This blog is now defunct.

Go to the new one. It's rad.

For real.

Well ok then. :)

I'm proud to be joining the few and the proud. The people who make it their business everyday to know more than everyone else on one subject and one subject alone. The lords of their domain. The role models for countless others.

Yes, that's correct. I am now a black apron wearing, certified Starbucks Coffee Master.

I'm also Nathanael May, and you stay classy, Pleonast.

Sweet. Jessica says she's way jealous...

You rock. Try the Pike Place blend with the pumpkin spice donut. I had it at a coffee tasting this past week and it was absolutely heavenly.

by jenn at 09/02/06 2:47PM
Suhweet!! It will be great once I'm able to finally be certified as a Barista!! UG. It's so crazy at our store with new ppl comin in and what not that there just hasn't been time for me to get certified.

by jesspico at 09/02/06 3:43PM
Sweet!

by jlmanager at 09/02/06 6:38PM
You know...if you were ANY kind of black apron friend you would have gotten Jaime a discount on her cool new 35th Starbuck's anniversary coppery colored mermaid coffee mug that is so incredibly cool I might have to get one myself. (Hint-hint)

by fauxbelle at 09/02/06 6:49PM
Oh...and congratulations on getting certified.

by fauxbelle at 09/02/06 6:49PM

Lately, in my attempts to be the kind of husband and friend that I should be, other areas of my life have been left in want of my attentiions. These areas include, but are not limited to, my long distance friendships, videogames, the purchasing and rearranging of DVDs, and various shenanigans and goings on.

I find the benefits of spending time with my wife far outweigh the benefits of say, beating Splinter Cell 3, or buying the sexy new 4-disc version of Kingdom of Heaven (which I want sooo badly). These benefits are almost narcotic in nature, demanding ever more of my time and my resources. I can't stop being married. It's just so...addicting. You know?

But all of that is neither here nor there.

You need to visit www.quicktime.com immediately (instantly!) and watch the trailer for Stranger than Fiction. It looks wonderful, and I've decided that I already like it immensely.

If you're married, get off your computer and go be with your spouse (or call them, or whatever).

If you're single, you have my pity.

I'm Nathanael May, and you stay classy, Pleonast.

i don't know if i have heard of that movie -- i will get on immediately and watch the trailer! :)

by minders at 08/25/06 10:05AM
The above is very much the explanation behind why I: 1) no longer play the trumpet [other things to do with lips]; 2) never learned the fiddle, mandolin, nor guitar; 3) never figured out how to play video games past Galaga and Donkey Kong. Well, its between the above explanation, and the introduction of the "little creatures who sap your energy, strength and sleep" -- one of the two. Enjoy!!

by blagosloven_chovek at 08/25/06 12:14PM
That's cool. One of these day you can be friends with all of us again. ;-)

by mjintexas at 08/25/06 10:57PM
days, even. Not just one day.

by mjintexas at 08/25/06 10:58PM
Big congrats on being a hubby... since i never got to say that to you before

by bbbubblegrl at 08/25/06 11:28PM
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?? single people dont need pity! single people are awesome! and though you may have pleasant responsibilities to your spouse, it is NOT okay to ignore your friends! the importance of friendship does not end when you get married. and you dont have to be married to be complete. there. i think my tirade is over now.

by lefantstaf at 08/26/06 6:49PM
your posts make me laugh!

by dawnmk23 at 08/26/06 7:00PM
dont't pity me foo!

by whiteboy at 08/26/06 11:58PM
Word.

by kristonian at 08/27/06 7:12AM
I'm wondering if you and Misty are watching the Emmy awards.

by jenn at 08/27/06 7:32PM

by magz07 at 08/27/06 9:49PM

6 more weeks to go until D-Day. Yay!

by kristonian at 08/28/06 7:12PM
pitty, nah i don't need it. i need to give you a shout soon and tell you who i saw last week.

by rosemary at 08/29/06 9:04AM
Tyler and I were at Starbucks this morning - bright and early about 6:45. Guess you don't get in until 9:00 ish. Oh well - the drinks were still very good!

by frost34 at 08/29/06 5:18PM
thats funny because the ads i see are about toe nail fungus, go figure! :)

by minders at 09/02/06 8:54AM

You can ask you uncle to shoot video of your wedding. Maybe your cousin, or your neighbor (!) just bought a new camera and is aching to use it. Have them do it. That's okay.

