Beelzebub, what next?!

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

To quote M.:
Want to join Netflix, but feel left out because the movies have bad language and nudity? Now you don’t have to. It’s like NetFlix — but for Christians!!!

Tired

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

Oh man, I am SOOOOOO freakin’ tired. There’s never anything to DO in this town and then all of a sudden this weekend TONS to do! Air show, car show, psycyhic fair, art festival. Went to some events today, took hundres of pictures, came home, napped, woke up sunburned, went to dinner, home now and so freakin’ tired. Beautiful cool breezy day, never even thought of sunscreen, and man, is my face payin’ for it now!

Funny title

Hahahah! Some Farkers referred to that new Jesus-flick as “The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre“, ahahahah!

UPDATE: And “Jesus Chainsaw Massacre claims its first victim

Question of the day.

Here’s a question for the masses. If an eye doctor puts bright blue dye in your eye, should you see then bright blue snot the next day?

Reliable Press

Thursday, February 26th, 2004

From fark:
“Howard Stern suspended from Clear Channel stations for indecency under new zero tolerance policy”… links to incredibly short and uninformative news article.
But what did Stern DO???

UPDATE:
” Howard Stern returned earlier this week (on KLSX-FM 97.1) from a week off. He was not only hoarse and irritable from a colonoscopy, but determined to ignore his boss’ warnings to avoid questionable language and stunts or face immediate termination. During one rant about the loss of long time cast member “Stuttering” John to Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show” for a $500,000 annual salary, Stern repeatedly uttered expletives, a caller used a derogatory word for African Americans and Stern referred to Leno as a “douche bag.” click for article

Life

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Well, of course stuff is new, but I don’t blog everything. It’s amazing the stuff I *will* blog, but yet some stuff stays offline.

I am on a spritual journey. But I will not blog much about it here, too inflammatory.

Friends hurt me. Other friends aggrevate me. List of friends growing smaller. Some friendships are unhealthy and you just have to move on sometimes.

Thinking alot about my family (siblings).

Wondering why the piano-lesson lady never called me back.

Loving my kitties. Wishing they were not violent toward eachother so that we didn’t have to keep them separated.

Tomorrow M takes my car while the other is in the shop, I don’t want to get up to drive M to work so I’ll sleep then get up and read, I hope. I should just not boot up the computer. I need to clean the house, too.

Isn’t my life interesting?

Slept.
Had lunch w/ M.
Went to wifi cafe to surf and kill time.
Went to eye doctor.
Not a candidate for lasik surgery, pupils too big.
Picked up M.
Sharing a car today.
Went to Philly Cheeeeeeesesteaks, YUM!
Came home, surfed, read.
Mad that I read too many books at once.
Mad that I am net-addicted.
I start to read a book then get up to check ONE thing online and end up online forever, I need help. I am sick.
It’s late, I’m not tired.
Nothing is new.

I’m in a cafe. I smell poo. Fresh poo. I look around. Yup, baby nearby. Nice.

Funny look at real news.

Tuesday, February 24th, 2004

Hahaha, I love the headlines Farkers come up with. Sometimes I just love reading their rewording of the headlines:

["Stupid" tag] – “Never having watched any sci-fi thrillers, NASA officials plan spacewalk that will leave the International Space Station unattended”

hehehehe….

Ear Worms

Tuesday, February 24th, 2004

Yeah, just as I thought. Rocy Horror music has been stuck in my head since Saturday night. Now I am listening to it on mp3 as I sit here surfing. The music just gets under my skin! “His lust is so sincere…”

What 2 blog or not 2 blog

Sunday, February 22nd, 2004

I started this blog using my nickname, looking for anonymity, but knowing that many would read it. I could be candid, but since it was my nickname, that would be ok. But I screwed up and now a few people from RL (“real life”) know of this blog. I don’t care that they read it. The particular people who DO read it, I’m fine if they read it. But I worry that future scew-ups on my part, or archving on the web would allow others to find this and connect it w/ me. I have nothing to hide. It’s just, you know, you whine about a client, then they find your blog and get mad. People have lost jobs over their blogs. The IRS looks for people’s blogs. (true!!!)

