This one was recorded in two halves. The first half was the Thursday before Presidents Day weekend, the second half on the Wednesday after…
Part One: I have started to learn guitar. I watch tutorials in GarageBand and try to play the chords. Learning to play the guitar stinks. It hurts and is painful and hurts. It is no wonder to me what-so-ever that I gave up the guitar after only 3 months back when I was eight. By the time I tuned the guitar and played through Kumbaya once, I was ready to ditch the real thing and become a professional air guitar player.
I have nothing but respect for all my friends who can play guitar.
Apparently there is a problem in the US with prison inmates using cellphones from within the cell block. Here is the solution: have the prison built by whoever builds Costco stores. Trust me, they’ll never get a signal.
Part Two: We had a garage sale. It was supposed to be on Saturday. Then, it was supposed to rain on Saturday. So we decided to have it on Sunday. Then, it didn’t rain on Saturday. And we didn’t sell anything on Sunday.
Dear Craig’s List; I get it. Love, Dan…
Premium Edition: An hour fifteen
First of all when going into any store and you see people panhandling, taking a donations, selling things, etc. there is a very easy way around this. I wear my iPod into the store. Most times they do not even approach me. Other times I just shake my head no and keep walking. Works like a charm.
Second I hate having garage sales.
Third Dan I finally did it. I bought a Kindle. Let me tell you that you SHOULD NOT buy one. Why? Because it is super awesome, there are lots of free books and you will never get anything else done ever again! For a guy who is a self admitted time waster & procrastinator (your words – not mine) this could be a problem. I know it has been for me!
Other than that I am in love with my Kindle. Seriously, and it is not that passing kind of love either.
OK, this is the RZ and Wayne show again…
I have the same issues here with certain stores and phone signal – I have always wondered if it is the store trying to prevent you price comparing.
Don’t even get me started on the guitar. I have an acoustic sitting in the corner here gathering dust and mocking me and a full electric guitar set up in another room. As you say, it seems impossible and soooo painful. Must be something about getting to 40-ish that makes this kind of thing so difficult.
Oh, RZ…oh man, why bother with a Kindle when you can get an iPad (or iPad 2 now) and just get the Kindle App along with ibooks? OK, I can see how the Kindle has no glare issues, but all it does is let you read text. That’s like 1% of what the ipad can do.
Oh Wayne, I could NEVER spend that kind of money on myself. NEVER. The $135 about killed me – I was able to justify it that it was my birthday this month and I knew my husband would not remember to get me one. Haha. I also had the faint hope it might just be for little old me. Do you have kids? Cause if you do you will relate to this – they use all your stuff. I had hoped that I could curl up with my Kindle in the evenings. You know who is reading it right now – yep, my 12 yr old daughter. She couldn’t wait to get her grubby little paws on it. Now every day when she gets home she says “Mom, can I read your Kindle?” What do you say? No child go play that video game and don’t read. Of course I say yes. What do you think would happen if I came truckin’ into the house with an iPad? I would have to put a picture of it on a milk carton declaring it missing because I would probably never get to see it past setting it up – or charging it for them! My daughter has the Kindle app on her iPod touch but she said it just isn’t them same.
