That’s what she said.

I think those that know me, know that I am a pretty big sports fan.  I would say I am a fan of about every sport that’s out there from baseball to skateboarding, to curling, I’ve find it all pretty interesting.  I played sports as a kid(i was a beast at baseball. STINKY POWER!) and I even played a little soccer in high school.  One thing I’ve really gotten into as of late is betting on sports with my buddies at work.

Some how or another I have turned into the point man for all things sports betting related.  I have ran or am currently running the following bets:

1. College Football Bowl Pickum
2. Fantasy Football
3. Fantasy Nascar
4. NLF Pickem
5. Fantasy Fishing
6. My own version of  Streak for the Cash

The guys at work we use this to kinda give us something to talk about that isn’t sports related and by doing this I have turned a few of the guys at work into bigger sports fans.  Everything we do cost money, it’s usually $10 bucks to get into the pot and sometimes it’s a long term or short term pot.  When you spend so much time at work it’s nice to have something no work related to talk about with your coworkers.  We also get together about once a month for some extremely low stakes no limit hold em.

Annette seems to think I have a minor gambleing problem.  I just wanted the jasefisher.com readers opinions.

There are some great inventions in this world, for example The alphabet, mathmatics, automobile, personal computer, ect… But few match up to the awsomeness known as a Digital Video Recorder(DVR).  This simple yet extremely helpful device has made TV watching a pass time even a person as busy as I am something I can do.  Like most people I have a pretty large list of shows I watch regularly.  But before I watch a show I have a few rules that I have to follow

1. I must be able to watch ever epsisode.  I will never start a new show unelss I can start with episode #1.  Right now I am back watching every epsisdoe of The Office.  I am almost through season 4 which will get me current.
2. If for some reason I miss an episode I get super salty and I’ll usally just stop watching the show.  Ask annette when 24 season 1 started she mistaped an episode and cut off 15 minutes.  It was the third episode and I was done until it came out on DVD and was able to watch every episode
3. If I pick a new show it must be something new.  I don’t watch crime dramas or rehased comedy crap.  It has to be a genuinely fresh new idea.  Examples of shows like this: Heros, Jericho, 24.
4. It has to be in HD.  I don’t watch anything that isn’t in HD.   I know that it’s a smug thing to say but my eyes will fall out if I watch non HD shows.
5. I have to truely belive that it will last more that one season.  I have picked up new shows that end after one season and it not only disapoints me but I just want to drive to the studio and… well I don’t want to incriminate myself: Example of this is Jericho the greatest TV show no one ever watched.
6. If I decide to start a new show I give it one season and make my decision to continue or not.  Currently I have dropped LIfe on mars off my show list.  I watched the first season and just didn’t get hooked.
7. I also refuse to start watching new reality TV shows.  I just can’t do it anymore

My current list of shows are as followed:

1. 24
2. Heros
3. The Big Bang Theory
4. How I meet your mother
5. American Chopper
6. The Amazing Race
7. Survivor
8. Family Guy
9. The office
10. The unit
11. My Name is Earl
12. Lost
13.  Grey’s Anatomy

Hmmm.. 13 is an unlucky number to have anything of in life.   So here is where I request your help.  Give me another show to watch.  I have netflix where I can rent shows off of their and stream it on my xbox360 through netflix.  Leave me a comment about what you think I should watch and Ill pick one and start watching it.  Or you can suggest a show I drop off my list.  Either way we go I’m getting off 13 asap

When you see that picture there it’s almost high level comedy.  I myself until today would have LOL’d(and for the record i hate LOL but that’s for another day), but after today this Valentine’s Day I have completely changed my outlook on this sign.

It all started when I called my friends Jerry and Lisa and asked them what they were doing for Valentine’s day this year.  Having already had plans to go to belterra to celebrate this day a little early Annette and I were looking for some fun times, and where Jerry and Lisa go fun times seem to follow.   They were perchance planning and evening with reservations to White Castle and a movie to follow, check the link it has slider on slider action.  We asked if we could join and a White Castle Valentines was set.

