What A Mess!

We have quite a mess here at my house! This morning my Mom showed me where our roof was leaking, since we've had an insane amount of rain here the last week or so. It wasn't a pretty site! The water had dripped into a light fixture in the bathroom, it's a wonder no one had been electrocuted! We've put in a couple of calls to countractors, hopeully we'll hear from them soon!

Today

Today was my Birthday, I turned 35. It was a nice, quiet day here. Where have all the years gone?

What A Sick Jerk!

Dang, this John Mark Karr guy is a real sicko! Not only did he confess to killing JonBenet Ramsey, which he didn't, causing the Authorities to spend a pretty big amount of money bringing him back from Thailand, but now some of those emails and calls he made seem to indicate that he's a bigtime Pedophile. Someone please tell me where all these degenerates come from! I hope they can make some of the charges in California stick!

My Birthday Wish List

Well Gang, my Birthday is coming up on Friday, and here's some of the things I'd like to have:

New sweat shirts
A Girlfriend (HA!) :p
Books, especially about history
The Trumpeter 1/350 Model kit of the USS Lexington
Battlestar Galactica Season 2.5 on DVD
And if all else fails-MONEY!!!

An Unusual Coin

This is my Counterfeit 1839 Half Dollar that I've had for several years. You can tell that it's made of a soft metal from the damage in the corner.
Strangely, you can collect counterfeit coins, but not bills.

Quote For Today

"Aim at Heaven and you will get Earth thrown in. Aim at Earth and you get neither." C.S. Lewis

Finally...Justice for JonBenet

Today, after nearly 10 years, an arrest was finally made in murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Hopefully the police have enough to put this creep away for life, because I don't know if Colorado has the death penalty. It was a totaly surprise to me that today's events occurred. Maybe now little JonBenet and her Mommy can rest in Peace, knowing that the killer has been found and that her Parents can now be vindicated.

Here's a pic of my Niece Crystal at her swimming meet taken by my sister.

My Newest Project

Here's my newest completed model, a P-51 Mustang

The Ultimate Sci-Fi Story

As a few of you know, I'm a big Sci-Fi Fan, and my 2 favorite sci-fi shows are Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. I'm not much of a writer, and I don't think anyone else would do it, but I think an awesome story would be a Team-up where the Galactica and her refugees finally at Earth during the time of the Federaton during Star Trek The Next Generation, and they fight a Borg-Cylon alliance. Sounds intersting!

I Am Getting SOOO Pissed

Why are some people so stupid? Today while I was in the grocery store, one of the cashiers said "can I help you maam?" I finally snapped! I yelled at her as loud as I could "I am not a maam!" It really humiliates me when someone does that. My God, I know I'm fat where I shouldn't be, but for Shit's sake, I talk to people, can't you tell from my voice that I'm a man, or are you all just stupid?

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Today I was looking at my final high school year book, and it brought back a memory from the day I graduated from high school. Right after graduation practice that day, my Mom and I stopped at Mcdonald's for lunch. While we were in line, there was a lady and a little kid behind us. The lady told the kid to settle down, and he said "No, I don't have to do what you say Mom!" I just about died laughing!

Why Does My Favorite Team Suck so much?

Looks like it's going to be 8 years in a row that my Baltimore Orioles are going to have a losing record. Seems like a lifetime since 96 and 97 when Davey Johnson lead them to the AL champinship series 2 years in a row. The hitting is good, but we need more pitching! the past 2 Saturdays, the O's scored over 10 runs, yet lost both games. And today with their best pitcher, Erik Bedard on the mound, they dropped a 2-1 decision to the Seattle Mariners. The only good news this week was that their best hitter, shortstp Miguel Tejada, wasn't traded at the deadline. I'm starting to feel like a Cubs' fan saying wait till next year! That's what you get from being in the toughest division in the league, the AL East, along with the hated Yankees and Red Sox!

