I bought Metallica tickets. Metallica is coming May 11th to Kemper Arena to celebrate my birthday. James, Lars and he boys decided they needed to play a big show for theJEDMAN on his birthday. It is not so much the band that is intriguing for me. It is the fact that it will be a kick A time. So, we are having a win a date with theJEDMAN contest. Send me an email essay stating why you deserve to hang with theJEDMAN on his birthday at the big Metallica show. Anyone can enter, but if you are female and I think you're cute then you have a better chance of winning. theJEDMAN

It has been a week, but I was in Nebraska last weekend. I went to a collegiate sporting event. You won't believe what was across the parking lot from the hotel, Hooter's. I braved the sub-zero temperatures and stopped in for a beer. It was not the prototypical Hooter's Restaurant that I am accustomed to. It was a little lacking, but I had a good time. The day of the game it was below zero. Not a good temperature for sight seeing. The team I went to see played terrible and was crushed. All of their fans were devastated. I had a bad burrito downtown during the trip. I can't go back to Nebraska. I ran on the $40 mini-bar charge. They are probably looking for me. theJEDMAN

I spent all day watching this show on the chick channel. It is about a bunch of hot women in their 30s in L.A. The show them going on dates and whinning when the dudes turn out to be losers. It is awesome. I like the one chick that yells at these dudes on the phone before she ever meets them. Then, she'll discount them in some way after the first five minutes usually and whine about it. You can tell I was bored. I didn't have anything to do, so I watched this show for five straight hours. I was such the lazy JEDMAN. theJEDMAN

I got jacked on the Internet. I did one those dating sites a long time ago. My profile is still on there. I never got any dates from it so, I never look at it anymore. Every once in a while someone will email me. Usually, it is some woman in their 30s with teenage children and no job that responds to me. I attract women that have a lot of stuff going on that I don't really want to deal with. This time a woman emailed me that seemed reasonable. Being on there is free. You have to pay for the service to respond to people. So, I got on an paid the $20 to respond to her. Then, after one email. She dumps me. She said that I wasn't settled. This is true. I got duped anyhow. theJEDMAN

I went to Hooter's again. theGARDENMAN went. It was awesome. Hooter's is a family place. I go for the wings. The bartender Hooter girl ask me what I was doing tonight. Instead of saying, "Waiting for you to get off work." I said, "Duhhhhhhhhhhhh." I'm so smooth with the ladies. She did call me "SWEETIE" later on. I spent a little too much time there this time. It took away from my mystique. I'll have to wait a couple of months to go again. theJEDMAN

It snowed a lot. I didn't have to go to work. I went out in neighborhood, "Walking in the winter wonder land," saying, "In the meadow you can build a snowman." The mailman honked at me like he was mad that some idiot is out walking around in the snow on the street getting in his way. theJEDMAN

I got jacked at the corporate coffee house. It was devastatingly cold out. I went in to warm up and to read a magazine. I got my regular corporate non-designer coffee. I beat the system by not falling into the trap of buying the high end drinks. I went to the corner chair in front of the sofa to sit by myself. I wasn't there five minutes when these three adults and four kids invaded my space. They sat right next to me. Practically, they moved in right on top of me. This kid kept running into my leg. His dad kept telling him not to, but he did it anyway. The other kids were crawling all over the place. I would have tried to leave, but I would have smashed a little kid trying to step over them. I was furious. Eventually they left. The corporate coffee house is for adults to sit and talk quietly or read in a quiet environment. It is not for little kids. I couldn't believe that those people were so bold to do that, even when it was obvious that the kids were physically invading my space by bumping into me. The thing that is funny is that there were plenty of other seats to sit in. There should be a rule of space distribution in seating in public spaces. theJEDMAN

Super Sunday! I watched the game by myself. I used to get to watch it with Manino, but that dude blew me off this year. The one party that I did get invited to was too far away with the icy weather that we had. I got myself uninvited from that party anyway thinking that I would get lots of invites and be able to choose. I'm not as popular as I think I am. I had a good time.
I ate a can of chili beans, one roma tomato, three flour tortillas, onion, cheese, salsa, fritos, 3 cokes, 1 beer and an ice cream sandwich. Some of that stuff I turned into a burrito. Beans are good. Everyone should eat beans. The three cokes, the beer and the fritos made me feel like hell. Not the beans. Beans are good. Eat beans or die. I ate like a king tonight. theJEDMAN
