Life and Podcasting

So yes, to all who haven't heard I am living on my own now. Moved out of my parents' place. Everyone makes it sound like a big deal, but I don't find it overly different. I mean yeah, there's no one else around; but some weeks the only people I'd ever see were co-workers anyway.

I used to work a rotating shift; they changed to straights last week though. And no, I've yet to notice a difference; it's only been a week.

I had to move because I wrecked my Jeep. So with no means of transportation to and from work, change had to be made. I had to get closer to work. So I traded car payments and a 20 minute drive to work for rent and a 20 minute walk.

The only real thing I need to get used to is the "not having my own means of transportation" aspect. *sigh* The dealership I got my Jeep from was super sketchy, and my Jeep was starting to cost more than it should have in repairs. I'd only had it a year. Yeah, I liked it and yeah I miss it, but it frees me from the issues of it.

Anyway, I digress...

I'm beginning to think of making my own podcasts. I blog occasionally, I vlog when I'm really up and at 'em about something - I know it's been a while, and I am sorry. I don't have a lot going on, and I don't have a place to do it anymore. Most vlogs were done on the road, and as I don't drive now, it's hard. I could do it in my apartment, but when I'm home I hate being properly clothed. I don't think YouTube moderators and audiences would be amused. But vlogging showed me I can talk about a lot. This is unexpected as I am a quiet person. And I can be quite animated with my voice; this is good for podcasting as that's all there is - aside from my words - to keep listeners amused. And I mean really, I did want to be a radio personality, and did go to school for it. So depending how everything turns out, it could be awesome.

Now, as a podcast IS like a radio show, and I will be basing it as a talk show, I need stuff to talk about. I can lead conversation, but it helps to have other people's points of view. I'd never ask someone to call in, don't get me wrong it could be fun. Just to start off that mightn't be a good idea.

I'm going to start it off with Twitter mentions and e-mails. What else is there? lol

I am open - as always - totalk about anything and everything. So if you're reading this and want in on the fun here's what you can do:

Through Twitter mention @Rough_Wrangler and tag it #PLaunch.

As an e-mail start your subject with PLaunch.

Now, I'm a stickler for grammar and punctuation. If this takes off, I'll be less likely to deal with crap grammar and lack of punctuation - unless you are a regular. But until then, I will read and respond to all no matter what. This doesn't mean I won't act all "What the fuck," and fire remarks at you about your grammar and punctuation. But I mean hey, you're on here, and probably following my Twitter; we all have thick skin, do we not?

So anyway, just keep your eyes peeled! I'll be sure to let everyone know what's going on.

Be sure to pipe up, as I always like input, and am looking for topics to talk about. Again, anything is fair game!

Let's hear what you got!

Tempting, Tormenting, and Tribulatious Tits

Ah, where to start...

I find that men seem to focus on la boobies too much. I don't have 'em and men DON'T feel me up - for obvious reasons - but by god I get an earful.

Boys, you need to focus on the whole woman.

I am amused by breasts, and yeah I am a boob man; but that doesn't mean that's all I focus on. And I HATE hearing about... *sigh* *grumble* Just... there's more to a woman than boobs and sex. Take fuckin' note.

You have to arouse her with your mind; lead to the touch, and don't jump the gun to the "forbidden places."
Play with words, make her feel wanted. More than that; make her ache for things and don't just GIVE them to her. You're working to make her want you, have her work some to get you. Men aren't the only gender to enjoy "the chase."

Anyway...
Women with large mammary glands have them appreciated by every Joe Blow that has eyes, and is heterosexual. They even get noticed by WOMEN! And if they round the bases with a guy, THAT'S HIS MAIN FOCUS.
Even if a woman has (let's say) smaller breasts, they're still an attention getter. They are - after all - boobs.

So after I romance a woman and appreciate everything about her - from her intellect (no matter how small or large) to her mannerisms, and her body - and things turn from playful (and clothed) touching, dancing, cuddling, and so on... into more naked activities, I don't want to be able to tell that she's about tired of dudes hands on her tits, as mine get close. That pisses me off.
And yes, I have spoken with the opposite gender (whom I've been with and not) about this; I frequently hear, "Well guys focus on them and not me," or, "I have big boobs, I'm used to being ignored," and my personal favourite, "They get played with all the time."

Guys, you gotta pay equal attention to other areas of a woman's body.
Gals, they're gonna get played with. I apologize on behalf of males everywhere for having them played SO often, but they won't be ignored.

Also, I like a nice set of legs and a hot booty, so yeah I'll sink my fingers into them.
When I grab your ass I'm not shooting for... you know. I'm just enjoying myself and enjoying you.

