I Walked the Line

Few weeks ago I was up in Appleton at a local drinking establishment. Started drinking at oh, 11pm. Total consumption. Two Rolling Rocks. We left at about 1:30am because it kinda, well sucked. Driving my friend back, i managed to get pulled over. Mind you, i had TWO beers over two and a half hours.
The reason I got pulled over was legit. I had a burned out tail light. Okay, Thank You mr. officer (he was cute by the way). Oh whats that on my breath he smells? Oh, yeah the two beers i had over the two and a half hours. He asked me what I had to drink. I reply "I had two bars. I mean two beers at the bar." Yeah, i was boned from then.
He got to do the whole "Follow my finger with your eyes, don't move your head" I swear he was trying to trip me up. But consuming only two beers over two hours i wasn't even close to being drunk, wasted, whatever. Got to walk the line (count to nine, return, hands by your side). Yeah, being not drunk, that didn't work for him anyway. He whips out the breathaliser. Gave a quick blow, and there were a bunch of zeros, and a two at the end. Yes 0.02. .08 is the legal limit in Wisconsin. I think .025 is the legal limit to fly a comercial jet liner as set by the FAA. I was sent with a warning for the burnt out tail light, and told to drive safely.

I noticed that I'm getting a few hits from Google Financial regarding a recent negative experience with SunCom Wireless.
Lil il back ground.
T-Mobile has no network of their own in North Carolina (aside from Elizabeth City, which I wasn't at). Roaming options were limited to Cingular and SunCom. T-Mobile now prefers roaming on SunCom over Cingular, and actually won't allow network access to Cingular. When I was there my phone would default to SunCom, and if NO network was available it would allow Cingular roaming. So, I was in Lilington, Dunn, and Raleigh. Calls would usually complete. But would generally require a moment or two to set up the call. Audio was garbled at best, then dropped pretty quick if i wasn't staying still, or in an extremely well covered area. My phone wasn't an issue. I took a Nokia 6230b (unbranded) and a 6101. Two very strong preformers. But neither could hold a call on SunCom to save their life. When allowed to roam on Cingular the problems went away. So... this is why I think SunCom is less than desireable... Anyway.

Cold?

Its still cold. Assholes.
Anyway, I ended up staying home this weekend. The car was all packed, gassed up and ready to roll. I dunno why, just didn't feel like going. This will be the first time in a while that i was home for a few days, wasn't sick, and didn't go anywhere. Got the house cleaned up a bit. And froze in general. And happy friday the 13th everyone.

Seriously that sums today up. Pretty fun huh?

Oh the Places I've Been

Its been a busy travel year for me. (And i'm still not silver elite on northwest or continental.... that was kinda my fault though)

March: Atlanta (fantastic city, friendly men)
May: Sanford NC... it wasn't Atlanta
July: Los Angeles, Palmdale, and West Hollywood (didn't get any, saw a lot of hotties, and I got lost a lot... a lot)
August: Grand Island and Omaha, NE and Council Bluffs IA. The cornfields there are FLAT FLAT FLAT. Basically ya land in Omaha look west and can see Wyoming... sadly i'm not joking.
September: Back to North Carolina, Raleigh this time. Whole lots more to do this time, and I had a rental so I was mobile. BTW SunCom wireless leaves a bit to be desired.
October: Off to Minneapolis to spend the weekend with DairyBoy. I'm driving this time.

I made the mistake of having my Continental OnePass account credited for all the flights and I flew Northwest most of the time. Over 25 legs, but only 10 of them counted, kinda missed the miles too. Oh well. There's always next year.

As for today? Yeah, sat at home, its cold out (22 degree windchill anyone?) and it snowed today. Yeah, that bitch mother nature. Anyway.

That is all,
Robbie

Happy Belated Blog Birthday

So two years ago I finally got around to getting this whole "blog" thing figured out. And in the past few months I've kinda neglected it. I am going to work on "relaunching" this. I've had the same layout the entire time. So lets get to know me again:

The name's Robbie (or rob), i'm 24, live in central Wisconsin. I work as a telecom consultant. I've got my own house, and I live with two neurotic cats (Princess Warrior Jinx and Louie). And i'm single.

I promice to post more frequently. Until then.

That is all

Robbie: Yeah, those tacos didn't sit too well. Ryan: Could be an ulser. I had the barium test done. You can see everything. Ryan: I swear the nurse said "whats that hanging by your knee?"

