6am in Rome

And Im blogging. How much of a fucking loser am I? The keybpard is all fucked up, so i, just typing as if i was home- We walked about 24 miles yesterday, then got drunk and titso pulled a me... She passed out on me- How rude is that__ Anyway, I.m paying by the minute to use this, so I gotta go, but thanks for all your kind words about titsoàs hotness. I gotta go wake her ass up! Arreviderce.

Best Presents

My brother gave us a video camera (home made pron coming soon!)

Titso's sister wrote a poem. Really awesome. Like, so good I might post it sometime because it should be published

Boatloads of money.

Still waiting to see what you get me.

Yes, you.

Wedding recap

As you may have read, my day started at around 4:30am when I woke up. I stayed awake and we golfed at 9am. I haven't golfed in 2 months and I played the best golf in my life. A good sign I guess. Though I did forget to bring my suit with me, so I had to drive 40 minutes to go pick it up. Anyway, most of my groomsmen met up at my friend's house and we got ready and drank some Johnny Walker and bonded. The limo picked us up and dropped us off to wait for the bride... and wait... and wait.... and wait. A half hour after the ceremony was set to begin, they arrived...

This is boring the shit out of me. The photograpers were annoying. The entire cocktail (hehe, I said cock) hour was pictures. The first dance was pretty awesome I guess. When it started we didn't think they were playing the right song, but then it kicked in and it was amazing. Several people asked us if we took lessons. Obviously the bartenders were lacing beers with crack. After the first dance, the annoyingness set in. And by annoying I mean talking to people. Trying to talk to 225 people in 10 minutes doesn't work out too well. And when you find out some people don't give you thier card until you talk to them things get hectic. AND, very early in the night I talked to one of my dad's friends and he handed me his card and told me I had to talk to all his friends to get thier cards. His card wasn't sealed, so I looked into it and saw a check for $500. I immediately ran over to all his friends, all his friends wives, and I even tried to talk to his waiters to see if they were witholding anything. Titso and I are completely blown away at the generousity of people... or at least people you talk to.

Ther'e so many stories to tell that will probably bore you so I'll just recap. Played golf. Forgot suit. Got suit. Got dressed. Rode in Hummer limo. Got married. Got choked up and had to whisper my vows to avoid crying. Titso looked unbelievable (see below). Didn't eat any hour' dourvs because of pictures. Did shots. Danced pretty good. Didn't eat much. Did shots. Was nice during cake cutting. Did shots. Took pictures. Talked to people for 3 hours. Did shots. Wanted to dance. Danced to best wedding band EVER! (as told to us by at least 10 people) Did shots. Went to cousin's afterparty. Drank beers. Went to hotel. Got upgraded to honeymoon suite. Passed out. Didn't get laid. Woke up next morning. Got laid. YEAH!!!









I'm sure I'll log on from Italy because my fantasy baseball team is winning week 1 of playoffs, so I have to check on them. And you.

It's 5am somewhere

Oh, it's 5am here. Less than 3 hours of sleep on my wedding day. A combination of nervousness and excitedness has caused my lack of sleep, and ability to make up words by just adding "ness" to the ends of them. I'm not here looking for you guys to root me on, you've done a great job of that already. I'm just excited and need to release and work out some words. I need to release in more than one way. 12 hours!

My rehersal dinner was great. My mom made like a 15 minute presentation of pictures of Kym and I growing up, then growing together. It was nice. And then my dad got up and talked. He was an emotional wreck. Which made me cry. He wrote me a poem because he says he knows I've written poems before to express my feelings and he wanted to give it a try. Which made me cry more. Then I stood up and tried to thank everyone, but I couldn't get it out without the voice trembles because being a little bitch runs in the family. I wasn't prepared to do that, which I think is the main reason I'm awake right now. At least at church I just repeat after the priest, but I'm pretty sure Kym or I will be expected to say something at the wedding, and I know she hates doing that so I'm going to probably step in. Half the people there have probably never heard my voice since I'm so quiet. So, this is what I'm thinking of saying...

