My Most Unususal Christmas

Christmas 1985 had to be my most craziest Christmas! Starting, my Mom won a cruise to the Bahamas from her work, so she and my Dad went over Christmas. Since she only had 2 tickets, I had to stay with my Sister her in West Virginia. It was very boring here that week, since A few weeks before, Moorefield had pretty much been destroyed by a flood. Anyway...........Now the fun

To get to Florida to catch the cruise ship, Mom and Dad had to fly from Virginia to Miami. Mom handled the flight pretty well, but Dad just about freaked out! So after completing their cruise, which they really loved, when they got Back to Miami, Dad wouldn't get back on the plane. The only vehicle they could find was a U-Haul truck, so they drove back home in that. That still makes me laugh my ass off every time I think about it!

My Christmas List

Christmas is almost here, so here's some things I'd like to get:

1: A new VCR/DVD recorder combo.

2: Revell 1/72 USS Gato Submarine model kit.

3: Battlestar Galactica Season 3 on DVD

4: Books

5: Clothes

6: MONEY

Trouble In Birdland

Spring Training is 2 months away, but it already looks like it's going to be a long season for my Baltimore Orioles. Lets see what's going on after a horrid 2007:

1:Traded one of their top players (Miguel Tejada)
2: Had another top player (Brian Roberts) caught up in the Steroid scandal
3: Will possibly trade their best pitcher, Erik Bedard.
4: Their closer (Chris Ray) and another top reliever (Danys Bayez) will both miss
the upcoming season due to elbow surgeries.
5: If Bedard is traded, the only experienced starter on the roster would be the
erratic Daniel Cabrera, an 18 game loser.


Here are some of my ideas to keep the 2008 season from becoming worse then
1988 was.


1: Resign Free Agent Pitcher Steve Trachsel, who the O's traded at the deadline in
July. He's an innings eater, and throws strikes.

2: Sign free agent pitcher Carlos Silva. He also eats innings, and hardly walks
anyone.

3: Trade Cabrera, newly acquired Luke Scott, and 3-4 minor leaguers to the Cubs
for Kerry Wood. Wood could take over as the closer, letting Jamie Walker and
Chad Bradford resume their 7th and 8th inning relief duties.

4: Sign any free agent hitter willing to come to Baltimore.

Snow!

Yesterday we had our first snow of the year. We had about 2 inches maybe. Winter is here!

Homework Time

Crystal doing her homework.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Thanksgiving quote

My guidance counselor from 7th and 8th grade, Mr. Estes, had a funny thing he told me before each thanksgiving. He's always say, Hey Billy, hope you have a good Thanksgiving, theres gonna be more that one Turkey stuffed at my house, how about yours?

The Afternoon from Hell

This afternoon was one I'd really love to forget! The day was going pretty good until 3 PM. At that time, my Mom and I left to take the 2 boys she's been babysitting down to the parking lot of Mcdonald's to meet their Mom. The trip down there usually takes around 10 minutes or less, but.........There was road construction going on, so it took over an hour to get to the parking lot. Since traffic was still stopped, and we obviously going anywhere, I took my Mom out to dinner at the chinese restaraunt. After that, we got back on the road, and at a bit after 6, we finally got home. You'd think that after that, things had to be better , but wait, there's more! We walked in the door, and noticed blood all over the kitchen gate. Something had spooked the dogs, and one of them got her foot caught in the gate, ripping the nails off of one foot. I'm sooo glad it's almost bedtime!

Dang! This is no Hoax!

As most of you know, I am a coin collector. Yesterday, in a coin magazine, I was reading about a new gold collectors coin being issued by Canada. The face value of it is ONE MILLION DOLLARS! That is no typo, i wrote one million dollars! That's is one coin that this particular collector has a snowball's chance of ever acquiring!

Luke And Levi Playing on the Bed

My Stalker

Well gang, I managed to extract myself from a sticky situation this weekend! I have an online friend from Africa who is a pretty ok guy. The problem was that his sister has this major thing for me. She PMd me and told me that she fell in love with me when she saw my picture. So I was really freaking out! I really had to think fast, to get her off my case. Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered at her attention, but the first time she ever talked to me, that is SCARY. As much as I need a woman, I'm not gonna hook up with someone that is that obsessed with me. Soooo.....I told her that I was gay, and that freaked her out majorly, she went away, crisis adverted!

Adventures In Babysitting

For the past couple of weeks, My Mom and I have been babysitting Luke and Levi, the 2 year old twin sons of my Preacher. I tell ya what, they are a handful!!! Don't get me wrong, they're good kids, but they like to get into everything, and run in and out of the house.You should hear em play with the phone. They go "hello" and Mom says hello back, then they start laughing like crazy people:p Dan and Holly do a good job raising them, they're the best kids I've ever had to watch!

Washington Capitals Preview

This evening, my Washington Capitals will kick of their 2007-2008 NHL season with a game against the Atlanta Thrashers in Georgia. Although they probably won't make the playoffs this year, the Caps should be much improved from the last few seasons. 46 goal scorer and former Rookie Of The Year Alex Ovechkin and 38 goal Scorer Alexander Semin return with another year under their belts, joined by promising rookie Nicklas Backstrom, and 30 goal scorer and Team Captain Chris Clark also returns. Washington has also signed as free agents roll players Tom Poti and Michael Nylander, who are expected to produce good results. And for the 15th year, Olaf Kolzig will be in goal for the Caps, backed up by Brent Johnson, one of the best backup goalies in the league, even though his record doesn't show it. It will be hard to make the playoffs in the talented Southeast Division with former Stanley Cup Champions Carolina, Tampa Bay, and improved Atlanta and Florida, but if the Caps can improve on their records against these teams, and also improve their league worse 1-11 shootout record, any thing is possible!

