<title><![CDATA[Lexus IS Ideal for Executives]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Having a friend who works for a car leasing firm is definitely well-cool. Whenever he gets a new mod]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/Lexus_IS-Is220D_4Dr_Sal_22-10038.htm"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-341" src="http://wotskool.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/lexus_logo.gif" alt="" width="115" height="68" /></a>Having a friend who works for a <a title="Car Leasing from Nationwide" href="http://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/" target="_blank">car leasing </a>firm is definitely well-cool. Whenever he gets a new model in the showroom he gives me a call and I get to come along for a little test drive. Brilliant.</p>
<p>His latest and greatest leasing offer is on the fantastic <a title="Lexus IS 4-door saloon" href="http://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/Lexus_IS-Is220D_4Dr_Sal_22-10038.htm" target="_blank">Lexus IS 4-door saloon</a> which could be yours for  measly £249.95 per month, plus VAT. To buy outright this beast of a car could cost you as much as £50K, with all the bells and whistles.</p>
<p>We went for a spin in the Lexus and I was enormously impressed. It's not really a car for me as I don't think it would suit my regular runs to our local tip laden with garden waster. This car is definitely in the executive class with great handling, top quality interior and fantastic security and safety features.</p>
<p>So if you are looking for a practical little runabout this probably isn't for you. But if you are looking for a well equipped, safe and secure executive class saloon I'd recommend taking a ride in a Lexus IS.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#993366;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>I was asked out again. Don't know if I will go. He gave me time to think about it. Sigh...My relationship with John has really soured me on men and dating. I try not to paint all men with the same brush, but I was abused so badly by John that I am terrified of men now. When I'm asked out I panic inside and feel like throwing up. I see John's cruel face. I hear his ugly words. I wonder if the man asking me out just needs a shill...Like John did...because John was having sex with Dave while claiming fidelity to me. He was also having sex with Lynette, (probably many others too). John's treatment of me demoralized my heart and my soul, and I don't know if I'll ever recover from that fear.  I am terrified of being used and abused again. I don't know if I'll go out with this guy or not. I will have to think on it for a while.</strong></span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">You haven’t changed, but I have. I am strong and no longer under your control. That really pisses you off. I don’t care. People need to know what you and the vipers did to me. If you don’t like what I write, you have only yourself to blame. I know it's hard to face the truth for negative people such as yourself. You should have been a better man. You should have been a better boyfriend. You should have been a better daddy for our baby Ashley. If you had, she may have lived. Deal with it.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">You know, as logical as I am, I really do have a hard time understanding addiction. Sitting here thinking about my friend Jenny, and all the people I have known who happily put their addictions ahead of their children. I was certainly not the most perfect parent but I was sober, loving, trusting, trustworthy, understanding and I was there for my kids whenever they needed me. Even though my boys have some issues they need to deal with, those issues stem from some bad influences entering their lives without my knowledge. </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">Having said all that I just don’t understand ANYTHING being more important than ones children. **********</span></h3>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">
<h3><span style="color:#333399;">To Jenny, her drinking is more important than her kids.</span></h3>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">
<h3><span style="color:#333399;">To Glenn, his being high on prescription meds is more important than his kids.</span></h3>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">
<h3><span style="color:#333399;">To John, money and his hatred of his ex-wife is more important than his kids.</span></h3>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">
<h3><span style="color:#333399;">To my Mother, her bitterness at the cards life dealt her was more important than her kids.</span></h3>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">
