Blake's Fears
Here are my three biggest fears, ranked in order:
Falling into a volcano
Getting stung to death by bees (like Macaulay Culkin did in My Girl)
Not falling in love
I think my biggest fear would be visiting a volcano and stumbling upon a beehive and then running away from the bees and falling into the volcano. I can only hope that never happens.

Ders, I know how you feel about people downloading music illegally, but can I please burn this from you?

Run Over
Just got 2 hang ups, a non-committed maybe, and an old lady called me words I don’t want to reprint. I’m in my own head, and can’t get the words out to close the deal. It’s a thinking man’s game.
Guess it’s back to bottom of the sales rankings for me.
Sales Beast Mode
Don’t know what was in my cereal this morning, but this guy just made 2 sales in the last hour. Ders says he’s never seen anything like it, but I know he’s just being nice.
Alice must’ve heard some of the buzz, since she came by and told me I saved my job. I know it’s her management style to be dismissive, but it still felt good.
Gonna try for the hat trick, but...

Burning Man
I want to go to Burning Man soooo badly. Karl goes every year and just raves about how awesome it is. I really think that this could be a life - changing experience for me. This festival has pretty much everything I love, such as:
Dancing
Floats
You don’t need money (Burning Man’s economy is a barter system)
Babes
Camping
Art installations
“Newcomers are invited to ring...

Ders said no, and then the other shoe is I scratched the OC DVD leaving it in my pillowcase overnight, so my day is RUINED, right?
WRONG! I’m gonna do as they say and make 50 proof lemonade outta this lemon situation, lie in the pool, get some sun, and take some much-deserved ME TIME.
I’m gonna catch some rays, but I’ll catch YOU later.
Hey, Adam, the DVD you have (and have...

The Ders Report: Adam = Banned →
andersholmvik:
Adam,
Blake and I had a meeting and we’ve decided that because of your irresponsible actions you are hereby BANNED from all current and future family TV watching endeavors. As further punishment, Blake and I are going to finish watching The OC season 1 together (without you, obviously).
Good…
I just want to add that, Adam, I am completely disgusted with you, and if Ders...

Camp DeMamp: O.C.onfession →
adamdemamp:
Blake, the first part of this confession goes to you.
When you woke me up this morning, and my laptop had “The OC” DVD menu playing? It wasn’t because I re-watched the 2 episodes we agreed to watch together.
It’s because I watched as many episodes as I could, on my own, before I passed out. I…
YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!

O.C Dreams
Watched two episodes of The OC last night and I am officially hooked. This show is absolutely amazing and it has inspired me to move to the OC. Judging by what I’ve seen, it is a land of intrigue, compassion and forbidden love.
I imagine that after spending some time down there a nice family would take me in and care for me and treat me like I was their son. Also, chances are that I...

A Message from Homegirl
Homegirl, who works in the cubicle next to us, sent me this today. I don’t know if it was meant as a mass-email and she only typed my name, or she wanted me to post it, but anyway, here-goes——>

And the *OFFICIAL* Nominees Are...
Good lunch, dudes. Think we really hashed out some good TV thoughts, and I know things got testy at times. That time out we took before the food came was well needed, both because our blood sugar was running low and we were starting to take things into the personal attack arena. Let me apologize for anything I said about either of your tastes in movies, music, or women.
From my minutes on...

Family TV Night - My Nomination
I wish to nominate GOSSIP GIRL, Season One, for our family TV night.
I’ll keep my reasons simple, unlike the complex mythology of the show itself…
A fun popcorn show about life in NYC, looking good, feeling good, and of course, DRESSING GOOD. Our fashion game has been weak, but I think a healthy dose of their wardrobe choices could be the prescription we need.
TEMPERATURE- Look...

Titans of Friendship Family TV Night
I agree with Ders, there’s so many shows out there we all want to see, we should focus on one show and watch it together as a family.
We could do it like a book club where we rotate picking shows, which is better than us trying to watch stuff on our own, being out of sync, and accidentally giving away Tony Soprano getting shot (not a spoiler, happened a bunch) or Ross getting with Rachel...
Earthquake?

adamdemamp:
Everyone’s chatting it up about some earthquake just now, but I didn’t feel NOTHING. More like the earth FELT ME. PA-POW.
The earthquake was in DC, Adam. As in, the other side of the U.S.A.— and last time I checked, I found you sleeping at the foot of my bed when we felt that aftershock in Rancho Cuc country, so don’t go puffing your chest out too far.
To be...
