Winter warmth....

Today.... It's supposed to be 78 degrees. Ummmm.... It's January. Where is the cold? Where is the jacket weather? Snow? Shorts and a t-shirt anybody? I need to mow my yard. Did I mention it's January? It's really strange.... The trees all lost their leaves a while back, but the plants keep right on trucking along and enjoying the winter warmth... Here are a few pics I took this morning in my yard.... None of these should be flowering right now....

OMG ... Where am I?

I'm sure a few of you who have been to my page before are wondering what happened here.... I remodeled just a little bit. I got bored with the same old brown template and decided it was time for my page to reflect my name just a little bit.... So now...I HAVE GUPPIES!!!!! Let me know what you think....

Happy Friday!

I've seen this video on quite a few sites lately, and it cracks me up every time.... There is a reason why you don't kiss your opponent before a fight... Here is why! Anyway... I hope everybody is having a great day today.... And I hope everybody will go visit my new renter. While politically, I probably disagree with him more often than not, but Ender has a great blog that is worth checking out. Go tell him guppy sent you over...

More on spam....

I was digging thru one of my bulk mail folders and I ran into a bunch of e-mail following a theme.... Inject considerable flavour to your aliveness? Supply considerable flavouring to your experience? Contribute considerable flavouring to your liveliness Append considerable spicery to your living? Add up important spicery to your liveliness! Add up substantial spicery to your experience Inject considerable spice to your liveliness Add substantial spiciness to your living WTF?!? Flavour and spicery anyone? Important, considerable and substantial amounts at that! Gee... I didn't realize it was missing, but now.... I was going to do a whole spam post again, but... as I was looking through the few thousand e-mails... I noticed they were all the same ones over and over and over again.... Buy stox Buy fake Rolex Hook up with cheap women Get laid on video Cheap drugs with no perscirptoin E-bay or paypal needs me to verify my account info I won a lottery I didn't play Some dude in nigeria wants to give me millions of dollars Blah blah blah blah.... I need better spammers. I need original spam. I need to be entertained by my spam. There needs to be a law... I know they can't stop spam from coming, so they should at least require it be entertaining. Who do I complain to about unoriginal, boring spam anyway?

Projects for 2006

2006 looks like it may be full of woodworking projects. That's cool... I like building stuff... Here are a few I have planned.... 1. Paint and install molding around the bathroom we redid... I bought the moulding this past weekend, but I think I may buy a nail gun before I install it. Yay! New tools! I love that.... 2. Buy, paint and install moulding in the dining room. 3. This will be the biggest project by far- Turn what is now an office/junk room into an office/scrapbooking/craft room. I need to design & build what will hopefully be around the room countertops with shelving for everything from scrapbooking paper to computer printers to paperclips... This room will hopefully come together sometime this year... I am itching to get started on it... I will also need shelving around the top for my wife's massive Barbie collection... I think we decided to go with some kind of pop-culture theme that I will need to work with too... should be fun. 4. Build a router table. I have plans for a very cool one, just haven't gotten around to it yet. 5. Possibly start building benches to sell. 6. Improve both the oragnization and functionality of my garage/workshop. I made a good start on this Monday while I was off of work... I finally got the garage mostly clean and I have some new spaces to work (no more cutting everything on the floor!) Now I just need to keep it that way. 7. Oops... can't say... There may be presents involved for some people who may read my blog... (or maybe not, I can't say either way) Anyway... I have a busy year in the garage ahead of me... Hopefully I can get to a good portion of these things... And hopefully my collection of tools grows in the process. So... If you need me... check the garage... You'll probably find me there with sawdust flying....

3rd post today!

*UPDATE* Remember my post about the Million Dollar Homepage? Well... the dude is down to his last 1000 pixels... and he put them up for auction on E-bay... As of right now, he has gotten 67 bids and it is up to $21,800.00 !!!!!!!!! He still has 7 days to go on the auction! OK... somebody help me figure out a simple way to get rich like this.... I can't believe this worked for this guy! More power to him, but man... I am jealous!

New Reality TV schedules.....

Come on.... admit it.... You are going nuts without any reality TV shows to watch.... Well... you are in luck! January brings a new season for you to laugh at the wannabe stars of reality TV... Here are a few starting up in the next few weeks: Dancing with the Stars - Jan. 5 Who knew that this one would be a hit the first time around? John Hurley got ripped off, but came back and won their "rematch".... Stacy Keibler (WWE Diva) is one of the dancers... I have no clue who else they talked into this.... And if that wasn't good enough for you, Fox dug into their cheap rip-off closet and came up with Skating with Celebrities - Jan. 18 What you talkin bout Willis? Todd Bridges is one of the "celebrities" they chose for this one... Gee... Can't wait.... This show should be better than Nyquil. Beauty and the Geek - Jan. 12. Hopefully this one is nearly as good as the first time around... Last time was one of the better shows on... Let's hope they don't screw it up. American Idol - Jan. 17 American Idol is back with a new group of misfits who think they have what it takes to get their 15 minutes of fame... I love the folks who seem convinced they have a voice- not the ones who obviously go in to try to get on TV... but the ones who must have gotten told they can sing by their family... the truly clueless ones.... They are classic. The Biggest Loser: Special Edition - Jan. 9. A short run, five-episode spin-off of the popular weight-reduction contest features families and engaged couples. Who knows if they can pull this off like this... the real show does good and builds a relationship between the viewers and the cast... This will do what, let us see big folks we don't know get smaller? Not sure if it's gonna work. Anyway.... there you go.... there's a few new shows for you to wet your appetite for reality TV... Thank God for DVR- I don't think I could handle any of them without the fast-forward button... But I will try to suffer thru a few of these and tell you my opinions.... I know you can't wait!

Happy New Year (again)

I thought about my first post in the new year... Should I post a review of 2005? How about a forward look at 2006? Resolutions for the new year? None of it sounds right.... So maybe I'll just post like nothing happened.... So here goes... Droogle is a site dedicated to helping you make the most out of your alcoholic ingredients at home. We've assembled a powerful search engine to help deliver the most accurate drink recipes quickly and easily. Ok folks.... Everybody pitch in and by me the Viper this week as Astroworld sells off a bunch of their stuff Do you have what it takes to join notMensa.... Well... that's it... That's my first post of 2006. I hope everybody has a great year and gets all their goals accomplished... Now... if only I could finish my new template....
