Music Television My Ass...

Well late last night I was working on my computer, the annoying chatter of whatever crappy TV show was driving my insane. I grab the clicker thinking a little music might be nice. I have cable with MTV , VH1,MTV2 and whatever else.
Anyhow, I hit MTV first. I have know that for some 10 years or so MTV (Music Television) has been anything but, having sold there rock souls for pretty people and corporate sponsors. But I figured it might be like that ugly girl back in high school, you know the one you only took out to places you wouldn't be seen together with, but just to avoid being alone you broke down and did it anyway. Yeah, so I figured, like ugly high school girl, MTV was embarrassed to be associated with the dirty little music video, the thing that's been kicked to the side by society and replaced with the prettier things in life such as Tila Tequila and those precious little sweet sixteener's . But alas, even at such late an hour as this, no music on MTV. Oddly enough there are more ugly high school girls (mostly wanting to be "MADE" into something not ugly) on the channel than music.

Perhaps VH1 may offer me some musical entertainment... Hmmm... No music to be heard but some semi nude models were bopping to the music(sticking with it for a sec), music stops camera pans to Ben Steins big ass head. Oh yes, I've stumbled upon the "Smartest Model Show" holy, freakin', A. You got to be shitting me. Now hey, I'm not here to say models are stupid and all that, really they have proven that fact over and over again, no need to beat a dead horse, or pump coke into its veins. We get it some people can be gorgeous and smart, but what the hell does this show have to do with music at all. Admittedly for me, VH1 has never been a real music station but I thought I might get lucky. It seems, after checking their schedule I would have to sit through crap like, Gotti's Way, Smart Models, Salt-n-Pepa, really Salt-n-Pepa and last but not least the beautiful the talented New York. I haven't seen somebody represent their race in such an outstanding, uplifting manner, since, well, since Pee-Wee's pee wee incident. New York is such a savior to her people. Years and years of oppression and degradation are wiped away with one obscenity laced sentence and big arsed sashay. So sum it up I would have to watch until Sunday to have any hopes of seeing some f'ing music on VH1. To correct myself, after looking at their schedule online they do play videos at 6 in the morning. Whatever.

The last thing I was going to try was MTV2. Now MTV2 was started for record labels that had big artist already making them millions but found that they had far more artists that couldn't sell water to a man whose teeth were on fire. Actually I will admit from time to time I've caught MTV2 playing in the commercial pond and playing some good artists, usually their B-sides and less no stuff, which I suppose is cool. But lets face it, how many bjork videos to you have to see before you write a station off as crap. Those who like Bjork I'm sure she's a great artists, her moans and squeals tug at all our heartstrings and draw the life force from us all. One thing I will say for MTV2 at least they still attempt to somewhat live up to their moniker and act like a music station, a music station with shit for taste, but music a music station none the less. For you supporters of MTV2 out there, you bunch of ragtag, beatniks... Just because you call something "eclectic" doesn't mean you should really be into it or that its something cool to be into. Eclectic is just a term made fashionable by record labels that had no other way to poetically describe the depths to which their music sucked.

Well what I suppose I'm trying to figure out is this. When did it become alright for television companies to totally fuck us over in regards to our beloved televisions and their content. How long will it be before I have to watch the cooking channel if I want to get the latest scores, or the travel channel to see tips for fixing up my home, or how long will I have to watch ABC to find anything at all worth a shit on their network. Come on, TV is supposed to be easy, you want sports bam, ESPN. You want crappy man hatin', women empowering programming, slap, your have lifetime. You want music, screw yourself. You'll have to settle for Tila and New York whoring around, Super smart models and more people hoping a music channel will get them "made" into something other than their pathetic selves. Hey, here's a novel idea MTV how about trying to get a video "Made" to air when people are actually watching your station. That's it, If I didn't need TV to stay alive I'd go all Elvis and put a bullet through the screen.

