New mp3otw. Possibly a new one up Thursday, too. Weekend was boring, however, I did get my niece, Sarah, to laugh at me by talking in a lucifer voice by chance. I was making all kinds of plane noises, and car noises, and whistles: nothing. Then I get crazy with the voices, stumble across a voice that could be interpreted as the dark lord, and the kid goes nuts, laughing, smiling and giggling. Interesting stuff. Hockey game was fun, but alas, we tied. As you can see on the right there. Anyhow, I almost got in a fight. Someone took a ripper to the goal, and it bounced down in front of the goalie, and he fell on it but didn't know if he had it or not. I could sense this, so I just started hacking away at under his arm in case it happened to be there. While this move isn't considered polite or gracious by any right, we were playing the Red Army, better known as your cousin who lites snap-pops on fire and throws them at you when you're only 6. They had been doing the same to our super-star goalie, Ruben (34 shots on goal, only 4 got by), all game. So I hacked my little heart away until the whistle was blown, and one of the defensemen for Red Army takes a chump shot at my chest and knocks me back as my stick flies out of my hand. I quickly turn to approach the guy with the fire of Mozambique in my eyes, and skate toward him so he can punch me again and get a penalty, but my boy Jeff C holds me back like in a high school movie with a moral. It was pretty awesome. Weston was quoted as saying, "At that moment, I felt like your gay life-mate and some stranger was hitting on you. I was half a second from taking that guy out." Its good to have such good teammates. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "I'm bleeding to death. Humor me."
I had somewhat of a revelation today. I was running 4 miles again (go me) and I had headphones hooked into my PDA which was providing me with upbeat, motivational music that I could not, for the life of me, run to because the tempos were too weird But the real problem is that the headphones (earbud style) kept falling out and weren't loud. I had them in wrong. Yes, ever since I first wore earbuds, I have always had them in wrong. Thats like 8 years or something. I have them facing through my brain to the other side, but your supposed to put them so they face the nubby thing by your sideburns, like almost forward. I feel stupid for the last 8 years. I went to my friend Gwen's going away party tonight (she is moving to New York for her job) and met a lot of cool people. Gwen was both on her game tonight, as well as completely wasted, a feat not easily mastered. She was talking to 80 people at once, sharing her love, and making up stories about brides and grooms and things that were just ridiculous, but being serious. It was quite fun and a sight to behold. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "He tells people he's named after a gun, but I know he's named after a famous 19th century ballet dancer. "
(1)Shelley and Schizawn--No more javascript errors; (2) 3 more moths flew out of my car tonight None of you know this, but the new version of blogger is implemented today, so its a nice change for me. Its pretty. Secondly, I just want to thank everyone for commenting so much. Like I have said before, I have low self esteem because I hate myself and you guys sure are helping it be better. Oh, and I probably wont be on AIM tomorrow during the day, just to let you know. So, last night I read this website. I have no idea why it is so powerful, but Today, it was all I could think about. This guy is amazing. He's a freak, but an amazing freak. Point being, without necessarily wanting to, I think that the website has motivated me to get in shape and start working out and stuff (I don't need the same diet tho, my metabolism is better than his and I don't want to be as ripped as he is). I thought it was just me getting these visions of grandeur, but tonight, I sort of sporadicly went for a run. I ended up running for 4 miles (I know this because tonight I drove my route and it was 4 miles on the 'ole odometer checker [Honestly it was like just above 3.9 miles]). Anyhow, I had no idea that I could do this. I started at about 9:10 and ran for nearly 45 mins with only taking a 3 min walking break. For those who are familiar with my area, I ran from 38th and Federal down 38th to Lowell, Down to Regis (53rd), across to Federal, back up to my house. When I got near home, I decided that just to kick myself in the balls a little, I'd also run around my block, which I did, and Sprinted back halfway through (editors note: sprinting at that point is equivalent to 1/8th the regular speed of a running human being). I got home and had to goto the bathroom more than I ever had, as I had just had a salad from McDonald's, plus a McChicken, and 3 cookies before the run. Note to readers: do not eat before running 4 miles when you have never ran 4 miles for the hell of it. Anyhow, this post is too long, and boring, but I have felt great all night and hope to continue running every day. You should try it too, it feels great. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- 2 quotes, same movie, not together "It's better to help people than garden gnomes" "She has one friend, Blubber. Alas the home environment has made Blubber suicidal"