<h3><span style="color:#333399;">To my Sister, her next score of illegal drugs was more important than her kids. </span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">Why do people have children if those children and their importance are disposable? I don’t understand how anyone can consider anything as being more important than their kids. </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">Don’t get me wrong. I am not one of those people who think that my children are little princes who are perfect because of the mere fact that they are mine. Nope. So it’s not an ego thing with me where they are so perfect that I, and everyone, must genuflect at my children’s feet. Nowhere near that. Just like in life, I am nothing if not realistic about my sons and nephew.</span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">It’s just that I cant think of anything, that if I knew it was in any way negatively impacting my children, that I wouldn’t give it up in a heartbeat.  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">  </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;">Is it that the addicted choose not to see the impact on the children? Is it that they convince themselves that it isn’t having an impact? Or does it truly not matter to them as long as the continued addiction is not impeded in any way? I guess I am just musing. Because I don’t have an addictive personality it is a little difficult for me to understand the NEED for anything if it puts ones children in danger or alienates them. </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;"> </span></h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="color:#333399;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Don’t forget to visit my site called “I Call Myself A Jerk Magnet!”</strong> </span><a href="http://catharsis.scriptmania.com/"><span style="color:#5b211a;">http://catharsis.scriptmania.com/</span></a> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>I get teased a lot about being a "Jerk Magnet" because many of my co-workers have visited my site, and those who haven't know that I do refer to myself as a Jerk Magnet. Bert even gave me a huge magnet as a joke. He said one good magnet deserves another! LOL!!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>So today, while waiting in the big boss' office for a meeting to begin, the big boss was telling us how he is an ordained minister and he has had a lot of people call him recently and request that he officiate at their wedding. He has told us about other weddings he has officiated and how much he enjoyed it, but today he said it is beginning to demand too much of his attention. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>Martha asked him, Well what if one of your kids get married? Will you officiate? </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>He said "Oh, of course I will!" </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>Then Bert said "What if a close friend asks you to officiate their wedding? </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;color:#ff0000;"><strong>He said "Of Course". </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Then I chimed in with "What if I find the Jerk I want to spend the rest of my life with? Will you officiate?" Then the room erupted in to laughter!</strong></span>  </span><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:x-small;color:#ff00ff;"><strong>After work Chris and I went to the thrift store because she needed some new pants. I saw a relatively new looking box fan there and it was only $3.50. I plugged it in at the thrift store and it worked fine. It has been soooo hot lately that it's been miserable at my place. According to the news it was over 100 degrees yesterday. Because of how miserable it's been I decided to splurge and buy the box fan. I brought it home plugged it in. The fan sputtered for only a second or two, than poof! A little smoke came from the wall socket and the lights went out and the TV went off. Scared the heck out of me. The thrift store doesn't give refunds so I now have a fan shaped paperweight. I know to some people $3.50 isn't a lot of money, but to me it is very much a great deal of money. It makes me sick to think that I wasted $3.50! But I guess on the bright side...it didn't burn my house down! &#60;GRIN&#62;</strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Here is the latest post John has left on my site. Now you see what I went through for 2  1/2 years. Now you can see why I keep my personal site up. That way if anything happens to me, the authorities will know where to look.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>I apologize for the language used in the posting. It was written by John Talmage to ME not by ME.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Go fuck yourself Desi. This is a free country John or I can go to any website and post anything- Freedom of speech! It's choice for you to approve or disapprove the comments. What are you going to do call the cops and file some bogus report like you did with Dave a few years ago over some offhand comment he made to you? What cha going do- make us sign a letter of apology written by you? You had better expect nasty comments when you threaten someone's business and reputation and spread rumors and lies. </span></strong></p>

