The Day that Never Ends......

It just goes on and on my friends. Well here we are. At the day that never ends. Working on the project that never ends. I seem to be getting near the end, but I just can't seem to actually get there. All for a project that will most likely get "skimmed" through. Meaning, put on a shelf.

I have had the pleasure of watching some funny video's today. Would you care for me to share? Ok here are some funny ones.










and this one was funny too.

These along with BikeForums, saved my brain from melting today. I was begining to go crazy, but I am lucky, to have Ted Stevens to help save me. With out Ted monitoring the "tubes" I'd b screwed.

Ok moving on. Have you ever seen one of theses?


We have a similar one at work. I am not sure if I like it, or jsut hate it. It's loud, but semi-amusing. There was no Ice-T left in the Pepsi machine, so I had to go red. Oh well, now I have a drink. But the crazy robot may come alive and attach the office one day.

Be on the lookout for this guy.



That is all. Carry on.

DAYS AND DAYS!

Well now. I has come to my attention that the throngs of adoring fans have be in great sadness over my few day off the blogging. I know this is a new blog, but a dang good one. I mean come on now, I am amazing after all.

It has also come to my attention that I can be described as a"Pretty Boy." I will not deny that I am easy on the eyes. Ok I am BEAUTIFUL! But it is a curse, really. Every day I have to concisely make myself look less attractive. It is hard work. I mean if I didn't there would be mass hysteria on the streets and people would be getting trampled trying to touch me.

lets take a look at the video that brought about such controversy.







AWWWWWWWWWWW. Look at that face. Who doesn't want to pinch those cheeks.

Let me clear one thing up here and now. Yes I am a master piece, Michelangelo's David was a prophecy of me, but he maid the ding-a-ling to small (mine is HUGE!((come on now, you need a penis joke for levity)), But I am not high maintenance.

Ok with my clothing.

I'm not high maintenance with my clothing. Jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. I can't help it I have a knack for finding great clothing at great price (most of my shirts are under $20, now that's frugal shopping. ^and that shirt was free by the way.). But my accessories, you got to be on top of that. I mean come on look at those lime green glasses, they cost me $10.59! Now that's a lot of money! I damn near broke the bank on that one, but it was a must have for the summer months.

OK if you know me, feel free to chime in here.

moving along

What price does style come at? Does it come at the loss of friends, family and pets? No, well not for me. I was born with it! Try as I might to play it off and ugly myself down, I am still a creature of superior being. I am perfect!

Well now, I went and did a little of that work thing, and ate some lunch. i do pack a mean lunch. Now I am back, and no longer feel like ranting about my superior looks and style. I feel like ummm, going for a bike ride with Amy. I am going to go day dream about that now. You can watch more video's of me and dream about how much you want to be me. Just remember, if you cut my face off and try to wear it, you have to moisturize or it will get saggy.
That is all. Carry on.

Now you did it, Jeff is MAD!

Ok now I'm MAD!!! I was minding my own business write in this here blog, and BAM! The Internet Strikes again! I was making text a hyperlink, and something went wrong! Some one get me Ted Stevens ! We need to get this series of tubes fixed!






I hate it when some one tries to jam something to big into the tubes and clogs it up for the rest of us. ARGH! It makes me so mad I talk like a pirate.



Ok let's move past this now. I think I am calmed down. Wait.... AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Ok, done.



Now I think I have found a group to ride my bike with. I am hopefully going on a group ride this Sunday. I am also looking forward to The Scranton Ally Cat 2! Preceded by The Office Ally Cat. I am pretty stoked to do a race. I am to scared to do my first one in a "Big City." I will look like this guy if I do.


And well, we all know I am WAY to pretty to look like that. That's' right I said it. I put it out there.

So now that we have that out of the way, back to business. So I hope to do a bunch of group rides this summer, hopeful the Scranton Critical Mass gets going again. Also I am thinking about doing the Tour de Scranton.

I am thinking about doing the Intermediate level. It is about 17 miles round trip. If I do it, I will be riding it on my fixed gear bike. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a direct drive train bike. I pedal forward the bike goes forward. I pedal backwards, the bike goes backwards. No coasting, no gears. so that means this will be a bit harder.

The real down side for me is, that is in one month, April 26, and it cost $30. Mostly the $30 that is getting me. I know it is for a good cause, but if it were $20, I'd be all in. $30, I'm thinking about it. I'll see if any one else I meet this weekend is going to do it.

