Ri Rove Rottweilers

I’m a dog man for sure.  Cats….can’t stand em.  About 4 years ago my sister got me a female Rottweiler puppy for Christmas ( I can hear all the awwwwws now).  Anyway, 4 years later and she’s the best dog I could ask for.  She’s well behaved (took a lot of work) super friendly, and silly as all get out.  She loves chasing squirrels, birds, and any other wild animal smaller that she.

Yesterday, MY and I went to Target to get a set of bowls for Onyx when she’s at her house.  While walking down the aisle I stumbled upon a stuffed chipmunk.  First of all it looks real as fuck.  Second it was like $15.  Now I don’t mind spending money on toys for Big O’  but usually the stuffed ones last a few days before she has ripped them apart and I come home to stuffing alllllllllll over my house.  For some reason I decided to go against my judgement and buy it.

Usually when I come home with a new toy Onyx takes a while to feel it out.  It seems like she is asking me, “Is this for me?”  Not this time!  I brought home the Chipmunk and instantly she was jumping around, trying to get it from me (told you it looked real).  I threw it to her and it was game on.

Literally 8 minutes later there was an explosion of stuffing preceded only by the ripping sounds of the mediocre seams on the faux rodent.

Instantly it was game over, no inserting more coins to get extra men, no continues, none of that.  Or so I thought.  Luckily I’m in a relationship with a lovely Martha Stewart-esque lady, she grabbed the saliva soaked mammal and went to town with her needle and thread.  Needless to say 10 minutes after the accident, a full 18-19 minutes after giving it to Onyx, MY had fully repaired and strengthened the chipmunk to “better-than-factory” conditions!  GO M.Y.!!!

Here’s a little video action of the silly girl in action….Onyx, not M.Y.

Speaking of Updates…TAADAAA TU2

Today at work was rough.  I did ENTIRELY too much drinking this passed weekend, and no where near enough recovery.  Today will be nothing compared to tomorrow for tonight at midnight the much anticipated Title Update 2 will be forthcoming.  For those who don’t know, TU2, is a major update to Halo 3 and pwning n00bs is a favorite pastime of mine.  Needless to say, I’ll probably be sleeping from about now until midnight just to store up the necessary energy for the destruction that is EmpiricalM on the sticks!

Actually, now that I think about it…lets make a prediction…

In the last 24 hours a few more than 647,000 people have been playing Halo 3.  And there are 120,905 people online playing right now.  I predict that at the stroke of midnight all the worlds children and gamers will converge in front of their 360′s and power on their systems (or power cycle for the ones who play consistently) and DL the update.  More specifically, w/o the BS, I’m saying that at least 420,000 players will be online playing Halo 3 at or by 12:15 am.  If anyone cares to validate my prediction, which no one will, actually I probably won’t even check, but if anyone wants to, visit www.bungie.net and check out the ticker.

I Want My Babies Back, Babies Back, Babies Back….BARBEQUE SAUCE!!!

OK so this is going to make me seem really weird, and probably will not be funny to anyone but f*ck it, this is my sh*t, and can’t nobody take my pride, can’t nobody hold me down, oh no, I got to keep on movin!!  ah ah ah ah bad boy, 2008….

….sorry, sometimes I get carried away….

Anyway, I’m not even sure how this came up, but my roommate L.J. and some of his friends from back home were joking around about kidnapping babies and eating them, yes, like rugrats.  Well, for some reason I though it was quite possibly one of the funniest things I had ever heard in my life.  From then on, every time we saw a baby one of us managed to conjure up a baby-scarfing sonnet, or infant-ingesting idiom that at very least entertained us, and more often than not made his girlfriend L.G. frown in disgust.

Its been sometime since we made of these jokes.  I don’t know if its the lack of babies nearby or the fact that the Hotel Company L.J. works for treats him like a slave (not one of those well-off house negros either, they work him like a field hand), but for whatever reason it may be we haven’t had much of an appetite for pre-adolescents for quite some time.

UNTIL TONIGHT!!!  My insatiable hunger has been re-stimulated….

My girlfriend, M.Y., and I were having trouble deciding where to eat.  Ultimately we decided on a small, carry-out-like, BBQ joint. We got there and quickly I found the succulent aroma of smoked beef, pork, and chicken wafting to my nose ever so delicately.  I knew I was in-store for some goodness.  We looked at the menu and I was overwhelmed.  We both took about 5-7 minutes and finally decided on getting a bunch of food to try and whatever we didn’t eat we’d bring home.  I ordered ribs.  M.Y. ordered “Rockland’s Pearl” which consisted of Barbequed Baked Beans under Macaroni and Cheese under Pulled Pork, all in a bowl with BBQ sauce.  (I know, it’s sounds, and I’ll admit, looked disgusting but to her credit, she didn’t know it all came in a bowl when she ordered it.) We ordered an Vegetable Platter to share so we could taste some of the other sides.  It was all pretty good.  Pretty decently priced as well.

