the 2nd best loser

I went to Rocket night last night and got 2nd place...in the losers game. I got 13th in the main game. That's pretty much my worst finish ever. But if you take the 1 and 3 numbers from my 13th place finish and add them together, then subtract the 2 from my 2nd place finish from that sum, then divide that total by the number of games I played (2) , you get the number one, which basically means I got first place.
And people question the relevance of learning math in school.

wrong number

Phone Rings.
Man: Hi, this is Dan Burns.
(Silence)
Adam: Hi.
Dan: Do you have a moment to talk?
Adam: Sure.
Dan: Good. Let's talk about the details of that life insurance I was telling you about.
Adam: I think you have the wrong number.
Dan: Is this ***-2545?
Adam: No, this is 2525.
Dan: Oh. I was thinking you didn't sound like Latoya Blue. Thanks for your time though.
Adam: Okay. Bye.

Three conclusions I came to after this conversation:
1) I'm glad I don't sound like Latoya Blue
2) I'm glad my name isn't Latoya Blue
3) It's a good thing that the man made this mistake selling life insurance and not drugs....well.....it's good for him at least.

finally! something that doesn't suck

Last Friday I went and bought myself a bass guitar. It's beautiful. It's a Musicman Sterling bass which means it's very quality. Musicman does not make low end basses. I got it for $650 which is a good $250 less than it is worth. It's in great condition and is a super cool color. You'll just have to see it.
Oh yeah, and I snuggle with it at night.

a child sized snorkel

The other day I was riding across the Hawthorne bridge. Part way across, my companions and I saw a woman up on the guard rail, walking as though on a balance beam. At first I thought, "Maybe she doesn't realize that if she falls to her left she's going to have only a few seconds to think about her stupidity before she floats away with a mixture of water and feces known as the Willamette River." But when I looked closer, everything made sense. I really shouldn't have made such a quick judgment about her. She wasn't stupid. She was taking major safety precautions in her adventurous act.....and by "safety precautions" I mean she was wearing a child sized snorkel.

let's not do that again

Bloody Hell! I just wrote a very negative email about my day sucking and this stupid computer erased it! That doesn't help anything.

there goes the bumper

Some joker let his friend borrow his truck who then did a hit and run knocking off my front bumper but was seen by my neighbor who got the lisence plate number so I could track him down and get the insurance info whoch I did that ended up giving me $700 plus a another $100 for parts at a junk yard instead of the possibly $300 that I would have got if I sold it since it needs $1000+ worth of transmission work so it ended up being a better deal and now I can buy a bass guitar........
