Hope you’re having a great 4th!!! Lucy learned to ride her bike today!

Rock On, jack

Although I’m bummed about my Mom, I’m going to try and enjoy this long weekend.  4th of July is my favorite holiday… BBQ, fireworks, warm weather, it’s just the perfect holiday (although it might be a tad better if it required costumes!)

Before I forget, today was a good Groupon… Especially if you are in the Palmdale, Torrance or Murrieta areas!

Stench has been a man of mystery the last few days, secret deals, unknown sex injuries… hopefully he’ll clear some of that stuff up next week.

I was at the CRN yesterday… Always fun, they’re good people!

The Insana Quotient has been going great… We are launching on KGIL here in L.A. August 1st from 4-6a… So if you’re up early give us a listen.

Ever try to do something nice and get treated like you did something wrong?  Yesterday I went to take the trash out and as I was walking back from the trash cans I noticed a card on the ground, it was someones ATM card.  I’m new to the building and have only met a few of the other tenants (There’s only 6 units) and to be totally honest don’t remember any of their names.  So I figure I’ll knock on my neighbors door and ask if they know who the card belongs too.  I ring the bell, a woman answers who I have not met before, I introduce myself as her upstairs neighbor and ask if she knows who the person named on the card is… ends up it was her husband.  She then proceeds to quiz me on who I am and where I got the card, like I stole it… If I had somehow taken her husbands card why would I then return it?!?!

I bought the kids the “popper” sampler pack at the market yesterday… It’s the closest thing to fireworks you can get in L.A.

Tater Tots are deadly… especially if you’re stuck in a hole in the wall?  Don’t let the bed bugs bite.  I have an idea, put some clothes on that kid!  I’m sure they’re iStunned.   There is something Fishy about this whole thing!  Are you really a “math genius” if you turn down that much money?  I know what I’m getting Stench for Christmas!!!

Have a safe and relatively sane 4th of July Weekend!

Rock On, Jack

I saw it this morning!  I have two favorite times of the year for news, July and December.  Today I saw the “what fireworks do to a mannequins hand story” and come December I will enjoy “Here’s what your Christmas tree looks like in flames” story… Hey, it’s the simple things.

I’m picking up the kids to go hang this morning… This not being able to have them come over midweek thing kind of sucks, so I try and make up for it with a midweek adventure of some sort.

I went and purchased replacement betta fish number two… This time Lucy’s died, so we’ll have to see if the new one fools her!?!?  The color is almost perfect, but it’s a little smaller than “Shark Heart 1″ was. This time I went to a different pet shop… my logic is that I had been buying the fish at a local, small pet shop (Peggy Wood’s in Burbank) and they most likely don’t sell may betta’s, so their fish sit around in the tupperware for longer, this time I went to Pet Smart (or PetCo, Petville, PetMart… I can never remember the name of that place) where they sell more fish and should by my estimation have “fresher” fish… We’ll see.

I realized the other day that I now have health insurance… which means I can try out for Wipe Out!  I need to see if there are auditions anytime soon, Lucy would be so excited to see me fall and make an ass out of myself on there!

I’ve been slacking on my summer movie releases, I still haven’t seen Shrek or Toy Story 3… I think the next thing we will see for sure is Despicable Me, both the kids and I want to see that one. (Opens July 9th)

No resolution on Stench’s pod blind item?  And he’s not talking, he hasn’t even told me off the air (Because he knows I would talk about it here).

Thanks for all the great 4th of july suggestions on Facebook…  We will most likely stick to the valley, maybe watch the city of Burbank set the hillside on fire with their annual display (It happens every year, the display from The Starlight Bowl starts small spot fires… I have an idea Burbank, don’t have your cities display in the hills, there are flat, less flammable parts of the city!?!?)

Finally, a job I’m qualified to do!!!  Birdsssss!  What, the Skort didn’t make the list?  R.I.P. Paul Johnson.   I want to take the kids to see this.  Quick someone get a swoffin.   Holy pipe.   Ouch!

Rock On, Jack
