Jelly Milkshake ????

Quick side story, some my accuse this whole entire blog as one massive side story but those people are just jealous, anyway, I was at Shaw's and i was getting my essentials, to be more specific i was getting a squeeze bottle of jelly, and while i was checking out, the bag man came over to bag my stuff, and he says "oh is this a syrup to make a drink with milk" REALLY GUY !!! tell me one person who would ever in their right mind drink a jelly milk drink. It is not a new product, and by working as a bag man, you would think he would have seen someone buying a squeeze bottle of jelly. This guy seemed pretty normal for all accounts based on the way he acted and what he said. I had a squeeze bottle of ketchup too, why didn't he ask if that was a breakfast mix or something. I should have said yeah and see that deli turkey, I'm going to blend that up and make a turkey smoothie. I hate that Shaw's anyway because it is so small, but I'm almost scared to go back in there now. It just teaches you to not be lazy, if I was not lazy I would never had to have that interaction and frankly i think i would have been better off, but in the end i did get a pretty good story, and I could not make this up. I was floored by it, the worst part was the cashier was not even phased by it, i wonder if this guy goes around and says weird things like that all the time. Ok time to end this i just heard the microwave beep, my warm cup of jelly milk is ready. Drink Up !!

Smelly People

There are few things in the world that I find more annoying than people that smell, but more specifically people that smell and dont realize it because they get all up in your business. This whole rant is sparked by me yesterday being at the gym on the elliptical, and there were plenty of them but this guy just walked into the gym and sure enough got on the one directly next to me. I am very conscience of buffers but this guy seemed foreign, so i can give him a pass on that. I could see if he was there already and smelled but he smelled when he walked into the gym. I was already well into mine so stopping was not really an option, the only way you can get out of it is when you get on second and realize right away and then quickly get off and go to a new one. Just pretend the headphone socket or something does not work. I dont want to make them feel bad, because if im on there working up a sweat im sure i dont smell like roses and there have been times where someone did that to me, but at least i didnt smell like a diaper when i walked in. The same thing goes for people on the T, i understand that on the T it is hard to get space, but there is nothing worse than when people reek on the t, and they always want to reach up and grab the highest part possible on the bar and their neitherreigons of their arms are exposed to put it nicely. That reminds me, one time me and the kellster were on a T and there was a commonly seen Boston bum on there and he smelled so bad that no one was sitting within 5 rows of him, we got on saw open seats and sat down, then smelled and realized why they were open and got up, people were covering their mouths with their shirts. It was pretty bad.

Buffer zones should apply for all circumstances when possible. If there are multiple elliptical open then dont take one next to someone who is already on one. Same goes for urinals for any place outside of a ballgame, if you are at a sporting event then all buffer rules go out the window. If you sit down at McDonald's or the movie theatre you dont sit next to a stranger if you can help it. So why not apply that logic all over the place? Seems to make sense to me. But i guess i am just more sensible than most.

I love when old people at the gym work out in non work out attire, there are plenty of guys that work out in cargo shorts or collared shirts and cargo shorts. There is one older woman that goes to the downtown crossing gym she works out in a sweater and jeans, she probably just leaves and continues on with her day without changing. It has to be an age thing because you dont really see younger people doing that. There has to be something that happens because you never see anyone wearing regular clothes working out that hard, you always see them on the weight machines lifting 10 lbs, I wonder if there is a mental thing of not working hard because they are not wearing workout clothes, if you have on shorts and a t shirt i wonder if that makes you work harder. That brings me to another issue the people that overdress for the gym, this is the guy with the workout gloves, the mesh athletic shirt, ankles tapped, the weight lifting belt, the arm wrap for his ipod, the headband, the little notebook for all his lifts, the giagantic water bottle for his protien shake and the bandana. It takes him more time to get ready than it does for me to workout, this is they guy that grunts as he lifts and walks around between sets so everyone can see him. Good job guy you look like an athlete and you grunt now i wonder how much your manhood shrunk from the steroids.

I think i'll end it here, all this work out talk makes me want to go wor... just kidding im going to grab a bag of cheetos, at least its the 100 calorie variety.

My Run-Ins with Celebrities

****Disclaimers***** These are b,c,d etc list celebrities, mostly sports related. Also these are not shows or anywhere that they are supposed to be, these are just random run-ins.

In no particular order.

Glen Big-Baby Davis

Location - downtown crossing, he was walking down the street with a hoodie over his head as to not be discovered by the public, one problem you are 6'8 and rather large, he ducked into starbucks and i followed and shook his hand, only because others chased him and got his autograph, he was really nice to the kids though.

Tony Allen

Location - The Pru, saw him with his entourage he left the pru and ducked into a heavily tinted escalade, im shocked he didnt injure himself going down the escalator. No one really recognized him, even if they did there probably would not be nice things said about him.

Bob Vila

Location - Logan. The true Home Improvement king, not much fan fare around bobby, he basically went on his way with no problems shocking. I was only about 10 so it was kinda cool seeing someone that was on one of my favorite shows in Home Improvement.

