Your first crush.
As a child, I moved around a lot because of my dad's job. We were never in one location for more than about 2 years. One of our moves landed us in Marietta, GA. At the time I was in the 6th grade at J.J. Danielle Middle School and I fondly recall that was when I set my eyes on a spunky brunette named Susan Jones.
One day, we were on a school field trip to Stone Mountain. At the end of the day, she and I bought a pair of official Coca-Cola sunglasses. I came across my pair of Coca-Cola sunglasses the other day. She and I never went out. It wasn't because she wouldn't go out with me (I guess). It was because, I never could bring myself to ask her. We were friends, but that was as far as it went.
As I looked at the dust covered Coca-Cola sunglasses, I wondered to myself, "What would have happened if we'd hooked up?" Then I realized, "Good Lord man, you were in 6th grade. That was like 20 years ago. Snap out of it."

Heads Up, No Cell Phone For Me
My Cell Phone will be off until Friday February 24, 2006.
There has been some sort of F-up at Sprint and it's showing me as having gone 66 minutes over my 300 minute limit... but I still have 8 minutes in the "remaining minutes" column.
I know it makes no sense.. how can I be over my minutes, when I still have 8 minutes left?
Also, I had 120+ minutes last Thursday, and I didn't talk on my phone during the day, + weekends are free, and I was down to 30 minutes this morning. So something is jacked up somewhere.
If you need to reach me, you'll have to call the house or work.

Now -THAT- is what I'm talkin' about.
Tuesday night, I was talking to Kent and Kevin, and mentioned that I have never gone out with a girl anywhere close to my age... much less anyone that was older than me. In fact, I don't know any girls that are older than me.
Well let me tell ya, times are changing. Tonight I hung out with a girl who was older than me. She's 41. I'm 31.
WOW... Yes... that's like the exact opposite of what I would normally type. It's usually: she's 21 and I'm 31.
After spending 4 hours with her, 2-hours at the Huntsville Country Club, and then 2-hours at Humphrey's downtown, I have clearly been missing out. Which I knew, but was in complete denial about.
The best thing about tonight was, hanging out with 300 Group 1 people. Made several new friends and some acquaintances... and became known as "The Guy Looking For The Letter C" Love it.
Today has just been an absolutely fantastic day!!
Now, I must try and sleep.

