The Haunt
Last night I had the chance to check out one of Grand Rapids fall attractions, The Haunt, with friends DJ, Bethany and Joel. Its basically a haunted house, and I gotta give the people credit for doing an amazing job with decorations and costumes. However, I can't say that I found it scary, so I was a bit disapointed by that. The highlight of the night was that I knew one of the guys that worked there, and he either already knew who Bethany was, or I had mentioned her when he asked if I was planning on going to the Haunt (he got me VIP tickets for $10 instead of $20.) So I think Bethany got pretty weirded out by that. DJ didn't catch on to it until the guy mentioned his name as well, or atleast he didn't seem to. Another good part was where they had a platform that you had to walk over to get through a revolving tunnel, which completely messes with your sense of balance. It was a funy experience, but I was really hoping to get scared. I guess part of the fun is taken out of it if you know that you won't come to any harm. Maybe they could change that in the future . . .

Swing Dancing and Work
So my job with 7up is very physically demanding, as is swing dancing. On days where I don't have both, I can easily handle one or the other. Today my body is very sore and fatigued, and I'm going to be attempting work and swing for the next couple of days, so by Friday, I likely won't be able to move from my bed. I owe myself atleast 48 hours of make-up sleep, but we'll see if I manage to pull that off . . .

I'm Sorry! Really I am!
Its been a two month unnofficial hiatus. I really did mean to post sooner than this, but I kept putting it off. I'm going to have to start writing stuff at home, burn it to CD, then bring it to the library I guess. I'm going to try and make up for it now by sharing an addictive game with you:
the game is called line rider, and the concept is simple: draw at a downward angle, and then press play to watch someone ride the line. Then add jumps, try for backflips and front flips, try a loop de loop (harder than it sounds) then show it off to a friend.

Swing dancing has been going great, and I've begun teaching novices the basic steps, and the flips and airials that I know really well. If you're ever in Grand Rapids, come downtown and check out the swing club at 800 Monroe.

7-up
As you know from a previous post, I got a job recently working for 7-up as a merchandiser (read: glorified stock guy). Now that I've been there a few weeks, I've got a good idea of how the job works (okay so it isn't rocket science). However, the main thing is that I actually like my job. Yeah, there is some hard work involved with it, mostly heavy lifting, and counting (okay, that part isn't hard) but its actually enjoyable, and when I get done with work, I feel like I've actually done something productive, which is a feeling I never got when working for Meijer (read: Hell on earth) In some ways it's like I'm getting paid to be a member of a gym, and between that and swing dancing, I'm getting into shape again pretty fast.

Leaving hell, hoping never to return
So finally, after three years at a job that I despise, I've managed to find a new job, and will finally be leaving Meijer, never to return. I will now be working for 7-up/American bottling group, stocking the shelves and coolers at stores. Pay is a lot nicer, and I also get paid compensation for gas milage. I'll still be working at Meijer, as well as a few other stores, but I'll no longer have to answer to management or customers there.

Union Steward
Well, I've done something completely unnexpected, I've become a Union Steward. This is unexpected strictly because I hate unions. I think that in the past there was a place for them, but now that we have laws protecting workers, they ultimately serve no purpose. So why become a steward? for the power. In certain situations, I have as much authority as management. Also a perk is that every christmas I get my union dues back. So that's about the only perk I have at work anymore, other than finally getting vacation time after 3 years. I'm still paid less than 7 an hour, and I need more than that to survive.

Swing Dancing and Renaissance Festivals
Recently in my post-loss of internet life (how I miss easily accessing it anytime I want) I have taken up swing dancing. While I am still in the process of learning, it has been the most fun that I've had in quite some time.
This past Saturday, I had the chance to go to a Renaissance Festival. Unfortunately, I had to work. So I went to the Ren-fair, and when I got there, I called into work to inform them that my truck couldn't get me in to work today. This was a true enough statement, as my truck was at the time 2 hours away from me. That settled, I set about enjoying the fair. The first thing I did other than checking out the various swords and armor was to have my friend DJ arrested for sullying the name of a woman. He in turn had me and a friend arrested in his stead. And she and I had to dance and sing our way out of prison, after which I had DJ arrested again, and paid a small bonus so that he was forced to sing and dance to get out. However, he decided that this time he should run for it, and did so, finally getting caught because he ran down a dead end path. Next we went and checked out the various birds of prey (unfortunately we never got around to seeing a demonstration) and then proceded to the Ric Rac Dumb Show, essentially a guy making a complete fool of himself. Almost everything at a Ren-Fair is interactive, and I was called upon in the audience to help him get a ball out of his mouth that he was "stuck" there. I misunderstood what he meant by his hand gestures, and asked if he wanted me to punch him in the stomach-- to which he informed me by his behavior was not the case-- he wanted me to do the heimlich maneuver. The show was quite fun. The next event we went to was the Pirate Shanty and The Bonnie Lass, which I ended up going to a total of three times, as I enjoyed it quite a bit. However the best event was the Drench a Wench/Soke a Bloak. Those who dressed up for the fair were allowed to participate in getting soked, which DJ and I did, as it does get quite hot wearing period clothing. In this event, you are given three sponges to throw at the opposite sex. In thanks of getting soked, the guys hug the girls that soked them, and the girls kiss the guys on the cheek. The festival was great, and I'm looking forward to going to the Holly Renaissance Festival on September 2nd. Actually, I wouldn't mind being a participant in them and performing, and doing that for a living.

