Lying to a boyfriend “I am pregnant” has to be illegal. That happened to me three times in the past. I tell ya, it can really mess up a person. Horrible, horrible thing to do…

Happy Labor Day 2011
Thank you for visiting.

Happy Labor Day, everyone.

I don’t work physical labor. But I can use a long weekend. I’ve been putting so much over-time that I’ve been totally wiped out for several weeks now. I can use some sleep.

I was home alone for the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, I ate baby back rib and ribeye steak.

I listened to a lot of Christmas music this weekend. I burned Christmas candles and watched Polar Express. Polar Express is a relatively new movie, but it quickly became my favorite Christmas movie. 

It’s 2 am Labor Day (Monday) morning. Summer is unofficially over. I have a door opened right now. There is a hint of winter in the air. It’s crisp and cold. I’m going to bed now.

Costco will be closed for Labor Day. I wonder if Bed Bath and Beyond will be opened. I was home alone for 2 days straight. I want to drive around a little.

Good night~

ZZzz

PS. I thought about opening a Match.com account. I’ll think about it later.

Costco Bicycle – Northrock
Thank you for visiting.
John

Check this out. This is my new Costco bicycle.

  • I replaced the seat.
  • I installed a rear-view mirror.
  • I have iPod Touch speakers in front. It also holds my camera & keys.
  • I put my sunglasses under the seat.

I am aware this shape is supposed to be for girls. But I like this model. It’s very practical with access space in front. Who cares what other people say? OK, you are better than me. See ya~!!

I am having a lot of fun with my new bicycle. I ride to a local park and play backboard (tennis). It gives me 45-50 minutes of light aerobic workout. I sling a tennis racquet on my back (like a guitar). This is more entertaining than I imagined. I just need to be very careful.

Also, as I ride around the town, I get to meet people. 

We have a really attractive neighbor. She’s a lean blond, kind of rock band groupie type. She was surprised to see me on a bicycle. She gave me a hug for the first time. That hug paid for my bicycle.

Also, I met another neighbor – she also complimented my bicycle and my outfit. NO, I do not wear tights. I wear my regular running outfit I bought from Costco. She invited me to visit her sometime. She also gave me a hug.

I may be residentially challenged. But, ah~! the beauty of living in an apartment complex. 

Anyway, the bicycle is fun, and it’s good for me. Money well spent.

I need to keep reminding myself to be very careful when I ride. (fingers crossed).

Curbing Cravings for Soda – Iced Tea Glasses
Thank you for visiting.
John

Almost all soda pop is bad for you. If you want to play safe, you should not drink any soda. Diet sodas are just as bad, they say (or even worse). I’m not an authority in this field. So don’t ask me why. 

I don’t drink soda every day. Soda is a luxury item to me (I am poor). I only drink diet cola on weekends or when I eat out. As you know, I never eat out during the weekdays.

To curb my craving for soda, I drink water in these iced tea glasses, usually with a slice of lemon. With these glasses, drinking water is more enjoyable. I don’t miss soda much this way. When I serve water to guests, water becomes a refreshing food item, rather than a utility item for hydration.

Neighbors’ Dogs
Thank you for visiting.
John

These are my neighbors’ dogs at the nearby park.

I was just chillin’ with an older dog until the little guy came along and knocked me on my butt. Both of them are my neighbors.

The white dog likes me a lot. She goes crazy when she sees me. So her owner lets go of her leash when she sees me, and the dog will charge at me. But, this time, there was another dog getting on the bandwagon.  haha..

(there is no audio)

I am back
Thank you for visiting.
John

Just so you know..
I am back from Alaska Cruise

The trip was a gift from my parents. I could never afford a cruise like this. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us.

I don’t want to brag about it much, but it was fun. And I needed a vacation. I took a helicopter ride to a glacier; I took a water plane ride to a crab house, and I ate a lot of fresh crabs. Oh my God, the crab was amazing.

There was a group of Amish people at the cruise. I thought that was funny. Then I got “shunned” by Amish people. They would talk to my friend, but they wouldn’t talk to me.

I learned about Amy Winehouse’s death when I was in Canada.

I came home Sunday at 11 pm. I need to sleep and get ready for work tomorrow. Now I shall work none-stop until I die.

I am going to Costco tomorrow.

Can’t Go Wrong with Whispering Chorus (music)
Thank you for visiting.
John

This blog is for lovers only. 

I came to this conclusion a long time ago that, for a love song, you cannot go wrong with any song that contains soft whispering background vocals.

If a girl doesn’t like any of these songs, I wouldn’t go out with her. Why even bother when she is that insensitive and dry? Here are a few examples of whispering songs from the top of my head. If you think of any other whispering songs, please let me know.

###

This is my favorite. Ah~ the memories of the ’90s

Randy Crawford – In my life

###

 Dr. Hook – Sharing the night together

###

Another oldie – This version is better than Sam Cooke’s original version. You know why? That’s right because it’s got a whispering chorus. That’s why.

Mickey Gilley ~ Bring It On Home To Me

###

Everyone loves this number

Gino Vannelli – I Just Wanna Stop

Keep your eyes open for Christmas items when you go to Costco. Christmas starts in Summer in Costco.
