The obligatory POOP post :: Mike Neir's Page

I just got done reading the latest posts over at dooce.com, as is my almost-daily ritual. Today's post, along with a good portion of her other posts, talks a lot about poop in various forms in the way that only Heather B. Armstrong can muster. While I don't really share her would-be obsession with poop discussions, poop is on the platter for this post, figuratively speaking. Our still-unnamed dog is making huge strides... huge strides in soiling our carpet. Yesterday was his "pee on the floor" coming out party, where he made puddles no less than 5 times. Well, in the spirit of progress, today became crap on the carpet day. The first deposit was made after I went to work but while Greg was still home, under my desk apparently. I can't say I was too happy about that, but Greg cleaned things up well enough that I didn't notice. The second was after I got home and took the dog for a walk. I learned my lesson from the morning before and waited until I was ready to take him out before I let him out of the cage. It was raining outside, so I wasn't about to wait outside all day for him to do his business. He was a good dog though and added to the rather wet conditions outside with his own unique contribution. We both went back inside, and not 3 minutes after I let him off his leash he had laid cable underneath the kitchen table, as if to say "Ha! You thought I was done! I'll show you!" I suppose I'll have to get used to it.

And in something totally unrelated to poop, I finally got the third Evergrey album that I ordered almost two months ago: Recreation Day. It was back-ordered at Amazon, which I should learn to expect. This is the sound that I remember from the concert. The other albums are most certainly sweet, but this is the Evergrey I heard on April 24th. There is a ton of double-bass throughout, sweet riffs, killer harmonies, and a ton of energy. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes metal. You can't really miss here. "Blinded" and "Visions" kick total ass, but I'm sure I'll love the whole album once I give it a few more listens.

Mike, I have to disagree with you, I don't really dig dooce's site. I mean, I respect all those that follow it, but I'm not in to it. I don't want to read the diary of someone's wife.

But then again, I still smoke cigarettes even though sometimes I'm short of breath throughout the day. So which one of us is smarter?

That's fine... I just find the site very interesting, and her writing style is hilarious. You don't have to like it, and as far as I know, nobody said you did...

The name "Gorilla Dick" is quite serving for someone who refers to Dooce as "someone's wife" and not a person or a woman in her own right. Seriously, you MUST be single and obviously have issues with women. I pity you.

Nice dog, has he started chewing on the couch yet?

Yes, that wasn't the most respectful term. In fact, it was quite insulting.

Being single is the best way to be, girl! And women are only half of the worlds population, so who cares if I have issues with them!! And you are only 1 of many billions, so who cares if you pity me!!!
