Shoot If I Must....

Well, tomorrow is the day I have to go back into the workforce, drat. As you have figured out I didn't win the damn lottery, somebody did but it wasn't me. Marsh appears to be a good place to work and am looking forward to starting a new career. We shall see what we shall see.

Mookie, Mookie did you really think you would be sticking around after going through Yau-Man's things? So sad too bad, now if they will just get rid of Dreamz. How can they be so blind to this guy? I believe Alex is next but they better get Dreamz before he backstabs everyone and wins the damn thing. Please don't let that happen. Go Stacey and Boo.........

Urban Dare Part 2

Well, even tho it was fun helping Mark and Ed out with several clues, the boys didn't fare to well in the Urban Dare this past weekend. This is the second time I have helped them and this time I felt more at ease navigating the internet. Although the clues were tricky it seemed they figured them out in a more timely fashion. Their downfall was not reading one of the dares correctly and probably would have been penalized for it. They might do it again in September and with all the experience of the past two I have every confident that they will win. Even if you didn't win, kudos to you!!!!

Another one bites the dust that wasn't suppose to. Dreamz (the double agent) did it again by duping the "four horsemen". He managed to get rid of Edgardo by convincing them to play Mookie's hidden Immunity Idol. With everybody thinking Alex would be voted out Edgardo was blind-sided for sure. Someone take Dreamz out please!

Urban Dare

OK, here you go....these two guys my bro Mark (on the right) and his partner Ed should have been chosen for the "Amazing Race" but since they weren't how about the "Urban Dare" in the D.C. area? Here you have two intellectual guys, one that is a stickler about geographical things and the particulars and one that loves the physical things and the particulars. I am not so sure about the reading of maps is a strong point of either while the other is driving....(oh my gosh no way).................Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Virginia Tech Tragedy

Now that we know who was responsible for this horrible loss of life why is the media giving him center stage? I don't want to know about him much less see his picture plastered all over the news. This is what this guy and people like him want. Granted this was a sick individual but the more I hear about him and his road to this atrocity the more I think he had ample opportunity to right his ship. Instead of giving this guy all the attention the media should be focusing on what was lost. Let the friends and families get through the grieving process without this freaks picture in all the papers and on every TV channel.

Back In The Workforce

Well, I have been of the unemployed since October of last year and I am happy to say I have found a job with Marsh a leading risk and insurances firm. Happy because I will finally have a steady income and health insurance. Sad because I really could do this not working thing and also because I am going back to work just when summer is on the horizon. So, I continue to buy lottery tickets and cross my fingers every time there is a drawing hoping to become one of the rich and famous. My first day is May 1st and will have 6 weeks of training. We will see how it goes..

Concert Weekend

This past weekend was a pretty busy one. Friday night I went and saw Kenny Chesney and Saturday night Val and I saw Rod Stewart. Both these guys rocked the house. For 60 Rod hasn't skipped a beat. Did I mention we were randomly picked and got our seats upgraded to the $126 tickets about 6 rows from the stage? We also were sitting next to his wife. She is a cutie and could pass for his grandaughter. Oh well, "whatever trips your trigger". Two great concerts and lots of adult beverages, life is good!

So long Michelle. What the hell was Dreamz thinking voting for her? Please tell me he is not that stupid, what happened to Stacey the person he wanted to be voted off so bad? Next week should be pretty interesting with Mookie getting in Dreamz' face and Dreamz telling Cassandra & Earl about Mookie having the idol. I have a feeling some shit might hit the fan or how about some sand pounded up someone's ass. I have but one dream..get Dreamz out of there!

Like A River...

Well, we went to the game on the 7th and the Cubs beat the Brewers 6-3. For once Ben Sheets had an off day. So, Val and I are sitting in the car enjoying a brewskie before the game and this guy gets out of the truck in front of us and decides to take a whiz, thank God his back was to us. Now this guy must of had to really go because it was like a river. I mean to tell you it went the length of 4 cars. I honked at him and was hoping he would turn around but he didn't, I was going to wave and then ask him if he felt better. I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Ramada Workout Room

Okay, so Val & I are in Milwaukee for the Cubs game tomorrow and we are staying at the Ramada downtown, now don't get me wrong, the rooms are four times the size of our stateroom we had on the cruise but their workout room is smaller. I am not so sure I would advertise that they had one. I think I would just let the patrons that had too many adult libations stumble upon it. Your thoughts?? I for one love to workout but cherish the times I can't due to no fault of my own. All in all, the bar, restaurant, rooms and most of all the service was a-ok. Did I mention how f-----windy it is here? Damn, Mary Poppins wouldn't have a chance..

I want to go home, I want to stay, I want to go home , give me a chance..hello, your wish was their command. I think you dug your own grave missy. Other than the fact that Dreamz disliked you so much, I think if you would have kept your mouth shut and hadn't whined so much (there's no crying) you might still be there. I was hoping Dreamz would be gone, maybe next week. Kudos to Yau-Man for doing so well in the immunity challenge.

"Take Me Out To The Ballgame"

Val and I leave Friday for Milwaukee to catch a Cubs Brewer game. Here I thought it would be a nice spring weekend with the temperatures in the 70's, whatever!! The high is only going to be in the 30's so I guess there's no need to pack shorts. Thank God Miller Park has a retractable roof, if it didn't I don't believe we would be making the trip. "Go Cubbies"

To think just a few weeks ago we were cruisen. Damn..... Speaking of cruisen we received pictures from Karin and Rich & Paul of the cruise and I must say we are all good photographers. Check out this sight and see the pics Val & I and Karin took. http://milleniumcruisers.snapfish.com/snapfish Keep checking back I am sure more will be added.