Looks like the electrocution story bombed. Too bad because I thought it was good. I finally got a haircut after too long of playing the role of Ronald McDonald's brother with brown hair, Hank. And tonight I watched a good portion of Comedian, a documentary about Jerry Seinfeld and other stand up comics. Its pretty interesting. Gives a look into the business and its pretty damned funny. For those concerned about Duane "Dog" Chapman, who you may have read about on Matt's site a few days ago, I have an update. I saw the last part of Dateline tonight, and it turns out that "the Dog" is now out of jail, but awaits trial for his unlawful mexican behavior of bounty hunting. We can only hope that, while the act may have been illegal, his intentions were of the most righteous nature. By the way, the guy Dog caught, is an idiot. This guy successfully gets his location tracking collar off of him and fleas to Mexico. Good idea (being that he has a 128-year sentence to serve). But instead of hiding, this guy goes to these tourist cities and surfs, and makes friends with all the tourists while there, even though his picture is on the FBI's wanted list. Bad idea (being that he has a 128-year sentence to serve). He also is keeping a Journal of the encounters of the women he raped and, among other things, plus a "revenge" list with names of everyone who had a hand in his conviction. If I was fleeing from the law, I'd bust it down to Mexico, then hop a flight to Finland or Iceland (any one of the 'land countries would do, except Greenland because of those damn intolerable Eskimo's) and find a girl named Selka or Finunu and play house for the rest of my life. Sure as hell beats occupying a room that serves as your bedroom, family-room, and bathroom for 128 years. But don't get me wrong, I'm glad that piece of trash was caught, and even more glad that the Dog was the one to take him down. (p.s. If you're interested in joining the unofficial Dog Disciples Fan Club, contact Matt) -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- -"We have you down for a queen." ... -"What are you suggesting.. my dear man"
I was talking to Lance after work yesterday, discussing the post-modern political influence on neo classicalism in the late 1900's and somehow I fell asleep, I have no idea when. I woke up at 9:30 and freaked out. I started throwing on work clothes and then realized it was dark outside, and that it was in fact 9:30 pm. That sucked. I was at CB and pots tonight and there was this guy there from Santa Fe who had just moved here to be with his girlfriend, named Matt. He was a way cool guy and was asking JL and I if there were any cool places to go around the area. Because he was in Superior/Broomfield, I had to reveal that no, in fact, there wasn't any cool places in the area. He told us that in Santa Fe it was always scary because people would pull out guns at bars all the time, like, not gangster style, but wild west style. As we were talking (this was just after you left, Leah), this guy across the bar just dropped to the floor like a soggy meatball. Everyone went over to see what happened and crowded around him. Apparently, he was playing with one of those tazer, like the kind you can buy at security stores, and shocked the hell out of himself. The only problem was that when he went down, his hands were still grasping the trigger thing or whatever, so when someone went to help him up, the helper guy got zapped too. So now we have this guy lying on the floor who is being shocked by this tazer, and no one can help him. just then, the bartender drops a bottle of 151 and some of it spills over the side of the bar and the guy bursts on fire, along with several onlookers. People are screaming, and burning, and such, so Jason, this Matt kid, and I decide that appropriate action is needed. All three of us pick the guy up and start carrying him to the kitchen (keeping in mind that now we are on fire too while being electrocuted, plus I have this blister on my left foot that is killing me). We take him into the back and throw him in the dishwasher and close the hatch. He didn't survive, but if you ask me, he lived longer, and died more pleasantly because of our efforts three. The manager thought it was pretty cool, so she bought us each a PBR on the house. As we were telling the story to the people who were around us, Matt got this funny look in his eyes like he had a really good idea, but then he exploded. And then I exploded. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!"
Lost the hockey game as you can see. boo. Good weekend tho. It was Weston's 22nd birthday and he had a fun party. I talked for like a half hour with these two girls. One of them was from Austria, and the other was from france. Because I'm me though, nothing came of it except a good conversation. Tonight, before the hockey game, I ran in the house to get my equipment, and Jason and Nick were standing outside the house. As I was running up the stairs, these kids drove by and threw some fireworks at Jason and Nick, which went off and popped and such. I didn't think too much of it, but win I came outside again, the car was at the end of the street and was on fire. Apparently, when they threw the fireworks outside, not all of them made it and some started going off in the car. Because of the fire, a girl jumped out of the car as it was still going 20 or so and rolled down the street while the driver romped on the breaks and ran out of the car yelling. The fire burned the entire back seat before it went out, and as we were driving away past them, we saw a burning hat on the side of the road. It was priceless. We were going to ask why they threw the fireworks at us, but we just couldn't stop laughing. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- [suggested by Jenni] "On the run from Johnny Law. Ain't no trip to Cleveland."