Now has anyone watch my latest YouTube videos? I didn't get hurt, but I am thinking of making a beer Sunday series with JT. We have some good outdoor projects for his house planed this summer. We could get hurt, we could build some amazing things. I don't want to ruin the plans in store, but let me know what you think. A Beer Sunday video series can be entertaining. You know we will undoubtedly do something really stupid.

That is all. Carry on.

What to say?

Well now, I think I found a group to ride my bike with. What is that? you're happy for me. I knew you would be. It is me after all. I am the Sun. It all revolves around me.

look here. I started a post and never finished. Well I never Really went anywhere with it at all.

That is all. Carry on.

BEER AND AN OPEN FLAME!!!

So yesterday was my weekly ritual with the great JT. This amazing ritual is call Beer Sunday. Named after the beverage of choice and the day of the week. We rotate from his house and my apartment. Here is the breakdown, we get drunk, play with power tools and build things. Well this week, we were at my apartment, we didn't have anything to build, but JT saw something fun on the internet. It involved fire, hot metal, and empty beer bottle, beer consumption (how else are you going to get an empty beer bottle?), and oil. But we thought ahead! We used eye protection! All of our attempts were of course FAILURES. Which is kind of odd because when we build things drunk, they come out damn near perfect, when we build things sober they come out terrible.

There it is! The answer! We were not drunk enough to succeed! Now I know how to fix this problem!

Anyway, Amy recorded most of our failed attempts. They are funny. They are on YouTube. Here is a preview of some attmepts:


















You get the idea. Head over to YouTube to see us look stupid some more. If you’re to lazy to click the link I will tell you this. None of the attempts worked. we only cracked a bottle in a vertical zig zag after I heated the glass bottle itself in the flame and then used cold water. Oh and we didn't get burned, hurt, or burn my apartment building down. We did ruin some innocent screws and nails though.


That wasn't the whole weekend though! No there was also Saturday! Come on now. You know you re-cap your weekend backwards too.


Well Mr. Rogan planed out a day of fun for a few of us kids in the gang on Saturday. We played "Frisbee Football." I was basically 11 men running around on 1/4 of a soccer field thinking they were all going to die. Ok i'll give some shout outs. Some of the players included Derek, Chris "Risk", Mr. Rogan, J Sly, and a few other I meet Saturday and have already forgotten their names.


This game was interesting. It works like this. Kick off, team gets Frisbee where it falls, teammate must throw Frisbee to another teammate to progress down the field. You cannot run/walk once you are holding the Frisbee. The other team can, intercept, block, smack, well anything to prevent the other team from catching the Frisbee. Once it hits the ground, the other team gets it. And this went on and on and on. You pretty much don't stop running. I am a little out of shape. Ok, ok, ok. I gained like 20 lbs in the past few months; I am an out of shape fat ass. But I'm working on it.


My mode of transportation to the game was this.

And this is what it looked like when I got to the field:

It kind of got turned into a coat rack. There were more hoodies and jackets on it. I wasn't happy. It's ok for me to hang MYstuff on MY bike (the green bag and the blue hoodie), but when a lot of kids who I don't know hang things on my bike, I get upset. The other jacket left on my bike is J Sly's.....he is allowed.

So after all of this physical activity it was time for lunch! The best Italian Deli in town! Cara Mia's. This was a beautiful thing. Derek gave me a ride to the deli in his truck, I didn't want to miss out on the great lunch. I then road my bike home. I was tired.

Friday night my friends band, The Invisible Swordsmen, played a show at the Goal Line Sports Bar in Carbondale. I thought I was going to get raped. I wore a corn hole protector. Scary place, I will not be returning there.

So there is a recap. Be sure to check out the YouTube clips, they involve fire!

That is all. Carry on.

THIS MADE ME SO SAD!

I saw this and I was so sad that I needed to post ASAP.

and this made me laugh.
That is all. Carry on.

TIM HOPES THERE IS NOT A NEW TIM!

So we were invaded today! Ok so not invaded, but Tim had a meeting that ended finishing up in the Video Suit. So I was more or less added to the meeting. It wasn't bad, really. So the company I work for is trying to set up a division in China.


