Let's Get Crass

Well today I thought I'd talk about the chase, and the game. Warning for all those that are about to read further. This may become crass. However, I will endeavour (hehehe that rhymes) to be as sophisticated about this as possible.
First the game. I have been lucky enough to be part of a group that has a regular game. It's kind of nice. Feels like I'm back in Yosemite. We play Texas Hold Em. It's a good time. Ultimatly it's not about the game, but the people who play. They guy that hosts the most often is a pretty cool guy. If I had to describe it I'd say he's a "Good Ol Boy" He and his wife are generous enough to house a group of rowdy guys for an evening of drinking, food, and cards. He does his best to make everyone feel welcome.
Well I'll write more on that at a later date. The next topic is what is crass. I was thinking about a post I made a few days ago. The "Some Guys Got It" one. What was I thinking? Here is the thing. I don't know a single guy that does not enjoy "the chase." Here is the question I now pose: If you don't have the chase what is there?
On the other hand a good rebutal would be having sex whenever you want it. I would have to agree. That could be fun for a while. You still end up bored with someone that robbed you of your chase. Popular phrases deal with this exact subject: "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?" There are a few others and at least a score of names that objectify women.
Or from a historical perspective: Men were hunters and women were gatherers. In that case wouldn't it stand to reason that men will find women that give us the thrill of the hunt. I think so.
Without any further ado the point to all of the above is I think that it would be fun to have women at your beck and call for a while then it would be boring. Ultimatly the ones that have the thrill of the hunt are getting the better deal.
Even with writing that I am split in two. Half of me screaming at the other have saying. "What the F*** are you thinking?" The half getting yelled at is just shrugging is shoulders and asking the same question.

Today:
Well today was my second of 2 12 hour days. I'm glad they are done. I had computer problems for about half the day. It sucked because I had to sit on the phone with IT guys, stare at a monitor. I would much rather do my job. It makes the day go by quicker. I finished off the day using two computers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fixed tomorrow. After that I came home. Cooked some dinner, ate it, then played with Sadie.

Sadies Corner:
Jesse keeps putting my ball in the cup holder of his chair. I figured out how to get it out. Now I put it in and take it out when I want to. Cup holder. I don't think so, it's really a ball holder. The best thing is I find it mildly amusing and when ever I get the ball out Jesse scratches me behind the ears. Woo hoo.

The differences:
Oddly enough I have met a few women that are in regular games of Texas Hold Em. They are even single, cute, and young.
In CA single, cute, and young women are usually only into themselves, and guys with money.

Also much to my surprise most people out here have never heard the phrase "Ass, Grass, or Cash." As said in response to a question in which one is seeking something from you like a ride, help moving, etc. People out here just have not heard it.

Stay Tuned...

The Double Standard

So here we are. My friend and I are at Chilie's. This is the same friend I talked about in my last update. This waitress that I have a thing for is over talking with us. I think it's for two reasons: 1st cause she has a little crush on my friend and 2ond because my friends new girlfriend works there and she is sitting with us. Anyway the conversation turns to #'s. The age old art of "getting the digits." For those of you that are a little older this means getting someones phone #. It kind of works like this. For a woman: If she walks away with the guys # it a good thing. If she gives her # to him it's a little less of a good thing. If she gives her # and does not get his it's a bad thing. For guys: get her # good. If you like her and you trade #'s good. If you don't like her and you trade #'s bad, and if you just end up giving yours bad. Up the stakes a little OKC has a radio station with loser line. This is for people to give out a # to someone they don't want to give their # to in order to get that person to leave them alone. When the person calls the # they get an answering maching that is pretty nondescript. The station then airs the messages. Any way back to my story. The girls are talking about how many #'s they get and throw away. I mention that my friend does the same thing and I try to catch them before they hit the ground. Here is the double standard. Even though he is getting #'s and throwing them away he is all of a sudden a "man whore" What is the deal with that? He doesn't even ask for the # half the time.

Daily Journal:
It was a real nice day despite the mandatory overtime. I'm trying to not procrastinate and apply for a few different positions at work. Hopefully I'll get one of them. My friend Kalin returned from Romania. He misses his family but is glad to be back. He sent us some beautifull pictures. He even brought back gifts. I got a pair of sunglasses, a pen, and a mug with dracula on it. For those who don't know Romania is more well known for Transilvania. Anyway it is good to have him back.
Adam and I discussed pointless and or stupid company policy. Then rattled on about the muffin joke and or varitations.
My friend Matt has returned from Italy. He also has some great pics. He had a great time.
Shane is doing good. He just needs a new riding partner. I need a bike soon so I can be that partner. If anyone would like to donate to the buy Jesse a motorcycle and protective gear fund let me know.
Anyway I got off of work and went to Chilies hung out for a while then went home to Sadie. She was happy to see me as always.

Sadies Corner:
Well we are back into our weekday routine. A walk in the morning and a walk in the evening. I miss Jesse during the day, but he leaves his TV on for me and I get to run around and play with my toys. He did say he was going climbing soon. woo hoo that means a romp in the woods for me.

Family Circus:
Well Beth talked to her Dr. and I can get an appointment. Now I just have to schedual one. I need to make about two more trips to the dentist and I'll be shipshape in the tooth department.

The differences:
I don't know if I've talked about the wind out here, but it blows all the time. To truly appreciate the Dust Bowl and understand how it happend just live here for a year. You'll understand. I can not remember a single time that the wind wasn't blowing.
California will get a nice breeze every now and then. The Bay Area will get breezy. In the morning and the evening durin certain times of the year. It still doesn't compare to the wind out here.

More to come...

Some Guys Got It

Ok so this is where we are at:
Work: I'm getting ready to apply for a position that is internal support. The take over is getting closer, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even a little worried. I've also heard rumors of a dress code. We have mandatory overtime right now. Basicly I see moral going down with mandatory overtime and down even further with this new dress code. We'll see how that turns out.

So I've got this friend. I don't know how he does it, but he does it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I'd never believe it. He pretty much just has to look at a woman and she falls all over him. We go to Chilies and we leave. He has our waitresses number. We go again to find me one. He literally does not say a thing and she is still more interested in him, and the first waitress is at our table more than her customers tables. This is just one example. I just don't get it.

Who knows? Oddly enough I keep talking to one girl that I met when I first got here. We get along pretty well on the phone. Who knows?

On another note I am excited about two things:
1st I might be going on a cruis in about a month. Hopefully that works out.
2ondly and more importantly I have just bought a guide book to OK climbing. They just haven't had one until now. My friends all seem interested on going and at the very least try the sport I'm so passionate about. I'll go before the end of Sept.

Sadies Corner:
I've been doing well. Jesse cut my nails for the first time today. I guess he got tired of taking me to the vet. He did a good job except he did get a little to close on one. Then he took me to the lake. We drove around it then he let me out to run and swim. I love that so much. He took me to the lake yesterday too. I'm a happy pooch right now but I wish I could play with Panzer again and see Aunt Beth. We'll go soon though and if Jesse goes on the cruise Aunt Beth said I could stay with her and Panzer.

Family Circus:
Well Beth and Brian and the kids have returned from CA. Everyone misses eachother and bug has learned some new tricks. Nat is full of smiles and giggles. Beth and Brian also had a good time.
Unfortunatly for me they also brought some bad news back with them. As it would turn out I might have some from of Parkinsins Disease. Beth is checking to see if her Dr. is taking new patients.

The differences:
If you move to CA no one asks why. If you move to OK everyone asks why.

To all my loyal readers and fans I'll write again sooner this time. Bye all.