"When you assume you make an ass out of you and me."

Inner Nerd: Super Couples

Who's got the down lo on hero and villain (super or not) couples? I'm trying to pick a set, and coming up empty. I'm currently stuck as Spider-Man with Black Cat. Black Cat is gorgeous, but I don't wanna be Spider-Man. Don't get me wrong, he's cool and all, and The Amazing Spider-Man was a phenomenal film; just I don't feel like being him, you know?

I'm not saying I will adopt a hero personality, and get powers and shit. Just he's kinda odd, and I'm not a huge fan of his person and powers enough to have giggle fits and be called "Spidey".
I was Superman for as long as I can remember, but let's face facts; Superman isn't technically a superhero. He's an alien. Just like Iron Man and Batman aren't superheroes (no offense guys). They're heroes. They're really heroic everyday people. Both rich and brilliant, but no super powers.

Don't get me wrong though, hero couples are cool too. Unfortunately I can't find a legitimate female counterpart for Iron Man, as he's either a womanizer or into Pepper Potts (who isn't a hero), and Batman & Catwoman was shot down. *grumble* And let's face it, Lois Lane? Not a hero. And I'm chilling with a young lady who knows a lot about this stuff, and wants to be a hero too. Every girl before was chill with being the Lois Lane to my Superman; it really is time for a change though. Let's face it. You've all heard about my track record.

So I like villains, but somebody else doesn't. Which means if I wanted to be a villain I'd need to be a villain with a hero female counterpart; that's so easy to find. *sigh* But right now I'm not in research mode; I'm in, "Time to go to bed because I work again tonight," mode.
So if anyone knows if Venom has a female hero counterpart (which is unlikely), I'd like to hear it.
Or if Power Girl has a male counterpart that I can't currently find, pipe up?
Or if Vampirella (I like the sound of "eternity." It sounds romantic) has an "immortal" counterpart...
I know Wolverine's immortal, but I sort want someone with their own "logo." And if one side's immortal the other must be too. And I know Wolverine has X-23, and she's hot, but she's sorta like his daughter, in the sense she's a clone of him. And that's just wrong.

Anyway, sleep maybe now?
*fingers crossed*

Let me hear what you've got! :)

Work Shenanigans

Had some fun at work last night. Dave was on a roll. lol

---

Dave comes over and I've got country playing on the radio.

Dave: Oh wow... Great. [mocks square dancing] Now all I need is a cowboy hat.

Me: I own one. :P

Dave: Well then.

Taylor Swift comes on the radio.

Me: [rolls eyes] Not Taylor Swift -

Dave: I love Taylor Swift!

Me: What?! Why?!

Dave: I would jump her bones so fast. I would just make sweet, rip roaring love to her.

Me: Oh, so not a fan of the music. Alright, yeah. She is good looking. I'd get all over that too.

Dave: Yeah, but when I finished she'd dump me and write a song about it.

We both burst out laughing.

---

Dave was digging through a cage of parts. Grabbed a cardboard divider to start a new layer. Cuts his hand on it.

Dave : Son of a...

Me: And that's why we wear gloves.

Dave: Shut up. It's not that bad. It's mostly 'cause I have soft hands. I use that baby soft moisturizer soap stuff. Girls like soft hands.

Me: Not where I come from.

Dave: Alright cowboy.

I smirked.

I had a good night. Dave's the humour that makes work worthwhile.

My Relationship with Netflix

What'm I watching now? Uh, I've been watching stuff here and there, but I never get through them. I'm so exhausted after work, it's just something to keep my - FUCK! I just stood up and spilled my freshly opened beer. *sigh*

K, sorry. Yeah, it's something to keep my mind focused on so I don't over think life while I fall asleep. You know me; that's what I do.
Netflix seems to be the only possible stable relationship I can keep upright and working. *sigh*

I dunno how many of you heard; mom found a puppy on the drive home Friday. That'd make dog number 5 under our roof.
He was a beautiful boxer; mostly white with a brown patch over his left eye and ear, with a block spotted pink nose. (There's pictures online. Check my Twitter; you can also check @KingOTKanines, and that website too.) He was gorgeous, regal, well behaved, and one of the smartest puppies I've met to date.

He had no tags so we didn't know who owned him, who to contact, or his name. I claimed him as my own; my parents said if no one claimed him they couldn't afford him. I said I'd take care of everything. Changed him from blasting through doors and peeing inside, to sit and stay, knowing what outside is, waiting for my permission to enter and exit rooms, and going outside to go to the washroom without barking, but learning how to get attention to go that without being annoying in the space of a night.
I've always had a slight attraction to the boxer breed. I learned more about them in having him (who I'd named Cassius Clay) for a short amount of time. They are an amazing breed. Unfortunately for me, his owners - and their family members - found him online. Mom placed him as a "found dog" on Kijiji. We had some skill testing questions for those who said he was theirs. Of course his family knew all the answers.

