Sir…You Have an SUV Are You Sure You Can’t Park In The Dirt?
Posted by dyl pickle on Aug 18, 2008
So Saturday was my cousin India’s wedding… it was a lot of fun. The food was great, the speeches hilarious and the drinks adequate. Unfortunately my girlfriend Tess wasn’t able to come but i guess it worked out ok because i agreed to help park people for the wedding to to the limited amount of space available to the guests for parking. We all know people can’t park themselves and that is is completely necessary for someone to tell them what to do…jk it was actually a pretty sticky situation and it probably was best that we had someone to direct everyone. It was just funny because you know how everyone has to look their best for weddings? Well there were a number of people who had nice shinny 4 -wheel vehicles who preferred not to drive on the dirt…to bad for them that was the only parking that existed up there. Other than the parking i had a huge amount of fun. It is always nice to see two people in love. I wish i had some pictures to post but unfortunately i am a guy and guys don’t take pictures.
Italian Affair…
Posted by dyl pickle on Aug 11, 2008
“Good morning” ….”shut up”….”sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays….yeah yeah…thats me. I have a horrible case of the Mondays.” However, in all honesty how could you blame me after i have such a great weekend. Friday night was tons of fun. Tess and I met up with a childhood friend of mine and his wife for dinner at a nice little restaurant in Santa Rosa named Italian Affair. It was super good. I had tortellinis and Tess got a Fetticini dish. It was great to see Daniel and his wife. I have known Daniel since he was 6 and i was 4 so needless to say ti has been a while. He just got married about 2 months ago and this was the first time I have seen him since his honey moon. It was also the first time they had gotten to meet Tess. After dinner we made our way over to Rita’s for some Karaoke where Tess sang a few songs for us with her beautiful voice and then we parted ways and made our way to bed. The dinner was nice and it is always great to see Dan and Trina and it was also very reassuring to know that the guy I have know all my life totally approves of the girl a care so much for. I dont need approval from my friends to be happy, but it just makes things so much easier when they see the same great qualities in the person you care about as you do. Can’t wait too see them again.
Stocks and stocks of crap!
Posted by dyl pickle on Aug 5, 2008
Well I have been a little frustrated lately with my stock portfolio. I have pretty good stocks but the way the market has been lately has made me second guess myself too often. I will end up selling a stock because it continue to go down and as soon as I do sell it it has a steady rise.I think what I need to do is to just suck it up and look for the long term…I don’t have enough invested to be a day trader so all i am really doing when I buy and sell short term is lose money on my commission payments. I guess the way to go is just buy a stock when it is at a reasonable low and not look at it for a few weeks. Looking at it everyday just seems to cause trouble for me.
Because I was so frustrated I was looking around online and I found this really cool series of books on how to make a good amount of money in the stock market, I think everyone should check it out. Click Here! The Author is Mark McRae and he has put in years of research into his books. If you aren’t so sure about stock trading he also offers free classes online. If I were you I would just check it out, it is never a bad idea to start preparing a steady income for the future.
The Canary Yellow One Ya Queer!
Posted by dyl pickle on Aug 5, 2008
lol ok so Im sorry to anyone who finds this offensive…..but oh well my story and you don’t have to read it. So the other day…actually a few days ago, right after getting back from Oregon Tess and I were gonna take a shower and the towels we had up were old so we were going to replace them. Tess pulled out two towels…one was white and the other was yellow. As we were getting into the shower I asked Tess which towel is mine and she said the canary yellow one ya queer…actually she didn’t say that but that is what i thought she said. In reality she said the canary yellow one ya peer. But i was shocked…i was like did you just call me a queer? She was then like, “nooooooo…lol why would i say that” I swear she said queer…it turns out though that she said peer because i had just taken a piss..but who calls someone a peer…lol that was definitely the last name to come to my mind…the reason i thought she said queer was because we had just come back from Bandon and everyone one up there is so redneck i just figured she had reverted back to how she used to talk 
oh well it was funny in the moment

Soooooooo I had a great Didily darn weekend. Saturday Tess and I went to Napa for her cousin’s birthday. That was a load of fun..i believe tess and I were the only couple who weren’t swing a potato sack (baby). All the babies were cute for the most part except for a few which looked like the big guy from the Goonies…not the fat the kid…the one who lived int he basement with a chain around his ankle….yeah that one ;). The birthday girl however was absolutely gorgeous. She is gonna be a total heart breaker when she gets older…should be fun to watch. There were presents and cake, food and spit up…what more could you ask for. I also got to meet Aiden which is Tess’s nephew…he was adorable…his birthday is on the 17th…i was told that birthday should be more fun and less frumpy because his parents are pretty fun to hang out with.
Saturday night tess and I went over to my parents house and made them dinner…we made them pan seared ahi tuna with a sesame, honey and soy crust over Basmati rice with salad Caprisi on the side. We also told my parents about our plans to move in together come January…cant wait :). Woohoo. Luckily they were both excited about the idea…but who wouldn’t be..Tess is incredible…and they like her…so anyways…
Sunday was spent nesting…not laying in bed but cleaning…i now know what it is like to be a frantic pmsing female…without the gross part. Tess and I cleaned her whole apartment, the dog, the bird cages, the car, went to the store, and took the dog to the dog park…etc. But the apartment now looks incredible so it was well worth the effort…and in all honesty it wasn’t to difficult. It was an easy day and between cleaning projects we were able to relax, eat and enjoy our lazy Sunday.

