Death by "Just Dance 2" video game

Image
How was Christmas... Good, I had fun - the kids had fun and they loved the presents. But I have to say I think they were trying to kill me. No, really! My daughter got this cool game called "Just Dance 2". She has been ranting and raving about it for a very long time now. It is one of those things you say - I hope no one else gets her this because she is going to love it. which by the way she did...... Oh boy did she ever.... But boy did I have a surprise. But what I did not expect was the heart attack just waiting to happen when we started playing this game. My goodness - I am an avid video game player and when I play I get all into it. Just watch me play tennis on the Wii... you better give me room because I swing my arms like if I was really on the court and swinging a real racket. So when they put the game in, the music started pumping and they were playing one of my old favorite hip hop songs.... yeah I had to go all out.... Oh yeah I got the moves…. Oh my God, I jumped,

Blonde Joke... [ another funnny joke ]

Image
A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his pretty blonde neighbor came out of the house and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut and stormed back into the house. A little later she came out of her house again, went to the mailbox, again opened it, and again slammed it shut. Angrily, back into the house she went.... As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it shut harder than ever.... Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, “Is something wrong?” To which she replied, “There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps saying, ‘YOU’VE GOT MAIL’.”

Funny Scary Football teeth - OMG!!!!!

Image
OH My God! This is what happens when kids play sports..... No, just kidding. Apparently my son wants to break the tooth fairy bank, he can't loose one tooth at a time - he has to loose them one right after the other. The latest tooth to fall out was during flag football practice. His teeth protection guard apparently was loosening his loose tooth even more and he gave me a scare when he ran over to me with a bloody tooth. Ofcourse he was too chicken to let me pull it out, so what did he do? He yanked it out himself.... don't know if I should be proud or scared? But I did take some wonderful pictures! This picture should go up on my wall for all to see.

Obama appoints "Devout Muslim" ..????

Image
Well, boys and girls, today the fox is guarding the hen house. The wolves will be herding the sheep! Obama appointed two devout Muslims to homeland security posts. Obama and Janet Napolitano appointed Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant...? Just wondering. Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn't this make you feel safer already?? That should make our home land much safer, huh!? Was it not "Devout Muslim men" that flew planes into U.S. buildings 8 1/2 years ago? Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood ? Please forward this important information to any wh

Verizon Wireless changes "Employee Discount" Program

Here is something interesting and tricky. Verizon Wireless is changing or has already changed it's employee discount program. In my opinion, what they have done is basically forced people's hands to sign up for thier website and sign up for "paperless" billing. Here are the detials: Verizon basically keeps the same agreement with your employer as far as discount goes. But, if you have not signed up to "myverizon" or if have not signed up for "paperless" billing you will lose 3% of your "Employee Discount". So if you want to keep your full discount, you have to sign up for the above mentioned requirements. Not a big deal for most, except that they have not gone out of thier way to "announce" or advertise this change and are waiting for customers to realize the change [ meaning bill will be higher ] and are giving thier sales reps a script to feed to customers who walking complianing about the change and loss of 3% savings. So ple

Are we STUPID - Double Taxation: Death tax - inheritance tax

Image
Double Taxation: Death tax - inheritance tax I have to ask - are you stupid? Forgive me, maybe it is congress and the pro “tax the Rich” yahoos who believe we’re stupid.? I’ve been hearing several commenter’s on TV say that we should tax the rich more because they deserve to pay more. After all, all those greedy rich people can afford it right. Or the woman who made me laugh because she said that "the rich should be taxed more because they have so much money and are sitting home doing nothing and being unproductive". What? Poor people hanging at home playing their $300 dollar Xbox360 collecting welfare or food stamps are more productive????? Look, I don’t love rich people and like poor people, you have the good and the bad. But my problem with taxes is that the Government who wants to " suck up " to struggling voters by saying their going after the greedy rich people & forget to mention that those tax proposals effect the poor as well as the rich. And using the

How do you know your getting old?

