You say, "hello", I say, "hell no". What rap song is that from? There are "WEEKENDS!" and then there weekends. I had a "weekend". My own fault? Probably. But I choose to blame it on society.

Friday night I picked up a burrito and sat down to watch my $12.99 DVD purchase from Wal-Mart, Minority Report. For $12.99 I was expecting the DVD case to be filled with sand, ha ha. To my surprise, there were actual DVDs inside. Holy crap was that a good movie! I missed it the theatres. Damn, damn good. And ladies, Tom Cruise has never been sexier.

Saturday I woke up around 11:00. I really had a hard time getting going. I watched some car shows, listen to music and then gathered up my clothes for the laundry. I didn't feel like driving to the Nutley laundry so I walked my clothes up the street, the time was 3:30. I get there and the laundry lady is all over me, "last wash was a half hour ago." OK, relax, sweets. It was raining and the thought of walking back with unwashed clothes didn't do anything for me. I said screw it, let them wash it.

I headed back home and planted my fat ass in front of the tube until I was hungry for dinner. Over my vacation I purchased one of those Brita filter water pitchers. Well, the damn thing has changed my life. I drink water now. I got hungry and got a chicken ceasar salad from Boston Market. I watched Insomnia on HBO. Another good film that missed in the theaters. I played some games and then Natural Born Killers was playing on HBO. I don't care for that film but I got sucked in. I fell asleep halfway through.

Sunday it was a beautiful day. I got in the car and drove to a nearby mall. I got a nice haircut. The lady busted out the straight razor on me. That thing's intimidating! But I didn't flinch.
Bob got a haircut
(YAWN!)

Nothing's better than getting a good haircut. Sadly, I really mean that, ha ha. I stopped by Best Buy and was dangerously close to buying a Tivo. I went to the A & P to buy a steak for dinner, picked up my laundry and I was in for the night.

Labor Day I woke up a little later than I planned. It was kind of a big deal at the time because the busses were running on a holiday schedule, kind of a pain. Past Labor Days I drove into the city but I didn't feel the need. I walked to the Path train and within no time, I was in the city. Did I forget to mention that I work on Labor Day? I don't mind at all as I had a lot of time off this summer. Coming in on Labor Day is really kind of cool. We rope off 53rd Street and have a barbecue. Speaking of the barbecue, I saw a guy wearing a bobborden.com t-shirt out there. It was Mark (Marc?) who is a sometime contributor to my message board. That was cool. He was trying to get tickets to the show but I don't think he had any luck. I wish I could get tickets but I can't. Later that day during a lull, I broke down and ordered a Tivo. I found a great price online and just said screw it -- you only live once. I can't wait to get it.

After work I stopped by to see my friend Tiffany's new cat. She adopted it from a shelter. These pet adoptions are pretty serious. But she made the cut and got her cat. Nice cat too. I'm pretty tired, time for bed.

I forgot to mention something. I bought some chocolate milk this weekend and the expiration date was September 11. Come 'on! They couldn't have skipped a day?! Another thing I forgot - two friends from work, at different times throughout the day, touched my hair. That's all I have to say about that.

That's all I got.

Stay Gold,

Bob