My Opin About The Middle East Fighting

It seems to me that the fighting in the Middle East has been going on since the beginning of time! I really wonder if anyone on either side knows what they're fighing for, or if its just they don't know anything different since it's been going on for thousands of years? Millions of people killed for what?

Life Is What You Make It!

Life is what you make it. You can look forward to the future and think what could be, or you can be trapped in the past and think what might have been! I wish I would have learned this a lot earlier, since a few of the things that have happened to me in life have been a bit hard to shake off, but I'm working on it and will be victorious in the end!

SHEEESHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I tell you, my Dad has gotta be either the most unluckiest or most careless person in the whole world! On Friday, he wrecked yet ANOTHER truck! I've kinda looked back, and it's the past 5 COUNT EM 5 trucks that he's owned that he's wrecked, but this one seems to not have been totalled.

Another One From My Collection

Here's another one from my collection: It's an 1853 Half Dime. For those of you not familiar with US coins, the Half Dime was a silver coin made from 1793-1873, and for the last 6 years of its existence, it circulated alonside the Nickle 5 cent coin that we have now.

The Last Time I Ever Post Anything About This Particular Subject

Well, since my Mom lost her case, it's time to get on with life. But today, there was a bit of finality to it. Her lawyer sent her a bunch of papers today, and in it was a couple of pictures of her hand right after she got hurt. My God, it was a horrible site that I don't want to think about anymore. It's a wonder that her hand wasn't totally cut off! But we're over it and we will preservere!

Help! I'm Sideways!

So You Think Gas Is Expensive?

Here's Something I found posted on one of my groups:

Compare with Gasoline...... Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective. Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 . $10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ...........$9.52 per gallon Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ..... $1 0.17 per gallon Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 .......... $10.00 per gallon Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ........... $33.60 per gallon Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 .... $178.13 per gallon Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 . $123.20 per gallon Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ........ . $25.42 per gallon This is a shocker! Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 $84.48 per gallon And this is the REAL KICKER... Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon?! $21.19 for WATER - and the buyers Don't even know the source. (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.) So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run On water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid, Pepto Bismol or Nyquil.

Why I'm A Democrat

I'm a Democrat because:

My party wouldn't start a war using false information
Doesn't use the courts to steal elections
Doesn't try to dictate how people should live their private lives
Doesn't interfere with a woman's right to chose.


My leaders answer to the people and the Constitution, not to religious fanatics who are trying to turn the US into a theocracy.

My leaders don't call people who critisize them traitors or unpatriotic.
My leaders don't try to stop freedom of the press or other civil rights in the name of security.


So if you think I'm not patriotic for thinking the way I do, then shove it!

This Guy Needs Improved People Skills!

Well, last week, my Mom was officially terminated from her job, almost 6 years after getting hurt. The company sent her a nice (said in sarcasm) letter informing her that she had been fired in summary it said "This is to inform you that you are being terminated from your position. Sorry that your experience here wasn't what you expected." SHEEEEESHHHHH !! After all the crap they put her through, you'd think they'd be a bit more contrite!

A Hot Day!

Today was a hot one! I went through town today and the thermometer on the bank clock said 100 on my way down and 99 on the way back! Thank God for AC!

Camping

I feel like going camping! I havn't been camping for a long time, since I was in Boy Scouts. Since there are woods all around where I live, I have a pretty good location!

I Need Advice

Anyone who has any good dieting ideas, please comment!

Well, We Made It!

Well, 6-6-06 has passed (At least in the Eastern Time Zone) And the World hasn't ended!

What A Way To End A Game

I can only imagine how Edmonton Oilers Goalie Ty Conklin is feeling right now! Last night, with 30 seconds to go, he misplayed the puck behind the net, allowing Carolina's Rod Brind'Amour to score the winning goal in the Hurricanes' 5-4 win in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. Since he's the man in net now that starter Dwayane Roloson is out for the remainder of the series with a knee injury, hopefully Conklin won't let this gaffe effect him too much!

