Thursday 13 Christmas Memories

1. Age 2-3 and being woken up to see Christmas with everyone before my brother left with his GF. We had one of those silver Christmas trees. It was bright and blurry for the 10 seconds I looked at it before I was spun around and taken back to bed.

2. When I was 10 and for some reason I wanted to know what I was getting for Christmas. So I unwrapped all my presents, looked at them, then wrapped them back up. Christmas sucks with no surprise.

3. The first year I had my paper route and I could afford to buy my own presents. I really didn't care what I got that year I was to excited to see how everyone liked what I bought them.

4. I broke up with my ex while we were still dating in a big blow out.

5. Years later to make it up to her I proposed to her on Christmas Eve.

6. Being woken up 2 months before Christmas by my ex since she was so excited to give my gifts. My only question was if I accept do I still get something else for Christmas. She said yes. Sucker!

7. Those first few years when Eric was young and to see his excitement with it all.

8. The first Christmas after we had separated and not to have the contact and to be all alone.

9. And this is my last Thursday Thirteen cause this is where I always get stuck and I'm tired of having so many of this list lying around.

Thirteen Things I Want for Christmas

Trying to keep it in the holiday spirit.

Official Star Wars lightsaber - not the cheap ones you whip out, but the ones that light up and have the sounds. Actually can I just rent one for 15 minutes then I'd be happy.

CD player for my car - The only problem I had when I got my car was that it had a tape deck. It was free so there wasn't much for me to complain about. Not that I would use it much, but there are times when I just want to hear a certain song.

LASIK - my eyes aren't that bad, I hate contacts, and I don't feel like paying for it. So Santa give me a break

The Sallie Mae computer to crash which deletes all my student loans

Some Auto body elves to fix my messed up car door

Replacement for my James Bond Diamonds are Forever plate which just broke

A Star Trek phaser so I can disintegrate all the solicitors that walk through my door and bother me with all their cheap stuff

Flat screen TV - something I'll wait on since they are the #1 returned electronic item in the US. When they perfect it better than I'll make the switch
CD player for the home - I finally retired my old one of 13 years. One day I'll get another one. I have a backup set up, but since I can't blast my music I'll wait.
Light up Harry Potter Wands - when I was at the party when the last book came out I saw these. They looked fun, but I know 15 minutes after I had it I would be bored with it. If I find one I really like who knows.
The Original Dirty Pair manga books - This is the one thing that sucks about Japan. They don't repeat or reissue stuff. I'm super happy to see them do it with moving things to DVD, but print has yet to redone.
My Bubba Gump Shirt - I have no idea where this went other than my ex made it disappear in one of her rages.
I want to drive a Ferrari - valeting I drove a lot of high end cars, but never a Ferrari. The owners of these cars don't let anyone else touch. Selfish bastards.

Weird Christmas Music
(Yes their real, but not really spectacular)

1. Hung for the Holidays (William Hung) - The American Idol contestant gave warring families everywhere an invaluable gift with this 2004 Christmas album. After all, why spend Christmas dinner arguing about politics, religion or Dad’s gambling addiction, when you can debate whether William Hung is a savvy self-promoter or talentless hack instead?

2. Jingle Bermuda Tree Frogs - “You know what would really spice up these vaguely lilting versions of ‘Deck The Halls,’ ‘Silent Night,’ ‘The First Noel’ and many other holiday favorites? Bermuda tree frogs!”

3. Christmas at Luke’s Sex Shop – (Luke) - If the hilariously foul raps of “Ho Hoe Hoes,” “2 Live Christmas” and “Christmas F-ckin’ Day” don’t turn your grandma’s face beet-red, she probably needs a new battery in her hearing aid. And don’t miss “Jesus Is Black.”

4. N2K Nutcracker 2000 - Because there’s nothing wrong with the immortal The Nutcracker Suite that a buttload of synthesizers, disco beats and new songs can’t fix, Nutcracker 2000 drags Tchaikovsky’s Christmas ballet masterpiece — kicking and screaming — into the new millennium. This album was originally recorded to accompany a Cirque du Soleil-type acrobatic dance troupe, which makes perfect sense; your classical music-loving uncle will certainly contort himself into astounding shapes whenever you slap “Party Time (March),” “Sugar Plum Scary” or “Techno House of the Snow Ho’s” on the family stereo!

5. Christmas Bash (Pokemon) - delivers plenty of weirdness, like the version of “The Christmas Song” with various Pokémon characters (collect ‘em all!) trading lines in “We Are The World” fashion, or the creepy, voyeuristic-pedophilic overtones of “I’m Giving Santa a Pikachu This Christmas.”

