I’m not sure how many people actually take a vacation and plan to exercise on it. I did find it interesting that at our hotel in Daytona Beach they did provide an exercise room. It wasn’t anything too fancy, but it did have a workout machine that you could do about 100 things on, a rowing machine, a stair climber and a treadmill. We did take the time to go check it out and we did play on some of the equipment they had. I know my nephew is going to be starting on the varsity football team next year and he wanted to work out while we were on vacation. So I guess some people do have an interest in staying fit while they are relaxing on a beach that borders the ocean. You can get a lot of walking exercise by walking the beach, swimming or just walking up and down the strip checking out all of the shops along the way. There are a lot of hotels and motels these days that offer an exercise room for their guests. Exercise equipment is not the cheapest thing in the world, so I’m sure the hotels would not be offering it, if no one had an interest in it. It just caught me by surprise when I seen the workout equipment that we had the luxury of using if we chose to. I’m not really in the exercising mood these days, so I stayed on the beach more than I did on the treadmill or the other workout machines. So if you’re someone that wants to stay in shape on vacation, you won’t have a hard time finding a place that offers an exercise room.

What is the best concert you have ever attended? I have only been to about 4 or 5 conerts in my life, so not a lot to choose from. I went to see Metallica and Guns N Roses about 18 years ago in South Carolina. The concert was in the same stadium that the South Carolina Gamecocks played football in. That was a great concert and probably the best talent I have seen on stage at one time, but I did get a bad sunburn from that trip and not sure I would say it was my favorite. Tesla was another concert I went to and I really enjoyed it. I remember going to that concert on a school night and didn’t get home until 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning. Going to a concert on a school night was pretty fun and it seem like you was doing something that you wasn’t suppose to be doing. I guess if I ever have kids, I will have to go back and delete this blog post, so they won’t get any ideas about wanting to go to a concert on a school night. I think Tesla would be the best concert I have ever went to and enjoyed the experience and the songs that were played. I have also seen Melissa Etheridge in concert and I won those tickets playing trivia at Hooters. So her show was free to see. I have also went to a Def Leppard concert and these were the best seats I ever had. I showed up at Turtles about 2 hours before they were to go on sale. I was 6th in line at the time, but they brung numbers out and we had to draw and I got a really high number. Luckily one of the people I was talking to got number 1 in the drawing, so she got to buy her tickets first. I gave her the money and she bought me 2 tickets as soon as they went on sale that morning. I ended up with 2nd row seats and was right there at the band. So those are a few of my best concert memories. Please be sure to share your favorite concert story or the best band or person you have seen on stage or just let me know what is the best seats you ever got for a concert.

In about 100 days from now we will see kids and adults both searching for their October 31st wardrobes. Yes, it will be Halloween before we know it and everyone from young to old will be shopping for their halloween costumes. I like the Halloween time of the year and it’s a good time to watch all of the scary movies that come on television. I might just have to pick me up a costume this year and I was noticing all of the great costumes that Halloween Adventure offers.
I am a bit picky on which costume I would pick up for my self. I did find a few that I liked and now the hard part would be just deciding on one to get. I think I will go with one that fits my lifestyle the best. I love to stay up late at night and I spend more time sleeping during the daylight hours than I do the night time hours. So I am more like a vampire and I do tend to eat a lot at night too, so the big fangs would fit in perfect. Halloween Adventure has a very nice costume called the Count of Transilvania and this might just be the costume I get for this Halloween. I believe it would suit me very well and most of my friends would agree that this type of costume would fit my daily personality.
Now I have a close friend of mine and she is already talking about her Halloween costume for this year too. She says that she would like the vampire teeth to go with her costume and she even talked about adding in the yellow contact lenses to her eyes with a cat-linear ward. If you ever seen my friend before, you know that she would have a hard time pulling off anything scary. She is far from that naturally and I think she would be so much better off with one of the Sexy Costumes.

Yes, I think she would look much better in this Halloween costume. This is called the Hospital Honey Adult Sexy Nurse and this looks like something that would fit her better. I’m not sure how close I could talk her into wearing something like this for Halloween, but if she was willing to wear this one, I would certainly be feeling under the weather when October 31st rolled around, so she could take care of me in her nurse’s uniform.

Well I went to shoot in my pool league last night. While I was sitting there and watching my teammates play in their games, a lovely lady that was tall and had long blonde hair came over to me and asked if I smoked. I figured she needed a cigarette or a light from me, but it turns out she was a representative of a tobacco company. She asked if I was over 21 years old and for me to get my drivers license out. She had a little laptop computer looking thing she was carrying around with her and it made a copy of my drivers license and I also had to sign the monitor that was on the screen. In my efforts for doing this I received coupons to get a new type of cigarette their company has recently came out with, I also got a coupon that gives me 4 free cans of snuff and another coupon that is a buy one get one free for a can of snuff. I also was given a roll of snuff that has 5 full sized cans in it and got all of this by just letting them make a copy of my driver’s license. I don’t dip snuff, but I have several friends that do and I should be able to make a couple of them very happy. Tobacco products are very expensive these days and with gas prices continuing to go up, this will only cause the price to go up more. I can remember when a pack of cigarettes or a can of snuff was like 99 cents. It now cost about $3.50 to buy one of these products now. If you are someone that uses a tobacco product, you might want to keep your eyes out for the women coming around to the pool halls and bars giving away this merchandise. It’s a good way for them to promote their new products and it’s a good way for us to get some free stuff. If you want to quit smoking or stop dipping snuff, now would be a good time to do that, as the prices continue to go up on all tobacco products.