Ohh, Mrs. Tequila.,

Why Work Sucks. My own fault really.

I'm not going to spell out what I do for a living or where I do it. Not out of fear of being fired, but more out of respect for the people who may read this not really having known how much a pain in the ass they really are. I work in a customer sales oriented type of job. I don't dislike customers as much as I dislike ASSHOLES. Now some people in the customer service industry may not feel that there is a difference, basically.... Customer=Asshole. But for me, I realized a long time ago that you need customers to make money and the sooner you can get along with that theory the better. That being said, I would like nothing more than to jam a screwdriver into the ears of some customers just to see their face. Okay, perhaps a bit much but really, I'm no magician "Hey Mr. X. I'm sorry but I'm just not going to have your $%^^ ready today...What's that. Well I'm sorry but.... Really, there's no need to....." click. You know what Fuck Mr. X and and Mrs. Y that bitch. People, realize that just because you are paying for a service, I'm far to tired and overweight to bother with bending over and kissing your ass. Really, be happy with a handshake and be assured that I will do everything I can to complete your job in the fashion you expect. I'm no fucking magician, I don't care enough about you personally to stay late and sacrifice my personal and family time and, listen really closely customers.... ready for this.... its a shocker...... Tomorrow is another day! Really and if you die in your sleep what the hell good did ruining my day yesterday do for you now. Huh, when you just write the things as they fall off your chest and hurl out your mouth, it almost sounds mean and threatening. I'm not a threatening guy, just a frustrated on, having to put up with insensitive customers, crap pay and too much work. Well from now on, I'm wearing a tool belt, and trust me my job doesn't require me too. I'm also going to Walmart on my way home, purchasing a nice set of cheap screwdrivers, enough to fill every pouch of my leathery tool sack. Maybe some nice rubber handled drivers, nice cushioned grip, nice weight, could be plunged or thrown like a lawn dart.

Who am I kidding. I need the money, no matter the sum. Its nice to dream though. I suppose its not that bad really. I come in late, take long lunches, leave early. If it wasn't for the damn shit eating customers my frustration wouldn't build to the point of eruption. But thankfully I always feel resolved after putting my frustration into words. Customers of tomorrow, thank the world of blogging, your ear canals shall remain safe for yet another day.

Hey and if you are one of those people lucky enough to enjoy your jobs, what can I say.... Piss Off!!

This weeks Journeyman... Keep Journeyman Alive!

After being warned in episodes past by Livia about changing things he wasn't meant to, this week Dan truly finds out why.  After leaning that a young Aeden Bennett, had been an abused child while flashing back to him as a child.  He had so many choices to make.  It seems he made the right ones again.  I found myself wondering though;  Had he been able to save him as a child would he have flashed back to his kitchen with a dead FBI agent on his floor, and how could this have been explained.  I suppose that's why they chose not to write it that way.  I'm glad to see that Dan's brother Jack has been finally opened and enlightened to Dan's situation.

My main complaint with Journeyman is the constant stress that gets played out between Dan and his wife Katie.  I mean we get it.  We can all assume how hard this situation would be for both of them to be in.  To make it an issue in every episode will deffinately get old quick.  They need to find a way for them to resolve the difficulty of their situation and focus more on the true essence of the show.  It makes me glad that Sam Beckett of Quantum Leap fame wasn't married... Could you imagine if every episode was interrupted with Sam trying to get Al to find his wife for him.  Anyway, I still think Journey man is an excellent show.  For the most part they handle all the jumping around very well and keep the story relatively easy to follow.  Now if they can just take care of explaining a bit further the presence of the now Dead FBI agent that was poking around, I'll be happier.

Journeyman will be off next week. I suppose its to make room for the Heroes finale.  Be sure to tune in, in 2 weeks.  I'd hate to see this show only last one season.  With a little fine tuning I feel Journeyman could become a very interesting drama as the seasons continue.

WWSD... What will Sylar do?

