A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Good day of work yesterday. Met the family at the mall. We let the 11 year old girl, her 12 year old best friend and our 8 year old boy go see The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie by themselves. Controlled safe environment and Mom never left the mall. The kids felt empowered and were all giddy as all get out!

We finished up with a dinner of boiling Mr. Crab. I let loose with my own adlibed script and cooked dinner while speaking for Mr. Crab, SpongeBob and Patrick. I think I did pretty good with each of their voices including Mr. Crab’s scream as he entered the pot to SpongeBob’s manic laughter. My voices faltered slightly when my audience of Sarah, Noah and Sarah’s friend (via phone receiver held in air–I was broadcast!) showed up and I started to laugh. The kids seems quiet amused with this one with big grins on their faces as opposed to their typical eye rolling ‘dad you are sooo embarassing’ responses to my humor. What fun! “SpongeBoooob! I’ll ye mah last dollar to get me outta this pot. Aven’t aye been a good boss to ya?” “Heeeheheheee” “Uh, Spongebob, Mr. Crab is turnin a funny shade of red.”

The evening was calm and destressing.

Today is the soccer tournament. 20% chance of rain. Noah, 8, will play 3 forty minute games (20 minute halfs with a 5 minute break between). Between games are a supposed hour and 15 minute break for them to rest up on jumping games like moon walks and other amusements. This guy is going to be so worn out at the end of this day I’d expect he’ll passout at dinner time!

*Snap* and it was over. Apparent Jerry missed the sign that said “no mice allowed in the kitchen.”

This Morning

I was weak last night and gave into unnecessary sleep. Now I have a bit of an anxiety build up but am fighting to stay calm. I need a haircut badly but don’t know when I can work it it. This week was short because of me. Next week will be short because of Thanksgiving (A time we give thanks b/c the Indians showed our forefathers how to live through the winter so we could kill them in the spring). This is a hard time of year.

Political November 18, 2004 12:42 pm

I’ve had this window open since the election with intent to summarize, review and comment. However, at this point I can only say, interesting read.

Here’s the basic premise of Frank’s book: In Kansas (and really the rest of the country) religious conservatives have overtaken the Republican Party at the grassroots level. Having been abandoned by the Democratic Party during the sixties in favor of Rainbow Coalition, urban cultural politics, these rep-Cons (Frank’s term for conservative, working-class, bible-loving former Democrats that now vote Republican) stewed in their own religious fervor–which apparently is especially feverous in Kansas and has been since the state’s radical founding–until they became a massive Jesus-infused political force and began chucking rep-Mods (Moderate, socially liberal, old school Republicans) out of office. And here’s the rub. The rep-Cons, for a variety of reasons, fully support the rep-Mods economic ideas (ideals), even though that way of thinking, economically speaking, is analogous to a slave supporting slavery.

Again, en masse, the working poor of Kansas are electing politicians that make their lives worse. And the people are doing it gleefully, out of their own free will. So they think.

Dataste.com has another kitten picture. What’s with all the kittens today? I found Dataste.com via BlogExplosion. Scroll down for other funnies such as Homeless but still blogging and Things Yoda Might Say While Making Love. There are several good kitty pictures too.

Looks like someone has been making postcards! You will probably want to click and release your mouse wheel then drag the mouse pointer down slightly to use the autoscroll. I should be mean and say something like “that last picture was funny!” I actually went to the end to see if there was any joke as the last picture (something I would personally do). I doubt many other people will make it all the way through. Enjoy!

Looks like one of these postcard pics was used for the famous “Everytime you masterbate God kills a kitten” picture.

Since the topic came up, here is a must watch anti-masterbation commercial No nudity. Worksafe with the exception of the word “masterbate” being spoken repeatedly.

Mouse Hunt November 18, 2004 10:21 am

The cat has failed to catch its prey. My Hunt (amz) has begun. The evident of mice in the kitchen is disturbing. Time to eliminate the rodents without hurting the toddler, cat, dog or curious 8 or 14 year old. I give the 11 year old enough credit to stay away from the traps.

This Morning

I worked through the night! And it felt great! I am no more tired this morning that I typically am.

I am trying to figure out why TN Lottery Results is not getting ranked by google. By the documentation and FAQs I’ve been reading it is possibly due to a lack of external links to the page. The blog is not ranked possibly because they think the page is a “landing page” or “doorway page” for TN Lottery Results.

I’m having too much fun with Google’s Adsense right now. I just added the skyscrapper to the left to try for a day or two. I already think it looks too obnoxious. I have a total redesign for this blog coming soon anyway. I don’t want to turn the blog into a large advertisement.

Need a good reference November 18, 2004 2:40 am

I’m a reference person. I realize that the biggest difference between my ColdFusion experience and my PHP experience is a pocket reference. Granted, I have years of ColdFusion over PHP so there is a greater familiarity but as much as I like searchable online documentation I still have an affinity for a paper reference.

Time to shop O’Reilly’s.

To Death and Evil November 17, 2004 8:41 pm

When I came across the Chickadee

It still had life where it lay

A beautiful creature with sweet song

It lived to fly and from breeze

To breeze it flew without care.

Never has a barrel of bad apples

Been turned to edible fruit

With the inclusion of a single

Good apple. Much to the chagrin

Of the optimists, one bad apple

Will ruin the bunch. One good apple

Is devoured either by the bad

Or for a snack or lunch.

On this day, Evil lay in the tall grass.

A cat stalked its unawares prey.

That poor Chickadee was singing

Its last song today.

Having left the nest with foul words

Its mate declared “Good riddance!

Sing with your flock.” Though she meant it not.

When left uncared for wood will rot.

Kept polished, oiled and dry

It will last centuries.

Stains leave curvy marks

Where instead there should be grains.

Termites eat the innards like cancer

Eats the brain.

I rose from the grass

Held the bird in my hand

And crushed from its chest

Its very last breath.

Tonight my relationship with everybody permanently changed.

I don’t know what sins I committed in past lives but they must have been some doozies. I sure would like a hint as to when my penance will be paid.
