So last week I found out that my other neighbor ended up calling the dog catcher on the neighbor with the dog. I guess the lady threw a fit and came over and was calling the lady all sorts of names and even included the “N” word. Well the dog catcher got there and he told them to call the cops because i guess this lady was out of control and I heard the kids were throwing stuff at the dog catcher. Anyway the police came and i think wrote her a ticket for her dog (finally).
Then last friday i noticed that one of my beach towels was missing from my deck. I looked all over for it. Then noticed some items in my pool. So i put two and two together and I figured the neighbor kids came and jumped in my pool and used my towel and took it with them. So fast forward to Monday evening. I told Erin about the missing towel. She decides she will go talk to the neighbor and ask if they have the towel. When i got home i saw a kid with no shirt on standing out in my yard. So Erin goes over to the neighbor house and says something about our missing towel. I go to my back yard and see that they just got out of the pool. The deck was wet and the water in my pool was still moving. I also noticed a wrapper at the top of my stairs and then saw that they had stuck a condom on my door handle.
Meanwhile Erin is talking to the neighbor’s neice. The neighbor was working or something and the niece was babysitting. She goes on to tell us that yeah the 13 year old kid was swimming in my pool and that ever since his dad died he has been acting out a lot and causing a lot of trouble. She says the mom doesn’t know what to do with him and she kinda hinted at she wished they would take him away or something, cause she can’t handle him. Erin asks the lady if they have our other towel and the niece said she thinks she saw one like it. She goes and gets it for us. We then call the cops and they show up. The cop pretty much told us that they could do pretty much nothing to the kid since he was only 13. He told us to let this one go but next time we should press charges and what not. The cop told me to get No Tresspassing signs to put in my yard. One should know not to jump my fence and get in my pool and take my towel.
Anyway i talked to the other neighbors and they all seemed fed up with them too. We are hoping that they can’t keep the house and they end up moving(please god). Anyone got any suggestions on how to get rid of your neighbors?

Some of you already know by now but for those who don’t, I have started a Sports Forum website: www.SportsForumz.com
This site is exactly what you think. It’s a forum site that has categories for all major U.S. sports(NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, PGA, UFC, NCAA, etc…). If you think some need to be added please let me know. I am actually doing the Google Adwords for this one, to drive traffic to my site. Should be nice to see how that works and at what price.
I think the hardest thing for a forum site is to get it started. I need to have people who will post and post often. If someone visits from one of my ads then they most likely wont join because I don’t have that many users yet, so this is somewhat of a problem. The success of a forum site lies within the users and how active the forum is.
I am currently working on getting a Logo done for this site. Hopefully it will freshen up the page some and stick out. Please check out the forum and tell me what you think. Also if you know someone who might be interested in joining please tell them about it.

This past Friday I got into a huge bar brawl. This picture is the results of that.
Just kidding. I was actually playing softball on Friday and I was playing second base and a batter smoked a ball at me. It took one crazy hop and smoked me in the head. The ball ended up going all the way to right field. It didn’t really hurt that bad and I didn’t think i was bleeding but then i felt some blood (which i thought was sweat until i saw it) flowing out of my head. I went to the dugout and put a rag on it. Everyone there was saying it was a pretty good gash and that i needed stitches. So after a little bit i left and went to the hospital and they ended up putting 10 stitches in my head.
I didn’t get to see the gash until i got to the hospital. It was a pretty big gash and it was actually my first time in the Emergency room. I thought it was my first stitches ever then my mom reminded me of my knee surgery. I forgot about those stitches. Anyway im all right and i think the doctor did pretty good at stitching me up. Hopefully its not too bad of a scar. This might have ruined my modeling career. Damn, what am i going to do.

I finally picked up my new Civic Hybrid on Tuesday. I know i have only owned it for a few days but I thought I would give my review of it so far.
So far things are great with it. On my way home from the dealship which was about 42 miles away I got an average of 49 mpg/miles per gallon. Then on my way to work on Wednesday i got 50 mpg. On my way home from work I decided i would drive like i normally drive which is about 10 -20 mph over the limit. Driving like this got me 46 mpg, which was still pretty great considering i got 12 with my jeep.
The interior is pretty slick. Climate control, plenty of room (even in the backseat). It has a cd player which is an upgrade over my jeep (only had a tape player). Power windows and locks are a great feature that the jeep didn’t have. I love the way the dash is set up. At night it has a few cool looking blue lights, instead of the same old boring lights that most vehicles have.
Most people seem to think that the hybrids don’t have any “get up and go” power. So far i can not complain. Of course it’s not a corvette or a Mustang GT, but i compare it to most other cars. I have not had it floored yet to see where it will max out at but i have been going 80 on the interstate without any issues.
The one thing i don’t really like about the car is the horn. I am not sure if this a Honda issue or what but it just sounds really wimpy. It sounds like the road runner from the cartoons. I guess i just wont use the horn ever. lol.
Thats all i have so far. I am really pleased with the vehicle. I will do more reviews later.

I think i am finally going to get rid of my jeep. I love the jeep but it just burns through the gas. I fill up every other day.
So I decided i would take the plunge and get a hybrid. I am going to go with the Civic Hybrid. The Toyota Prius is supposed to be the best one out there but I really can’t stand the looks of them. The Civic is right up there with the Prius but actually looks like a decent car. It’s not great looking but I am not really worried about the looks as much as the savings in gas $$$.
My jeep gets me 12 miles per gallon. I drive around 120 miles per weekday. The civic gets between 45-51 highway miles per gallon. That would be a huge savings. Plus the government is giving a Federal Tax Credit for buying a hybrid. That equals $2100.
The honda website has a savings calculator. It asks for how much i pay on average per gallon for gas. I put in $3.00 even though it is like $3.25 right now. It also asks how many miles I generally drive per day. I put in 100 miles a day. Then it asks how much highway gas mileage i currently get which is around 12.
Then it calculates your savings. In five years my savings would be $34,889.71 on gas.
It also gives a 10 year savings of $69,779.41. Those are some huge savings. I know this number will vary with the civic MPG, but even half of that would be great. Hopefully come Tuesday I might have my new vehicle.
