The Washington Redskins are having a rough time in these recent pre-season games. Last night’s game went downhill and quickly. They certainly have a lot that they have to work out before the real games start this up and coming season. They haven’t had a decent season in years. I’d like to see them impress their fans this year.

Cruising around online last night I was checking out some of the more popular game sites. I don’t play many games online but on occasion I will have a bit of time on my hands and feel the urge. You don’t see many girl games, or at least you didn’t use to. I stumbled onto a site easygirlgames.com that is chock full of girl games. I sent the link to my 10 year old niece that has her own computer and may enjoy some of the girl games that they have offered and  listed there.

I remember that there was a major push about 6 years ago in an effort to get more games that would appeal to the female population, girls in particular. I haven’t paid that much attention to it to tell you the truth but I do know that there seems to be a good effort from the gaming companies to fulfill this need.

My parents always told me that rich people were just like poor people – they all put their pants on one leg at a time.  Well, these guys put their pants on both legs at a time!

They must have had fun making this video!

My wife has been telling me that we spend too much money on our entertainment.  Naturally I got defensive about it, since I am the one who spends the most money on things like going to the movies and buying DVDs and CDs.  What I didn’t realize at the time was that she was thinking about trying to save money by switching our television service from cable service to a local tv satellite service.

She was telling me that her friend Nancy just switched to satellite because she found a good deal on www.localtv-satellite.com, and she suggested that we check it out too.  The biggest concern that I have about signing up with a service like localtv-satellite.com is regarding how many sets can be hooked up to it, and how many can watch different shows at a time.  I don’t want to have to buy or rent a lot of different receiver boxes – but if they are free it wouldn’t be so bad.  I just don’t to lose my favorite channels just to save a few dollars!

The Animal Planet has a great show that comes on each morning called “It’s Me or The Dog” Victoria Stilwater has been working with dogs for over 13 years and has helped tons of people with their dog issues. I have learned so much from this show and I wish it was on later in the evening so that more people could see it and learn from it as well.

There isn’t that many sitcoms that I enjoy these days, most are so idiotic and silly that I can’t tolerate more than 5 minutes in one sitting. But I have to say that Two And A Half Men is a great sitcom that always makes me laugh. I’m glad that it is still on the air and hope that it keeps on for a good many more years.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. Go figure it is a holiday that the majority of us don’t get the day off of work, if so you certainly don’t get paid for the time off, although if I was the boss I’d most likely consider starting that tradition. Some places give you your birthday off with pay, which should be standard across the board.

Anyway even if we have to work, most of us get off in time to tend to the neighborhood kids trick or treating and then hopefully off to a fun event at some one’s highly decorated up place with all the women dressed in their latest sexy Halloween costumes. I have been to some awesome Halloween parties and have won a few costume contests in my time. Now a days I’m more into seeing what others come up with each year.

Last year I met a great gal that came in wearing the most daring but tasteful sexy angel costumes that I’ve seen in a very long time. I got her phone number and we went out to dinner a time or two, but have lost touch at this point. Maybe I’ll meet up with her again at another Halloween party in the future. Halloween is creeping up on us in a few short months and I’m all about seeing what sexy costumes they will come out with this year.

There is still time to find a good costume to wear for this year. There are lots of websites that I’ve found online that have some really fine and unique costumes for just about any one’s taste and budget. It’s best to find an outfit that you might possibly be able to wear again at some point, like at a Renaissance Festival or some other type of event.

Almost every Friday evening, a few of my friends and I get together for some good, old fashion, quality guy time.

We have the same traditions as any other group of guys–we pick up some snacks, open a couple of beers, and then relax on the couch watching the television from best choice tv together.

It may not be completely accurate to call us typical, though, because instead of lounging around watching the big game or something like that, we like to watch movies. More specifically, chick flicks. Actually, we love to watch them! You might call them a guilty pleasure.

Take my personal favorite, Never Been Kissed, as an example. We saw it recently on satellite tv.

It’s incredibly cheesy, exceedingly unrealistic, and somehow it utterly reels you in until you’re hooked and wouldn’t be able to let go if your life depended on it. The four of us might as well have been in the stadium supporting Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) on her big night, because the dog only knows that she had all of us rooting for her from the couch!

Maybe it’s because movies like Never Been Kissed can allow us to vicariously live a life we never personally knew, or perhaps we’re all just big, masculine hopeless romantics. Whatever the reason, chick flicks with the guys is evidence enough for me that all guys have a sensitive side.

One of the things we really liked about this house that we live in is the fact that there was a gas fireplace in the living room.  I’ve had enough of the experience of burning really wood, but I love the ambiance of flames dancing in the fireplace.  There is something very soothing and hypnotic about relaxing in a chair by the fire.  I’ve always enjoyed doing that.  Many times I’ve fallen asleep on the floor in front of the fireplace! 

