Here's The USS Gyatt, the destroyer my Dad served on in the late 50's-early 60's 

The Hole In The Wall

In our spare room, there is a hole in the wall. I put it there. Back in 1994, My parents got into one of their stupidest fights. This was the most violent one they've ever had. There were dishes thrown and broke, plants upturned, and the whole 9 yards. I was so upset and mad about it, I went into the back room, and ran my fist through the wall. The hole is still there to this day, and I have made myself a promise that if I ever get married or have a relationship, I will never get violent towards a woman. Violence is not in my nature.

Oh No Not Again!

I tell ya, this stupid tooth I've been telling you about is gonna be the death of me! Today, while biting into food, my temporary bridge disintigrated into a million little pieces. Man I was mad as hell! On Tuesday, I'm gonna call the dentist and see if my permanent bridge is in. I had the work done on the 9th, and the dentist said that I had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to heal where the tooth was pulled before the permanent one could be put in. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Bangs his head on the desk in frustration

Finally Finished!

We finally finished fixing up my room. It looks real nice! It now has a pretty blue carpet, and the floor feels a bit more sturdy. There's a lot more space, since I replaced my huge computer desk with an armoire, which is a fancy cabinet type thing. It's really nice, and leaves me with a lot more room. And my new bed is really great too, it's got a bookshelf on it, which let me get rid of one of my book cases. Now we're working on the hall.

Another Memory Of School

The worst Teacher I ever had was Mrs. Lesser, my 8th grade English teacher. She constantly humiliated me in front of the whole class because my handwriting was (and still is) horrible. I tried to do my best, but it never seemed to be good enough for her. I guess she hated me, because she never did that to any of the other kids in the class. Man, I was soooooo glad when I was through with her!

Star Wars Episode 3

Last night I went to the movies and saw Star Wars Episode 3. I loved it! The special effects were top notch, and the story line was well written. For those who havn't seen it yet, the climactic lightsaber duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi will probaly go down in history as the best action scene in movie history. It was sad seeing how the Emperor messed with Anakin's mind, leading to his transformation into Darth Vader. If you havn't seen this movie- SEE IT!!

Some Random "Why is its"

Why is it that:


When ever you go on a trip, the Sun is in your eyes both coming and going?

Some electronic devices and lunch meat come in plastic containers that you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to open?

Your car or other expensive items you own always go bad the day after the warrenty expires?


You can't sleep the night before you have to get up really early?


And there are probably others!

Here's Mom out back in her "jungle" 

Quite True

I was reading a post on my Christian Group this morning and I read a statement that applied very much to me. Here it is:

If you dwell on depressing thoughts....you will live a depressing life. If you

gravitate toward negative thoughts you'll gravitate toward negative people &

negative lifestyles.

Our thoughts also affect our emotions. We will feel exactly the way we think.

Life is What You make it

I've come to the conclusion that I am the ONLY person who can pull me out of the funk I'm in. Life is what you make it. You have 2 choices: You can either say "Things in my life are tough, so what? I'm gonna live life to the fullest, and enjoy the things that God has given me", or you can say "boo hoo, my life is a mess, no one likes me, what will I do?" I have decided to say the former!

On the Air!

The COR is considering starting up an internet radio station in order to get the word out about the group. We're going to be tossing around some ideas about what kind of programning to have, like music, talk, or any of the other stuff you find on a broadcast radio station. I've always wanted to be a DJ, so I'm volunteering! I'll let you all know what happens, and maybe one night, you can tune in and hear me spinning some tunes or shooting the breeze with a guest!

The Summer Of 85

This Summer will mark the 20th anniversary of what was probably the best Summer of my life. First off it was good because I finished serving my time in that hellhole known as Luther Jackson Intermediate School, and got some of those idiots off my back. Next, it was the first Summer I spent a lot of time away from home. I spent about a month up here in West VA. with my sister and her family, went to Boy Scout Camp, and when I was home, My Dad and I usually spent Saturdays out riding the roads. Ahh those nights of staying up all night just to hear a certain song on the radio and tape it, the trips to the library to hang out, the trek every Friday night to the record store, and a lot of other things. The only 2 blemishes on that Summer were that I had to go into the hospital for surgery in July, and when it ended, I started High School. those were the days!

Controlling my temper

Something that really pisses me off is when someone comes up to me while I'm out in public and someone calls me "maam" You see, because I'm fat, I have fat where a guy shouldn't
have it. IE: I have boobs.You don't know how many times people have done that to me and I've wanted to throttle them. For God's sake people, look closely at my face, listen to my voice, I'm A GUY DAMMIT!!! I swear, next time someone does that to me, I'm gonna pull my pants down and give them positive proof of my gender!

Here's the hole in my floor. What a mess! 

Here's our Dogs! Aren't they cute? 

If I Knew When I Was A Kid What I Knew Now....

I'd be rich! When I was a kid, I had all the Star Wars, Star Trek, GI Joe, and Shogun Warriors toys. These days, examples of these toys in good shape are worth a lot more that what you originally payed for them. Back then, toys were made to be played with, and I played them to death. Dang! :P

Moving Day

My Dad looked at the floor in my room last night and yes, there is a hole in it. Sooo, as soon as I'm done with this, I'm going to start moving stuff out of this room, and move into the spare room while repairs are being made. I've already started getting some things together , and wow, I didn't realize how much stuff I have!

Religion And Politics

I am totally outraged with the news that a preacher made members of his church who didn't support Bush leave. This goes to show you how close our country is getting to becoming a theocracy. I am a Christian, Democrat, and a Bush hater, and if my preacher ever made me leave because of my political views, I would never step into a church again. The religious right is getting to much power in our society. It's ok for a preacher to have politcal views, but when you start forcing them on your congregation, that's something totally innaprorpriate!

Funny Quote Of The Day

From a lawyer on Court TV:

If Michael Jackson isn't a pedophile, then Jeffrey Dahmer had a eating disorder.

Haircut Time!!!
