Addicted To The Dumbest Show On TV
This is most likely one of the crappiest shows on television right now. It’s a bunch of Americans in Tokyo doing a reality show where they are on a Japanese game show. They do stupid stuff and make themselves look like idiots on the game show, then they go off camera from the game show and look like idiots on the regular show. It really is the dumbest thing I have ever seen, and I love it.
Since Kristin and I watch so little TV, when we do we watch things on the computer. Since we have caught up on all the LOST seasons, and Hell’s Kitchen is over, we have run out of things to watch. I talked Kristin in to trying out “I Survived A Japanese Gameshow” since it’s free online and now, like every other reality show thing, I’m hooked. Anyone seen this? It’s really bad… but awesome.
So let’s hear it. What reality show are you embarrassed to say you love. You know you have them. Don’t be shy.
Don’t Let This Depress You
A friend and I were talking the other day about the current economical status of our country. Gas prices are through the roof, causing people to want (need) to buy other forms of transportation such as scooters or motorcycles, causing the prices of those other forms of transportation to rise. And that’s just one of the examples of how we are financially screwed as a country. House prices are in the toilet, employers are downsizing, people are buying less because there is less to spend. I think there are very few people reading this that aren’t affected by all of this stuff.
This friend and I started wondering how many people in the country are worse off now then they have ever been financially. I know it sucks to think about, but I’m curious. Here’s the deal. You can comment as “Anonymous” if you want, but I’m curious. On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the “poorest” you have ever been, and 10 being the “richest”, where do you fall today?
*Obviously, our “rich” and “poor” are relative to the World’s and I by no means am saying that anyone here in America is “poor” compared to the rest of the world. But let’s face it, we live in a culture and society where we, as American’s, need more to survive in this culture. We could go back and forth with that if we wanted to, but that’s not what this post is about.*
So that’s the question. On a personal scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the “poorest” you’ve ever been and 10 being the “richest”, where do you fall today?
Fireballs, Bazooka Joe, And Big League Chew
So the other night we were driving and somehow started talking about Big League Chew coming out of some kids nose when I was younger. I started thinking about how my generation all know and remember the same candy. Everyone around my age remembers Atomic Fireballs, or Lemonheads, or Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum. I even remember when Warheads came out and were a big deal with all my friends.
I started thinking about what candy is today’s generation’s candy? What candy will my kids look back and remember sitting around talking about with their friends. What candy will everyone remember in twenty years? So that’s today’s question.
What candy was your favorite as a kid and what do you think today’s generation’s candy is?
That One’s Mine
Tonight Kristin and I went out to celebrate the end of her working at Target. To celebrate a new chapter in our lives again, and an excitement to see what’s going to happen. We also went out to connect with each other. It has felt like we have been living separate lives running as fast as we can in different directions and stopping only to sleep. We also went out because we have a free babysitter once the boys are fed, bathed, read to, and asleep. We went to our favorite sushi place for some sushi, fried rice and drinks.
You see that drink there on the left? The fancy one with the orange slice and the cherry on top? The one with the shaped whip cream topping? Yeah, that one’s mine. The beer is Kristin’s. Go ahead, make fun of me. I can drink a Guinness with the best of them, but sometimes I like a “fancy” drink. And you know what? I liked it. I liked it and would have it again. Even if Kristin made me take a picture of it to mock me. I don’t care. So what if my wife is sometimes tougher than me. She still likes me. So what if the waitress brought it to the table and tried to hand it to Kristin and I had to tell her that was mine and the beer was hers. No big deal.
For those of you legally entitled to drink adult beverages responsibly and morally allow yourself to, which could be another post entirely, are you a fancy beverage drinker, or a straight forward beer type person?
Is that the longest run-on question you have ever read?

Facing your bed do you sleep on the left or the right? I’m on the right.
Next Day Dining
We went to Quizno’s after church yesterday. Honey Mustard Chicken is what Kristin and I get every time. It’s the best. Here’s the thing though, I had the rest of Kristin’s sandwich today and it was crazy nasty. Not only because it had tomatoes on it, but also because the dressing had created a soggy bread mush that had melted around the chicken chunks. No good. I thought at first that it wouldn’t be that bad simply because of the toasted bread factor, but I was mistaken.
Obviously, pizza will be number one on the list but I’m curious what you think the best and worst “next day dining” food there is? Aside from pizza what is your favorite “leftover” and what is the nastiest?
Ready? Go.
Stats Suck Sunday – Guilty Pleasure
Welcome to Sunday where Stats Suck and there is little to no expectation of involvement in this post. Although, I think there could be a lot to talk about after this one.
This week’s installment of Stats Suck Sunday is your Musical Guilty Pleasure. We all have them. It’s the musical artist that you hate that you like. You never mention to anyone that you own the records, and when someone gets in your car and it’s on you tell them it’s your wife’s / husband’s / roommate’s / friend’s and quickly turn it off. Or maybe it’s so much an embarrassment that you don’t even own the record, but when you hear it on the radio you turn it up and sing along.
Just a few weeks ago Kristin and I heard this in the car and started talking about it so here goes. YouTube has been working like garbage the last few weeks so hopefully this actually plays for you. Enjoy.
So here goes folks. Let’s hear it. What’s your musical guilty pleasure?
Ready? Go.
How Do You Sleep?
I sleep mostly on my stomach. It’s sort of an “on my side but mostly on my stomach” sort of sleep, and I like my head covered with blankets and my feet stuck out the bottom of the covers. And I love it. I hate sleeping on my back. That’s how I roll.
You?
