the woman quote caused the problem to manifest itself...

apparently, that means that i have a few bugs in my page code.

so if images don't quite look right, that's why.

i'm working on it and hope to have it resolved soon.

i blame y2k and the davinci code.

the complexities of co-ed touch football for the 11-yr-old boy

i went to a friend's house for lunch after the meeting today and all of the kids were out back playing touch football, including a 12-year-old girl who it seems just wanted to run around and be a tomgirl.

the funny thing to watch was the boys who were noticably unsure of which body part was safe to tag her on.

hands would lunge and then just as quickly recoil.

i'm so glad that i've grown up and traded the pre-teen awkwardness for late-20s social retardedness.

rednecks will cheer for anything

so i went to see an awesome band featuring a guitar player from the british blues invasion era, savoy brown.

awesome show at gilly's nightclub. check them out in the iTunes Music Store.

in the middle of the set, he was telling stories to the audience and cracked a joke about being welsh and having a fiery celtic demeanor.

at this, some drunk redneck hollered, "Woo! Celtic!"

?!?!?!?

anyways, enjoy the pics from my camera phone and why does he have a rennaissance-painting-Christ glow?

the simple things...

Is there anything better than a kool-aid mustache?

JC Leyendecker... O.G. Illustrator

i was recently browsing for interesting informational dvds on my blockbuster online account when i came across a documentary on early 20th century advertising illustrator Joseph Christian Leyendecker.

being an illustrator and graphic designer i'm drawn to his work.

i thought this would be a sure bet and i chose to add the movie to my rental queue.

however notice what blockbuster recommended to me, based on my selection.

upon further research i discovered that aside from his fame as an illustrator leyendecker used to hang with E.T. as a kid, got shot in the face 12 times during a drug deal gone wrong, and pioneered the concept of the boy band.

so i guess the recommendations made sense after all.

he was truly a renaissance man.

action figure smackdown

view from my desk at my previous job.

the one in the middle was a "gift" from a boss i hated.

Fact or Crap? Dayton radio sucks

The answer is... FACT!

I called into Z93 to win movie passes this morning.

To win I had to be the first to honk my horn and "ring in" with the correct answer to questions that only someone who regularly watches Access Hollywood and reads OK! magazine would know.

I answered incorrectly when they asked "Fact or Crap? Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora has recently been giving his new girlfried Denise Richards guitar lessons."

I said "Fact" thinking "He's a guitarist, why not."

Their answer was, "Wrong, but he has let her play with his organ"

Oh, Bravo Z93 morning show...

Bravo.

note to self...

if you are single and in the dating game, never mention to a woman that you think their single friend is cute.

there are only two possible outcomes to this scenario.

scenario one: the woman that you mention this to wishes the attention for herself and you get the classic response "what am i? chopped liver?"

jealousy. contention. uncomfortable after effects.

possibly worse is scenario two.

scenario two: the woman that you mention this to begins to imagine fixing you up with her single friend.

the eyes perk up and smiling spasms erupt.

lots of fast talk quickly ensues which sounds something like this "do-you-want-to-meet-her-i-had-lunch-with-her-yesterday-you-would-make-such-a-cute-couple-and-we-could-go-on-double-dates-together-oh-my-god-could-you-imagine-if-you-had-kids-they-would-be-so-cute-can-i-be-in-your-wedding-here-she-comes-do-you-want-me-to-introduce-you-we-could-be-best-couple-friends-wouldn't-that-be-so-much-fun!!!!!!!!!"

what is that?!?!?

what is the thrill of fixing up your friends?

i don't get it.

Bring your daughter to work day

Aint she pretty?

My greatest accomplishment

and my tombstone will read "beloved husband, father, gifted lover, conqueror of lost vikings."

Herbie goes postal?

Behold! The soul-patch!

Just a little side-project i was working on last month.

Jessica Alba Einstein?

Apparently, I am destined to be alone.

As a dear friend recently told me, "I think you're looking for a woman who is extremely attractive and can keep up with you intellectually and you're just not going to find someone who's smart enough for you."

Or as my cousin said yesterday, "It's a lost cause... you're never going to find someone who looks like Jessica Alba with the mind of Albert Einstein."

So it's obvious I am left with only one alternative...

I must build a Jessica Albot.

IT... COULD... WORK!!!! (lightning and sound of crackling thunder)