I must say to have sit down service at Whiteys with a real waitress was quite an experience.  They had bowls of filled with big red and a floating candle, a special Love menu, free carnations for the ladies(which was more flower than i got annette), and desert cupcake and ice cream.  Overall Whiteys was a classy place that night.  We sat beside a really strange couple and one of their mothers.  I personally thought they were brother and sister until they interjected into our conversation about vegas and slot machines.  They went to vegas for their honeymoon and stayed at Circus Circus and they both won 120 dollars playin penny slots, and then immediately spent it eating at the Stratosphere.  More than I needed to know about them but hey, I love meeting new people.

We then proceded to rock some starbucks where we all had a warm beverage and we shared stories about glow in the dark animals and Disney world.  I think at some point we might have planned an potential vacation to DC in July.  IDK

Lastly you can’t have a Valentines day with out watching a movie.  We tried something new, the Lux Level at the Cinema De Lux.  It’s almost like a first class on a plane if I were to compare it to anything.  Super sweet leather rocking chairs, direct to your seat food service, adults only, 1 free beer, and it only cost $10 more to sit up there.  Well worth the price of admission when you don’t have to worry about all the things that make watching movies at the cinema unbearable.

The movie we saw was confessions of a shopaholic.  It’s has your typical Rom Com plot line to it with a shopping type twist.  Nothing spectacular, but to reference a recent post it does have Isla Fisher in it and I would say she was hot in the movie.  I would rate it a Renter only.  Good to watch one time but you probably already know how the movie will end before you watch it.

Overall I rate this Valentines an A+.  Thanks Jerry and Lisa for inviting us to come along with them, and one last thing when jerry tells you the dress code for the evening is normal that means he is wearing a Suit jacket so when you show up wearing a long sleeve fila shirt you look like an under dressed douche. Thanks buddy.

Annette and I Decided to celebrate our Valentines a few days early.  We made reservations at Belterra Resort and Casino.  They had a sweet deal where you reserve a room and get $100 resort credit.  With the credit I made reservations at Jeff Ruby’s Steak house.  This place holds a little nostalgia for us, we ate their for our first anniversary.  If you’ve never ate a Jeff Ruby’s Steak house you haven’t experienced life.  It’s a tad bit expensive, even with the credit it cost us $70.  The meal was fantastic, but the real kicker was our room.  We booked a King room but I hit the lottery.  They had a overbooking problem and we got an upgrade to a SUITE.  It had a Super King bed and sectional couch and a SPA bathtub with a walking shower.  Pretty damn amazing and it cost nothing more.  Here’s a few pics of what Annette and I called the super sweet suite.                    They only thing that was ghetto busted was the 27″ tv they bought when Belterra opened.  Wish I would have took a picture but they were so old it would have set my phone back 12 years and it would have turned into Stan’s old phone.

We rocked the casino the first night and I hit up a new game called Ultimate Texas Hold Em.  Its a table game where you play against the dealer.  I lost my ass completely so for the record I say f’that game.  I left Annette along and she went and got rocked by what I call the Wheel of Misfortune.  It’s a large extravagant slot machine designed to suck the life and fortunes of families.  The problem with Annette and she wont admit it is that she doesn’t know when to get up and quit playing.  She gets up quite a bit and blows it all back into the casino.  Nice investment Cha-Chi.

We go to bed down 100 bucks.  I get up in the morning and decide I have to be the family’s fortune savior.  I dash down to the blackjack table and grab $50 bucks of chips.  I start out good but like all luck I turded out a little . I hopped up with $40 chips left with the intentions to cash out and go home but I saw a glimmer in my eye at the roulette table.  I set down get $40 chips and started playing my numbers 33, 23, 18, 20, and 8.  They all have meaning and I’ll give out prizes to anyone who know their meaning, except Annette she knows all the answers.

Long story short 18 hits once and 33 hits 5 times and i love with $180.  Family fortune saved!  Were back home and we can still pay rent.  GO JA$E

It’s been a long time coming but I’ve finally decided to give blogging a true go around.  I think we all need a place where we can share with other people what keeps us going.  Your going to find a wide variety of topics covered on here.  They will range from my life in general, work, sports, rants, raves, video games, things that make me smile, things that make me want to scream, and everything in between.  You can tell by the title of my blog no topic is off limits.  I hope to update this frequently.  I have an app on my iPhone that will help me keep things going on the run amd I’ll take the time during the day to update things at home.

Check the about me section to learn a little about what I am about and who I am.  And like I said earlier check back frequently for a good laugh I hope.  Thanks goes out to Dhigh for helping me get this set up, I owe you a few drinks.