I got back from my Oregon trip Tuesday afternoon…”did you have a good time”, you might ask? And in return I must answer, “well yes good sir I did have quite a marvelous time.” No I didn’t wrastle greased pigs or exchange high fives with the duke brothers while hood sliding across rad chargers, but I did get a chance to go to a good Ole county fair, ride Atvs on small little trails, hunt for agates at the beach, smoke cigars in a bar, and sleep in a trailer.
Tess prepared me for the trip up to Oregon on the assumption that I would be overwhelmed with redneck phobia and run screaming to the nearest person I could find with a full set of teeth and ask them for help…however…little did she know I have a little hill billy in me. really little I couldn’t help it I got hungry and he was the nearest edible object… (crickets) anyways I had so much fun I must admit there was a definite difference between Santa Rosa California and Bandon Oregon. It seemed like all the people my age where either married or engaged with children …or expecting ( a lot of women where smoking and preggar too). It was crazy it seemed like that is what most people expect up there. Running into Tess’s old friends they were surprised that Tess was not either married or with a child…
On a different subject Family loves me…i mean honestly who couldn’t love me…jk but it was great to see Tess’s family welcome me with open arms…very sweet happy people and it just helps me realize why Tess turned out so great. She has a great support system and is surrounded by people and family who love her. It just helped me realize how lucky I am. Enough of the sap…that last paragraph was soo full of sap you could have made it into syrup. Ok well all i really wanted to do was emphasize how much fun I had and how much I cant wait to go on another trip with Tess and or to meet the rest of her family. If you ever have a chance to go up along the coast of Oregon go…it is gorgeous and you wont regret it. 
HEADING TO OREGON….
Posted by dyl pickle on Jul 25, 2008
So i am super excited today. My girlfriend Tess and I are heading to Oregon to meet her parents and hang out. We are heading out tonight after work and getting back on Tuesday. Yesterday was my last day at the BOHO so i was able to sleep in a little today and pack before heading into work. Ill prob work until 4 and then head home where i Will meet Tess and we will head out from there.
I did however feel like a total man slut today not on purpose, it just kinda turned out that way. I was out of condoms and I thought it would be a good idea to bring some on the trip…so I was going to go to the store and buy some. Once I was at the store I realized I didnt have any tapes for my camcorder. I wanted the tapes for the camcorder so I could document our lil road trip so I picked up those too. When I got to the register it occurred to me that I must look like some kinky son of a bitch with condoms and video recording tapes. They must think I was some porn video kingpin or really into safe sex home videos…either way i received a funny little look from the girl behind the register, and I couldn’t help but laugh. What a good way to start the day.
Love Is In The Air its about time we had something else up there other than smoke…

Sooooo I had another wedding this past saturday…it was so much fun :). It was my cousin Erics wedding and we was married to a great girl named laura who is also the mother to his child. The day was beautiful, the food was good and the boos flowed like the Mississippi into the gulf of mexico…(in case you didn’t get that there was tons of boos). The wedding started a little bit earlier than most people expected, including myself so iw as a little bit late but i was able to see the vows and ring ceremony…which was nice.
I was able to bring my girlfriend tess so she met the family…and boy did she pull it off…i think they like her more than they like me now :(…they all thought she was attractive, sweet and smart…:) yay. I also got a lot of dancing in. Yeah yeah I have been known to cut the carpet, scoot the boots, and jiggy from time to time. I used to take dance lessons but that would be better talked about another day.
The food was buffet style with tortellinis, chicken asparagas, salad..etc. I wish I had more weddings to go to…only one left this summer…i cant wait
I call…

so I had quite the busy weekend…Friday was fantastic. My gf tess held a fund raiser on friday in order to raise money for her team in training/lymphoma cancer program. She was able to raise about $230 dolllars woohoo and she found out today that she might be receiving the rest of what she needs in order to run in the womens nike half marathon from a friends family…so needless to say she is pretty excited. Her party was fun. Her friend agreed to host the party at her house and there was food, drinks and poker for those who choose to show up and donate to a good cause. The poker was fun…I didnt win but the husband of her friend who hosted did and they were very pleased with the sex card gift ;)…it was a bunch of playing cards with different positions on it…fun fun. the wife seemed very excited.