Image
How do you know your getting old? Here is a good question: How do you know your getting old? I have been noticing that beside the fact that my age is showing - you know, grey hair, wrinkles, tiring easily and the hair thing….. I have also notice the not so subtle things that scream “old” to those around me. Take for instance: 1- A new fashion craze seems oddly similar to an old fashion when you were a kid. 2- You like new hip music because unknowing to you it sampled an old favorite song of yours. 3- New tv shows, movies and so forth annoys you because it doesn’t do justice to the original series. 4- When you try to help your kids with their homework you find out that “NO” you are not smarter than a fifth grader. I guess the biggest clue I had in realizing how age is creeping up on me is this one obvious clue - I was sitting at work, I got up and realized I had some how sprained my ankle. I figure I’d walk it off - not good. I figured that I would bounce back and tomorrow I would be ba

How cheap is your Boss

Image
How cheap is your Boss? So, everyone knows that times are tough, that the economy is hemorrhaging and things are tight. But I was wondering: How cheap is your Boss? I ask because I realized that my boss is extremely cheap. I mean really cheap. Now I’m not saying this because I am some disgruntled employed who wants a raise or is unhappy at his job. I like my job, I enjoy it….. Even with the bad days and some crazy customers. But I believe that my boss may be the cheapest B@stard in the entire world. Let me explain: Four months ago, one of the only two staplers in my office disappeared. Just disappeared… poof, gone. So I emailed my supplies department and asked for a new stapler. I was told that they would see what they could do for me ???? See what they could do? That should have been my first clue. One month later I had nothing and called again, again the same response. Two months later I called, sent my fifth email and still… they will see what they can do???? Three months and I was

Did “Internet” really change the world?

Image
Did the “Internet” really change the world? I remember when I first realize the potential of the internet - it turns out that I was totally wrong. It’s amazing, the internet was suppose to change the world. People were talking about how we would live in a better world because the internet would allow us to be a paperless society - save the planet. Or it would make the sharing of information faster so education would grow…. Not. In the end, the internet brought out one thing - the worst in us. What brought this all on. I was here at home on my day off. I figure I would take some time to be productive. You know get something’s done. Soon I found myself in front of my laptop - you know to do some bill paying, banking, investing, something productive… nope. I pulled my eyes away from my laptop screen long enough for slowly focus my eyes to check what time it was… can you believe I spent four [ 4 ] hours online. Want to know what I did….? Nothing productive I can tell you that much. The hig

Undeserving nobel prize winners Al gore and Obama

Image
BE SURE TO READ THE CARTOON AND MESSAGE BELOW 63 YEARS LATER. The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving.... Irena Sendler There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..) She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled

No you Don't need a Droid FREE cell phone

Image
Really, what a great deal - but no, I don't think you need a Droid cell phone. No, even if it is a FREE cell phone..... Yep, that was my opinion - not that it mattered much. Why, Because she [ my wife ] went out and got herself a Droid cell phone. Great it’s a free cell phone at this website - Verizon Wireless Android Sale . I personally believe that 99 percent of the people who own any kind of "smart" cell phone - do not really need it. In fact most of these people do nothing with these smart phones other than use them as toys. The funny thing is that I watch people with their cell phone, I have two co-workers who have smart phones and they basically use it as a toy at work. They don’t do anything productive at work with their cell phone, they just watch videos, play games and spend their time on facebook. Wow, I remember how smart phones were originally sold as tools for business people so they can stay connected with their business. Today staying connected means kee

Home Insurance - what a SCAM

Image
We all think that insurance is a waste of money - that is until we need it. A co-worker of mine was telling me how a client of his was getting a large $90,000 dollar check from his home insurance company. Apparently the client was home and decided to start cooking his evening meal, then decided to go outside and check on the kids. He spent a wonderful time playing catch with the kids and then realized that he forgot that he had forgotten about cooking dinner. I guess all that billowing smoke and the flames bursting from his home must have been a clue. Sadly enough his entire home was burned down to the ground, thankfully no one was hurt in the fire. Having a house - the great "American" dream.... no one likes paying for house insurance - that is until you need. I have never really enjoyed anything that has to do with insurance, I simply can not put my head around the idea that we are basically gambling with me having my life turned upside down. My house, every American has on

