Got home yesterday and I'm disappointed to say that I did NOT get to meet up with my favorite Blogger Buds. I had a Blast during my trip, however! Even though the closest I got to the strip was the Rio to see Penn & Teller :)

I always thought that stuff was a bunch of crap, until I started really watching the Reds this year. But now, experience tells me that I should never watch a full game again, EVER.First, they traded my favorite player, and now they can't seem to win a single game I watch. What the hell??? They win the ones I don't watch...

And oddly enough, I’m excited about it. Maybe it’s because I found a favorite player last year, Austin Kearns, or maybe it’s just because I’ve been tortured with basketball for months, but I’m actually excited about seeing baseball games. I am a little P.O.ed that the Reds traded Kearns, but I found him again so I’ll at least be able to keep an eye on him.Also, we started the gardening yesterday.

It amazes me that even though he wrote this years ago, it still applies in so many ways.Thought of the Day:Men don't win because they're right, they win because they're so fucking persistent.If I Could Be An Animal For the Day:I would be a geico, because they have the funniest commercials.

All right, I took a little break in my pity party and checked out a few message boards... And I gotta tell ya, if people had the same sense of humor that they had even a few years ago, life would be a lot easier to swallow. But now, with all this PC stuff, it’s stifled anything even remotely funny. I’m not talking about racism or being sexist, I'm talking about plain ol’ basic ‘I’m gonna get you!

I am so bored with my life!This town has sucked so much out of me, I can’t even carry on a decent conversation with anyone... Not that anyone around here cares to actually think about anything, they just want to regurgitate that same old crap.

But Not For Your Body!Did you know that drinking soda, even diet soda, is really bad for you? I went to the dentist the other day and, even though I smoke, and drink, and haven't been to a dentist in ten years, he didn't say a word about that, he gave me a big 'ol lecture on drinking soda. And, apparently, the acid is not only bad for your teeth, but if your a chick, it's bad for your bones too.

I don't get it. An old fat guy with big boobs can walk around during the summer without his shirt on, and no one raises an eyebrow, but a cute chick with big boobs can't mow her lawn topless without getting arrested for being 'indecent'!

May not be so bad after all.Between Jill teaching me how to make scrambled eggs, and the people I’m with now teaching me how to do all kinds of dinner foods, I think I may actually be getting good at this.

Thanks a lot Teri. (If it had been anyone else...)I make up music videos in my head to entertain myself.I’m addicted to Lysol.I still like Procol Harum.I’m a closet ‘control freak’. I know where all my things are and I’m lost if someone moves them... Which is how my family members entertain themselves.My bedroom is completely devoid of any type of mental stimulus.

I actually posted this elsewhere, but I want to add it here as well because it seems so appropriate at the time.Life is difficult.This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult -once we truly understand and accept it- then life is no longer difficult.

I can’t believe I had never seen or even heard of a Diabolo until last week when Bob introduced me to this odd little toy. At first glance, it may appear to be simple to work, but it’s not. And because I was able to learn one trick, I'm now obsessed with mastering it.Working a Diabolo is an almost mindless act once you learn the basics, but it does require a great deal of both concentration and

OK, I went to bed last night and totally forgot about setting my clock back an hour. So, not only did I get an extra day this week, I also have an extra hour to tell about it!Thursday turned out to be a really nice day.

My schedule has been so off the last couple of weeks that I don’t even know what day it is. Ain’t that a hoot? I just realized a little bit ago that today is Wednesday, not Thursday... Which means I have an extra day before I go back to work!So now I’m sitting here trying to decide on what I want to do with my extra day.

This may sound trivial, but it makes a big impact on me:I was just watching the FL Governor give his hurricane warnings to the people of Florida, and while I remember him doing this before Katrina, I lost track of it and never commented on it.

You know that ever popular question about what you would take with you if you were stuck on a deserted island? Well, I’ve been thinking about that. Why does no one ever mention food and water? I mean, how long does a bunch of CDs and attractive mates last when you have nothing to eat? I guess if they’re attractive enough after a week or two, you could eat them, but that’s just a seriously gross

Has our nation become so democratic that we no longer view the facts as facts, but just one side of the story?Granted, there are those subjects that are better determined by opinion, emotion and experience, but in some cases there are defined sets of facts that are clearly stated, yet ignored because they conflict with what we want to believe.I once saw an experiment where two people voted on the

After reading some of your comments, I’m starting to feel a little better. There are people out there that are open minded! But just so you understand where I’m coming from, belief is some something that I don’t know, it’s something that I have to take someone’s word for (like science, plumbing, history and so forth,) knowing is something I’ve experienced and know to be true. Faith is my word for

I suspect that a lot of people (if not all people) do mistake belief for knowledge. How do you know something that you didn’t personally experience? And even if you personally experienced it, how do you know that your previous experiences didn’t color your perception? You don’t. You either believe or disbelieve the given facts and correlated experiences.That’s not such a bad thing, mind you, it

I've been watching quite a bit of VH1 Classics here recently, and one of the groups they've been playing a lot of is Morris Day & The Time. I can understand why this guy was so popular, he is such a hoot!I think that's one of the elements I miss most about 80's music, so much of it was just about having fun and being goofy. I've learned a lot of good lessons from the music I listen to, and I

I just have to say, I LOVE my new .mp3 ("RCA Lyra" a cheap ipod knockoff) player! It isn't much, 128 mg with a SD slot (which I think is invaluable,) for only $50! The thing has already saved me the price of a new car stereo and any new CD players. Plus! I don't have to bug the drivers or people around me! My music is my own, unless I lose myself and start singing out loud...I don't mean to

If it weren't for you leaving that link up, I would have never found the site with all the videos, and found out that there actually was a site with Pink Floyd videos...

