Random Beaver Tricks

Monday on my way to work, on my bike, I almost got hit. That is actually a weekly experience so no biggee. But in the moment of almost getting hit I squeezed my thighs together, clinching my seat so I could lift the tail of my bike out of the way of asshole driver. On this bike, my feet are not clicked in so the squeezing of thighs is necessary to lift the back end. As I was avoiding the denting of asshole driver’s car, I heard a snap. The poor bolt that clamps the seat to the bike post had decided her life of daily stress was over. Luckily my weight was on my peddles not on my beaver and ass. The most embarrassing thing is, the seat was now stuck between my legs about 6 inches from her resting spot. So, the view to many drivers passing was my bicycle seat sticking out of my ass. I pulled into the park trying to repair her for my final mile to work. There was no repair possible…then I had to pick whom I was going to call. I chose my brother knowing he would laugh at me and tease me as brothers do and it would be over. I had contemplated calling one of my workmates but realizing the whole story of the sheared seat bolt would manifest into something I didn’t feel like dealing with the entire week. Like the time I use to sit on an exercise ball instead of a desk chair. Well after about 9 months of using it, I went to sit down one day and it popped. People still talk about that. It will never die.

The broken hardware.


Bike without a seat. I was thinking this bike is about 15 years old. I use to use it to Mountain Bike but I changed it into my commuter bike. That poor little bolt has been abused for all these years. Yes, I am trying to rationalize why the bolt broke..it couldn't have been my fatass.

Best Nap Ever

I just woke up from a great Sunday nap.  Oh it was so nice.  Now I will probably be wide awake this evening unable to fall asleep and screw up my entire schedule...but it was worth it.

I went and walked in the Susan Komen Breast Cancer walk this morning. There were a ton of people.  I had a great time.  I walked with the University Basketball Team and some friends.  One of the assistant coaches lost her girlfriend 3 years ago to breast cancer so the whole team goes out to support her and all the other people who have survived or lost members of their families.

I wasn't tired from walking though.  I came home went to the gym, did my grocery shopping.  Piddled around the house and decided to watch football.  We have the directv football package, that lets you watch all the games or whatever one you feel is the most exciting.  My brother flips from game to game and I just sort of dozed off.  For  the entire game time.  It was a deep nap, in fact I would probably still be sleeping if my sister hadn't called.  She called to tell me that one of her friends died this week of breast cancer.  Weird that I was just out walking for the cause just a few hours earlier.  

Yellow Dog Granny has always turned me on to great blogs, one being Casa Del Retardo, the other The Gods are Bored and today she turned me on to The Mighty Blog
This guy is everything I love..well I don't love guys but I love a good sarcastic ass.  

Then Father Tony found this blog, Nelly's Garden,
I know I don't need more blogs to read, but this one is good, you have to read the one where she is lying on her back on her father's grave.  She is a great story teller.  She actually won post of the week.  Pretty cool.  So now I have more blogs to read.  I actually love finding new blogs.  I enjoy all the strange and talented people that blogging has brought me.

McCain is Ruining my Debate Party



So McPain is crazy. Even people from his own party are calling him out. Me being the political nerd that I am was planning on a good old fashion let's get together and watch the debate Friday. That meant, liquor, pretty girls, nerds, lovely little snacks they call hors d'oeuvres. Which I call whores devores. Let's not forget my chocolate peanut pie. So now he is playing chicken, wasn't the debate suppose to be about foreign policy? I guess he still hasn't figured out where Spain is. That is understandable. Anyways now my party plans are on hold until Mcblame decides to grow a couple of balls and gets out there and debates Obama.

Random Stuff


Pigeon sporting a Faux Hawk.


Long Beach State's Pyramid...this is their basketball arena. If you fly into Long Beach your airplane will fly directly over the point on approach.



Harley, neighbor's cat.


This is Capone, he is new on the block. He is giving Homer the "I'm a badass motherfucker" look..It worked, Homer backed away. Once he gets to know Homer he will realize there is no reason for the look. He will soon be coming over for a tongue bath from Homer.


This is the cake Homer had delivered this past weekend. I have gained another year in age. After all my activities this weekend, I can barely move so I officially feel old.

Somewhere over the Rainbow



This is my favorite version of this song...it is sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. He died in 1997. The Hawaiʻi State Flag flew at half-staff, the day of Iz's funeral.

IS it friday yet??? This week is so long.

Homer and Tag

The neighbor's cat Tag came to visit the other night..My house is like Noah's Ark...the animals just walk right in and make themselves comfy.








Tag fell asleep on Homer's bed and around 9:30 I had to kick her out. I have pictures of neighbor's cat stealing bacon off my kitchen counter. I can't find them tho. I will put more effort into it. Or I can just cook bacon again and leave my front door open.

Homer and Max


This is Max, he is my next door neighbor and comes over frequently to play with Homer. They are the same mix, but Max is more pitbullish and about 40 pounds heavier. He also barks and gets freaked out at the site of a camera. Sorta funny.


This is the difference it makes when the camera isn't set up correctly. The more natural one, (above) to me isn't as pretty as the one with the bad exposure.

The Love of Women's Basketball

As the WNBA is getting ready for the playoffs, the college teams are starting to practice getting ready for their season.
Wednesday night I went to the CSULB meet and greet with the coaching staff. A bunch of us season ticket holders went to socialize, talk about the upcoming season. I can’t wait for the season to start.

