2. Riding my bike at night I like to look at people's garages. Not to see what they have, but to see how they have it organized. I need help. Although there are some pretty decked out garages where people have couches, big screen tvs, bars, carpeting, heated units. Very nice! Naturally I am getting ideas for my own Man Cave as well.
4. So the evil giant Comcast has come out with a message to limit Internet usage for their customers starting October 1. They said it's in a bid to ensure the best service for the vast majority of its subscribers. Yeah right. All this is, is a way to make you pay for their service. I've always hated Comcast. While they have a right to do what they want, their customer service is still probably the worst in the industry and I'll boycott them. Make the Internet free!
3. So McCain chooses Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. She's virtually a no-one on the national radar map. For weeks now we hear how Obama has no experience, yet the "Maverick" McCain chooses someone with the same inexperience. Interesting!? I've heard how this is a strategic masterpiece by McCain. I guess picking an attractive woman (it's the glasses), who shoots a gun, and gives her son a middle name Van Halen is something we should all be excited about. Kudos to her stance on the environment issues, but how does she stand on defending the Constitution, something McCain doesn't care about? Does anyone care anymore?
5. I like ice cream, but it doesn't like me. (Wait...Ice Cream is female???..). So once in a while I'll take the plunge and stop at the Dairy Queen and get myself a Peanut Butter Buster Parfait. I'll do this on my way back from Up North, and treat myself for being so brilliant, handsome, and cool. Then a few hours later, I'm regretting it coz I look and feel horrible, and beat myself up for being stupid. Totally not cool.

6. Does anyone even use Internet Explorer anymore? Firefox is so incredibly better to view blogs, and java induced sites or applications. I haven't used IE in over a year and I do not miss it. In a small way, I'm sticking it to Microsoft at least in my mind.
7. I coach and manage sports teams - recreation and weekend warrior stuff. The pitfall of doing so, is the constant babysitting of grown men for them to show up on time. For them to call me when they won't make the games. For them to pay their dues. To basically babysit grown men - via phone, email, and paper copies. It just never ends. I am tired of it, yet I know when I don't do it...no one does. So I should just suck it in and shut up probably.
8. At the request of many of my online friends, I've been using Facebook much more than Myspace. It's light years ahead of myspace in just about every aspect. The only advantage myspace has is probably the music, blog, and video sections. Other than that, what an aesthetic nightmare. The constant barage of phishing scams, porn profiles, and annoying applications really has me fed up with it. If you are on Facebook, hook me up because my myspace days are dwindling I think unless proven otherwise.
9. I've mentioned several times my opinions on tattoos, so I'm not going to go into it again. But the other day I saw the "best" tattoo ever. It was a father carrying his young daughter across the beach. On his shoulder blade was the Anheuser-Busch logo. Are you freaking kidding me? Aside from the fact any of their beer is horrible, why would you do this? Those poor kids was all I could say. When you say Budweiser, you've said it all.
10. Interesting fact. Today the state of Michigan has more state employees than private manufacturing workers. Who is writing these State employee paychecks? State employees are under oath to serve and protect the Constitution. Yet they create laws and fines in order to get paid. What and who are they really serving actually?
P.S. Thank God football season is here!
