This Is What Love Is

knowing that del martin died a married woman makes me sit a little straighter, a little prouder.

2012

there will be some huge changes for the 2012 olympics.

thanks to angel matos, taekwondo-- already on the verge of being eliminated from the games-- will be history.



on the other hand, he has a strong shot at medalling if world-class douche becomes a category.

12 Proof Outlaw

it started innocently enough. i went for a walk with mp and met some of our potential neighbors. there are some very hot girls in the lbc, and there are some very friendly pups. seriously though, you should at least ask before you stick your nose in someone's crotch. that goes for the dogs, too.

we met a nice lady. i'll call her gladys, because i can't remember her real name, but she wore these cool 50's style glittery glasses and laughed like a truck stop waitress-- all snort and fluttering breast. gladys is a licensed electrician and general contractor that found her true love after getting her degree in architecture at usc. she's a good girl to know. she also likes an occasional brew on her front porch after work.

this, of course, is where i come in.

while mp was talking to gladys, i roamed around the porch, being sure to make sure mp was firmly attached to her leash. if i let that one run loose, she tends to jump on people and slobber all over them, so i keep her in line.

i moseyed over to this interesting bench that gladys had designed. inside the lid, there were blankets and cushions for her porch swing... and beer. beer that were kept cold by the refrigeration system gladys had built into the bench. it was like puppy nirvana, and what better way is there to show love but to climb in and get down with the blankets and beer?

it took me a while to figure out that the metal containers can be bitten open, but i didn't want to interrupt mp and her new playmate....

when they found me, i was soaked and a little tipsy, but let me tell you: that is the best porch in all of long beach. i highly recommend everyone give it a visit.

Best Blog-- Ever

squirrels getting down and nutty.

DMB Day

it's dave matthews day, but we're sad.



goodbye, leroi.

Wild Donkeys Await

Putting the Blah-g Out

mp has too much going on for any worthwhile adventures. well, except for the naked water polo tournament, but that's something that would need to be documented with a wide-angle lens, and i don't have one of those.

fire girl wants the world to know that she's not "illurterate" (she is), and that she doesn't shower when the guys do (she does). so. now you know. she also wants to sell a 2006 mini cooper s. i told her that that kind of information belongs on a different site, but she insists that since mp and i have both rolled around in it, the car is a creepy collector's item.

i suggested she get the interior detailed and downplay that connection.

Dear Mr Cash

please stop buying our houses.

some of us have to finance.

don't be a douche.

thank you.

You Talkin' to Me?

this was on our desk when we came into work.



i think someone is trying to tell mp something.
ah, finals week... and the smell of flop sweat and fear.

Hello, Hello

it kind of reminds me of the time mp was wandering through kaiser and came across this.

Gay Guy Advice #1

the salesman at the body shop was very enthusiastic about one of their products. as he gestured with it, slapped it into his hand, and swung it back and forth lightly, he said, "oh, my gosh! this is like the most relaxing thing ever. i swear, i've never felt anything so good."



i wonder if the name describes the massager... or what that guy was massaging with it...

Location, Location, Location

our realtor thinks the pea is "incredibly beautiful."

we just think we're lucky because we get hillside property -- at the beach.

Lime Green, Lime Green and Tangerine

my playful, d.u.m., oblivious person was talking to the pea around an hour after gay marriages became actively legal. so, in true mp style, she jokingly asked the pea, "wanna get married?" i don't think the pea had even finished saying "i would marry you," before the jetwash of my fleeing person wooshed away the sound.

Countdown

it's 8 days, 2 hours, and 2 minutes until season ticket upgrade! sweet! mp is going to score us some awesome seats for the fall's date-a-thon. actually, the chickapea has become our best hockey girl, so we'll probably have her go with us and help choose locations. after all, she'll be the one getting groped in those seats-- at least most of the time.

the great house hunt is also heating up. i'm pretty glad we waited for property instead of buying a condo. i can't wait to tear it up in my personal dog park.

Come Back or Hand Off?

does anyone else feel like the celts toyed with the lakers so that they could go back to boston and win it all at home? nah... that would be crazy. crazy, like repeated give-ways by a team that had eaten up a huge lead in the last two quarters....

Alley-Oops

the celts came damn close to blowing a 20 point lead in the final minutes of game 2. they got a little cocky. maybe they saw eddie johnson's play before their game...

luckily "whine-like-a-bitch" (when he isn't busy ignoring the word "no") bryant is going home down 2 games.

That's Just Nuts

my squirrel friend is a a huge futbol fan, so we decided to chill on the new deck with a couple of frosty paws and watch the usa v argentina "friendly" re-match. i didn't know that there are "out" players on the us team. i was so excited at the 50-minute mark, when eddie johnson reached in on javier mascherano and yanked on a handful of argentine junk. it turns out that johnson is aptly named. i guess "the future of usa soccer" is either a real dick or truly all about balls.

when masche got sent off later on, he wasn't trying to injure anyone with his spikes-up slide. he was just getting used to the extra three inches of hang johnson gave him.

The Strings of Addiction

mp was arrested last night. the police confiscated her laptop and found all kinds of... god. i can't even believe it... fuzz pornography. christ, what an embarrassment. she told me the movies she watched online were educational films.

A People's History

rosalyn zinn, wife of howard zinn, died. it seems only fitting to include all of the headlines for the day.



this puppy can only hope that the name zinn still means something when i am forgotten.

Wabbit Season! Duck Season!

the wings won the cup. it's time for hockey withdrawals... again.

the bright side is that it's almost time to choose season seats!

go ducks!
