#5 Christian Siriano for Payless

Check some out here:

http://www.stylelist.com/shopping/gotta-buy-it/chrisitian-siriano-for-payless

From AOL stylelist.. Fierce alert! All you Christian Siriano fans can now wear his fab designs on your feet. The Project Runway alum has teamed up with Payless for his first shoe and handbag collection. He says it was inspired by the Egyptian landscape.

Jerry Seinfeld was amazing last night!!

From his comments about stopping for coffee on the way to Starbucks and the way people "move in" to Starbucks as if it where an apartment to his observations on his 89 year old mother, to his thoughts on a possible correlation between the increase in sleep aid products to the size of coffee we buy, he was dead on! And his schtick on how the words "great" and "sucks" actually have the same meaning still has me laughing.

The show was opened by everyone's favorite hostage negotiator ("I'll gouge your right eye out with my thumb, I shit you not, you little freak!") Larry Miller. He took a couple jokes to get going, but he was very entertaining.

Thanks again for the awesome surprise and a great evening, Lulu!

Our Lil Local Area Hits the Big Time!!

Usually, the only thing that our area is known for are the sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, and dickheads that troll the streets.

Well, not anymore

From the aol.com homepage...

Calvary Chapel
Formerly: Wal-Mart Building
Location: Pinellas Park, Fla.

Calvary Chapel was growing at an extraordinary rate in a renovated Winn-Dixie, when the adjacent Wal-Mart franchise on U.S. 19 closed its doors after nine years of operation. Wal-Mart moved out in October 2001, and Calvary Chapel took control of the building in February 2002. The congregation has grown from 700 to 3,330 since its days in the Winn-Dixie building.

Funny thing is this is not the first business 'reuse' I've encountered in my life. While in High School, I worked at Burger King. Several years later, it was 'reused' into a bank, and you got it, I worked there, too.

We were known as the "Burger Branch"...

Lulu is the BEST daughter in the world!!!

She surprised me with tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld tomorrow night!!!! The show is sold out!

Seinfeld is my all time favorite TV show.

I'm so excited!!

Thanks, Lulu...

We know you're reading our little blog!

But we only get a few comments from people other than ourselves. I don't THINK we are that boring, are we? Thanks to Miss Mandie, Bjorn, and Milky McFactory for following the blog. We appreciate it. The rest of you - get to commenting!

Maybe once we drink the kool aid and get the podcast going we'll seem more interesting.

...sigh...

#5 Spicy Edit

Sentence: So I heard Lexi told Cassandra that she didn't like her anymore and that's why they aren't talking .. spicy edit .. and also because she slept with her boyfriend.

Definition: When telling a story to friends, you realize that the story you are telling isn't as cool as you thought it was when you first started, and decide to edit it with exaggerations or lies to make it sound more interesting.


This type of thing can get a person in a lot of trouble, and others need to be more aware of this when talking to certain people. Why can't people just be real and truthful? If you're writing a fiction story, okay exaggerate, but if your just chatting with some friends, keep it real please..

Thank you Urban Dictionary for this new word.

The Sweet Bitterness of...B'Gosh is on his way back!

#5 Picking Out Your Ass
I mean wedgie in public..




One thing.. Dig a little deeper next time!

To the C-U-Next-Tuesday driving east bound on Nursery Road in Clearwater, Florida at 5:20p tonight...

...that couldn't be bothered waiting one minute for a duck to cross the road in front of you but rather decided to let it leap off the ground into flight THEN RUN INTO IT while talking on your cellphone...I hope the next duck you run across pecks out both your eyes. And the eyes of your children and the eyes of your entire family.

There was NO REASON AT ALL to run over that duck!!! What is so important in your life that you could not be patient enough to wait for it to get to the other side?

Sometimes I really hate people...

The Sweet Bitterness of...Phishing Email

I get several phishing emails every day. If I really was next-of-kin ti all of these long-lost relatives who died in the Congo, I would be the richest man in the world, quite literally. This particular email is the first of it's kind that I have received. It is supposedly from the FBI, even though the contacts are still in Africa. I love that it says "persecuting" when they clearly would have meant prosecuting. There are plenty of other clues in the email that clearly demonstrate that English is not the author's first language. Enjoy!

The Sweet Bitterness of...Growing Old

I want to be Miss Joyce when I grow up!!!

Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked,
'How many of you are willing to forgive your enemies?'
All responded except one small elderly lady "Miss Joyce''.



'Miss Joyce, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?'

I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly.

'Miss Joyce", that is very unusual. How old are you?'

'Ninety-eight.' she replied..

