Hello. My headphones for my Walkman broke. To replace them I used the headphones that came with the unit and, yuk, they’re just awful. You can barely hear anything. Nothing’s for free and you get what you pay for. Am I right people?


I’d like to take some time to respond to a question that Diane, put on my message board yesterday. She wanted to know the details on my diet. Well, I was supposed to back on it by now and to some extent, I am. Is that double talk or what? Breakfast, lunch and dinner, I’m fine but when I get home my damn sweet tooth kicks in and thus far, has been winning. I’m not giving up; I just have to get my body and, more importantly, my mind used to the new routine. You know what, I’m going to start today. And summer is here as well, there’s no excuse to get out there and walk. Thanks for your question Diane. I finally put my air conditioning in my window this past weekend. I’m glad I did, it’s so sticky out. You ever stop and think about just how time is flying by? I’ve been out of college for 6 years and have worked at the Late Show for almost as long. It seems like yesterday. Crazy world. I walked to the bus stop this morning, it was hot and humid. Got on the bus and the air conditioning was kicking full blast! It was still on at the Port Authority – heaven on earth. It’s the little things.

Have a great freaking day!

I’m an honest guy, so I’m going to come right out with it, I’ve got nothing today. How about this weather! If I hear one more time that “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity” I’m going to freak! A cashier said that to a guy in front of me the other day. She told it to him like it was some kind of secret! My credit card and my bank share the same name. So what I thought was my bank statement — turned out to be my credit card bill. And I missed the due date by a week! I’m always so on top of that stuff. I let myself down.


Eric and Justin – my bosses, and myself agree that the weekend seemed to last forever — in a good way. I’m thinking about staying up till 4 am every Friday night. So I can make my weekend last and last. I am seriously thinking about buying a newer car next month. I feel like my car‘s best days are behind and a major repair is right on the horizon. That car has been good to me. It drove me to college, for many, many years. It brought me to New Jersey…blah blah blah. Screw it, the car has no A/C and Bobby needs to be comfortable! I hate doing the payment thing but it’s time to wake up and be in debt like the rest of America. Am I right? Hello? Call me crazy, but I like soap. I bought some new soap a few weeks back. I got a bar by Yardley and one by Oil of Olay. It was nice stuff but I never really felt clean. It just felt like it was floating off my skin without cleaning anything. I picked up some Dial and Lever 2000 and I can feel the difference. Right now I’m using the Lever 2000, Pure Rain, it’s delightful. Pure Rain reminds me of Purple Rain and that reminds me of Prince who freaking rocks!

What up, Prince? OK, that’s it, have a great day. Tell a friend about BobBorden.com!

Friday night I went to a bachelor party. It was for my boss, Justin. It was in Atlantic City. Now, here’s the hard part, trying to tell you what happened while maintaining the family values of this site. There were two girls brought in to help celebrate. These girls did things, to each other – Strange, mysterious things. That’s probably all I can say about that. I had a great, great time. Women and gambling, it was a magical night.


After “the show,” I started off on roulette; I walked away from that table up about $185. And went straight to the blackjack table and lost. I probably only lost $50/$70 but again, it was worth it. I played one thing or another up until 4 am. We met up with the rest of our party at the hotel bar, the Dizzy Dolphin. And the bartender recognized me! He watches theLate Show and remembered me. I was touched and shocked, I haven’t been on since November. I didn’t get his name but big ups to the bartender at the Dizzy Dolphin! Congratulations to Justin and thanks for a great night! Special thanks to my other boss and Justin’s brother, Eric; he organized the show. And to their dad, John, he set us up with a kick butt buffet, not to mention dinner but I missed that because I was on the road.

Saturday was an odd day. I got back from AC and ended up on the Internet. I talked to this girl for about an hour. We started talking about relationships and all that crap. The conversation ended on a very positive note and I went to get dinner in a great, great mood. On my way, I ran into this girl I’ve been talking to on the bus for the past two years. She went to the same college as I did. It was one of those deals where we’d see each other at the bus stop and then wouldn’t see each other for months. We ended up having dinner. It was really nice. I made the joke that it’s Saturday night and I’m having dinner with a woman, we laughed and laughed. After we said good-bye, I walked up to the store and ran into my friend, Tiffany; she was having dinner with her friend, Liz. It was a fun, interesting night. Sunday, laundry, A & P and I cleaned my apartment. It was a really good weekend.

OK, that’s it for today, have a good one.

I’m going to take my personal ad down today. I’m just going to start going out more or something. I had two things against me going into this experiment: 1. The first thing you see when you come to this site is my spinning head. My dream was to have my head spin around, it’s funny and it still puts a smile on my face. However, I think it may send the ladies running to the hills. The second thing against me is, maybe I went too public and the ladies thought it was a joke. Ladies, know this, when it comes to affairs of the heart, Bobby don’t kid.

That new Radiohead CD is just all over the place. I like some songs a lot. However, most, I could care less about. I do give them credit for trying new things. When I was back in Ohio last week my nephews were playing cowboys and indians. Except there were no cowboys, so it was just indians. Anyway, I joined in the fun:

That’s Jacob on the left, Lucas and myself. That’s my brother’s high school graduation picture on the left. I love those kids! I made my own ax. You can’t see it but there’s a flashlight on my ax. I used it as a lazer. I added a whole new level to the Indian game. OK, that’s it for today and this week. Tune in next week to find out…

Did Bob meet a woman?

What did Bob do on Friday night?

Who is Bob?

The conversion rate of US currency into the Japanese Yen.

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

OK, I did put up a personal ad yesterday. It follows:


Hi. My name is Bob. I have a website, BobBorden.com. Basically, I have my whole life up there. I update it everyday with a section called Bob’s Diary. I’m a nice guy but don’t know where to meet a nice lady in Hoboken. So, I thought it would be a great idea to place an ad and write about it on my site. I will let you write about your experience on our date. Nothing will be edited, if you have a great time, write about it, if you have a bad time, write about it. I’m a good guy with a lot of interests. I’m 31, 6’1″, with a great sense of humor. I love music and films. What’s the worst that could happen, you make a new friend in Hoboken. Checkout my website, think about it and drop me a line – please include a photo, I’d hate to be scammed by some punk kid. Have a great day.

OK. It’s been up for almost a day and here are all the responses:

Nothing, zip, zero. I’m not bummed out yet, again, only a day has passed. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea? I just thought it would be something different/fun. I am serious about meeting someone. I don’t know. I did receive one response. A girl,Cindi, wrote to me but it’s such an obvious scam, it’s not even funny. Nice try, dude. I’ll keep you updated. I traded in some CDs last night and bought some new ones. I picked up the newRadiohead CD and the Plant/Page UnleddedCD. I’m going to listen to those today. I also bought something blind, meaning I know nothing about this band – The Hellacopters. I’m listening to that CD right now. Wow, so far, so good. It’s rockin’. I think I got lucky. Usually when you go in blind, you get screwed. OK, I’ve got nothing else today. My message board seems to have a lot of action these days. Thank you. I just looked at this CD again and they have a song called Welcome to Hell and another called Paul Stanley! I just noticed that. I have a new favorite band! You should check out their site. OK, have a great one.

KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!
