The Bathroom Is A Creepy Place

Apparently all bathrooms/restrooms weren't made to fit everyone. For instance, this last Sunday i went to a restaurant to celebrate my manager's 20th year at our company. I was informed that i would not be able to use the urinal in the guys restroom. I asked why and was told that it was placed in a very high position. When heard about this, i knew i had to check it out for myself. It was true, the urinal's lowest point came up to my waist. I reached up arms length to access the paper towel dispenser. I felt like i was playing the slot machine. This restroom was made for a Giant and obviously i'm not even close to being one. Here are pictures of the aforementioned items:

Folding Paper

A lot of people ask me what step 7 is for the paper crane. Well, I don't even know what step one is. Origami is an interesting Japanese art. Apparently it promotes concentration and fines motor skills. I've just started folding paper and its a lot of fun. I got interested in it by a couple of guys who thought I folded paper. Know I can tell them that I actually can. Here is my progress on folding paper:

Give Me Twenty Son!!!

One..Two..Three..Need to gasp for air.. Its been a long time since I've done any kind of pull up. The State Wrestling Meet was my measuring stick of how out of shape I was. The marines had a booth set up with a tall pull up bar. If anyone got 20 pull ups, they would receive a shirt and 10 would get you a water bottle. As daunting as the bar looked, I took up the task of trying to get 20 of those menacing pull ups. I told one of marines that I'm shooting to get at least one. I jumped up to the bar and hung thinking "Don't embarrass yourself" I flew through most of my pull ups until I got around 10. Struggling to get some extra ones in, I ended up with 12. Not bad for being out of shape. Exercise is now going to be part of my everyday life (At least attempt to make it be).

Here is some footage of the sweet action pull ups done at State:

Can the Hare really Beat the Tortoise this Time???

I had a very interesting observation last weekend at a Home and Builders Show. The company I work for had a booth there. Another booth across from us sold siding and gutter equipment. One of the guys from that booth was just an absolute creep. We had a woman working with us in our booth and came in that afternoon. Once she arrived, the siding dude came up to her and asked her out on a date. Are you kidding me??? This dude was that quick to asking a girl on but didn't see that this lady had the rock on her left finger. She told him politely "NO WAY" This dude was checking out ladies all day. What struck me was that he actually got a phone number. Close to the end of the show, he received a number from a Booth Babe who was selling floors. I thought to myself "No way this creep actually got a number" This guy was fast and upfront with the ladies but persistent in actually scoring with a woman. Unbelievable...please don't act like this guy. Treat women with respect and don't act like a pig. He even tried to offer pizza to us that he made the night before. No thanks, I'll just go to Taco Johns...

Yes Chef!!!

Hello everyone...its been a while since i've posted. I've been watching a show called Kitchen Nightmares. I love this show! It features the one and only chef Gordon Ramsey. You may have seen his other show: Hell's Kitchen. I love how Gordon approaches every restraunt/kitchen situation. He tries out their food, observes dinner services, and then looks to ways to improve them. He really does his homework and is a very in your face person. I recommend watching at least an episode to see how he does w/these restraunts. Its awesome...
