Kati just sent me these pictures from my buddy Chad’s bachelor party.

Normally we don’t sit with our arms around each other like we’re doing in this photo. Girls just have a tendency of saying, “get in close” every time they have a camera in their hands.

You’ve got to bite those beads to make sure they’re real.

Tonight on my way in I met this guy who just moved into one of the apartments on the top floor. He seems like a nice enough guy. In the process of our conversation he asked me if I had a wireless Internet connection. When I told him I did, he offered to give me $20 a month to use it. I said that sounds like a great idea. I’ve got more than enough Internet to go around.

Now I can add Internet service provider to my resume’.

Last night I saw a girl working at Publix with a broom stick that had a tennis ball attached to the end. She was walking around the store rubbing the tennis ball on the floor to remove all the black scuffs left by the shopping carts.

No wonder it cost me nearly $4 for spaghetti sauce.

Since I’ve started training for this half-marathon again, I’ve also started taking a multivitamin. Surprisingly since I’ve also increased my fluid intake, I’ve not seen the normal results that happen when you start taking vitamins.

I guess my body is just using all of them.

If you’re reading this, then I am able to post to my website via email.

After spending the evening playing games with a few friends last night, I learned that every time my friend Chad burps, he says my name as he’s belching. He does this because he says it’s funny. Also he does this because he’s a freak.

Why don’t you go ahead and give it a try?

I heard on the radio today the answer to the age old problem of your sponges and the brushes you use to clean your dishes being the dirtiest things in your kitchen. It’s so simple, it made me think to myself, “duh, why didn’t I think of that”.

Just nuke your sponges and brushes you use to clean your dishes in the microwave for two minutes on full power, it kills all the germs. You can do this and extend the life of these simple kitchen items out forever.

Since I just got over this cold, I’m thinking maybe I should nuke my toothbrush too. Then again, maybe I could just buy a new one. 

UPDATE: Make sure you wet the sponge. People are setting thier microwaves on fire.

I picked up The Final Solution: A Story of Detection by Michael Chabon from the bargain book section of Barnes & Nobel the other night. The Synopsis left me knowing that this book wasn’t going to be anything amazing: 

“In deep retirement in the English countryside, an 89-year old man, vaguely recollected by the locals as a once-famous detective, is more concerned with his bookkeeping than his fellow man. Into his life wanders Linus Steinman, nine years old and mute, who has escaped from Nazi Germany with his sole companion: an African grey parrot. What is the meaning of the mysterious strings of German numbers the bird spews out-a top-secret SS code? The keys to a series of Swiss bank accounts? Or do they hold a significance at once more prosaic and far more sinister?”

But priced at just $5 and only 130 pages, I figured that this would just be some quick light reading. However, to my surprise the author has outdone himself in his overuse of unending sentences and a hefty vocabulary. I’ve found it easy to get lost in the task of reading this book rather than the actual story. None of the characters have developed into anything worth caring about, and I’ve lost interest in the non-involving plot.

My review may change after I actually finish the last 30 pages of this book, but unless there is a spectacular ending I’m giving it 1 parrot out of five.

I just added some hardcore rap as my song on my MySpace page. I figured that it’s been awhile since I’ve rocked the rap music. You know, jJust because I prefer Alternative Rock, I’m no hater.

Check it out, and ask to be my friend. www.myspace.com/blakeroberson

Since I’ve had this cold, I’ve gone to the bathroom several times and noticed that I’ve had a bunch of boogers hanging out of my nose. While I realize that this is just part of being sick, if you happen to notice this, be a pal and let me know that I’ve got bats in the cave.
