An Expensive Habbit Posted: Thursday, March 11, 2010 9 Hours 54 Minutes 9 Seconds Ante Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments It would seem that my wife and I have an expensive habit. Wine.
Daedalus rolls his bloodshot brown eyes. I guess all this started with my being a two-bit amateur wine aficionado, making choices for us at restaurants and showing her the difference between a 25 buck bottle of wine and a 75 buck bottle of wine (almost zero in most cases). Last year we were in Aspen Colorado for their Food and Wine festival. It looked like it anyway. I love Aspen any time of year though. I wouldn't suggest anyone in his right mind, go to the Aspen Food and Wine festival, at $1700 a ticket I am not sure its worth it.
Last weekend we went to wine country, with gorgeous jaw-dropping landscapes and friendly eccentric rednecks mixing in with serious wine aficionados always makes for a great time. We hit 7 vineyards in one weekend and brought back at least two cases of wine. I don't know when its going to get drunk, but the deals were great. For approximately the price of a lap dance you can get a decent bottle of wine.
And now, a moment of Zen as I look out the 43rd floor window office of the Master of the Universe, down on you. There are no comments for this entry.

We are re-doing our bedroom in my wife's vision and subsequently guess who has to put together the furniture, put up the blinds and hit his fingers with hammers? I do. Crap. Only IKEA could sell you a kit that costs what assembled furniture costs and expect you to pay for it. As I complained she said we coooooooulllld go to a regular furniture store and get something already put together. Looking at the gaudy furniture with its twisted and contorted metal and French provincial look cluttering up the second floor of our home - perish the thought. So that's my punishment for wanting something that looks half-modern.
In other news, the generic microwave oven, after three years, gave up the ghost. Cheap piece of shit. I should have got something better, but as a man, I didnt give a shit what they put in when they built my home. Stupid as it sounds, its true. It has a 3 year warranty. And exactly 3 years two months, it has stopped working. Cooking is also - Painful. Yep. My life is boring. Double ovens. Yeah. Boring. Its also bliss.

Im cool with it. Its also time to go back to eating vegetarian again. (Rolls Eyes) While my wife makes food as palatable as possible, nothing quite replaces the taste of a big juicy steak. Crap. Anyway we have committed to going a hundred miles a month. My knee is swelling up already just thinking about it. Ok. I am through complaining. There are 2 comments for this entry.

Posted: Thursday, December 31, 2009 8 Hours 4 Minutes 14 Seconds Ante Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments Its been a long time since I updated. I wonder if anyone even reads this anymore. Family: 2009 was on the whole a pretty decent year. It was the first full year since 2001 my life was completely free of my Wicked Ex and anything that belonged to her, in this case I am referring to her daughter, for whom I hope I never hear from again. My wife asked me if I missed her, I said no. She disagreed but I left the subject alone. She said she sent her a message but hopefully it fell on deaf ears if she replied I'll never know. I don't need the drama and foolishness in my life. I understand what her mother meant when she said she loved her but didn't like her. I wish her well - somewhere else. S Its a wonderful thing when wedding day drama is limited to logistics, (getting flowers to the boat) shaving, (or not) not printing your vows and reading them off your phone and forgetting to get her ring sized (Whoops!)... I also found out who my friends are. People I thought were genuinely interested in my happiness had other plans, agenda's etc.. I told my wife that these things would happen to her. It also happened to me. The children are finally getting lives of their own. Its kind of cool to go a whole 24 hours and not hear from any of them. LOL.. Career: Being a brigadier executive is kind of cool. You get some authority, some of the credit and a job that resembles the first one you ever had, working even harder for nothing. Whatever. Making decisions that directly affect other peoples lives is not fun. Its rewarding when it works, it sucks ass when it doesn't, and everyone is always pissed at you for some reason. The Future: 2010 I will be blogging a little more because I have the time. I am also redoing my professional site and am going to start doing speeches again. Last summer I did some video on various topics related to IT but this year I will be hitting the podium again, spreading my wisdom far and wide. I will also be travelling a lot this year. I have trips planned every month, except April. Other: My life is sooo boring now. I work, travel and tend to the women (the kids) in my life. Its boring to you but you know what? Its exactly what I wanted. There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave commentsWorld to Daedalus: Grow Up! Posted: Monday, November 23, 2009 7 Hours 45 Minutes 51 Seconds Ante Meridian There are 2 comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments Before I got married I used to hear the same foolishness from the same foolish women over and over and over again. Grow up, get married. Ok, so I rented a yacht and did exactly that. I got married. It wasn't a mistake and I am very happy and content. So now last weekend I heard more foolishness. I'm glad you finally grew up. Let me set the record straight. I am forty-two fucking years old. My children are grown too. I don't have a job because not only am I only self-employed, I employ others. When I am not running my own business two others asked me to help run theirs. On occasion I show up at schools and try to inspire children. I have been paid and I have been broke. I know where a library is. I have a masters degree. I own property and pay taxes. My bland suburban transport was not purchased at an urban no-credit-needed lot. How is that not grown? I don't get it. I point this out because these accomplishments, if thats what you want to call them are things that a lot of those who criticized me haven't done. Instead they criticize me for either exploiting women I used to be involved with or on a more personal note exploited them - still as stupid as they were or in most cases still are. Let me help you out a little bit.
Now why are these men so silly, stupid and dog-like? Its because you, through a series of bad decisions, made yourself undesirable to men who aren't silly, stupid and dog-like. What does that leave? Men who are. Why is a man who has his life even half-way together going to want to be with someone who's life isn't? Women who get rid of men because their lives are in a shambles get a medal. I got ostracized for it. Successful decent men are not going to leave their great single situation and life for a woman with three children from three different men. Are you kidding me? Who wants to walk into that foolishness? All he's going to do is walk in, get some booty and eventually leave. Sure, he'll be nice to you in the interim, but he is already leaving. He probably told you he wasn't going to marry you too. You weren't listening. Now if you are grossly (or on your way to being grossly) overweight your situation got even worse. Tip: A size 20 is not normal. I never dated anyone over a size 10 and my wife is a size 4. And if you didn’t screw your life up in those ways and you still have never been married at say, 35 then either you are crazy or worse, your mother is crazy and she taught you everything she knows. I could go on and on with other examples but I'll end with these because they are the most obvious. Until your weight and those children are grown and gone, you don't have a chance. Stop eating everything in sight and Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to lakes, rivers, thugs and losers your used to until you lose the kids and the weight. Or, grow up. Your screwed.

Valentines Day weekend we went to a wine and food festival, in Grapevine Texas now this basically involves a pub-crawl through the mean upper middle-class infested streetz of downtown Grapevine sampling wine and food along the way. We had a great time and met some really nice people along the way. We also got hold of about 5 bottles of wine that day as well. My wife got partially smashed from the samples. LOL.
A few weeks ago my wife and I flew to Florida to visit one of the kids. Why did it have to be 28 degrees? WTF? A walk on the beach in Florida was not all it was cracked up to be. That was painful. Walking around the beach in parkas. Indeed.
The one bright spot was the 42 inch TV we got for our bedroom. We got a great deal and I set it up for everything digital, picking up an Acer REVO PC and a Logitech wireless keyboard to run it. 
peaking of wives, I went aboard a yacht and got myself one in September. My wedding pictures are so lame. I am either bent over because I am over a foot taller than my wife, people are struggling to get her head and mine in the same picture or, the photographer and vidographer are looking up at me and you see my chin the fact that I forgot to shave that morning. Yipes! Those of you who know me on Facebook saw most of the festivities and my reading my vows off of my cellular phone.
