AVOID M & H Fences, Dallas, TX

Josh — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:55:56 +0000

M & H Fences replaced the fence around my next door neighbor’s backyard. Below are some photos of the finished job. Yes, this is finished. I’ve highlighted the property line in these photos with a red line. Notice the dirt, concrete, and debris on my property. I called Mark at M & H Fences and asked him to have his crew clean the mess that was located on my property. Mark told me it was his customer’s job to clean up that mess. I will be spreading the word about this example of the work by M & H Fence company.

…And I’m Off the Organic Veggie Bandwagon

Josh — Tue, 20 May 2008 07:02:31 +0000

I’m done. The organic scene is not for me. I’ve gone about 30 years eating non-organic foods and I haven’t had a single problem. Recently, I saw that organic lettuce was only 20 cents more than regular so I decided to be socially responsible and purchase my lettuce from a lettuce farm that treats lettuce with dignity without those nasty pesticides. I’m such a great person. Well- that little guy above almost made it into my turkey wrap today.

I never realized how much I missed that yummy pesticide flavor.

Josh’s World is Growing

Wow, I had no idea how popular my website was getting. Did you know over the last 45 days, over 1500 comments were posted to this site? Can you believe that!? And did you know that 100% of those comments were spam? That’s ridiculous! It amazes me how far these idiots will go to get email into my inbox. I wonder if spammers get mad when they receive spam.

Don’t Make Me Angry

Josh — Thu, 16 Mar 2006 06:22:14 +0000

Something I want to get off my chest: There are two expressions that annoy me like nothing else; two expressions that you will never hear me say (unless I am making fun of somebody that uses them). These phrases are typically used when expressing an opinion about something. Don’t get me wrong, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but when people express themselves with the following phrases, I think it makes them look dumb. So without further ado, the expressions: The first expression is “genius.” For example, “He’s genius” or “That movie is genius.” That bothers me so much. If you disagree with a person that thinks something is genius, then you must not be on the same level as them, intellectually. It seems so condescending. It’s a way to build yourself up for complimenting something (as if you are the authority on what is genius). The fools on every VH1 show say this a lot. The other expression is on the opposite side of the spectrum (sort of). And that is when people say a person, a group of people, or a skill is “talentless.” Again, the user of this expression elevates him/herself to the level or talent extraordinaire. Now I know what you are thinking, “Josh, aren’t you being judgemental and just as ignorant as the users of expressions like ‘genius’ and ‘talentless’?” And the short answer to that is, yes. But here’s the bottom line: express yourself freely and choose your words carefully or I will make fun of you later.

Damage Report

Josh — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 06:11:23 +0000

What happens in Vegas… hopefully won’t be reported to my insurance company. My bachelor party was last weekend. I was looking forward to renting some sports cars with my brother and my cousin. Jeph got a Viper SRT10, JR got a Lotus Elise, and I had a Porsche 911 Carrera. It was a lot of fun until I brought the car back to the rental place and they started writing up a damage report. Apparently, the valet at the Mirage let Rookie McGee drive the Porsche. It had been backed into another vehicle. Good times.

Why I Hate VH1: Part II

Josh — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 06:00:55 +0000

Sorry no update for November, I guess I just needed a month to celebrate George Bush’s re-election. That W sticker on the back of my car really paid off. Anyway- this isn’t a political forum so I will change the topic. I am thinking about changing the name of this blog to something else. I should have done this a long time ago when VH1 started advertising “check out our blog bla bla bla.” If you are new to Josh’s World, I loathe VH1. The time I spend watching TV is always decreasing, but when I do happen to turn it on and I scroll down the menu of channels, I alway dry heave when I see the name of the show that is on. [sarcasm] Oooh, they said something is “Awesomely” something, that is so funny, that’s not even a real word. [/sarcasm] I need to free myself from this hatred!

Why I Hate VH1: Part I

Josh — Sun, 16 May 2004 05:57:37 +0000

For the most part, I like to keep things pretty upbeat and positive here in Josh’s World. But ya know, as I look at my last few entries, I might come off a little cynical. The truth is, I am content 90% of the time. Sometimes things just get to me. Take VH1 for example. I’m watching a show called “50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever” and everything about the show gets on my nerves. Here’s the run down if you haven’t seen it, basically a bunch of small-time comedians and writers rag on videos for whatever reason VH1 considers bad. Many of the songs are great, it just might happen to be a one hit wonder or something. I’m pro-one-hit-wonder. It’s a very efficent way to enjoy more artists. Seriously VH1, how many unfunny one hit wonder jokes can you come up with. “Right Said Fred wasn’t sexy enough for another hit…” or “Gerardo wasn’t suave for another hit…” or “Billy Ray Cyrus won’t have another achy breaky hit.” Half of the shows on VH1 are like this. Anyway- this post has gone on for too long. The point is, VH1 has joined the ranks of it’s asinine brother MTV.

Worst Super Bowl Ever

Josh — Tue, 03 Feb 2004 05:55:28 +0000

Worst Super Bowl ever (Simpson’s comic book shop guy voice). Anybody that knows me understands that I couldn’t care less about football, or any sport for that matter. Being an American though, it’s my duty to tune in… at least to enjoy the commercials. Well my friends, even the commercials were dumb- nothing creative or innovative. The only ad I liked was the anti-smoking commercial about the shards of glass ice pops. I got a kick out that… but all those other “truth” commercials are dumb. And don’t get me started on the half-time show. I don’t know about you guys, buy I can’t wait to get a copy of Rhythm Nation 1814. And I can tell this P Diddy guy is going to be big some day. Tonights Super Bowl half time show was brought to you by AOL and 1993.

I watched “Rich Girls” on MTV tonight. Horrible, horrible, horrible. I hope the rest of the world is vomiting with me. After looking around on Google to see if anybody else shares my disgust, it turns out I am not alone. In fact, many of the show haters seem to use the term “barf” a lot. I don’t want to dwell on this.

I Got A Speeding Ticket

Josh — Sat, 03 May 2003 05:41:23 +0000

I got a speeding ticket this week. On top of that, I didn’t have a valid insurance card. I only got a ticket for the speeding. Luckily, Officer Rookie didn’t notice the expired inspection sticker. Now I have to take a defensive driving course. I am going to try to make the experience as fun as possible. At the end of the class, I am going to pass out surveys and have everybody vote for class clown, best dressed, most likely to succeed, and the coveted Mr. and Ms. Defensive Driver… or maybe I’ll just do the Defensive Driving Video rental. I’ll cook dinner for Keely and make a date of it. Of course I won’t tell her it’s a defensive driving video.