What I Learned In California

Its hot there.
But very neat. I had rented a car, requested something small, like a Dodge Neon. After queueing for a good hour to get my car I learned that all the subcompacts were out, and that they would be providing me with a comp'd upgrade. Woo hoo! A big gas guzzler. I went out to view the car and saw a row of Chrysler 300's and Dodge Chargers. And waiting for me in all its rental car glory would be a rental car white with rental car grey interior Dodge Charger. I was all excited that i'd be able to merge onto the highway with the A/C running. Good thing too because last week it was hot in CA. (not unlike the rest of the country this week). I met up with my two friends that moved there and proceeded to get drunk. As drunk as possible.
First night we went to a very nice steak house, had a few margaritas and a few martini's (read: three appletini's).
Second Day: I attempted to see the Hollywood sign. I couldn't find it. Got lost and ended up in beverly hills. I had lunch on rodeo drive. (If something says "open faced" it comes with one piece of bread. I was not aware of this. Note to self: Do not order "open faced" sandwhiches) Upon leaving i saw and nearly ran over Stephen King. Look for me in an upcoming book as the lead character is nearly killed by a Dodge after shopping in a trendy area.
Later that night we decided to go to West Hollywood. Stayed at the "Hotel Standard". It was a total swinger's hotel. I felt like Austin Powers should be showing up any second. On the plus side, the DJ at the hotel was cute. We went to have sushi at a restaurant and tried to find a club (I can't remember which). I asked at a gas station, nada, never heard of it or the street. We went to a video rental store, they never heard of it either (which was odd because the guy at the counter was a complete queen, she proceeded to say "I've never heard of that place is it new?" to which i replied "Hell if i know, i'm from wisconsin"). A very bad looking transvestite told us how to get there. We promptly got lost.
We ended up following two guys who were holding hands figuring they'd lead us to the gays. They sure did.
Next mission: Find an ATM. Found one.
We proceeded to look for a neat club. Lisa and I decided to go to a place called Mickey's. Three stages and two dancers in a thong.
Aaron went to order drinks and Lisa was chatting with me. She very suddenly turned to me and goes "Is that big guy in the beret the guy from 'King of Queens'?" my responce was simple. "Why yes it is, and the guy behind him is Adam Sandler, and the one next to him is some guy from Saturday Night Live."
Yes, we saw, Kevin James, Adam Sandler, and some guy from Saturday night live at a gay dance club a mere 1.5 metres from a guy prancing around in a g-string.
So we left to go to another bar. went in and Aaron and Lisa both needed to go to the bathroom. Aaron went and came back. Lisa took longer. While she was in the bathroom a lesbian proceeded to grope her, pull her boob out of her dress and ask "When do you think a stall will open up that we can go into?" She came down from upstairs and we promptly left. I also had to explain what a "gaysain" was to them.
Back to the first bar.
We ordered more drinks, and I dared lisa to go shove a dollar down the dancer guy's undies. I explained to him that I thought he was cute (he was hot, smoking hot) and that Lisa was nervous. I gave lisa a few bucks to play with, and she wrapped the dollars around this guy's penis. Did i mention in addition to being HOT he was HUNG. Sadly straight
So Lisa and I went to the dance floor to bust a move and left aaron by himself. About five minutes later he came by with a big smile on his face. Proceeded to say that he got hit on. Yes, he's straight, for now it seems.
We were getting ready to leave and Aaron needed to go to the bathroom, he was afraid to go alone. With good reason. So I went with him. This guy who had been cruising me the whole night followed us in there. The entire row of stalls were open, and aaron and I had one between us and about 15 others to choose from. Nasty guy was right next to me. I finished up, and he proceeded to spread out against a stall wall and ask whats up? by this time aaron finished up and i grabbed him around the waste and whispered in his ear "act naturally" and put my arm around his waste. We exited and i released him to his fiancee. That was the night, except for a few dozen drunk calls. If I called you I'm sorry bout that.

So yeah, its hot. The A/C in my car couldn't keep up. The evil perrils of a black on black car. Yesterday a cold front moved thru, prompting storms, and a subsequent cool down. Temps yesterday 104. Today 84. The a/c is off and i'm happy....until tomorrow when the heat returns.

That is all,
robbie

Strep Throat Special Edition

It appears that i have managed to get strep throat again. My throat started to hurt when i was still on the pennacillin, but apparently the infection hadn't cleared up. And gave me the neat opportunity to pass it to a co-worker, who then passed it to another. Fortunatly i'll be out of the loop for a few days. The doctor put me on amoxacillin for 7 days. Hopefully I won't have to worry about anything else while i'm on vacation. So scott, i'd stay west of the Mississippi. Count down to Cali. I should really get a decent sized suitcase. The one i have now is a little too big for weekends. That is all, robbie

Mile 30 194

Ah Country USA DONE!
It was a good time. But I'm so glad its done and over with. Four days of LONG hours for me. Is it vacation yet? I'm ready.
I've been pretty much burnt out the past week. Last night I did go to a T-Rats baseball game (its a local minor leauge team). And had a blast, just the thing I needed to do to relax a bit. We did get a suite to hang out in during the game. Which was really neat. Private bathroom, a waitress for food stuffs (which i found out after several trips to the consession stand for beer, i mean hot dogs, no i mean beer).
Well folks it seems that Atlanta is winning again. Apparently I was a hit there last time I went there. Anyway, send me an e-mail (link to the right), on your vote. I'm getting bored with figuring out where to go.
Nothing noteworthy has really happened in the past week or so. Its been pretty boring around here. Sleep deprived, etc. Just wait until after camping.

That is all
Robbie
