If I'm not here.....

Come look for me here

I'm fed up....

All week, Blogger has been having issues. I'll post something, it'll work fine for a little while.... Then I'll start noticing that I can't get to my page. Or if I can, the comments aren't working. A bunch of folks can't upload pictures. The whole thing has been nothing but a big ol' mess.

Blogger's status page happens to be a blog hosted on.... you guessed it... Blogger. There's something that makes sense! They have problems, and you can't get to their blog to know what they are because the friggin system is down. But even if you could get there, you wouldn't get any information anyway... They don't bother updating the site until after they fixed something, and even then, they don't really give you a clue what has been happening anyways...

I've been playing around with wordpress a little. Checking out a freebie account seeing what I can do with it. I'm not happy with the freebie stuff i've found so far though.... I don't have the control over things like my template that I have become so used to. So I started thinking.... My birthday is next month. Why not ask for a domain and hosting for my birthday? That would solve so many issues... I could run wordpress on my own domain and probably stay a lot happier with the whole blog thing. Plus, I could branch out into a few other areas that I've been wanting to anyways. And I could host my wife's and my mom's blogs too...

So look for big changes soon... I want off of blogger badly. I'm so sick of wondering if it'll work today. I'm sick of wasting credits on traffic exchanges for a page nobody can get to... I'm ready to grow up, embrace my inner geek, and start my own space on the net.

*************NOTE********* It looks like Blogger is still screwed this morning too... When i wrote this, there were nice pretty breaks and seperate paragraphs.... when I posted, I looked and I have one huge jumble of text.... Go figure!?!

Public service announcement

The two most common searches that bring people to my site... Pringles - Everlasting love commercial I'm sorry folks. I don't know why so many people search for this. I don't know why Google has decided that since I mentioned Survivor seems like a Pringles commercial and Somebody sang the song Everlasting Love on American Idol on the same post a long long time ago... I don't know why you think you may find the video here. It's not going to happen. I don't like the song. I don't like commercials. I don't know where you can find the video. I don't care. Go away. 55 gallon aquarium stand plans This one I can help you with. I posted about the stand that I built back in January of 2005. I linked to a guy that has some great plans. I am very happy with the tank stand. Build it and enjoy! Lately I've been getting hits for Ephedramax too.... I mentioned that in one of my spam posts.... Nope folks... I ain't got any. I can forward you some e-mails from folks who claim to have plenty at good prices though.... It's sad.... I get these same old keyword hits... Throw in guppy and guppyman, and that pretty much covers my regular search engine hits. I don't get any of the cool stuff like "Big Breasted Hot Mamas" or "Pregnant Goat Videos". None of the good stuff I see so many people get.... I guess I'm boring or something.... Oh well... Hope you folks find your Pringles song... or not. I don't care either way...

Wordless Wednesday - Huh?

Blogger issues... Bored on a Tuesday....

******NOTE - If you are here from radio opensource- I have a new blog... Blogger got to be too much for me to deal with... Visit me here***** I have no clue what Blogger has been up to... Their picture hosting seems to have gone nuts the last few days, and yesterday I had trouble even getting my page to come up.... I guess I can't complain too much... It's free, right? So today I was trying to figure out something to post. I hate when I just sit on the same post for days at a time. Yeah... I like the last group of pictures, but I need something fresh.... But I hate posting just for the sake of posting. Where is the fun in that? So I decided to grab a few pics that I originally stuck on an anonymous blog I started and gave up on.... Speaking of giving up on blogs.... I had a great time when I started Diary of a Lesbian Guinea Pig... I have guinea pigs that for some reason have decided that girls are their thing. At first, it was so easy.... I had all kinds of ideas on things to post. The first series of posts was great fun... But then it hit bottom. I mean... how much can you post about creatures who sit in a cage and eat, poop and sleep 24/7...? I wish the creative juices had kept flowing for that one, and I keep hoping the spark will come back... but so far it just sits there... Waiting... Hoping I'll come back and figure out how to keep it interesting... We'll see if it ever happens... Anyway... Enjoy these pictures... I went outside to check the mail... When I came back in, I heard a semi-scream from my wife... "Get it, get it!" I'm like... "get what"? She says "the lizard that is over here terrorizing me!" So I go and chase this little guy around... Carefully keeping my body between him and my dogs (who would love a snack)... I finally catch hime and take him outside... He was so grateful, he posed for a bunch of pictures for me! So tell me.... Would this scare you? And just for grins.... Here's a few passion flowers I gave my mom a few years ago... The vine looks great now!

After the storm.....

Last week, we had some nice storms roll thru the area.... Her are a few shots I took after it finally quit raining. Enjoy!
