BoBo’s Blog-O-Rama

Paul will be back soon. Brandon’s concert is Saturday. I will be busy next week.

Basically, I don’t have much to write about today due to being busy. Got Brandon’s show to go to, oodles of movies with Paul, and huge amounts of legal forms to fill out for the attorney so he can get me my money.

The truck I was looking at got sold, so I don’t have the delema anymore. Plus I just put new tires and a battery in my truck so it will stay at least for a little while.

Probably going to West Liberty to watch the races tonight. So I’ll think of something to write about by next week.

Peace out bro’s!

I wrote this huge post about what I did Friday with Zach and Putz, and then I lost the connection to AOL and lost the article. So I got pissed and I’ll just give you a brief description of part of what I did Friday.

J&P Cycles had a benefit for me. I got $900 and a Honda full of groceries from a bake sale, food drive, raffle and 50-50 drawing. I can’t thank them enough. I was getting pretty hungry.

We went to the National Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame in Anamosa. Go there, it rocks.

We saw Cabin Fever. Movie is good. See it.

That is all I am going to write cause I’m pissed.

Now go away!

Johnny Cash, the man in black, is now dead. What a shame. He was a legend and one of my personal heroes and inspirations. And just when I heard that, I heard about John Ritter’s passing too. Man that sucks. Why can’t celebrities that I don’t like die and leave the cool people? Why can’t Richard Simmons die?
And it wasn’t too long ago that Charles Bronson also died wich proves the theory that celebs always die in three’s.

The whole worlds going down the shitter, now that we lost Bronson, Cash, and Ritter.

It’s officially Patriot day and I thought I would put up lyrics from a band called Impeliterri. The album this is from is called System X and it can be hard to find if you look for it in Sam Goody:) Try CDGB’s.

Anyway, the song is called United We Stand and it was about Sep. 11. Here it is.

I kind of face a dillema right now. I don’t know what to do to fix my current transportation status. Now, I can’t drive right now anyway and it will be awhile until I get a new car or truck anyway. But since I’m bored, I don’t have anything else to think about.

I know I’m getting a new bike too but that will not be the main focus of this post anyway, today we focus on cars and trucks.

These are my current choices.

Here we go again with another update on my condition. We will interupt regular programming as information comes in so bear with us.

I survived another boring day today. Well, so far anyway. Here is how the leg doctor visit went.

Terminator movies have it wrong. This is how the world will end. I have seen the future and it is bleak indeed. Do you want to know how the world will end? Step inside and find out! If you dare…. (Diabolical Laughter)

This is a fictional story. Do not take this seriously. Do not panic. Remain calm. This story does depict violence and it contains some adult situations. Viewer discretion is advised. You have been warned!

There, that should get people to read it:)

This thursday is the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Although I am not Mr Patriotism or anything, I still think it was a horrible thing that all those people had to die for nothing. And since then countless lives have been lost under Bush’s blind search for the real enemy. So for the anniversary of the attacks I ask my viewers, Where were you and what were you doing when you found out about the attacks? Every one has one of those older reletives with the story of where they were when something happened like D-Day or Pearl Harbor. So where were you? I’ll tell you my story even though it isn’t interesting to anybody:)

I woke up unusualy early on Sept. 11 2001 but I did not turn on the TV. For some reason for wich I still don’t remember, I got dressed and went uptown to score some breakfast at Gary’s. I didn’t even have to work that day and I didn’t have school cause I went on Mon, Wed, Fri back then. I have since left Gary’s and I no longer go to school cause I couldn’t afford it.

Anyway, I didn’t turn on the radio either cause I listen to CD’s in the car. When I walked into Gary’s I could tell something was up. They had a little radio up front at the courteousy counter (they never have the radio up front unless something happend or a Hawkeye game is on). Plus everyone seemed unusualy quiet and gloomy (compared to the regular kind).

I got my food and on the way out all I got from the lady at the counter was that a couple of planes got hijacked and crashed. I didn’t think it was a big deal then cause that kind of thing happens every once in a while. But it wasn’t until I got back home and turned on the news that I fully realized the extent of what happened. It was on every damn channel! I sat there in awe all day and watched all the stuff happening on TV and wondered “What’s next?”. Will the attacks get worse? Get closer? War? Who did it? Why?

I did feel a bit of patriotism like everyone else that lasted a while. I got a sticker in my window that has Bin Laden on it being pissed on by the Calvin like character dressed in a stars and stripes suit (still there by the way:). I put a few flag stickers on the truck and made sure to buy a United We Stand shirt from the guys at the VFW stand that year.

I just hope that all those people didn’t die in vain. That we learned something from all this. And it’s not better security. The lesson is these people have been pissed at us for a long time but we chose to ignore them because we believed that America was somehow invincible and that nothing bad ever happens here. Now we know. I don’t know if Bushes plan to wipe them all out will work or not instead of understanding why they were pissed and fixing it. But I think they are just jealous of how good we have it over here.

Anyway, enough babble, I don’t have much knowledge in this field anyway, I just felt like babbling awhile.

Anywho, let me know. Where were you? And don’t forget the other days of infamy, Dec. 7, 1942, and most importantly, July 18, 2003. Wich would be, respectively, Pearl Harbor, and the day I crashed my bike.

That is all. There was much rejoicing from the peasants.

Yeah, the title sounds more exciteing than it should. Paul! Stop interupting me Paul. That’s not nice to say Paul. Paul! Listen closely because this weeks bit o trivia is aimed at you. Since you are going to diesel mechanic school, I thought this one was relevant and should be easy for you. Since, as we all know, you are always right.

As for the rest of you, you may learn something too as I doubt many people know this unless you subscribe to and read Car and Driver wich is the magazine I got this info from (thanks Brock Yates for writing an interesting story).

Anyway, lets start off with something simple.

What does a dog with hairy lips say?

I had a cat scan today (get it?) ’snickers’. God I kill myself with my never-ending witt.

Anyway, the whole thing sucked and I won’t even know the results until Thursday.

I had therapy this morning at 8am and then I had to try to be at the hospital in Cedar Rapids by 9:30. We did make it there on time, but, as luck would have it, we parked on the wrong side of the hospital. So I had to walk with the damn crutches all the way across the hospital to the desk we had to register at. Then, we had to walk back the way we came almost all the way back where we were to begin with to the x-ray place.

It wouldn’t be until 11am that I would have my cat scan but in that time I was supposed to drink this stuff that makes my innards show up in the scan. I had to drink two cups of this stuff, one cup every half hour. By ‘this stuff’ I mean shit. It was this white, chalky, heavy liquid that had the worst after taste I ever experienced. Somehow I managed not to puke but it was a challenge.

Then I went into the little room to get the actual scan. At least the nurse was kind of hot:) I had to have an IV put in so they could pump me up with dye. That stuff is weird! It makes your whole body feel warm and it leaves a funny taste in your mouth (like I needed any more funny tastes in my mouth).

They took a whole bunch of pictures that took all of a half hour to take. Then we got to go home. I have an appointment on Thursday and that is when I’ll know how I did. The tests are basically to make sure my spleen healed up all the way after the accident and I hopefully won’t have to have surgery. The worst part is they charge you an arm and a leg for torturing people like that.

Also, the other bad side-effect of the chalky stuff, is it seems to not react well in my stomach and I have to go to the bathroom quite often wich isn’t that fun on crutches in the first place.

Anyway, that’s all the updates for today. Tune in for the next update on Wednesday after I see my surgeon about how my leg.

By the way, I hope I come back negative from the cat scan. If they find a cat in there, I heard it’s real hard to get them out without scratching the shit out of you:)

Chao! Have a bella day!