An Excellent Quote

From a Judge that was threatened with impeachment because he supports gay marriage to a Maryland Republican State Senator during hearings:

Senator, when you took your Oath Of Office, did you swear on a Bible to support the Constitution of the United States, or was it the other way around?

Man I hate these Christian extremeists who want to take the rights away of everyone who doesn't kiss Bush's ass and blindly agree with them.

Finally Bush Did Something Right!

As a loyal Democrat, I hate to say this, but Pres. Bush finally did something right! A few days ago, he signed into law a bill that restricted protests at Military funerals. This is in responce to the "Reverand" Fred Phelps, a preacher whos church has nothing better to do then protest at the funerals of soldiers in Iraq, saying that their deaths are the result of God punishing the US for not discriminating against gays enough. Some Christian, huh? A total idiot, if you ask me!

Simply Beautiful!

The Davinci Code

Last night, I went to the movies and saw the Davinci Code. It was OK, nothing spectacular. Even though I know the ideas dicsussed in it are totally BS, I thought it was pretty well acted out, and I don't think it lived up to all the hype. Just my opin.....

Peace At Last

I think I've finally come to terms with my Mom's injury, and the fact that her hand will probably never work again. Probably, It will always hurt me, but at least she's stil alive. No used worrying about the past.... If she can handle it, so can I!

Thought For The Day

One man's complaining is another Man's statement of the Facts.

Poppies

Here's some of my Mom's poppies growing out back.

A Very Expensive Whoops!

I just finished reading about how a police station in New Hamshire Accidentially threw away $31,000 in captured drug money. It is now at the bottom of tons of trash in a landfill. I'd hate to be whoever did that right now!

Today The Goat's Horns Go To....

Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, who missed 2 free throws in the waining seconds of Overtime in Friday's playoff game against Cleveland. The missed free throws prevented the Wizards from expanding their lead from 1 to 3 points, and the Cavaliers won the game on a buzzer beater, clinching the series. Arenas had a superb year, and as a Wizards fan, I hope he can get over it! Some athletes can't get over failures.

Rampant Paranoia

OK People, CALM DOWN! Just because your kid has a Myspace account doesn't mean that they're automatically going to be kidnapped by a Child Molester, and if youre kid's school has Soda Machines it doesn't automaticaly mean that they're going to get fat! My God, that seems like the only 2 subjects on the news anymore. CHILL OUT!

Damn I'm Clumsy

I have got to be the most clumsiest person in the world! Last week, in the same day, I was sitting in a chair, moved, and all the sudden I hear this creaking sound, the chair splinters into a million little pieces, and I end up on the floor! A couple of hours later, I go to put my window down, the window goes off track, and lands right across my wrists! So.... right now, my feet and wrists are a mass of bruises! Sheeesh!

Finally..A Resoultion

Well, My Mom's lawyer called today to say that we lost our case against American Woodmark dealing with Mom's injury. I am sooooooo pissed! It is not fair that my Mom has to go through the rest of her life with the use of only 1 hand, and no one is going to be punished for it!

How Many Of These Can You Remember?

 HOW MANY DO YOU REMEMBER ?? Count them as you go.

6-10 = You are getting older.
11-15 = Don't tell your age.
16-20 = You're older than dirt!
Over 20 =Even dirt isn't as old as you!

I Don't Care Anymore!

From this moment forward, I'm not gonna stress over not having anyone! Maybe I'm trying too hard. Somtimes when you really want something, you end up making yourself look like a fool!

To My Critics

Call me names, criticize me because of my weight, but it doesn't bother me because I ROCK!!!

Gas Prices

Here in Moorefield, the price of gas is $2.83 a gallon. This is totally nuts! The oil companies have us at their mercy!

Helping His Own Cause

Today's Weird Sports Stat:

Cincinatti Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo has made 2 starts so far this season, is 2-0, and has even hit 2 homers, both off of the same pitcher, Glendon Rusch of the Chicago Cubs. Could Arroyo be the reincarnation of another former Boston Red Sox pitcher that could hit a bit, by the name of Babe Ruth?