Funny, pillow fight of death

Image
Oh I just had to post this, it made me luagh so hard. It reminded me of real life oddly enough. Did you ever start a simple game or a simple play fight and then you end up getting way out hand.... no really. I remember when I was a kid me and my older sister were play fighting, we had just finished watching some television show that inspired us to "play fight". I don't remember what the show was about, but I remember what happened afterward. We starting play fighting, I got the upper hand and decided to boast how strong I was and how I was going to win. I do not remmber how but I had some how over powered her enough to have her pinned on the ground - [ thinking back she may have planned it that way ]. Some how she destracted me by warning me that she was going to win.... I stopped to gloat and some how she bent her legs and planted her feet on my chest - the next thing I know I was flying across the room and landed upside down with my feet up on the dreser... not funny. O

Curse you YMCA - I hate you!

Image
Curse you YMCA - I hate you! I could no longer avoid it, I’ve been telling my wife I had to work - so it made it easy to get out of going with her. Well, today was the day I could no longer say no. I simply had no excuse, off work for the week end, no plans or side work that needed to be done…… Ok honey I will go with you to the YMCA and work out with you….. ??? No, I am not a lazy slob or a husband that doesn’t want to spend time with his wife - it’s that I am not into all the “exercise” thing and really - I do hate the sun…. I live in Florida and most activities here deal with being outside and being under the sun… can you say “crispy crunchy” sun burn. So, Saturday morning my wife woke me up early and said the most terrible words I’ve ever heard - “lets go work out” ….. What, this early in the morning! I have to say though, as hard as it was dragging my sleepy butt across town to work out on all those machines of torture wasn’t so bad as I thought - I even felt good enough to go and

Dad I hate 3D movies - no don't want to see Prince of Persia

Image
Oh my God, things are getting weird around here. It's summer time and my baby girl is in New York and all I have is my little boy for the summer. I'm trying to do my best at finding the money and time to make his summer a fun time. Or atleast, I'm trying to make it that he has a memorable summer so he doesn't feel like his sister had a better time than he did. So why am I just finding out that my son hates 3D movies. No I'm not kidding - he really hates 3D movies. I thought he was kidding when he would tell me he wanted to see a movie that just came out but would always say "I want to see that dad, unless it's 3D...." I never took him seriously until this last Saturday. Oh my what a scene. He has been talking about wanting to see the movie "Prince of Persia" - yeah not your typical child movie but he was all stoke about. Until we showed up at the movie theater and he didn't want to go in - he started crying and pouting, he was so scared a

It's been a while seen my last confession - oops, I mean post. I've sort of been busy working [ trying to make up the money I spent on my camping vacation ]. I have also been playing with the kids and yes - loosing my manhood....... I Have a confession? You know, I would do anything for my kids.... anything! That is just a given, I believe most Parents would, but in my attempt to help my duaghter learn about money, how to earn it, manage it and start her own business - I learned I have a creative and [ dare I say ] feminine side to me ....

Kelly Park Apopka florida - Camping 2010

Image
Camping, it's the best family bonding experience! This years Florida Camping vacation was filled with thrills, fun and even life threatening danger - that's right, if you thought camping was a dull experience - hey, we proved you wrong. This year we went Camping, the family - we left the dog behind [ yea ! ] and we packed up all our gear and we hit the road. When we got there I was worried about the weather - and yes it rained like no tomorrow the first night and the next day - I thought my tent was going to float away. But after surviving the torrential down pour the sun came out and the fun began. As always the family saw nature - a bit too close for my taste. The squirrels were everywhere and the raccoons kept coming around at all hours of the night every night [ but we learned by this time how to store our food and keep it away from their reach ]. The river was freezing cold - I mean cold - my nieces lips were blue but that didn't stop her from going into the water or e