This weeks Heroes tied up some more loose endings, which seems to be what this show is all about.  What role will Sylar play in the finale of this season?  How did he find Suresh's house? Well tune in next week to find out this and more.

A few questions I had after this chapter ended: Why didn't Monica just sneak out of the window she came in?  Why did Peter take the story of Adam being on the bad side of the story so wrong?  Why couldn't Hiro just go back in time to the point he originally screwed up and fix things there?  I suppose its true as with any story, that if the characters were to react in a completely rational manner the story lines would be pretty boring.  In my opinion this season has packed far less a punch than last season.  I feel to much was attempted, to many story lines were played out at once.  Its still one of the best shows on television, but give a short attention span a break.

Tune in next week and see how this season of Heroes wraps up.

Turkey Time is Upon Us. What Are You Thankful For?

Well, the time has once again come to give our thanks. I was just wondering what some of you out there have to be grateful for. I have a few things to be thankful for:

• My health
• My family
• My current employment (by thankful I mean only that it means I'm not unemployed)
• My ability to remain somewhat sane in a world so otherwise
• My Ipod, for without it and my stock of good music I would have to rely purely on the radio and the current lack of talent offered by today's musicians and record companies

That's but a few things... How about all of you? Drop me a comment and let me know... gobble, gobble, gobble.... and P.S. be sure to fully cook your turkey, salmonella sucks

Help Save "Journey Man", or screw it if you don't like the show.

It has been announced that if the ratings don't improve for NBC's Journey Man with in the next couple of weeks... the show is going to be yanked. Personally, aside from Heros (which it wisely follows) this is the only show I watch on NBC. They have to many rehashed super dramas and crime crap for me. But back to Journey Man.

It seems that large numbers of people are viewing the show via down load and tivo, but appearantly the network doesn't deem these as viable viewing sources. Primarily I suppose its due to the fact that commercial sponsors don't see the revenue from downloaded content and tivo the way the do when people actually tune into the original aring of the show. So while a show might be a critical success... Commercial success is all that matters to a network.

If you haven't seen Journey Man, check it out, its kind of a Quantum Leap meets Highway to Heaven. Follow this link to get some more info on the show Journey Man

Happy Birthday Baby. Gifts Not to Get Your Wife, EVER!

Well, my beautiful wife's birthday is just around the corner. I never know what to get her on any gift giving occassion. Sure if I were a wealthy man diamonds would be a sure fire hit. But alas, this is not the case. Having spent the last 12 years not sure what to get her... let me just share with you the things I should not have given her:

Tools - I know, now it seems like a bad idea, but in my defense that is all she complained about "not being able to find a tool in the house" so I in my infinete wisdom actually thought it was a very nice gesture to set about getting her a nice set of tools complete with a full compliment of screwdrivers, wrenches and what not and a little tool box just for her. Well XXX wrong answer. I guess getting ones wife tools for Christmas is a dick thing to do. I though I was being practical and observant to a need she had, she saw it as me giving her tools. Well that one was my fault, my guys mind didn't allow me to see through the fog of the obvious, I blew that one I suppose.

Clothes that aren't sexy- never get your wife clothing for everyday use such as sweats, socks, panties that aren't thong or any pants whatsoever. Basically by getting your wife clothing that isn't deemed "bedroom use" is a sign to her that you think she's fat or that your not attracted enough to her to by her sexy frilly things. Again this was not the case. I clearly remember her ranting one day about having nothing comfortable to wear. With this stored back in my gift shopping memory bank, such an occassion came along where a gift needed purchasing. So, hmmm, what to get... right something comfortable to wear right? Wrong! She open the packages, inspected their contents, placed the items back in the box, replaced the top. She looked at me and said thank you, immediately following the genuine feeling "thank you" was an inquiry as to where I purchased these great gifts. Yeah, she's taking them back. So if its not sexy, let her buy it herself. If she has nothing comfortable to wear you can simply offer one of your old T-shirts......

