All About Bentley

This is the message I got today on my cell phone voice mail in reference to my outgoing message: "You absolutely sound nuts on your message." It was a wrong number. Thanks lady.

Thats the quantity of hamburgers and hotdogs I had for dinner tonight. We attended a thank-you cookout for our work in a program at our church. Its an annual event. But this year few families showed up and there was lots of food left over. So I tried to help take up the slack. I'm regretting it now. On a totally unrelated note, I am really confused why I am having trouble losing weight lately. Very strange.

I guess it is time to reveal the mysterious secrets surrounding this website. For years I have labored to hide a centuries old truth concerning my family. But now, the time has come to let to truth be known. It has really been there all along, hidden right in front of you, but you never noticed. But today is the day. Today the world finds out that... All About Bentley is really an anagram for: "Abalone Butt Yell" or was it "Eyeball Butt Loan" and we cant forget "Ballet Bounty Ale" or "Telltale Buoy Ban"

Or so they say. Haven't really read the details yet. But while I do, enjoy some music: Purple Haze (5 minutes later). Oh I see, you have to create an account first. Only asked my name and email address though. Still pretty cool I guess.

With the recent news that ABC will be moving "Grey's Anatomy" to Thursday nights, I now have quite a problem on my hands: Three of my favorite shows will be on at the same time. First was "CSI" on CBS. That was fine, thats what I watched Thursdays at 8 central. Then came "My Name is Earl" and "The Office" on NBC. Still no problem, I just DVR'd both of them and watched one live, and the other later. But now ABC is moving Grey to Thursdays at the same time.... my DVR only has 2 tuners, so I can only record/watch 2 shows at once. I might have to get a second DVR for the bedroom.

It's an interesting question. I'm not referring to the hand-holding, free-love, save-the-planet, kumbaya singing, nurturing, Stuart Smalley self love. I mean, if somehow, I was cloned, or had a long lost identical twin, and I met myself and hung out with myself....would I like myself? Those that know me, and I dont mean have a class with me at church, or have worked on a project with me at work.....those that really know me, know I like nothing more than stupid jokes, bad puns, hearing a phrase and singing it to a tune of a popular song, dumb, goofy, weird, silliness. And it seems that most people I know put up with it, maybe even find me humorous. I personally find myself hilarious, but I know it's an acquired taste. But if I met myself, would I think I was funny. I fear I might just think I'm a big dork.

Update to my previous post where I stated my Kitten Cannon high score. My new score is now 2872. This was accomplished by jamming a floppy disk into the keyboard to hold down the spacebar. If you hold down the spacebar the game runs in a loop shooting kitten after kitten. Then I left for the day, letting it continue to run for about 17 hours unattended. When I came back in the next morning, there was my high score. Or the floppies. Really it should get the credit.

Someone please put me out of my misery! I'm attending a class this week in Dallas for some computer software I already know how to use. Except this is the new and improved version. Problem is they teach the class as if you've never used the software before, and rightfully so because many of the people in the class have never used it. But those of us who have, we're bored out of our minds. We're turning to vegetables. We might need to hire a nurse to walk around and wipe the drool from our mouths. According to the schedule though, we might get into some new and/or improved features tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But I might take my pillow with me, just in case. On a related note, I scored 1855 on Kitten Cannon. Did I say related? I mean non-related....I was playing on my own time of course...really I was.

I'm in Dallas this week taking a class for work. While the idea of relaxing in a hotel room for 4 days, and eating every meal out sounds like a good thing, it sure gets old fast. I'm already looking forward to getting back home, and it's only Monday. And speaking of dining out, so far I've had 2 burgers, 2 orders of fries, a chocolate shake, and an oatmeal cream pie. So its not like I'm having extravagant meals. I'm eating like a college student...Unfortunately I have the body of a middle aged man. Maybe tonight I'll opt for a more grown-up meal; maybe some steak, or chicken. And of course some awesome dessert, or maybe I'll stop by Starbucks. I think that finally, this weekend, the first weekend in a long long time, we have nothing scheduled. We can sleep in on Saturday, and get a nice nap in on Sunday after church. It's been months since we just came home from church and took a break. I'm really looking forward to it.
