OMG the peeing!

The absolute worst thing about Atkins is the water. I have to drink a TON of water every day, and I hate water. The problem with the peeing is that I still drink my normal 64+ ounces of Diet Coke (or other diet soda if Coke isn't available), so when you toss at least 2 giant glasses of water on top of that I'm running to the bathroom about once an hour. It's not "hmm, I think I need to pee" running to the bathroom either; it's usually more like "omg, if I don't make the bathroom in the next 5 minutes I'm going to have to figure out a way from my office to my truck where no one can see me."

Anyway, TMI. Sorry about that.

Something that I just remembered about the game last night that I need to get down before it leaves again.

Fuck Michael Douglas. Fuck him in his stupid ass. And fuck everyone in the media for not calling him on it. If you don't know some shit, don't fucking talk about it. Especially at the Super Bowl, and especially about something as important as WW2 and the people that fought in it. It's embarrassing enough to have a left wing fucking communist speak about such an event without him fucking up the facts.

The 101st Airborne never saw the beaches of Normandy. They fucking parachuted behind enemy lines and blew up stuff so the rest of them could hit the beaches.

Yes, I fucking care about this.

Sure I'll bite:

1. What time did you get up this morning?
7:something. 15 I think. Late is what it was. Stupid staying up late.

2. Diamonds or pearls?
Diamonds. Sparkly things are pretty. Pearls are kinda old lady-ish

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Elektra - it was ok, but I could have waited until the DVD

4. What is your favorite TV show?
Hmm, I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but I would have to say that the current favorite is a tie betwixt Alias and Scrubs

5. What did you have for breakfast?
Extreme Sausage Sandwich, no bun. Medium Diet Coke, easy ice. I say that line a LOT. Strangely they increased some price. It used to be $3.59 (like last week), but today it was $3.70. I checked the reciept and it rang up correctly.

6. What is your middle name?
Thomas

7. What is your favorite cuisine?
I would have to go with spaghetti. Now that Melissa-m found me good Atkins spaghetti I am so indebted to her.

8. What foods do you dislike?
I'm not a big fan of the seafood, but I can deal with it. Bland things annoy me too.

9. What is your favorite crisp/chip flavour?
Original Doritos. Not worth the high carbs though

10. What is your favorite CD at the moment?
GAH! What a choice. All-time is Metallica - Metallica, but for right now I'd have to say either Linkin Park - Meteora or Disturbed - The Sickness. Those are only in my truck though. I like to drive REAL fucking fast.

11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?
Black 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab, short wheel base 2WD 5.2L V8 - 160K miles. I love that truck

12. Favorite Sandwich?
Subway steak and cheese salad. I can't eat the bread, Atkins and all that.

13. What characteristics do you despise?
Iunno, there are definitely some I dislike, but despising things isn't really in my nature.

14. Favourite item of clothing?
blue. taz. t-shirt.

15. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go? at this point in time?
Iraq - seriously, that is the most interesting place in the world right now. It would be cool to remember this time in history as having been there. I would probably fare better if someone paid me to go, but I'd still like to.

16. What colour is your bathroom?
Some form of white

17. What colour pants are you wearing?
I believe it's called indigo

18. Where would you retire to?
I don't really give it much thought actually. I tend to adapt pretty well to wherever I live, so the exact geographical location probaby doesn't matter that much. As long as I'm close to friends I'm probably good. That being said though, "Trey's House for Wayward Boys 3 - We All Have Plenty of Fucking Money" sounds like fun.

19. Favourite time of day?
Late night

20. What was your most memorable birthday?
Probably my 18th, because it was the first in a series of birthdays where an incosiderate family member died and fucked it up. I still probably remember it more though because I still have fun arguments with my mom that she didn't give anything for that birthday amidst all the confusion. Also, my dad took me to the 777 Ranch near San Antonio. We had a really good time there until we had to come home.

21. Where were you born?
Saint Elizabeth Hospital, Beaumont, TX

22. What’s the last thing you ate?
Some form of grilled vegetable at lunch. A piece of squash or zuccini most likely

23. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
black or red

24. Favorite Flower?
I don't really do flowers, but I'd have to say either tulip for my Tulip, or roses. Roses are pretty.

25. What fabric detergent do you use?
Whatever my wife brings home. It's usually whatever is on sale because we really don't care about the brand for that.

26. Coke or Pepsi?
Coke. Diet Coke now that I'm on Atkins

27. Do you wish on stars?
Not really

28. What is your shoe size?
15

29. Do you have any pets?
Yes, too fucking many. Simon, Miranda, Evie, Talia.

30. Last person you talked to on the phone?
My Mom

31. What did you want to be when you were little?
Air Force pilot. Damn you growth spurts.

32. What are you meant to be doing now?
Working. I really should get to that.

33. What do you first notice about someone?
I dunno. A striking feature most likely. Probably the whole face.

34. Siblings?
Brother Russ

35. Favourite toy as a child?
Any of my GI Joe dudes

36. Summer or Winter?
Both. Like I said earlier, I adapt and make the best.

37. Hugs or Kisses?
Kisses

38. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Depends on my mood

39. Who is most likely to respond?
huh?

40. Who is least likely to respond?
what?

41. Living arrangements?
House, with my wife (when she's home) with all our aminals

42. When was the last time you cried?
I don't cry. The last time I got emotional enough that I was remotely close would have been last night during the Superbowl. Anheiser Bush' ad where the air port gave the homecoming soldiers a round of applause that got louder and louder. That was the best ad of the Superbowl.

43. What is under your bed?
Various things that have been accidentally kicked there that I haven't gotten around to picking up yet. Nothing terribly special

44. How many countries have you visited?
2 - US and Mexico.

William Thomas Dismukes IV - That's the only one I feel strongly about.

50. Usual bedtime:
2 hours later than I should - Usually 12 or so.

Not a lot to say today, just thought I'd update. The Superbowl was fun, I'm glad the Pats won. It's nice to see a team dominate a sport through being a team. The Yankees buy their championships, but the Pats have built a solid team that has managed to stay great while weathering the new era of free agency. Anyway, I'm not a sports writer, just thought I'd toss my two cents in.

Oh, I did have one funny today (so far). I was at lunch with a bunch of IT Security and Network Operations guys. Everyone there knows me personally (well enough to expect the following comment) except for one of the Netops guys who is new. We're all seated around the table when I'm expounding on how funny the deaf and blind kids from the Ray Charles school were last night. Someone lobbed me the ball perfectly; they said, "Your poor kids Trey". My response? "If I have retarded kids I'm either going to have a web site making fun of them, or I'm going to bash their head in with a rock and make another one." I caught everyone's response except Bill's (the new guy). The other guys know me well enough to be like, "Ohhh.. kay", but Randle nearly fell out of his chair laughing at Bill's response. Apparently he seemed to either think I was serious, or just couldn't believe I'd say something like "bash their head in with a rock" and was just aghast. Ahh, good times.

I really should find something productive to do today.

OMG, he cut that nigger's face off.
