Dave Chappelle at the Tabernacle

Tonight I went to see Dave Chappelle at the Tabernacle with my friend Steve and cousin Paul. It was a pretty good show and Chappelle is frickin' hilarious. The show was suppose to start at 7pm but he did not get on stage until around 8pm and was on for about an hour and a fifteen minutes. He made some funny racial jokes and some references to Vick and dogfighting. His last bit about reality versus perception was pretty good and funny, but was a bit long. Overall, it was a great show and I am just glad I was able to see Dave Chappelle in person. Well worth the money to see him in a live show. I could not take any pictures with my phone since we had to have them turned off during the show, so I cannot show where we were sitting, but they were pretty good seats and we could see Chappelle pretty good. I had a great time and hope to catch another one of his shows in the future. This was also my first live comedy show and hope to see many more, probably Russell Peters at the end of September. Well just wanted to brag about seeing Dave Chappelle.

Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria

Today was one of my co-worker's birthday, so we decided to throw in a surprise birthday party. They elected me to go pick up the pizza and cake for the party. So I took an early lunch to go take Tanner out and then headed to pick up the cake and pizza. Went by Publix and got a Chocolate Cake with Fudge icing. Right next to the Publix on Jiles Road off the Wade Green exit, was Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria, where we had ordered the pizza. This was no ordinary pizza. The co-workers had ordered a 30" pizza with ground beef topping. The first thing the waiter asked me when I went to pick it up was "how big is your car?". The pizza could barely fit into my trunk. Surprisingly, we finished the whole pizza, but it took a bunch of us to devour it all. Below is the pic of the monster:

Tanner Meets Taz

This weekend I brought Tanner up to Dalton to meet Taz for the first time. Tanner was a little shy at first, but once he got comfortable he began trying to play with Taz. He started barking at Taz and jumped on him, but once Taz stood up, Tanner quiet down and backed off. Taz put Tanner in his place a couple of time by knocking him down with his head. By the end of the weekend though, they were good buddies.

Also, Tanner had his first taste of the swimming pool. But it was not what he expected. He fell into the pool while the kids were playing with him and he sunk straight to the bottom like a rock. Luckily, Wah was there to pick him up out of the pool. I'm going to have to teach Tanner how to swim.

Check out the pics we took this weekend of Tanner and Taz. Taz was easy to get to pose for pictures, but we had a little trouble getting Tanner to stand still.

Rush Hour 3 - A+




While in Dalton this weekend, we went and watched Rush Hour 3. It was hilarious and the action scenes were awesome. Chris Tucker is just too damn funny and Jackie Chan is still amazing with his ninja stunts. I highly recommend everyone to see this movie, well worth the money. Also, I did not know Allen was going to be in the movie? (hint: scene where they fight the giant chinese guy).

Tanner - 9 Weeks Old

Tanner had an appointment today with the Vet to get his second set of shots. He received two booster shots (for Corona Virus and Distemper Parvo) and a new shot for Giardia. He weighed in at 7.8 lbs, which means he gained 3.7 lbs since his last visit. He behaved very well at the Vet, but did scream when he received his shots. He tested negative for Roundworms, but they gave me another dewormer medicine just to make sure. Joanne had gone over during lunch to feed him and she said that he is doing fine and no negative reactions to the shots. He is scheduled to go back to the Vet in 3 weeks. I just wanted to give you guys an update on Tanner since I have not wrote about him in a while.

**I will post some updated pics of him tonight**

Breaking News: #52 Dislocates Shoulder



Dalton (GA) Catamount LB Paul "Mad Cow" Wong (#52) was injured on a practice play this morning during training camp in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Wong was transported to the nearby hospital in Shelby, TN where X-rays reveal a dislocated shoulder. The injury will likely end the Sophomore's 2007 season before it even begins. Wong will rehab the shoulder and continue to practice with the team. Wong was a starter on the Junior Varsity team and was going to see some playing time with the Varsity team before the injury occurred.







Here is a picture of his X-ray:

Artuzzi's Italian Kitchen

Today I went down to Atlanta to finish fixing Simon's computer. After Steve and I had gone to Ginstar to get the parts, we decided to get something to eat. I had a craving for pasta, so we decided to eat at Artuzzi's Italian Kitchen over on Briarcliff Road by Steve's apartment. The place was very nice and cool atmosphere when we walked in. My order was the Baked Classic Meat Lasagna, side Caesar Salad, and a Coke. The food was really good, but the portion was very small for the price. It reminded me of a high class Fazoli's. The food was great, but way over priced. I prefer Fazoli's because you can get the same quality food for cheaper, plus the unlimited bread.

Dreamland BBQ

Well this past weekend, Steve and I had the whole day to kill before David and Steph's wedding. So for lunch, we decided to go eat at Dreamland BBQ. I have been wanted to go back to eat at Dreamland since I ate at the one in Roswell, GA. Man it was very good! I had a half rack of BBQ ribs, corn on a cob, and a Budweiser. I would definitely recommend Dreamland to anyone who visits Alabama. They sure make good BBQ.
