Before and after




Bald is beautiful



The Blazers played the Wichita Thunder the day before Thanksgiving. We were lucky to sit with a group of decent Thunder fans. Every time we scored this guy would turn around and start taking pictures and video taping the Blazer fans. It's only fair that I got a few pics of him, right?!?

They clean up nice


Marty Standish -- why he can't simply smile, I'll never know.


Michel Beausoleil -- it only took three seasons to get this picture.


Denis Fecteau -- no longer with the team -- glad I got this shot.

Another one for Michelle and Sammy



***Ding-ding-ding***
To your corners girls and
come out swinging! LOL!

Sexy and sultry, you're the one all the other reindeer dream about.

Why You're Nice: Because even when you're nice, you're still delightfully naughty!

It's gonna get ugly...

My friend Rocco has rants, and I usually go around listing pet peeves. Since Rocco ain't here to help me rant, I'm going to do it myself. Consider yourself warned.

1. Congratulations are in order to the newest member of my "declassification as a human" list. Arm yourselves with your rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, dirty underwear, broken glass, semi-automatics, whatever, and welcome John Kerry. Way to go John. What an excellent job of opening your mouth and inserting your foot. Mr. Kerry seems to think that my brother, my nephew, and my friend Erin are uneducated. It doesn't matter how fancy your words are dear John. You just insulted my flesh and blood by calling them idiots, stupid, pathetic, whatever else can I derive from the word 'uneducated.' I've got two words for you John -- FUCK YOU!

2. News flash peeps -- your skin color doesn't qualify as a disability -- which is what I told this black woman as I followed her inside Wal-Mart. I politely said, "excuse me ma'am, but you forgot to display your handicap parking sticker." She shot me a go-to-hell look....totally uncalled for. She had children with her so I decided not to pursue it. I do have enough sense to not embarrass a parent in front of his/her kids...although I must admit that I did show her a few fingers.

3. To my new neighbors in the Ford Center -- quit abusing my goaltender. I like Sean Connors and support him when he's between the pipes. But when Sebastien Centomo is on the ice, you will keep your mouths shut. And as a side note -- turn the damn flash off when you take pictures you moron.

4. I HATE FOOTBALL!!! I am sick and damn tired of taking it up the backside for the fucking football programs in this state -- you will notice that I am including the whole state and not just that pathetic institution in Norman. The time of the hockey game has been changed because of OU and OSU playing on TV this Saturday -- well I hope they both lose, no, I hope they get slaughtered. Maybe we should close all businesses (except for sports bars and restaurants) so we can rush home and watch a crappy sport on TV. Ohh, better yet, let's have police escort so we can get home quickly, fire up the grill, and have some hamburgers with our TV entertainment.

I think that's enough for now. I have to turn on the radio and make sure my hockey team wins tonight. If I get motivated I'll post pics later this week.

LOVE THOSE LONGHORNS!!!


Sorry...just had to get that out of my system. At least one team won down in Dallas this weekend...too bad it wasn't the New Jersey Devils (you get an "attaboy" anyway Brodeur).

In other news...the OKC Blazers start training camp tomorrow (hell yeah)...exhibitions start the 12th...I get to pick up my season tickets on the 12th (can I get another hell yeah)...the 06-07 season officially starts the 20th (insert a third hell yeah here)...

I get the funny feeling that I'm forgetting something...oh yeah...#31 is only three weeks away and here is my official b-day list: 1) complete set of Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD. 2) the first five Harry Potter books in hardback. 3) the first three Harry Potter soundtracks. 4) Martin Brodeur's rookie card. 5) a phone call from Wayne Kryka letting me know that he's still alive and breathing. 6) another memory card for my digital camera. 7) an opal stud for my nose (because I've been looking at the black onyx for over a year, and it's time for a change). 8) a home ice victory for the Fort Vancouver Pioneers (I'm not entirely selfish you know).

That's not asking for much is it?!? This should cover my birthday/Christmas list for the next few years.

We are officially approaching 4:00 a.m. in beautiful downtown OKC and I can hear my pillow calling my name. You have been reading the ramblings of the "Hamster." I bid you good morning...

Miss me?

So the BIG news of the day is that scientists decided that Pluto is no longer a planet, because it's too small?!? WTF?!? Thanks for playing Pluto...stick your planet status up Uranus and have a nice life in the far reaches of the galaxy.

Anywho, I've been sitting here thinking...what if scientists decided to do the same thing with people...revoke their status as human because they're morons...sounds rather Hitler-esque doesn't it? However, I do have a few suggestions, and here they are in no particular order: Michael Moore (for obvious reasons), Audra from the Rick and Brad morning radio show (you might as well take that Paisley person as well...hell, take all the chick DJs because they suck), Brendan Morrow (my main reason for hating the Dallas Stars), and my new idiot-noisy-picture-hanging-love-making neighbors.

In other news: I'm still employed, still breathing, still waiting for the puck to drop, still wishing I lived some place other than Oklahoma (like Montreal or Toronto), still single, still waiting for the puck to drop, still wanting to take a week's vacation in either Washington DC or Portland, Oregon, still flirting with the cute atheist kid at the library, still waiting for the puck to drop...