Cooking Stuff - While the occassional cuttlery set or blender is acceptable, don't allow the hole gift giving event completely revolve around cooking. My side- my wife was always unhappy not having nice service equipment when company came over, not having nice pots and pans to cook with and so on. I decided to buy these such items all at once. Well It seems that buying your wife a whole bunch of cooking shit and having her open it up in front of the family during an otherwise enjoyable birthday party basically translates to one thing for your wife, that being.... So, thanks for the cooking stuff, I'm so glad that your entire family now thinks that I didn't cook for you. My mother was practicularly shaking her head in disgust as she opened each gift as if to say "my poor starving boy". Now of course this isn't exactly as bad as it sounds. I eat very well now..... Just kidding dear... well no, I do eat and enjoy your meals... I didn't mean. Whatever.

Well I'm sure there are other dumbassed gifts I have given, but just remember dear..... I've given you the best gift of all... Me.

But seriously, happy birthday and as always my gifts always reek with good intentions.

Support "Relay for Life"... Your help counts.

I have been a supporter and organizer for the American Cancer Societies "Relay for Life" for the past 5 years or so. Its amazing what life occurances will open your eyes to certain causes.

As for me, I have lost family members to cancer, as I'm sure most of us have. But it was the loss of Mercedes, she was an adorable little girl that attended my childrens day care. Watching and hearing of the struggles this little angel went through in her young enbattled life really altered my thinking.

When your younger you seem to figure that only the old get sick. I knew cancer had no age requirements or race requirements but for me it was always just horrible things (older people) had to deal with. Little Mercedes lost her battle to cancer but with the passing of her life came a rebirth of awareness. It was amazing to see the way the children would interact with her at the day care (when she felt up to attending). The children seemed more aware of her situation than some of the adults. They didn't avoid her or shy away, but actually really knew how she wanted to be treated.

Mary Risley, the director of "Mom's Place" (the daycare my children attended) has made it a mission in her life to build awareness for cancer and the fight for the cure. Through "Mom" we called her, even the parents, most all of us have learned the importance of cancer awareness.

Having two young children of my own, I cannot even fathom the heartache of watching your child suffering with such a disease. Its important for all of us to do our part, be it little or small.

I urge you, whoever may read my blog here, to take the steps to support the American Cancer Society in their efforts for finding a cure. One way is participating in the Relay for life events held across the country. You can check the link for events in your area and ways you can participate. Or you can comment to this post and I'll direct you to a source for more information.

Thank You: Eric

Where Do You Find The Time To Blog?

I usually find time through out the day, um... sometimes during work, in between my mundane daily tasks (I don't think my boss well ever read my blog anyway). I lately have found time during my lunch break. I get out of the office, park across the street from this hotel that has a wide open wi-fi connection and just spend the hour or so on the computer.

Where do you all find the time? And where do you log the most time when blogging?

I have been to quite a few other blog sites and often find myself wondering where in the hell some of these people found the time to post 15 separate posts all in the span of an hour. I mean damn, I find I'm enjoying this way of passing time more and more but some people seem to take it to extremes.
So drop me a comment and let me know the methods to your madness. Have a good one.

Yes... Beatles "Help" first ever Podcast

To celebrate the DVD release of “Help!”, which was on November 6, the first ever Beatles podcast has been created. The podcast is narrated by Michael Palin, and so far there are two parts available to listen to. A third part will be released shortly!

If you haven’t already checked out the “Help!” DVD, I would really recommend it. I had never seen it, and wasn’t alive for its original 1965 release, but I still enjoyed it. It featured all the old classic Beatles’ songs that I love, and a quirky story line. What amazed me the most was the restoration job they did - wow did the quality look great!

So, check out the podcast here , and then skip on down to your local store and pick up the DVD. It’s also the perfect gift for the Beatles fan in your life.