Well, since I'm getting no where fast with the video editing, I figured I would try my hand in the kitchen today to see if I'm any better at that. You see, I've been reading An80sNut's blog and with all of his post about cooking... I guess I just figured what the heck? If he can do it, I can do it. Right?Wrong.I attempted my first loaf of bread this morning, and quickly found out that hope don't

Do ya know where I can find some good programs for editing video with sound? Or do I need some better of equipment?My goal is to edit some home videos and photos with movie videos and DVDs, and then add some music and commentary (don’t ask, it’s an art "thingie".) I have ShowBiz, Sonic, Nero, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, blah blah blah, (half a dozen others that haven’t helped at all) and a nifty

I think I’ve just found out what political party I am!I’ve often tried to describe where I stand party wise: I’m Republican because I agree with them on most of their financial views. I’m also a Democrat because I agree with them on most of their social views. But I’ve never felt that either party represents ALL my views, and I've never felt welcomed by either party because of the conflicts. (Not

I think Fred hit the nail on the head on that last post. But, I want to take it a step further.How did we get to this "victim" mindset?-Now, it's been my experience that people usually tend to spout what they think they know and that's what I'm about to do, so please take it with a grain of salt and don't be too harsh :o) But also let me know if you think I'm a nut...

But I wasn’t asking for this.I didn’t see the news broadcast firsthand, but I read on Evil Sandmich’s blog about an accident that happened in Cleveland involving a teenager hitting and killing a 9 year old girl with his car while fleeing from the cops.While I understand their grief, I found it appalling that bystanders at the accident would immediately start blaming the cops for the death (why

Granted, there are some great benefits to living with others, (we have a cook, a great lawn care technician, a computer whiz/mechanic -don’t ask, we all have our domestics roles and we’re happy with them. Not to mention that between the three of us, we have a very nice home instead of three crappy apartments) but still, there are those times that I miss the privacy of having my own crappy little

Yes, you heard right! A new old testament has been found at the Vatican.Sources say that, while cleaning house, the new Pope ran across what most believe to be a third testament (commonly referred to as Episode III, even though it takes place before Genesis.)This new addition focuses mostly on Hell, which -if I’m understanding this correctly- used to be a day spa for angels. Apparently, the

OK, seeing how that last post was a flop (whether it was because most people just don’t care, don’t want to think about it, or I’ve just exposed myself as a total idiot for stating the obvious, I don’t know...?) I figured I better go to a lighter/serious-er subject...Eminem.I know this guy is popular, but he sooo does not appeal to me at all. I find his lyrics offensive and totally disrespectful.

Well the Fourth is over and I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I know I did. I got to spend some quality time with friends and family, and even made some new friends, which is pretty cool.But that aside, while celebrating The Fourth I started thinking about our freedom and how we came to be where we are. Over two hundred years ago, our people came to this land hoping for something better

OK, after getting myself all worked up on Martin’s blog (May I call you Martin, Martin?) I’ve decided to come back here and relax a bit.I caught myself making the stupidest comment a minute ago: Oh shit, I have to poo and I’m out of toilet paper. I don’t know why I said it that way... Maybe it’s the rebel in me battling my proper upbringing. I’m just thankful that no one else heard it.Have you

My mother and I have been talking about this lately and I've come to the conclusion that I do, indeed, want to be cremated. But not just that, (I think I've wanted that every since I realized that I wasn’t going to live forever...) now I'm going into specifics:1) I want my ashes put into the gaudiest tin can available.

Nevermore did an interesting post recently and while, I’m not sure if this how he meant it, just the words got me to thinking again about one of my old issues: "they believe that whatever they're thinking actually reflects original thought."Well, I was a kid once too, and actually thought the same thing. I’ve grown up since then and let me tell you, finding out that it’s not true can be very

Sometimes, I reeeeally hate computers. Or maybe I just hate the people who make computer viruses. (And for those of you that don't know very well, I do not use the "h" word lightly, but in this case...)I just had to reformat my entire computer because some jackass went on a power trip and thought it would be humorous to cause me (and I'm sure thousands of others) some grief.

You know, I got to thinking about this a little more, and what you guys are saying...Personally, I think that people are basically good hearted. They don't intentionally hurt someone unless they've been hurt, or are having a bad day, or whatever. Thing is, if a person could actually see the impact they have one others, how would they respond? Would they understand the hurt that they've caused?

What if, suddenly, all the mask we wear were lifted? What if we could see each other for who we truly are? With all our hopes and dreams and fears exposed? What if, every time we criticized someone else, our own faces lit up with our own insecurities? Without the need to express ourselves, would we crumble under the pressure of who we are, or would we revel in the newborn freedom?

Being a SCUBA diver and having a deep curiosity of the ocean, I think I've found a new hero in Graham Hawkes (mentioned in my previous post.) By designing the Deep Flight Aviator, Hawkes’ technology has made much of the ocean floor accessible to the rest of us, and by continuing his research, we get the chance to learn more and more about the deeper regions of the ocean.

Every since I first starting hearing stories about the Bermuda Triangle, I've been fascinated by the mysteries that surround it.
