Now That’s What i Call a Tractor!

Good Old Boy, Rough Neck, Country Boy…. Call it what you will I am one I don’t go to the existent of calling my self a redneck or hillbilly cause well those are the people that think wal-mart is part of the government.  I have been in the country my whole life i live and breath it. I am not your typical Country Boy of course due to the profession i am in i do more than just sit around a tire fire talking about there cousins. Truth be known i really don’t sit around tire fires…..yeah. well being a Country boy I have to admit that i do indulge in some of the sporting events. These are not what you would think though but yes NASCAR is one of those events but i hate nascar. what i am talking about is Tractor Pulls. yes good old fashion lets see how much that tractor can pull till it stops Country Sport. i just w For those of you that have never heard of or seen Tractor Pulls its my delight to tell you all about them.  The basic premise of Tractor pulls is they hook the tractor up to a sled that at a slight angled track on it that track is a large amount of weight when they start pulling it the box of weight moves toward the top of the sled and the weight of that starts to make the sled dig in the ground so they are not only pulling all that weight but also pulling against the earth. the goal is to pull 300 feet. that is what they call a full pull. but if they pull past 300 they will either do a pull of at the end. which means they add more weight and pull again or they will just do a floating finish which means who ever pulled the farthest wins. but you might as what fun is seeing a tractor pull a sled of weight. OH well thats the one thing i didn’t mention you to you yet. When i say tractor well some of these the only thing they have in common with a tractor is the frame and wheels. People will put any kind of engine on these things can range from a Modified Tractor engine to a Jet Engine i have see ones with 4 hemi’s on it before amazing seeing such power pulling such weight is awesome. its a great thing to see if you really like to see raw power.

other country sporting events:

• monster truck rallys
• crash derbys
• rodeo’s
• and anything with a gun or fishing pole.

The Ultimate Job.

So recently there has been some things happen in my life that pushed me into doing certain things. These things were not bad things but it put me in a certain role that all us men have been put into and have to hold once we have been put into the role. What role am i talking about?

 

The Man Role

This is a role where it shows up most when you become in a relationship. I am not going to say when you are married cause you can be put into his role with out being married. It just comes out more when you are with someone. I have been doing it and really didn’t realize it till my buddy said yeah “part of the ‘man’ thing“. So for those of you that don’t really know what the man role encompasses here is the list that i have came up with.

 

Man Role (not in any particular order)

1. Cooking on the Grill is your Main Talent.

2. Number 1 use for your shoulder Pillow.  2nd use connect your arm to your body.

3. Fixer of The TV and or any electronics.

      3.1 this also includes you always being responsible for the remote even if you didn’t touch it.

4. Opener of all jars.

5. Official Spider Killer

6. Killer of anything crawling.

7. Checker of any noise in the middle of the night.

8. Staying level headed no matter how freaked out you are to keep her from not freaking out more.

9. Always Making certain sacrifices that she will never know about

10. Always knowing where you are even if you really don’t.

11. (this is a good one) Making the right turn even though its a left just cause she “know” thats its that way. Then going back the way you knew it was.

12. Making her feel good when she is sad.

13. Doing the stupidest things in the world, Total embarrassment & Humiliation just to get a smile.

14. (important one) Loving her even when she is being the biggest pain in the $#%@$.

15. Fully Enjoying every argument you win till the end of time.

 

So that is the criteria for the man role. At least thats my criteria I know everyones is different but i know that every man has them and they don’t stray to far from these. so yeah.

The Wii Fit.

So I now have the Wii Fit. I have used it. I am now sore. I have read many reviews on this. I read them way before i even got one. I took into consideration all the things all the people said about it. Some real health nuts really tore a new one into this. I really don’t know why. I guess the old saying has to be said. “It is what it is.” I bought it go stay active & fit but mostly i bought it to have something to do with christina every day. So far we are doing it we missed one day and it was kinda funny right when we got on it it said “to busy yesterday to workout eh?” kinda funny. did i buy this thinking “Man I am really going to get in shape and become buff with this video game.” no. i knew thats wasn’t going to happen. I think the problem with this is some people are missing the whole point of this cool little system. Youth Obesity is growing in the world cause of freaking video games and parents that love to buy twinkies but thats besides the point. If the kid is not going to go outside and play might as well have them run around in the house instead of sitting on his butt holding a controller. this is getting kids want to exercise and jump around while swinging the remote around. i think its great. That is why i bought it christina & I really have been giving this a solid chance. I did a lot of strength training and running last night and i broke a sweat. so did christina. I’m no health nut i know if you know me you really know how far away i am from being one as well.  but chrisitna and i are really going to go thru with this to really see how it good it works. ill keep you updated on how everything works overtime. but over all if you are looking for a little activity with some chanllenge i recomend this its fun. but the one thing i did do is underestimate it. It is really a hard thing to do keeping perfect balance. so don’t knock it until you have tried it.