Another weird movie for Sandler. Don't Mess With Zohan

Adam Sandler has teamed up with Judd Apatow on his next project, which admittedly sounds pretty strange. In “You Don’t Mess With Zohan”, Sandler plays an Israeli commando who fakes his own death in order to start a new life in New York City as a hair stylist.

Notorious for their comedic prowess, Sandler and Apatow co-wrote the film, which will hit theaters next summer. To be more precise, it’s got a June 6, 2008 target release date. If you’re wondering what Sandler would look like as a Israeli commando-turned-hairstylist, check out the photo above from this week’s Entertainment Weekly.

Finally! Barry Bonds Indicted

Home Run King facing perjury and obstruction of justice charges

NOVEMBER 15--Baseball star Barry Bonds was indicted today on perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from a years-long federal probe that examined his alleged use of steroids. A copy of the Bonds indictment, which was filed today in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, can be found below. According to the five-count indictment, Bonds lied to a federal grand jury in December 2003 when asked about his use of steroids. During that appearance, Bonds, 43, repeatedly denied that his trainer, Greg Anderson, provided him with performance-enhancing drugs like human growth hormone and the illegal products distributed by the notorious Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. •••read full story

Your Views on the "Blogging Community" in general.

Hello everyone. I was watching the tube this weekend and I've noticed lately that so many jokes lately are hurled toward the bloggers of the world. I am pretty new to blogging and find it so far to be a great release. Never before has so open a forum been given to basically anyone with a computer and the desire to speak ones mind and share ones interests.

Do we bloggers really deserve to be bunched in with our fellow geek croweds as the D&D freaks, band or A/V club types. No understand me, I am in no way putting down the enjoyers of those interests, with the exceptions of D&D, I was a band geek and proud of it and as for the A/V club I feel I'm still in that one. How can it be in this day and age that there are people so quick to judge others for the freedom of expresion. Or perhaps there affraid of allowing themselves to be self expressive for fear of what they might really learn of themselves.

Well, anyhow, if anyone reads this post please comment. First of all I want to know that the comment posting is working and secondly, I like hearing what people have to say. Take care and have a great day

Pearl Jam Gears Up

Gear Update

Available for downloading is a PDF file of my personal Riot Act studio notes, which I kept/compiled throughout the recording of the new album. It contains general information on tunings, guitars and amps used, effects pedals, and a few other miscellaneous items about what Stone, Mike, Jeff, Ed, and sometimes Matt, used to record Riot Act. I think the fans and/or musicians who are interested in the recording process will really enjoy being able to know which specific pieces of equipment the band used to create each song, particularly as they’re listening to the new material for the first time.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer any drum-related information on Matt Cameron to the drumming fans out there. No specific notes were kept on his drum or cymbal usage during the recording. I can tell you, however, in general Matt uses Vic Firth drumsticks, Remo drum heads, Yamaha drums and hardware, Zildjian cymbals, and Keplinger snare drums.

Please keep in mind these notes were kept during the recording for my own personal reference as the band worked through the material and have had very little “fixing up”. It is what it is - relatively raw information assembled in my own somewhat cryptic logic; you’re on your own in translating this information for your own understanding. Please do not email the Rumor Pit or Pearl Jam Ten Club with questions pertaining to your understanding of this information – no technical support will be made available.

I sincerely hope you find this information interesting, and it benefits the great many dedicated Pearl Jam fans and fellow musicians in their appreciation for the music that was collectively written, created, and developed by your favorite band. Enjoy the music!

Pretty interesting read. Its always helpful as a learning musician what techniques others use to attain there individual sounds. CHECK IT OUT HERE its quite an indepth look at the recording process from an engineers and producers prospective.