An Observation

It seems like in chat, spelling goes completely down the toilet! I've been chatting for over 5 years, and I've seen some words butchered pretty good. Must be because people think that since chat is such an informal setting, you can be lax on matters like spelling. I had a fewEnglish teachers that would probably have heart attacks if they ever came into cc1! :P

Yet Another Tale From My Childhood

When I was maybe 12 or 13, the Dr's decided to send me to the University Of Virginia Hospital to find out why I had stopped growing. Since it was in the middle of the worst year of my life, 8th grade, I dedided to take the week off and go there, even though I hate hospitals. What a mistake! First off, to get blood, they hooked me up to a needle for 7 hours striaght, with my arm restrained. When I was done, my arm was so stiff it felt like it was gonna crack when I flexed it out, and they had taken so much blood, I felt like someone had poured a couple of 6 packs into me! To make matters worse, the Dr. was a total asshole, giving me the shit about my weight! Damn, if I wanted that, I woulda stayed home and took my torture from school!

Another One From My Collection

Here's my 1923 $1 United States Note, The last of the Large Size Notes

Hometown Heroes!

The George Mason Patriots are headed to the NCAA Basketball Final Four! This little school, located in my hometown of Fairfax, VA, has knocked off the last 2 National Champions (North Carolina, Connecticut) , and now have a date with former National Runner up (Florida). How much longer can Cinderella keep going?

This Week's Spoiled Brat Award

Goes to Alfonso Soriano of the Washington Nationals. Because he doesn't want to move from second base to the outfield, Soriano refused to play in a Spring Training game last night. Come on dude! Earn your $10 million salary. Just be glad you have the talents to play Baseball!

OMG YOU GOTTA READ THIS

SLAPS HIMSELF FOR NOT RESETTING MY MESSENGER TO ACCEPT ONLY PMS FROM PEOPLE ON MY LIST :p

Weird Weather

85 one day, 35 the next....what is going on? Oh well, Spring is almost here!

Haircut Time!

Update on The Previous Post

My new Sunday School class went well! It was nice hanging with people in my own age group (even though it was only 3 of us) and I felt pretty comfortable, and did a lotta talking! I am going to do it again next Sunday!

A big break

Yesterday, I may have had a break in solving my shyness. Our Church has started a new Sunday School class for people in my age group, and I'm gonna try it out! Right now, I'm in one with older people, including my Dad, and I just don't feel like I'm able to talk about my concerns with them. It's nice hanging out with people who are in your age group, because I have a lot more in common with them then the older ones. Here's hoping I get something out of it!

Weight loss Update

Still stuck at 3 lbs! Dang, what am I doing wrong?

Spring Training

Spring Training is underway, a sure sign that Spring is almost here! I'm looking forward to seeing how my Baltimore Orioles do this year. They've added a few people this winter. Pitchers Kris Benson and Latroy Hawkins, Catcher Ramon Hernandez, 1st Baseman Kevin Millar, and Outfielder Cory Patterson were acquired in the offseason. The 2 questions left unasnwered are can 2nd Basemen Brian Roberts repeat his spectacular 2005 season, while recovering from a horrible elbow injury, and can Shortstop Miguel Tejada can regain the respect of the organization after his trade demands over the Winter.

Totally Disgusting!

I was watching a clip on CNN today about how Fred Phelps, the "Preacher" from Kansas, who is out to exterminate all gays, and his bunch are protesting at the funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq. These So Called Christians say that soldiers are being killed because the US allows gay people to live their lifestyle. I tell you, I was about ready to puch out the TV! Those idiots give all of us Christians a bad name. That takes some nerve interrupting a Funeral. Let the soldiers families and friends mourn in peace, for God's sake!

Presidents' Day

As a student of History, and expecially dealing with the Presidents, here are some random opininions of some of the Presidents, in no particular order.

