H.A.G.S. and all that other stuff no one ever means...

Real Comments from my Junior High/High School yearbooks.  And really, could you make any of this up?  My comments appear in red.

Jeff,
We've been good friends and I hope we stay that way.  We have suffered some arguements.  Good luck with the girls.
Love, Brandon

Jeffy,
Good luck in 8th grade and I'll see you over the summer.  See ya! 
Your Friend, Jim
P.S. Are you gay (With a line pointed at Brandon's comment)

Jeff,
To a cool friend, Sometimes.  Good luck in 8th grade.
Jim
Well, at least I was cool some of the time...

To a Doll of a little guy, Good luck always
Mrs. Robinson
Now isn't that how every 13 year old boy wants to be known as?  A Doll...nice job Mrs. R.

To a Cool, Skinny Dude
John

Jeff,
Good luck in the 9th grape.
Well, the 8th grape was delicious, so I don't see any reason why the 9th would be any different...


Hi Jeff
See you in hell
Brian
A.K.A. the Grim Reaper

Jeff,
Nice knowing you...
I saw this a lot in my yearbooks.  Did people think that my life was in jeopardy and just didn't tell me?

Jeff,
Your nothing more than a stupid freshman this year but your moving up quick.  Remember all the good times in Gilson's math class (who could forget that nightmare).  Good luck with all the girls even thought you'll never have a girlfriend  but you never can tell. 
See you next year, hopefully. 
Matt S.
I don't really see the need to be such an over the top ray of sunshine in yearbooks either....

Jeff,
Stay cool!  Stop lifting weights and eating steriods your getting too big...
Derek
That must be how I strived to my .073 batting average in little league....

Jeff,
to one of my weirdest friends.  I hope you get a hit during baseball season.
Tony
This one seems to ring true even today....

Jeff,
Did we save Alf this year?  Don't get grounded and don't order from anymore children's menus.  Have a good summer.
Andy
But the Grilled Cheese with Batman shaped french fries were so good!  And who could forget Alf!

Hefe -
Well Big guy!  Another year gone by!  Have a great summer - see you next year!
Your Father -
Ron B.
Nice to know that my dad was in the 10th grade with me.

Jeff,
Even though I don't like you that much you are a Yankee fan so you are not that bad.  Have a good summer.
Dave
Thank goodness for being a Yankee fan...

Jeff,
Stop sitting in my seat
Justin
I don't see your name on it.....

Jeff,
Why do you have to be so damn annoying
Love, Kelly
Because Justin keeps accusing me of sitting in his seat.....

Jeff,
I'm glad we've stayed frieds for another year.  Good luck as a Jenior and with the girls.  See ya af tennis.
Kevin
P.S. Sorry so sloppy
There's always one perfectionist in every yearbook.

Jeff,
What up?  When I came to this school I never thought I'd meet a real movie star.
Your friend, Rob Z.
Well Thank you, Mr. Zombie.  I'm disappointed that I got passed over for the role of Michael Myers as a little boy.  As Mrs. Robinson clearly stated, I'm a doll of a little guy....

Jeff,
You are my hero.  I hope I grow up to be just like you.  I love you Jeff
Later, Duane
It amazes me in todays homophobic society how many guys freely admitted their love for other guys.....

Jeff,
Every time I think of English, I will think of the English GOD JEFF!...as you can tell, I don't get out too often but who cares, carry on, keepin on and don't get hit by a minivan.
Dennis
The good news is that the minivan missed me.  The bad news is that the motorcycle didn't....

Jeff,
It was great meeting a fellow Dolphins fan.  We had fun in Sr's and hopefully you'll have fun this summer.  The Dolphins will beat the Jets and win the AFC east.  Have a ball at work.
Kevin
Not even sure how to respond to this propaganda...

Jeff,
the years have gone by very fast.  Always enjoy and remember the times we spent together like playing catch in your backyard to NYC.  Enjoy life's best! 
Your Friend,
Derek F.
I thought this was a nice sentiment to end the blog on "Enjoy life's best!"  Nice touch, Derek!

If I tell you a rooster can pull a freight train, you'd better hook his ass up

Nothing too exciting happening around here lately.  We just got back from going to see Jill's mom and grandfather in Florida.  Funniest thing, Jill's grandfather, who we refer to as Bop, woke up the morning we were driving down there, decided he was bored and went out and bought a car.  He decided that his 2009 Honda Pilot wasn't cutting nothing but the cheese, so he traded it in for a Lincoln MKS.
Crazy! 
That tells me that I'm not towing the line anymore with my 2002 Pontiac.  Oh well, my car needs can wait for awhile.  I'm not even sure what I'd want to get, but I think it would be neat for my car to hit the 10 year mark or something even further.

So, my neighbor, Nick, has these roommates who are positively awful.  Seriously, they are the worst roommates I've ever seen.  They leave oil stains in his driveway, holes in his bathroom door, and worst of all, they don't pay their rent on time.  What a bunch of freeloaders.  He finally decided that their nine lives were exhausted because he kicked them out this week.  My guess is that he won't soon have a worse roommate scenario.  I just don't get it.  How could people be that oblivious?

We are in the planning process towards building a bar in our basement.  I am trying to decide how I want the top to look, but the body of the bar should be a piece of cake to complete this weekend.  Famous last words, right?  We'll see how that goes.
