Ok I don't know what icon to give for todays post, I'm happy about christmas coming and stuff and then I'm just gutted about the impending doom of my wallet... if anyone knows of anything out there I pay 20% on web site work to the bringer. All you have to do is introduce me and maybe make a few phone calls. Anwyay, We had a little get together last night at the house and it went pretty good. The kids stayed upstairs and pretty much kept to themselves and we all stayed downstairs. It was pretty good fun!
First link today may end up being a big one sooner or later... Google has the ability to search online catalogs now... didn't work so good just yet but they are pretty good, give them time.

Weeee... it's the weekend for me! I just sent out 1500 emails ... got spam? Anyway holiday parade in Baytown tonight for Dade, I'm sure he'll like it. Christmas is winding down for those who have not shopped yet... get out there and save the economy... uhh ok will they save my job?
Anyway JC outdid himself today he just sent this to me... This little tidbit of information was just forwarded to me, and it may interest some of you. If you have your TX Driver's license. Turn it over and look on the back. There is a state wide 1-800 roadside assistance number. This is a free service paid for by the state with your tax dollars. So the next time you need Mr. Rescue, a gallon of gas, a tow truck, or whatever, look on the back of your DL and use what the state has already provided for you. Rather than paying some other bozo.
I looked and it is there! Does it work? Don't know but how cool would that be if it did!
JC also sent in this eBay auction. Read it carefully... it states very slearly that it is the box only ... some little kid somewhere is not going to be happy on Christmas day!
Big G spotted this in the chronicle... No more 60/65/70 speed limits... 55 baby... That SUCKS!
Ok have you had bad service somewhere and just wanted to get that guy or tell someone how bad it was or something... use the web! This is a powerpoint presentation about the Doubletree Houston and how bad it was... good for a laugh!
Give this guy a penny...I really wanted this up here because the site is bobupndown.com !
What a freakin day! Look if you know me I'm having a bad luck kind of day today... it starts off alright, bu thten I go to install this CDRW it should take like 10 minutes and it does, bu the bundled software won't work with it so after 3 hours of screwing with that, it's going back to where it came from. Then the office down the hall loses power. So freakin maintenance man goes in the utility room and just starts flipping switches off and on. He manages to shut down our whole floor and kill all of my servers, when they come back online nothing works. Turns out one of the old PDCs was still attached and when the power came back on so did he. Well he took over authentication and well it f'ed up everything! Once I got that sorted out the mail server would not work... all related to the PDC business... SUCK! Anwyay then I was working on this router and it would not behave like I wanted it to ... after I told it a few explitives it straighted itself out. Now after all that I'm scared to drive home! What else is going to go wrong! Anyway... hey I did have a good lunch today!
S sent me this... read this about Randy Moss, you knew he was an F up now he's proved it!
This is kinda neat! 20 years of archives of the usenet, hosted at Google!
Sperm Donor has to pay child support... this is a bit ify ... of course I don't think I like the donating part so much either... I don't think I'd like to knowing have some kid out there and parent it.
Have you ever seen when those high rise buildings light the windows to spell something out well blinkenlights lets you design something for the building yourself, there is even a webcam to see it, you can even play pong on it using your mobile phone DAMN!!... v.cool

What do I have to say today... booyeah! I put the screws to Lawboy in fantasy football this week something like 83-17, that secures me a playoff spot! Yes! Anyway let's get some links down so I can go home...
You know I couldn't have said it better myself... DVD Menu Design: The Failures of Web Design Recreated Yet Again this article talks about something that has been a bothering me for a long time. I was watching Blow last night and I would have sworn there was no trailer on this damn thing but low and behold the back of the case said it was there... only if your psychic! You have to traverse your way down menu hell to get to it... suck!
I'm sure you have all heard about the guy who WAS an American and was fighting for the Taliban... well he denounced his citizenship and fought against the U.S. I say leave him to the wolves... to get more insight on how he got this way one need only look to the internet... read some of his old postings and emails...mildy interesting.
My friend AH sent me this one Tamponhenge I think the name speaks for itself...
First of all who registers a name like dolphinsex.org ... anyway you want something wacky... yes this a FAQ on how to mate with a dolphin... insert your own joke here... did it have something to do with blowholes?
Ok I'm not sure if all of these are real but this guy claims to have about 85 different cans of fake Dr. Pepper yes you know like from Wal Fart - Dr. Thunder... I think some of these are BS but it's just goes to show you what some people will put on the web...
Are you pissed at Subway since they stopped cutting triangle pieces out of the bread and just started slicing it down the middle? You are not alone! This site desperatley wants to "Bring back the classic cut", there is a petition with over 4000 sigs on it go add yours and make 4001!
I have had a headache for 2 straight days! DAMN IT! Anwyay I have to comment on this but friend S said what I wanted to say better than I could have said it so here is what he said...
It's hard to imagine a worse scenario from the BCS standpoint -- a team that did not win a division title, let alone a conference title, coming off its worst defensive performance in history, losing 62-36 to the team ranked just
ahead of them in both polls, gets the formula's verdict by five-hundreths of a point. Five-hundreths of a BCS point outweighs 26 points on the field.
Angie and I went to see Oceans 11 last night. I thought it was pretty damn good! now I want to see the original, I hear the original pales by comparison, but I almost never believe those reviewers anyway. Well today is a big showdown in my Fantasy Football league... Number 2(me) is going up against Number 1. Whoever wins gets in the playoffs for sure!

Let me start by saying I cannot carry a tune in a bucket! I hate to even hear my own voice sometimes, but this morning I grabbed my cd of Robert Earl Keen...No.2 Dinner Live. Now REK is a folk singer, he comes on the country stations sometimes but he's not really country. He's a storyteller. All of his songs are rich and colorful and tell great stories, I'm not talking stories that repeat the same lines over and over for the chorus, no his stories are lush and full of flavor, and very easy to sing to! His voice is unique and probably not very musical, but it is perfect for this type music... by the time I got to work I was singing at the top of lungs and smiling ear to ear. Thank god my stereo is loud enough... anyway if you are looking for a little something different try REK I'd bet you won't be disappointed.
In case you've been under a technological rock! Real One is out... is it all it's cracked up to be? find out...
My dad sent me this today and I liked it so here we blog...
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year,$ 741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.24 a day! Just over a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you want to be "rich." It is just the opposite.
What do your get for your $160,140?
Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
Glimpses of God every day.
Giggles under the covers every night.
More love than your heart can hold.
Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.
A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping down the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
Someone to laugh yourself silly with no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs, and never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to keep: reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.
You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.
You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter,filling a wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat to history to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal.
You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren.
You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God.
You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.
ENJOY YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS
well the weather outside is ... umm balmy i.am.sam

You are longing for a little love and tenderness.....Presently you are feeling very sensitive and need a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. You don't need any further stresses, strains or arguments .. So take a deep breath and relax. Let me take you on a little journey... turn off the lights, put away your inhibitions and click ...me...
enjoy...i.am.samu
