It's true....It's true....and it couldn't have come at a better time. What's true you ask? My comeback that's what. Most of you probably heard rumors about my sudden disappearance. Some used the pretty convention rumors such as I had passed away or I had got a real life. Others got a little more creative. I heard everything from I had become a member of the men in black to I had changed my disguise because the police were after me (only the guys I was with in Windsor will get that one.) Anyways, the truth is I just needed a break. Yes thats right...even the best need breaks. Yes I know it's been a long break....a couple days over 8 months to be exact. But Im back and that's the point. Now we can continue to have the same fun we had a little less than a year ago. We are going to get a little dramatic at times, a little funny, sometimes we may get a little CRAZY and you know what?..................YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!! So with that being said, lets see if I still got it shall we!
My first little rant is going to be used to complain about today's weathermen. I have never thought very highly of them, but they are just down right terrible. Don't get me wrong, some of them seem like very nice people. Dave Carlson would make the best grandpa in the world. Bill Spencer would make a lovely punching bag. And who doesnt like Larry Whatley's pimp stache. But when it comes to the weather, they are more wrong than Wesley Willis on Jeopardy. Yesterday for example, I had to work from 10-2 and I was looking forward to a lovely game of basketball with my peeps afterwards. The only thing holding me back was a little snow storm that was supposedly going to hit around 4 that afternoon. So I get home at 215 and my dad informs me that the storm is indeed still on a collision course with northwest ohio. So I back up my bags and head for UT early, missing basketball. I get up here at 345 and they are still calling for some snow. WELL.....Nothing happens. I wake up the next morning and the ground looks just like it did 14 hours before. NOW YOU TELL ME......HOW IS IT THAT THE WEATHERMEN CANT GET A FORECAST RIGHT 2 HOURS IN ADVANCE?! Your guess is as good as mine but it seems to me that being that far off means that anyone could do their job. Heck if you are so bad as to get the forecast wrong 2 hours in advance, I can see you having trouble getting it right in real time. "Let's take a look out of our 13 action news dumbass cam and as you can see it is nice and sunny out. Lots of people out on the river water skiing...its a wonderful day and it's only going to get better as the week goes on!!" REALLY, the river is frozen over, its snowing like the blizzard of 78, and I'm freezing my ass off because I wore shorts and a cut off due to the fact the weatherman told me it was going to be 105 degrees. OK so thats a little extreme, but someone needs to stand up against the slacking members of society known as "Meteorologists."
There was a time when I was normal believe it or not. I thought like an average joe and I was destined to lead a normal life. That all ended about 14 months ago though. Ill never forget it. It was a chilly november evening....thanksgiving break to be exact. "The crew" (consisting of all 5 of my friends) was getting together at the Shiffert household to watch this show I never heard of before called 24. What the hell right....Ill show up...watch a show I probably wont understand...maybe see a chick or two....it couldnt hurt. At exactly nine o clock that night, my life was taken over by this show. Ever since, my mind has been on 24 rewind, analyzing every angle of the show. If you were to ask me about it now, I could go on forever, telling you anything you wanted to know about the show and ruining any future plots that the show has. Ever since that night, it slowly started to consume my brain. Now if you were to ask me which I preferred....Watching 24 or spending time with a chick....I would probably chose 24. Heck...it's become one of my ecological needs. Food, water, shelter, and 24. So if anyone of you want to try and turn my life around, go ahead, but it's a lost cause. After all, once 24 has you, it never lets go....
I want to wrap up tonight by giving made props to a friend of mine. Her name, and I dont get say "her" very often, is Amanda Fox. Yes thats right...the sister of Shelly Fox...the only other girl I associate with. Anyways, Amanda and I had this interesting conversation online the other night about me being gay and I think I said her dad was hotter than her.......................................... I cant believe I just admitted that......ANYWAYS it was all a joke and she knew that but she decided to take it to the next level and say I was gay and I didnt even know it. To make a long story short, she posted a blog entry of her own which you can find on www.xanga.com about our little conversation. You can find her if you type in LoneTraveler and look under the "users" tab. It is a nice piece. She even said she wanted my jock strap in it, which was a complete random statement but hey...you'll have to take that up with her. So thank you Amanda for the nice article and I'm sure we will have many more interesting convos in the future.
Well I think that's all I have for tonight...It take you back doesn't it....I got a tear in my eye already....Until next time......
Is there really a 13 action news dumbass cam? Did Brian really once lead a normal life, or is he just saying that to look cool? What does Amanda Fox want with Brian's jock strap? Find out next time...same gay time...same gay place!
