Life in the Blue

My fellow inter linking blogger was wed this month. In a ceremony and reception fit for the King of Spades himself, Nathaniel and Kristi publicly announced their love, and as one will now lead the charge against the phesants.

Congratulations my dear friend. You have taught me much in the ways of the female proletariat. From hair care techniques, to medium end denim to “Muffdive?” you have never steered me wrong. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. Without you, I would still be dating band chicks I met at the Vu.

Enjoy some photos from the main event.

Recent travels have left me with some time to come across more things for poor people. Enjoy.

• Court Orders
• Tattoos
• Plastic Silverware
• The Color Purple
• Peanut Butter

Revisit one of the things for poor people. “Calling Shotgun.” Try this, the next time you are with your friends and you leave the house to head to the pub, have everyone start walking to one car. Without question the one who first calls, “Shotgun!” Will be your poorest friend. If you are with a group of people and want to find the poorest of them, this is always an easy trick. Odds are, if your friend is of the female persuasion, she will have a tramp stamp tattoo as well. She will be the one eating Hardees’s in the bleacher seats at the Detroit Tigers game with extra yellow mustard later. She might make you swing by the post office on the way to the game too. 60%, of the time it works every time.

This is kind of a cool site. You can lend money to a specific entrepreneur in a developing country. Usually these people need very little funding to start a “business.” They just need to buy simple things like supplies, construction materials or a cow.

It works because they get what seems like a very little amount of money. Then they can use it to buy their cow, live off it, sell the milk, sell the cow and you get your money back. Everyone wins. Check out the entrepenure lending site.

For the first time in my life I will be participating in a charity boxing match. This is a World Boxing sanctioned event. We have a referee, (Jay Blue Jay) announcer, (www.thegreatsuccess.com) three judges (Cullen, Mitch, Scott) and a ring girl (Brittany). Catch the event live at the office at 7:30 CDT.

Vegas just called. They want to fly us out there after the fight to party. LAX is reserving us the table on the center stage and complimentary bottle service.

My entourage is set. Let’s do this thing. Donkey! Cut me!

I wanted to set up a page on Google Picasa with a lot of old photos. Check it out. It left me with sort of an oakey afterbirth. Classy Group.

My Great Success friend has an on going segment he likes to call interview with a friend. We took some time to nestle together on the sandy beaches of Key West for a nice sit and chat. Check it out for a few giggles. NOTE: You should probably only follow this link if you were born in 1980 or later. Enjoy

Coming to you live from Key West. As I am typing this there is a darling old couple next to me that is having a discussion about what their password should be to buy some tickets online from a broker. They have been debating it for 3 minutes. Seriously. Seems to be some discontent. They also found the fact that you had to provide an email as rather off putting, since they won’t be at home to get it. Strange. Now they bought tickets, and are confused who to call since the tickets will be at “will call” so they think they “will call them.” The father is also very concerned that he should “re-boot” the computer, because somehow that will help prevent those notorious hackers.

Moving on, good trip. Lot’s of sun and BL Smoothies. And the trip has still afforded me the opportunity to keep up the Bubble Watch. My predictions:

Much love to all.