So having a fireplace in the house was a big plus!  We really didn’t care whether it was vented or ventless, because it is easy to buy Vented Gas Logs or Ventless Gas Logs.   Just recently we had a problem getting our logs to light, so we went online to see if we should call a repairman or just replace the logs.  We found some really fantastic prices on Peterson gas logs.  Now we’re even thinking about putting in a fireplit and Outdoor Gas Logs in our back yard.  I think it would be awesome to have a party area back there, and a fire pit would be a really nice touch.

I’m tired of iced tea. Sodas just don’t cut it any more. Beer is best but you can’t go around drinking that day in and day out right? I used to really enjoy Kool Aid when I was a kid, so I decided to pick up a few packages of the flavors that they have these days and I have to say that I’m really enjoying them, a nice change.

Next spring will be my father’s 70th birthday.  My brothers and sisters have decided that we want to surprise him with a a special surprise party and give him a gift that he has always dreamt about – a trip to Myrthle Beach.  He’s been retired for five years now, and he’s dreamt about playing on the Myrtle Beach golf courses as one of the retirement fantasies that just haven’t come to pass yet.

My wife and I have been trying to review the many different Myrtle Beach golf packages on the http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net web page to see which ones might be the best ones to get.  We all agreed to split the cost equally, but we still need to keep a close eye on the cost.  And we want to make sure that our mother has plenty to do while our father is out on the course.

We also need to figure out if any of us should accompany them, or if we should try to make it a romantic getaway for the two of them.  After all, maybe booking some spa time for our mother while our father is out on the golf course would be the perfect touch!

My brother and his wife have decided that they want to take their kids to the beach for school starts. Apparently school starts very early down where they live. The first day of school for them is in the beginning of August, while we have always had our schools start after Labor Day which of course is always in the first week of September. So time is running out and they are running into some snags in finding a good spot to travel to.

Since BP has destroyed most of the beaches on the east coast the choices have been narrowed down considerably and the word is that folks are flocking to resorts in Myrtle Beach, which I’m sure Myrtle Beach is just loving all the money that is heading their way this year. I’ve heard that Myrtle Beach has been trying hard to get more business their way so I guess they got what they were asking for, by default.

So it looks like they have been busy using the Internet to find the best Myrtle Beach hotel that they can find in such a short time frame. They have been using sites like http://avistaresort.com to find what they are looking for. Not only do they want the whole beach experience for the kids, but they want to be able to get in a game or two of golf as well. I wish them luck and hope that they have a blast before the time runs out and it’s back to school once again.

One of my favorite television shows is on The Comedy Channel, it’s called Tosh.O. He shows all kinds of outrageous videos and his commentary just really cracks me up. He is one sick puppy, but that’s all right I’ve got a sick sense of humor most of the time as well.

Tonight I got to see a bit of “America’s Got Talent” it is one of my favorite TV shows that always entertains me each season. I believe that they were looking for talent in Portland Oregon for this episode, it was a sad day for folks in that part of the country. Most of the people were buzzed off of the stage within seconds of their starting time and one guy even fell off of the stage, you can bet that he isn’t going to Los Vegas this time around!

I have a few buddies that are serving our country and have found themselves doing there time in Iraq. I’m so grateful for the Internet, it has made such a big difference to our military to be able to communicate with friends and family during their time in Hell. It’s too bad that they didn’t have email back in the day of our involvement in Vietnam. It could be that more time could have been spent on the computer instead of doing all the drugs that they so many are so well known to have done.

Anyway, I try and keep up with sending them letters and emails, it is the least that I can do for them while they are doing their part in protecting us from the bad guys. One pal, who is a US Marine sent me this YouTube video along with his latest email. It is too funny and I wanted to post it here for you to enjoy as well.

I have to admit that video game companies have really taken gaming to new heights – with games that you compete and cooperate with other people via multiple player games on the Internet. What a huge evolution from the very first Pong game that I remember buying back in the 1970′s when I was a teenager! (Now I’m showing my age, I’m sure!)

But now people are even setting up websites where you can Buy WoW Accounts to get a jump start on your game and Sell Aion Accounts to cash in on your expertise. Who would’ve thought that you could actually make money legally playing video games that didn’t involve gambling! I’m curious to see what the video gaming companies come up with next!  It should be interesting, that is for sure!

I’ve always been a fan of Monty Python’s. This is a clip I’ve never seen before – funny!

This video that is showing polar bears playing with huskies makes me wonder why people can’t get along better.

I’ve really been surprised by how many of my friends and co-workers have been following the World Cup Soccer games this week. One of my co-workers even took the entire week off as vacation so he could stay home and watch the games! I’ve never been a big fan of watching soccer, but I used to enjoy playing it when I was in school.

I know that there has been a lot of effort to bring more popularity of soccer in the USA, but when I see all of the violence and riots that happen overseas at the games, I have to wonder if we really can deal with it! We don’t need more of that, do we?

It really has only been recently that I started watching youtube videos. I really thought that there really wasn’t that much on there that I would enjoy. Boy was I wrong! I was browsing Youtube, looking for a little entertainment, and stumbled upon some Mario Brothers videos. Some were lame, I must admit, but this one that I just watched is really funny! I understand that it took an award in 2007 from youtube. I’m not surprised – I hope you enjoy it!
