Things that have popped into my head and out of my mouth during the day....just to give you an idea of what being around me is all about, lol
On a Nikon commercial (to Matt): btw, I will never buy a Nikon for the sole reason that Ashton is a douche. He is the epitome of adverse advertising.
On CHUCK promos: Damn January is too far away.....NBC why do you tease me so???
On Sunday Night Football commentating, and NFL Commentating in general: damn, who do we talk to to become commentators? Seriously, we grab Matt, Steve, and I for the booth; Selina and Courtney for field reporters, we'd be allllllllll good. Besides, how many times have we called plays and whatnot before it happened, and predicted the game winners?
To a friend on telling people off: You'd be amazed how many people just don't get "Fuck You" as a subtle hint.....
On Dixon's (PIT backup QB) first NFL start: I'm betting they told Dixon he was starting tonight and he went...."Wait...um...Ed Reed, Ray Lewis....Can I be a cheerleader instead??"
On the Local NFL team while out and about (Mind you, I was WEARING my Broncos Jersey...I KNOW, shocker): Naw, the Bucs could lose a fixed game. I mean, hell, they lost their Bye week!
About Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 while talking to one of the cashiers at GameStop: great graphics, so-so storyline, easy peasy if you've ever played GRAW or Rainbow 6.....Should have known anything THAT popular would have to be so-so, what with average IQ and attention spans these days, lol
When asked about my football watching habits for the weekend (DEN played and won already on Thursday): I'm rooting for whomever is farther from DEN in the playoff hunt, lmao
On cooking lunch: Ooops...um...that can't be good. Hey Rocky, hungry?

Bring on 2010......
I say this as a half jest, as, though i know we still have five weeks left of 2009, I'd like to skip them.
As most of you know, I have never been exactly fond of hospitals or doctors, and, luckily, have always been pretty healthy and thereby able to avoid them. However, I also have genetics, and got the blessing of discovering the joys of amelogenesis imperfecta right around my 28th birthday or so. It rapidly accelerated to the point where surgery has become necessary, and, from talking to the doctors I have seen, there was not a thing I could have done either way once it started, since there is no known reversal treatment.
So, now that I'm unemployed, I have the time to get this fixed, and I'm going to. Most of you already know about the condition itself, since you know ME, but instead of sending out a bunch of emails, this is easiest for me.
I went to do my first consultation on the 9th with Dr Stein, who confirmed there was no kind of reversal action that could be taken, and he gave me the information of a good surgeon, Dr. Moffett, to get a consultation and cost estimate done.
So i saw Dr. Moffett this morning, and the consultation, including xrays, took about two hours, or, just enough time for the monsoon to start so that it took 45min to drive the 9 miles home, and of course I had to go through construction to get there, lol.
Dr. Moffett described the procedure to me in entirely too much detail, which I will spare you most of, except to state that, basically, what i am getting done is some surgical removal, an aveoloplasty and frenulectomy, as well as a, if you will, sanding down of bone spars to ease discomfort and allow the prosthetics I will be getting to fit better.
It looks like the operation itself is going to last about three hours, and I'm probably going to draft Dad into driving me, since after the surgery I have been informed I will be hella-loopy for the rest of the day, possibly two. (Yes, Hella-Loopy is the technical term. It means swimming in pain medication).
I'm working on the financing portion now, because my medical insurance went with the job, because the castings are $1600, and the operation including anesthesia around $7100. Anyone know a good bookie? lol. But I figure I will be having the procedure done around the early to middle part of December.
Anyways, I'm sure I'll be dropping updates as I learn them.
For now, I'm off to go kill shit in my bday present from Mouse, the XBox360 Modern Warfare....damn addictive as hell.....
And, once again, thanks for all the birthday wishes and for all of those who have stood by me.
To all the others, well.......

Music for the Moment
Fave song off the new Bon Jovi album, "The Circle". Give it a listen......whole album is only $4 at Amazon.com......
Superman Tonight
There's something about you
I wanna rescue
I don't even know you so what does that mean?
Maybe I'm cynical
Painfully logical
You're tragically beautiful
And that's good enough for me
You're looking for a hero
But it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I'll swear I'll tell my soul
To be a hero for you
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
Who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I....could be your Superman tonight.
If somebody sent you
An Angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away?
That your heart don't break?
That you're lips don't kiss?
That life is just a lie?
That heaven don't exist?
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
Who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I....could be your Superman tonight.
Who's gonna fix you,
Superman Tonight

But it's just my old tattoo

I won't lie, I wish that I....could be your Superman tonight.
Who's gonna fix you,
The next time you break down?
Stranded alone by the side of the road
It's your baggage that's dragging you down.
Don't look back, let it go
Oh, ohohoh...
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
Who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie
I wish that I was that Superman...

Tonight.

Interesting find
Was working on transcribing one of my gazillion (ok maybe a small exaggeration) notebooks into typed text for a couple novels when i came across this little poem/limerick on the margins of one.
I have NO idea whom the original piece was aimed at, since the ink is a different color than that in the rest of that portion of the notebook, which I was writing stories in back in 2006, apparently.
So your guess is as good as mine....but, here it is:
Heartburn
Excuse me miss...Is this seat taken?
Can I buy you a shrink?
Forgive me for wanting to see my friend...How stupid of me to care.
I did something wrong...I know that now.
I thought i could trust...I opened my heart.
Won't do THAT again.
Get out the mellows..watch it burn.
What a beautiful sight.
The smell of broken promises lights up the night.
You tell me you're sorry..Ask me to forgive..
So u can sleep better.
They're empty words..A salve for your mind.
What should you care...the fault is all mine.
The audacity of asking...To spend time with a friend.
What was I thinking...