Check out the receipt…

BABIES?!??!?!?!!!!!! YESSSSSSS!  DELICIOUS!

UPDATE – Big Trouble…

I got a few more details…..

On top of his usual disrespectful and disobedient antics Thomas (see “”) was also showing off and dancing around the room (Moonwalking) before the teacher called his mom.  Apparently, when his mom got to the class, she burst through the door and pointed him out as I mentioned before but also was asking the rhetorical question “So you wanna moon dance? You wanna moon dance huh?!”

Also, the administration has sort of asked everyone to be hush-hush about the situation but everyone I’ve talked to about it has all said a variation of the same thing “What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.”  Like I said, he deserved it.  No one has had a problem out of him yet!

Big Trouble in Little China….

Ok, so I’ve already mentioned that I work at a school.  For my protection the school shall remain nameless.  All names referenced from here on out are fictitious.

The school I work at is a uniform school.  All students attending are expected to wear a uniform comprised of a white shirt (polo or sleeved), navy slacks/shorts, white blouse for the girls, and plaid skirt or jumper as well.  A stipulation to the uniform policy is that all shirts must be tucked into the uniform, if the shirt is out you are out of compliance.

Plenty of kids are “out of compliance” everyday, most just need a quick, “tuck that shirt in” and its no problem.  One kid in particular though stands out.  EVERYDAY his shirt isn’t tucked in, EVERYDAY teachers have to talk to him about behavior issues, and EVERYDAY he has an attitude when you ask him to do something.  Lets call this kid Thomas.

Now Thomas’ teacher, lets call her Ms. Edwards, what a piece of work Ms. Edwards is.  Last year was her first year in the building and to say it was a rough year for her would be doing those kids that put her through hell a disservice.  Can you tell how I feel about her?  ANYWAY, her classroom management skills are severely lacking.  Well I guess, from what I was told, yesterday she had enough from Thomas and had to make a phone call to his mom.  Apparently that when the laws of physics stopped working, gravity was no longer a factor, and the proverbial sh*t started flying upwards towards the fan.

Apparently Mom came to the building with a vengeance.  Apparently Thomas has been acting up at home as well and she’s sick of his little ass as well (as am I).

FROM HERE ON OUT I MAY HAVE DETAILS WRONG, I WAS NOT IN THE BUILDING AND DID NOT SEE ANY OF THIS

Supposedly she burst through the classroom door like Beanie Wells (pre-toe injury) through the line, and scoped the situation.  Immediately she pointed out Thomas and bounded over to him and began “choking the sh*t out of him” followed with a few slaps and ended with dragging him out of the room by his ear, literally.

Now I’m sure plenty of you our there are thinking, “Oh my God!?” and normally I’d have to agree with you, but this kid deserved it.  I don’t even know what his little bad ass did but there is no doubt in my mind he needed it.  Nothing anyone in the building has tried has worked to calm this kid down and keep him on task.  Nothing.  That being said….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It’s all the way live where I work….all the way!

Mi Post Primero

My first post, well sort-of.  What’s up?  I suppose some background info is in order, not that it matters because anyone that is reading this either stumbled upon this randomly and my background doesn’t matter to you, or you already know me and therefore don’t need any background info.  But just becuase I like to hear myself talk (like all other Bloggers and wanna-be Bloggers) here it is.  I’m a 20 something year old graduate of a fine Institute of Higher Learning, Go Hokies!  Born in the 80′s, raised in the 90′s so I’ve seen my fair share of Saturday morning cartoons, and video games, 1 hit wonders and habitual chart toppers, styles, fads, and flops, all of which helped make me who I am today.  ::CHYEAH!!::

Just like any 20 something anyone, I like having fun, so in my free time I like kickin’ it with my friends and/or my girlfriend, listening to music, working out, watching movies, shopping for shoes or anything for that matter, throwing the football, pwning n00bs, Photoshopping, learning, and making people laugh, maybe I should have been an actor.

I guess I am, well, sort-of

I’m currently employed by the largest county in my state and I work in it’s Public Education System, in an Elementary School (I promise you, I’ll get to more of that in the future, which is why I’m not dropping names.)  I like being able to be at good role model for the kids (told you I was an actor) and the interactions I have with them, kids can actually teach you a lot.  But I’d be lying to myself and to you if I said I plan on doing this forever.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I’m not sure what I want to do.  I have a lot of ideas of roads to take, but my GPS was delayed in customs coming from Japan, so for right now I’ll try a few and see where I WE end up!

In the meantime, my goal is to share a little bit of me, with a lotta bit of you through the wonderful world of Wi1l’s Weblog in conjunction with WordPress!   ENJOY!
