Heyyyy

What a relaxing day. Since it rained yesterday, I got the day off from work. (Can't dig or do much excavation in the rain) It's currently raining and I'm out on the back porch just sittin' here with the dog enjoying the storm. Oh yea, since its storming now - I probably won't have to work tomorrow either -- SCORE! Maaaaan, the simple things sure can be enjoyable sometimes. In fact, the simple things in life are pretty much all I really need. Give me a rainy afternoon, a porch and my dog and I'll have a great time. Yeah, life is good. :-)

On the agenda for the rest of the day:

- Haircut

- Bar

Not a bad selection. Call my cell if you'd like to join me at the bar. If you'd like to join me for the haircut---that's just weird...

Ice, out.

Hello, friends.

Hi!

First off, I wanna say thanks to Tony for showing up at a recent hockey game of mine. I know I can count on you for just about anything. Seriously. Thanks man.

In other news, I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up-to-date on my webshots. I've been taking a lot of good pics, but I've been using the digital camera on the job more often now and I haven't gotten around to taking it out of my truck. One of these days I'll eventually remember to bring it in the house with me when I get home from work and then - and only then - will I have an update thats worthwhile.

Speaking of the truck - quite recently the old Ranger decided to take a dip for the worse and bleed to death on me. It developed an engine miss along with a problem with the 4x4 system. This, coupled with the rusty bed and graffiti'd tailgate stirred me into action. If you clicked the link you'll notice the picture is of both myself and a very different truck. I traded the old Ranger in on a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and MAAAAAN does this sucker have some power.

The new truck (which I've yet to decide on a name -- I'm tossing around calling it either "Big Time" or "Ron Burgundy") is absolutely amazing. It's got a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine and feels like its got enough power to pull over a large house or small barn. The interrior is LOADED and comes complete with four doors. It's one hell of a truck and fun to drive. I can't wait to start towing around some equipment.

Gettin' mushy again; lots of new appreciations and realizations are beginning to flow through me like a river filled with fresh-water salmon. So many of my friends have some amazing qualities about themselves. I spent a good hour talking with Andrea after the Fayette County Rib Cookoff in my truck while Ted and Rollo rode in the bed. We just BS'd about general things until the topic of her & Ted's relationship came up. Here's the bottom line: I tell you, if ever two people were meant to be on this earth - it's my two very awesome friends Ted & Andrea. I hope that one day, if I ever decide to date again, that my relationship is one TENTH that of theirs. Not only are they BEST FRIENDS, they're soulmates. Every single time I think about that it brings a huge smile to my face. :-) If there was a "how-to" guide to relationships, I'm sure these two could write the book. If ever anything was right in the world - these two are. :-)

And it doesen't stop there. So many of my friends have so many unbelievable qualities that I'd have to create and unbelievable list that many of you who read my blog would not only consider to be unbelievable but also unreadable. Thanks to everyone who's always there for me, always around and always a part of my life. That's what its all about.

Thanks guys. :-)

Anywho, it was a Rollo full of ice cream and cramps that brought the above title into this world. Now, onto better things!

The two hockey games over the weekend went well. We won both of them and I had two assists, bringing my point total thus far in the season to five. On a more sad note - I've yet to have a single friend besides my mom and sis come watch my games this year. It's especially disheartening because a whole slew of people used to come and watch. It sucks that my friends used to sit through loss after loss for the past two summers and now that we're winning, nobody is showing up. I tell ya, its awfully nice to look into the stands and see some pals - even if it is just some summer roller hockey league.

Wrapping things up a bit more deeply than usual, I've been getting a feeling lately like something absolutely HUGE is going to happen soon. This feeling has been pulsing through me like a million blue cats running full speed in the wrong direction on a one-way street towards the sweet allure of a satisfying bowl of milk for almost a week. Now, I'm not talking about SUYM at all when I say that (This is strictly about Crock-life), but lately things have been so good that everything feels like its going to just round out with a terrific, amazing bang. I certainly hope that it - whatever it may be - happens soon. :-)

Catchya round.

Hello, Beautiful!

Several things on the agenda for today. First and foremost: Ted got a new necktie. While I'm not exactly sure about the details of the tie, one can bet that it was absolutely FANTASTIC. There also was the soon-to-be-due homework for an online class I'm taking this summer. Environmental Geology: What you never thought you might not have known. Not a big deal here.

Secondly, I've got a hockey game at 4:30pm at Bill's Golfland. I strongly urge anybody who reads this to come. I'm serious, even if you live in another country, it's worth the flight-in.

Next I'll be collaborating with Rollo on some ideas for an upcoming SUYM project. We've got the plotline pretty much planned out, now we've gotta institute the proper execution. It's definately gonna be interesting to see how it all falls together and, like always, it will be available for download when it's complete. Keep checking the site!

Finally, after the day is through, one last joke will be played. With the help of Jaker, we plan on scaring the be-jesus out of my old man later on tonight. It, too, will be filmed and if it turns out well enough - might be included on the upcoming SUYM DVD.

...Wait...

Did he just say upcoming DVD???... You betcha... Tons of unreleased footage... And we're shooting for a September release...

Til next time!

It's Just a Name!

Right. So, since pretty much everyone who uses the internet has one of these blogs - I caved and decided to get one as well. So much for nonconformism. If that's even a word. For those of you who've been wondering why I might have waited so long to begin my blogventure here's the number one reason: "The Infamous Memoirs". I'm a bit worried that the content I place here will take away from the content I put into the memoirs. Let's all hope this doesn't happen.

Moving right along. I chose the name "Sex Panther" not only because many people are gonna see the word "Sex" and be immediately driven to this thing, but because I decided the title of my blog should come from a movie so legendary that it practically defined the summer of 2004 --- Anchorman. You'll remember that Sex Panther was the cologne that Brian Fantana used in a failed attempt to make a pass at Ms. Veronica Corningstone.

Wrapping things up, I absolutely hate this blog template. I've spent the better part of an afternoon trying to find a decent template that would fit with SUYM's CSS and there is so little to choose from that I'm thinking about sticking with the default (which is even worse than this). What a buncha friggin crap. I'm going to try to keep this updated as much as possible. Gotta go find Murphy. Later on.