Brian Daubach

Location - The Baseball Tavern, this is one of my personal favorite encounters, working the door i actually got to talk to dauber, he was partially recognized by people, more so people came up to me after he left and said " was that daubach". He stayed with the owner and got free beers all night, he went home with a cougar, and came back an hour later with a cheeky smile. The owner has a apartment right near the tavern, and rumor had it that he brought her back there and made sweet sweet love then came back only to leave at the end of the night with someone else, gotta love dauber.

Lou Merloni

Location - The Copley Mall - he was being forced to go shopping with his wife it looked like. He became much more recognizable after his short playing career as a Red Sox media member.

Mike Lowell

Location- Outside a hotel in downtown.
I walked by mickey dubbs, and he is a monster in person, I didnt want to bother him since he seemed busy talking to someone in a suit, probably an agent.

Mike Timlin- Location walking near McDonalds near Fenway Park - Me and John saw him hours before a Red Sox game, he is a true tower of a man, much bigger than he looked on TV, we didn't bother him since he probably gets that all the time.

Craig Sager, Chip Carey, Buck Martinez.

Location- The Baseball Tavern - Craig and his purple suit were in all its glory that night, him and buck were quite the ladies man, whereas boring ass chip carey left early. His suits look bad on TV in person they are 56x as bad. Buck Martinez is about 5 foot 1.

Sean Mcdonough

Location- The Baseball Tavern - He was so drunk and sloppily dancing all over the place with a beat red face.

Weei Personalities. Butch Stearns, Mike Adams Steve Burton and Pete Shepherd. This was much more enjoyable to me as it would be to others, I actually saw the sweater vested burton at target really nice guy.

Tim Fox - former Pats Player

Location- Baseball Tavern - nothing to really say about this guy.

Tom Caron

Location- Running across mass ave heading to starbucks, we saw him and followed him. He has the world.s biggest head, and a can of moose in his back pocket, typical TV personality.

Kendrick Perkins

Location- the elevator during monster jam, the elevator attendant would not let him get on which was really funny, Perkins didnt say "do you know who i am" but you can tell he was thinking it.

Greg Dickerson

Location- Mass Pike - he wizzed by me on the pike with his little BMW and his little bluetooth.

Manny

Location- Driving near cambridge, we followed him for a while in his really nice mercedes convertable.

Bob Saget

Location- Hampton Beach parking lot and all the way back to Boston.
Me and John saw him in the parking lot, he was talking to people and we basically followed his car all the way back to boston making full house jokes.

700 Dollars Won if you followed me.

Creepy Guy Returned

If you read previous posts you would have read about the creepy guy that came and fixed my computer at work. Well sadly he came back yesterday to fix my computer, he had to install a new mother board. I didn't think it was possible but he even got more creepy. I have to escort him through the building due to security reasons, so i basically sat there while he put in the new mother board. I know it sounds exciting but it really really isn't. He started off by talking about how tired he was and that he needed more caffeine which is normal enough, he quickly went on to explain how his back hurt, and asked if i knew that people have 2 separate vertebrae in their tailbone and that they fuse together at some point in your development. He went on to explain that his somehow didn't and that he should be more flexible but the doctors told him that he wouldn't be. With all this excitement i managed to get a nerf ball off my managers desk to play with while i sat there and watched him unscrew 45424 little bolts on the inside of the computer. He made a big deal about this, i would say strange behavior but with him i wouldn't know what is considered strange for him. If you need a reminder he is 5'4 red hair, very high squeaking voice and i am almost positive he wore the same cheap Steve and Barry's sweater that he had on last time. Any way i put down the nerf ball and picked up a nerf football and out of no where and about 10 octaves louder that necessary he shouted out " you changed balls" causing everyone with in 15 cubes of me to stand and look. At this point everyone around me hates that fact that he is back since he was the butt of so many jokes last time he left.

It gets weirder actually, he was fascinated with the nerf balls and proceeded to tell me that he plays dungeons and dragons, and that his dungeon master sometimes throws balls at them when they get goofy. At this point i swear you could hear a pin drop until i heard everyone around my typing, they were all im'ing people to make fun of this guy, and the fact that he laughs awkwardly after every sentence he says. There are many shocking moments in history but the fact that this guy said he plays dungeons and dragons is probably the least shocking moment since Lance Bass admitted that he boards the dude train. This whole process of changing the motherboard took about 65 mins too long for my liking. If my computer breaks again i might just do everything by hand and sent mail through the post office instead of email just to avoid a possible interaction with this guy again.

I am basically at his mercy though, he could get mad at me and intentionally screw up and i would be shit out of luck as it had already been a week plus since i had my old computer back and i was very sick of cube hopping. There are many people that no matter how annoying they are you cant really say anything mean cuz they could screw you over, some examples are barber, mechanic, anyone handling your deli meats and waitresses since they could spit in your food. If i ever seen Barry J Wilkins Jr again it will be too soon.

P.S. Congrats to Viola and Jeff on the birth of Mae !!

WAAAY Overdue Rant

Sorry for the lack of non-football posts, but if you have been reading and following my picks you should be thanking me for the money i have won you, go ahead thank me , I'm waiting..... ok moving on you bunch of ingrates.