Also, because this is a blog that I’d like to keep long-term, I’ve avoided certain topics, such as religion. CLICK BELOW TO READ THE REST…

But Rocky was on!

Sunday, February 22nd, 2004


I’ve had NO energy lately. I ordered some breathwork tapes to help me gain some energy. I was going to put them in tonight (late is better than never) and what do I find? The last, like, SECOND, of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW! I freakin’ LOVE that flick! So I sit thru the end credits to hear the song and when it’s over I yell “play it again!” and BOOM it starts over! Bravo was played it twice in a row, it’s on like 4 times tonight. So, even though I have it on DVD, I couldn’t turn it off. So, the breathing exercises will have to start tomorrow. But day-am, that flick rocks! The music! It’s like a drug- once I hear it I can’t get the music out of my head and I have to play the CD in my car over and over and listen to it on MP3 all day and all night. It’s SO addicting!

Big Guy vs. Little Guy

Saturday, February 21st, 2004

Ok. This kind of thing makes me SO mad! I sometimes wonder if there isn’t some way for me to channel this anger and actually help make a difference in the world, I mean, go work for the ACLU or something and try to help fight these unfair fights.

This guy opens a tiny restaurant in south Florida and names it after his 6 year old son, Nicky. Their last name starts w/ a D, so he names it Nicky D’s.

Well, fucking is suing them! We went there to eat today and the owner was talking about it. Oh, and NO, doesn’t want them to change their name, they want to SHUT THEM DOWN! (This is apprently the latest development.) Their lawsuit claims that the only reason this place made any money at all was because, get this: customers went there, spent money there, and ate there, thinking the whole time that they were at ! That is the fucking stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! But you know that will get away with it, they can afford long drawn-out lawsuits. Nicky D’s would win, but they don’t have the legal fund of , so you know that, as usually happens in this shithole of a country, the little guy, who is right, will lose.

I am not going to eat at so long as they pressure Nicky D’s and/or if they make them change their name or close.

I am going to write a letter and tell them to leave the little guy alone.

I just hope that if Nicky D’s gets shut down or forced to change their name, that the owner doesn’t loose hope and just opens up again w/ a different name, say, Little Nicky’s or Nicky’s Place or whatever. Oh, and for the record, they have the BEST Philly Cheesesteak anywhere!

Sittin’

Thursday, February 19th, 2004

Hello from my local WiFi-equipped coffee shop. I’m going to go see Girl With A Pearl Earring in a bit. Colin Firth, baby! I stopped in the coffee shop for wifi but didn’t want coffee or I’d be in the bathroom three times during the movie. But they had choclate bars much cheaper than the movie theatre, so I got one of those for later. Beautiful day out.

IM Me!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2004

I fixed the “IM Me!” link @ the top of the page. Use that info to Instant-Message me on eithe AIM, MSN, YIM, or ICQ. I use Trillian to connect to all 4 at the same time.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Wednesday, February 18th, 2004

I think this is funny.

I went to the library the other night and found two blogging books. I don’t need a blogging book, but I figured it’d be nice to skim them, so I brought them home.

The one, “Blog On” by T. Stauffer cracked me up. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine book. But the author emphasizes how important content is. “If you don’t have content, nobody comes back.”

So then I go to the blog for the book: www.blogonbook.com and find that the blog has not been updated in 4 months! I figure I’ll leave a “where are you?” comment but when you click on “comment”, you get an error. And there is no email-contact for the guy.

I mean, why is it that those who don’t know, write the book?

Oh man, weird.

