Dreams be Dreams

Hello All,

I hope you all had a wonderful/awesome week and weekend! I myself had a wonderful week and a great weekend! Today’s blog title is brought to you by Jack Johnson from the album On and On. Today’s blog might be a little in depth….so with that here goes….

C.S’ 10 Things I Think I Think –

1. I came to the conclusion that it actually costs me money to be friends with some of my “so called” friends. Some of them actually cost me more money than it is seemingly worth to be friends with them…and for that…time for what has seemingly become my annual friend purge.

2. I HATE moving…yet it seems as if every year I am doing just that. I can’t wait to find that one spot that I can live in forever and not have to worry about moving
3. Excited for my annual Father/Son trip this year with my dad as this year it’s…Father/Son/Grandson trip. We are going to Washington D.C. to see the Cowboys v Redskins at RFK Stadium. Ought to be interesting and fun! Jordan already proclaims he wants to visit the White House, not sure that is going to happen around the holiday time…
4. I need to draw up a petition for the weekends to be longer. I mean, 2 days of a 7 day week is not nearly long enough. We should at least compromise and have 3 day weekends…every week. Just seems as soon as I am getting into the “Weekend” groove…it’s Monday.

5. Still haven’t gotten into the whole “Farmville” Craze…maybe someday…or
6. Superhero City…yet everyone swears by these two games….
7. Can’t believe it…but in just over 60 days…it will be Christmas…amazing how fast this year has flown by.

8. Lazy Co-workers should be taken out back and clubbed in the head…thrown over a cliff, or a plastic bag put over their head and blindly pushed into traffic….just saying.
9. Not sure how it happened, but I think that Television has overdone the “medical drama.” There are currently 11 medical dramas on network television right now…how do you spell O-V-E-R-K-I-L-L?
10. Is it the weekend yet?

Michael Real Moment – Not sure what it is lately….but I’ve been thinking more and more about life. I’m nearly 30, working in a job that I love (because it’s cake)…but hate (because it’s a stupid job with stupid people). I’m chasing a dream that I’ve had since I was 12, and I would say it’s nearly in reach….it’s just a matter of working harder and harder to get to that goal. But I’ve just been thinking a lot lately about life in general. I am happy for a wonderful/healthy son, my personal health after a year of hell, love (finally), and many other things…but it just seems as if there is something missing. What it is…I don’t know….I just know that we only live once and I am trying to find what my purpose in this life is and hopefully I find it…because as of now…this moment…this day…I truly don’t know what it is.

Eugene Sports thought of the Day – So far one of the most unpredictable NFL seasons in memory. I mean so many undefeated teams…surprise teams (Broncos/Titans/Saints), team that doesn’t look as if it belongs in the NFL (Titans…59-0 loss…really????) but it is really good so far. I enjoy watching the games on Sunday’s and even more so playing fantasy football. Although my picks have taken a nosedive this season with the unpredictable nature of the games. USC by the way is playing great….especially any time we beat that one school that claims to be good…Notre Dame…yes you….and the other USC is ranked and playing hard (That one is for you Eugene). So I hope the great seasons of both College and Pro Football continue.

Rob Z Thought of The Day – It’s that time of the year again…flu season. Yes it is a little more hyped up this year with the new strain identified as Swine Flu. It’s hitting closer to home as so many people are getting sick and sick and sick with it. I feel bad for the ones that have it, feel bad for the ones that are getting it and just caution you to wash your hands and all that hygienic stuff. It’s a crappy thing to have (the flu) so be careful…and if you think you have it…by all means stay home and take care of yourself…

Rick Moment – Being at Six Flags this past weekend was one of the best times I’ve had in quite some time. I enjoyed every minute of it with my girlfriend. We got to ride on many of the rides there (although the lines are a tad bit too long, the wait is nearly 2 hours for each ride) but in about 9 hours we got on about 10 rides. Being there did remind me of a lot of my childhood with my brothers and family. Coolest rollercoaster…the X2. The weakest rollercoaster that we rode…the Great Adventure…they took out the waterfall…which blows. Overall a great 5 plus mile walk around the park with tons of laughs and time well spent with my love…looking forward to many more weekends like that one...especially with her!!

