This weekend was pretty good. Our systems were down last Thurs. at work. I was off on Fri. I had a dentist appointment. That went pretty well, but then I found out that the actually trimmed some of the gumb away from one of my teeth. That sucked. The I hung out with one of my friends.
Saturday I just kind of kicked back. Read a little, napped alot, took the dog out. It was good times.
Today I got a haircut and ran some errands. I think I might even eat at Sonic tonight. Why not?

Commentary:
Well here is that same old question once again. What to write about? On a previous topic I have been doing alot on the differences between Men and Women lately so this may be of some interest to you. I was flipping through the channels this morning and I saw a female minister giving a sermon on the differnces between a man and a woman. Now I wasn't paying extremly close attention to what she was saying, but she did talk about the 5 most important needs of a woman and a man.
A Woman in no particular order:
A. Companionship
B. Financial Support
C. Blah...blah...blah
D. Blah...blah...blah
E. Blah...blah...blah
To all of you women out there it is important to understand that I'm not saying that your needs are "Blah...blah...blah" or unimportant. I just can't remember what she was saying right now. If I do I will amend the above and maybe even put them in order of most to least important.
Men in order from most to least important:
1. Sexual Gradification
2. A beautifull spouse
3. Recreational Companionship
4. Blah...blah...blah
5. Domestic Support
The female minister went on to say that women should do whatever they can to look nice and sexually gradify their husbands. (I think I like this minister) She did use the verse in the bible that talks about wives submitting to there husbands, but she qualified it in the way that I often do continuing with the next verse that talks about how husbands should serve there wives the way the Christ served the church. Any way I just thought you might find that interesting.

So Christmas is almost here. Has everyone finished there Christmas Shopping? What does everyone think about Santa Clause Vs. Christ? I think I'll have to write on that...probably tomorrow.

Sadies Corner:
I hung out with Adam and Jess Friday night. It was "Good Times!" On Saturday Jess took me to the lake. The water was cold, but I still had fun. He left me for a while on Sunday, but it wasn't that long, and he is home now so life is good. To all my loyal readers you can by me anything that you would like as long as it is for dogs. I added a link on the page that will take you right there. Woof!!!!

Family Circus:
Beth has been asked to make the Turkey this year, but serve and her in laws house. Supposedly everyone seems to think that too many people are coming to have it at Beth's house. I don't know what to think, and at this point I really don't care, free food, home made, and good. I'll be there if they serve it on the lake. Although I do think that Beth and Brian have a larger house and that their family could use a quick lesson on learning how to make do and enjoy the food and company as opposed to being locked in to a certain way of doing things. It's a good thing that the shoes were not reversed. Thank God they do not have any daughters and I was the one that got married. It would probably have ended by now.

I'll update soon

Pizza and Sex

I've been watching people during my breaks for quite a while now. In general the women usually sit together and the men sit together. Which isn't the problem and there generally is some intermingling. However, I've noticed that typically women talk about there relationships, children, there house, dreams, etc... Us guys usually talk about extremely mundain things for instance the other day us guys spent an entire break talking about twinkies. Now we dressed it up a little talking about the scientific process that had been used to test the twinkies, some test that we would like to see performed on them etc... Ultimatly we still spent a break talking about twinkies.
At this I thought is it any wonder that women have got us figured out. Just think how much more men might understand women if we spent even 15 minutes a day talking about relationships. I asked a few women if they thought they had men figured out. Most said that they didn't think so. I pointed out that maybe they were in denial. At that they seemed to look at me in dismay that it could possibly be true that all us men care about is sex, food, sports, and sleep. Women, rest assured that we actually do think of other things from time to time, but I would say that the above sex, food, sports and sleep (The Four) are the primary drives of most men.
The thought had occured to me that it really works like this. Guys are always out for sex, there are very few times when the need for food will overcome the want for sex. Sports is good you can eat food during sports. The thought had occured to me that sex might even be better for women during sports. Haven't you ever seen how exicited guys get when the running back breaks away from the line and is headed toward the end zone. Guys, I wouldn't recomend asking for that.
Food and sex. That has been around for a while. It is yet again a perfect example of another way women and men view things differently. Women think that grapes and sex go well together. Guys would be happiest if they came home to their woman to find them naked and ready with a pizza on there stomach. Syrup...women think lets pour this all over eachother and lick it off...guys think honey...hold your arms together just so and press them to your stomach...I'll go get the ice cream and spoons.
Now sleep pretty much comes after any of the above. Have sex...go to sleep. Eat then sleep...Sports then guess what sleep. Even sleep then sleep. Word of warning guys...you can sleep through the game, you can sleep through sleep, but don't ever sleep through something that involves you and your girl. For instance: Sex or Dinner. Trust me, you will rue the day.
This being understood I do think that it is fair to qualify that as the drives of your typical single guy. We do have other aspirations but they usually come 2ond. Your average married guy also has other aspirations like providing for his family. If he's been married a long time getting his sex drive back after his wife and kids killed it.
Which all of the above seems to fit in well with another one of my theories. Men get married to have sex. The irony is that any man well tell you that is what they thought too, but that it doesn't work out that way. I believe Jeff Foxworthy said "Getting married for sex is like buying a 747 because you want to eat some peanuts." Although my thinking is that it is more about the types of sex rather than the frequency. Honeymoon sex, get back from honeymoon sex, baptize the new house and vehicles sex, we are both home from work because we're sick sex, afternoon lunchtime quickies, lets have a baby sex, pregnant sex, we had the baby sex, anniversary sex, and quick honey the kids are gone for 30 minute sex...there are many other types of sex and the list goes on and on. In any case I think this is a big reason men get married. We all just hope that the frequency is often.
In other news I went to a deli the other day: I asked for a pastrami and swiss on sourdough they made it on dark rye then gave me both. Wooo Hooo.
Here is a question I have. The other day I bought and watched the remake of "Stepford Wives". I noticed some similarities between that and Southern women. Granted the only southern women I've been exposed to for any length of time is my brother in laws family. Now I don't know if all southern women are like that but I swear to god they could have easily filmed this movie in there houses. These women keep immaculate homes, can cook and do cook just about everything under the sun, and always seem to look their best. Don't get me wrong I was just raised differntly. If you wanted food go, go get it. I started doing my laundry when I was in 5th grade etc...Honestly though I'd rather have a women that is my companion as opposed to my servant. To anyone in my brother in laws family: I'm not saying that your women are or that you treat them like servants etc...All I'm saying is that compared to how I was raised that is what it feels like to me. Funny thing is I've never really seen the men order them around. They do it voluntarily. To each there own I guess.

