How about listing some of the good things that happen in our lives for once. Maybe we can look back and be a little proud of ourselves when sometimes no one else is.
*Please note that for ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction...so I'm sure there will be a zombie-dog-rape thread coming soon.
Anyways......
For me...that I can think of....
1. Bought a House
2. Bought a new car
3. Lost 13 lbs
4. Traveled to K.C., tailgated at Arrowhead and saw the Eagles kick the chiefs asses.
5. Finished a 57 mile bike race
More to come soon...

Freedom of religion, sucka.

3) Had Kid
4) Still Married ;D

I was ordained by a non-denominational church. Technically, I'm a Reverend. Then I registered with the state in which the wedding took place. Then I conducted the ceremony and signed the marriage certificate. Presto, husband and wife.

Nice. That would be pretty dope though. What goes into getting ordained by a non-denominational church?
Free on-line registration.
a wedding ceremony conducted by Dio would be quite the Wedding. :evil

QuoteHad a song I made up and at a soccer game mentioned in a newspaper report.
Weird, I was just talking to my dad about the songs and chants at soccer games. I was tuning into some soccer...I mean Football channel and it was a game in Argentina between Boca Junior and River Plate and the chant that the stadium had going gave me chills up my spine. If we had something similar to that other than the Eagles fight song...that would so totally kick every other teams fans asses.

There are no such things as Newcastle beer mugs. You drink it in a half-pint glass or, in some Tyneside alehouses, you get thrown out of the window of your choice. (My mam and sister are from Newcastle and I consider myself half-Geordie, so I know this!) My present is a coffee-tea mug from the home of the world's hottest curry. (http://www.curryhell.com/) FYI, I always thought Philly and Newcastle were very similar cities. Underrated culturally, in the north east, very passionate about their football teams though they aren't very successful! Bobbyinlondon is a top notch individual! Very knowledgable about football and his wife works at a bakery at the bottom of my road! This is good as I like sausage rolls. My photoshoot appearance was FRAUDULENT. I pretended I had watched sport for 30 hours non-stop, England played soccer, rugby union, rugby league and cricket, plus Sharapova played tennis. The hot chick is a friend of my housemate's. She has a boyfriend. :boom I used to think she was a fargin' idiot and wasn't really that interested. Now I want to bang her something rotten. Soccer chants are ace, but because they don't have much of an away-fan culture in the US, they are rare. There is a Millwall FC song, "No one likes us, we don't care". I would love it if Eagles fans started singing that!

1. Got a new job

5. Moved out of Malden, Mass and into a slilghtly less zesty mass neighborhood with more stuff to do.
6. Watched the Eagles in the superbowl... after which I drove home to the dozens of farging New Englanders who eagerly awaited my return.
7. Saw my first live Eagles loss.
This year has eaten balls.
Yeah, but at least you got a new job.

Quote from: ConcreteBoard on December 05, 2005, 06:40:12 PM
1. Survived a year of rjs' non-stop nonsense and instigation.
2. rjs got a new job which precluded him from bombarding me with pictures of Jessica Alba's ass and general saltiness towards most things.
1. Passed every single class, and took on extra credit, the hard way (so papers instead of exams) (roghly 20% ahead of schedule).
2. Got myself into the University of Hawaii for a semester.
3. Earned support from my professor for helping me get a place abraod for studies, either in Nottingham or St. Andrews.
4. Doing the above, gave myself the opportunity to quit my job, which I had grown to dislike big-time.
5. Watch the Eagles finally make it to the Super Bowl.
