I Am Like A 1 Year Old

So, I invited some friends over to my place this weekend.  My buddy Kevin couldn’t make it - he is taking his son to the zoo.  That is a great reason to decline my invite.  What makes this whole thing blog-worthy is the response I got from Kevin.  Here is him comparing 1 year old Ben to me…

Can’t Mike, taking Ben to the zoo as part of his b-day week.  Listen to this, its hilarious, we can only give him like a gift or two at a time, cause he wont stop playing with whatever he gets and if you try and take it away he gets too pissed to care about whatever else you might give him, so this is gonna take awhile.

But think about it.  Imagine if you went out for Mike’s birthday and tried to take away his beers to give him other alcoholic drinks instead, he’d probably kill you.  Mike is in a lot of ways like a 1 year old I am realizing.  He doesn’t care about anyone else’s schedule, he drinks mostly from a bottle, prefers not to wear pants, unwilling to compromise, likes shinny things….it’s amazing the similarity.

later.

First thing…I need new friends.  These ones know me too well.  2nd, this is awesome and hilarious.  It actually made me laugh out loud while reading this on my Blackberry.  Here is a pic of me and Ben earlier this year.  Another thing we have in common: both ridiculously good looking :)

Emails From An Asshole

Once again, I have to apologize for not blogging in a while.  I have been so busy with work that I have barely had any personal time.  That will wind down at the end of next week though.  Just in time for me to move!  A buddy bought a place downtown and I decided to move in with him.  I will give you some pics on that once I move.  It is very exciting!

To make up for my lack of posting I bring you a website that will change your life.  I mean, this is some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen in my life.  The site is DontEvenReply.com and it is just some dude who replies to ads with asshole-ish responses.  I cried when I was reading these they are so funny!  Here is one of the top rated replies…

Original ad:
WANTED - Microwave
I am looking for a used microwave. WHITE ONLY
From Me to *********@************.org:

I have a LG microwave that I want to sell for $30. I am aware that your ad said whites only, but I am an African American. I sincerly hope that this won’t be a problem for you, and we can put race issues aside and just do business.

Thank you,
Jamal

From Amy ****** to Me:

I am so sorry that you misread my ad. I meant the microwave should be white, because it would match my kitchen.

Amy

From Me to Amy ******:

Oh, so because I am black, you think that I can’t read? It really is amazing that the world we live in is still so racist. I’m sorry, but your insults have left me feeling sick. I don’t think I can sell my microwave to a bigot.

Sincerely offended,
Jamal

From Amy ****** to Me:

I wasn’t suggesting that you couldn’t read. I’m not racist. If you read my whole email you would see that the ad was looking for a white microwave, not a white person. I changed the ad to avoid any confusion.

Amy

From Me to Amy ******:

So now you think that because I am black, I am too lazy to read your whole e-mails. Your racism is overwhelming. You will never get my microwave from me. I will, however, sell you a burning cross for your next klan meeting. Does $20 for the cross sound fair?

From Amy ****** to Me:

I can’t write anything without you being offended! I give up!

From Me to Amy ******:

So you don’t want the microwave?

From Amy ****** to Me:

Will you still sell it to me?

From Me to Amy ******:

I would never sell anything to a racist.

From Amy ****** to Me:

Ugh I’m done with you.

Vegan Housemate
Posted at: 2009-12-16 13:51:38
Original ad:
Hey there! My roommate and I are looking for another housemate. We live in a large apartment in Upper Darby. There are two bedrooms and a spacious living area. The rent is $250 a month, which includes cable, internet, electric, and water.

My roommate and I are both vegans and will only live with another vegan. IF YOU AREN’T A VEGAN, YOU NEED NOT APPLY. We are looking for someone who will help with the cooking, in addition to the rent.

If you are a vegan and want to live with two vegans who respect your personal space, please e-mail us. Include some information about yourself, including your source of income.

From Me to ***********@***********.org:

Hey,

I saw your ad, and I can’t tell you how happy I was to see that there are fellow vegans looking for a roommate. It is so hard to find someone to live with who respects my way of life. Are you guys still looking for someone to live with?

Mike

From Joanna ******** to Me:

Yes, we still are seeking a third housemate. Can you tell us about yourself?

From Me to Joanna ********:

Well, I am a 24 year old male, and I am currently make a living by being employed. It pays well. Now, as I said earlier, I am a hardcore vegan. I totally respect your lifestyle, but I will occasionally eat a veal burger, maybe two or three times a week. I hope that isn’t a big deal. If it is, I can eat it outside, but I will still need to cook it in the kitchen. But besides that, I am easy to get along with. I love watching TV. I hope you guys like CSPAN and late night HBO as much as I do. I also love music, and think I will be a great addition to your apartment.

