Happy Sunday everybody. I hope your weekend has went well. Just the other day at work, I went to walk someone into the bay at the fire station. Sounds completely boring and uneventful …. right? Wrong. As I walked in front of the station, taking the short cut in between the bushes and the flag pole, you guessed it. I walked straight through a“BIG-A” spider web. Now I’m not talking about one of those little teeny-tiny sissy string webs. I’m talking about one of those “I just knocked over a quickie mart, car jacked a city bus, and slapped that old winch aunt May in the mouth and spider man’s pissed” kinda webs. Notwithstanding the fact that I am DEATHLY AFRAID OF SPIDERS, I tried to continue walking and act like nothing had happened…..but then it hit me. You know what I’m talking about, that, “holy crap that little 8-legged ninja of nasty is somewhere on me” feeling set in. So I spin around doing the “vertical seizure, somebody please get it off me” dance. Kinda emasculating.
All this got me to thinking. Now, I’m not one to question God, and I know he has a master plan and design for all things, but I think I found a flaw. Spiderwebs should be a bright color. A bright color like hot pink maybe. Then, when you walk around a corner, you can see it. You can duck or walk around it. Trap, embarrassment, and I think I just pee’d a couple drops, avoided. I can hear you saying, “but all the insects could avoid it too and the spiders would starve”. I thought of that too. God could make all insects colorblind. They aren’t the smartest creations anyways. Let’s face it, they are almost at the bottom of the food chain, and as far as brains go, they land somewhere between roast beef and Paris Hilton. Taking the ability to see color, assuming they can already, would not be that devastating to them. Hot pink spiderwebs would make it so everybody could see them except the insects they were designed to trap. Problem solved. I’m just sayin‘.

Usually on Sunday I step out and use my I’m Just Sayin’ to sound off on someone or something that has caught my eye. Well, this week I’m going to sound off on ….. myself. Yesterday was my 100th post. The only problem with that is I started my blog on August the 10th of this year. That means that I have been posting entirely too much. I do not want to get myself burnt out. I really enjoy blogging, but like anything else in life, moderation is the key. So beginning this week I am going to slow down a bit. My goal is to post about 3 times a week. I do not want to sacrifice quality for quantity. I’m still in the process of deciding which daily themes I want to continue. Some of them are really fun to do. If you have a favorite theme or a suggestion, let me know. And again I just want to say thank you for taking time to read my nonsense. If you like it, please tell a friend, if you don’t like it, tell me. I hope everyone has a great week.

It’s Freakin’ Friday people! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!?!?! This week went by pretty fast. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I’ve been really busy this week. I’m not sure next week is gonna be any better, but next week will happen next week. For now, I’m taking a 3 day weekend. So I’m sitting at home on my big fat arce, starring at my beautiful 
Welcome back and happy Thursday folks. This week has been a very busy one but has gone by fairly quickly. Thankfully, we’re starring done the barrel of another weekend. But, before we get ready for the weekend, I need to take care of a few things. I need to take just a few moments to say thank you to a few people who have made this week memorable.
Happy hump day my homeys! We’ve made it half way once again and I am soooo looking forward to this Saturday. Being such a huge football fan and being from the south, obviously I love the SEC. The SEC is the strongest conference in the nation, in my opinion, and this weekend has some of the toughest match ups this season. So, with that said, here’s a Special All SEC Edition of Wagering Wednesday.
R. Kelly can’t read?!?! What? Did you see this? While giving a motivational speech in Chicago (reason#87 the Olympics aren’t coming to Chicago) he said that he can’t read. Did he really admit that he’s illiterate? Before you jump on me for my grammar, that’s different. The fact that I have a tendency to ramble on and use run on sentences has nothing to do with the fact that a CELEBRITY/Millionaire can’t read. I’m amazed. How does this happen? Just because you can sing, you don’t have to be able to read?
Happy Monday! It’s already time to take a look back again. These weeks are going by fast. I saw this video this week and it brought back some good memories. Remember watching the Super Bowl and seeing this commercial for the first time? Hope you enjoy. Have a great week.
Hey guys. It’s Freakin’ Friday! I hope you have had a good week, mine hasn’t been too bad. This week I got to attend a training class that I have really been looking forward to. The class is called Kinesic Interview Techniques. It’s a class that teaches how to spot deception during an interview and interrogation. This class was awesome. Have you seen the Fox show Lie to Me? Ever thought, “that’s bull@$#”? Well, guess what? It’s not. It’s based off of studies and work of Dr. Paul Ekman. Why did I tell you that? Because the guy that taught my class, Stan Walters, studied with Dr. Ekman. We learned a lot of the verbal and nonverbal clues, and the difference between deception and stress markers. Part of the class was watching interviews of famous people in an attempt to spot deception. Some the interviews we saw were with O.J. Simpson, Alex Rodriguez, Courtney Love, John and Patsy Ramsey, and Bill Clinton to name a few. After learning what to look for, it was amazing seeing the interviews. This really was one of the most fun classes I have ever attended. The class is broke up into four phases and this was just the first phase. I can’t wait for next phase. And man are my kids in trouble. Let them little brats lie to me now. It always amazed me how something could get broken, yet no one knew how. It just “happened“. Some people say they have gremlins that live in their house and break stuff, steal socks, and eat cookies without permission in their children’s bedrooms. Well, not me. I have an apparent illegal Russian immigrant. Maybe you’ve heard of him, I think his name is Idunno Itvotunmi. I was getting tired of looking everywhere in my house for this little 
First, thank you Wilford Brimley. For reminding us all these years that “Diabeetus” is serious. And that we should “check our blood sugar and check it often, there just ain’t no reason not to”.
Thank you Jessica Simpson. For reminding us that for less than cost of a cup of coffee a day you too could help….
And finally, thank you So You Think You Can Dance Contestant #22036. For showing us that only jumping up and down while screaming and flailing your arms to celebrate moving on to the next round of the competition is not enough. Apparently, showing one’s dirty dug out on national TV is appropriate. Does anyone else feel the sudden urge for roast beef ?
