Celtics come back from 24 down!?

Since it looks like the boys in green are about to close the series out up 3 games to 1, you better hurry up and check out some Celtics gear at an online nba shop. Get your lucky jersey on and wish them luck, it's not that being Irish with a 3-leaf clover and a Leprechaun as a mascot doesn't help enough.

I don't wanna be like Mike

Gatorade, Hot Dogs, Underwear, Oh My!

Some of the Jordan clothing line includes shirts, shorts, polos, and his oh-so-special shoes. I am curious about just one thing though. If Michael has his own clothing line, why is he teamed up with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Kevin Bacon in the Hanes commericals hocking men's underwear? Have you seen these commericals? Who comes up with Kevin Bacon to sell Hanes underwear? And what kind of paycheck do they have to throw at the most famous athlete on the planet to get him to walk out in a studio and film something this awful? Ugh! A guy with the last name "Bacon" shouldn't be selling anything except the Moons Over My Hammy down at the local Denny's.

BB for my Valentine

I haven't been shot with an air rifle since I was a kid. I don't remember much about it, except that little red mark and the feeling of having a bee sting for a good hour. My friend claimed he had reallllly good aim. So much for that.

I just bought a Crosman air rifle for the lady. It's fancy. It's Pink. It matches mine, only it's Pink. She doesn't like the birds that tear up the backyard, and I can't say I blame her much, so she aims to scare them off by rustling the branches and ground that they land on. "I don't want to kill them, just scare them." I don't have the heart to tell her that she may accidentally injure one, she's convinced that her aim is so bad that she has a better chance of winning the lottery than having that happen.

I've got her tickets right here, I hope for her sake she's right. I wouldn't mind winning the lotto...


Paper Street Soap Company

Have you ever seen the movie Fight Club? Brad Pitt and Edward Norton share a character named "Tyler Durden" but you never realize it until the very end. Do you follow? Good.

One of the BEST scenes in the movie is when the narrator says, "at night, Tyler and I were alone for half a mile in every direction," while the two characters knocked golf balls off of neighboring factories. If they had some better golf equipment, perhaps they could have taken out just a few more windows...

On the prowl...

My friends all wear a ring or two, regardless of whether or not they are married. I've done a bit of shopping for something nice for myself. I'm really liking the Titanium and Tungsten Rings they're making for men these days. I like the way this site is set up. You get to zoom down to the finest detail on the rings, and navigation is a snap. The prices at titanium-jewelry.com are also some of the best I've found on the net, so financially it's easy on the wallet. The only problem is that there is so many to choose from! I'll post again once I figure it all out. Stay tuned.

Operation Green Thumb

One more thing before I head off:

During the month of May I began to go a bit green around the cupboards in the kitchen. There was all this space being unused, so I went out and bought myself a nice gross of pots, seeds, and juvenile plants. There is one window in the kitchen, though I was worried it wouldn't provide enough direct light to help get the project off the ground. I checked out some grow lights and figured that in order to maintain growth, I should pick up a couple 2 foot long flourescent fixtures with 2 lights and put them on the backsides of the plants against the wall.

After I ran a small extension cord to get the power going, I hooked up a timer and all I need to do now is rotate my pots once a day and give my plants a little water and time. The grow lights seem to be doing wonderfully. One of the coolest things about the lighting setup is that they came in various lengths, bulb quantities, and of course, different wattage for the bulbs themselves. I never realized all the options you could choose from.

More soon!

Take Aim and Fire!

Have you ever noticed the rush you get when you squeeze off a few rounds at the firing range? I have. The only problem is getting down to the range, and all the money I spend on ammo. Bullets are pretty costly this day for some reason.

I decided to buy an air rifle to use in my backyard. I can get BB's and Pellets by the box and at a really good cost. The best part is because there aren't neighbors anywhere near my back wall, just a large wash, so I can scope out aluminum cans and an old box of plastic dominoes from 50 feet like I'm in a movie or something. Aiming for a single spot on a domino is a real challenge - for a few bucks you should give it a try. An Air rifle is easy to use, less lethal than your other household firearms, and they provide simple entertainment at a very inexpensive cost. Check it out.
