Approval Shmapproval

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Remember back not too long ago when we went to Iraq to rid the country of Saddam and his WMDs?, and then, oops!, there were none? Or remember when he said that we were there to liberate Iraq and bring them freedom and democracy? That one lasted for a while. But now he’s said what we’ve all known this was really about…oil. He said the other day that, “If Zarqawi and bin Laden gain control of Iraq, they would create a new training ground for future terrorist attacks; they’d seize oil fields to fund their ambitions; they could recruit more terrorists by claiming an historic victory over the United States and our coalition.” So we’re really there to keep the oil fields from falling into the wrong hands. I think everyone knew that to begin with…why did he have to come up with ridiculous excuses for going over there? With his approval rating at an all time low (45%), it seems a lot of the people who said “W 04!” have since changed their minds about his agenda. To all those people, “Told ya so.”

From now on we should stop saying pre-9/11 and post-9/11 and replace it with pre-George W. Bush and post-George W. Bush.

I’ll bet that in the post-George W. Bush society, we’ll have less terrorism, cheaper gas prices, less global warming, a bull market, and free helper monkeys for everyone. I can’t wait!!

Innovative and Useful Idea

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

I was driving home tonight and had this idea that I think would be a goodun. I’m always having to answer my phone and push 6 whenever someone comes over and has to use the little boxy deal to open the gate. I want to automate this process. I think cell phones should have a scripting language you can use to do various stuff on the phone. Like pre-process calls. So you could write a little script to say on ring, check the number; if the number is x, do the following (like answer and input 6). So as long as my phone was on, it would automatically let people in the gate. This seems like a really simple idea that I think people (like me) could make a good use of. It’s already sort of part of the way there; for example, having a different ring for each person. This is just taking that one step further. So just give me a little API to a scripting engine on the phone that I can use to auto open the gate. That’s all I’m asking.

Roger. Over and out.

Google’s finally come out with their messaging service, Google Talk. I believe, if you’ll remember back a few years, I said Google should totally make an IM client. They finally listened to me! So we’ll see how this is; hopefully it’ll be good and it’ll catch on to give AOL some competition.

To the douche or douches who keep posting stupid crap asking us to please visit dumb poker websites:

Who exactly are you trying to get through to? The eleven people who read this blog? Are those eleven people really going to make a difference. I’d put money on the fact that everyone would rather kick you in the teeth than go to your website. I’m asking you to give me some good reasons as to why you’re posting this stuff? Is it your job? Do you honestly really like these poker websites? What is it? If you can give me just one good reason, I might stop deleting them. But I bet you can’t. I sincerely hope you realize that no one gives a crap about your poker website. Same goes for you, “please buy my medicine” douche.

I’m sure I could find enough people who’d join together to hunt you people down and cut you.

New Design!

Monday, August 15th, 2005

I’ve been thinking about a site redesign for a while now, and I think I’ll do it. I’ve had this design for over a year, so I figure it’s time. If anyone has any totally sweet ideas that they’d like to see, I’m all ears. It’ll be totally different looking than this layout, that I can guarantee.

If you didn’t see the news post on the front, I’ve compiled a list of every movie I’ve ever seen and a rating from 1 to 5 that I’ve given it.

It’s Official. My Biggest Pet Peeve

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

I have officially decided on what my biggest pet peeve is. And it’s not smoking, as some of you might think. But that’s a definite second. So here it is….my biggest peeve.

People who flake out on other people for no good reason.

What’s up with people asking you to do things and then not doing them? It’s like me asking someone to go to the movies at 7:30. Then I’m not gonna show up and the person will just try and call me to find out where I am. Later, when they’re like, “Hey, what the hell happened?” I’d be all like, “Oh, I saw the 5:30 showing.” It’d be nonchalant too, like it was a totally socially acceptable thing to do. Meanwhile the person would stand there with their mouth agape being dumbfounded at what you just said…they would then promptly proceed to flip out because that’s just not right.

If it’s not tomorrow, it’s probably too early to sleep.

These woods are extremely dark and deep
said the lion to the sheep

Baa replied the sheep in quaint retort,
With haste, we must travel to the heliport!

Our copter is all black and shiny
though I really thought it’d be less tiny!

We’ll have to fly it upside down
alright, but why’s it yellowish-brown?

I dunno I guess it’s camo.
But we’re in Ontario!

I could understand if it was green and yellow…
Oh! I’m going to be a teaching-fellow.

Are you really?! That is neat!
Now check out this acrobatic feat.

If you don’t stop I’m going to hurl.
I’m going to be an au pair girl.

I plan to learn the French and stuff.
Sure sure, I believe that you do bluff.

Believe me, else I’ll cut you fool
Or maybe I’ll just drown you in the pool!

You sir, are raving mad
You should place a wanted ad.

Single white sheep seeking same
Looking to set my heart aflame.

It’d be freakin’ sweet and you’d be lucky
If you’d also move to Kentucky.

It’d be also neat if you liked fried chicken
Especially the kind that needs some finger lickin’

The Colonel’s logo is Venetian red
He ain’t real, I say you he dead!
