eBay Commercial.

Look, I know I'm late to the party with this, but eBay might just be one of the Best Things Ever.

I have found everything I could ever want on there and more so. Seriously, remember Brewster's Millions? If I was to get that kind of money, eBay would become my bitch so fast it would be forced to change it's URL to eBayThanksMatt.com.

Among the treasures I have purchased. The entire set of Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels for roughly $60. In the store, that would have run me well over $100. I am currently awaiting an updated version of the game Oregon Trail. Yeah, that's right.

Several other graphic novels. A McNair Ravens jersey for Nichole. The entire run of The Greatest American Hero on DVD.

Matchbox cars, one of which is a Special Edition Knight Rider KITT. A Pac-Man lunchbox. Battle Beasts. Some Star-Com toys. An Atmosfear game from way back (scary game where you had to watch a VHS starring an Evil Guy along with the game)

And let's not forget my Darth Vader Toilet Seat cover. You can get a gander at that from my previous post about my bathroom.

My point, if I could be said to have one, is that eBay rules and I spend too much money there. I used to think Amazon.com was the shiznit, but I have since matured and moved on, as my purchase mentions should have already told you.

According to a recent email, Oregon Trail is en route. Can't wait to go hunting then die from dysentary.

Should This Concern Me?

In each elevator at work there is a small metal box within which you can find the elevator's Certificate of Registration. This is given by some sort of Labor & Liscensing Something Or Other. I just looked at it roughly thirty seconds or so ago, and I've forgotten already. Such is my short-term memory. The certificate looks like this: It really is in all of them, I just happened to be in elevator #6. Which is ironic, as there are exactly six elevators. That might not be ironic. Still, though, the position of the elevator I used would not occur to me as #6. I would see it as #3, I think. Be that as it may, on each certificate, in the lower-ish right there is an Expiration Date. We all know our car registration expires, so it seems only proper that elevator registrations would have the capacity to do so as well. Below is a picture of the Expiration Date. This date applies to each elevator, not only The Illustrious #6. Sorry if it's hard to read, but I only had my...

The Road To Betrothal and Beyond.

I am engaged to be married. Now, before you ladies get all depressed and furrow-browed, allow me to add that before I became engaged you didn't have a chance anyway, and, truth be told, I am probably too good for you. So there's that. Yes, after almost exactly two and a half years of dating (and living together for the heavy majority of that), Nichole and myself will be tying the knot. Then, after we finish with our shoes, we'll get hitched. Then, after finishing with the horse and carriage, we'll get married. Tentatively in May of 2009, but I am getting ahead of myself. I decided to do this for two reasons. The first and foremost, I felt it was time. She, being a member of the female species, has been ready for awhile now, but I was not. Not for lack of love or enthusiasm for the idea, I just did not feel the time was right. It is now. Or was now? Is now was? None of that sounds right. The other reason was where we are in our relationship and in life. We have put in fo...

New Mexico. Cow Creek Ranch.

Image
Cow Creek Ranch is located right outside of a small New Mexico town called Pecos. I don't think there is a stop-light in the entire town. There is a few stop signs, I know that much. Also, they take credit cards. I know this because I bought beer right before heading to the ranch. Can't fish without beer. Seriously, it's in the Fishing By-Laws. That I made up. When heading to the ranch from Pecos, you drive up to a dirt road, onto the dirt road, and follow it for about 45 minutes through the mountains up to the ranch. Even once you pass the Cow Creek gate, you still have about 10 minutes of dirt road to traverse. It is an enjoyable ride, but make sure you're rolling with 4 wheel drive because there are some serious divots to work around. A few scenic moments when you hit the top and work your way down, but mainly it's just a lot of forest and several sequestered houses that you will wish you owned because it would be awesome to live in the woods and not have anyone...
