Mary's appointment with Matt finally went down! I drew the hummingbirds for her feet and Matt did the cherry blossom. Unfortunately my phone's camera is still acting wacky so I couldn't get good shots.

Thanksgiving!
We headed home and hung out for a bit before Mary had to go to lame ol work. She left, I walked the dogs and headed over to my folks.
We had a very nice/awesome evening. Uncle Paul was there, so just the 4 of us enjoyed the football games and dinner. I was FINALLY able to get them to skip the same ole same ole. We had delicious steaks for dinner along with salads and baked potatoes. It was a great night and the only thing missing was my beautiful wife. It wasn't to awful because the Tgivings work day meant Xmas day she would be OOOFFFFFF! We are so so excited about that! Her and I are have only had one xmas when she was off. We were dating at the time so we spent separated time with our families. So this year we get a real xmas as a married couple.

Evo hits 1k miles, printing shirts and tattoo work
iPhone won't focus
Hit the 1000 miles mark in the Evo on the way to Travis's house to print some shirts. I have a video of the moment as well. Sorta sucks though cause OF COURSE I get to 999.9 miles and have to stop at a red light...haha. So up Bruhin over Dutch Valley and bam 1k miles!
Had a tattoo appointment that was pushed to 12 by Matt then I pushed it to 1. That gave me time to get to T's house to print shirts for my mom.
One of our first 3 color prints
We got everything setup and it was 12:45 and I still hadn't had lunch. Matt planned on working for about 5 hours so I had to eat first. I ran by Freezo for a burger and fries. I hustled over to Saint, ate and was in the chair by 1:15
Finished up the whole outside! Finally!
James also had his crazy knee surgery today. Replaced the top part of his lower outside bone in his right leg. Little under 30 staples. Everything went well and hoping he is back to normal asap!

Vince Young is done.
Anyways... Vince hurt his thumb on his throwing hand after launching a great pass to Washington (Hey boo birds! Was that good enough for you?!). He comes off the field and goes into the locked room but is back on the field in no time, throwing the ball. With Collins hurt we have to go with our 3rd stringer in a tied game. Rusty Smith. He looked ok, threw one INT on a long ball and out come the negative nancys. This was after a great long pass as well. Well VY never came back in.
After the game Vince threw his passes and jersey into the crowd in frustration...I guess (cool souvenir for a fan). Next it was said that Vince was talking during Fisher's post game address to the team. Fisher told Vince to knock it off and Vince got up changed and started walking out. "You can't just walk out on your teammates, " Fisher said. "I'm not, I'm walking out on you," Young responded and he left. All kinds of rumors and talk has broken out since. Fire Fisher, Fire Young... blah blah.
As of now Young is done for the season with the thumb injury and Rusty will be starting until Collins is healthy. We start the make or break part of our season this weekend with 5 of the 6 games being divisional. I don't expect much after watching the team fall apart this season. I just hope we don't get embarrassed to bad.
GO TITANS!

Awesome dinner at Altrudas
Mary meets Smokey IX
Mary went to give blood for the Orange and Blue Blood Drive and Smokey just happen to be there. She got to hang out with him for a while. I'm half surprised she didn't bring him home!

Music addiction
I have been reintroduced to Girl Talk. It is one dude that makes "mashups." Uses samples of popular music, new and old to create these unique tracks. A must for those of us with short attention spans. I am addicted to this new album as well as he's older stuff. Rock on!

Monday Night Football in DC
From their seats!
One of the Henkel sisters won Eagles Redskins Monday Night Football tickets in a raffle in Philly. She wasn't able to go so Jim and Michael were given the opportunity. They also managed pregame on field passes. Meaning they got to get on the field and watch the teams practice and hour before kickoff.
They saw a record setting night. Most points scored in the first half (28) by either team in the 1st quarter in any of their previous meeting. That's 150+ games. Most points ever in a MNF game. First QB (Vick) to have 300+ throwing, 80 rushing, 6 TDs, 4 air 2 on the ground in a single game. Eagles won 59-28.
It stated pouring rain before half. They ended up leaving in the 3rd.
Lucky SOBs! HA!

