Sorry had to take a nap

Soooooo its been slow here on the ole dirt farm and your favorite dirt farmer has been up to his ears in work. Just a few observations from around the farm

• The dirt farm recently acquired two puppies and for the love of God they are a handful. One minute they are cute and quiet then the next they are eating each others scrotums and trying to perfect their aim on household furniture with those little guns they tote around below their bellies. Oh yeah and they wake Ms Dirt Farmer and I up every morning right about 5:00 AM. I am accustomed to such wake up calls but MsDF isn't exactly what I would call a morning person-God bless her though she does it and never complains. Reason number 800,537,918 she is the greatest lass in all the land.

• The dirt farm itself has been doing great. With the season more than half over my team has lost but 1 game. Obviously its because they play on a bad ass field. I would say I am Omaha bound, but my buddy is getting married that weekend so I guess I will go there and drink too much instead.

• Speaking of drinking too much-is there a switch that gets flipped in your late 20's that renders your iron clad stomach and god like tolerance simple memories of less painful times? I tried to tie one on last weekend I really felt like I was being punched repeatedly in the face the next morning when I woke up. I would say that is the last damn time I will ever drink bourbon straight, but that ain't happening.

• Congrats needs to go out to MsDF's sister for landing a killer gig that pays her to a)travel to killer places like St Martin 2)get loads of leftover free stuff from corporate events and 3)drink at work. That is strong...quite strong. My hat is off to you Ms JBell-you are now my hero.

• I was asked the other day if I went to school for my dirt farming to which I responded no. This was of course followed by an "oh, well you do a good job" It wasn't a hey look at that you are so awesome you must be an expert type of question and response. No No it was a hey your field looks good despite you being a dumb ass. I informed the person that I have 2 degrees and I do this because I like it. The lesson? 1) Don't judge a book by its cover. I may look homeless, but I probably have a finer understanding of Russian Literature than you do. 2) I have two liberal arts degrees and look like a homeless guy-that should tell you all you need to know about the value of a liberal arts degree if you don't want to be a teacher. Go to school, get a degree in something relevant, and don't listen to the hippie professor trying to tell you poetry is the only true and meaningful form of expression. He/She is a hippie and probably smells like your grandpa's pants, lives in a hippie commune where they grow cabbage and hold fireside sing-a-longs on the evils of hygiene...this is not the person you should seek life lessons from.

• Currently on the Dirt Farm Drive in Theater: Little Miss Sunshine. Great flick-original and funny. With all the Apatow movies out now I had forgotten you don't have to be completely gross to get a laugh. Alan Arkin is great as the foul mouthed existential heroin snorting grandpa who teaches his grand daughter a dance sequence that would make Elizabeth Berkely blush. This movie is funny, irreverent, ironic, and just nice in general. I give it 3 rakes out of five.

Thats all for now. I will drop some knowledge a little later, but for now I must sleep.
Remember-God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt.
