War Craft = Death to your Relationships

How many times have people lost pretty much everything because of this ridiculous, habitual, online, virtual, soul-fucking of a game. I mean seriously my friends, are you going to let a video game ruin you? I know several people who actually believe they have a virtual life inside this thing. They think if they don't log on and help their war craft buddies fight a battle that they will be somehow letting them down. They get trapped in a world that really doesn't exist and some even start believing they can make money doing it!! I mean I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this shit. So if you want to lose your wife, your job, your family, and pretty much everything you value in your life, then step on up kids. Step on up and sell your soul to the World of War Craft.

LATERRRR Orange Juice Simpson

Take a bow Mr. Orange Juice Simpson, you're finally going to jail!! I remember when he got acquitted from the murder charges. I was in my 8th or 9th grade gym class and all the guys in the locker room were cheering when the news was announced. I was wondering to myself, how on earth did this guy get off, and why is everyone cheering him. Well, OJ you managed to screw it all up in the end. You could of just gotten away with it and moved to Mexico or some obscure island, but you just had to stay in the news didn't you. You had to go to jail where you belong. I hope someone butt rams you in prison and cuts your throat with a prison shank!!! HAHA

Trail Mix

How could we forget one of the best parts?! The TrailMix! One of the best parts to hiking are the rests that you get to just stop and take it all in and enjoy a bag of trailmix. Now, you can go many ways about this, there are many store bought variations or you can make your own. Here is a great recipe that I recommend, that is healthy too!

Kashi Trail Mix:
1 cup kashi crunch
1 cup yogurt rasins
1 cup crasins
1 cup peanuts
1 cup chocolate covered soy nuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (no shells)
1/4 cup mini marshmellows

"Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder"

"Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" Though very cliche, very true at the same time. For a healthy relationship to maintain normalcy there are a couple things that must happen; and one of those are to spend time apart. Spending time together is very important as well, but so is spending time apart. When two people spend every waking minute together they can start to resent each other for not getting to experience life and the joys that friendships can bring. It is very healthy for both parties to have their set of friends or activities to do other than hang out with their significant other. Whether it be your group of guy friends or her volleyball nights, it is healthy to maintain lives outside of their relationship. Time spent apart from each other will help you realize how much you really appreciate that other person when they're not there. It is good to know how it is when the other person is not there. Guy camping trips out of town or girls weekends in Vegas are some great ideas, just make sure that you have an open line of communication with each other of your plans, when you keep the communication, you keep the trust.

Irish Car Bomb

This drink is a great party drink. Get a bunch of people together doing car bombs and you've got yourself a hell of a time. The Irish Car Bomb is a classic drink enjoyed by many. The ingredients are very easy to find, all you need for one serving is:

1/4 pint Guinness® stout (This is a personal preference though, it can be anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 full) Remember, you're going to have to drink this quickly because it will curdle in your cup if you let it sit too long, so it will need to be drank all in one gulp.
3/4 shot Bailey's® Irish cream
1/4 shot Jameson® Irish whiskey

For a stronger shot try 1/2 Irish cream and 1/2 Irish whiskey.
Once all the ingredients are mixed together and are making their way down your throat it has a pleasant milk chocolate taste that lingers, tempting you for more! Enjoy, this is a fun one!

Doggie Bed

Every dog deserves a good bed. If you haven't spoiled your dog yet, like we have, by letting them sleep in the bed with you, I highly suggest getting a doggie bed. A doggie bed, in a way, lets your dog know that you are giving them a piece of the house to them; as if they have their own room. As humans we retreat to our beds at the end of the night to get some rest and relaxation, why not offer this comfort to your dogs, instead of the cold kitchen floor. There are many great brands out there, but we have been very pleased with the price and quality from the Costco brand "Kirklands." The best part about these beds is that they have a zipper cover on them so you have take off the cover at any time to wash it. The outsides of these pet beds have two sides to them, one side is a warmer wool material for the winter months, and the flip side is a regular material that breathes a little better for the summer months. These come in many different colors and styles to fit each dog perfectly. The prices is fairly inexpensive especially considering it will mean a lot to your dog.

Beverages to drink while smoking cigars

This is totally up to the smoker and what her or she likes to drink, but I have just a few suggestions of what to drink while smoking a cigar. I like a nice blended or single malt Scotch, Port wine, and different fruit juices. Generally things with a bit of sweetness change the dynamic of the cigar and can enhance your smoking experience exponentially. I remember distinctly years ago smoking and sipping on a cranberry juice and it was fantastic! Tonight I smoked a Padron 1964 Anniversary series (my favorite cigar) a sipped on a glass of Johnny Walker Gold. I generally like to smoke and sip on a nice tawny Port wine. The combination of a sweet and nutty tawny and the cigar is a match made in heaven. One thing I would advise against as an avid wine drinker would be smoking your best cigars and drinking on nice red wines. Wine (with exception of Port) was not made to drink with smoke. Cigars will taint your wine experience and I don't suggest a wine pairing other than Port or perhaps Madeira. Good Luck!
