Suck big time.
My nose is raw from wiping. My throat hurts, I am sneezing like a demon. And this isn’t allergies.
Crap.

In my opinion
Teva’s are the most perfect footwear on the planet.
Except for the thongs. I just can’t get into anything between my toes.
Namaste.
Gillette vs Schick.. The Battle Royale
Tyler over at Building Camelot has been doing a product testing on razors. He has been using the Gillette Fusion and the Schick Quattro. I told him that they both suck.
First off, you have razors with 4 blades. That is like pulling a lawn mower across your face. And for me, and my head? I have tried both of them long ago, and they both dug furrows in my scalp. I am talking trenches you could have planted corn in. Not good.
I use the Schick Xtreme disposable. Why disposable? Because they cost less than the replacement blades. Period.
That is all that needs to be said about that. Because when you shave your head and your face on a daily basis, you ARE the expert as to which blade to use.
Take note of that Schick Corporation. Unsolicited praise.
You are welcome.
Namaste.
You need to advertise here
That’s right. You need to advertise your product or blog here. Well, not really here. I am talking about on my side bar. Why, you ask? Because I am bringing in a few hundred people a week to check out the craziness that is going on in my head.
Yeah, I said a few. With that many hits, and with my pointing to your ad saying “Hey! Read the ads over there ’cause those folks know what they are talking about” on a consistent, and constant basis you will drive folks to your site.
That means dollars in your pocket. And improved rankings to your site. And that also means dollars in your pocket.
The reason that I am advertising this now is that I have been reading a blog called Make Money Blog. The admin, known as Noob, is running a contest of sorts. No big money involved, just a way to get us readers writing, and thinking. Not too long ago Noob wrote a post called “Printers and fools gold” that really takes sales and marketing down to its basic form.
But enough about him. Back to me. I need you, you need me. Let’s do some business because together, we are unstoppable. You can contact me via my contact information listed in my “About” page. Let me know what you are looking for, I will tell you what it will cost. We are all adults here, so this will be quick and painless for all of us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Namaste.
I am not Bossy
Opinionated. Argumentative. Bull-headed. Yes.
But I am not Bossy.
Georgia Getz IS Bossy.
And I am jealous. Not of her being Bossy. I am jealous because she worker her ass off and got this gig with Saturn cars where she drove various cars around the country, and met with various bloggers.
She called it “Bossy’s Excellent Roadtrip“. Don’t know who paid for the gas, but what the hell. I would like to drive around the US in various new cars meeting new people. What wouldn’t be cool about that?
Go read about it. Lots of neat folks out there to meet.
I am jealous.
But I am not Bossy.

Web Design for You.
As a blogger of note, ok so the of note is only in my head but let’s move on shall we? As a blogger (Happy?) I am always reading content blogs, and now a design blog.
Stylish Design advertises itself as a website “founded and operated by Robert and Andrei. Working in the art and advertising industry for over eight years, along with his team of well experienced writers, share insight into the world of art, culture, and design.”
I enjoy this blog because of its mixture of content,and programming. I want to learn more on the programming side, and every bit of information I get is useful. Especially if it is offered in an easy, understandable way. As I am not Mr. Programmer Guy at this point.
I also liked the ease of mobility through the articles, and the way they were layed out. This would be a blog to read to increase your knowledge of blogging.

The Perfect Car
Pierce, the youngest son, is always talking to me about cars. He has not had the best of luck with vehicles. His first was a Ford Ranger. That promptly broke down and cost him a bunch of cash. His next vehicle was a geo priszm. Also known in our family as “The Car That Won’t Die”. It is a 1992 or 1993 geo that has been in MLW’s family since that time. And it won’t die. The engine in it is as strong as the one in my Tacoma.
Now the boy owns a Tiberon. Loves it. But I called him the other day to tell him that I had found the perfect car for him.
A 1979 Checker Motors Company Marathon. Yeah, that’s right. An old Checker cab. It is perfect as the boy lives outside of Detroit. The car is built like a tank, runs off of a small block V-8, and has a huge back seat for all of the kids he is always hanging out with. He can also charge fares from all of his free-loading friends.
I like this idea.
Him? Not so much. Kids just don’t have the vision that their parents do.
Namaste.
Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee
I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t love giveaways. When I owned my own business I had shirts made that I sold with the name of my business, and contact info on it. Sold them for cheap, because I was too cheap to give them away. Promotional Apparel is a great way to get your name out there to the buying public. But shirts aren’t the only thing you can have your logo put on. Think of all the various promotional items you probably have in your own home. Key rings, hats, cozies, balloons, bags, shirts, jackets, balls, frisbees, and pretty much anything you can think of.
Promotional items are a great way to get your name out there. Using Gimmees dot com is a way to manage the purchasing process in real time.

Jammin’ to The Jayhawks
Some nights it is just right for turning up the cd player, jammin’ to The Jayhawks. Firing up a nice, smooth cigar. Yep. I like to smoke a stogie on my hour drive home from work. But only on the nights I work. I don’t smoke driving home when I come home at 5pm.
One of my friends got me smoking cigars awhile ago. He is a maven. I am more of an occaisional smoker. I am working my way through the Jrcigars catalog right now. I am working my way through some camaroons that I bought the other day.
Don’t hate be because I like a good cigar. There is nothing more relaxing on my ride home.
With The Jayhawks.

My place, or Your Place?
When you move into a new area it is interesting to find out what the local food favs are.
When I moved from the west side of Michigan to the Deroit area, I learned about the lusciousness that is White Castle.
And cold Stroh’s beer.
When I moved to Columbus, I learned about chili and spaghetti. Yum.
Moving to Pennsylvania I have learned about Lebanon Bologna, red beet eggs, and stromboli from Your Place.
Not specifically YOUR PLACE. But the restaurant here in Pennsylvania called Your Place.
Their stromboli, or strombaloney as The Princess used to call it, is absolutely out of this world. You have got to try it.
I am thinking about this as we try to decide what to have for dinner, as all of us forgot that Chik-Fil-A is closed on Sundays. You would think that at least one of us would have remembered.
Namaste.
