my new haircut is ok

Astros game tonight. I wanted to wear my blue shirt tonight but they're playing the Dodgers. Would it be dishonorable of me to wear it anyways but still wear my Astros hat even though I know they're playing the Dodgers? If someone were to say something I would just tell them all my other clothes were dirty. Then that would be a lie because I did laundry last night. My situation I have here is beating me up inside. It would probably be best to paint my on my chest the words "Go Team" in black letters.

Summer Beach Trip 2008 is Thursday. I wish there were flags to put on my windows so everyone would know where I'm going. Maybe I'll just write all over my windows with that white stuff. "Beach or Bust." "Summer Beach Trip 2008." "Matt #21." That should be enough.

Got a new haircut on Saturday. I don't think I have ever looked any better in my life than I do right now. Actually it's just an ok haircut. I try to fool myself but there is a mirror next to my desk.

the law of the land can't contain me

Today I wanted to be a good law abiding citizen. No one ever told me it was going to be so hard. Driving the speed limit isn't an easy. Ok, truthfully I wasn't going the speed limit but roughly 5-10 mph over. But still, that wasn't easy in this traffic. Especially with people passing me like I was standing still and spitting on me. Yeah, someone spit on my windshield. Some rather large peon driving an over sized milk truck spit on my windshield. Just because I was going 7 over the limit doesn't mean you have spit on me. I clean my car/truck/suv, drive the speed limit, sort of, and this is the thanks I get? I'm just happy I have a windshield.

Symphony in the park tonight. If it's half as good as it was last weekend I'll show up on time this go around.

I had some tomato basil soup last night and it was truly a party in the mouth. A very formal, wearing a tux kind of party. If I could eat that stuff everyday I would. More than likely for breakfast, lunch, dinner and 4th meal.

working for the weekend

I worked 11 hours yesterday. No one else has as much endurance as me. Someone should probably give me an award for breaking the previous record for total hours worked in one day. This major achievement was done on little food, little sleep and pure Matt will power. I fee like a champion.

My Xbox broke the other day. I have played an average of 2 hours per week since mid October. I feel lost without it now. There is a blank spot under the TV with just ugly wires hanging out. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but I plan on blaming the broken video game system on the roommate's new TV. Ever since the larger upgrade nothing has worked correctly. I feel like breaking something now. Maybe I'll tie knots in all his shoe strings.

I did nothing last night and it was great. Tonight is Fiesta Night 2008 in my apartment. 58 people were invited and I expect 2 to show up. That number also is including me.

from my view point

After I left the game last night, traffic turned into a nightmare. A nightmare full of WWE fans. I knew they were fans of the fake because they were all walking out of the Toyota Center with their chests blown up and humongous gold belts across their shoulder. Then I saw the truck that said WWE.

I observed a grown man hitting on a woman last night at the game. He came to watch the Astros, she came for the Rangers. 5th inning she was wearing his Astros hat, he was booing umpire calls that were in favor of the Astros. 6th and 7th innings they were no where to be seen. Top of the 8th they return together and she was still wearing the Astros hat and he cheered for both teams. Ballgame! she left with his hat, he chased her down.

I got to work super early this morning and it started to rain. My umbrella is very small and my pants still got wet. I considered calling in sick but I continued my unsatisfying walk through the parking lot to my building.

Some peon just emailed me, "Could you send a pic of the ent center." I replied, "Could you use proper English?"

what my plans are, just incase

If my car ever broke down in front of an adult store and I needed to use their phone but they wouldn't let me unless I bought something, I would buy edible undies. Then I would call for help and also let them know I have a snack so there would be no need for a rush.

As I was eating lunch, The Girl Who Doesn't Like Me Laughing turned around and saw me trying to push too many chips into my mouth. She always makes me feel like an underachiever.

Astros game tonight. They're giving away free t-shirts tonight to the first 10,000 fans. If I don't get one I'll pay someone for theirs. I also plan on buying a $9 coke so I'll get another one of those Astros collector cups. They make everything taste better. The ice cream in the helmet is a ripoff.

peanut oil makes concrete floors slick

I started the day off on the wrong foot. Tried to be somewhat healthier and bought "natural" peanut butter for my daily lunch pb&j sandwich. Opening the new jar of "natural" peanut butter turned out to be a disaster. I might have turned the jar sideways when trying to open it but you can't fault me for that. The lid was on tight. There must have been 3 tablespoons of peanut oil on the top. So of course, it goes all over my left shoe and pant leg. I really wish I would have screamed, but I didn't. Considering my options, I opted to continue making the lunch since it wasn't going to fix itself. Then I changed pants. The khakis went straight to the dirty clothes bin now which was total disappointment since I didn't even get to wear them once since the last wash. This has now put me in a terrible mood and I feel like blaming someone, anyone. If you would consider being blamed please email me before COB tomorrow. I've always wanted to use COB but have never felt it necessary until now.

Mandatory overtime kicks in today. I'm going to have to put it on hold though. Going to the Astros game tomorrow evening. I bought a new hat just for this occasion. It's dark blue.

HD television is slightly better than regular cable viewing. I would recommend it to anyone who wears contacts or glasses or has considered wearing contacts or glasses. For the record, I don't wear contacts but I know people who do and they like HD tv better.

taco meat

Made tacos last night with the anything that was present in the fridge. I had no cheese, lettuce, or tomatoes, just taco meat. If anyone else would have made them they probably would have only been fair. Mine were excellent, sort of. I think I'll go shopping today and try again tonight.

There was nothing good on TV last night and the Astros got beat again. They stink.

"That's Nasty" is back on Baseball Tonight. I am rejoicing on the inside.

Big Boss is enforcing mandatory overtime for me starting next week. Again, I am rejoicing on the inside. He told me the maximum I can put in is 60 hours a week and I am to work on nothing else except my secret project. Talks have even resurfaced about a temp peon working under me. So once again I requested a sorority sister from a local college. They're thinking of a grandma instead.