Time Loops (History Repeating)
Its odd, but the girl that I found myself attracted to most recently is becoming very similar to a girl that I was interested in in the past. Last time it ended badly, and I really don't want that to happen this time, but it's as if I'm walking a pre-established path. The path is headed straight for the executioner's block. I struggle against my bonds but I am unable to break loose of them. As I near the platform, I struggle harder still, and finally the executioner comes into view, his face covered by a hooded cloak. When I reach the platform, I stumble and fall. Hands pick me back up, but they are not comforting hands, but the hands of one that doesn't care. A hood is placed over my head and I can no longer see. Despite this, I can hear soft twang of the axe being freed from the executioner's block. I'm forced to kneel, with my head on the block, and I feel the axe briefly touch my neck as the executioner lines up. I hear a grunt as he raises the heavy axe. All the while I struggle to break free of my bonds. I hear the whistle of the axe as it falls, craving my blood. I find myself in the third person, watching my head fall onto the platform, the executioner's hood is thrown back, and the face I see is my own. I don't know how to break free of this path before its too late.

This seems expensive for something that is basically a bunch of leftover wire.
and a whole load of technology here is waiting for your to view.
just to touch on a few of the items:
In Japan, they've released a credit card sized phone. I don't know why people keep wanting cell phones that are smaller. A smaller phone is easer to lose. Personally, I'm happy with my razr. I thought about getting the slivr, but I prefer flip phones, as I've seen people call numbers by accident too many times, only to hear a faint disembodied voice coming from their crotch region.
Available at Amazon is an ice cream maker ball. This seems interesting, and if I liked ice cream enough, I would probably get it. You place the ingredients inside the ball, and then bounce it around for twenty minutes, when your done, you have ice cream. Before your done, you have a 7lb ball of death that I'm sure you can find creative things to bounce it off of to get that "special" flavor of ice cream . . .
here's also a remote control golf ball, which I'm sure you can imagine the uses for right away (just don't let someone tee off on a par 3 . . .) how many points do you knock off for a hole in none?
For those of you who just can't figure out what your dog wants or how their feeling, go buy a different pet! Or you can buy a doggie translation device, which tells you just that. Frankly, I find it a waste of money, as dogs, being dumber than man are quite easy for anyone to understand.
Mr. T and Burt Renolds have lent their voice to TomTom's navigation company. "I pity the fool who can't find his way without asking directions!"
Finally, there's a model tornado available for purchase. For only $204.00 you can have your very own tornado sitting right on your desk. No word as to the liability if there should be a sudden power surge, quickly creating a class 5 tornado in your office building, ripping your latest project to shreds moments before the deadline and at the same time killing off your secretary . . . but it looks nifty!
There are many more gadgets for your viewing pleasure at that site, so go check it out.

Parakeet Issues
Well, for a while now, I've owned a parakeet. It used to be two, but one died, and so for a month or two it was just the one. Well, recently I noticed that the one parakeet has started shedding more than she should, including some blood feathers. I'm hoping its merely depression, as I've bought a new parakeet to be her companion.
The newest edition seems more content to either fly around the room or perch on me, where as the other two prefered the cage. I've decided to let my parakeets keep their wings, as its more fun watching them fly around the room, and easier to train them to do arial acrobatics if they can fly.
Today, I came across a rather funny comic, which you can view here.

If Star Wars was a Porno . . .
I'm pretty sure it'd look something like this.
Personally, I think there's something wrong with a guy who needs to use a dildo for any reason. Now if it was one of these, I could understand, provided it was for use with a female in conjunction with a ball gag and a leash.
Let me further state that I'm glad I no longer attend Cornerstone University, as I would have a hard time explaining any of this to the IS department when they recieve the flags for everything I was looking up in order to do this post.

Random Sappyness
Speak Softly Love by Andy Williams
"Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever know
*Wine coloured days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live unitil we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love, so softly love"

Embeding flash
okay, I've figured out how to embed flash files in my posts-- does anyone know how to keep them from starting/repeating on their own? I have no trouble on flashes that come with the appropriate code, but what do i do with the ones that don't?

