Testing, 1, 2, CSS?

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

Well, I got the CSS set up to what I want…I think….I know I’ll end up changing it within a week, but oh well. I started working on my Contact and Funny sections. They are still pretty much in the infancy stages, but they are coming along and should have them finished by tonight. Next will be the Bio and Site Information and by the end of this weekend, I should have the Beliefs section up. Fun stuff!

Don’t adjust your screens.

Don’t adjust your computer screen

If you see things changing while you are here at the site or if it looks like total shit, it’s probably me sitting here trying to fool around with things and giving them a test =) Hang with me here.

Awesome weekend =)

What a weekend…

I don’t think words can describe the weekend I just had. Really. It was easily one of the best weekends my memory can come up with. Jessica (my girlfriend of the past 2 1/2 years) had been taking a break for a month or so. We thought it would be a good idea to spend some time together this weekend, so she picked me up on her way home and let me tell you it was AMAZING! It felt just so perfect to be with her and do things with her again. It just really feels wonderful to be loved so much by somebody…

The World Series ended last night with a game 7 victory by the Anaheim Angels. Yeah, who the hell picked them to win it all? I saw them being a team that would finish 2nd for the Wild Card this year, but I never thought they would win it all. But needless to say, they damn well earned it. I’ve never seen a team stay as hot as they did for a whole month and that includes the 20 game win streak Athletics from this year. Anaheim beat the “dynasty” of our generation, then a team that was a complete duplicate of themselves, and then a team with the most underrated pitching staffs in the game. Who more could they have beaten to prove themselves? They truely were a fun team to watch. They had some amazing years by their rookies though, so in all honesty, I doubt they will be able to repeat their success again next year if history tells us anything. All you have to do is take a look at my Mariners. The 2001 Mariners had a team full of players having career years and then 2002 they have a damn solid team that wins 93 games, but missed the playoffs. 93 games gets you in the playoffs any other year but 2002. What a funny game baseball is….

Let me give a little word of advice to anybody out there that is thinking of starting their own web-site. The weeks before and of mid-terms are not the best time to open it up. The last 3 weeks have been a major Bitch for me, so as you can see, not a damn thing has changed on this site. But FINALLY, I’ve been able to get through it all and I have plenty of free time on my hand for another few weeks until finals, and then I’m free for a few months! =) I’m gonna be updating this site muchisimo this week, so be sure to check it out. Aight, it’s time for an hour or so of video games and then bed.

Beer Inning

Thursday, October 24th, 2002

Rule #12. Teeth are good for one thing. Chewing food and only food.

A woman was recently arrested for biting her husband over 20 times since he wouldn’t have sex with her, which resulted in his death. Gee, I wonder why he refused! Aside from the fact that he was practically already on life support and only a good scare away from Death himself, it’s pretty clear why he refused. We can only imagine what else she gnawed on during sex. Teeth + sex = no more sex.

Well, today I got not a damn thing done. Ah wait wait, I take that back. I downloaded a CLASSIC episode of The Simpsons. It’s the one where Mr. Burns hires all the Major League Baseball players for his softball team.

Ref: “Let’s go over the ground rules. You can’t leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of every odd numbered innings. Oh and 4th inning is the beer inning.”
Chief Wiggum: “HEY! We know how to play softball!”

HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh….Simpsons…..easily the best show of our generation. Well I am off to bed. It’s only 4 AM, so I’m actually getting to bed a little early tonight. I’m gonna be busy all day tomorrow studying for my last exam and then Friday I’m going home to spend some time with Jess =) But I’ll be sure to post some time over the weekend. And hopefully by next weekend I’ll have those links over there working. I will leave you all with yet another great Simpsons quote.

Bart: “Wow. How many homeruns are you gonna hit?”
Homer: “Let’s see. We play 30 games. 10 at bats a game…..3,000!”

Hell week is almost over

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002

Damn I feel good right now. When I walked out of my class at 4:45 today, I looked around and realized that I only had one damn exam left this week and that one isn’t until Friday, so I won’t start working on that until tomorrow. So tonight, I get to sit back and finally relax and DAMN that felt good. I might even have some time tonight to actually update some of those links over there =) I went food shopping today too, so I finally have some fucking food. I am at the moment eating chips & salsa, a bowl of cereal, and an apple…I always buy food and then eat it real quick. Oh well. I might as well enjoy it while I have it! Well I am off to watch the World Series and do a shit load of nothing…I’ve earned it.

Bush Wants War

Friday, October 18th, 2002

*start rant*

Well, earlier this week Congress voted to give President Bush the power to stop a dangerous dictator bent on acquiring nuclear weapons.

….no, not him. They’ve already gone Nuclear.

No, he’s our “friend”….For now..

Oh we have no clue what this guy is up to!

YES! There we go! As you know, the Bush administration has signed into law a resolution, calling for unilateral military action against Iraq due in particular to that nation’s efforts to acquire nuculear, or “nuke-u-lar” as President Bush prefers to say, weapons.

“The United States will not permit the world’s most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world’s most detructive weapons.” President Bush - State of the Union Address - January 29 2002

Excellent! Tought, Firm, and Strong! So when North Korea startled the world yesterday with its claim that they have been covertly developing nuclear weapons for several years and actually might have some weapons already developed, well….you can imagine the administration’s swift and firm response! And the toughtest words came from President Bush’s….mid-level spokesman.