Family Circus:
Well all is well on my sisters home front. She does seem a little upset at the possibility that I may be spending Thanksgiving with some friends. Other than that she seems to be holding to the norm.

Sadies Corner:
Well Jesse made the big mistake of leaving a empty Sonic bag where I could get to it. I killed it then shredded it. Unfortunatly I forgot to clean it up before he got home...Oooops!!! I just tried to look as cute and pathetic as I could while he yelled at me. Then I gave him the eyes. He is such a push over sometimes. Other than that we have had to play alot in doors this week because of the rain. I like the rain. I even like playing in the rain, so we play for a little bit outside then alot inside. Jesse says he doesn't like his apartment to smell like wet dog. Adam came to see me this week, but I haven't seen any of my other friends. They better come soon or I'll bite them.

The differences:
One thing I have noticed about Oklahoma is that it is extremely difficult to find sour dough bread here. I haven't found a single store that carries it. I also haven't seen San Francisco Rounds here anywhere. Oklahomans just don't know what they're missing out on.

One other thing that I've noticed: I listen to KJ103 with TJ, Janet, and J Rod in the mornings. Quite often they ask a rather hick type question. As they are discussing it between themselves or with callers they throw out this disclaimer that Oklahoma is really not like this. Usualy to the effect that if anyone from CA is driving through or someone famous from CA is driving through. We are really not like this out here. I heard this the first time a little over a year ago. I am from CA. I'll be the first to tell you that Oklahoma is not that bad of a place. It's not CA, but it's decent enough. Although I have to disagree with the morning crew at KJ103. I can not tell you how often I have heard them say: "Oklahoma is not like this". I'm here to tell you it is. From this point forward I think I'll start keeping track of what they are talking about when this is said because I think you might find it informative and interesting. They say don't be affraid to stop by because Oklahoma is not like this. I say be fearfull, Oklahoma is like this, but stop by anyway because at the very least it is amuzing. Similar to one long, never ending Jeff Foxworthy show, more recently comparible to a lifelong episode of "Blue Collar TV".

Enough for now. Hey does any one have any ideas on how I could possibly get this on the above listed morning show? Let me know. I think they might find my differences section very interesting.

To all my loyal readers:
Until next time...

Friday 12th:
Worked. Went home did some chores. Played with the dog. Kicked back and then went to bed at decent hour.

Saturday 13th:
Slept in till 8. Got breakfast. Played with Sadie. Took a nap. Friends came over till about 3am.

Sunday 14th:
Slept in. Breakfast, dog, nap, laundry, friend came over for a few hours. Bought some dvd's. Went home watched some of them. Ate dinner, and played with Sadie some more. All and all it was a fairly dull weekend. Just what I needed. Got plenty of rest and didn't spend alot of money.

Monday 15th:
Well I'm here at work during my lunch hour, and thought I'd update this blog. I may right more later, but I'm considering an endeavor which I feel like researching at this time.

I'll write soon,
Jesse

Combination Locks....

