home alone

you are guy. your wife is out of town. it's just you, Bowl Games, random sweets in the cabinet, your bike, and the dogs. by any bit of reasoning, this is very dangerous. this is probably just as lethal as putting flame thrower in the hands of a pyro-maniac. so what did i do? well, i flexed my testosterone by eating beef, while lifting weights while watching MAN vs. WILD, with a copy of Men's Health open at my side. Oh yea...and then I got on the couch and attempted to 'stay up late.' that resulted in me falling asleep and out-snoring the pugs while the M vs. W marathon continued. Day #2 - I slept nice and late, woke up to ride my bike but first, i had to do MAN stuff like emptying the dishwasher, and cleaning off the countertops, and washing clothes. That's right...nothing stops a man from just being a man. to top things off, i went ahead and made an omlet with strawberry jam smeared over some smelt bread with soy butter. after 3 hrs of riding on the training(turbo-for my european brothas), minus the 1 hour which i told myself i'd ride later, i settled in for some bowl game watching, and general laziness. oh wait, the dogs!!! WHOOPS!!!! so yeah, i took them out, and fed them...all somewhere mixed in there, but who can really remember...they were asleep most of the time. i think the fact that there were a huge pile of dog toys piled up at the bottom of the couch could mean that i had neglected the kids and they just gave up. i think at one point one of them actually used the toliet because they didn't think i'd actually take them out. they are smarter than you think. oh ya, next time i have to tell ya about my ebay addiction. it happens to me once a year. i try to ebay everything in the house....underware, salt shakers, the crowns off my teeth, 2 nutcrackers, fishsticks...oh yes, i'm also trying to ebay all bikes that have not been ridden within the past year. that's fair i think...but then again, i also think that the dogs can pee in the toliet...

back to bizness

where have all the blogs gone? i dunno. I been spending a lot of time watching cyclocross on the internet (http://www.crosstube.net/). I don't mean that i've been watching it at work, no no. I spend my time at work sitting on conference calls and looking up quotes from, "The Office." why did i ever get hooked on that show? it's xmas time. i've been singing more of those merry holiday songs this year only to realize that i don't really know the words. "There was blitzer and comet and prancer and dixon, cupid, and donnie, and marla and benson..." I sing that song 9 different times, and get 81 different combinations. apparently the reindeer named "marla" is a bit of a sore topic at the north pole. she apparently made the cut back in the 50's, but injuried herself in sled practice and filed a couple of class action law suits against the north pole. i hear the charges ranged from hoof forgery to extortion. what a bad rap for the north pole. anyways, i did find that my new favorite no where town is Lancaster, South Carolina. it is firmly located dead in the center of the "nowhere important at all" region, and has no latitude or longitude measurements (hugh and naw). the most alarming discover so far is that they apparently price their dunkin dognuts coffee around 20 cents apart in price, but the size is oh so different. lesson learned.