But if you want to be blown away by an event that you yourself planned, and be amazed that you can look as good as you do, then ask Shawny Shawn Rubel and Ericy Eric Wallace to come to your wedding and work their magic. They will make you wonder how anything can be so awesome.

And I just wanted you all to know that. Because in 10-15 years, when my kids want to know what kind of rad happened at their parent's wedding, we can show them.

In HD.

Thanks, gentlemen of DP Mediagroup. Our collective hats are off to you.

I'm Nathanael May, and you stay classy, Pleonast.

maybe they should hire you as their spokesman...

by tu_madre at 08/18/06 6:24PM
that's a pretty good looking picture

by whipsmile at 08/18/06 10:15PM
He posts!!! :)
Love your wedding ad. :)

by mjintexas at 08/19/06 3:20AM
your video was awesome! Wasn't I going to get a copy? I had to watch mom and dads. Oh well it was great! Especially one specific bridesmaid! She was terrific! (But not as awesome as the bride or the groom!)

by minders at 08/19/06 11:58AM
yeah HD!!!

by cmvermont at 08/19/06 5:13PM
Thanks minders, I thought I looked pretty snazzy too, its nice to know you agree with me!

by meggypeg at 08/19/06 11:21PM
nice picture and advertisement. hope all is well:)

by rosemary at 08/20/06 4:08PM
I watched the little clips online, and they did a SPLENDID job.. I was impressed, as usual:)

by jesspico at 08/20/06 9:54PM

Yes indeed...

at 08/04/06 1:37PM

Problem: Misty and I need a second vehicle, because only having one just isn't working out very well.

Problem: Until we sell this house, we have no money.

Solution: When we sell the house, get one of these:

Soon and very soon.

In other news, my wife has a link on her blog to all our wedding pictures. Check it out.

I'm Nathanael May, and you stay classy, Pleonast.

We got to test drive Segways the other day. I'm a big fan of those and of Vespas.

by jenn at 08/04/06 2:52PM
Scary. But I'm just a mom. What do I know?

by fauxbelle at 08/04/06 2:53PM
so awesome.

by cptkeith84 at 08/04/06 3:25PM
motorcycles make me cringe.

by mjintexas at 08/04/06 4:22PM
yet you have no problem weilding firearms...go figure ;)

by whipsmile at 08/04/06 6:09PM
she's quite the beauty...

by weekendsongservice at 08/05/06 12:22AM
Don't get one of those stupid crotch rockets that will tempt you to split lanes like almost every other insufferabe jerkhole who seems to ride one of those. One of these days when I see one of them coming along the shoulder in gridlocked traffic I'm opening my door. It's cool, I have full coverage.

Get a road bike, they are a little classier, with more panache.

by chaz at 08/05/06 6:09PM
Sweet. We need to talk.

by cellocellocello at 08/06/06 5:10PM
sweet but be CAREFUL! my cousin just had a major motorcycle wreck in birmingham 6 days ago and is VERY lucky to be alive!

by tickets at 08/06/06 6:34PM
I'm with Val - scary. The boys have threatened many times to get one of those.

by frost34 at 08/07/06 2:55PM
So...I'm buying a Mini Cooper S. For real. Ordering it from England and am going to get to track it on the boat and everything. Of all people, I thought that you would be the only one to find that remotely exciting.

by kristonian at 08/09/06 4:40PM
Actually, that makes me super excited. And super jealous. And I don't even know you.

And the motorcycle's awesome. Just makes sure there's room for your lady-friend on the back.

by nickomundo at 08/10/06 12:33PM
Keith just recently bought one.....I intend to do the same in the near future as well.

by matthewdickey at 08/11/06 10:37AM
House for a motorcycle? Sounds like a fair trade.

by mister_c at 08/11/06 1:35PM
That looks like it has an outboard motor on the back. :o)

by lovnprayers at 08/11/06 11:15PM
I'm going to order it on Monday. In 8 weeks, I'll be the happiest girl on the planet.

by kristonian at 08/13/06 9:48AM
I keep looking forward to your posts... which keep not coming...
