I'm often suprised by how much I love my girlfriend. I got a bunch of tickets and took some friends to see Tool back in September. For those who didn't see the show this tour, instead of doing and encore (something Tool has never done) the band took a break onstage and sat down for a few minutes kind of watching the crowd. So the guy behind us started yelling about how he didn't pay $60 to watch the band sit around. My immediate response was "Well, I didn't pay a bunch of money to listen to some dude be a cocksucker." Right as I got done, I heard the tail end of Crystal saying "What a cocksucker!" She looked at me glowingly and said "Did you just call him a cocksucker too? I love you!" Great show by the way.

Well last night we met some friends out at the bar, and it became a party night. Many shots and many beers. Apparently Andre Rison frequents a lot of the same places we do, and I've ran into him before. He showed up last night and was kind of hanging out with us. If you ever get the chance to meet him, do it. He's a really cool guy. So anyway, Crystal was in top form and it was hilarious. My normally quiet and level-headed lady snatched him up and took him around the room introducing him to everyone in our group (by the way, I've had to explain to her at least a half dozen times who he is). The rest of the night was pretty much her joking around with him and giving him a hard time. It was funny as hell, and he was a real trooper about it. I noticed the ball cap he was wearing had signatures on it and he let me sign it. I thought it was great that Andre Rison was wearing a hat that I signed instead of visa versa. And then when we left he gave her the hat to give to a friend of hers.

Of course it doesn't take going to the bar for my girl to suprise me, but apparently it helps.

Also, I've learned not to play Homerun Derby on my cellphone in bathroom stalls. I have always referred to homeruns as "taters" or "dingers." I've found it's bad practice to be heard in the men's bathroom saying "Come on! Give me the dinger. Give me the dinger!"

Dear Karma, I am sorry, but we can no longer be associated in public now that you have been fraternizing with a former enemy of the Chicago Bears. Why couldn't you have hung out with a Detroit Lion...oh right...who would ever want to do that?

Hey, you know it pains me too. Only the U.P. roots for the Packers -- the rest of us resent the hell out of it. Plus, he was a Spartan and I'm a Wolverine fan. I'm mostly in it because it shortens my degrees of separation to TLC.

I did meet Barry Sanders once. That's if you consider yelling "Hey, Barry!" and having him smile back "meeting."

Yeah, I thought that the sitting on stage was great at the Tool show. I mean hell if it is between seeing them sit on stage, and having them leave the stage you tell me which is better?

Did they open with Rossetta Stoned?

No, they opened with Stinkfist. They did play Rosetta Stoned though, which I was pleasantly suprised by. My friend Jay and I were disappointed that they didn't play anything from Undertow or Opiate. Did they at the show you went to?

I didn't have an experience at a bar for my realization
My girl bought me That 70s Show season 1 and Spiderman bed-sheets for my birthday
