Setting the Record Straight

I once gave "Unk" (Jeff Arnett) my password to Facebook. Since I use similar variations of that password on most of my social networking sites, including blogspot, Unk was able to log into my account and write the previous post. I was aware of it when he did it. In fact, I added all the images. He may have bent the truth a little bit in an attempt to entice comments from those of you on the other side of the internet. His ego was inflated heavily when Wendy made her comment regarding my "Arnett knack for words." I quickly pointed out to Unk that she prefaced the comment saying "I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your posts."

So, to straighten the record, my greatest passion and number one priority in my life is indeed my beautiful wife. I have recently gone fishing with Unk but only lost a couple of his lures and never damaged any of his fishing poles. I caught several bass and never walked into a jumping cactus like Unk did in an attempt to out fish me. I have purchased a ticket to the Phoenix Suns Game 6 against the Lakers and I do enjoy basketball especially during the playoffs. I don't exactly live and breathe the Suns or sports. I would like to point out to a certain brother-in-law that the Suns wore their "Los Suns" jerseys on Cinco de Mayo, I love all people of the earth and it is impolite to put down one's home NBA team. I don't criticize the professional sports teams of Idaho, or lack thereof. Are there any professional sports teams in Idaho? Ugh, I'm too lazy to search the internet to find out, but I assume there isn't. Finally, I do want to learn to play golf. Swinging a stick at a tiny ball and walking or riding leisurely to its landing spot to hit it again and eventually deposit it into a hole is all the sports action I care for. However, I have yet to receive my first lesson from Unk. Oh, and I also went to Disneyland with my family last week and had a blast as you will see in the photo to the right.

I am a real man's man!!!!!

Life has come full circle for me. In my third decade of life I have discovered some new things I really enjoy. Of course, my number one passion is my lovely wife, Ashley. She is, and always will be, the true love of my life. Having said that, I have been "turned onto" some manly things thanks to Unk and Rusty at work.

First of all, I have become a bass fisherman. Unk has been taking me fishing and taught me the finer points of topwater, spinners and jerk baits. To date I've got just under 10 huge bass. I've only broken one rod and reel and lost 12 of Unk's baits. Not bad. Speaking of which the last time we went to Unk's secret fishing spot he was getting annoyed that I was "outcatching him" so he ventured out into the desert area of the pond. As a result and because he was wearing sandals he stepped on a jumping cactus that pierced both his feet. He had about a dozen cactus needles in his feet. He tried pulling them out, but couldn't without pliers. He also couldn't stand the pain so he had me come over and pull them out one at a time. Without me, he would still be maimed.

So, I also have purchased tickets for the Lakers and Los Suns for Saturday. I have become a huge Suns fan. I will be there in all my glory wearing orange with my face painted along with my buddy Rusty. I'm thinking of going to the airport to meet the Suns after tonight's game. I can't get enough of the NBA.....it's fantastic.

And now for the best of all. I want to learn to play golf. Unk has promised to take me to the driving range. I really think I can be good at golf, all I need is clubs (left-handed). I know I've never hit a golf ball, but that didn't stop grandpa Howard from thinking he could be a world class ice speed skater, even though he never skated in his life. Golf is my game.

"Customer service how can I help you?"

Customer: "Hey, how are you doing?"
Me: "I'm doing well how are you?"
Customer: "Oh its a Monday don't ask me that question."

Above is the beginning of a conversation I had this morning with a customer. If he didn't want me to ask him how he was doing because it was a Monday than he shouldn't have asked me how I was doing. It's a Monday for me too buddy! However, I truly am doing very well you ignoramus. I have a lovely wife and great life. Thanks for asking!