I know right now Kym is nervous that I'm going to ramble on like usual, so I'll keep it short. I just want to thank Kym's parents for all thier help in putting this together. Even from Virginia you were an amazing help and support system to us trying to get this day to happen. So, a huge thank you for all your help. I'm joining a great family. And a personal thank you from me for raising such and an amazing and beautiful daughter. I can't go into my feelings for her right now or I'll end up crying. So, I'll move on and say thank you to my parents. I really can't even express in words how thankful we are for everything you've done to make this day what it is. And for me, I can't express how blessed I am to have been brought up in such a great family. And a personal thank you from me for raising such an amazing and beautiful son. I can't go into my feelings on me right now or I'll end up crying. (pause for laughs) And to everyone that has joined us today, a special shout out to you all. You all mean the world to us and we're so happy you're here today to help us celebrate. Drink up bitches!

Happy HNT

In the words of the great Glass Tiger: Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone.

My Muscles

I just took a close look at my starburst profile picture. I noticed my right arm is a lot bigger than my left arm. I wonder why...

I think I'll read a few blogs today

How the fuck do you expect me to get anything done today? Seriously. I walk out of this building later today and don’t have to come back in for 19 mother fucking days!

Uh Oh

If you ever met me in non-internet person, you might be surprised at how quiet and shy I am (considering how post happy and comment whorey I can be here). Working with my fiancé, and 3 days away from the wedding, I get talked to more now than ever before. Usually people know to just ignore me, but at least 15 times a day now I get, “So, are you nervous?” I give the same answer every time, “I hate being the center of attention, so I’m not looking forward to that, but no, I’m not nervous.”

Well, yesterday when I shut down my computer, I stood up to walk out, and I thought to myself “OK, two more days of work, then I’m off to get married.” And my stomach dropped into my uterus.

Me, all my friends, my family, and a few cousins are golfing the morning of my wedding. I have a feeling I’m going to get hit in the face with an errant ball. (no sexual jokes please) (nah, go ahead). I feel like I’m going to pull my back out and I’ll have to be wheeled down the isle. The limo is going to be late. I have to check into the hotel and pick a bridesmaids husband up there… I’m going to be late. I’m going to get a ginormous zit on my face. The band is going to suck. I’m going to cry during my vows. Or laugh. I’m not going to sleep the night before. People aren’t going to have fun. No one will dance. One of my crazy relatives will make a scene. I’m going to pass out during the ceremony. Or puke. I’m not even going to get started about the first dance. The food is going to suck. The bartenders will suck. God no, not bad bartenders, please.


OR, maybe everything will be fine and I just need to get laid. Seven weeks sans sex should not be attempted by anyone.

Weekend lowlights

Friday night after 20 beers, Titso and I practiced our wedding dance for the first time. Our song is “Beyond the Sea” by Bobby Darin. The song has some pep to it, so we can’t just hang on each other. I think I’m an ok dancer and she is a self-proclaimed bad dancer. It. Was. Ugly. Tripping, broken toenails, dropped dips, and every other aspect of bad dancing took place. We’re going to embarrass the shit out of ourselves.

I’d never blame alcohol for anything, but after all that drinking and bad dancing Friday night I got a charely horse at 6am Saturday morning. I haven’t gotten one since one night 4 years ago when I had about 8 red bull and vodkas. (not real red bull, but red bull knockoff) Upon being woken up to the piercing pain, my thought process went like this “AHHHH!! Oh my God!!! A charely horse! YESS! I love charley horses!! Wait, no I don’t. owww! Stop, God make it stop! I’m so tired. So very tired... sleep please come back to me. Sleepppp…. Ouch....” zzzzzzzz…

I don’t know what the hell prompted me to think I like charley horses.

Crap!!

I was just about to do something work related when my boss told me I had to leave and go to happy hour. So… peace!

Is this seat taken?

It’s official. There’s a plague going on in my office. It’s name is Tim. Everyone that sits around me has either quit or been fired in the past 6 months. One cube even had two people come and go. In our team of 30 people, 5 have quit or been fired in the past 6 months, and they all have one thing in common. They sit next to me. Here’s an illustration*:



But hey, look! Here comes Titso to cheer me up!



I've been whitening my teeth, can you tell?


*I've got mad Paint skills.

Creative Juices

For some reason it seems a lot of the blogs I read are written by people who live on the wrong coast. I do have a few east coasters that I read, but the majority are from over there. Another thing I’ve noticed is that most people that blog from work seem to come in and write something right away. So when the west coasters get in, they give me something to read around noon. And I thank you all for that.

