Work, still the negative environment that everyone there seems to make it. What can I say other than our company is owned by the British, you know....bad teeth and a "Red Coat" business strategy....How did that work in 1776??
My wife....yeah, is the proud owner of a 2008 Harley Davidson Night Rod. The fastest production bike Harley makes. She even managed to get it BEFORE she was a legal rider. God bless her, my little law breaker, that's why I married her. I'll be quite honest with you, I rode the bike most of the first weekend,(while she was getting her licence) and the machine is EXTREMELY fast! It is safe to say I can, and probably will, be left in the dust on my Road King at any point in time now.
We also took a trip with the "crew" to the Harpoon Brewery Fest over in Windsor, Vermont last weekend. What can I say, beer & meat is the main theme of this event as dozens of cook teams show up from all over to cook meats. My non-beer drinking, vegetarian wife did not have as good of a time as myself and my red meat eating, beer guzzling constituates, but she persevered and overcame and all was well. We also saw my good friends Crispy & Corey over at the brewery. They were camped for the weekend to see her brother compete in the strongman competition the brewery sponsors during the festival. I must say if I had the option of drinking beer and eating barbecue or dead lifting 1000LBS in the hot sun, well, I guess you can figure out which I would prefer.
One thing I would like to rant about for a quick moment would be something I not only saw alot of at the Brew fest, but everywhere in general. I guess it is a sign of getting old, but I noticed that all of the tweens (18-28 year-olds) are all the same these days.... I mean every girl I saw looked like some dumb blond or brunette from one of these M-TV or VH1 shows. My God, I never thought "Stupid" would be in style, but low and behold, there it is. We are talking big 1970's sunglasses, cowboy boots, cut-off shorts and the shirt from the 1983 movie "Flash Dance". My wife watches this crap on TV called "The Hills" which is all about stupid kids with too much money and a whiny attitude and what kills me is this is what these kids strive for. As far as the guys are concerned, all I have to say is buy a belt for Christ sakes. I don't want to see your underwear. I mean these kids can buy pants now with the underwear sewn on the waist. It kills me. Yeah, we did some weird shit too, like rolling our pant cuffs. My wife constantly reminds me that tapered jeans like the Levis 550 Relaxed are not cool anymore. I just can't see wearing jeans that will hide most of my friggin' foot. I mean, how the hell will I know if my shoe is untied or not?
PPPHHHHEEWWWWW, ok I am done, sorry. I get a little carried away. If I could verbally express myself, my arms would be flapping all over the place and my face would be red.
Anyway, moving forward. We went to see the new "Dark Knight" movie in IMAX yesterday and I have to say it was as cool as I thought it would be. Every movie should be viewed in IMAX. If you have not been to an IMAX movie, start with this one. A 50'tall X 75' wide screen and luxury seats with no obstructed view....yeah, you can't compare. The movie itself, well, I am a biased super hero fan, so it was awesome. Heath Ledger's final performance as The Joker is certainly of Oscar caliber. We've come along way from the artsy-fartsy performance of Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's 1989 version of Batman. Trust me, if you like a good action movie, go check it out. If not, oh well....stay home!