'Oh, Miss. Joyce, would you please come down in front &
tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years &
not have an enemy in the world?'

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle,
faced the congregation, and said:
'I outlived the bitches. '

#5 Brandon Barash

Here is his Bio from ABC.com: Brandon Barash joined the cast of General Hospital in October 2007, playing the role of Johnny Zacchara, the brooding, rebellious son of a mob boss who has come to Port Charles to wreak havoc with the town's residents.

A graduate of the acclaimed theater program at the University of Southern California, Barash quickly amassed an impressive list of television credits including: Tell Me You Love Me, NCIS, 24, Gilmore Girls and The West Wing.

Born in St. Louis and raised in California, Barash currently resides in Los Angeles. In his spare time, he likes to acquaint himself with nature, jump out of airplanes and take solo expeditions to Alaska. In addition, he enjoys photography, singing, writing, listening to music and playing the piano and harmonica. Always up for a competitive game of baseball, basketball or racquetball, he can always partake in one of his favorite pastimes-- eating great food!

"I know my pig!!!!!!!" (NSFW, unless you use headphones)

Everytime this song comes on my iPod, I can't help by think of the video and laugh.



In case you did not know, this video was created by a local female student from the University of South Florida. She received an 'A' for this project.

Thus far, my favorite total-package at the Oscars...

Freida Pinto, from Slumdog Millionaire. The dress is gorgeous. Hair is perfect. And her make-up and jewelry are flawless.

Beautiful, just beautiful...

"Don't get the cheap hot dogs. They make you poop."

I laughed for an hour! Thanks B'Gosh

The Sweet BItterness of...Graduation Approaching!

You may have noticed that I added a countdown to my graduation on May 17. I have mentioned before that this is the culmination of my college career, which has lasted an astounding 25 years! The end is in sight! I took what will be my last exam today. It was actually a DANTES exam, which is bsaically a college-level equivalency exam on what I know about computers and computer software. The exam counts as one class. Since my major - Management Information Systems - requires me to take a software programming class, and since I have been working in software development for the last 14 years of my life, it made more sense to pay $80 to take the exam than it did to pay $965 to sit through a class that is going to teach me absolutely nothing. Now let me tell you, the exam was a lot harder than I expected it to be. A lot of basic computer questions that I hadn't given any thought to in quite some time. I was actually concerned that I might not pass. When I finally did hit that End Exam button, I didn't know what to expect. I passed. It really is a pass/fail situation, so my score doesn't actually matter. However, if I had taken the prep exam that is offered, I probably would have made a score that I could have been a little more proud of. But alas, all that matters is that I passed! Now all that is left is two actual classes that start in March, and my thesis. My thesis should be done by the end of next week. Home stretch. I never knew it would feel this good!!!

The Sweet Bitterness of...The Banana Bunker

Coco and Cookie Update

Coco and Cookie have found a new home! YAY for all the animal lovers out there.

The Sweet BItterness of...Hoodie Hoo Day!

Hoodie Hoo day is a real holiday. From Wellcat.com:

Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo-Day -- At high noon (local time) citizens are asked to go outdoors and yell "Hoodie-Hoo" to chase winter and make ready for spring, one month from now.

Some of the other info I read says that in addition to yelling Hoodie Hoo, you are also supposed to wave your hands over your head. That would be quite a site, wouldn't it? So get out there and yell and wave at Noon today!!!

#4 Iced White Chocolate Mocha

Lola's fave Starbucks drink.

To be honest it surprises me because she hates the coffee flavor, and I think this drink is more coffee than white chocolate. She loves it though.

The Sweet Bitterness of...A Bullet-Proof Weave

Now your hair weave can be used as a shield in your next gun fight with your ex-boyfriend. From the Associated Press:

Woman OK After Bullet Ends Up In Her Hair Weave
Mo. Woman Uninjured After Bullet Fired At Her Ends Up Tangled In Her Hair Weave

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 19, 2009

(AP) Other than having a bit of a headache, a Kansas City woman was uninjured after a bullet fired at her ended up tangled in her hair weave. Police said the 20-year-old woman was in a convenience store parking lot late Wednesday when a man flagged her down and told her that her ex-boyfriend still loved her.

She replied, "Well I dont love him," then heard gunshots. She said she looked behind the vehicle and saw her ex-boyfriend firing a handgun at her. She stomped her accelerator and fled, then turned into another parking lot and called police.

She told officers she recently had ended an eight-month relationship with the suspect.

Police arrested the ex-boyfriend and his friend in a car.

Coco and Cookie - These dogs need a good home!