One thing that i have noticed lately, and i am guilty my self, is getting personally offended when someone hasn't seen a movie you like, especially if it is an uber popular one. Over the years i have personally pissed off many a person by admitting that i have not seen Star Wars, you would think everyone i know is a third cousin of the director or something. I have done this recently when the kellster has admitted to not seeing Shawshank Redemption which is shameful, see i cant even type this without doing it. Watch next time you are in a discussion and you admit to not seeing a movie, the other person will say "REALLY" with an astonished look on their face. I don't see why people get so protective of the movies they like, they feel if they like it, then you must like it too, which could lead to overhypage, but that is a topic for another post. I love when the person proclaims you must immediately go rent said movie or stop and drop everything you are doing and go ahead and see that film. Actually while we are here lets tackle overhypage. I'm not talking about endless commercials on television, have you heard there is a new Vince Vaughn movie coming out about couples and going on a retreat???? cuz i sure as heck have. Im talking about word of mouth overhypage. If you talk up a new television program or movie and say statements like "the funniest movie ever" the person goes into the movie already expecting the best movie ever chances are it wont live up to it. Personally i love when i got to a movie and am surprised when i come out as to how good it was. I would much rather have that than go in there with the expectation of laughing my ass off and only kind of laughing my ass off because it always leaves you feeling like it should have been better. That is why when i tell people what i thought of a movie especially a comedy i try and not over sell the movie. Same goes for a lot of things like when someone suggests a restaurants, if you expect the best meal ever chances are it will not live up to expectations, where as you have a great meal at a different place you feel like you have discovered a hidden gem.

This feels great typing this much, at work i have been cube hopping basically sitting where ever people are out because my computer broke over a week ago and instead of giving me a new one, us bank being the cheapo place it is, has to send out technicians out to see if they can fix the problem. A week later and i still am using others computers, the main place i go is to my neighbors cube who is on part time hours right now, her keyboard is from the 1980s i hate it, the space bar sucks, it sticks or you really have to push down hard on it for it to work, I hate typing on it. Speaking of computers i should be glad i am alive, the guy they sent out to fix it is probably the most creepy guy i have ever met. He is about 45 5 foot 4, red hair and he mentioned within 5 minutes of meeting him that he was a soldier. I was thinking there is no way i would feel safe if he was protecting the fridge on the biggest loser ranch after the cameras were turned off never mind the county. I can only hope he was Canadian. He is one of these people that laugh after every sentence no matter if there was a joke or not. We had the most awkward conversation, at one point he turned to me and said you have a good sense of humor, if this a movie or something there would have been creepy music playing in the background to signify that he was a stalker and i was a goner. Long story short he failed to fix the problem so he had to order a mother board, that is supposed to come tomorrow, so hopefully i make it home tomorrow without being kidnapped and duct taped in this computer geek's mother's basement. Oh yeah the worst part is when he got there he asked me for a "leave behind document" i printed what i was emailed but he said he was supposed to sign a leave behind documnment and that this paper was not a leave behind document and that his only instructions were to have a leave behind document, needless to say he say the words leave behind document 454 times in a 12 min span and if he said it one more time i would have flipped and stapled the leave behind document to his forehead while screaming "how do you like this leave behind document" just typing this story makes me angry. He managed to become the quickest inside joke of my groups history, can not wait to see what he has in store for me tomorrow. Just goes to show most computer guys are weird.

I was doing laundry in our basement and of coarse there was a dryer that still had clothes in it, I always feel so awkward moving peoples clothes out, especially if they are girls clothes. Thankfully i have never been caught, that would be weird if someone walked downstairs and I'm sitting there touching their underwear. Too bad there was not some sort of penalty for waiting too long to remove your clothes, now that most places take cards now instead of quarters there should be some sort of way to overcharge. Poor quarter, that used to be the most important coin now is being slowly phased out like the worthless penny, dime and nickle. Most laundry machines take cards now, most parking meters have a central pay station you use. The quarter used to be all big and bad bossing around the other coins, now he is back down to reality, like any cartoon/ show when someone has power they abuse it and during the episode they usually lose said power and are back down to the ranks of the people they pissed off and begs for them to be friends again, poor George Washington, he was above all now hes as useless as tits on a bull, thanks dad for that expression. Yeah i know that was probably the most random tangent but i liked it and that's all that matters you feel me?

How come people become so nosy in the supermarket? if you watch next time you will see that when a person walks by a carriage they will look in and judge the person on what they have. If you have fruits and veggies then the person thinks you are a healthy person, that is why you should pick up random items like tampons or anything embarrassing and put them in the cart of a person when they are not looking, when they get to the checkout counter they will be embarrassed. Even though you don't care about the 15 year old pimple covered teenage that is ringing you up, i bet you must feel the need to explain to them that the baby ex-lax is not for you, or that adult diapers got in there by some accident. It is a hard prank to pull off because you gotta time it right but big payoffs. payoffs sounds like playoffs which reminds me the sox playoff game is starting soon so i must go watch.

thanks so much bloggers its been a thin slice of heaven