Tuesday, February 17th, 2004

I was just thinking, “gee, I think I missed the birthday of this blog.” So I looked at the first page and sure enough, I did. But I’m not surprised. It was January 10th, a very very bad day for me. So, no wonder I missed the birthday of my blog.
Well, Happy Birthday, blog.

err…

Quiznos, Rather Good

Monday, February 16th, 2004

This is a riot!
Thanks to LJC for the links.
Apparently Quiznos subs has quite a sense of humor. They made two commercials (which you can view on their website) w/ characters from RatherGood.com (home of Tales Of The Blode and the band of kittens).
They’re really twisted.
Also, you can bring in ANY coupon for ANYthing and get a dollar off a sub. They have a flash “Coupon Generator” and it’s pretty funny. It always looks like you are going to get a coupon w/ a sexy girl on it, but it never comes up. Really funny!

UPDATE: Oh yeah, the Quiznos commercial is based on the RatherGood video “Moon Song” (or ‘we love the moon!’):

UPDATE: The particular RatherGood movie that the Quiznos commercial is based on is the “Moon Song” one, or ‘we love the moon!” www.rathergood.com/moon_song/

10 things

Monday, February 16th, 2004

Follwing Nala and Matt

10 Random things I did today:
1. Slept too damn late only to be woken up by one of those screaming painful calf cramps.
2. Had obscenely huge breakfast at Bob Evans.
3. Drove around our one-starbucks town- wait, no, it’s a no-starbucks town, we only have the “Barnes and Noble cafe proudly serving starbucks coffee“, NOT to be confused w/ an actual starbucks cafe. Anyway, drove around this one-horse town only to realize there is literally nothing to do.
4. Surfed and blogged while M mowed the lawn.
5. Warwalked near our dinner venue, found about 4 open networks.
6. Went to M’s office after receiving a text message that the link went down.
7. Made fun of man in restaurant. He laughed like a blow-horn and every time he honked, I honked. M got embarassed.
8. Had nice long talk w/ brother on the phone.
9. Tried to think up things to add to my “10 things I did today” list.
10. Realized that today was VERY uneventful.

What???

Sunday, February 15th, 2004

Oh my god!
From slashdot:
“”It’s not only quality hardware and software that can be done in India for a fraction of the cost. BBC reports that India has a generation of world class doctors capable of doing joint replacement, heart, neuro and cancer surgery at their state-of-the-art facilities. Don’t be surprised when your physician prescribes you a trip to Bombay. Indian officials are working hard with HMOs around the world to make this dream come true.”"
Will Dr’s really make make HMO holders fly to India? Will they really take SURGEONS jobs away now, too???

Groovy links

Sunday, February 15th, 2004

Cool links:

SegwayChat.com – A great site for Segway enthusiasts and owners. Lots of articles, links, and a very active message board.

Rad2Go.com – A neat site that sells various electric scooters and such. They have a 2-wheeled scooter (well, it looks 2-wheeled but it’s not) that is similar to the segway, they have a 3-wheeled scooter that is like a mini-ATV. Check it out.

Segway Naysayers

Sunday, February 15th, 2004

Ok. Yesterday was UBER FUN! We went to Florida Everglides and first they show you a video and then you spend half an hour learning how to use the Segway. Then you go on a two-hour tour of the historic district of Sarasota. It was great. Almost everybody stops and looks and makes a big deal.

But… of course… this is reality… so there has to be a few jerks.

Bluetooth Multiple Files?

Sunday, February 15th, 2004

I can’t figure out how to move multiple files at once off my Clie. I have to move images one at a time which is very time-consuming. Can’t find anything in the manual, and nothing online except a mention of needing to use third-party software, but I can’t find anything that says it’ll do it. Hmm.

Happy Segway Day!

Saturday, February 14th, 2004

Today we went on a Segway tour of Sarasota:

No Season 6 – Angel is canceled !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll stick w/ AT&T.

Friday, February 13th, 2004

OMG, I guess I’ll never switch to Sprint! Sprint throttles their customers, won’t let their paying customers send camera phone pix wherever they want! Jerks! AT&T drives me nuts that there is no unlimited data plan, but at least I have freedom!
