First, my boys team that does not often win kicked ass and won a well played game. It got me thinking that maybe this season we can place in the top 3 and win trophies for my boys.
Secondly my girls team played against a team that destroyed us last Tuesday. I have no idea how it happened but the girls had their worst defeat ever in 3 years, a 10-3 defeat. So before our game on Saturday I gave them a blood pumping, get-your-butts-out-there-and-kick-some-ass speech (imagine me as Mel Gibson in Brave heart). And they delivered! It was a total shut-out. I have never seen my girls take a game so seriously and play so hard. We took the other team apart. 8-0 victory. Every single of my girls scored at least a goal to make it even sweeter.
My own amateur team of old farts did NOT suck today. We played in Plano on our own field and fought hard. As in the first game against the same team, I left the field limping after pulling my girly muscle (yeah, I heard it again from my own friends) during the last minutes of the game. We did not lose, or win. It was a 1-1 tie. I am hurting as I type this with 3 Tylenols and 2 beers in my system.
I needed all of that to make me feel a little better after I got an email on Friday evening from our CEO explaining to us how the economy is this and that and why we have to as a company make tough decisions etc etc. A long letter that saved the punch line at the very bottom. Everyone has to take aBOHICAbonus. We are all taking a pay cut for a while.
After a week of old fart jokes at work and listening to my brothers telling me it’s time for my finger exam, we celebrated my big 40 with friends and family.
More friends…
And the girl who put it all together. My much much better 1/2
I had nothing to do with the shirt. The wife made me wear it. My buddy gave me a magazine for Tattoos as a present. Now that I am 40!, I can justify getting one. Coming soon!
The wife took the kids to the zoo during Spring Break (not a good time to go to the zoo, it’s like a zoo in there)
Anyway, after cleaning up the massive projectile vomit in the car (spewed by our little niece after a long car ride), my wife handed the camera to my eldest to keep his mind off of the carnage in the car. (He was in no mood to be at the zoo after riding in the car with eau-de vomit.)
We noticed the picture below in the 180+ pictures he took:
The wife – Son, did you take this picture?
The son – Yes, why? (Two seconds later)… Ooooohh… Teee-heeee!
The wife – Yeah!
The son – They can’t be doing that, cause the bottom turtle is flipped the wrong way!
I guess my bird-and-bees talk was not good enough. I wonder if he thinks all the animals do it missionary style. I was sure I had told him the right way. I feel another “talk” coming soon.
The Happening just did not happen for me.It’s by far the worst movie I watched this year.It had a great potential to be a good movie but so many things ruined it for me, I fully anticipated hating the movie half way through and I knew I’d hate the ending as well.
As much as I believe in green house affects on our environment and as much as I want to live a green life, this movie was too fantastically preposterous.Mark Wahlberg can play a “Shooter” role somewhat OK (since he does not have to open his mouth) but in this movie his dialogs are so stupid that I kept looking at my wife and repeating “this is horrible acting”.Wahlberg’s facial contortions in this movie scared me more than the eerie old psycho woman.The camera zooms in on his face to show the intensity of his seriousness often but what made me laugh during these intense moments are his facial scowls with his dumb dialogs.It was like watching a skid on Saturday Night Live.
Let’s just take a leap of faith and say that the plants did what they did (think twilight zone), how the hell did the wind synch up with all of the events on cue? Someone please tell me how that happened, ’cause I missed that.
Often we walk to a restaurant across the street from our office to eat some Thai food.
On a nice sunny day we decided to go green and took a walk again. While walking and talking about all the nerdy computer jargon, we noticed a huge snake on the sidewalk.
I immediately got out my cell phone to take a picture. I realized that we needed a point of reference to show the CSI people what a monster this thing was before we killed it with our bare hands so I volunteered my buddy Shaw to put his foot next to it. (I was not getting anywhere near it)
We decided that it’s a bull snake common in our area.
I hope that my kids don’t see this video.Breakfast is always a battle in our house.My eldest never knows what he wants to eat.I make scrambled eggs, he wants PB&J.I make PB&J, he wants cereal.My youngest is another story… She is a mad crazy witch who looks like she is having a 7 year old PMS morning.This happens between the time she rolls out of bed and puts the first bite in her mouth.
We have to force both of them to eat a healthy breakfast. You know, it’s the most important meal of the day.
Not so, says this fine gentleman!
I love this video!It’s stuck in my head and I can’t stop singing the damn thing.If 50-Cents were to sing this song, it would be a huge hit.Throw in Beyoncee next to the pre-historic looking dude and you have a sure hit.
I can’t believe god would dis-approve Cap’n Crunch though.That’s just sacrilege.
The wife and I were at Sam’s the other day doing our mass consumer shopping.As we were leaving the store, we were stuck behind a family of 10 people with a gene pool that proved that not only did the apple not fall far from the tree; it’s actually still stuck on it.
We followed them to the parking lot still trapped behind them.
The wife – I wonder where their cars are?
Me – Cars?
The wife – There are 10 of them
Me – I bet you $10 they are all in one car
The wife – There is no way, look at the cart. That’s enough to fill a car.
Me – Wanna bet?
The wife – You are on.
So we sat in our car to figure out who won the $10.We watched them ALL get into the same vehicle.
Granted it was not a car, all 10 of them fit inside a large F.U.V
My girls team kicked butt again in 38 degree weather with tornado like winds. It was by far the coldest game I’ve ever been to, and I’ve played in snow and ice before.