“The United States and our allies call for North Korea to comply with its commitments under the nonproliferation treaty and to eliminate its nuclear weapons program in a verifiable manner.”

BOO YA!!! TAKE THAT!!! IN YOUR FACE NORTH KOREA!!!!

Come on, that’s it?! Where’s the war cry?! Where’s the military action?! Where’s the coalition?! Where’s the invasion!?

Ok, ok, I’m sure there are some differences between Iraq and North Korea. Of course, they both are highly unstable, militarized regimes that threaten their neighbors and stockpile chemical and biological weapon while terrorizing and starving their own people and at the same time trying to develope nucular weapons. However, like I said, there are very huge differences between to two countries and their leaders….um……ok, Sadam has a mustache! SEE! That explains why two countries can do the exact same thing and President Bush sees fit to invade one and ignore the other. Ahhh, but I forgot, this is a war on terrorism, not just Iraq. That’s why we are mainly going after Al Quida and Bin Ladin now. Oh wait, we aren’t? Why not? Let’s allow President Bush to clear this up for us.

“So uh, uh, it’s a comparision that’s, uh, I, I can’t make because, I, I can’t distingiush between the two becasue they are both equally as bad, and equally as evil, and equally as destructive.” Well, I couldn’t have said it better. Oh wait, there’s more? Good good…

“You can’t distinguish between AL Quida and Sadam when you talk about terror.”

You can’t? Ok, let me give this a shot here. Al Quida is an ideologically driven, underground ultra Islamic terrorist network. And Sadam Hussien is the dictator of a secular middle-eastern nation that seeks mild regional dominance. I DID IT! YES!!!!! HE SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE! Wow, it’s almost a shame we are going to war anyway….

*/end rant*

Fall Break is over.

Thursday, October 17th, 2002

Well, Fall Break has come and gone and now Hell Week has officially begun. Starting tomorrow, I have 5 exams, 2 essays, and 2 projects due within the next week. Sounds like fun, eh?! I was in the library for a good 4 hours today just typing up one of the essays due tomorrow. You can always tell when mid terms and exams are because the library i spacked with people trying to study / cram. School sucks =)

My Fall Break was pretty good overall. We played football again on Monday and had about a 7 on 7 game, which was pretty good. I didn’t do nearly enough of my homework, but I got to spend some good ole’ quality time with the younger siblings which is always fun. We go the old SNES working and we found some old sports games from the early 90’s….wow, I can’t believe how far video games have come since then. We’ve gone from football games where there was only 10 plays you could call to games where you can pick the nose hair from your coach if you want to. Oh well, it was a fun few days to relax before all this damn work.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!

Saturday, October 12th, 2002

Haha, an old friend of mine used to scream that every time we played football using his “announcer” voice. Good times. I’m home for Fall Break now and it’s pretty nice to be here. I get to see the whole family and that’s always nice. We had a “huge” football game planned for today but when we got out there, everybody but 6 of us had pussed out and didn’t show. Hell, we didn’t need them. It was easily the best 3 on 3 game I’ve ever played and this was with 2 of the people being my little brothers. Actually, Tommy held his own since he is already 215 pounds and 6 feet, 3 inches tall….did I mention HE IS IN THE 8TH GRADE!!!! Yeah, I call him an orge. I am fucking dreading the day that he can kick my ass because I know it is coming soon. Clay (my other bro) came out with us and while he may be small, he was the perfect weapon =) Nobody saw him coming.

I should be doing my homework now. In the span of 8 days, I have 5 mid-terms, 2 essays, and a group project due and let’s all guess how much I have done….that’s right junior, not a damn thing. I have however mastered the art of stuffing 25 grapes in my mouth…ahh, if only I could get graded on the useless things that I know how to do. I’m still holding strong though. I swear, they will one day save my life. You heard it here first folks.

Well, this Philosophy paper is screaming my name. Actually, it’s screaming at me since the only thing I have ON IT is my name. Say a prayer for me folks, I’m gonna need it…

Who would have guessed?

Wednesday, October 9th, 2002

So, here I am eating my daily sandwich, looking through ESPN when it finally hits me. The Minnesota Twins and Anaheim Angels are battling it out for the American League spot in the World Series. Think about that. Quick, name one player on the Angels. You can’t, can you? Name the manager of the Twins. Yep, didn’t think so. And it’s not just your everyday fan who doesn’t know these things, most “baseball fans” have no clue. And while I did pick the Twins to win their division and Anaheim to be the “Surprise Team” this year, I never imagined them in the ALCS. But damn, these two teams are a fucking blast to watch. They both know that their teams are full of players going through career years and that next year they won’t be as lucky, so they are playing as if their lives depended on it. It has been some years since I have seen such intensity and pure feeling being played out on the field and dear lord it is fun to watch.

And did anybody else notice that all 4 of the teams with homefield advantage lost? Guess it shows that homefield guarntees you two things. Jack and Shit.

Post…Baleted!

Tuesday, October 8th, 2002

Arg, I just typed up a pretty long post and GreyMatter deleted it……I gotta run to class though, so I’ll re-type it later on tonight. Hope everybody is having a great day!