They were glad to have him back. They'd worried about him being outside all night. The daughter was very worried for him, and the mother said she didn't sleep. She was nearly in tears in finding him safe, and getting him back.
I was glad to see they love him so much, but I was sad for him to go. We found out his real name is Diesel.

So again, another relationship - that isn't Netflix - starts and ends, so I'm back to Netflix. I'm sure she's happy to have me all to herself.
But things didn't end there by choice; Cassius didn't have a choice of whether to go or stay, and we didn't have a choice of whether to keep him or let him go. He was their's, he is loved, and that is what matters in the end.
So another relationship I - technically - should be able to maintain properly would be my very own dog.

I have to be honest, I did enjoy the immediate companionship. I was happy to have a connection with something.
I'm hoping, once I land my job full-time and finish moving in, I can talk dad into allowing me to have a dog of my own. I feel being able to train a dog from the start will be able to help build my "portfolio" for my new business venture.
In case you were unaware or hadn't heard yet, I'm attempting to start up a job as a "canine educational handler."
The term "trainer" does sound sexy, but it infers that I teach dogs to "sit, stay, lay down, and roll over." That's not what I'm gearing towards. I'm looking to be able to help and teach owners and their dogs to live happily through whatever issues may be on the table, so to speak. Whether it be a peanut butter sandwich, or insecurities. Don't get me wrong, the "sit and stay" stuff if fun and cool, but that's not where I wanna have myself typecast, so to speak. Hence not labeling myself with it and playing with terminology.
"Canine educational handler," comes across professionally, and sounds pretty sexy too. *smirk*

Anyway, back to my subject line.
Yep, I'm watching Netflix still. Not movies currently though, so it's challenging to write up critiques to TV episodes. :S
Right now I'm watching a Netflix series, starring Kevin Spacey. It's called "House of Cards," and it is brilliant. I'm not usually into political dramas, but this one is done surprisingly well. It makes me think that Netflix clearly is doing a great job in what they do, if they have enough money to make their own series starring someone from Hollywood, and having played lead roles in many movies.
Netflix could use a better selection of shows and movies here in grand old Canada, but we are getting along quite well.

Anyway... Time for me to try and get back to sleep. Hope y'all are having a good one, and please be sure to keep in touch however you see fit. :)

Cheers!

Movie Critique - House at the End of the Street

Mmm, a horror movie. I do enjoy a good horror movie.
It keeps your blood pumping and your mind working throughout.
They did a great job putting this one together. But then again, all horror movies usually fall down the same paths. This one does take a different route to get to the same end.

If you're a well versed horror movie watcher, you may be able to figure out the conclusion as it approaches.
I was surprised hold long it took me to figure it out.

The only downfalls would be that it sort of turned into a Saw movie as it started closing down, the gore wasn't majorly gorey as any horror movie watcher wants it - don't get me wrong, there is some gore, but there could've been more. They left to much to my imagination - and the lead female wasn't as attractive as I'd hoped. Don't get me wrong, Elissa (as played by Jennifer Lawrence) is attractive; she proves that jeggings can be gorgeous on a girl who has the right legs for them. But really, at times I found her mother (as played by Elisabeth Shue) more attractive. Her face - to me - seems too round.

If you're in search of a good, scary movie to sit down to for the night, this one could be the right call.

Everyone buckle up!

So I'm on my own once again; have been for a bit.
This means I can now focus on other things. Other things which there are very little of, where I'm at now. Awesome...

This means more time for everyone here! (I can hear the crickets. Y'all are breakin' my heart.)

So WAY back when before I got into Blogspot (previously known as "Blogger") I was on MSN Live. That is what it was called, if I'm not mistaken. It was easier for me to write more often as I always had some school crap to lip about. On TOP of that I was sort of a movie critiquer too.

What I'm getting at here is, rather than just watching movies, upon movies, upon movies; perhaps I should return to those high school, movie critiquing ways. Watch something, and then take a moment to say something about it.

I do apologize for my first attempts, as they will be terrible since it has been a while.
And no, if I fall asleep to a movie I will not write about it. Unless I fell asleep because the movie is boring; that is a different story.

Anyway, wish me luck!
And make sure to make yourself heard! Mentions on Twitter, or comments here are good. If you want me to check something out before you rush off to see it, that can be cool. I can give that a try too!

Anyway... Later!