Sean Connery.... Getting Busy, Young

No, that guy is not my grandfather. It’s the Scottish sultan of sex, Sean Connery. Young’ins might not be familiar with his fine acting resume, but he’s best known as the original James Bond and the dude who first said “You’re the man now, dog.” Also, he’s damn sexy at just about every age. Which explains why it’s totally plausible that Sean lost his virginity at the age of eight, which is alleged in the new book “Where Do Nudists Keep Their Hankies?” Connery actually admits it, saying “I was 8, but I can’t recall with whom.” Spoken like a true aging pimp. You’re still the man, old dawg.

To give you a little perspective on what age group we’re talking about, we’ve outlined a few stars of Young Hollywood and matched them with older celebs who lost it at their age. Try not to gag. [Images: Getty/CBS]

Hey, it’s Dakota Fanning, 13 going on 14, and her lil sis Elle, age 9! Boning at Dakota’s age: Clint Eastwood, David Duchovny, Bruce Willis. Judging from the fact that these girls won’t be hot for another ten years, this feels fairly wrong.

Abigail Breslin, of Little Miss Sunshine fame, is so fresh-faced and adorable right? She’ll be 12 in April, which is when Don Johnson got his first taste of the lady snacks! The still-sexy Johnny Depp and Jon Bon Jovi went for it at 13.

It’s Will Smith’s mini-me, son Jaden! The Pursuit of Happyness starling clocks in at 9 years, so he’s OLDER than Sean Connery was for his first time. Something is really starting to feel wrong about all this! Let’s see what 8-year olds we can dig up here…

But of course - little Jimmy from Kid Nation! The adorable munchkin stole our cold hearts on the premiere of that borderline abusive show, but our love was cut short when he wailed, bailed and went home. The reason - homesickness, cuz ya know, the kid’s 8-years old. Gross Connery. Real gross.

$399 Ultraportable Apple Laptop: OS X on Asus EEE PC

Word of warning if you have an Apple-shaped twinkle in your eye: Lo-jacking the Asus Eee PC with OS X is legally dubious (like a lot of worthwhile tech endeavors tend to be) thanks to licensing restrictions and whatnot. Dan's method more or less follows Adam Pash's awesome Hackintosh tutorial over at Lifehacker, but an already PC-patched copy of OS X floating around on BitTorrent mercifully lets you skirt a lot of the hack and slashage for a moderately easy install.

Good morning everyone. For those of you in the northern states you probably could care less but it got down to 39 degrees this morning in LaBelle, Fl. Yeah, yeah, I know some of you already have snow, but 39 in South Florida in November. Just thought I share.

Family Guy... Without MacFarlane... C'mon

Variety spoke with Seth MacFarlane about the fact that Fox will air a new Family Guy episode this Sunday, that they completed on their own without him.

"It would just be a colossal dick move if they did that," MacFarlane said Tuesday. He said the next three episodes of the show "are relatively close to completion, but they have not had a final pass."

MacFarlane conceded that the Fox network and 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the show, are "legally within their rights" to complete episodes without his sign-off.

"But they've never done anything like this before, in which they've said, ‘We're going to finish a show without you,' " MacFarlane said. "It's really going to be unfortunate and damaging to our relationship if they do it."

How serious are his words that this can damage his relationship with them, this serious.

MacFarlane also has another bit of leverage over 20th: He's been in "final talks" over a new deal with the studio for more than a year. He's been working under an interim agreement, but he says he doesn't have a signed long-term contract with the studio.

"I'm technically in breach of nothing," he said.

Family Guy is a hilarious show. Its a shame the strike has to take place at all. Hopefully things can be resolved and soon for all our TV wrapped minds. I for one cannot allow my brain to be altered by more forced airings of "Caveman" than it has already been subjected to.

Sweet, Cold, Delicious Beer.

A New Zealand college student has created what can only be described as the most important beverage-related invention ever.

Tired of lugging an ice chest to the beach with his mates, 22-year old student Kent Hodgson, created a portable device that cools beer in a matter of moments.

