"If we didn't get the chicken wings so what; we've still got that Meat Lover's pizza in the trunk."

Toastie: "So I says to the guy, wrecked 'em, damn near killed 'em."

Oh, hello. Didn't see you come in. So what's up there my Toastedblog fans? Here, not much. Except my BROTHER is in town!! Yee-haw!! Its not half bad too. He has the week off from work and decided to drive out here from the Michigan for a visit. Cory rolled into town at about 9 pm last night, just as I was coming back from beers over at good buddy Charlie's place. Needless to say its great to see him here. We sat around chatting for a bit and laughing at these old pictures of my father from our childhood. But we needed more, and a trip to see the wonderful Rachel at the Blarney Stone was in order. Few things are as enjoyable as having a couple beers with your younger brother.

Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug!
This morning brought us a trip to Armory Square and a run in with the store Soundgarden. Not much was picked up by the Toast as I was kinda just along for the ride. See my brother is a huge Dave Matthews fan and their new album just dropped. What, you don't think the Toast knows how it is on the streets?? Anyway, I did decide to pick up the new Ben Folds album. At first listen, all things seem to be in order, although its a little mellow. But I suppose the majority of his music is that way so what the hell am I talking about? For the rest of the week though, not quite sure what the plans will be. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

For example, today is Wreckin' Ball's birthday. She's having a gathering at Coleman's for a bit this evening and the Toast intends to be there for moral support. Oooh, and maybe a corned beef sandwich!!

Finally, this past sunday was Mother's Day. For those of you who don't know my mother and I have an interesting relationship. I just wanted to take a moment and say a quick Happy Mother's Day and despite all of the quarrels and fights over the years, I love you Mom, and always will.

"You as Cold as Ice"

Lately I have been getting accustomed to the whole downloading procedure with the Toast's new computer and have spent some time acquiring as many episode's of Chappelle Show as possible. Today's Toastedblog title obviously is in reference to this but also has another meaning. Tomorrow, I am meeting a few of my ex coworkers for Happy Hour at Colemans. One of the many topics that is sure to come up, the way in which I was let go recently. Ooh, they as cold as ice!!

I'm one of the baddest mutha (beep) of all time
In any event I am to meet up with some of the many ladies that I used to work with. No Toasted fans, it won't be in "that" way. These ladies all are pretty much engaged or married, some even with children. It isn't to be a Friday night sexcapade. Should be interesting though. I got to be pretty close with one coworker in paticular, Michele. In an office pretty much full of ladies she was one of the only sources of "normal" conversation. As opposed to banter on reality TV or bridal registry. She is a fellow Sox fan and does enjoy College Football (Her and her husband Ken went to Ohio State). With that being said I suppose I can't hold the liking of Ben Affleck against her.

Otherwise it is pretty much a typical weekend to look forward to for the Toast. I have to drive to Kingston, Ontario for a rugby match on Saturday. Its our first match in a few weeks but I'm all set. I just need to remember to bring my passport and birth certificate. My international trip has taught me that. Do I need to bring up the Montreal Expos trip?

Customs Lady: "Casey. Mark. Next time remember your proper identification."

Willie Moe and Danny: "Who are Casey and Mark?"

The other big news going on here is that my brother is returning to Syracuse for about a week. He'll be here without his girlfriend Josalyn as well. Don't get me wrong, I like Josalyn. She's great people!! But we all know how different dudes can act when they are around their ladyfriends, as opposed to just hanging out with the boys. Needless to say that I am looking forward to it.

O.K., I'm out. YAY Cinco De Mayo!!
