There are times when I know without a doubt that I'm a Dad. This morning I woke up and turned on the tv for a couple minutes, I was flipping channels as I do so well. I tend to stop and watch a couple minutes of something I find interesting, I'm not really watching though, just doing something while my brain boots up for the day.
Mer walked into the room and a minute later she caught me watching this:
Ugh, how hilariously embarrassing for me. Ok, so not really embarrassing as im blogging about it. But it is rather hilarious that I didn't even notice I was watching it, Mer had to "catch" me.
Im a Dad.

New toy!
My sister Jana has an old dell that she is getting rid of. So I had her send it to me and ill get it tomorrow!!
I have this massive pile of hard drives, graphic cards and other stuff that I cant use because I dont have a tower to put it all in. I didnt want to spend much money at all on an computer because its just going to be for fun.
I plan on using it to play this game ive always wanted, Portal. The game is based on the Half life 2 engine, and was created by a group at MIT just for fun. and back when they created it they released a beta version to a few people and it leaked out and i got my hands on a copy. It was the most amazing game i'd ever played, and im not a gamer. It was really buggy, and crashed constantly, but it was a blast when it worked.
I wanted to get it when it came out, but i wasnt going to spend the 500 to build the system I need to play. so i waited.
Ill take some pics of the modifications I make to the Dell im going to name "Yana".
Im so EXCITED!!

Far Side
I added 'The Far Side of the day' to the bottom of my blog.
Personally, I think that Far Side is the most hilarious cartoon ever. I have a few of the books, and I can sit for an hour and flip though and crack up the whole time.
He just has this bizzare sense of humor that resonates with me.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

No need for speed...
So, I have a motorcycle.
Its a 2007 Triumph Scrambler, a remake of the 1964 Triumph that Steve McQueen rode in the International Six Day Trials in Erfurt, Germany. They were called 'Scrambler' races.
I would have expected myself to want a crotch rocket, but... I just don't. I'm not really that interested in fast bikes or fast cars. My scrambler will go about 95 with no problems, but I only did that once just to see, it was kinda cool, but I don't feel a need to do it all the time.
Meredith asked me a week or so ago if I had a dream car, and honestly, I don't. I have a company car that I don't have to pay for, and we have our minivan that gets the fam where we need to go. I'm happy with that. But a dream car? I guess the closest thing to a dream car would be... a VW Phaeton.
Its a nice car, looks good and its reliable.
Shouldnt I want this car?
Its kinda cool, but wouldn't ever want one. I have no desire for this kind of car or lifestyle.
Today I was out in Abilene KS working at a hospital, and I drove bast a house with this bike out front;
Ive never ridden a bike that's this fast, and I wondered if I really did like this kind of bike, but I just never knew. So I called the guy to ask if I could ride it and we met and I did.
Turns out I was right. It went fast and felt like I could die at any second. It was unstable, uncomfortable and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
Aren't guys supposed to love everything fast? I just think its odd of me. Funny thing is that it doesn't bother me, and I don't feel the need to pretend.
My buddy Josh has a Hayabusa its the fastest street legal production motorcycle out there (or so he tells me (I love parentheses, I feel like I can explain so much while in them, like im free to roam about the unconscious and drop whatever randomness on you that I feel like. All because I used the curvy line (im not that excited about using them, Its just a stunt to make you laugh dont trust anything I say while in them) I can (ok so I really do love them) say whatever (ok maybe I dont love them, but I sure can use them to their fullest potential) I feel like and not worry about making complete sense or even staying within the subject of the sentence!(I wonder If I can tell people that if sometimes they cant hear me its because im in()?)) and he takes it out all the time on the interstates around Minneapolis and hits 120mph weaving though traffic. He is absloutely out of his mind, and i have no problem telling him what I think and of course he just laughs and says he loves it.
So! Do I have a point?
Yes I do!
I like Tacos.
Cool huh?