One of those days.....

Today was a totally shitty day! First off, the VCR part of my combination VCR/DVD player went bad, eating up a few of my tapes, so it needs to be replaced. Then, I fell down and chipped a piece off of my bridge, so now I have a dentist appointment for next Thursday. Hopefully it can be fixed. There's an hour and a half left in the day, wonder if anything else is gonna happen:P

This Weeks Bonehead Award goes to...

San Diego Padres Outfielder Milton Bradley. He ended his season early and hurt his team's chances of success during the playoffs by blowing out his knee. Here's the bad part about it: He blew it out being restrained by his manger, who was keeping him from going after an umpire who had made a call against him. Sheeesh!

Answers To Questions about us Men

# WHY ARE MEN SUCH JERKS? It's a testosterone thing. Much similar to your PMS thing, we men suffer from testosterone poisoning. Why do you think the average life span of a male is typically 10 years shorter (and it's not just from all the bitching and nagging we have to endure)? Hormone modifies behavior. We're just misunderstood.

# WHY DO MEN ALWAYS HAVE TO OGLE AT OTHER WOMEN? Again, this is a testosterone thing. Do you honestly think that all the testosterone just fell out of our bodies the moment we met you? Besides, women do it as well. Women are just much better at not getting caught. I'm fairly certain it's some sort of photographic memory deal. Women take one quick look and memorize it for later reference. Since men lack this ability, we try to burn it into our memory by staring as much as we can.

# WHY DO MEN ALWAYS TOUCH THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC? We occasionally need to adjust our little friend and make him happy. It's much like adjusting your bra. Being in public is just an added bonus.

# WHY DO MEN ALWAYS SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS? We like to. It's actually a whole lot of fun to see our partner frustrated by a few simple (and well chosen) words.

# WHY ARE MEN SO UNCOMMUNICATIVE? You'd learn to keep your big mouth shut too if every time you open it you get into trouble with your partner.

# WHY DO MEN HAVE TO ACT LIKE SUCH RETARDS? Well, we don't actually have to; we do it because we enjoy it. It's the old fashioned pride in a job well done that's missing in so much of the world nowadays. Farting is another fun thing for men!!

# WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SHARE THEIR FEELINGS? Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea how we feel? Unless we're experiencing some extreme emotion like rage, hatred, disgust, or a brick on our foot, we have no idea how we feel. Personally, I get a headache whenever I try to figure out how I feel.

# WHY CAN'T MEN CUDDLE MORE (I.E., LIE DOWN AND HUG)? Please ... How many hours do you think there is in a day? We oblige you as much as we can, but who the hell (besides women) can stand lying around for hours on end? We men ... Men hunters ... Need go roam ... Starve in cave ... Must go find wildebeest ... Now sitting on our asses for hours on end on the other hand is a whole other story.

# HOW CAN MEN SIT ON THEIR ASSES ALL DAY WITHOUT MOVING? Men have very powerful sets of sitting muscles developed by evolution that enable us to sit for extended periods of time without getting tired. In prehistoric times, it was often necessary to sit in one spot for extended periods of time while hunting for prey. The more successful hunters were able to sit very still for very extended periods of time thereby passing on this ability to their progeny. The fidgety types were all gobbled up by saber toothed tigers etc. The end result is that almost all modern men are born with this innate ability.

# WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SAY "I LOVE YOU?" Men are taught from a tender young age to be self-sufficient. To say that we love you is equivalent to saying that we need you. Most men consider that a character fault. It's not easy to admit to one's own character faults.

# WHY DO MEN SAY "I LOVE YOU" WHEN THEY HARDLY KNOW ME? Ho, Ho, Ho ... Aren't you special? Well, some men think it's a sure fire way to get into your pants. Surprisingly, it actually still works quite well.

# WHY DOESN'T MY PARTNER EVER ANSWER ME? We just simply don't have the energy to answer every single one of your questions. If we think we do not have the answer, or that you will not like the answer, we simply remain quiet and save the energy for other things.

# WHY WON'T MEN EVER PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES? Why should we? It doesn't really bother us that much. Besides, we know darn well you'll pick it up.

# WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BELCHING AND FARTING? This usually only occurs after months of courting. It's our way to let you know that we're comfortable with you. Believe it or not, it's actually a sign of affection. Besides, holding it for extended periods of time gives us stomach cramps.

# WHY DO MEN HATE SHOPPING? It's an evolutionary thing. Men hunt. Women gather. We just want to go out, kill it, and bring it back. Who wants to spend hours and hours to look at things we have no intention of killing? Err ... buying?

Feeling Human Again

This, my friends, has been the longest weekend of my life! Friday, my mom and I came down with a stomach virus, and lemme tell ya, it was not fun! I don't think I've ever thrown up as much as I did Friday! I woke up at 4 AM Friday morning, and from that time till the next evening, I made I don't know how many trips to the bathroom. At least I made it to the bathroom. Poor Mom had puke all over her bedroom floor, and I dunno if her carpet is ever gonna come clean! All I can say is...THANK GOD FOR PEPTO!!!!
