dozen times and run. Water would flood all the way down the hall. I cant believe we never got caught. My apologies to the janitors.

• In 7th grade we had 1 month to prepare for a history presentation. I didn’t do a damn thing and still got the highest grade in my class… I’ll post a blog link here.

• Roy gave me the title “timulator” for no apparent reason.

• People from Lake Jackson, Tx are a tight group. After meeting Roy, I’ve then met most of DWB’s from LJ… They run thick as thieves.

• My favorite watering hole was Little Woodrows on West Alabama. They had their lease bought out for 2.5 million and promptly had it torn down. That was two years ago… it’s still an empty slab. This makes me sad.

• If I ever win the lotto (a big lotto), my first plan of action (other than shitting or pissing on myself, and then cleaning it up) will be to rebuild the Little Woods. I had so many great times, met so many great people… and a few assholes too, I ain’t mad at ya.

• I’ve chopped down a tree with a hand axe. Actually a friend and i did over a 3 day period and many blisters. We spotted the tree sticking out of the canopy the most, found it and proceeded to chop. It was well in the woods, but when it fell, it was so tall it actually crushed a persons fence back in the neighborhood. Oops.

• I once climbed a water tower, but could not pull myself over the top. This is when I realized I have a slight fear of heights.

• I’ve done the fire walk, it was lame.

• I cant smile… When I try, my mouth just goes straight across and cheeses.

• I love luby’s macaroni and cheese.

I’m going to continue to update this, indicated by date of updates below.

——- 12.22.09

——- 11.03.11

Been a while eh?

• Got laid off August 31 of 2010.. That was one hell of an experience. Financially I was alright, but dreaming of all the things I would do if I didnt have to sit in an office were all lies. I looked for a job, did some contract, but mostly slept in, stayed up late, played video games, watched tv, went to the pool and worked on my patio garden for 8 solid months. It was nice to have a break though and I hated my last job anyway, so it was really a blessing in disguise and gave me some time to refocus perspective on things. Though it did add some confusion, but I’m working through it.

• Went to the Northern most city in the US, East-port Maine… very small, wooded place with lots of lakes. My friends parents live on an island and you can see canada from their living room. We also went to Canada, getting through the border patrol was a real pain in the ass. They are strict over there.

• I got tan for the first time in about 8+ years while being laid off… Something I actually plan on doing every summer from here on out. Tan suites me way better than sickly white. ;)

• Got a wicked sinus and bronchial infection while I was unemployed with no insurance. I was coughing up blood, bloody nose and eardrum almost ruptured. That was fun.

• Tried to grow my hair and beard  out, lasted about 3 months and I couldnt deal with it anymore, so I shaved my head… once again.

• I need to update my Flickr with photos of all this shit.

• I got the fattest I’ve ever been… when I was 23 I was 135 pounds, which was too small. When I was 27 i was 170, muscle and fit. when I was 32 I was 188, blubber. I’ve managed to drop 20 pounds and toned up a bit… still have a small gut and love handles. I’ll be working on getting rid of that this winter.

• I married my long time girlfriend 10+ years and fiance 6 years (same woman) on October 15th, 2011. Now she can leave me alone. ;) joking… sort of! Love you babe.

• It feels odd wearing a wedding ring.

• Paying the wedding off is going to be a bitch. For the first time in 3+ years I have debt other than a car note.

• Paying off debt ASAP, renting a house in 6 months and saving to buy a place of our own.

• Time to start traveling the world…