Washington: He got the US off to a good start, had to make things up as he went.
J. Adams: How do you live up to your predecsssor, a Living Legend?
J.Q. Adams: Son of a Pres., won a election under dubious circumstances. Sound Familiar?
G.W. Bush: There is not enough words in the Human Language or enough space online for me
to voice the contempt I have for this idiot.
Clinton: Despite his faults, the man got things done!
G.H.W. Bush: I guess dumbness does run in the family!
Grant: One of our greatest generals, one of our worst Presidents.
Carter: Too much of a nice guy, should have been tougher.
Reagan: I think he was senile long before he left office!
Wilson: Who says Democrats can't win a war?
F.D. Roosevelt: He saved the U.S. more than a few times
Hoover: Like the Vacuum, he sucked!
Eisenhower: The anti-Grant.
Buchanan: Call him Nero, he did nothing while the Union fell apart.
Lincoln: Saved the country, but at a price.
Harding: Even Republicans fool around on their wives!
Taft: He's OK in my book, we fat guys have to stick together!
Pierce, Fillmore: Space fillers.
A. Johnson: The Clinton of his time: Southern Dem. marked for destruction by a hostile congress.
Hayes: What Dubya's presidency would be like if the Dems were in control of congress.
Kennedy: Too much of a playboy.
L.B. Johnson: Could have been a good one if not for Vietnam
Nixon: You were a crook, you idiot!
Jefferson: A genius
Madison: The little guy kept us from becoming British Colonies Again
T. Roosevelt: Even though he was a Rep., I'd vote for him. Today's Reps wouldnt like him since
he wanted to save the environment.
Coolidge: Gets points for being shy and quiet like me.
Jackson: Too much of a hothead
And that's just a few of em!

Whoops!

Note to self:

Next time you're invited into a voice conference with some of your Christian friends, Please turn off your Winamp if You're Listening to Damian on YCOR Radio!

Last night, I was listening to Damian Stryker, one of my fellow CORers, on our radio station. This dude is very insightful, and well researched on his topics. Unfortuanatly, his language could use a tune up, as every other word he says is the "F" word. Anyway, I was invited into a voice conference with a few of my christian friends while Damian was deep into his topic, I forgot to turn Winamp off, and needless to say, some of my friends were impressed, a lot of em left the conference.

What The US Is Heading To If Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Et al. Get Their Way

Theocracy:

A Government Ruled By Religion


Nuff Said! Even Though I am a Christian.

Bath Time

Isn't this cute? Here's Little Miss getting a bath today!

The Not So Superbowl

Last night's Superbowl was the most boring one I've ever seen! The action came in spurts, the Officials blew way to many calls, and even the commercials were no good! Actually I think
Seattle would have had a good chance to win if not for a few plays that were blatantly blown by the officials! This was not one to write home about.

Redemption

Well, after the fiasco that was my Presidency of the COR, I am back in a leadership position. 2 weeks ago, I was elected to the Board Of Commissioners. That is the group that makes the rules and policy of the group. I now know that I really wasn't ready for the presidency, but having 3 months sitting back as a "private" citizen, I've learned a lot. It takes a lot to run any group or business! Maybe next year...

Be Careful What You Wish For....

I bet Bush is kicking himself right about now for advocating Democracy in the Middle East. Iran has a President who wants to nuke us, and the Palestinian governement is now being run by a terrorist organization. Nice people, huh?

20 Years

I can remember what I was doing 20 years ago, the day the Challenger blew up. I was in DC with the Boy Scouts, visiting the Capitol. We stopped into the House chamber, and Tip O'neill was making a speech about the Astronauts that were lost. The US Space Program has lost 17 Men and Women in almost 50 years. I don't know if it's worth going into space, but as long as humans have that need to explore, we will keep on going into orbit!

Time For An Update

I think I'm going to be giving this blog an overhaul next week! I have a few blogs of my friends that I'd like to share with you, and some new links.

Dreams

Every month or so, I have the craziest dream! It always has something to do with me driving at very high speeds, trying to get back to my old house in VA. I know I'm homesick, but this is crazy!