Nag’s Happy Thought of the Day – Here’s my own personal happy thought….I love being a parent. Seriously, the joy my son brings to my life is unmatched by many things. I cherish the time I spend with him each week and I can’t imagine not being around him. This has been the best part about growing up is the experience of being a parent. I know that I am not the smartest person, but I try to instill good things in him, I try to teach him responsibility and humility and many other things that I think that kids need to learn. I often hope that I am teaching him the right things and not corrupting him too much. Just glad to have the opportunity to be a parent, it is a rewarding and fun filled challenge

Tracy Tad Bit O’Knowledge – In case you all didn’t know…this is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For all the women AND men that are survivors…God Bless each of you. To the others…time to self examine yourself and ensure everything is o.k. All it takes is a second to check and if you do that you could save yourself from having to discover it later…trust me…it is worth it to catch it early. So…in the spirit of the month…get to feelin’ the boobies!

Chad/Nathan Douchebag of the week – I have to give it to the guys in front of us at Six Flags…oh…my… GOD! I wanted to jam a pen in my ear just to keep myself from hearing their BORING stories. And one of them had the nerve to say “I am so funny.” Um…you are not. You are as funny as a plastic bag duct taped to my head while I try to breath. So with that…that group of people are the douchebags of the week. And yes…I actually used my “Filter” and didn’t say a word…damn that was really hard not to say anything….or give the fake laugh…

Nick Movie Reviews –

Where the Wild Things Are – So I went to see this on Sunday night…and as a kid…loved the book…I mean I used to read it a couple of times a week. I even wanted to be Max. I wanted the suit (even tore up a cotton blanket and tried to make a Max suit). I wanted to be like Max. Heck my imagination was already on par with Max’s. The movie…how do you take a 48 page book (mostly pictures) and turn it into nearly a 2 hour movie? Well you add some dark elements, some scary moments and stuff that really wasn’t that suitable for children. I liked certain parts of the movie, really I did, but for the most part it wasn’t that great. 2 times this year something I have loved (now both G.I. Joe and Where the Wild Things Are) have been turned into a movie and both times have I walked away fairly disappointed. It is worth a watch, believe it or not. 3 stars....

Reel Spitt Song of the Week – It’s just a great song Run This Town…I love Kanye (even though he has said and done some of the DUMBEST stuff on the planet) Rhianna is good…although she could’ve kept the long hair…and Jay-Z, because he is one of the best lyricists out there.

Hope you all enjoy the song as much as I do

Hulu Pick of the Day –Today’s show is one that actually airs on ABC and is a good show. I love Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Desperate Housewives, Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog). It’s a show called Castle about a writer that shadows a police officer for a character and along the way he helps solve crimes. A very good show, worth a watch. All 5 of Season 2’s episodes are uploaded.

Hulu Count: 1024 videos watched

133 videos in queue.

Dondi Joke of the Day –

Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the craps table. A very attractive blonde woman from Alabama arrived ....and bet twenty-thousand dollars ($20,000) on a single roll of the dice.

She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I play topless.'

With that, she stripped to the waist; rolled the dice; and yelled , 'Come on, baby.... Southern Girl needs new clothes!' As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up-and-down... and squealed... 'YES! YES! I WON! I WON!'

She hugged each of the dealers... and then picked up her winnings and her clothes, and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' The other answered, 'I don't know... I thought you were watching.

'Moral ---Not all Southerners are stupid.Not all blondes are dumb. But, all men..... are men.

Jordan Quote of the week –

“So when are you coming to pick me up?”

Yeah I got that call from Jordan about 20 times over a 2 day span as he stayed at his Grandmother’s house (my mom’s house) while I went to L.A. He doesn’t or hasn’t spent much time with her so it’s an adjustment…yeah that cell phone he has was on overtime…

V Spanish Word of the Day –Today’s word: 'estar harto de', noun: means to be fed up with

I think it’s appropriate...because that’s exactly how I feel about some of my “so called” friends....completely fed up with their crap.

Wednesday – Supposed to work at home, most likely coming into the office and will stay at home on Friday or something. Have rehearsals with some of the actors and definitely going grocery shopping.
Thursday – In the office…yay. Probably not much else planned after that.
Friday – Working at home. Time to start looking for a new place in the next couple of days and then purging half of the stuff out of my apartment. Writing and all that good stuff.
Saturday – Sleeping in…I hope. Never know what pops up.
Sunday - Football!!! I have to take Jordan to Dave and Busters as I promised him I would totally do that. So I have to live up to that. Hanging out at home and maybe a movie….will see.
