This is an old blog that used to be known as The All You Can Nate Special: $5 Cover. I haven't done anything with it since 2007, but I'm thinking about getting back into blogging. At this blog, you'll find the random thoughts, political rants, alcohol-induced diatribes, and other musings of a Nebraska-born guy in his mid 20's. And then, you'll go through a time warp and find the ramblings of the same guy who is suddenly in his 30's, married, and a dad. Stranger things have happened.

Location: Nebraska, United States

Some might say that I'm the Man. And those who say so would be right. The reasons are various and sundry, and I don't particularly care to get into them. So I guess you'll just have to trust me. If you want to know more about me, be you a friend, stranger, hypochondriac, or even a narcoleptic, you'll just have to read on.

I like watching Family Guy. Stewie is one of the greatest characters ever. Possibly the greatest. I'll never forget the episode in which he dreamed that he ransacked Mr. Rogers' World of Make-Believe. Total classic.

That said, sometimes that show just tries too hard.

Jennifer had some more happy news today, as her husband Cam has been promoted to supervisor at his job. Congratulations, Cam! And yes, for those of you betting on when they'll start having children, this will affect the Vegas line.

You know, I can't help but think about how cool it would be if my average work day had a soundtrack. For instance, my arrival could be marked by "Duel Without Honor Or Humanity" from the Kill Bill v.1 soundtrack. I'd use The Crystal Method's "Keep Hope Alive (There Is Hope)" remix for trips to the break room. As for the weekly meeting, I think I'd go with the tried and true "Sandstorm" by Darude. Now that I think about it, those meetings would probably go a lot better if they had some flashing strobe lights, a fog machine, and some rave music. Just a thought.

Mike, Ted, Kelly, and I will be heading down to Columbia this weekend for the the Nebraska-Missouri game. Evidently, the Vegas line on the game favors Mizzou by 3. It's pretty obvious to me that they're looking at the Huskers through the lense of the win against Pitt (admittedly, it was a poorly played game) and the loss to Texas Tech. I feel halfway inclined to put a wee bit o' money on this one. Kickoff is at 11:30a. I really hate morning games, but I've never been to a game at Mizzou, so I figure that I might as well check it out.

The Oklahoma game is also going to have a morning kickoff, at 11a. If you could see me right now, you'd notice that I'm furrowing my brow in anger. I don't understand how you schedule a game featuring the latest chapter of one of the most historic rivalries in college football as anything other than a night game. Come on! It's Nebraska-Oklahoma; this is a game that should be savored and attended only after about seven hours of tailgating.

I guess that weekend I'll be attending a couple costume parties; one with some co-workers on Friday, and then another at Brad's house after the game. I'm pretty sure I know what my costume will be. Because

I want candy,
Bubblegum and taffy.
Skip to the sweet shop with my girlfriend Sandy.
Got my pennies saved so I'm her sugar daddy.
I'm her Hune Cronyn;
She my Jessica Tandy.

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't watch Aqua Teen as I type. Now that I think about it, though, I do have an episode of Grey's Anatomy that I want to finish watching. All hail the DVR.