So thats what a drug deal is like

So we Finally Found a Wii Fit last night. So my search is over but it gave me a story/experience i would like to share. So we bought it on Craig’s list from some one selling one. This is where it was kinda funny you send a message to some one asking- “you still got it? oh yeah I’m interested where do you wanna meet? ok 5:30 ill be there ill be in a blue ford escape.” So not giving you that story about buying it off craig’s list what does that sound like. Yeah I personally think that this site has helped all of us understand what a drug deal is like. once we get there…”you got the money?” “you got the package? then we gotta deal.” Ok so the real interaction really didn’t happen that way. They were really nice people and all but the intial talk was that way if some one was ease dropping they would really think that i love cocaine. I do love me some cocaine…joking. but i love how this little experiacnce made me realize this. So next time you try to buy something off craig’s list and see what happens in the deal and try to compare it. At the end take out the name of the object you were buying and you just had your self a drug deal.

Congrats.

P.S. As for the Wii Fit we didn’t really get to play with it a lot last night.  christina and i registered ourselves and thats it. ill give you a update when i really start to use it on how great or not great it is.

A really funny campaign

i laughed pretty hard at some of these.  Hellboy & Chuck is the best (video games one)

enjoy

So I’m A Tool.

yeah. I’m a Tool. i have been placing myself in a lot of social networking groups. i originally did it cause i was trying to find the latest and greatest sites and networks for work. now i am updating them all the time. cause i found a site that can update all of these at once. i do keep finding a lot of great sites that could be beneficial but i am finding sites that have no point to them at all. I know these sites are going to be some of the big sites eventually. some sites just like twitter but a little more to it. If you know twitter you know it. but trying to explain twitter and what it does well it just doesn’t make sense when you are saying it. so why do i want to know what you are doing. i just saw you. well any way i am now going to combine a lot of my pages to one so you can just go to the MeaD’s Groups page to click on all the different groups and networks i am connected too now. So enjoy.

Thought-Bubble.

Thought Bubble, Speech Bubble, Text Bubble, So many names for the one thing that makes any picture a comic. and Comics are what i love. Lets get this clear right now.  i love hand drawn comics.  i love the kind of comics that i can comment on the artists strip or panel and they will respond. i am not talking about …”hey gary did you get the new punisher 5043 special edition (while there elastic on there under wear is destined to be over there heads by 3pm.)” there did i paint the right kind of picture for you. i am not talking about the major ones. i love the the underground so to speak. i am the guy that buys all the xeroxed copies of comics the artist is trying to sell at a comicon. yeah thats where they start to get good &  original where real effort and time was spent on each facial expression and panel. So just bare with me i am headed to a point eventually here. so since that crazy thing called the internet came about now people can just put up there own comics for everyone to be viewed. i know if you know me I have jumped on that wagon with Distilled Reality. that the talented Harrison Ambs writes for and the very talented and great…um well I draw it. but doing this it does come with a lot of baggage. what do i mean well we have revamped the comic and we are right now trying to get a new site up and running so the world can read love and laugh at our crazy shenanigans in the comic world. and we have committed to this comic once the site is launched we will be releasing a comic every week thats a big commitment for both of us. i love to doodle, sketch, scribble what ever you want to call it i make little comics all the time. some have a pic & caption and thats it. others i do a whole little strip but never draw anything like that ever again. i have artistic friends and i know they do the exact same thing. so i know you are thinking well MeaD you said you were going some where with this. Well i have created a site where you can take your little one time comic and post them so others with the love of comics can read them too. so i had Harrison help me with this so read the expliantion. i had to say harrison helped me if not you were going to wonder well did he just all of a sudden in the middle of this start caring about his grammer.    

Answer.. NO.