Obsession

I think that maybe I'm too obsessed with losing weight, finding a Girlfriend, and making friends. I know I should be happy with myself, and maybe if I concentrated on that, I'll relax, be more open, and everything else will fall into place!

A Chance Squandared

A few years ago, there was a girl that went to my Church that I was really interested in. I sooo much wanted to talk to her, get to know her, and ask her out, but I just froze whenever I got up. Finally, the Sunday I finally got up the nerve to go for it, she moved away. I guess if you snooze, you lose!

A Simply Beautiful Day!!

The past 2 or 3 days have been totally wonderful! It's the middle of January, and it's been close to hitting 70 degrees! Even though it's not going to, I hope It stays nice for a while longer!

Payback!

Today, my Washington Redskins defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-10 in the first round of the NFL playoffs, avenging an earlier loss to the Bucs. It was the ugliest game I've ever watched. The Skins totaled only 124 yards of offence, setting a record low for a winning playoff team. It was truely a defensive effort. Next week Washington travels to Seattle to Face the Seahawks, top team in the NFC. In week 4, the Skins beat the Seahawks 20-17 in OT.

Tragedy In My Home State

It has been a very rough couple of days here in the State of West Virginia. I don't know what is more tragic, the death of those miners, or the miscommunication that allowed their families to think that 12 of the 13 survived. However, the opposite was true. At least we can be thankful that one of them survived, and is improving in the hospital!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone! My year's been fine so far:p My New Years' Resolutions are the same as last year, losing weight and finding a Girlfriend! I have a feeling that this will be a great year!

Talk About A Wet Dream!!

Last night, I was soooo exhausted that I fell asleep in my tub while taking a bath! I must have been out close to an hour. It's a wonder I didn't drown!

A Sample Of My Collection

Here's my 1914 Series Large Size $5 Federal Reserve Note!

What I got for Christmas

I made out pretty good for Christmas! Here's what I got:

$100

Battlestar Galactica Season 1 on DVD

6 models

Socks

A book

A picture of Baltimore's Camden Yards Ballpark

Lots of Candy


And last but not least, a nice pair of matched cuts and bruises on my elbows and knees from slipping on ice on the porch and taking a flier across the porch!

Merry Christmas To All My Readers!

Merry Christmas! I'll catch ya all in a couple of days!

Just Hanging out...

This is outrageous!

I am totally appalled, but not surprised by the news coming out that the President has authorized wiretaps of private citizens, without the approval of the courts! Have we been so frozen in terror that we are allowing the government to take away our right to privacy?

"Camping Out"

Today, I had to treat the first 6 hours of my day like I was camping out. The Electric Company had to turn the power off to my end of town to perform maintainance. So that meant no TV, computer, microwave, heat except for a kerosene heater, and not much to do but read. Kinda makes you think that maybe we depend too much on electrical devices....

Redskins scalp t he Cowboys

Today, my Washington Redskins totally defeated the hated Dallas Cowboys, 35-7. For the first time in 1o years, the 'Skins swept the season series. Next week, Washington hosts the NY Giants, hoping to avenge a 36-0 loss earlier in the season.

A Movie Coming Out Next Year That I Want To See

There's one movie coming out next year that I want to see: Ghost Rider. This movie is based on one of my favorite Comic Book Heroes! It stars Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze, motorcycle stuntman by day, flaming demonic agent of vengeance by night. I've seen a few clips of it, and it looks like it could be a great movie! It comes out in July.

GRRRR Part 2

I just got finished talking with a friend of mine telling em for the millionth time how his inlaws are bullies, and his wife will do nothing to back him up. This is getting quite boring! If you're not gonna do anythng about it, don't come bitching to me!

GRRRR Part 1

This weekend, I have been very frustrated. The phone lines around here are worthless. They have a hole in them somewhere, and when they get damp, like from the snow melting this weekend, they get all staticky, and you can't hear anything on the phone, or get online. We call the phone company and they come out and fix it (or so they say) but it still comes back. I wish I could lose weight fast enough so we could get DSL!

