Ok, no rants this time. I've vented enough about politics over on my campaign blog...which you can read at www.boforsenate.com....to last a week or so. Instead, just more random things that make up my life, because I know everyone is DYING to know what I think...hahaha.
First, and this pains me greatly, I have to admit I was wrong. In my year end awards for 2005, I gave Paul Walker the coveted "Jackass of the Year" award because I thought the dude was just some Hollywood pretty boy who would get big movies with ZERO talent. Well, I was wrong. I know I know, it's a dark day in history for me to be wrong. Last week I watched the movie "Running Scared"...no not the one with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal...the one that came out a few months back. I have to say, it was one of the best movies I've seen this year so far...and as hard as it is to say this...Paul Walker actually impressed the crap out of me with his acting. I'll give credit when it's due...and he did an awesome job. Maybe he's one of those guys that was always thrown into crappy roles, who knows. What sucks is I can't say much about the movie because the whole thing is one giant roller coaster ride...and I don't want to give anything away. But if you are looking for a movie that just sucks you in, this is the one. I love an intense drama, and this one delivered beyond belief. And you know what? I'm REALLY glad I saw this dude in a movie that will not make me think of him man-hugging Scott Caan and saying "luv ya bro" like he did in "Into the Blue", because he's got a major role in the upcoming movie "Flags of Our Fathers" which is about the 6 men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. If I hadn't watched "Running Scared" I'd be thinking "oh man...not him..." and get all pissed off. So yeah, I was wrong, I admit it. Let's move on now, shall we?
I'm a single guy who is always on the lookout for a potential wife-to-be. Oh I know, those of you who held me up as a pillar of manhood are thinking "what???" so let me explain. Yes, I'm single, but I always keep my options open. I'm not going to go out with someone just because they're hot or whatever...I really require substance...and I have a pretty intensive mental list of requirements they must meet for me to change my life around. I've got a lot of things I enjoy doing, and I'm not about to give up those things just to date....screw that. Women come and go...but a great video game can last a loooong time....hahahaha. Plus, the NFL isn't going anywhere either. I bring all this up because even though I'm not some desperate guy who has to have someone in my life...I do have a profile up on a personals site. I have to say, it's pretty funny. I'm always keeping options open because you just never know, but man this site cracks me up. One thing that I have learned is that I must be a redneck woman's dream. Serious...I get several emails a day from women in their mid-40's with 5 kids. If you don't know about these sites, you enter your info like age, description, and what you're looking for. Mine says that the woman shouldn't have any kids. That doesn't mean I wouldn't go out with someone with a kid, but I do that to screen. I've gone out with two girls before who had kids and it wasn't the most pleasant experience in the world due to the ex's. But when a woman contacts me with 5 kids, well I think it's safe to say she will never hear back from me. Plus I have an age range on there...do these people never read? "Hey there...I live in the boondocks with 5 kids and I'm 45"....what the hell??? Granted I have had some girls I've met through this site that weren't 45 with 5 kids, but it cracks me up with the emails I get. The funniest though is when I take the time to do a search. The profiles I read are hilarious. Why? Because they are just sooooo filled with the typical fluff. For instance, here's the typical profile -
"I don't know why I'm doing this, but I figured I would give it a shot. I'm looking for a nice guy who knows how to treat a woman right. I enjoy the outdoors, music, going out to eat, and some nights I like to just curl up on the couch and watch a good movie".
Wow...you really sound interesting...hahahahaha. Could you be a little more vague? I mean seriously, who doesn't enjoy all these things? All I have ever asked is for her to have a brain. Put something out there with some substance to it. Oh, and do you know how many women I see with the headline "Now Accepting Applications"? Yeah, if you were THAT desirable I do believe you would have found someone by now. Oh, I do have to talk about my personal favorite. There will be some woman who is BEYOND hot in the photo, but once you click on it, it says -
"I look for serious relation. I am good woman who wants to be good wife. I am kind and will take care of man. My account is not paid so I can only get email. Please email at [email protected]"
Ok, so please sign me up for a mail order bride from Russia...I can't imagine life being any better than that...hahahaha. When I bought my house three years ago, I knew the first thing I wanted was a dog. Why? Because dogs think of two things - play with me and feed me. When I go and sit on my back patio with Vick at night, and he comes up to me and I scratch behind his ears, I can tell him anything. His reaction is always the same...he just sits there. I can just talk and talk and he puts things in perspective - "yeah that's great Bo...can you throw the ball now?". He always reminds me of simple pleasures and to keep things light. In his world, nothing gets more complicated then when I run around with his favorite glow in the dark ball...and he chases me wondering when I'm going to throw it. Oh...I did have a trip to the vet with him this week for some booster shots. I was so proud of him. We go in and there were some big dogs in there including another German Shepherd. His behavior was perfect. The other dogs would bark at him and he just looked at them like "buddy...I'm twice your size...just sit down and shut up or you'll get hurt". Well this coming weekend should be interesting, because I'm going to take him to Petsmart for the first time. Let's see what kind of hell he raises there. Oh yeah...it should be funny.
Since I ranted last week, I never talked about the first NoiseCult gig with the new songs. Well to sum it up...we rocked. However, I don't know what it is about Springwater, but both times we've played there, Don's guitar keeps going out of tune. But thankfully my witty banter in-between songs would entertain everyone while he would tune up. We may have some very big shows coming up soon with some national acts so stay tuned.
Alrighty...that's enough for tonight. It's late and I need my beauty sleep sportsfans. Until next time....