6. A Twisted Christmas (Twisted Sister) - Christmas Eve won’t be a silent night if these long hair-metal guys have anything to say about it. With their amps on eleven and their tongues firmly in cheek — check out the snippets of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “Hava Nagila” in “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”.

7. The American Song-Poem Christmas: Daddy is Santa Really Six Foot Four? (Various Artist) - How difficult could it be to write a Christmas hit? The words for these twenty-one attempts at holiday immortality were penned by amateur lyricists, then sent to bogus “record companies” who charged the wordsmiths a fee for setting their lyrics to music. Check out the Sisterhood’s “The Rocking Disco Santa Claus.”

8. Mr. Cork's Totally Off the Wall Whacked Out Christmas Songs! (Mr. Cork) - Who is this Mr. Cork? And who let him into a recording studio? Actually, judging from the Casio-quality keyboards and drums on Dr. Demento-worthy tracks like the self-explanatory “Roll Me A Big Ass Joint For Christmas” and the drug-deal-gone-wrong saga of “Santa Claus Got Busted!”, this has all the hallmarks of a home-brew job. The guy’s sure got a professional way with a hook, though: “Diarrhea on Christmas Day” is as relentlessly catchy — and nearly as nauseating — as a bad case of stomach flu.

9. A Colt 45 Christmas (Afroman) - It’s Christmas time in the ‘hood, and Afroman’s lighting up a J, cracking open a cold forty of Billy Dee Williams’ favorite malt beverage, and putting his own distinctively blunted spin on the songs of the season. Thus, “O Christmas Tree” becomes “O Chronic Tree,” “Feliz Navidad” becomes “Police Blow My Wad,” and “Deck The Halls” becomes, er, “Deck My Balls”. “A Strainj Poem” reveals the shocking news that “Miss Claus in court/Filin’ child support,” “Jack Frost is on the pipe,” and sitting on Santa’s sleazy lap may get you more than what’s on your Christmas wish list.

10. Silent Night Christmas Music for Cat Lovers (Christmas Carol Cats) - Despite the group name and album title, only one track on this EP — the opening “Silent Night” — actually seems to feature anything resembling cat voices; the rest are just new age-y synth instrumentals. In any case, be careful about actually playing “Silent Night” around your own cats, because it may well be sending them secret messages. Last year, I’m pretty sure they told my friend’s cats to knock the ornaments off the Christmas tree and pee on the presents, and they seemed more than happy to comply.

11. Britney Spears Christmas (Doctor Peyote’s Shaq All-Stars) - Most celebrity stalkers tend to limit their obsession to one particular target, but rapper Dr. Peyote — perhaps trying to increase his hook-up odds — pledges his undying love to Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Carmen Electra, Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton on this deeply strange Christmas record.

12. How You Doin'? Yanks & The 12 Days of a Guido Christmas – (How You Doin’ Boys) - The perfect present for the New York Yankees fan and/or unrepentant “Guido” on your Christmas list. It also has a Sopranos-worthy version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” that includes such choice gifts as “seven Piazza jerseys,” “five pinkie rings,” and “four fresh cannolis.” A Merry Christmas? Fuhgeddaboudit!

13. Sorry to say I couldn’t find another really bad Christmas album. I know coal in my stocking. Any suggestions?

Thirteen Things I Need to Get Done Today

1. Treat my patients - hey it's a work day
2. Change all decorations from Halloween to Thanksgiving - I keep the office decorated all year round just with different themes. The therapist across the hall laughs at me, but I have to look at this place all week long so it needs to change
3. Move all pictures in office - every month this happens to give a little change to the office plus it puts certain pictures in people's face
4. Print up last month’s patient notes - my handwriting sucks. hey I took the class in school so I type a lot better and faster. Just need to print and file it all.
5. Visit my Mom - get in my twice weekly visits and do her nails today
6. Stop by Walmart for supplies for block party tomorrow - everyone in NY keeps asking "what?" However it is 75 here today.
7. Go to Speed Networking event - I don't know about this event. I get some patients out of it, but the cost doesn't balance out
8. Pick up folders for next week’s Visitor’s day - I'm in charge of our Visitor's day at my networking group so I need to get the pamphlets together
9. Review all patient charts seen last month - just to make sure I'm crossing my t's and dotting my i's. Are patients doing well, have they dropped out, etc.
10. Call my brother with an update - we talked about Mom for a little while, but we ended up talking about parenting and child bullying. Yeah I'm surprised too.
11. Stop by library for another book to read - almost finished with this book and need a new one in the warm up spot.
12. Pick up some more Thanksgiving decorations - I don't have any hanging decorations for Thanksgiving. The pumpkins will work, but I want something else.
13. Go to pizza - Gotta be there at 5

Thirteen Halloween Costumes

Since it is October and thoughts of what to be for Halloween abound I thought I would remember my past costumes.

