All About Bentley

Two drums and a cymbal fall off of a cliff. Ba-dum-ching.

I can't get enough of Black Eyed Peas (the band, not the food). I just keep listening to the first two tracks off of "Monkey Business" over and over and over. I'm probably driving everyone around me crazy. I'm like that with any song(s) that I like though. I just listen to it over and over until I can't stand it anymore. I have an addiction to music I think. Previous victims: "Hey Ya" by OutKast and "Duality" by Slipknot.

I received some marketing package today from some software company with a compass and an invitation to visit their website If I filled out a form answering questions about my job, I would receive a free Garmin eTREX GPS. I filled the form out 3 times before it offered to give me my new toy. I wonder if its random, or based on your form responses, or some other criteria. But it is apparent that not everyone gets one, unless of course they are persistent like me. Anyway, now I have to just sit back and wait and see if it actually shows up.

For some reason today I remembered an argument I had with someone many years ago. Lets just say that time is currently 3:45. They said something about it being 4:00. "No, its 3:45" was my reply. They came back with, "Well, its 4:00 somewhere". ME: "No its not" THEM: "Yes it is, somewhere its 4:00" ME: "No, it might be 4:45 somewhere, but it's not 4:00" THEM: "Yes it is. It is 4:00 somewhere" ME: "What are you talking about? If its 3:45 now then its "something 45" everywhere...the minutes are the same, its only the hours that change as you move across time zones" THEM: "It's 4:00 somewhere" Ok, fine whatever. You want to be right so bad that you are totally abandoning all common sense.

I needed to reinstall a program on my computer at work today. I went to Add or Remove programs to uninstall it first. It took 2 hours to load the list of currently installed programs. It started at 7:40 and ended at 9:35. Nice work Bill, slap your programmers on the back for me. If my computer was making a little detour to fix something or gather some data that isn't typically needed, how about a nice little status bar or some type of warning. Two hours? Really? Yes.

My dad and I live about 150 miles apart. I called him on Fathers day only to find out that we had both gone to the same restaurant for Fathers Day lunch, in our respective towns. And we each ordered the same thing, the Fathers Day special all-you-can-eat ribs for $9.99, and we ordered the same sides, french fries and beans. Spooky.

Me and my date at the Girl Scouts Father-Daughter 50's bowling night.

In Relocate Americas top 100 places to live for 2005 two Oklahoma towns are listed in the top 5. I grew up in number 5, and now live in number 4. I guess my next home should be in Yuma, Arizona.

I have used that title for a previous post, but that was pre-blogger I think. Anyway, for 1 week I am a bachelor. My wife and kids are at the in-laws for the week. During this time I will try to get some work done around the house. Things I cant do with a 3 year old following me around. Since the house has had 2 years to settle some of the crown molding has separated and needs to be caulked and the paint touched up. There are about 10 nail holes that need to be filled and painted. The curtains need to be ironed. Yes I iron the curtains. Once a year. They are linen and a pain in the rear to iron. I do it because its much easier for me to take them down then for my petite little wife. Plus, once again, the 3 year old. Don't need him running around while the ironing board and iron are out in the middle of the room. In addition to the chores, I also use this time to catch up on my man movies. I'm a pretty nice guy and don't subject my wife to action movies when we go rent somet...

Something that has never happened to me in my entire life will soon happen. It's going to be any day now. And it's not something I'm looking forward to. Yes, to my horror, I think that some day soon, I will be forced to pay over $2.00 for a gallon of gasoline. What sucks is that the 2 closest places to fill up where some of the cheapest in the metropolitan area . But not now. Not for many months. If it gets worse I might even be forced to use an expletive. In fact I just did. Luckily you weren't here. It was a bad one. Stupid gas prices.

There are 3 high schools in the town where I now live. I tend to support the one where my kids will go starting in about 5 years. Last night that high school won the boys class 6A state championship in basketball. Unfortunately it was against my hometown high school.

Thats what my 3 year old calls Target.

I forgot I even had this. Took this shortly before construction started.

Just found this to be very typical. I thought I'd play a game of internet checkers tonight. My opponent was from France (or at least thats what the game said). Things were going along pretty quickly but then it down to 4 checkers to 2, in my favor. I finally got him cornered so that he would have to put himself into a position for me to jump him. The little weazel left the game. Typical French quitter. What a weiner.

Michael Jackson Trial Martha Stewart out of Prison Just curious how my hits will go up

Is that something guys usually say? Am I becoming a woman? Well either way I gotta get rid of some of this lard hanging around my middle.

This is is a list I compiled a few years ago of things not to do Dont turn left out of the right lane if there is a policeman watching - OOPS! Dont hold officers at bay Dont invite young boys to stay at your Neverland Ranch If you do dont fondle them and look at internet porn If you are a high school teacher (or anyone else for that matter) dont hide a video camera in the girls locker room If you are a high school teacher dont fondle and kiss a 15 year old Dont shake a baby Dont kill your classmates Dont kill your parents In fact, dont kill anyone Dont have a baby while at the prom and then throw it away Dont have a baby in your bedroom and then leave it at your neighbors back door in the cold for 2 days where it will later die Dont long for attention so bad that you strap your kids into the back seat of your car and then send it into the lake Dont kill your ex-wife and a waiter Dont blow up a building with people in it Dont send mail bombs (except maybe email bombs, those are funny) D...

We've been doing some other shopping too:
