So that's the real you....

And you couldn't tell me this before I booked my plane ticket?!?!?!

Ok, so it's official. Part of my vacation is "ruined". Not that I didn't sort of expect it, but still I'm a little peeved.

Let me explain. As everyone knows I have been planning my California vacation for quite some time. 3 months to be exact. It is going to be fun and relaxing at the same time. I was going to see family I haven't seen in 20 years and some friends as well. I was even going to meet some new ones that I had met via Myspace. And from the get go, I had been very open with what my plans were. I mean, I friggin wrote a blog about it for the world to see for crying out loud.

Well anyway, last night I received a sort of bombshell.

The friend I was going to hang with in San Luis Obispo, has turned out to be a fake. Complete from head to toe. The person I was going to see was supposed to be a single, 25 yr old female with a kid (which didn't bother me). She even told me AS I WAS PLANNING MY VACATION that she couldn't wait to see me.

So she calls me last night, and begins to tell me (in not so many words) "Hey JP I'm a fraud. Everything I told you was a lie. I am a sad person that has to make up a story about who I am because I have no life, I am unhappy, and I need some serious help." DAMN right you do!

So it turns out, that while she is 25, she has 2 kids, doesn't live anywhere near where she said she did, and more importantly is not single.

Oh well, it's a damn good thing I didn't have too much invested in her and that I wasn't going to just see her. Now I need to just find things to do fill those days that were going to be spent with her.

Damnit! Why couldn't Imogen's Mom come with me?!

Friday's Trash

My Weekly installments of White Trash Viewings.

This week, I've a couple of sights that I could tell you about.

I've seen the 300 pound woman wearing a tube top smaller with less material than I have in my socks.
I've seen the teenage dirty blond girl that flirts with anything with a penis.
I've been to the house that permeates of pet dander from the second you open the door.
And then there was JOSE OFFERMAN (don't say it, color really has nothing to do with someone being white trash).

But this week, I am once again going with a humorous little water ink delight that I found.

Next week I promise to go back to human beings.

A Tattoo? ME?!

You Should Get An All Over Tattoo

Outrageous and funky
Because you should never have to choose just one tattoo


I guess I better get started on my tattoos then.

And the Worst Person in the World Award goes to...

JOSE OFFERMAN
Here is a real reason for permanent banishment from baseball.

So many people have been up in arms about steroids in sports. They are illegal, yes, and I am no way condoning the use of them in any sport. But what I think is worse than injecting something to bulk you up into your body is using a solid peace of equipment against someone that is defenseless.

Up until yesterday, I never thought it would ever be a problem.

Thank you Jose Offerman for turning yourself into a formerly respected Major League Baseball player to a villain. Thank you for being another sports figured turned to soon to be felon. I hope you get all that you deserve for what you did, and I am not a judgmental, vengeful person.

I hope that the next diamond you see, are the ones you are selling to pay off the civil lawsuit you are facing. I hope you realize that you should NEVER EVER participate in another baseball, softball, or any organized sport again.

What kind of man takes a bat to someone. Yes you got hit by a pitch, but that is part of the game. Ball players expect it from time to time. But NO ONE ever expects to see a player coming at them with a bat, much less getting that bat swung at them.



Good Bye Jose, it was nice knowing you. Good riddance.

The Turn of a New Decade

Just cause I'm 30 doesn't mean I'm over the hill.


That is right. Today is my 30th birthday. I still feel like I am 20 and sometimes act like I'm 17, but I am 30. And for me, life can only get better.

When The New Year started, I told myself that this year would be the best I've ever had, and so far it has.

As I begin to celebrate my 30th year of life (I'm starting by taking the day off from work), I start to look back at the many things I have accomplished so far.

To begin... I have traveled the world many times over. None of them because I was in the military (I love the military so don't think that is a knock on them). I've been to the Caribbean 4 times. Traveled to half of the 50 of the States, lived in 4 of them. I've been to Paris, France and I've been to Mexico.

I've been married and divorced. I've become a proud uncle twice. I've got great friends that will always be there for me and a family that is probably the most amazing that there is. If you have heard stories of the hard times that I had, I was probably only 18 and just mad cause I thought I knew better than anyone.

I'm an accomplished softball and tennis player, and am getting ready to start adult kickball.

I've had the same job for 10 years and am making a decent living with it. I have taken on a second job for extra cash, but I really don't need to.

And finally as I get ready to end this blog, I think the most important aspect of them all starts with this. I have my family, I have my friends, I have my job, I have my GOD. And all of these combined together make me very happy. Happier than I have ever been in my life.----------------