Mike

From Joanna ******** to Me:

You’re not a vegan if you eat veal. Seriously, veal? That is perhaps the single worst thing a vegan can eat. Calves that are raised to become veal are ripped from their mothers at birth so they get anemia. Then they are starved of milk, food, and exercise. They often are put in crates so they cannot move at all; they just stand and suffer until their ultimate death. Veal goes against everything veganism stands for. How you even consider calling yourself a vegan astounds me.

From Me to Joanna ********:

Well thanks for the veal history lesson. My ex used to bitch to me about veal all the time, so I know all about it. Frankly, I think that is why I enjoy veal. Knowing that the calf suffered so much to make himself that much more tender and delicious for me makes it worth every bite. If I didn’t eat veal, it would probably expire and be thrown away. Then, the calf would have died in vein. You wouldn’t want that, would you. Seriously, veal isn’t that bad. They give the calf a nice safe home to live in. Would you rather they just let the calf just be let loose out in the wild? Then, it would probably be killed by a lion or something. By supporting veal, you are supporting the safe life of cows everywhere.

Seeing as how you got all uppity about the veal, I guess I should tell you that I own two shotguns and an assault rifle for hunting and will need to store them in the apartment. I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but I may as well tell you everything. Don’t worry though, both the shotguns are registered and the assault rifle has the serial numbers filed off of it so it doesn’t have to be registered.

From Joanna ******** to Me:

Don’t worry, you don’t need to tell me anything else because you aren’t going to live with us. I highly doubt there is anything about your life that even makes you close to being a vegan. You’re argument sounds like something a twelve-year-old would say. You’re clearly just claiming to be vegan to live in a cheap apartment. If you really think you are vegan, think again. Vegans don’t hunt, idiot.

From Me to Joanna ********:

C’mon, it isn’t like I’m eating the animals after I kill them. I just kill them because I hate deer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stepped in deer shit - they shit everywhere. They are worse than old people. One time my little brother ate some deer shit because he thought it was beans. We had to take him to the hospital to get him tested for Lyme disease. I’m just killing deer to make Pennsylvania a better, safer place for children. I’m not eating them, so relax. I still don’t eat chicken or burgers or any of that shit. You are really picky about the vegans that you want to live with. So when is the lease for your place up? I’m looking for a place to live for about five or six months, and the sooner I can move in, the better.

From Joanna ******** to Me:

YOU’RE NOT A VEGAN!

From Joanna ******** to Me:

Not eating certain kinds of meat doesn’t make you a vegan. Veganism is a lifestyle which prohibits using any kind of animal product, be it food, clothes, or anything else. Hunting is absolutely unacceptable and your reasons for hunting are ridiculous. You won’t be living at my apartment so give it up.

From Me to Joanna ********:

Wow, I never thought I would find someone as pretentious as Bono, but you take the cake. Next time I bite into a savory beef brisket, I’ll think of you.

Jacket Off

OK, I have been dying over this for quite a few days.  As soon as I watched the new Karate Kid trailer, I thought something was wrong.  SOMETHING IS WRONG!  Who the hell thought it was a good idea for Jackie Chan to tell a little kid “jacket off” repeatedly?  Was this a fucking joke?  I hope so…because it is a good one!  If not, then someone better get fired for not being aware of the joke.  Here is a nice little edit of the trailer…

After laughing for about 5 days straight, I then started thinking about the actual movie. I am a little pissed off that they are redoing the Karate Kid…and making it about Kung-Fu?! All the Asian cultures are the same anyways, right? Dumb! After I stopped being angry about that I started to think about the original movies. There was a song from the second movie that popped into my head. In fact, I sang it with a coworker one morning when we were discussing this movie. You have to remember this song!

Alright, that’s enough randomness for a Saturday.  Get out there and enjoy your weekend!

Drunkest Guy Ever

A whole week without blogging…that’s embarrassing!  I have been ultra-busy working on a project at work.  I did find the time to watch one video that changed my world.  Now, I am a guy who enjoys the drink.  I like getting drunk.  Sometimes I even like to get really drunk.  Every once in a while, it turns into an absolute shit show.  I can say that I have never been this drunk though.  This dude is the drunkest guy ever!

Why Men Cry

The title says it all.  Men don’t cry unless there is a damn good reason.  There is no question that this chart clearly shows there is only one good reason for a man to cry like a blubbering idiot.  This comes to us courtesy of Maxim.

Disturbing Old School Ads

Since I am on this wicked retro kick, I might as well talk about advertising from back in the day.  Seriously - it was down right creepy!  I am not going to give you too much commentary here.  You can make up your own mind.  Weird.  Very, very weird.  My favorite has to be the ad that says how “studies” have shown that drinking sugary cola drinks early in life help kids adjust in their teen years.  Either advertisers were really bold, or people were damn idiots.  These ads come to us courtesy of TheChive.

