Well, it's been a few days since I've taken the time to write. I don't exactly know HOW many people read this, but I guess what I look forward to is that someone I don't know does in fact read my random thoughts.

Alright, first order of business, I was sitting with my teenage nieces and nephews tonight as they watched Jersey Shore. This is my first real encounter with the show. I mean, everyone has heard of "The Situation", and the fist pumping, and the guido-like persona that these young adults are trying to nestle themselves into. On tonight episode, and sorry if i'm ruining anything for you if you haven't watched ::LET THIS BE YOUR TIME TO STOP READING IF YOU DO NOT WANT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED::


SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Tonight, "The Situation" finds himself caught in a love triangle with these two gorgeous Italian twins.
--My first issue with this is:
How does a guy like HIM, get lucky enough to talk to TWO girls like THEM? I mean sure, he isn't the worst looking guy and a camera does follow him, but do you honestly think these people stick around once they get to know the real baggage?

Also, Sammi and Ronnie try to work things out.
--I saw one of my niece roll her eyes when the apology and decision to try again came over the TV. I asked aloud why that is such a bad thing. My niece looked right at me and said, "All they do is fight and act bitter."
I know A LOT of couples that are that way and NO ONE cares, why do so many get bent when this happens to these guys?!

Finally, Snooki is confronted about sleeping with "The Situation".
--Who the fuck cares?
Like THAT wasn't going to happen.



I'll probably never willingly watch this show, however, I did find interest in watch a teenage reaction to some of the material. I just don't want to tell my little guys that, unfortunately, this is a lot like life.

Vacation has been wonderful, but sadly it's coming to an end. Tomorrow night will be our last night out. I will post pictures as soon as I find the ambition to do so, but I WILL tell you that all in all, it was a really fun and relaxing time with friends. It definitely brought us all back to the friendship that we once had, the truly genuine friendship of a group. No drama. No fights. No disagreements. It was quiet and wonderful.

Lastly, i've been toying with the idea of picking up a new hobby. I've decided that since I love beer, wine, and cigars so much, why not turn it into something?! I think I might try to find a book tomorrow on the perfect cigars. Random thought, isn't it weird how men associate a lot of masculinity in a cigar and hard liquor? I guess I should make it very clear now that i'm not a tough guy.. I like my beer cold and my liquor to burn. I'm not a mobster, nor am I living the lifestyle of the rich and famous. I'm just a plain, simple guy that thinks he has good taste.



Well, thanks for reading!

It's odd, we just recently discovered Spawn has a pseudo interest in Jersey Shore - - but she denies really wanting to watch it, being more into the "train wreck" aspect. I can see this, as she seems to be drawn towards "reality" shows like this and Toddlers in Tiaras, etc. I really don't get the appeal. Of course, I don't really get TV at all, other than live sports.

To answer your questions, I'd love to give Mac a try as I'm not devoted to PCs but I've only used a PC, all my peripherals and software are for Windows, etc. . . . I'm just afraid switching now would entail more expense than it could ever justify. As to the lawyer thing - - meh, it's a living. I went to law school because I was sick of waiting tables, which was about all was qualified to do with a BA in history & no desire to teach. I do like my job however, it's just working with other lawyers which bums me out. They suck.

Enjoy the remainder of your vacation.
