Described by UF as Eating Jello with a chainsaw, interesting but painful. You know I do game with the geeks on occasion and I would have to say that this is probably an accurate assessment of the situation.

So the beautiful young maiden out of spiderman both one and two, Kirsten Dunce has done a a few things before such a huge hit as spiderman, but this is something I didn't really expect

my parents floated me 1000.00 for the sale of the car, the repair bill was 425.00 I am selling the car tomorrow morning for 1500.00.

1500.00

damn I should never be a car salesman.

Somebody called this morning asking about the ad I had put into the paper about the car and wanted to know if I could bring it to a gas station in STL so they could have a friend look at it. The car has been in desoto since it left Rolla. So I agreed and I drove it the 60 miles from Desoto to the gas station at the usual 65-80 mph. I got to the gas station with no problems at all no indication of any foul play on the cars part at all, i back it out of the place i had parked it and was driving it at <5 mph around the parking lot when the ball joint in the driver side front axle came into two parts.... and the front end of the car collapsed and sat down on the tire. If this had happened only 15 min before when i was going at highway speed I would have rolled that car and probably died in the accident. And the guy is still interested when i get it fixed because it didn't do an extra damage to the car just needs a new ball joint.

Update: It is costing 425.00 to get a new axle put into the bloody thing.

Wow for once one of the people from my history came back suddenly and it WASN'T someone that had a grudge, or had harsh opinions of me. Amanda left Rolla a few years ago to go to University of Texas and I hadn't really heard from her since. I was back in Rolla for a single night and it happened that as I was going to the Grotto that night she was coming back from it. And surprisingly enough she recognized me from when I still had short hair and just a mustache to the way I look now. She was happy to see me and i was definitely happy to see her and I also found out that she is living up here in Westport. It's nice to have the past come back and present you with something nice for a change.

So when I left STL yesterday I had a bottle of Crown Royal that only had what normal would consider two glasses out of it. Then Myself and Dave started to drink first from the bottle(we were bing lazy) and then got glasses with ice and drink from those. Now it is sad to say that there is about 1/4 of the bottle left and I know I drank at least 2:1 against Dave so yesterday afternoon/evening felt very good, and now this morning I wake up and......NO HANGOVER my bottle of Crown really does love and doesn't hurt me YAY. But alas, there is so little left now, I suppose I may have to purchase another bottle soon enough when this one goes the way of the empties. Thanks again Dave for picking that bottle up for me for the 4th :)

I define this word. I wired up a new light fixture for the kitchen because the ballast in the old CF light burnt out. So I put a regular light in the new fixture as that is what it takes. And there was not light..... I had Hippy come over and test the wires and it was found they are live and putting out plenty of volts. We then tested the fixture and found that all was right with it. So I put it back up there and then tested the light bulb and found that it had burned out in the time that Heather had left for work and the time that I had gotten up. It was found that the light bulb had burned out and that I am a retard.... But now at least there is light in the kitchen.

I know my non-presence won't make too many wonder, but for those that do, I am just taking a break from being so connected to my laptop and constantly just watching people going on and off my buddy list. So I still have my cell all the time and am still checking email. Just taking a break thats all, I am sure I will be back on IM in a couple of days.

Right so the gov signed in a bill today to allow HIV organ donors for people that already have HIV. This sounds fair and reasonable, but.... Organs and donors and receivers and all that such is merely managed by paperwork and there are way way too many cases each year of surgeries that happen to wrong people and all that stuff that could have been prevented through simply checking the name on the order and the name on the person matches. But what if an HIV organ was given to someone who wasn't HIV positive because someone forgot to look at the checkbox that said this was an HIV organ or maybe that box didn't get checked because whomever pulled the organ forgot to check it because this is a new situation. Thats the kind of lawsuit that costs your license and seeing as the cost of medical school is so damn much, this is not a risk i think I would personally want to take. But hey I suppose this is just my opinion.

So I went out and I encountered women, by dictionary definition thats what they were, but honestly ladies you really need to kick some of these people off your team. After speaking and being around some of them these are some of the ideas that have come to my mind.

1. I am going to have to get a dog that will be perpetually cute and own a dog for the sole purpose of picking up women.

2. I could swear an oath of celibacy so at least it looks like what I am doing is a choice.....

3. I need a shirt that says you must be at least 21 to talk to me......

4. Add a minimum IQ to the above shirt.

5. If your IQ is not higher then your bra size doubled then either have enormous breasts(in which case don't talk to me because you are hauling them in a wheelbarrow) or just don't talk to me, and don't laugh where I can hear you (the laughter makes me want to put chopsticks in my ears)

6. Is there a way to reverse a lobotomy because, honestly I don't think these women have a chance otherwise.

I could do this as a sort of bitter anit-women comedy but I would get about this far into the act before I would have to change my act to solo soprano singing because the stage would be rushed and I would be castrated.

Now don't get me wrong I do know that there are a huge number of intelligent women and there will be some that even read these ramblings of mine, so don't immediately take offense. Trust me if you meet these woment they offend even you. Plus intelligent women apparently don't often go where I go.

So heres the disclaimer, if your offended write a comment, iif you think it was funny make a comment, if you would like to castrate me at least give me a running head start.....

I was awake at 7:30 AM and have already done the dishes swept my floors and gathered the things up to call dell on the laptop, The rest of the day will be calling dell and applying for jobs and then probably just some PS2 to kill some time.

is it just me or is it just a tad blasted hot when you sit inside still with the fan blowing on you and continue to sweat?

So I was bored, but instead of making weapons of mass distraction I decided to play the Brick game on my ipod. I know alot of my friends either have an ipod or access to one. So my score is 669 after about an hours worth of play. So lets see some high scores in the comments if any of you decide to play.

I got up very early this morning (5AM) and went trout fishing at bennett springs. I caught some fish cleaned some fish and then went to desoto to get Dad's truck and go and back to the house on the lake. I found out about this time I didn't have my truck keys with my apt keys on them. After calling around and dreading the concept of driving to Bennett Springs which would have gotten me back to STL around 9PM, I decided to go out to my uncle's house and check the Expedition one last time. I got lucky and did manage to find the keys under a large map under the seat. And so my eventful day ended with good things and I got to get home at a decent time.

New resolution to try to post a little more often.

The rent is paid up until September, and I am only 488.32 in the red..... but the money from the car will be in soon so that will be fixed and then I can pay off all my debts and go to Vegas for defcon.

I have access to the real world again with my digital cable and my 3 megs down and this is my first post from the new apartment.

I have realized that of all the bugs you can squish at 70 Mph there is none more annoying then lightning bugs. The are so much more annoying then even the big ones because you can ignore the big splotches that they make, but when you squish a lightning bug it makes a bright green spot on the windshield that is extremely hard to ignore......