I haven't updated this in awhile. Now by popular demand I am once again updating my blog. Yes, it's true a new blog. You don't have to hide your amazement, but if for some reason you are dissappointed I would prefer that you do hide that. The trouble is I don't have anything to write about. Every writer/professor I've ever known have always said to just start writing and sooner or later something brilliant is bound to come out.
OK where shall I start. I have a new neighbor at work. She is a pretty nice lady. Great thing about her is that, like me, she also is from CA. Woo hoo. Now I don't remember what we were talking about, or even how we got on the subject, but I told her something and she said I should include it in my blog. The only problem is, although at the time I said it, I'm sure that it was brilliant, charming, and probably on the scope of curing world hunger or cancer. I just can't remember what it was. It's totally possible that we were talking about relationships and sex, and even as I write this I am now beginging to remember. I was saying that women should just let men do there thing, then we will be able to concentrate while we attempt to pleasure them. The problem with women is that they expect us to figure out what to do with them. Meanwhile, the fake and we think we are doing it to them. That each woman was like a combination lock. Spin it 3 times to the right to clear it. Spin it four times to the left and land on 15. Spin 3 times to the right and land on 4, finally twice back to the right land on 56. Then open. The only problem is each woman has a different combination. Also they tend to be alot more complicated than the most sophisticated locks. I don't know of a single lock that tells you that it's almost open only to tell you that it is starting to become more locked. Ahhh lifes cruel little ironies. (Although if someone could actually design locks that behaved like women we would probably have alot less break-ins. All the thiefs would be to damn fraustrated with the locks and just give up.) However, I am not suggesting that we men just give up on pleasing our women. I suggest that our women satisfy us. Admit guys, you know the first one is usually quick anyway. Now we are no longer distracted and can concentrate on learning your combination. This part is for the women: Yes most men will have a few tricks up there sleeves and even those of us that you might consider beyond help can at the least turn on the oven. Here is the thing. Teach us your combination. Work with us. Worse case scenario: The first few times even tell us. Just plan ahead. Spend a little time now preparing us. Over time, we will learn the combination, it will become almost instinctive because that is what guys do. We figure out the formula. If you want to fake every so often go ahead. If you do it all the time I can pretty much guarentee that you will never be satisfied, simply because us men will be thinking that we are getting the job done.

In other news: My company has finally been taken over by that other company. The good news and much to my relief we all still have our jobs. At least we have them for the time being. Wooo hooo. The clutch in my car has finally gone out. 120,000 miles, that's pretty darn good for a clutch. Anyway I have bought a truck. It's 7 years older, but has less miles. that should buy me some more time. I usually hang out with a few of my friends a couple different times a week. The poker game has pretty much died, and it now looks that we will give frezbie golf a go.

Where are the ladies?
Obviously I do not know the answere to this question or I proabably wouldn't be typing here. On the lighter side I have met a real nice girl. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better. If I keep asking her to dinner and a movie she has to give in eventually right??? She did call me for the first time today. That was a pleasant surprise.
I also believe that I am cursed. I have been acused serval times of having been engaged and or married to women that I was just friends with or even on a first date. My new working theory is that women see me and think I'm already with someone. Ladies let me assure you that I AM SINGLE!!!!! START YOUR ENGINES AND HIT ON ME!!!!

Family Circus:
Well Bug and Naddie are getting bigger. Bug is a real character. Beth and Brian have a new mouth to feed. Now on to bigger and more important things: Turkey Day. I've been invited to a few different places. On one hand I can eat another one of Beth's most perfect birds and enjoy a feast worthy of kings or go for the unexpected. Although Beth's bird is tempting I'm leaning towards the unexpected at this point simply because it sounds like an adventure.

Sadies Corner:
Well my friends Adam, Calin and Shane come over here to play with me a few times a week. They talk to Jesse, but I know they are here to play with me. Adam tries to pretend he's throwing my ball and then he hides it. He doesn't fool me. Every now and then I'll turn and run just to appease him. Calin lets me sit in his lap. Shane has been neglecting me. He hasn't brought me Munchems in over two months. I might start taking it out on his shoes, but for now I think I'll give him a few more chances. I also have found a new toy. Empty two liter bottles are extremely fun to play with.

The Differnces:
I think I have covered a large number of differences so far so I apologize if this is a repeat. Since I have experinenced it again tonight I will write it anyway. Oklahomans DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. I have experianced gridlock here a total of 6 times since I have moved here. On average that is once every two months. In CA I only experianced gridlock once. I drove there for ten years. Only once. The traffic jams I've been in out there were far worse, but people still understand and practiced merging. Granted that in CA you tend not to try to piss off other drivers because road rage is almost a common and exceptable practice. So is keeping a gun in your glove compartment to use should such a situation occur. In all, I have been cut off and in gridlock more often here in one year than in ten years in CA.
Also in CA the lanes you drive in kind of work like this. The "slow lane" is usually the speed limit lane. Each lane to the left increases in 5mph increaments over the speed limit. The far left lane is as fast as you dare go. Often it is common for traffic to be traveling at 10mph over the speed limit. Here people will go 40 in a 65 three lanes abreast. Maybe inbreeding makes them less intelligent, but it would stand to reason that three people in three different cars would be intelligent enough to drive single file in one lane instead of impedeing traffic in all three. I could go on forever about this, and I wouldn't be surprised if I make this my next topic.
On another note, I have never seen so many vehicles broken down on the side of the road as I have here, and they are left there for weeks.

FYI: Do you know how long it takes to get sick of eating at Hooters. Just about a year. Just in case you were wondering.

I can not remember what other sections I had in here, but right now I'm tired. So I'm going to go to bed. I'm not even going to spell check this or proof read it for grammer. So...Please forgive the spelling and grammer.

Goodnight and until next time.