The Huski utilizes a pen-sized plastic cooling cell that is placed in a dock. The dock is filled with pressurized liquid CO2, which expands to create dry ice in the cooling cell. The cell is then dropped into a beer bottle and, voila, you have yourself a frosty beverage!

Confused? Don't worry -- all that matters is that your beer is cold. He plans on selling the device for $50.

Woman orgasms over 200 times in a day?

We know it’s Monday when we come face-to-face with a story that would be better served as a shady plot to a 70’s porno. Apparently some British girl has come forward to reveal that she has Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (say what?), which is just that: continuous sexual stimulation all day long from regular, mundane everyday things. This is one of those things that dumb guys might think would be “awesome,” but women know otherwise. Her life sounds like one pleasurable hell. 24-year old O-er Sarah Carmen explains, “As a skin care specialist I have to use tools which vibrate a lot of the time for micro-dermabrasion and they sometimes set me off.”

Sarah blames the problem on anti-depressants, and has had up to 200 orgasms in one day. She even had five during the 40-minute interview about her O problem! This sex pic screenplay is just writing itself. Someone call Jenna Jameson! [Image: News of the World]

So what makes this woman so special. My wife has orgasms when I'm not around all the time... er, wait, dammit.

Gifts Not To Give Your Wife.

Well, my beautiful wife's birthday is just around the corner. I never know what to get her on any gift given occassion. Sure if I were a wealthy man diamonds would be a sure fire hit. But alas, this is not the case. Having spent the last 12 years not sure what to get her... let me just share with you the things I should not have given her:

Tools - I know, now it seems like a bad idea, but in my defense that is all she complained about "not being able to find a tool in the house" so I in my infinete wisdom actually thought it was a very nice gesture to set about getting her a nice set of tools complete with a full compliment of screwdrivers, wrenches and what not and a little tool box just for her. Well XXX wrong answer. I guess getting ones wife tools for Christmas is a dick thing to do. I though I was being practical and observant to a need she had, she saw it as me giving her tools. Well that one was my fault, my guys mind didn't allow me to see through the fog of the obvious, I blew that one I suppose.

Clothes that aren't sexy- never get your wife clothing for everyday use such as sweats, socks, panties that aren't thong or any pants whatsoever. Basically by getting your wife clothing that isn't deemed "bedroom use" is a sign to her that you think she's fat or that your not attracted enough to her to by her sexy frilly things. Again this was not the case. I clearly remember her ranting one day about having nothing comfortable to wear. With this stored back in my gift shopping memory bank, such an occassion came along where a gift needed purchasing. So, hmmm, what to get... right something comfortable to wear right? Wrong! She open the packages, inspected their contents, placed the items back in the box, replaced the top. She looked at me and said thank you, immediately following the genuine feeling "thank you" was an inquiry as to where I purchased these great gifts. Yeah, she's taking them back. So if its not sexy, let her buy it herself. If she has nothing comfortable to wear you can simply offer one of your old T-shirts......

Cooking Stuff - While the occassional cuttlery set or blender is acceptable, don't allow the hole gift giving event completely revolve around cooking. My side- my wife was always unhappy not having nice service equipment when company came over, not having nice pots and pans to cook with and so on. I decided to buy these such items all at once. Well It seems that buying your wife a whole bunch of cooking shit and having her open it up in front of the family during an otherwise enjoyable birthday party basically translates to one thing for your wife, that being.... So, thanks for the cooking stuff, I'm so glad that your entire family now thinks that I didn't cook for you. My mother was practicularly shaking her head in disgust as she opened each gift as if to say "my poor starving boy". Now of course this isn't exactly as bad as it sounds. I eat very well now..... Just kidding dear... well no, I do eat and enjoy your meals... I didn't mean. Whatever.

Well I'm sure there are other dumbassed gifts I have given, but just remember dear..... I've given you the best gift of all... Me.

But seriously, happy birthday and as always my gifts always reek with good intentions.