<div class="paragraph Body">Helen and Steve are cool. Steve builds boats and has extraordinary parties on his boat yard. One of the bands I play in, Hazzard County, are lucky enough to be invited to perform at some of these parties when they happen and they are some of the most fun gigs I’ve ever done.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">There is no road to the boat yard so the gear is loaded onto boats in Whitby and shipped up the Esk. Or if the tide is out its pulled on a tiny trailer by a lawnmower alongside the raliway line that passes the back of the boat yard.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">Guests have to walk a mile or so through the fields and along the railway line and under the viaduct carrying their booze, guitars, fireworks and sleeping bags. If it’s after the pub you need a good torch.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">The place is beautiful and secluded and made amazing by the efforts of Steve and Helen. The party last week was for Helen’s birthday, and they had built a full sized, fully functioning Wild West Saloon on an enormous jetty out on the river. It had a bar, chandeliers, swing doors, us playing, big open windows, a tree growing through the roof and room for a few hundred people. The guests were dressed in ‘Cowboys and Indians’ gear and brought tents or teepees to sleep in. The corral, the saloon, the uneven ground, the drunk cowboys, the hillbilly music, the tents, the candles and the campfires created the disturbingly real but pleasingly magical effect of being at a real western saloon, or a least, on a film set of one.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">We were up past dawn making a right row.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">Some of the most memorable and amazing times in my life have been the result of wonderful people putting in an immense effort to create a little bit of magic. It brings me joy to know that, although we’re so frequently surrounded by negativity, idleness, cynicism, the unimaginative, the jaded, and the stuck-in-a-routine sluggish crap big brother awfulness of so many people’s existence, that there are folks who’ll go to enormous effort to bring a sparkle to their friends eyes. To put a little bit of magic in their lives, if only for moment.</div>
<div class="paragraph Body"> </div>
<div class="paragraph Body">Wouldn’t it be wonderful if more of us were like that and put the effort in to shake people up a bit and remind them to live a bit once in a while, remind them to be a bit of a kid sometimes. Remember what it was like making dens, rolling down hills, building assault causes, racing bikes, hiding, garden hopping, playing on building sites and swinging over becks...?</div>

<description><![CDATA[We made the mistake of hitting the morning rush hour. The caddy crept northbound along the north/sou]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">We made the mistake of hitting the morning rush hour. The caddy crept northbound along the north/south freeway in the Jersey burbs of Philadelphia. “We should have left Wildwood last night,” Joe complained. My self-appointed chauffeur patience was thinning and I wondered how long he would stick it out. The man had nothing to gain; if he actually thought he would be a Supreme Court nominee, he was crazier than I thought. He was enjoying an extended barhopping trip, I told myself. The Walt Whitman Bridge came into view and so did the bottleneck its tolls created. I thought back to Howard Stern’s Gubernatorial Campaign when he promised elimination of all tollbooths, sitting in traffic, it didn’t seem such a farfetched idea. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">“You off the wagon yet?” Joe asked. “I have some people I want you to meet.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">My body screamed at me. I so wanted a tall blonde, I could taste it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">“I’m there, it’ll probably be more effective than a photo op at the liberty bell.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">An hour and a half later, we were in Port Richmond section of the city. Joe brought the Caddy to a rest in front of a small corner bar called Shenanigan’s Saloon. “We could have gotten your photo op,” Joe said noting that the bar wasn’t yet open. I shrugged.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">I slipped out of the car and walked down Gaul Street, thinking back to the time I spent in Philadelphia. It was back in the days of the 1978 MOVE standoff in Powelton Village, when the cops made a military style invasion of the group’s home. Frank Rizzo was still mayor and after the incident, I left Philly and never returned until today. When I finished with my walk, Joe was inside the bar. He was munching on hot wings, drinking a cold one and wiping the tears from his eyes. Looking up, he said: “Hottest Wings in the city.<span> </span>I ordered you some.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">The small crowd, consisting of a local and the bartender, was interested in what had to say. Before long, the conversation turned parochial and we discussed the happenings of the city in the past thirty years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">We ended spending the afternoon and part of the early evening. Patrons shuffled in and out, some coming in just to see a presidential candidate. Around 7 PM we said goodbye to our new friends. Joe guided the Caddy through Philly to the Schuylkill Expressway and out to the western burbs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">I owed a visit to the campaign manager’s hometown. Joe pulled into Royersford and found Tom’s bar. I immediately understood why this was his watering hole. Any bar that has $1.50 tall blonde specials is my kind of place. I introduced myself to the silver haired lady sitting near the side door and a faint smile came over her face as I told her I was instructed to stop at Tom’s on my campaign. We fell into a friendly chat in which I gained dirt on the campaign manager.