Friday!

I love Fridays. Finally, the work week is over, and I get to spend time with my family. It seems like during the week time flies by and the little bit of time we get together seems like nothing.... but the weekends are special. We actually get to be together.... And I really enjoy the time I get with them. So I'll be hanging out with my wife and daughter this weekend.... and I'll be happy. Check out this Flea Circus Ever wonder where the money in your pocket has been or is going? Try tracking it at Where's George? Hope everybody has a great weekend! I'll be out in the yard planting and getting everything looking nice... we got some seeds and bulbs that need to go into the ground, and spring fever is calling me to go buy a few flats of something to plant. Time to make the house trully look different from the outside.... it still pretty much looks like what the last owners left us with right now.

Bored

One of my hobbies has been political debate.... I love to get the blood pumping in passionate arguments with people who oppose my political leanings... But since the last election (actually, since about a year before then) good political debate has been hard to come by. All I can find are people who oppose Bush- not for any fundamental reasons... just because he is who he is. I asked over and over during the election how John Kerry would make a good president... the only answer anybody gave me..... "He's not Bush". I asked how Kerry would do things differently... I got "He has a plan". There were no details, no substance, no alternatives.... just pure hatred for President Bush. And it continues... The Bush bashers are out in full force. They whine and complain about everything the man does, and attribute anything and everything that goes wrong in the world to Bush. Yet I can't figure out what any of these people are actually for. I can't figure out what they'd do differently. They seem to be running on pure hatered. What is the Democrat agenda? What do they stand for? What would they do with Social Security, taxes, terrorism, etc...? Do they even know at this point? Or is Bush enough to motivate everything they say or do to the point where they feel they don't need an identity? Luckily, enough people in this country seem to be asking the same question... Bush is still President and we are moving forward. I wonder if the Democrats will ever catch up?

I'm still working on quitting

Well..... On the smoking war... I have been doing pretty good since I ran out of patches... But I am still struggling to get by at work. It has been such a pattern for me- I get frustrated- I'd go smoke. I finish a project- I'd go smoke. I just need a break from staring at the computer- I'd go smoke. So now when things happen.... I look around and go.... What do I do now? So I cheat a little on the smoking thing at work.... I'll bum a cigarette off someone and go out and take a few drags.... It still tastes nasty and I really don't see why I do it... I don't enjoy it anymore... I don't want to smoke... I want to be completely smoke free... But for some reason I can't seem to make it through a day of work without any at all. Maybe I should get some more patches... I wasn't smoking even a drag or two when I was wearing them (except in the mornings when I actually had some at home). But I don't have any there to tempt me any more. So maybe I'll grab a box of the step 3 patches.... get enough nicotine to sustain me without any of the smoking (I think just wearing them is enough incentive for me not to risk serious health effects caused by smoking while it's on). Anyway- I need to defeat this.... It sucks to walk around with this nasty ashtray yaste in my mouth. I need ideas on what to do during breaks from working... I need to figure out something to take up my time. Maybe I'll start walking around the building or something.... there are so many people who started working here that I don't know.... maybe I could just go around and introduce myself... Anyways- I guess that's enough of this for now... Hope everybody is having a great day! Maybe what I need is for them to hurry up and approve this: New anti-smoking drugs promising

Who knew?

Hey....... You can post in color on this here blog thing.... Well I'll be damned.....

Good Morning

WTF? For some reason I can't explain, some days I hop out of bed in the middle of the night.... Today was one of those days... For some reason my body decides 3am is something it wants to see, so I lay in bed tossing and turning until I finally give in and get up. That was this morning.... So I figured I'd look around the net and see what kind of interesting things I can find.... Here's a few games: Mini Golf The Hedgehog Game Dodgeball Drunken Sexual Hangman And if you are in a really strange mood, try checking these out: Trippy Stuff More trippy Stuff There ya go... that should help you stay busy for a little while at least.... I gotta go think about getting ready for work now.... Gee... is it Monday already? Seems like the weekend just started. I hate Mondays.....

Remember LEGO™ ?????

When I was a kid, Legos™ were the shit.... I had what I thought was a huge collection... I'd spend hours creating entire worlds, spaceships, castles, cars, etc.... I still have quite a few packed away in the hall closet... Occasionally I'll get the urge and pull them out and see what I can figure out how to build. But what I come up with doesn't even compare to what I see others are doing. From Lego movies, the Bible, Lifesized R2D2 and harpsichords, Lego murals, etc... Some of these people are incredible with what they have come up with! Here's just a few Lego links.... Google Lego sometime and see how much more there is... Everything from robotics to trains to Boolean math... It seems that there are quite a few out there who refused to grow up to the point that they'd actually get rid of their favorite toys.... Lego Bible Cool Lego movies Buy Sell Trade Etc... Eric Harshbarger's LEGO® Website How do they make Legos? Lego Harpsichord LEGO STAR WARS TRILOGY Abston Church of Christ MJ's Thriller BrickFilms Lego Spiderman Here's a guy who made himself a Lego Computer Beretta 9mm Lego Online Community

Things to do....

I figured I'd give ya'll something to do today... So here's something to play with.... Cool paper dragon that'll follow you around the room.

Tomorrow should be interesting.... I am out of patches as of today.... tomorrow I am going to test if I really need them or not. If I can make it thru without killing someone, then I'll just not get any more. I guess we'll see. Anyway- Not much goin on in my world... Just catching up on the shows we watch.... Survivor, Amazing Race, American Idol, etc.... we've become reality TV junkies. All I can say is thank God for the DVR! Gotta love being able to watch it all while fast-forwarding thru the commercials.
