Hey! I just realized! Today is the six-month anniversary of the start of this blog! Imagine, half a year of inane, self-amusing rhetoric.... Can I get some love from the audience? Found over at the Daily Probe:Woman Mistakes Blog Visitors for Friends CHICOPEE, Mass. (DPI) - Debra Dixon was shocked to learn that despite WebTrends reports to the contrary, having a daily average of 400 unique visitors to her Blog during peak traffic hours does not translate into real popularity or coolness. "I thought of these people as my friends, you know, because they all stopped by to see how my day was going," said Dixon. "They all really wanted to know what I had for breakfast and how I doubled the volume of my Aunt Jemima syrup by adding water to the bottle." Records show that most of Dixon's visitors are from the iwon.com search results for "sticky fingers" and "girls who love computers". Thursday, August 01, 2002
San Francisco Voters to Decide if City Should Grow Marijuana I wonder how far the Feds will go to prevent this from happening? Arrest of city officials? DEA raids on city property? I'm all for the medical use of pot, but one of the future side effects of this issue will be the eventual desire to legalize marijuana, either on the state or federal level. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. My personal experience with pot leads me to believe that it's about as dangerous as alcohol, to which some people can become addicted to as easily as booze. Maybe the only side effect of legalization will be a huge jump in the stock price of the Frito Lay Corporation? I guess I'll wait & see what happens in Europe with the relaxing of their anti-pot laws. UK Navy blows up £400mil ($935mil) ships What do you do when nobody wants to buy your ships? You blow them up, of course. Tuesday, July 30, 2002
Chirac calls portrayal of France as anti-Semitic an 'insult' French President Jacques Chirac on Monday lashed out at what he termed an "anti-French campaign" aimed at portraying his country as anti-Semitic, which he said is being waged by American Jewish groups under orders from Jerusalem. To use a hockey analogy, didn't Chirac just put the puck in his own goal? Sunday, July 28, 2002
AHA! I'm not the only one that thinks fast food litigation is dumb. [note: this is a strictly defensive move, as I've had people jumping up & down on me in my comments. :) ] Is there anyone that I missed? Well, so far this month, I've insulted women & fat people. Who wants to be next? I think I've figured out why I was supposed to move to Des Moines. If I believed in a Divine Being, this would be Her test to see if I really wanted children or not. My goddaughter is very cute, and can be incredibly sweet when she puts her mind to it. Today, though, she was doing everything short of spinning her head around & spewing green pea soup at us. I know it's different when the kids are your own, but I can already tell that I'm going to be the "bad guy" with my kids (assuming I have any), as I won't put up with that kind of blatantly manipulative shit. My kids will go to their mother for favors, while daddy sits & reads the paper, completely oblivious to the end run being performed on him. Of course, I could just as easily turn into the big softy that Rich is.... I wasn't feeling like myself today. I woke up exhausted, took a nap, went out frisbee golfing where I had a nasty encounter with a thorn tree, got home & performed first aid on myself, took another nap, watched some tv, and attended to my blog. I think I may be getting sick, as I usually get really tired right before I come down with something. Oh, yeah, the thorn tree incident. On one of the holes on the frisbee golf course, my friend Rich was behind a bunch of trees. I told him to throw around them, so he threw his disc into a thorn tree on the bank of a creek. A steep bank. A steep muddy bank. (Can you see where this is going?) In an effort to retrieve the disc, I slid partway down the muddy embankment. As I slid through the multitude of creepers, prickly vines, and low-hanging thorn branches, I grabbed a branch to stop myself from sliding into the creek. Unfortunately, that branch was one covered in long, sharp wooden thorns. My left hand still hurts (almost 12 hours later) from the many puncture wounds & broken off thorns in my flesh. I also have a rather nasty-looking four inch scratch/slash on the back of my left calf, in addition to the dozens of other smaller scratches & puncture wounds. I look like I've been wrestling a greased cat. I should've just slid into the creek. I would've shed less blood. Anyway, I'm too tired to sleep right now. I have to get up in five hours to go to the zoo. Kill me. |
