All About Bentley

I just realized that with the change of presidents, my streak of seeing the current president in person has come to an end. It wasn't much of a streak, I saw George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton, but never W. Senior was campaigning and I saw him at OC . And once I was in DC and standing outside the back fence of the white house and saw Clinton jogging. But I never had the opportunity to see George Jr. So, the streak ends at two.

Over the course of the last few days, my birthday has reminded me of the difference between my life now and my life one year ago. It's not a monumental difference, but last year on my birthday I found out I was going to be outsourced. Not great news, especially on what is supposed to be a happy day. That triggered a memory of another bad birthday. I was around 12 or so, and I was sick on my birthday. My mom made me a chocolate cake, but after blowing out the candles I declined a piece because I didn't feel up to eating anything. That continued for a few days. Finally I was feeling better and was looking forward to eating some cake. What's that you say...it's all gone? Ah man. OK two bad birthdays doesn't really qualify for "A history of horrible birthdays" but that title was catchy.

So you are the 44th president of The United States. A country built on freedom of religion and sound biblical doctrine. You are now considered the most powerful man in the world. Please don't screw up our country.

Do you have a high-speed internet router....one of those wonderful devices that lets you access the internet at home from your laptop without being tied down to the desk? We do. It's a Linksys wrt54g. I got it for my birthday about 3 or 4 years ago, and have loved the thing. Ironically on my birthday this year it decided it didn't want to work anymore. You could see its configuration web page, it would give you an IP address...but it wouldn't hook you up to the internet. For some reason it wasn't getting an IP from the cable modem. I figured I could flash the firmware with the same or even a newer version and it would return to normal. Didn't work. Then I thought I would try an older version. Well that pretty much killed it. When you went to the configuration page, it was there, but it was all messed up. And that killed the link to the page that let you flash the firmware. But, being the super genius that I am, I looked through my internet history,found what the fla...

Happy Birthday to me. yay.

Happy New Year everyone! Now let's get busy breaking those resolutions!

I was sitting here just now trying to remember all of the nice things I got for Christmas this year and so I thought I would write them down. I'm sure I've forgotten something, and a few items I left off the list on purpose. From my Wife and Kids: Black Jacket 2 Dress Shirts 1 pair of jeans Black Warm up pants Cologne Meat thermometer for my grill 6 cell Mag Lite Movie - The Dark Knight Movie - I Am Legend Movie - Uncle Buck The Office - Season 4 The Dark Knight Calendar 20lb Weight Tiger Woods Golf 2009 for the Wii Wii Fit (for the whole family, not just me) 1 Big Hershey Special Dark Candy Bar Teriyaki Beef Jerky From my My Parents: Dremel Tool Goggles to use with Dremel Tool Gloves Striped Long Sleeved T-Shirt 2009 Budweiser Collectors Stein (I don't drink but I collect steins) From my My Sister: Fleece Sleep Pants with Smiley Faces on them From my My In-Laws: Digital Photo Frame Black Warm up pants $75 From no one iPhone Thanks everyone, and Merry Christmas to me.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you are filled with joy and peace. And food.

Hey does anyone want to buy me an iPhone and pay for the data plan? Surely there's some generous person out there that wants to bring some joy into the life of someone less privileged than themselves. If that person is you I can help you fill the void in your life with a little cheerful giving. Giving being on your side of course, and the receiving on mine. So just run down to your nearest Apple store and grab one up, prepay for oh...10 years of service or so(honestly I dont think you can do that but it helps the story) and then send the phone my way. Your payment will be a lifetime of glad tidings.

I know it's a little flaky having it snow on the web page, but it'S NO joke. Do you get my drift? What, you don't like these jokes? Are you giving me the cold shoulder? I thought these were funny, I figured they would sleigh you. Well you can just take a chill pill. Give me a break here, I'm working alone. Snow man is an island. You should congradulate me for my effort. "Freeze a jolly good fellow.." Ok that's enough.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Now, lets eat!

Sorry cousin Gerald.

We were watching the new show "Twins, Twins and Sextuplets" the other night. It's about a family that has 10 kids. Zane came in the room and asked about it: Zane: "What's this show?" Me: "It's some show about a family with 10 kids" Zane: "Whats that other show with all the kids that aren't twins? How many do they have?" Me: "That one about the Duggars ? They have 17 kids." Zane: (Spins around and yells at the family on TV with 10 kids) "IN YOUR FACE, 10!" (oh by the way, you might be wondering about the time I posted this... its right down here \/...yeah i can't sleep)

It's my lunch hour and I'm bored so I was looking over old posts in my blog. I can't believe it's already been 2 years since we bought our current van . I wish it still looked that nice. It's usually always dirty and about a year ago someone put a big ding in the right front wheel well. And then this summer I opened the passenger door and slammed it into this wooden sign so now there's a big white smudge on it that I cant get out. We were hoping to keep this car for a very long time but at this rate it's going to be pretty ugly in no time. I'm planning on putting up Christmas lights this weekend so be sure and look for pictures of the house. Or you could just go back and look at the posts for the last couple years because it looks exactly the same every year . OK that's not really a picture of my house. If only I was that lucky.

That's it, just "Brrrrrr". You took the time to stop in and read my blog and all I'm giving you is "Brrrrrr". I'm sorry but I'm cold.

This time no one sent me the questions to answer, I just saw them on Chads page and I'm bored so I thought I'd answer them since most of them are different from the last list: 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My middle name, London, is my moms maiden name. 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Probably at my nieces funeral. 3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING Not really, that's why I type everything 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey 5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Yes 6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? I hope so, I crack myself up so I'd probably be a lot of fun to be with 7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yes. And sometimes people don't get it (which is referred to as falling in to a "sar chasm") 8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS They were there the last time I checked. 9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Probably 10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CEREAL? Cocoa pebbles. But just a small bowl at a time so they stay crunchy. 11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN Y...
