Now for something today that was completely random. I was cleaning out one of my junk drawers today and came across two very interesting things, my speech for my best friend’s wedding and a deck of cards with dares on them made for bachelor parties or just a random night of fun with the guys at a bar or club. So I figured as a service to any best men out there, since it is coming upon wedding season, I would share my speech with all of you and as a bonus I will pick one random card every blog post and share what the card says to do. So without further ado I give you my best man speech in its entirety. (Clears throat)
“Good Evening.
Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who don’t know me my name is Dave Wouldyoulikeadrink. Please feel free to say hello and call me by my full name later on.
Let me start out by saying that Mandy and I don’t know each other very well. However, in the time that I have spent with her I quickly understand why Eric has asked her to be his wife. Along with Mandy’s beautiful looks comes a truly genuine person with a big heart, gentle soul, and a great sense of humor, and I know that everyone here will agree when I say that Mandy, you look very beautiful today.
Now what can I say about Eric? Well he is witty, funny, handsome, strong, and … and … uh … (look at Eric the groom) Eric, what’s this word say? Sorry man I can’t read your writing!
I know the duties of the best man are not to be taken lightly, and I’m sure you’ll all agree that my first duty getting Eric to the church, sober on time and eventually married was a complete success.
On a serious note, not only is he my best friend, but I love Eric Lazlo-Jacque Szijj as if he were my brother. Eric has been my closest friend for years now. Level- headed, bright, and with a genuine love for life, Eric is truly an inspiration. From his contagious laugh to his drunk-looking smirk he gets when something amuses him, he is always uplifting.
Since that faithful day when Eric met Mandy, we have all seen some changes in him. Eric seems to be the happiest I’ve seen him and I know that the only thing that could make him happier is to have a lifelong marriage to his new bride, celebrating the triumphs and tribulations with someone he holds so dear in his heart.
I just want to say that Eric, you really are the best man here today and I want to tell you that you have always been like a brother to me. You truly are one of the best friends a man could have.
Now I may not be the oldest, and I’m defiantly not the wisest here, but I have learned this: friends this good are truly hard to come by and I could ask for nothing more than Eric willingly provides
Would everyone please raise your glasses?
Here’s to love. To those who seek it, may they find it. To those who’ve found it, may it be everlasting.
Cheers!”
Touching ain’t it. So to all you best men out there trying to figure out a speech feel free to borrow that one and use it however you want.
Now as promised here is tonight’s random Bachelor Dare card: “Take a shot from a pretty mama’s cleavage. (Be sure to ask first)”
Wow that’s an interesting one I hope it’s not too R-Rated I am hoping to go for a little more PG-13 but if anyone doesn’t like it let me know and I’ll stop, but if everyone is ok with it I’ll go on until I finish the deck, which will be much more fun.

The craptastic school network/ about me
So I was at school today and had some extra time so I figured what the heck I’ll go online. That didn’t work out so well. Once I get past the home page I went to Yahoo and saw a cool news story, so I figured I’d click on it and read it. Guess again! I click on the link and it says Access Denied by the Network Administrator. So let me get this straight I can’t access a news story because it takes me the dreaded Yahoo Games? What the fork man! Then as I’m reading my e-mail instead of advertisements about different Yahoo services I see says Access Denied by the Network Administrator all along the sides and top of the page. What the hell is the purpose of this? Oh and in the past I’ve noticed that I can’t access My Space but I can access Facebook. Why the hell would they deny access to My Space?
Although the one website that I was denied access to that really ticked me off was when I tried to access the Wizards of the Coast site while on my own personal laptop. Now I could understand if this was just on computers in the classroom or in the library that are owned by the school, but the computers in the lunch room? These are computers that are there for fun. Is it really that hard for people whose job it is to run the school’s network to only restrict certain computers access to sites? All’s they would have to do is tell the network to deny access to whatever sites they wanted for only those MAC addresses of the computers in the classrooms, library, and labs.
Anyhow now that I’ve gotten that off my chest I thought about it and well sure some of the people reading my blog may know me but there could be some of you who may not so I’ll tell a little about myself. I am thirty years old and a college student learning to be a web designer, so that one day I could go anywhere I wanted to and not have to worry about my job because I’d take my job with me. I’m originally from North-Eastern Ohio. I grew up in a small suburb of Youngstown called Austintown. Then after not doing so well on my own I moved in with my family in Stow, Ohio at the age of twenty-two. After living there for a year my mother and stepfather decided to move down to Florida. Unfortunately I had no real choice in the matter and had to go with them. So at age 24 I was picking up everything and moving to Florida leaving behind all my friends. When I got down to Florida after waiting almost a year for our new house to be built I got a job at old reliable, McDonald’s, I worked there for a good couple of years until I saved enough money to move back to Ohio. I lived with my best friend and his fiancé for a few months until a saved enough money to get my own apartment. However my time in Ohio was shorter than I planned. After about eight months of trying to make it on my own I decided I couldn’t do it so I moved back to Florida and now here I am today. I’ve made many friends down here in Florida and try to keep in contact with my friends in Ohio as well.
Oh well I could go into more detail I’ve bored you all enough for now. Maybe in the future I’ll talk about my time being a roadie for my best friend’s band One Breath or my time as a convenience store clerk, let’s just say Kevin Smith wasn’t far off with the movie clerks.
Well anyway this has been another set of random thoughts from me, Spence.
