Post Thanksgiving Haze
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 26-11-2010
I am in a post Thanksgiving haze right now. I ate way too much shit yesterday and didn’t even drink that much. Don’t worry, I’ll make up for that tonight. So I was a big blob of lazy, turkey smelling crap last night on the couch. Therefore today’s post will be a shorty. I just have a few random thoughts as I am making the foolish brave decision to hit the mall today. Yes, on Black Friday. Normally you wouldn’t get me near a mall today if they were giving out free lap dances and bacon wrapped cheese curds. But the Lady Friend needs to pick up a few things and I agreed to make the trip with her. At least she is buying me lunch.
We have an annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K in Minneapolis every year on Thanksgiving morning… huh, that’s ironic. NOW that name finally makes sense to me. Anyway I haven’t ran it before but have a handful of friends that always do. The temperature outside at the start of the run yesterday morning? 8 degrees. That’s Fahrenheit not Celsius for my non American friends. How in the holy ham and cheese hell do you run 5K in 8 degree weather? Man this city sucks. We got some more snow this week and with these temps it looks like it’s here to stay for the next 5 months. Sigh.
I have that game/app Angry Birds on my phone.. has anyone played it? If not, don’t. It’s addicting as shit and it seems to go on forever. But if you are a masochist with plenty of time on your hands then by all means download it… it is free. Anyway, the Lady Friend is hooked on it too, like it’s some kind of shopping/ice cream/crack combo to her. She was playing last night and I asked her if it was disrespectful to be playing Angry Birds while eating turkey. She gave me a look as if I has just farted or something and turned right back to the game without a word. I didn’t really understand the look.. I am pretty sure I HADN’T just farted, but who knows.. I don’t keep track of those things.
Things were pretty uneventful with the big Thanksgiving family gathering yesterday. Turkey, stuffing, pie and beer. All in all not a bad way to spend a Thursday. The Lady Friend took a bunch of money off my aunts and cousins in some weird card games the females were playing while the guys sat in the basement and watched football, talking about cars, lap dances and bacon wrapped cheese curds.
If all goes well and I survive the blasted mall, I may have something to report over the weekend. But most likely I’ll just have another Half Assed Weekend Post. When you consider the fact that my weekday posts are pretty half assed too, that doesn’t say much for me now does it? Don’t answer that.

So why the hell are you not following me on Twitter? @SimpleDude17 It’s sort of like getting laid, without the shame, regret or mess.
Simple Dude…While I don't have a phone with apps in it, I get addicted to my pc games. What is it about beating a computer? You are brave to hit the mall today. I'm a pc at home shopper!
Looking forward to your next blog. I am a new follower. Have fun and be very safe in that mall. There's been trampleing before!

In Canada, we have the polar bear swim on New Year's Day. People (who are most likely hungover or still drunk from the night before) dress up and then go jump in the ocean in front of local news crews. Have a good weekend. Off to follow you on Twitter. – G

I was downloading apps for my phone, and Angry Birds was the first one that popped up in games. I got Tetris. Now I need to go download it and waste my day!

Cute post and you are such a brave man to brave the horrible Black Friday shoppers…I refuse to absolutely refuse to lose sleep to spend money …that's just absurd! Anyway stay safe and warm!

I run a little boutique, so I am here today. As evidenced by the fact that I am online reading your post you can guess how black our day is looking. Sigh.
I want to go home.

Best of luck & hope you make it back in one piece. I had something clever to say but I kinda trailed when you mentioned lap dances and bacon wrapped cheese curds…
What was I saying again?

I hope you come back alive. Don't get trampled!

Unfortunately, I do not own an iTouch/iPad/iPhone.
Fortunately, my mother does.
Unfortunately…she found the game angry birds awhile ago.
And we both got addicted. Crazy addicted.
I believe we beat the game, so it's not as bad anymore, but sometimes I wonder if she's just holding out on me, secretly playing it at night, in bed, when she's in the bathroom, or just when she says she's "cold" and wraps up in a blanket, hiding it underneath.
Oh well. It's probably more healthy for me this way, anyway.

I am jealous of your thanksgiving day. I didn't eat shit (I made spaghetti for dinner) and there was no talk of lap dances or bacon wrapped cheese in my house. Maybe I need a new family.

8 degrees C is cold enough thank you. Cant imagine it in F. Pocket frogs is my latest addiction on my iPod touch. You get these cute frogs and you breed them and race them and…ok wastes heaps of time but they are preeetttty. lol
Tried the birds, totally sucked at it and moved on.

Good to know the type that frequents the Mall on the worst day of the year. I usually thought it was dumbasses I couldn't stand to be around for a half a second, but I think I could hang with you.
That was sort of a compliment, I think.

Anyone that is stupid enough to run in eight degree temperatures does not deserve lap dances or bacon wrapped cheese curds.
Boyfriends who venture into that hell otherwise known as Black Friday shopping deserve to be treated to both lunch and a very special lap dance by the lady friend. Enjoy!!