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:0.5in;">I learned when you had the attention of the diminutive boss, you had the attention of the bar. Tonight, the bar was crowded and I fell into a tizzy of handshaking and stumping. Between my experience in Erie and the southeastern corner of the state, I think the campaign’s goal for Pennsylvania will be attained. I looked across the bar, saw Joe in conversation, and knew that I was wearing out my welcome. I slipped from Tom’s into the parking lot, retrieved my pack from the Caddy and walked down Royersford’s Main Street till I came to the tracks. I looked east and west, standing indecisive for a minute before choosing west. I strode down the tracks into the darkness of night. <span> </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I knew Minnesota was cheaper than Miami but <em>dang</em> – the portions are <strong>ridiculous</strong> here. I went to the local Japanese restaurant and ordered this $8.99 dish. And erm.... <em>Yeah</em>. That’s too much food. It doesn't look like a lot but that plate is like 10x10 inches of nothing but meat. PETA would flip.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://dennisjansen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/toomuchfood.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-598" src="http://dennisjansen.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/toomuchfood.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Another thing that’s killing me is the drink specials. The drinks are about $2 cheaper than in Miami and there always seems to be a 2-4-1 or 3-4-1 special going on. My problem is that I’m not a huge drinker, and at some clubs they don’t give you a ticket… they just hand you two beers.</p>
<p>There's <em>no </em>graceful way to doublefist beer at the clubhouse. You'll look like you have issues <strong>every time</strong>.</p>
<p>So the result of the Minnesota portion problem is that I’m always lugging around a <em>to-go </em>box.</p>
<p>And yes, there’s one sitting on my coffee table as I’m typing this.</p>
<hr />
The University is only about two miles from downtown so I’ve spent a lot of time roaming and playing tourist. I love the sculptures that are all over downtown.</p>

These guys are my favorite. It's like the bird turds have come to life and decided to garden!</p>

So apparently the Mary Tyler Moore Show was based here... as a kid I assumed all city shows took place in NYC. Oops!</p>
<p>Moving to Minneapolis a month early was a good idea. I’m meeting my housemates sort of one-by-one as they move in instead of in a huge group a few days before school starts. I also get to explore at a relaxed (and <em>random</em>) pace <em>–“Oh let’s see where this bus goes to!”</em></p>
<hr />
One thing that has been on the to-do list is City Hall.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://dennisjansen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/cityhall3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-601" src="http://dennisjansen.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/cityhall3.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="600" /></a><br />
City Hall!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://dennisjansen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/cityhall2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-600" src="http://dennisjansen.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/cityhall2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a><br />
Stained glass windows in City Hall</p>
<p>I was a history major as an undergrad and I’m a huge sucker for historic buildings. City hall didn’t disappoint – a highlight was the heroic statue in the middle of the lobby.</p>

<p>More pictures of downtown at my facebook <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2183759&#38;l=a2e0a&#38;id=10600543">gallery 1</a> and <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2184877&#38;l=322bf&#38;id=10600543">gallery 2</a>.</p>
<hr />
The downtown Barnes &#38; Noble has become my downtown hangout spot. It has window seats facing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicollet_Avenue">Nicollet Avenue</a> – the people watching is amazing. Today however, the entertainment was inside,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Lady sitting behind me (to her friend): </strong>Our new couch is <em>AMAZING</em>. This must be the best time in our marriage because we must have tried seven different positions last night – the sex has never been better!</p></blockquote>
<p>Umm... maybe they'll name the baby Ikea?</p>
<p>Other snippets:</p>
<ul>
<li>I’ve now competent with the public transit system. Well, uh, less awkward at least.</li>