A family has lost their home, and they have to move in two weeks. They have two labs - one yellow, one chocolate - and they desperately want to find a home for these two dogs together. The rescue group said they will most likely split up, so that is a last resort for them. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please email me at drumrileycalhoun@yahoo.com. Read the email below from the owner...

As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I
have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco.
We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been
desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They
were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab Rescue have
already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.

Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have micro-chips.

Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 on April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably
funny and lives for her "ball". She also loves the water. Cookie loves lots
of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been
raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived
Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family
dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever
had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice.

Please, please forward these pics to all you know and help me find
a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's
heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we
could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them.

I pray that someone somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco
together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the bottom of
my heart.

The Sweet Bitterness of...19 Years

It is had to believe that my friend Kahlua and I started at our company 19 years ago today! This was just going to be a temporary job for me when the company I was working for closed in this area, and here I am all these years later.

Congrats Kahlua! Here's to making it to our 20th Anniversary next year!

Sentence: He is a total douche value pack.

Oh, and you're welcome.

The Sweet Bitterness of...Pug Parade

A post for post's sake served it's purpose, but why not a post to promote a cause! The Sarasota Pug Parade is this Saturday, February 21st....and Pug Rescue of Florida, or PROoF is in desperate need of donations. Their funds are dangerously low, and they will have to start turning away any pugs that are brought to them because they cannot afford it. Be a Pug Angel and donate, if you can. Their website link is to the right on our blog --------->, and you can donate via PayPal.

The Sweet Bitterness of...The Cougay

I love this new word that I learned from last Saturday's SNL. The Cougay is the gay male equivalent of the Cougar, or middle-aged woman who prefers younger men. I think I am a Cougay!!! And does anyone else agree that SNL should just have Alec Baldwin on every week, and forget any other guest hosts? And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they always bring Cameron Diaz in on this skit!!!!

#3 Showing off Ass Floss

I mean thong underwear...




How come everywhere I go I have to see girls like these? Good job you floss your behind and all, but this is totally trashy! First of all we're suppose to be ladies and keep certain things to ourselves and second, guys will look at you as a piece of ass and nothing more. If you want that then that is a whole different story I'm not going to get into right now. Oh, and third you lose all respect from just about everybody. No one likes it, so put your ass floss away when you go in public. In the bedroom that's your own thing..

The Sweet Bitterness of...A Del Taco Wedgie

This commercial is pretty funny...

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

It became even funnier when I realized the guy getting the wedgie is actually bejamin Salisbury, who played Brighton Sheffield on The Nanny! Guess his career tanked!

Damnit Drum...You're Killin' Me!!!

The pictures in the title bar of the blog...they remind me of my summer vacation with Lulu. And of the Dillard House!!!

I hope to see it again soon...very soon...very, very soon...

Bad Customer Service

So I went to Smoothie King at 6331 4th Street North in St. Petersburg, FL today at lunch. My friend Flo ordered her smoothie, and I noticed that the girl behind the counter was a little odd. Once Flo finished her order, the girl just stood there, staring at the cash register and never looking up and not saying one word. I looked at Flo, who said she already ordered and shrugged her shoulders. I asked the girl if she was ready to take my order, and she said, "What do you want?" Uh, no. I told her I didn't want anything because I didn't want to support her business if she couldn't even be bothered to look up at me. Well, this sent her into quite a little hissy. She said, "My eyes hurt, sir. It's bright outside (aren't we inside?), and I'm sorry that I can't afford new glasses or contacts, sir." She went on to say that her boss wouldn't let her go home because he didn't come into today. Then she yelled at Flo and said, "Do you still want something, ma'am?", and then she started slamming her little blender bullshit around behind the counter. And of course, she is crying through her little tirade. Lola was there and will back this story up. And THEN this little bitch makes direct eye contact with the next two customers behind us because she knows I am watching her. She is REALLY going to have a hard time affording new contacts or glasses after I talk to the owner later today and get her fired. Why do people fuck with me? Every where I go. Is it me?

The Sweet Bitterness of... Goodbye

G.I Joe left last night...

But he'll be back this weekend =]

The Sweet Bitterness of...B'Gosh is on the way!

I am in my favorite Sunday Datacommunications class, so what am I doing? Tracking B'Gosh's flight and posting to the blog! B'Gosh is about halfway to Houston, where he will then connect to Tampa. The picture shows the current flight location. Something to take my mind of yet another boring film about computers.

This one is for Lola. Betch.

In exactly 24 hours, B'Gosh will be landining in Tampa. I can't wait!!!
