OMG...

It's hard to believe that so many public figures have passed on this week! Geez... I sincerely hope that to all the folks who have passed on are now at peace, especially Michael Jackson. He was such an icon during my childhood so his death was sooo shocking and as of today finding out Billy Mays passed as well??? Infomercials are gonna be very empty for a while until they find the next big pitchman.

This further proves my thought recently that this week has been the cruddiest week ever!!!

Twitter has taken over my life...

Damn you Twitter!!!

Holy crap it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess the main reason is just being so darn tired from working... But another reason is just being so engulfed in this Twitter thing. Hard to believe that I originally joined Twitter to get some updates from Sara Bareilles... LOL Now I pretty much twit or tweet (whatever the hell they call it...lol) everyday. I even managed to get an app for my iPhone that's how I roll everyday... Oh man, oh man... It's just a horrible day when I don't Twit, I feel like I'm neglecting my responsibilities... Anyway if you wanna follow a brotha hit up my Twitter

Okay... So I TOTALLY Got Sick...

Man I HATE being sick... Nothing worse in my opinion, actually thinking about it yes there is a worse thing.... Still having a wicked chest cough after you're allegedly "done" with your sickness!!!

So it started on Friday, I had a funky tickle in my throat and I was jubilant that I was able to switch with one of my co-workers so I didn't have to work on Memorial Day. I was thinking "SWEET! I'm gonna go watch me some Terminator Salvation and relax!" Only bad thing is the cough didn't want to go away... Oh well, let's grab some dinner with the fam and STILL coughing like a mother!

So I head to bed after dinner and next day which was the day I planned to see Terminator, my chest is hurting and I'm not feeling so hot... I'm thinking "aww crap, not the flu again!!!!", but despite my mother's concerns I didn't head to the doc yet in the event it was a 24 hour flu or something. So the day goes on and I feel worse and worse... Went to sleep and was coughing while I was asleep, how do I know you may ask? I kept waking up... THAT'S HOW HARD I WAS COUGHING FOLKS!!!

So Sunday rolls around and I'm still feeling like crap, so I finally have to admit defeat and tell my mother time to head to urgent care because this is scaring me! Go to urgent care and they diagnose me with bronchitis! HOLY CRAP! So they give me some anti-biotic and an inhaler (Don't ask folks I have no earthly idea, why they'd give me an inhaler for bronchitis... But what do you expect when you don't have to pay for insurance...) So I also get a note from the doc to stay out of work until Tuesday.

So Monday rolls around and I still feel sick as a dog, and figure Tuesday is a wash... So I called into work and let 'em know I had a docs note. So Wednesday rolls around and still feel like crap and I go as far as to go to work to deliver my doc's note and to let my managers know that I'm not in any shape to work, so thankfully they let me head on home.

So now that it's Thursday, I felt good enough to go to work. Still felt like crap taking calls but at least I still was employed for the time being... I unfortunately have a VERY strict attendance at work and I've already shot my "silver bullet" once... So let's hope a brother stays on...

Funny Tees and Graduation Gifts...

Yeah poke this...

I don't know what it is lately, but I've been on a funny shirt kick... Courtesy of DGK (Dirty Ghetto Kids). As you can see they have a bit of a twisted humor... lol! If nothing else people get a good look and laugh at the Pilsbury Doughboy with gold teeth!

Adam with his "pro" board from DeuxBrahs Skateboards

Oh, and my younger brother is graduating from college! Woo Hoo! When it became kinda "official" I gave him his graduation gift. It's the 2nd board from our little outfit, DeuxBrahs Skateboards (courtesy of boardpusher of course). I wanted to get something unique that no one else would think of. It was neat to see his face when I pulled it out for him! He thought I was pulling our first board until he saw it had his name on it! So that was a really cool thing that brightened up my day especially since I had a bad day yesterday. I was just really stoked to see that he was happy with it!

I think I told him to enjoy his last days as a college student because real life sucks.... LOL

Love Ya Bro!

No Rest for the Weary...

Hmm...

Still livin' amazingly... I wonder sometimes why we are blessed to receive things such as a great family and marvelous friends. Yet we can sometimes be cursed by negativity such as angry customers on the phone, a family member who tries to take advantage of you at every turn. It's those days that I wonder if I'm that big of a sucker to let these negative things happen to me... Although I guess the angry customer thing you can't control but it'd be nice if I could get cool people all the time... LOL

Anyway I guess I want to say that I'm thankful for every one of my family and friends who support me and love me even through my trials and tribulations, and through those days when I just have a piss-poor attitude...

Anywhooo.... Sooner or later things get back to normal right??? LOL

Hopefully, once the lil' bro graduates in a few weeks we'll resume recording for the podcast, apparently lil' bro has been getting some emails wondering if we were coming back. So yes we are coming back just had to wait for Adam to get squared away with school so he had a "normal" schedule... LOL

By the way check out my Twitter feed, I try to update that a lot... Damn I have no life... LOL

Happy Easter

What's up folks! I guess in the interest of keeping this blog flowing I'll write the obligatory Easter Sunday post.

I can remember good times when I was a kid going to Idewild Park here in Reno and doing Easter Egg hunts. This was long before responsibility took over my life and I had to grow up and be a "normal" member of society... (Although I'm sure my friends will tell you that I am FAR from normal...LOL)

I guess I miss those simple days, it was fun. Like me running around during Halloween with a vinyl Superman costume yelling "I AM SUPERMAN!!!" LOL. I think I miss the fact that I wasn't so jaded back in those days. Not that I'm super negative now but seeing how people are in the real world it makes you, if not jaded then more cautious...

Anyway, have a wonderful Easter Sunday and stay positive!

More As Seen on TV...

Yep today's trial by fire on Attack of the Show are the famous rivals Vince's Slap Chop and Billy Mays' Quick Chop...

Speaking of Vince and Slap Chop... Apparently Vince likes slap chopping hookers... Yeah the Shamwow dude just got arrested for slapping around a hooker after she bit his tongue... Good golly where has the world gone when the Shamwow dude has to pay for sex??? LOL

I guess he said he had to rack her so she'd let go of his tongue, he ended up running down to the lobby of his South Beach hotel to have the front desk call the police... Wow...

On the bright side at least she wasn't a bad looking lady... I think they said this was from a few years ago... I guess she looks a little tweaky now....