<li>Package scare. Madre Jansen calls me and says, <em>“Uh, the package I sent was delivered yesterday. They left it outside of the house on the side door. FIND IT!”</em> Turns out that they left it on the <em>side door</em> of the house. Why? No clue. I think it was out there all night but someone brought it in eventually. <em>Whew</em>. This is after yesterday's package mishap where mom accidentally sent my stuff to my next door neighbor, <em>Campus Crusade for Christ.</em></li>
<li><a href="http://www.saloonmn.com/">Latin Night at Saloon</a> was a hot mess. I had my <em>“Oh my god where the heck did I move to?!"</em> moment somewhere between the Latin room<em> (where no one knew how to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqgUhD59DWI">whine</a>)</em> and the karaoke room where the male cast of Friends was <em>belching</em> out golden oldies.</li>
<li>There are so many bikers (<em>bicyclists</em>) here. A lot of them wear helmets too, which I find unusual as well. They tear down some of the streets like the apocalypse is nigh – I’m scared that I’m going to get hit one of these days.</li>
<li>What really perturbs me is that the clubs here serve food. A girl was eating fries at the bar. Ew. <em>“Girl you know your breath is <strong>hot</strong>.”</em> One club even has <em>computers</em>. That’s right. <em>Computers</em>. People check their email up in the clubhouse – that’s just <strong>seven different forms</strong> of unacceptable.</li>
<li>And finally, NASCAR came to downtown Minneapolis today. Why? I don't know. I don't question racecars in the middle of the city.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><a href="http://dennisjansen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/nascar.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-597" src="http://dennisjansen.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/nascar.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>And I realize my posts are incoherent/in snippet format. Things will shape up once I get out of my wide-eyed tourist mode.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baltimore, Maryland<br />
October 17, 2007</p>
<p>Thursday - 10 p.m.</p>
<p>After an early afternoon arrival, Joe and I head to the harbor where we discover that Baltimore is an adorable combination of history, charm, and industry with an endless bounty of Irish pubs. We shoot the harbor, Fells Point, downtown, and some rooftop pans of the city from the top of a parking garage before settling into some good beer drinking. It's at "The Oldest Saloon in America" that I meet a gaggle of creepy dudes older than Joe that find me absolutely fascinating. Plus they're traveling on a boat, so I'm sold -- regardless of their apparent creepiness. Being the protective older-brother-type that he is, Joe puts a time limit on my increasingly bold flirtations with Billie, "The Goatee Guy," and the Bald Friend.</p>
<p>"I'm mean," I say to them, with my oh-so-cute little grin, "You don't want to hang with me."  I have recently found that the more you tell a dude to stay away from you, the more he digs you... It's a weird reverse-psychology reaction that, I'm starting to find, works quite nicely.</p>
<p>"I don't think so," Goatee Guy says. "I think you're sweet, and smart, and probably really fun."</p>
<p>Oh come on... who can resist some good old fashioned hard-core flattery? I continue to assure Goatee Guy and Bald Friend that I'm the raging bitch from hell, and they continue to assure me I'm wonderful. After several rounds of this ridiculousness, Joe tries to hustle me out the swinging saloon doors. But I'm drunk on their adoration... and vodka. We decide to go together to another bar down the street and play some pool...</p>
<p>Joe is neither amused nor drunk... But he goes along to babysit. I am grateful.</p>
<p>After a couple very strange games of pool where there is some sort of strained sexual tension in the air (maybe it's the phallic nature of the stick), I give Goatee Guy my phone number and tell him he won't call me the next night to go for a boat ride. I am finding this reverse-psychology tactic to be extremely effective.</p>
<p>Joe looks irritated and the number of creepy dudes in the bar is growing by the minute. To keep my colleague happy -- and to avoid any potential scenarios where I might be forced to kiss one of the creepy dudes -- Joe and<em> </em>I stumble out onto the damp streets towards the car. But not before Goatee Guy promises to call the next night to take me on a boat ride. I say "Yeah Right."</p>
<p>Just so you know -- he did call. Three times. Actually, he was still calling long after my return to the west coast. And I definitely sent it directly to voicemail every time. But I feel this story bears scrutiny for several reasons. 1.) Why did I feel the need to flirt with men I wasn't interested in who were clearly just out for a night in the gloryhole? And 2.) Why did it work?</p>
<p>The world of flirtation is a massive mystery to me. Not only do I generally do it poorly, but I am shocked when it works. Verbally bashing a man repeatedly is pretty much as good as it gets for me in terms of flirting. And as long as I do it with a smile, I seem to get by. But this recent tactic seems to work much better. Further research required.</p>
<p>And thus concludes the most exciting story from Baltimore -- and my musing on flirtations.</p>