For those of you that know all or part of the "beer guy saga" here's an update...he's been kicked to the curb because he's a vicious pig bastard. For those of you keeping score that makes two guys that I've asked out, and two rejections. Sometimes I wonder why I even keep myself on the market. Not to worry though, I've moved on to bigger and better...at least it will be better as long as my insurance pays for my asthma meds...it's a long story and I'll tell you when you're older...much, much older.

Enough rambling for now...enjoy the latest pics...

From Diane G...with better commentary of course...



Keep your eye on the .....~!@#$%^&*\"?



Don't even get me started...



My road rage prevents this from happening...



Dude, I want this shirt!

Who can find the strike zone? Who can find the strike zone?

Not this moron.

57 days until the puck drops!!!

The Ford Center...contrary to popular belief, this is not my second home. Come October 20th it will most likely be my first home -- HA!



The Ford Center had an open house over the summer. It was a blast. The food was free, the carbonated beverages were free, and best of all...I got to toot the zamboni horn.


"Great Aunt Julie's been cursing again. Proceed with caution!"

This is why Jay Leno hates dog costumes...


"Filled with the Dark Side you are. Gnaw your fucking leg off I will."

You know you're easily amused (or just extremely pathetic)...

...when you start taking pics of the bumper stickers on your car (Semper Fi Joe!)...



...or when you start taking pics of yourself (the homeless guys following me around the garden got a real kick out of this)...

Smurf houses for sale or rent -- HA!

Don't do this, don't do that...

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Pet Peeve #1 -- People who don't knock on the bathroom door before trying to open it. Honestly peeps, when I'm sitting there making #2, I'd appreciate a little privacy. Don't come barging in on me while I'm taking care of business. It's called common courtesy and I suggest you get some.

Pet Peeve #2 -- Cops who don't obey traffic rules. Practice what you preach Officer Krupke, and don't you dare try to give me another ticket for "reckless driving" or "failure to yield." And don't bother coming after me just because you're a little short of your monthly quota. Krispy Kreme is cheap, so go sit down and enjoy your coffee and donuts.

I told my friend Diane G that I was going to rant sometime this week...but it's too damn hot for me to go on a rampage...and it's smelly, too. The OKC Stockyards are near my apartment and I got a whiff of something this morning. One of these mornings when I open my door there's gonna be a cow, a pig, and a goat just standing there smiling at me (isn't that the start of a joke or something?) I have got to get the DingBat fixed by the end of the week...I'm absolutely f***king miserable (Hey Donald and Cheryl -- how'd you like that bit of self censorship? Can you feel the Earth tremble?)

Pictures coming soon...I've just got to do some picking and choosing first...or I could just recycle some old ones...who knows...

Random tidbits...

Is it the 06-07 hockey season yet?!?

Oh honey! Art Linkletter said it best that 'kids say the darndest things.' My nephew Zane told me not to eat baked beans because they make you toot. Little devil. You need to have him tell you a knock-knock joke one of these days.

The idiots next door think they can cover-up their sex sounds by cranking the volume on the TV. It doesn't work you *#$%&+!*&%$# morons!

Is it the 06-07 hockey season yet?!?

Dan, the un-official office hooligan has been going around telling dirty limericks. He dared me to go 'commando' a few weeks ago. I wore a dress to work and he thinks that I actually did it (buying the expensive seamless undies at Lane Bryant is an excellent investment!)

I may have to start a new countdown in the near future...I'm dying to know if it's the 06-07 hockey season yet.

Aunt Julie strikes again...



"Oh, Lord. I do wish someone would take that thing away from her."

Oh honey! You needn't worry about any blackmail with this photo. I know for a fact that your mama and daddy have a pic that you'd consider far worse than this one. Can you say fluffy?!?!?

Just grab your camera and head for the balcony...



About one month ago the tornado sirens started going off downtown. And as every redneck in my complex knows, this is the signal for everyone in my complex to run outside, point at sky and grab your trick knee and say 'Gee whiz Maynard there's a storm a comin!' Unless you're me -- in which case you grab a blanket and pillow, throw them in the entry way (the smallest inside corner of the apartment) then you grab your digital camera, run to the balcony..........and play the waiting game..........leaving the TV on the local ABC channel because they have the best weather coverage.



This is the front edge of a storm front (How gay was that?!? But what else are you supposed to call it?!?) This tornado hit the El Reno area and moved eastbound along I-40 toward downtown OKC (my neck of the woods). I'd run back inside every 10-15 minutes to get an update on the weather...which, of course, was totally stupid because I was standing outside on the balcony watching the events unfold, unleash, whatever.



I took the date/time stamp off my camera, so it's a 'guestimate' that these last few pics were taken between 8:30 and 9:00 p.m. What little sunlight was left was absolutely gorgeous and amazing! I think I'm finished with my black & white phase, and am now fascinated with light.



I printed this one off for 'the mother' and she nearly drove me nuts with all her rotating and 'hmmm' mumbling. Finally I said "Hey Ma! Look at Australia and New Zealand!" How else are you supposed to tell top from bottom?!?



This is the end (thank you Jim Morrison) My batteries died and as I stepped back indoors to switch them, lightning hit a transformer across the street from the complex. I remember my exact words at the time...I'm pretty sure they rhymed with moldy spit. During the light show someone outside starting screaming, so I ran outside half naked (I was actually wearing socks........................................and a T-shirt). My new idiot moron redneck neighbor is out on his patio laughing his head off. Bastard...and to think that I was concerned about someone being hurt...you know sometimes I really do hate people.