Yesterday was the busiest day for Private Investigators
Indeed more PI's are hired on VD than any other day of the year. Correspondingly, today is the day with the highest number of divorce filings each year. For those of you who are single, a whole lot of people are fixing to come on the market. Just be sure you don't hook up with the one who was busted cheating on VD.
Can someone please tell me
So last night, we're all up at Applebee's hanging out at the bar. There's a guy sitting across the way who has his baseball cap cocked at about a 70 degree angle on his head. Can someone please tell me why people seem to enjoy looking retarded like that? It's night time and you're in a restaurant….
Likewise, tonight I was at Wal-Mart... aka Hell On Earth (HOE) and as usual Group 2 people are all over that place like ants on spilt ice cream on a hot summer day. One of the girls I saw had piercings all over her face. I'm like, "Good Lord you look hideous." Why would anyone do that to themselves?
We're harvesting organs over here
Apparently there is a new propaganda movie coming out starring Billy Zane of "Titanic" and "Charmed" fame, and Gary Busey (enough said) which shows psychotic Americans shooting innocent children, harvesting their organs, and sending them to the Jews. There's one we can all –not- go see.
The Catalog
Today, Sara gave me a catalog from Urban Outfitters, and Good Lord Allmighty... I was looking at the prices of clothes in there and was like, "There is no way I'd pay $xxx for this or $xxx for that. She was like, "Well you're cheap" and I was like, "Well if that's what you want to call it." She was like, "If I had money like you did, I'd be wearing some pretty cool clothes." and I was like, "So you'd spend all your $$$ on clothes, and then what would you be left with?" Then she said, "But sometimes you gotta buy quality vs quantity" and I was like, "You're telling me that this $140.00 pair of jeans is going to last longer than this pair of $25 Old Navy jeans I've got on." She then said something like, " Why are you being so difficult?" I muttered something like, "I'm just messing with you. You know I'd buy you whatever you wanted." Of course, I was only joking. Or, was completely serious. One of the two. Hoot Hoot.
I need an 8-year old on the phone.
That was the premise presented by Glenn Beck for prioritizing the news stories that we see each and every day. It's amazing (well not really) how the press is acting like big babies because they weren't the first to know about the hunting accident that the VP of the USA was involved in.
Now, you have to ask yourself, "How does this affect my life?"
Correct, Dick Cheney being involved in a hunting accident has absolutely nothing to do with anything important in any of our lives.
The headlines read, "Dick Cheney shoots man in face" and makes it sound as if he was robbing a convenience store with a Colt 45 and blew a guys face off. This is not at all what happened. The injured man was peppered with bb's. See, people who don't know about guns, and how guns work, and anything about hunting shouldn't be reporting as if they know what they're talking about.
So, Glenn had a variety of 8 year old kids call in and was asking them to prioritize various news stories. Oddly, they put them in the correct order of importance. What does it mean when 8-year olds have more common sense than the majority of people involved in reporting news stories? My favorite went like this:
Glenn – Tell me which one of these stories is more important. The Vice President is involved in a hunting accident, or, Iran seeks to develop nuclear weapons.
8 Year old boy – Iran seeks to develop nuclear weapons.
Glenn – Really?
8 Year old boy – Of course.
Fun times ahead
The schedule has filled up quick this week, with stuff going on every night for the next 4 days. I love it when a good plan comes together.

Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner.....
Although, of course, that really has no bearing on my life at this point.... so whatever.
I know I posted this a while back, but it was about a year ago to the day that I got the idea for this diddly.
I do believe we're going to do a SPECIAL Valentine's Day edition of the Jeff and Kyle show, featuring special guests J-mo and The Playboy. Should be a lot of fun... and yes I know, I haven't posted the new year's show yet... I've been slacking.
Anyways, we'll probably be doing call-outs to you guys, to check in and see what special things are going on in your lives... so all of us single people can live vicariously through you.
Be sure and tune in on FM 98.7 WOWL, The Owl; Up All Night... for North Alabama's fastest growing talk show and the 3rd most popular show on the Internet.... The Jeff and Kyle Show!
Or, add us to your AIM and YIM as "JeffandKyleShow"
In other news, it was a good weekend. Went to Nashville yesterday for Jeff's birthday party, which was combined with Julia's. That all took place at Shane and Melody's house... where it snowed about 2 inches while we were there.
We played the 2005 Modern Trivia Pursuit game, and learned that I don't really know anything about modern culture or what goes on in the entertainment world. Of course, I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, so that probably has something to do with it.
This morning at church, I just was not into it. Slept horrible Sat night. WOke up with a major coughing fit at 2 AM and it wouldn't go away.
Went to Camino Real on 6th AVe for lunch with the teenagers from church. I was drop dead tired, and then when I saw some weird large bug crawling on my side of the booth, .... that was it for me. I was out of there.
Slept all afternoon. Watched some Extreme Home Makeover tonight, and then worked on video stuff. Bedtime.

You lied to me..... you freak.
Saturday I was in Nashville with the band. We were cruising around and stopped at this one music store. I spotted an acoustic guitar that looked pretty nice so I started playing it. It sounded and played awesome. The tag on it said it was on sale for $1758.00.
The salesman came over and wass telling me how they recently got that in and blah blah blah. So I looked inside the soundhole, and I saw it was a 2004 model.
Not only that, but where the neck joins the body, there was a considerable amount of dust which had accumulated at that joint, and it was obvious it hadn't been polished in a while.
I'm not sure what their idea of "recently got in" means... but it's clearly different than mine. Even if they did just get it in, it had been there several months. The level of dust that was present doesn't accumulate like that in 3 or 4 weeks. Especially when you consider these guitars were all in a special treated room with humidifiers.
Anyways, that kind of torqued me a bit. What do you think I am? An idiot? I"ve been in the music business all my life and have been around the retail sales portion of it since I was 18. I know the ins and outs of all that.
Anyways, I haggled them and they countered with $1699 out the door on it, but I wanted $1600 out the door for it.
I just couldn't bring myself to spend that extra $99.00
So, after 10 hours of guitar shopping, I came home without a new guitar.
Oh well.

