When in a restaurant, you get a baked potato, and they feel the need to use a fecking Ice cream scooper to apply butter in the split baked potato.
Who the fuck needs that much freaking butter? No wonder Heart Disease is the #1 killer in America.

Listen to this podcast
I know I may have already posted this, but one of my podcasts (Coolshite) spoke of a scary future in America. It reminded me of this podcast. You must listen to it. It is a great story.
Anyway, if things go wrong tomorrow (the unknown road ahead) I will be bitching and complaining very loudly here tomorrow.
Goodnight.

I used to run a series of posts titled "Some people do not deserve to live" well there are some people out there that do not deserve a brain.
ABC Video
I really feel sorry for the girl. Some people are so ignorant though. And that Manager definitely has a few brain cells missing. And WTF was that guy thinking? He must have thought he was getting lucky. A big thanks to Big Brother for catching the weird dude.
Found this originally on Coolshite forums. I remember hearing on WRKO about the Wendy's incidents.

Bush/Clinton Katrina Fund
In honor of the unleashing of Google Ads onto this blog. (not many people look at it anyway) I will write a post regarding the first ad I saw after republishing. It is a link to the Bush/Clinton Kartina Fund. I think its great that both guys can come together in order to help people in need. I liked the fact that they did so after the Devastating Tsunami of 26 Dec 2004. And I am so glad they came together for this Hurricane Katrina disaster.
So many disasters this year. They had an earthquake in Pakistan which received little or no (slow) aid. More people perished in that horrible accident. Most Americans are oblivious to this event and how many people did die. Almost a disbelief of the reported numbers.
Anyway that's my post about it.

On to blogging
Well I havent reported that we have moved, (1 OCT) and also I got a new job. The job is ok, not in anyway related to my skills. But anyway its a job and it pays the bills. I work in an auto manufacturing plant not in assembly, but with the Production Control dept. I work as a temp which is annoying cause there is no health coverage. It pays very meagerly as well. But anyway its just something for now.
Halloween came and went and we had about 300 kids coming by in our new neighborhood. I can't believe it. I saw lods of parents driving around in cars etc. It kind of pissed me off cause these people werent even from this neighborhood, but We were going to give out the candy anyway. We were out by 7pm or so. We took Daniella out to family. Drove her to 3 different places. Which is a bit odd in my opinion. My oldest memories of Halloween is of me walking around the neighborhood in which we lived. Its not an odd concept. I mean, why are there about 300 kids we don't know knocking on our door? I remember hospitals offering to x ray candy and fruit, cause there was some sick fuck putting razor blades etc in apples. (1982)
Anyway, the weather has finally gotten cooler here and I am glad for it. I hate hearing people around here bitch and moan about how cold it is (40º F) please! Last year they got 1cm of snow here. Whereas in Boston last winter we got about 60 inches. Right now, at 0933 its 71º F! Nice and it will save on the power bill. I love the winters here but I hate the summers.
I don't really have time to update this often. I leave for work at 0730 and don't get home until 1700. Then its evening dinner time, family time etc. Until Daniella goes to sleep. And then I am trying to listen to my podcasts. But I am taking my iPod to work now. Keeping it with me at all times in my pocket. I can listen to it in the office, but not out on the floor. I believe I am all caught up now. Sunday Night Safran is not on now until 2006. Its just Adam Curry cause his a daily show.
Thats about it really.

Listen cunts. Whatever robot or program you have running to post comments on my blog, kill it now. I hate getting emails showing a new comment that I can't find.
I got a nice website to give you some ideas of what you are serving on a daily basis.
Quit spamming me you cunts! I am not even in Texas, and Even if I was I wouldn't use your stupid service. So lick my gooch!
Look at this unprofessional website.
Here is the big deal, I am getting a shitload of comments posted on this blog they are all the exact same thing from some ad bot. Example in my inbox:

My music likes / dislikes
Its all very simple.
I like all forms of music, I discovered this today while I was driving to my dentist's appointment listening to 91.1 FM. I like all forms rock. I don't like some classic rock, like that stupid ass live concert song that seems to go on and on and on for 10+ minutes, and that stupid ass Bye bye Miss American Pie bullshit. I do like metal, and alternative etc.
Like all forms of rap EXCEPT that stupid shitty dirty south bullshit. I cannot fucking stand that shit. East coast and west coast and midwest rap is fine. But that stupid same old ass high beats and stupid repetitive lyrics are really annoying. You know the type, like the music featured in the film "Hustle and Flow" That shit is stupid as hell.
OK now that I have said my piece regarding rap, I will mildly say that I can't really listen to country either. Never really liked it. I can't help but wanting to puke when I hear a song like "Redneck yacht club" ANd I bet you are probably thinking "well if you don't like it, don't listen to it." Nice but sometimes I am forced to listen to it because of the people in the office listening to it.