This year I have been fortunate to attend almost all of the Sparks home games. I have friends with season tickets who always seem to have a spare ticket so I am always willing to go. The last three games we have all carpooled up, 4 or 5 of us packed in my gas guzzling SUV for 45 minutes to an hour commute. I LOVE women’s basketball, college more then pro, but I LOVE it. Our conversations in the car for the most part is Basketball. My travel companions are not just lovers of the game they have lived/live the game. It goes beyond me how their brain capacity manages to remember people in the game, their highlights, their weaknesses. I can remember stand-out players 4 years maybe 8 years back, but these women remember everything about the game. They really LOVE it.

One of my passengers has been inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, she also was on the 1984 Gold medal Olympic team, her resume goes on and on, but you get the drift. I am not using names because of the google. When we walk through the Staples Center, (basketball arena) she gets noticed. She is a down to earth local hero. (UCLA) She will stop and talk Basketball with her “fans” which she kindly refers to as friends or acquaintances. She might not know their names, but she has seen the same women for years at the games. I realized while I stuck with her, as our other travel companions ran ahead to get in the beer line that she has a gleam in her eyes when people talk “shop” with her. I know in the past, for me when standing in a room or passing a basketball great, that I have always been to shy to stop and say hi, or tell them, “hey I remember that time you made that basket in the last few seconds of that game against blah blah.” I think hanging out with her at the last few games has given me more confidence to approach these “heroes” of mine. (Watch out Pat Summit!)

As much as I love Basketball, I don’t even compare it to the love of basketball some of these women have. I try to rationalize me talking about Airplanes with a gleam in my eye, or excitement like they have. They work/breathe and live basketball. I work on airplanes during the day and rarely ever talk shop outside of work, and I love my job. I guess it is just a different kind of love.

Shopping with Sage and Spiders

Well I had to go to the regular grocery store this last weekend... I hate going to these places but I love the little marketing things that companies think up and put on their packaging. This first one caught my eye...it is such a pretty color. So they did their job, they got me to stop and look. Now if you look closely this product reveals the 7 signs of beautiful clothes. I had no idea there were 7 signs. I feel so educated when going to the grocery store. I should have gone into marketing. I could have come up with really stupid things like this...In fact what these product owner should do is fire their marketing giants and hire bloggers to come up with a pitch. I know plenty of blogger that would be fantastic at this.



The next one is a product made in Hayward Ca., and they make it all exotic/foreign and on top you will live longer. Yippee I should have bought it.


This is my little spider guy. I hate spiders but this guy has built a nice web and seems to be catching plenty of flies. So I let him be. Tomorrow I get my house painted and he probably wont survive. I have gone out there....and from a distance I have told him his web might get destroyed..he doesn't seem to listen to well.



I have yet to decide on the color...I know the trim will be white...I am leaning towards a dark gray, red door. I don't know...this stuff is too hard. I need someone to make decisions for me so I can complain about it when it doesn't look good.

Fun Stuff




Ok the Sarah Palin Naked headline only got about 23 hits in the first 45 minutes after I posted it. Then no one from the google search hit on it again. I looked on the google and my headline was no longer listed in the top 10 pages. Most of the hits weren't even from the US. Europeans love a good US naked politician. I have noticed when I go traveling, most people know way more about our government then the average person from the US. Now I know why, they look up naked pictures of them on the internets.

Early Sunday I went down to the shore for the Classic car show. I love old cars, but I mostly love the time, love, and money the people who own these things put in to them. The paint jobs are crazy amazing.







This paint job is super crazy fantasicly amazing. I am not in to skulls, but the work to get this look had to take some serious skill.



I also bought a few tin signs. The one on top of this post and the one below are for my future bar that I will eventually put in my backyard. Even though I don't drink too much...a bar would be cool..cuz now I got two cool signs for it. The mermaid is for my bathroom.
I sprayed them all with polyurethane, so they don't rust anymore. I actually hung the bar ones up in the house. Hopefully everytime I see them it will motivate me to work on my backyard.

Have a great weekend!

Sarah Palin Naked

How stupid is Mcpain? This Palin lady has a lot of shit going on in her life.
Key freaky things about Palin:
She claims she is a feminist, however; she voted against equal pay for women, she also thinks abortion should be illegal even if you are raped. She might not even know what the word feminist means. Oh and I love love love that she thinks abstinence only should be taught at school....that worked out well for her daughter. Maybe if she would pull her fake Miss Congeniality out of her ass she would realize kids get horny...they need to be taught about condoms, they need to be taught about safe sex.

How many people will click on my blog because of the title only get pissed to see blurry pictures I took at one of the WNBA games?

I had problems taking pictures, because they don't allow anyone to bring a lens in that is over 3 inches. My lens gets pretty long ...I begged with the guard promising I wouldn't use it. So I was limited to my picture taking. Luckily we sit fairly close. But the exposure is screwed up, however I love the picture of Lisa and all the swirls...it is very artsy, even though it is a mistake. Embiggen for your delight.



This is a quick shot of how high Candace Parker can get. She can actually get higher but this is the best I could get.




The USA water polo team. I saw a ton of Olympic medals this weekend, Thursday night there were 3 sparks and one Monarch, then the water polo team came out. Then Friday night at the CSULB Volleyball, another medalist came out, a CSULB grad. She was so sweet and let all the kids look and touch her medal and take pictures. She was on the USA indoor Volleyball team..then Saturday one of the Softball players came out at halftime at the Sparks game.




Wow this is a really fucking boring Blog..hardly anyone cares about this shit.
