Gone for a minute, now I’m back again…

“Gone for a minute, now I’m back again…Back to back, back to break backs again…”

-Ludacris (from one of my favorite Luda songs: “Girls Gone Wild”…iTunes it)

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the blogosphere, at least as an author. For starters, I’ll just start with one of my favorite blog topics, “Random Thoughts from the mind of this Guy.” So, here goes:

Random Thoughts from the Mind of this Guy.

  • Lady Gaga. = One hell of a singer, one hell of a wierdo. I was totally okay with all of her antics until the VMAs last week. The crazy outfits & wild performances are manageable, but then she dressed like a dude. For someone who’s had rumors of her being a he-she/hermie/Chaz Bono wannabe, I’m not sure that’s the best route to go. If Beyonce’s baby comes out white, Jay-Z ought to know who to go to first…Gaga-man.
  • Bye-bye Blackberry. Recently the wifey and I upgraded to the iPhone 4 from the Blackberry Storm. No contest. Yes, the iPhone 4 is 2 years newer than the Storm, but I’m hooked and will never go back. Since about 2006 or 2007, I’ve used nothing but Apple products, laptops, work computers, school computers, etc, so I had really wanted the iPhone and I finally did it. From the built in GPS, iPod, Pandora at ALL times, hulu+ & netflix capabilities, and Angry Birds. About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I was in the top 350,000 out of over 14,000,000 Angry Birds players worldwide. Embarrassment or accomplishment???
  • Lil Wayne vs. Jay-Z. I do enjoy rap, especially Lil Wayne. My wife and I bonded over it during our first date. Yes, you read that correctly. So apparently they have some beef between them now. How dumb is the general public? They BOTH have new CDs out. This is purely a publicity stunt…it’s pretty obvious to me. They both put songs on their CDs about each other, and everybody goes out and buys them BOTH to see what all the fuss is about.
  • Roscoe. The wife and I have a cocker spaniel named Roscoe. He’s basically our child and we treat him that way. If we leave him at the house, we promise to bring him something back. How pathetic are we? Since he has to be groomed (we get him buzzed, not that “proper” cocker cut that leaves him long underneath), and we’ve been a little bad about doing it this summer, I pulled out the scissors to see if I could do it last night. Epic fail. Honestly, he looks more comfortable (because of the heat), but let’s just say he’s not aesthetically pleasing. Luckily, my Pops (yes, we call him that) has a pair of clippers and tomorrow, I’ll try to fix my mistake. For now, he’ll have to look like a pound puppy.
  • Columbia media. W.T.F. If you don’t know, I’m a Clemson grad. A damn proud one at that. The wifey’s from Durham, NC, and has lived in the Columbia area with me since last July. She’s not used to the backwards media that we have around here. We don’t get the local paper, “The State,” at our house, but my parents do (they’re about 20-25 minutes down the road). Wow, every single day, the top 25% of the front page is something about the Gamecock football team. Seriously, is there not other news going on in the world? (Failing economy, war in Libya, just to name a few) So to you, Columbia Media. You’re pathetic. This is part of the reason that the wifey and I would love to move to the upstate to get away from this crap.

For tonight, that’s it. I’ll hopefully be getting around to doing this a few times a week, keeping it regular this time.