1. Jedi Knight - This was fun since it was the first time dressing up again.
2. Cowboy - not too original, but too much arguing with the ex kept me from being creative
3. Biker dude – Eric was so sick this year

4. Prisoner of my student loans - this got a lot of laughs
5. Liono from Thundercats - a group of us were suppose to go as the whole Thundercats. Besides my friend John and myself everyone else chickened out. Fuck turds.
6. 30’s gangster – here’s the ex and me

7. Medieval thief - it was a simple costume to go to a college party
8. Zorro – it was an easy costume. Can’t see much of it in the pic, but Eric looked so cute

9. Vampire - this was before the dental work

10. Werewolf - everyone loved the face on this, but I couldn't find a pic
11. Medieval warrior – this was a fun year. We were all in college and went as a theme.
12. Wizard - this is this year's choice. Pics will follow.
13. Mowgli the Jungle Boy – not a Halloween pic, but this is what everyone calls it

The Last Thirteen Things I’ve Seen on DVD

1. Big Trouble in Little China – Just a great hookie movie.
2. 300 – This is such a guy movie and Miller’s visualization brought to film are simply amazing
3. Casino Royale – Actually the only Bond book I read. While Connery is still #1 in my book I liked Craig’s raw and gritty portrayal of 007.
4. Babylon 5 season 1 – Oh I wished I had more money. Best Buy had them all dirt cheap a few months ago. I saw the whole series when it was first on and I loved it. Now going back I really see how it was all scheduled out from the beginning.
5. Two & Half Men season 1 – one of 3 shows I watch a week on TV. I never got to see these and I think I pulled something laughing so hard.
6. Running Scared – this was the other half of my weekly watches way back when. It’s still as funny.
7. My Super Ex Girlfriend – a great movie for us nerds. All I can say is the bed scene.
8. Animal House – I hardly ever see this movie, but it is just such a timely classic.
9. Seinfeld season 7 – The coming wedding of George and Susan nuff said.
10. Iron Man – I was impressed they did a great job of updating the mythos.
11. Goldfinger – One of my favorite Bond movies. With the Aston Martin, the hat and great characters like Oddjob and Pussy Galore.
12. Avengers Unlimited 2 – this was okay. Didn’t do as good of a job with it as they did with others.

13. Azumi – very enjoyable Japanese sword flick

Thirteen Fun & Funky Things in My Room

My Laptop - this is actually my older one that Eric spilled milk into. Still works pretty good.
My Dragon Katana - I'm a big Highlander fan and what true fan is without his sword
My Lava lamp - when I was young I thought these were the coolest things ever. So when I became single again this went on the list to get fast.
My Minatures collection - I paint tiny little guys about 1 1/2 inches tall. I have TONS of them. Now all I have is a small display for them. I use to have a big case to show them off.
My Mermaid Lady - in my early forays out to find stuff I liked to replace the emptiness of my new single digs I found this lady and liked her.
Abbey Road - Besides the large Beatles poster over my bed I have different album covers from a bunch of different artists around the room.
My Futurama guys - I love the show and the metal figures decorate the top of my TV
Dirty Pair gashapon (Japanes animation figures) - one of my favorite anime shows and I have a few different types of the girls
Gatchaman gashapon- No 7 Zark 7 here. The ultra cool and violent Gatchaman in all his glory.
Cyborg 009 gashapon - my first uncensored Japanese animation. I was hooked forever.
Saint Seiya gashapon - The true meaning of persistence.
Space Cobra gashapon - a wise cracking hero and beautiful women. What more can you ask for?

Thirteen Things I Like About Virginia Beach

1. The Ocean - with the pods of dolphins that can be seen daily.

2. The Beach - which is cleaned daily most of the year.

3. The Bay - Ocean too far go to the bay. Water on 2 sides of the city is awesome.

5. Parks - Fish, hike, camp there is something for everyone

Boardwalk - biking and inline skating during the day. Concerts and musicians of all types at night.

Spread out city - we may be the 32nd largest city in the US, but it's because we are just spread out all over the place.

Cheap - I'm from NY so I can say this

No Snow - a dusting here is the coming of the Apocalypse

Not Hickey - with the Navy bases here the area is pretty cosmopolitan.

Amphitheater - great concerts and cheap seats. Ranked #7 in the country

Healthy - the city ranks as #1 or 2 healthiest city in the country and their is plenty to do to keep you healthy here

Not the South - while many will contest this I still think of it as the North with some Southern charm