Got some new podcasts I listen to now. (not really enough time to do so but I try) I wish I could make one and it really isn't that hard to do so, but I just haven't got the time to do it now.

Search Logs
Been getting a fuck load of Search words including "Natalie Holloway" lately. I thought I would drudge it up again cause I last complained about it here.
I came across a very funny funny op/ed about it that I totally agree with enjoy.
In case the link dies I will repost the text here using a quotation (don't freakin' sue me ok? I think your Op/Ed is a bit of gold I won't even include the whole thing here)

Does the name "Natalee Holloway" ring a bell?
If you follow the news media in the United States, particular the 24-hour cable stations, it certainly ought to. On the other hand, if you've been living in a cave for the past month or so, here are the highlights: Natalee Holloway is an 18 year-old girl from Alabama who vanished on May 30th from the island of Aruba, where she was vacationing with some of her classmates to celebrate their high school graduation. Based on the amount of coverage that this story has received from the national media (Fox News in particular), one must draw the conclusion that this is a Very Important Issue, and that all Americans should care very deeply and personally about it.
I must confess that I do not.
Now, before I get called a heartless bastard, let me hasten to point out that I agree that this story is tragic. Natalee's family and friends have doubtless been going through hell during this past month. I do hope that she can be recovered safe and sound, though that possibility seems very remote at this point. If I were the King of the World, I would snap my fingers and instantly transport every missing person back to the safety of their families. But what makes Natalee Holloway more important than, say, Reyna Alvarado-Carerra?
In the United States alone, more than a million people are reported missing each year. The majority of these cases involve minors. The majority of those cases are runaways, but there are also significant numbers of abductions at the hands of both relatives and strangers. This brings us to the case of Reyna Gabriella Alvarado-Carerra.
Have you ever heard of her?
I certainly hadn't until I started doing research for this story. Reyna is a 13 year-old Hispanic girl who is believed to have been abducted by a stranger in Norcross, Georgia. She was abducted just a few weeks before Holloway. A Google search on her name yields a grand total of 6 results.
The same search for "Natalee Holloway" turns up 276,000 results.
But Natalee doesn't just get more Google search results. She's getting airtime, baby. As I mentioned in the intro, American news outlets are awash with a veritable cornucopia of Natalee fever. She also gets assistance from the Dutch Marines and special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who apparently already have enough resources at work battling mundane things like terrorism.
Here's the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, and the reason I am writing this treatise: CNN is now reporting that Holland is sending three F-16 warplanes to assist in the search for Natalee. I was given pause by thinking about the sheer cost of this endeavor. My brother-in-law is a recruiter for the Air National Guard, and I have a rough idea of how much money it costs to even get one of those things off of the ground. How much do you suppose is being spent to equip these planes with the special search equipment and then actually get them to Aruba?

Podcasts
I have been listening to these podcasts since the Spring, I discovered that I have really been missing out. I used to slag off Adam Curry but his Daily Source Code podcast is really great. His promotion of the Podsafe music network is great also. Cause the Podsafe Music network is nothing short of revolutionary. This is one huge network of people from around the world very grassroots. The anti pop music and anti monopoly and anti industry. Totally up my alley. The podcasts listed here are alphebetical but my favorites are Cool Shite on the tube (meaning to donate to those guys soon) and I have a new favorite, Adam Curry. I listen to them in the car, also while doing my night office cleaning job. I must say that the iPod is the best $300 I ever spent. Well worth it. I always delete the old shows (up on my limit for space).
Just wanted to put the word out to the few people reading this.

Avatar Update
Well I have decided on a new avatar at the 3 boards I visit and I was looking at it, it looks like an excellent piece of art. I never expected it to be. It was Sept. 1997 and I was riding with a group of guys to Skagway, AK to run in a relay race. Its called the Klondike Road Relay This photo was taken near Koidern, YT on the way down. Really excellent photo.

30
Well Tomorrow is my 30th birthday. I have nothing planned except maybe a meal out. I have been working so hard this week I haven't really had time to do anything. I have not had the opportunity to comment on the hurricane or its after effects either. Its hard to believe I have been at this blogging thing for a year already. Of course there have been huge gaps in my posts though. Anyway, I have so far gotten one present from Ashley which is a Casio GW300A -1V Atomic solar G shock. Which is the best watch I have ever owned. I love it. It doesn't need a battery replacement and it never needs to be set.
Got to cut this short cause I have to get ready for work again.