Jeff, J-mo, and Kyle's Excellent Adventure
To me, the day felt like any other day on the coast. The sun was shining in a cloudless sky of brilliant blue, casting a glistening shimmer off the water far below. As Jeff and I strolled along the rocky cliff looking for women, thoughts of falling into the pounding waves crossed my mind.
Just ahead on the right, a grassy knoll protruded into the sea. The vibrant green grass, dark brown rocks, and contrasting deep blues from the ocean created a beautiful scene.
As we approached, I noticed there was a large helicopter hovering over the water with what appeared to be rescue lines dropping down from the sides. Two men wearing olive green jumpsuits with red crosses over white backgrounds on their backs leapt out of the helicopter and into the water.
The scene shifted and we were now walking along a sandy shoreline with waves lapping at our feet. The beautiful bikini clad brunette we were following told us that just over the next sand dune was a great place to lay out.
The scene shifted again. It was now night. Jeff, J-mo, and I were on a bicycle. I was peddling the bicycle, and they were standing on the rear pegs behind me. We found ourselves in a dimly lit parking lot, in what appeared to be an alley behind a mall. As we rode along, I noticed a grungy old man with a long dark overcoat standing beside a large dumpster on our right. Suddenly fear overtook me, and I tried to veer left, but I didn't do it in time.
With surprising agility, the old man lunged for us and grabbed a hold of my shirt. I tried to shake him off by punching him in the face with my right hand. He proceeded to bite my hand. I yelled at Jeff to hit the old man, but Jeff just sat there, frozen in terror it appeared. Then I yelled at J-mo to push the old man.
Then I woke up.
Wow, no more Ruby Tuesday Sirloin Steak Stacker's before bedtime. LOL Last night the three of us took out Kristin for her going away party and I ended up eating a late dinner around 8:30 PM. I knew better… but oh well, it keeps the blog entries interesting, that's for sure!

One Down, Eleven to go.
I ask you, "How can it be February already?" If things continue at this pace, 2006 is going to cruise by as the fastest year in history! It seems like just yesterday that we were all at Logan's celebrating my birthday, but that's been just over a month ago. It seems like just yesterday when Brandie told me she wanted to go out, but that's been nearly two months ago. It seems like yesterday that this other cutie said she wanted to move in with me. Oh wait, that was last night. Hoot Hoot! Things are looking up!
This guy I know is 30 and still lives at home with his parents. He also doesn't have a job. We were talking Monday and he was like, "I gotta get a job so I can like ask some girls out." I was like, "For real, you also need to move out. You can't be 30 and be living at home with your parents. That's crazy."
Planned Parenthood
I found out what that is today. It's where girls go to buy birth control at a discount rate, according to this one girl I was chatting with today. It's not where you go to get an abortion. I guess I believe her.
It hit me like a ton of bricks
I'M OLD.
I AM AN OLD MAN.
During lunch today, I was talking to Jennifer. I saw her Monday night at the Princess Theater. She asked me, "Did you ever have him in class?" I replied, "Yes I did in 1994 and 1995" Then it hit me…Holy Cow! (No, I'm not Hindu) That was over ten years ago!
Lucinda Bassett
Yes, you know who I'm talking about: The lady who does the "Center for Anxiety and Stress" commercials on the radio. Call today! 1-800-500-2021. Well I went to their website today. Man, if that's her in the picture on the website front page... where do I sign in at? LOL