Christmas Shopping

Today I went to Maryland to do my Christmas shopping. I bought some books for my parents, and I'm gonna take some of their old tapes and make CDs of them. I'm not much of a shopper anymore, I dunno how women do it!

The Stupidest Stupid Crook

Today, While watching the news, I saw a story about the stupidest crook I've ever seen! This lady in Georgia hired a hitman to kill a family and steal what she thought was a block of Cocaine to sell to finance her modelling career. 2 problems though: The "hitman" was an udnercover cop, and the stuff wasn't a block of Cocaine at all, but a block of Cheddar Cheese! Dang!

My View On The Courts

After reading and watching all the hoopla about the openings on the Supreme Court, I have one thing to say:

The Law is not a Republican, Democratic, Christian, or Athiest thing! It applies to all people. Judges on all levels should leave their Political and Religious views at the Door when working. The Constitution of the US should be their guide, not the Bible, even though I'm a Christian.

Weight Loss Update

3 Lbs. down, 12-17 to go!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a nice day! Ours was great. It was just a nice quiet day at home with the parents. I am sooo glad of myself, I didn't pig out like I usually do, so the diet is intact!

Hunting Season

Here in West Va., today was the first day of Deer season. It sounded like a war zone outside! Non-stop shooting, trucks going up and down the road, and just all around racket. My poor dogs are scared stiff, they don't like loud noises. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the 2nd amendment. Guys, you need silencers!

This Is So Whack!

It's not even Thanksgiving yet, and already, they're playing Christmas music in the stores around here! That is totally crazy! It seems that We're starting to forget the signifigance of these holidays, and businsesses are exploting this.

Finally Feeling Like A Human Again

Today has been the first day in 2 weeks that I've felt good. My Stomach has finally calmed down, My head feels like it's all in 1 piece, and I have energy! Hopefully, I won't have a relapse, and all will be well for a while!

I Need Your Advice, Readers!

As I've told you before, I'm shy. Any ideas on how to combat this would be welcome!

A Really Sucky Day

Today was one of those rainy, damp, dark days that just suck the energy out of you! Combined with the fact that my stomach is still killing me, This has been one of those days where you just wanna curl up and go to bed, no matter what time it is!

Can't This Guy Just Shut Up?

Well Boys and Girls, Pat Robertson has spouted off again! The man who advocated the assasination of the President of Venezuela had now declared that God will no longer protect a town in Pennsylvania because members of the School Board who advocated the teaching of Intellegent Design in school were defeated for reelection. Robertson, Jerry Fallwell, and their cronies give Chrisianity a bad name, and I hearby declare that even though I'm a Christian, I don't think like they do!

My Christmas Wish List

I know that it's a bit early for Christmas shopping, but here's some things I'd like to get:

The New Battlestar Galactica Season 1 on DVD
Clothes
This year's Proof Set from the US Mint
An Ipod Shuffle
Any Ship or Aircraft model kit
Minutes for my Cell Phone
Books
And that old standby, Money! :P

TGIF

I am soooooo glad that today is Friday!! I need rest, I do not feel good, my stomach is killing me, and my head is doing flip flops. Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel better.

Victory!

My Beloved Democratic Party scored 2 big wins tonight. In my birthplace of Virginia, Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine Was elected Governor, and in New Jersey, Senator John Corzine was elected Governor. Hopefully, this is a portent of things to come in next year's Congressional elections!

Are You Sure It's November?

It was 80 here today. On the 4th of November, 80! That is really weird! usually, its only in the 40s or 50s by now. Anyway...I'm not gonna argue about it, I love this weather!

Total Discomfort

Yesterday, I had my 6 month appointment with my dentist. There was a new hygenist there, and he got to clean my teeth. OUCH! The guy was rough! My mouth bleed all day, and my teeth were a bit sore, but strangely enough, he got the job done.
