Marriage Counseling

Husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 20 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the male therapist got up, walked around the desk, and after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, ‘This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?’  The husband thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays,… I fish.

Revenge of the Nerds: Four Reasons Women Dig Geeks

July 2nd, 2009 by Jeremy at 12:46 pm

couple_silly

I of course liked this article by Ashley Nelson which lists four reasons women dig geeks (I would have put “digg geeks”).  Here is a quick summary of the article in case you don’t have time to read the whole thing:

  • Defense #1: Bad Boys Don’t Always Finish First
  • Defense #2: Is That Your Protractor in Your Pocket? Nerds Are the Best Lovers
  • Defense #3: Intelligence—A Crucial Piece of the Pi
  • Defense #4: Nerds Know Who They Are and How to Rock It

“Because really, how many of us are inherently the jock or the prom queen at the end of the day? Isn’t there a little nerdiness in all of us?”   Source: http://www.divinecaroline.com/

Nickelback: If Today Was Your Last Day

July 2nd, 2009 by Jeremy at 10:16 am

I just heard this Nickelback song which made me think what if today was my last day.  I started putting together a list and I’m sure I’m missing things but here is what first came to mind:

  • Pray like I’ve never prayed
  • Watch the sunrise
  • Hello Captain Obvious – not go to work (I’d at least call in)
  • Lay in the sun
  • Eat a lot of ice cream
  • Go to Chuck E. Cheese and play a few games with my best friend
  • Drink all the Pepsi I wanted
  • Let everyone in my life know how much they meant to me
  • Do a blog post
  • Buy a Porsche, crank up some Def Leppard, and drive it like I stole it
  • Watch the sunset

What would you do if today was your last day?  We can’t all do what we would do on our last day every day but as long as what you are doing makes you happy and doesn’t hurt someone else I think it is worth doing.

“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” – Braveheart

The Ledge: Sears Tower Opens Glass Observation Deck

July 2nd, 2009 by Jeremy at 8:17 am

If you are afraid of heights this wouldn’t be for you.  At 1353 feet the new glass floor at the Sears Tower is a quarter of a mile above the Chicago streets.  That is awesome…

The New Corvette & The State Trooper

July 2nd, 2009 by Jeremy at 8:00 am

361px-Police_man_ganson.svg

A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. ‘Amazing,’ he thought as he flew down I-95, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, ‘What am I doing? I’m too old for this,’ and pulled over to await the trooper’s arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go.”

The old gentleman paused. Then said, “Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back.”  “Have a good day, Sir,” replied the trooper.

Jeremy’s Amazon.com Universal Wish List

July 1st, 2009 by Jeremy at 11:51 pm

install-graphic-ff._V253705852_

I just found out Amazon.com added a great new universal wish list bookmarklet.  As you probably know bookmarklets are gaining popularity and I think it was brilliant for Amazon.com to create one which lets you add something you want to purchase from anywhere on the web (not just Amazon.com).  Let’s say you are surfing a non Amazon.com site and you see something you want to purchase in the future.  Normally you may write that item down or perhaps even save it to a Google Docs spreadsheet.  With Amazon’s new feature you can add that item to your universal wish list with one click of a button.  You can add it to your browser with full instructions provided here.  You can also view my wish list any time via the left hand navigation of my website or by clicking the image below.  I go to the bookstores to browse books and then send myself emails with the title of the book because I can usually get it much cheaper online.  I’m pretty much an open book (no pun intended) so I made my wish list public.  Pretty spiffy huh?

I Went Bowling on Sunday

July 1st, 2009 by Jeremy at 11:14 pm

bowling

It was really hot outside on Sunday so I went bowling with my best buddy who’s name I’ve blurred out to protect them from the embarrasment of getting trounced so badly!  OK truth be told I won the first game by one pin, the second game I lost by one pin, and then in the third game I was on fire.  OK a 138 probably isn’t “on fire” but I was proud of it.  It was a really fun day…