My EG!!
Her in the glory days!
Movie night
We were seeing Due Date. Scored a free popcorn with regal rewards! The movie was pretty good, about what I thought it would be. I didn't think it was as funny as it could of been and not anywhere close to the laugh level of The Hangover. I did enjoy.
After we stopped in Sapphire to chill with Ms. Jackson. After a Car Bomb she introduced us to Kracken Rum. Taste like a better Sailor Jerry's which is Captain Morgan like. It was good, she left us the bottle, which she has done before. Easily the best/coolest bartender I've had. We also found out her last name really isn't Jackson. I was a tad shocked, we had been there several times before. I guess we finally climbed that trust hill, haha. She also made us REAL Fireballs. With all this craze about Fireball whiskey she was frustrated hers was falling off. It was really good and we will be getting them again!
We headed home and made a run by Taco Bell. Lauren was home sick and was hungry. We got to T's house and pounded my volcano tacos and headed home.

Sunday football day out!
Brews @ Buffalo
Yes I have 2 beers in front of me! Blue Moon was handing out free samples of their new favor so we couldn't turn that down! Ben and Arron hit it off since they both love the same music. They are into the electronic scene. The games had started and we were enjoying our fluids. For some reason they didn't have the Texans game on and I wanted to know the score since them losing helps the Titans. I go for my phone, leaning back on a freaking stool thinking it had a back. The legs of the stool were in the prefect position... guess what happens? Yup, flat on my back, bam, right in the floor, legs flailing. Best thing about it, about 5 mins left in the 1 oclock games and we were about to relocate to Cool Beans. Man I felt like an idiot. Haha, what can you do other than laugh. Too bad this was fore site on things to come.
Cools Beans allows dogs! This cool dude was one of 2 there!
Little toasty, we switched hats.
Mary joined us and had a few drinks and her and Ben had a nice talk.
Sunday soccer night?
Well, after a day of drinking I decided to get some fresh air (I do this often, just my way of gathering myself, walking it off). Off I go walking around campus. I found a cool little place with mini soccer fields and folks were playing, on every field. I sat a watched a little, walked around the fields some. Well long story short. As I was leaving there are 2 big 3 walled areas and some kids were playing soccer in there as well. Around the wall of one of these areas is was I came in and there are some small bleachers there. Well, I was watching this kids not paying attention and walk around the corner and I didn't realize there was a step up. Down I go again... I reach out to stop the fall but I'm to close the wall and the outside of my hand runs down the brick wall. I ripped a good chunk of skin off my hand and scratched up pretty good. Below is a pic but it doesn't really show how bad it is.
I was taken pics of the Evo waiting for it to warm up.
So I snapped a pic of my beat up hand.
I went back to Cool Beans said my good byes, washed my hand off and headed to the car. My car was at market square and I was on campus. It was a nice little walk. I had a great day and can't wait to do it again.
Also the Colts and Texans lost! GO TITANS!!!!

180 Mag one year anniversary party
Thursday, November 4, 2010
Randy Moss is a Titan!
Hall of fame bound wide receiver Randy Moss will be rocking his 3nd different NFL team's jersey next weekend when he takes the field against the Dolphins as a Tennessee Titan! I'm still in shock! The Titans passed on Moss in the 1998 draft for Kevin Dyson as the 14th pick overall. Ironically 14 teams passed on Moss yesterday before he fell to the Titans.
This is huge for us, just huge! With Britt being hurt, leaving the field after playing like a beast, this is music to our ears. Us fans really are expected the best from Moss! VY, CJ and Moss?! Fastest offense in the league? CJ could have quite a jump in production with Moss on the field. Seems Dinger and Fisher have finally realized VY's throwing potential so what better time to have one of the BEST WRs in the league?!
Next Sunday is going to take forever to get here now!

I'm published...again! :)
Threadless 10 year anniversary book just came out and guess who made it in! Yup check it out.
Just a tad disappointed they made no mention of contest this shirt won. It was judged by several well known designers making the voting aspect irrelevant. Oh well at least I'm in it!Movie night
Off to the movie. First off, 11.50$ for a 3D movie is nutty! You'd think it's cause you get the little glasses. Nope, you give those back at the end. Not to mention the whole movie isn't in 3D. The 3D experience was cool but I could of done without it.
The movie was as expected. Laughing at people doing stupid things, getting grossed out by people doing gross things. My favorite was the Rocky. Shown in super slow-mo. Someone sneaks up behind an unsuspecting person throw a cup of water in the there face, and coming around from the other side with a sucker punch with a boxing glove. It was quite hilarious. All-in-all it was exactly what I expected but was still entertaining.