Thought Bubble is a site dedicated to people who love creating, writing, drawing, doodling, and sketching comics. It’s for the person who likes to draw comics, but doesn’t want to commit to a weekly or daily comic with the same style or look. If you really like to write, you can just scribble a little pictures to go along with whatever you feel you need to put down. The opposite is true; put some drawing you’re proud of with a small caption or bubble. It doesn’t matter what your skill level is, all you need is a love for comics in all shapes and sizes. To join, all you have to do is email me so you can start sharing your ideas.

The only rules are; 
a max of one post per day per person.
All Comics MUST be your original artwork 

 

CLICK THE BUBBLE!!!

Thats it i don’t know if you are interested in this i hope you are right now we have a few people that have joined and they are doing exactly what its meant to do they post every once and a while each time its different. i have tried to post a new little comic from a post-it everyday. if you want to join just go to the page and click on the “CLICK HERE TO JOIN” text. i think this has huge possibilities but only if people really like it. and JOIN. 

sorry that was a long one hope you made it thru my horrible grammer ok. (sorry harrison)

Why in the..?

 

So Christina & I have been trying to find a activity we can do. something for the two of us. So as you can already figure out we have decided to try out the wii fit. but the only thing is we can’t find any of them. first of i have to say way to go nintendo i love how you always come out with something and never make enough of them. you have mastered the supply demand thing i have heard about. the think that urks me so to speak is that people buy these things just to sell and charge like double the price. who is that desperate to get a wii fit that they will pay 200 buck for it. i could understand if it was 20 or 30 bucks overpriced so they can make a little profit cause they found it and you didn’t. but crap thats a lot. So i guess if these people are really selling these things for that much way to go on taking advantage of stupid people and i need to get on that wagon.

anywho we are still looking for one ill give you all a update to let you know how it is. cause i know you are dying for my review on this revolutionary device. heh.

One of those Days.

 

This past weekend Christina & I had one of those days that were perfect. i mean no bickering or yelling or disagreements. I am not saying we argue a lot cause we don’t but every couple has a disagreement every once in a while and i saying like you left the toilet seat up again. AHHH. yeah that kinda a argument. So saturday was perfect there were things that went wrong but we spun it and made it good. we started sleeping in cause we were up late watching fireworks the night prior. we got up loafed around a bit. then we left for lexington ohio where her aunt lived we were going to go spend the day with her and watch fireworks that night. so we got there and called her she canceled on us. so we drove by a elementary school. we stopped there for a few hours and just played on the playground. it was awesome. we climbed trees, swang, played on a tire fort. after that we went back home and went to the Mt. Gilead St. Park. played frizbee it was great. i put up some new pics on my flickr of some of the pics i took check them out.

Life is good.

Wal-Mart…High Class Society. Always.

So christina and I went to Wal-Mart last night. we don’t make a habit of going there we hardly ever go actually. but when i do go its always an adventure. right from the start you get there trying to find parking. actually we just try to get to the first empty spot and park. but on the way to the back as everyone has always done sees someone getting to their car and waits. but people at wal-mart will just stop for 10 min waiting for one person to get out of there spot. even though in this scenario  the man was just getting something out of his car to go right back in to the super saving extravaganza. i love how people are so lazy that they will wait 10 min just to save 30 feet of walking. so we get in eventually and its like a white trash emporium i only say white trash cause i saw one man with a white trash tee-shirt that i found amusing. its also the easiest way to spot; Mullets, fanny packs, and the ever so popular cut off tee-shirt that you can see the persons side all the way down to his waist.  but this trip i was mildly surprised to not see any children crying or crying and being beat’n. but we didn’t go near toys so don’t worry there was a child in the store some where gett’n a wooopin some where. i think thats a rule or something if you as a parent don’t see a kid crying or being hit you have to grab yours and do it. to keep the natural order of course. so we got our item we just needed to grab and then headed to the fast check out. which is the best when you really get to hear people for who they are. . . idiots. but everytime im there i always see the baby that is in its diaper and a stained shirt that almost looks like they painted it. and the best part it just stares at you and doesn’t blink but if it does it does it when you do. we paid for our item then we started for the door. . . then the best part i hear some one complaining about there child or something and hear. “I don’t care what they think its my child and ill do what i want to IT.” classic. just plain classic.
