I give you Alice Cooper. He spends most of his hairband retirement on the golf course these days.

Stories From The Urinal

I thought I would start out a new series of posts of weird things people do while in the restroom at work. Here in Best Buy Corp office restrooms there is always a wall with a shelf and coat hooks for you to place your belongings. I walk up to a urinal today and behind the pipe was someone’s leather notepad. I looked around like WTF, do I just ignore it? Did someone forget it? Should I just take a leak and pretend I didn't see it? As I was looking around the guy washing his hands saw me and grabbed it. Why would you put your leather notepad behind the urinal pipe? Do you enjoy urine collecting on your belongings? Did you not notice the shelf that is in front of your face as you walk into the restroom? And why wash your hands before grabbing the urine filled notepad before you leave? What is wrong with people? Nasty! The black shaded area is where the notepad was located (BTW this was just an image google search, this is not what the restrooms look like at BBY)

What I am rocking out to

Atreyu - The Curse

I don't know what it is but listening to Atreyu makes you want to break some shit. Then you want to watch The Never Ending Story. A couple note worthy songs are Bleeding Mascara & Right Side of the Bed.

" Rock out with your cock out and hang out with your wang out."

Hair Band Wednesday

I wanted to keep today’s Hair Band selection more mainstream. It's one of my favorite Hair Band songs of all time. Every time I hear this song I think of the movie Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson were 100% pure B.A.M.F.'s in this flick!. If you haven't seen this movie, the song plays at the beginning.

10 Year Anniversary

I received my certificate for 10 years of dedication working for Best Buy yesterday. It's unbelievable that 10 years ago I was searching for a part time job out of high school. I applied at 3 retailers; Circuit City, Home Depot and Best Buy. Started working part time in the Merch crew at the Woodbury store on April 17th, 1998 ($8.50 and hour, sweet!). Back then Best Buy only had 300 stores and was a 7 billion dollar company. Now we have over 930 Best Buy stores, 51 stores in Canada plus 131 Future Shop stores, 1 store in China and pretty soon stores in Turkey and Mexico! On top of that we are now a 40+ billion dollar company aiming for 80B in 5 years. Back in High School we all had to take that work assessment test and it said I should be a Park Ranger. Sure a Park Ranger would be cool because of the outdoors factor but with the flexibility of my job at Best Buy it gives me the opportunity to enjoy as much of the outdoors as a I want and not have to be on a Park Rangers salary. I really enjoy my role at Best Buy right now because of the people I work with and the position plays to my strengths. So here is to another 10 years!

BTW here is the free gift I picked out.

Is It Spring Yet?

It seems Spring has finally arrived (knock on wood). Yesterday was a little chilly but at least the sun was not hidden behind rain clouds. It was warm enough to sit out on the patio and enjoy a beer. I also pulled the boat out of the garage yesterday to make sure everything was running well. It fired up fairly quickly after its winter slumber. I cleaned the interior and purchased a couple new batteries, new rod holders and a new hand winch. I can't wait for fishing opener! It should be a great time plus my Dad will be coming this year.

With the warm weather approaching that means I need to get started on some spring projects. I'll be starting the tiling of the master bath this week. Another project is figuring out a mount for the Satellite Dish. I have a 4x4 that I plan on placing into a concrete mold and then setting it into a cedar barrel so Aimee can plan flowers around it.

I watched a few movies this weekend.
Into The Wild - Great movie! Emile Hirsch pulled it off in this movie. I was unsure that he would because of some of the other movies he has been in.
There Will Be Blood - Daniel Day-Lewis...BEST ACTOR EVER! Seriously he is the best. This is a fantastic movie.
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - This movie should not have been made. Horrible.
