I'm giving it three episodes. I'll still expect it to be repetetive, but since this is a new experience for the drivers from season 1, it is interesting to watch the learning curve. It's still no Deadliest Catch though.

"Piqued", not peaked. (Though your curiosity may have reached a peak). First time I've probably ever written or used the word, so I'm clueless. I figured a dude watching a TV show about trucks driving over frozen lakes and oceans would get cut some slack. Obviously I was wrong. Thanks for the correction.

I don't care who ya are, that's just funny! Yeah, I have to agree.

Yeah, but at least the temps dropped, right? Record heat type shit currently going on in NY. Phoenix will reach 107 today. It's bad all over.

Okay, so after the end of last season I swore off this show because it never seemed to have much going on other than some cranky drivers and the risk of falling through the ice. But, the second season has these dudes driving over the Arctic Ocean. Can't say if this show is a must watch, but they've peaked my curiosity.

hehe That band Nickleback drives me crazy. Every song sounds almost indentical, the only thing that changes is the stupid lyrics.

No shit?

Neil Diamond? Neil Young.

Breaks my heart to drag "the Crue" into this shit, but this new song of their's is just completely awful. Tonight, there's gonna be a fight So if you need a place to go Got a two roof slum A magnum 7 gun And the cops don't never show So come right in Cuz everybody sins Welcome to the scene of the crime You want it, believe it, you got it if you need it The devil is a friend of mine Well if you think it's crazy, you ain't seen a thing Just wait untill we're goin down in flames Chrous We are, we are the saints We signed our life away Doesn't matter what you think We're gonna do it anyway We are, we are the saints One day you will confess And pray to the saints of Los Angeles Red line, tripping on land mines Sippin at the Troubadour Girls passed out, naked in the back now Everybody's goin to score She's all jacked up, down on her luck You wan't it, you need it the devil's gonna feed it Don't cha say it's crazy, you don't know a thing Just wait untill we're going down in flames We are, we are the saints We signed our life away Doesn't matter what you think We're gonna do it anyway We are, we are the saints One day you will confess And pray to the saints of Los Angeles Solo Give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up Give it up, give it up We are, we are the saints We signed our life away Doesn't matter what you think We're gonna do it anyway We are, we are the saints One day you will confess And pray to the saints of Los Angeles We are, we are the saints We signed our life away Doesn't matter what you think We're gonna do it anyway We are, we are the saints One day you will confess And pray to the saints of Los Angeles

Queen Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day You got mud on yo’ face You big disgrace Kickin’ your can all over the place We will we will rock you We will we will rock you Buddy you’re a young man hard man Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day You got blood on yo’ face You big disgrace Wavin’ your banner all over the place We will we will rock you We will we will rock you Buddy you’re an old man poor man Pleadin’ with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day You got mud on your face You big disgrace Somebody better put you back in your place We will we will rock you We will we will rock you

I guess I'm not only picking lyrics that make me want to scream, I picking songs that make me want to punch the singer in the face. My (former) office assistant in NY listended to Top 40, which really means the top 10 and I would hear this song 20 times a day. Sean Paul "We Be Burnin'" [intro:] [Radio version:] Just gimme the gees an we be clubbing yow. Gal a make we please and we be thuggin' now. Sippin' Hennesy an we'll be bubblin' yow. Set we mind at ease we got to take it slow. [Club version:] Just gimme the trees an mek we smoke it yo. It a mek we please so don't provoke it yo. We don't need no speed so we going to coke it yo. Set we mind at ease we got to take it slow. [Verse 1:] So when you see the S.P. floating don't provoke him Cause the girls we be poking have to smoking. Best thing fi the recreation a fi get the best girls inna every nation. All Topper girls we promotin' and suportin' And dem love how we flow king here them shouting First class ticket invitation girls from New York, England and Jamaican. Everyday... [Chorus:] We be burnin' not concernin' what nobody wanna say. We be earnin' dollars turning 'cause we mind de pon we pay. More than gold and oil and diamonds - girls, we need dem everyday [ - radio version] Some got gold and oil and diamonds - all we got is Mary J [ - club version] Recognize it, we pimpin' as we riding [ - radio version] Legalize it, time to recognise it [ - club version] [Verse 2:] Girls them a page me waan fi raise me True me write nuff tune and drive them crazy. Well I man a true born Jamaican Ready fi the girls them inna every situation. We a the gal dem pro, them know we flow With the lyrical content that make them dip low and Make the club keep jumpin' Turn up the bass make we here when it pumpin'. Summertime bounce to the music people choose it Sean da P gal a cruise with... well reputed cause. We a the girls them champion, Have nuff a them like the great king Solomon. Many girls inna wi eye sight sexy dress type Se them ready fi a hype night Just gimme di light An make we blaze it the roof we haffi raise it again [Chorus] [intro] [Repeat Verse 1] Everyday... [Chorus:] Again... [Chorus x2]

Salute!

I've been traveling so much for business, I don't have any major trips planned, but will be taking a full 10 days off starting 6/19. Have plans to to check out a Mets game, go and see my parents for a couple of days and then just kickback. Maybe in July or August, we'll take a short trip to San Diego or up to Niagara Falls.

Glad to see you made it.

Free, did you smoke anything this weekend?

Lastnight was salad and grilled polenta. Tonight will be a risotto primavera and chicken piccata.

What about it?

“the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat” I've got real fond memories of the Wide World of Sports and Jim McKay in general. When I was a kid, he like Howard Cosell was a fixture on the TV. Now we've got bonehads like Chris Berman. RIP, Mr. McKay.

Leave your cares behind come with us and find The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside of your mind Beyond the seas of thought beyond the realm of what Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not Come along if you care... But please realise you'll probably be surprised For it's the land unknown to man Where fantasy is fact So if you can, please understand You might not come back Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see How happy life could be if all of mankind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind Center of the mind

I was married on a beautiful sunny day in February 2000.... seperated early 2001...... and divorced by November of that year. But hey, I've been with the same woman now for 6 years and living with her for almost 4 of the 6. Holy shit, I must be getting easier to get along with. Hats off to you people that have made it work, especially the ones in double digits.

I'm glad there are signs of improvement. Keep it up, CT!

A Supertoilet That Saves Rocky Marriages and The Planet This is the slogan. I can hear it now. "I can't stand the sight of your face or even the sound of your voice, but if this marriage is going to work, we need to start shitting together!" "Hey, not only is our water bill going down, I'm losing weight since my wife has really been keeping an eye on my diet". "Can you pass me the sports page?" "Was that you or me?" "Ready, 1...,2....,3...., FLUSH!" "Penny for your thoughts"
