Holiday Scruff

So as the holiday season approaches I wonder what I should do for my annual holiday facial hair experiment? Should I go clean shaven to a couple days of scruff (my norm), half goatee, full goatee, full beard, Fu-Manchu, or a mustache? Please leave comments and the one with the most votes gets to stick around till the end of December, pending Crazysahm not going to nuts over the look.

.... and how 'The Man' taunts us...

This is my belated thianksgiving blog.

As much as we all love a good Thanksgiving does any one else notice how 'The Man' likes to fuck with us this week. We all get Thursday off to stuff our faces to the point where we want to hibernate like bears. Then a large percentage of people, me included, have to work on Friday. In my case it was a half day, but still it was back to work. Some people even ventured out to shop before the sun was up and prior to going to work. To wrap it up we then get a two day reprieve prior to going back to work. From all of this I felt like it was Sunday for three blasted days, prior to it actually being Sunday.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Vivian the Imposter and other random things

So I'm bad been a few days since I posted, but it's been crazy with the wifey having to go to traffic school, The boy child having his 6 month appointment today and other random things.
Now I couldn't get off of work today (because of all kinds of whack drama) to go to the boy child's 6 month appointment, so that catalyzed this event. Bare in mind this wouldn't have happened if I had been there, and I know the wife didn't find this funny at the time. While they were waiting to get called back a drug rep, about my build and dressed like me came in and went to the back room. This did not go over well as the girl child thought daddy had just walked in and went into an area of the doctors office she couldn't follow. This prompted a melt down that rivaled the force of an atomic bomb as the daddy impostor ignored the child. How dare he do such a thing, as the world revolves around the child at least in her mind.
Then when I came home I got a brief questioning look, like are you going to ignore me like your doppelganger did earlier today. Then I heard,"Daddy!" and she an over and hugged my leg. This repeated off and on till she ran around wearing my ball cap like it was the most prized possession in the world as she got ready to have a slumber party at grandmas.
One of the greatest things about this is we don't have to watch Finding Nemo tonight. I used to love Pixar films as they are fun and entertaining, but every child I know loves the films and will watch them over and over again. I swear to accomplish this the company had to make a deal with the devil. How many movies can the company make that kids will watch till their parents want to scream "NO MORE" and gouge their eyes out?
I'm almost afraid to watch UP as it might become another movie I have nightmares about.
I haven't had reoccurring night mares like this since I worked for a bagel shop and would dream about unending lines waiting for smoothies.
To get a night off from Pixar I think I might finally watch Transformers 2 even though Mega Fox annoys me to no end. The girl is totally worthless and has no redeeming qualities, and I blame girls like her for the self esteem problems so many women have today. I pray my daughter can find good role models with the plethora of stupid girls like Megan Fox. However back to my previous point despite how she annoys me I can't say no to giant robots. After all who can say no to Optimus Prime.

full nights sleep

And the boy spawn would not sleep last night. It's almost as if he decided last night he would be predisposed to driving his mother and I crazy from lack of sleep. The routine consisted of throw a few punches nod of for a bit then repeat. I think I maybe slept in bed for a total of two hours last night. I almost debated about using the liquid green death to get him to sleep, but then he would have been in comma for 10 years and woken up next to Cluas. Also that would make me one of the most irresponsible white trash dads out there, which I am not. Best suffer through the day and hope tonight goes better, if not that is why there is a veritable cornucopia of coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks to keep my eyes open long enough to make it through the work day (excluding Rockstar, because the owner does a lot of gay bashing and that isn't cool).

The joys of working in DR

So one of the many aspects of my job is i get to preview all the whack infomercials that will be coming to a channel near you. I've seen the cleavage clip, the happy chop, the pet protector, and so many more.

Violence

Ok by no means am I a pacifist, but after having kids I find my self toning down my movie choices. I love comic books and movies based off comic books, so I watched Punisher War Zone last night. Surprisingly I actually found myself wishing for some more plot. Three years ago I would have been like awesome dude got shot and his bead blew up, now I'm like did we really need to see his head blow up?
To further this Cartoon Network was running a Looney Toons Marathon today, and I thought I grew up on these my daughter who is almost two should enjoy these. I didn't even make it through a whole cartoon, before I thought this is to much and turned the TV off and got out some crayons.
Next thing you know I'll be moving to Amish Country for good old fashioned values.

Daddy Represent

So as my wife has started following all the mommy bloggers (and one dad blogger) out there, I thought it would be fun for us to join in too, after all who doesn't like to add in their $0.02?

Also now there will be two, if I am interesting enough to gather some repeat readers. We'll just have to see if I can keep this up with working full time, starting my MBA, helping with the kids, spending time with the wifey, and waging an all out war on 'The Snuggie'