I’m not one of those people that can come in and quickly spout something off. It takes a while to get my creative juices flowing. Sometimes I’ll wake up in the morning with my creative juices raging from all my crazy dreams. So much so that I can barely contain myself. Sometimes I even roll over and unleash my creative juices on titso. Of course, it’s been a while since that’s happened. But generally, I’m the type of guy who needs to take his time. Slowly ease into my post. Get the creative juices flowing slowly at first. Then as I start massaging my post it becomes more fluid, easier to work. Then eventually my creative juices are unleashed when I hit the publish button. Which I probably won’t do for this retarded post.

My suicide scar

For HNT this week I thought I'd post one of my scars. Last year we were dog sitting so we kept the cat on one floor and the dog on the other. By the end of the week, they were both calmly sitting by the door, so I thought they'd be ok. I picked up the cat to protect her. Bad move number one. They kinda sniffed each other when the cat flipped out. Gave me a huge x-marked scar. It's fading now, but it looked like I tried to kill myself for the first 4 months. You have to look really close to see any abnormalities. Can you see anything?

My greatest years

I just started thinking about what years of my life were the greatest. So, I had to write them down to decide.

The countdown continues...

One month from today I'll be 30. Ewww!!

So, what in the world are you gonna get me?

A letter to the one I love

Dear Tim,

I understand that you want to be tan for your wedding. And I know you have to suck up the gayness of a tanning salon to get there. But, when the girl asks you if you want to do the max amount of time, she’s not challenging you. You have nothing to prove. You’re going to end up with a sunburnt ass. And penis.

Love Always,
Tim

Social Caterpillar

It’s a good thing Titso is a social butterfly. We just got surprised at work with a wedding shower and it was a good start to the bathtub o’ loot. About 30 people were there and they all chipped in for some good presents and gift certificates. It was really surprising because of the 30 people there, I socialize with a about ½ of one of them. I don’t like people, but they can be ok sometimes.

PS. I’m sorry every post is about my retarded wedding these days. Soon enough I’ll be back to posting about my ass.

PPS. I first spelled caterpillar as "Catapillar", and the suggestion from the blogger spell check? staplers.

Thank You

since Titso has done about 95% of the planning for this wedding, she's making me write the Thank You letter that goes in the church program. I'm not usually too good at saying thank you to people, but I think what I came up with is pretty nice.

"We would like to thank all of you for joining us to celebrate our big day. Everyone that is here today has affected our lives in a positive way and we are very grateful for everything you’ve done to help us get to where we are today. Except those of you who we don’t even really know. And those of you who are actually dicks and didn’t do shit for us. We want to thank everyone for the buttload of cash you better have brought with you today. Tomorrow we plan on filling our bathtub and swimming in it all. We would also like to thank our parents for creating the two best-looking humans on the face of this earth. I can’t believe how lucky I am when I look at the beauty staring back at me, in my mirror. Although this whole small penis thing I got going is kinda bullshit. But anyway, this wedding cost a lot of fucking money and we want to thank our parents for all the help with that. So, everyone better eat all their food, take a piece of cake with you, and I better see at least 5 or 6 people in the hospital lying along side me with me with alcohol poising tomorrow."

Post bachelor party fallout

I’ve got this one friend who always has to be the center of attention. Which is why I wasn’t surprised on Thursday night when he told me he was bringing his girlfriend to my bachelor party. He was supposedly already going to be downtown with her, so he was going to meet us at the strip club. Being the laid back-I-could-give-a-shit-less kind of person that I am, I said I didn’t care. I’ve been friend with him for 25 years, so I’m used to this kind of shit from him.


So, they meet us there and I was so drunk I don’t really remember much, so as far as I knew Saturday everything was fine. Until Titso told me she knew she showed up. Titso is friends with everyone. Except her. Every one of my friend’s wives/girlfriends gets along except this one girl. Her appearance did not make Titso a happy girl. At her, him, or me. She thinks I should have told my friend not to bring her. And she’s probably right, as usual. Titso’s so pissed off and feels disrespected that she wants me to un-invite her to the wedding. I avoid drama at all costs and tomorrow night at my softball game I’m going to have to tell him this. He savors drama at all costs so it’s going to be a huge ordeal and I hate this shit. I’d fight the cause with Titso to just let her be invited but my brother told me last night that this girl was supposedly yelling at me at the strip club because I was paying attention to the strippers and not to her. And that’s where the line was crossed for me.

what I remember

Strippers love vanilla scented lotion.
