Drumsticks

I had an epiphany at lunch today. I am going to create and market a new product called drumsticks on a drumstick. Basically it will be a fried chicken drumstick and an ice cream drumstick speared on a regulation size wooden drumstick.

I will sell them at the fair.

When you walk up to my drumsticks on a drumstick stand you will see my D.O.A.D.s in their special see through D.O.A.D. containment box. It will be a clear box with one heating side and one freezing side to keep the D.O.A.D.s in a state of perfect hot/cold equilibrium.

And the best part is you get to keep the drumstick when you are done. A sticky, greasy drumstick. The kids will love it (and buy two)!

Art

Ginette and I hit up the Adams Avenue Street Fair on Sunday. It was a beautiful day to be out walking around. For the most part it was the same old stuff for sale. However this time we actually bought something. An awesome artist named Gabe Leonard was selling prints and we just had to buy this great Johnny Cash print. We framed it and put it up the same day. Check out his website and buy some work. We got dibs on Cash though so we better not see this hanging up in your living room.

Disc Golf

Inspired by Dan Kit's comment to my last post here are a few pictures I took at the disc golf course in Rancho Sordo Mudo. As far as I can tell this only 1 of 2 courses in all of Mexico.






 

Active Hobbies

So I have narrowed my active hobbies* down to five.

• Mountain Biking
  
• Raquetball
  
• Surfing
  
• Lifting Weights
  
• Golf (Disc)
  
• Golf (The regular kind)

For a hobby to be on my active list I have to have done it at least once in the last six monthhs.

Is this too many active hobbies? I can't seem to really commit to one. I like them all for short periods and then get bored with them. Surfing is my current favorite and I have been going out every week with some guys from work.

It would be nice to just stick to one and be "that guy who is really good at [insert active hobby]." I guess I run the risk of also being labeled as "that guy who is really weird and is always talking about [insert active hobby]."

*While it is true that I spend quite a bit of time playing World of Warcraft I can't call it an active hobby since screaming at my computer is not excercise.

Workplace Hazards

Have you ever shown up for work on a Monday morning, drank 2 giant cups of coffee, started cleaning up some nasty html code, and then started blasting your Metallica Mega Mix™ on your iPod? I have. It is a dangerous thing. I get so pumped that I just want to slam my fist through my 17" LCD. Blam! I can't even fathom how dangerous it would be if I used a nail gun or drove a Semi for my job.

I think they should do workplace iPod genre screenings and only allow soft rock, adult contemporary and new age.

Spell Checkin'

I give myself a point every time I spellcheck an email and get busted for a word that is not acceptable to Microsoft but is acceptable to me. I got 3 points for an email I just sent that contained the words "bloglines", "woot", and "FTW."

Woot for Internet slang. I can't wait until I have kids. I am going to be so confused.