So the CEO and the President that will head up that division where here today. Good news! They really like TIM! So much so that they wanted to me him in person! They didn't care about me. Oh well. I won anyway! I got this for FREE! Directly from China!



Only downside is, it's in PAL! Oh well, I'll watch it on my computer. This left me longing for the days of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. Now that was a.....ummmm...... good time? Yes I was there, in the rain, on the bus that got lost trying to get to the arena. I was there right after the Olympic Village got Bombed. It was a bit somber, but it was more or less a place I wish I wasn't at. Because people are RUDE! Oh and I was 14 and just wanted to ride my skateboard.

Now that brings me to where I am right now. I am at work, and the world outside of work is nice. Now who wants to be stuck inside when there is this to look at?

I want to be out on my BIKE! Or riding my SCOOTER! Or walking with my GIRLFRIEND! But we can't have our cake and eat it to. Well, we can have cake and eat it, but you know what I mean.

Speaking of my scooter. I have a new recruit to the ECR! I finally have someone to ride my scooter with. Elijah from Electric City Tattoo Gallery has his Honda Ruckus back! So now I will not be the only one tooling around Scranton on my Ruckus. Yes you know you want to be one of us. You know you want to ride with the wind in you hair flying down the road at a blazing top speed of 42 MPH.

That is all for now, carry on.

UPDATE!!!!
There is in fact CAKE for me to eat here!

That is all. Carry on.

BRACKETS!

No not these kind of brackets!

This type of brackets.

This word was yelled from the roof tops at work today. Ok well not the roof tops, all along the hallways though. It seems this March Madness thing does create madness! There were all sorts of excited people yelling today. People like fun. Even if it is refreshing a web site every few minutes to yell about who is winning and loosing.

Ok, ok. ok. I can't poke fun, I tried it. I am not hopeful that I made any good picks, but oh well. I am not really sure what's going on. But I have a TV in my office, so I find myself watching a bit of this basketball thing from time to time. I think it is fun that people are stocked about it. good for them. Hell I am a little excited to see how I fair in the end of things.

In other news.

Amy and I have begun our "Walking the Lake" daily event. Yesterday after walking the lake, i ran down to Turkey Hill to get Amy some cigarettes, then ran back home. Yes I did actually run there and back, and if you know where I live you know that is a feet upon its self. Needless to say (but I am saying right now anyway) I slept like a baby last night.

Have you every really slept like a baby? When I really think about it, baby's don't really sleep to well. So saying I slept like a baby, at least in my mind right now, is implying that I was up most of the night, screaming and crying. I had a wet diaper and or was hungry. So I will say i slept like a Lumberjack.

Now that seems more like it. Because after all I slept really good last night.
I guess I should take up a cause. That seems to be what most blogs are about. That or famous people "regular" people want to know more about. Now what cause to take up. I like scooters, and this blog is named after my scooter, Meepers.
I guess that's food for thought. Almost time to go home.
That is all. Carry on.

Blue Task Bars!!!

Did you ever have the week from Hell? Or a few of them in a row? Ok, i won't say i had the "Week from Hell" or even a few in a row, but my work schedule was very busy there for a few weeks. Running around, doing lots of photo and video shoots (ok, ok, ok, i really like doing shoots and they are really fun). Well now they have stopped for a few weeks. I guess I am more mad that i now have to sit at my desk more, especially now that it is getting nice out.

There it is! my real problem, i now have to sit at my desk



all day long instead of running around! That is where this anger and hostility stems from. So now my day is plagued with watching blue task bars load, all day. Or at least it seems like it. I now have to work on the footage I shoot, minus the music videos, they are done, and can been viewed here and here. But the PSA's gain more and more layers by the second, or so it seams, so they take longer and longer to open, render, export, ect.



But I have a job, and I like it. And it pays me ok. So I guess I shouldn't complain. I just need to ride my scooter, The Meepers, and lay down on the couch with Amy and watch a good movie.



If you can notice the change in attitude during the middle of the second graph, that's because i was trying to pay a bill real fast, noticed a crazy charge, then found i had no return envelope, then had to place a phone call (end run on). I was then placed on the phone with someone in India, i could understand her.



After that got all cleared up here I am. attempting to end this blog post, after a total derailment of my mind set. it was marked to go on for a few graphs longer, but I am angered and spinning out of control from where I started.
That is all. Carry on.