Friday!

Thank god Friday is here!  This has been my first week back in reality and I am desperate for the weekend.  I need to make this clear - I love my new job!  My co-workers are awesome and the work itself is fun.  It has just been tough adjusting to a normal schedule.  I have also been very busy with my social life.  Big problem, I know!  I need some “Mike” time.  A day that I dedicate to relaxing.  Maybe next week.  Tonight I had a hockey game.  Hockey has been a frustrating experience for quite a while.  I was never great at it.  As a younger man, my greatest skill came with my ability to hit people in open ice.  I would consider that a skill as it takes some serious timing.  Before I took a couple of years off, I was the kind of guy who scored goals.  I knew that if I got the puck that there was a good chance it was going in the net.  I was so confident in my abilities.  These days I have crawled into some kind of shell that I just can’t bust out of.  I seem to get more hesitant with each game.  I am so screwed up that my body just freaks out when I am near the puck.  I know I need to just slow things down and take the puck and take my time and look for opportunities.  Knowing and doing and very different things.  Amazing what confidence can do!  I have it in all other aspects of my life.  None on the ice anymore.  I am thinking I should get drunk before my next game.  I am always a little more ballsy when I have had a few.  Let’s see what happens!  Happy Friday everyone.  If you are in Canada then I know what you will be watching tonight ;)  As usual, here is an SMBC comic that has nothing to do with anything.

Back To Being Employed

One day in and I already miss life as a bum.  For the first time since December of 2008, I am back in the ranks of the working class.  I actually had an excellent day at the office.  Everyone was very nice and it seems like it will be a fun group to be around.  I will get to satisfy my geeky nature while I continue to pursue my ultimate goal of being a firefighter.  It really is the perfect situation.  Hell, my new boss even bought me lunch today!  Not bad at all.  Everything was great right up until 5:30 when I left the office.  In case you don’t live in Toronto, we got hit with a bit of a snow storm.  This wasn’t exactly unexpected, it was on pretty much every weather report you could find.  Somehow this managed to cripple the commute home.  my hour long drive took 2.5 hours to get home!  I needed over an hour and a half just to get to the highway.  On my drive I saw people in ditches, people who had smashed into each other and people who almost ran over pedestrians.  Seriously, we live in freakin’ Canada.  This is freakin’ February.  Why the fuck are we so unprepared for this?!?!?!  It’s snow.  You have seen it before!  Make your dumb ass familiar with it’s properties and it’s affect on your vehicle.  This will come up again in the near future.  Unless you have the memory retention of an eggplant this knowledge will be applicable repeatedly.  Just a tip from your favorite smart-ass!  Now, as is tradition, a web comic that has nothing to do with anything I just talked about.  This is just about how awesome engineers are.  Enjoy!

If Men Wrote Women’s Magazines

I have blogged a lot about the differences between men and women.  Usually I keep the discussion about boobs but every rare once in a while I go a little deeper.  I think women get bad advice when it comes to guys.  The main problem is they usually rely on other women to feed them info.  That’s like the blind leading the blind!  Women can’t tell you how a man thinks.  I read some of the advice given and it makes me cringe.  There is so much subtlety in the way women think and act that we, as men, really have no idea what’s going on.  Women - you operate on some deep levels.  We are impressed.  You have so many layers that it’s amazing you actually want to spend your time with us.  I once actually read a column that suggested a woman ask her man what’s going through his mind when he is gazing dreamily into the distance.  Are you fucking insane!?  Let me tell you what we are thinking: Nothing!  Seriously, we have absolutely nothing going on at this time and we enjoy that.  It’s why we are looking at the wall.  When a woman asks us about our feelings at this time we panic.  CRAP!  What am I supposed to say?  If I tell the truth and admit to thinking about nothing then she won’t believe it and assume I am breaking up with her.  If I come up with something quickly then I wouldn’t have scanned it for any chance it can be related to her weight.  Fuck!  The clock is ticking and she is still waiting for an answer!  Maybe if I jump out off the balcony then it will cause a change in subject.  Hopefully, I proved my point there.  Not all the advice you get about how to deal with men is quality.  If you want to know how a guy would react then just go out and ask a dude.  Although, make sure it is a guy you know.  If you ask some random guy then he will instantly assume you want to have sex with him and he will tell you whatever he thinks is the fastest route to your vagina.  I got the below images from CoolMaterial.  It’s an awesome site geared towards dudes.  These are what women’s magazines would look like if a guy wrote them.  Funny, but very true!