"50 things about guys" with comments by: The Reverend Andrew
1. Guys hate "sluts."
Well, hates kind of a strong word, but I definately wouldn't seriously date one.
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
I've never used either of those lines on the phone
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
The most important things are the things we think about just before we go to sleep, depending on how many there are, we may not sleep that night. (pretty sure this is why I don't sleep much)
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
I don't plan it out, I prefer to make it up as I go, yeah there will be pauses, but so what?
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
If he cares about the girl, he could be having the worst day ever, and her smile will make whatever bad stuff happened fade to nothing.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
eh, I do stuff just to do stuff.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
Actually, I don't mind hearing about it, but its not something I want to talk about constantly. I'd like to know you have more of a life than who you're dating or who you dated.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
I just want her to feel that she can come to me about anything.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
guys aren't as secure as you think we are.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
I don't mind actually, unless its a guy I don't trust. Hang out with whomever you wish, but if I don't trust them I don't really want to hear about it.
11. Guys get jealous easily.
It depends on the situation, and how serious the relationship is.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
I definately have a pretty good poker face when I try.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
depends on how she says it.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
not always the case
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
I've never asked my parents for money so I could get a girl something. I had this lovely thing called a job
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves.
depends on who I'm around. If I'm around the right person, I'll volunteer the information. Otherwise they have to ask, and then I'll only give the most basic information.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
This is true about anyone
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
This doesn't mean we like you any less.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
not always the case. But if we want your advice, then we trust you a lot.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
I'm just a tease, doesn't mean I like the person beyond friendship.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything.
If you've done it and there's a witness, it ain't bragging.
24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you.
I've only used the word hot to describe a girl that is temperature hot. I use words like attractive or pretty.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
Where as girls seem able to do more than one thing at once, guys seem to be able to think about more than one thing at once. When a girl does one small thing, a guys entire mental energy will go into trying to figure it out-- which usually leads to burn out
26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
not always the case
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
I know several who cant do either, or can do both.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. I didn't like this one, so i took it out. Though true it was. **Nomi's note: Just a typical guy thing, taking out the bits they don't like. Haha.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
I've learned from both, I know some who don't learn from either.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and other things. (being a wuss)
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
sometimes true, not usually the case for me.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
again, depends on the person and the circumstance
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
its more that we're flexible enough to allow some wiggle room.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
or you and your boyfriend need to watch the pda. . .
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
Very much true
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
actually, I like a good challenge
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
not so much with the intimidation, I just don't like snobs.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, BUT THEY HATE BEING LED ON EVEN MORE.
Very very true. I hate being led on. Rejection really doesn't bother me.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his right arm to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
It'd have to be atleast for a month or two
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
Well, hates kind of a strong word, but I definately wouldn't seriously date one.
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
I've never used either of those lines on the phone
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
If he cares about the girl, he could be having the worst day ever, and her smile will make whatever bad stuff happened fade to nothing.

23. Guys will brag about anything.
If you've done it and there's a witness, it ain't bragging.
24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you.
I've only used the word hot to describe a girl that is temperature hot. I use words like attractive or pretty.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
Where as girls seem able to do more than one thing at once, guys seem to be able to think about more than one thing at once. When a girl does one small thing, a guys entire mental energy will go into trying to figure it out-- which usually leads to burn out
26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
not always the case
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
I know several who cant do either, or can do both.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. I didn't like this one, so i took it out. Though true it was. **Nomi's note: Just a typical guy thing, taking out the bits they don't like. Haha.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
I've learned from both, I know some who don't learn from either.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and other things. (being a wuss)
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
sometimes true, not usually the case for me.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
again, depends on the person and the circumstance
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
its more that we're flexible enough to allow some wiggle room.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
or you and your boyfriend need to watch the pda. . .
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
Very much true
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
actually, I like a good challenge
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
not so much with the intimidation, I just don't like snobs.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, BUT THEY HATE BEING LED ON EVEN MORE.
Very very true. I hate being led on. Rejection really doesn't bother me.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his right arm to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
It'd have to be atleast for a month or two
50. No guy can handle all his problems by his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

I Have Good News . . .
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Well, not really, but I am now a state certified bartender. And I only had to take the test four times . . .
The class was a lot of fun, as were the teachers. Now I just need to find a job . . .

Man Laws
Miller Lite has changed its ads to comercials about Man Laws, they have a website for it, and you can find it here. On the site they have the manlawpedia, with over 1,000 man laws written in it that were previously unwritten. Also in the manlawpedia, there is the option to edit the manlaws, as well as comment on them, and make exceptions to said man law. It's a granted that persuit of a woman is usually a justifiable reason for breaking just about any of the man laws.
I have added my own man law: All men must see the Godfather Trilogy atleast once in their lifetime.
I personally hold that no woman should be a valid excuse for breaking this man law.
