Find Your Spot
I got this from webgrits. Thought it was kinda cool. Looks like they’re trying to tell me I need to move to either Texas or Florida. But my favorite two are #12 (which I like to call “the place to be”) and #24 (aka Paradise City). I think it’s pretty neat that it chose those two especially. Must be a fairly accurate little quiz.
Ideal Places For Bone To Live
1. Brownsville, Texas
2. McAllen, Texas
3. Charleston, South Carolina
4. Augusta, Georgia
5. Orlando, Florida
6. Gainesville, Florida
7. Corpus Christi, Texas
8. Galveston, Texas
9. Deland, Florida
10. Savannah, Georgia
11. Clearwater, Florida
12. Long Island, New York (Is it any coincidence that the only northern area that comes up is this one? I think not.)
13. Bradenton, Florida
14. Daytona Beach, Florida
15. Houston, Texas
16. Bryan-College Station, Texas
17. Tulsa, Oklahoma
18. Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi
19. Sarasota, Florida
20. El Paso, Texas
21. Louisville, Kentucky
22. Jackson, Mississippi
23. Athens, Georgia
24. Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Roll Tide, babee!)
Take the short quiz and find your spot!
“Would you like to live in Houston, where the cowboys come to town? Or maybe Pensacola, where the sun shines all year ’round? Or even New York City, where the city never sleeps?”

Too Short and VD
No, this is not my tribute to the original West Coast rapper and his struggles with um… well, whatever. It is my description of the weekend. They never seem to last long enough.
The Seinfeld/Chick Quandary
Reading Kerry’s post about women and Seinfeld made me realize something. It all basically comes down to this: When I like them, they don’t like Seinfeld. When they like Seinfeld, I don’t like them. There has only been one exception so far. But I guess we all have things we regret until the day we die.
My first time
Well on Saturday night, I had my first break and run out ever in 8 ball. Admittedly, that is kinda sad, considering how many games of pool I’ve shot over the years. But still it was a big moment for me. I really should ASCII the shot I made on the 8, too, because I had to go rail-first then contact the 8 and knock it in the side pocket. It was ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreths percent pure luck.
Do you enjoy being googled?
I had a really bizarre dream Saturday night about a girl I only went out with once or twice when I was in eleventh grade. I probably haven’t seen her since high school, and didn’t even know her all that well at the time. She was a year older than me. I guess that this could only mean one thing… I’ll have to google her and see what I can find out.
Two Weeks Until VD
I ventured into our new Wal-Mart Supercenter for the first time last night after church. $91 later, I escaped. Ugh. Anyway, Valentine’s stuff is all over the place, obviously. It’s two weeks until VD! How do you feel about this holiday? What are you doing this year? What am I doing? What do you hope your significant other does for you? What is the best Valentine’s gift/surprise you’ve ever received?
“And I don’t think I have ever seen a soul so in despair. So if you want to talk the night thru, guess who will be there…”

Seinfeld… Four! Two!
Jerry Seinfeld is coming to the BJCC in Birmingham Saturday, March 12, at 7:00 PM. Tickets went on sale this morning at 10 AM.
I got two! Woohoo! I saw him back in 2002 in Nashville. I hope he does some new material. Now I’m gonna be sitting here reciting all my favorite Jerry routines all day… not that I don’t do that most of the time anyway.
“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go downtown. When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry seems to help, I know… downtown…”

Aw yeah, I’m glad I put this tape in…
Exchange between the me and the cute cashier at FYE tonight:
Me (hiding the CD behind the counter): “Could you scan this without actually looking at what it is?”
Her: “Um, sure.”
(I hand it to her. She looks at it and laughs.)
Me: “This is so embarrassing.”
Her: “I just have one question. Why?”
Me: “I don’t know. It was only $9.99, and I used to have it on cassette.”
Her: “Well, at least it’s not disco. Have a good night.”
Me: “Oh, don’t worry. We will.”
So… can you guess what CD it was?
Stop! Hammer time! 
WOOOOOOO!!!! This makes me so happy. You have no idea. That’s how we’re livin’ and you know, you can’t touch this!
“I see her face and I can’t let go. She’s in my dreams and my heart, so let me know, have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her? She’s a thought and a vision in my memory. I haven’t met her, but tell me where could she be?”
