my life

i am a husband. i am a father of three. i work with computers all day. and enjoy it. i listen to live 105 and ksjs. i have one eyebrow as do my two sons - you're welcome. i am at a larger company now and i need to find out where i stand in the basketball rankings. i suffer from medically-confirmed memory loss. my calves are most likely bigger than yours. i own and operate a macbook pro, but i have to use a lenovo at work now. lame.

commander adama had a happy ending

commander adama really used the fleshlight good on sunday, en route to a happy ending. well done.

fremont fleshlights on top

after 5 weeks of this early season, i am at the top of the fantasy football league with a healthy 5-0 record. the first few weeks, i thought it might have been flukey and didn’t want to talk about. considering that i only won 4 games last year, i am pretty happy to get to 5 wins already this year. next up, noah’s battlestar galactica-piloted team.

i also wanted to post this to be able to use the word “fleshlight” on my website.

happy weekend peeps.

happy stove is happy that it’s friday

fox news is a branch of the gop

i like how the white house labeled fox a branch of the republican party the other day [washington post]

i will admit that the nobel peace prize is a little pre-emptive, especially for just “giving hope” to future generations.

fun day doing very little

the only solid plan we had going today was to watch the blue angels do their final practice over the bay this afternoon. everything else would be improvised on the spot and we also would use public transit as much as possible.

on the bart ride up there, marc wistfully noted the “poor places” we rode over (meaning hayward and san leandro with the tagged fences and small trashy houses).

the highlight of his day turned out to be taking a cab to aquatic park – he was so intrigued with the concept of the meter box that displayed the rapidly escalating fare.

after the blue angels made us deaf making low passes with their afterburners on (while burning fossil fuels at a prodigious rate, no doubt), we took the powell cable car back to the bart station and returned home.

it’s nice to get a couple touristy things in once in a while, but prolonged exposure to tourists makes some people get their panties in a bunch. it’s definitely not for everybody.

rethinking my muni bus plans for friday

marcos and i are heading up to the city to watch the blue angels on friday afternoon. one of the plans was to take bart and then either watch at the embarcadero or take a muni bus or trolley to watch somewhere like marina green or crissy field.

maybe after this, i’ll stay clear of the muni bus system so we don’t get attacked by ugly, old women.

breast cancer awareness month!
