I'm on a role

Ok I'm on a role with actually posting shit here so I figured I'd make it three in a day. Maybe more if I come up with something else to say.

So I should comment that after seeing a few negative things in a married couples relationship I did hang out with my friend M and his wife J this weekend. M is a much better person that my friend A so I think that's why his marriage seems much smoother. He's honest with his wife. They are really good together. She also seems to keep him motivated on projects. Something I could use a bit of help on. She's trying to get us to finish the poker table we started building. Its a prototype kind of. I had great visions of building these things quickly and cheaply and with the huge market of celebrity poker TV shows and home Texas Hold'um tournaments

I'd have lots of orders for them. The drawback is it requires some upholstery which is not my strong point. So it was definitely a learning experience and again... A prototype. I think in the end we will have a respectable poker table but not quite what I envisioned. The sequence we followed was a little backwards and we ended up having to ditch the cupholder idea that we had and now I think they are only going to be decorative wood accents separating the player spaces instead of cup holders. We also realize we should have went with high density foam padding instead of low density. Not sure how comfortable the padded arm rests are going to be. Also I need to figure out a better way to make upholstery folds. Also if anyone knows a good way to make upholstery piping with vinyl (faux leather) leave me a comment. We realized we have some joints to cover up and the piping seems to be the solution.

Of course our motivation only seemed to last while his wife was around. We ended up making a hardware store trip that turned into a lunch trip too. We ate at a pizza shop with a really cute waitress. I was trying to guess how old she was when I asked M what he thought. Apparently we are both terrible at judging age. He said anywhere from 20-22 and I was trying to be overly conservative and said 16-18. I guess I could have asked her to confirm our stupidity. My anxiety put a nix on that. I figured if she ened up only being 16 I'd feel like a perv checking her out. So I didn't ask her. So we got a little bit more done on the table. Still not nearly finished. Even ate dinner there. It was nice to not have to eat alone. M let me borrow the movie About Schmidt. I had let him borrow Requiem for a Dream earlier. We sat down and went frame by frame to figure out what the third JUICE requirement is. Be excited, Be Be excited! Lol that infomercial is so funny. Of course the first two are No red meat and No refined sugar. The third is never actually said and its only written on a white board on the screen for a flash. At first I thought it said No Grease. Then we went back and we had no clue what it said... It definitely wasn't grease. Then AHA... No Orgasm. No wonder those JUICE (Join Us In Creating Excellence) are such wierdos, if I didn't do any of those things I'd be a chanting retard too. Anyway if you never saw the movie you have no idea what I'm talking about. It's lunch time I'm hungry...

I have always wondered what the third requirement for me to "be excited! Be, be excited!"

Thanks to you, now I know and I don't think you'll be seeing Juice by Travis anytime soon...