Sorry I'm posting late. I am at work, so this will be fast. Last night, my team here at work planned on comming in early-ish today because we have to demo our product. At the end of work yesterday, I declared that we would have a 2nd grade style work party with little hats, and food and stuff. I said I would buy doghnuts. A co-worker suggested that Bagels might be a better choice, as they are somewhat better for one's health. Yet another co-worker suggested cocktail bagels with butter and cinnamon and sugar. I suggested doughnuts again. After talking about other stuff, everyone went home. Now the question was, do I need to buy something? If so, what. it was a tough call because there was never a consensus. So, I decided to not buy anything at all bvecause of said reason, and because by the time I was driving to work, everyone else was allready there. In heinsight, I probably should have bought something, but If I bought doughnuts, someone would be dissappointed, and if I bought bagels, someone else would have been dissappointed, so I decided to not buy any. Now I'm at work, and getting ripped on by my co-workers and manager. I feel like complete crap because of it. Everyone's dissappointed in my performance, or lack there of. Seriously tho, I feel like crap. Chalk one up for the oblivious intern. ***UPDATE** I just got back from lunch, with this message running as my screensaver marquee: "You can always count on Mark ... Capt'n Dependable ... >:-|". Glad my superiors appreciate me.... -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "You're the man now dog."
After doing a relatively funny and entertaining post, I'm gonna drop the bomb with this. Got my PDA tonight, and it rules. There are many programs out there that look to be really cool. If you have a PDA, Pocket PC, why don't you go ahead and share the cool stuff you have on yours... Its tough getting up for work. I suppose its because I goto bed this late. I think Tylenol PM is in order to get me back on schedule. Nothing like drugs to make you regular again, right folks? -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- [p.s. I'm taking suggestions on the quotes, so IM me] "I'm my own best friend!"
Nick and I are driving home tonight on I-25 South Bound, and if you were in the denver-metro area last night, you know what the rain was like (...lots of it). So, everyone on the highway is going like 55 or 60 and its kinda tough to see. Turns out there is a stalled car on the highway. With its lights out. Abandoned. In the center lane. You can't see it until your within 75' of it, so I had to slam on my breaks and swerve into the left lane of which, luckily, no one was next to me. At this point, Nick decides he better inform the authorities, so he calls 411. They Pick up: Nick: "I need the number for westminster police." Information: "Okay. Uh...would you like the emergency number?" [I'll wait while that sinks in...................] Nick: "No. Just give me the police number." Does he need the emergency number? Are you kidding? Oh, crap, yea, I need the emergency number because I forgot about 911. You were the first thing that came to mind when I just got stabbed half to death in an alley. Information, helping in emergency situations all across colorado, and our great nation. I'm wondering what would have happened if he said yes: "Thank you. Here is that number.... ~ 9 - 1 - 1 ~. To be connected immediately, for an additional $1.25, please press three, now." -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- (let me know if you need hints) "Wow. Holy Smoke, crash landing"
UPDATE: This video is the best Star Wars fan film I have seen in a long time, I recommend you watch it. Happy Flag Day! (saturday) : I hope everyone got their flags out and played with it for no less than 15 mins on saturday, as this was, I think, the best flag day to date. Happy Fathers Day (sunday) : To my wonderful dad who had already bought the present that I was gonna buy him, and to My brother on his first father's day. Happy Birthday Julie (monday) : I hope you got the laptop alright and are reading this page on you super 1337 DSL connection. I went to Kelly's party on friday, and it was a helluvalotta fun. It was, however, the first time I had ever been forced to leave by the cops. Fun included the 'dance hallway' and 'I know nothing about your life, and you know everything about mine' discussion with Leah. Let it be noted, also, that every time Leah comments from now on, I will personally respond to and I ask all of you to do the same, to make her feel more at home, being all the way up there in Boulder. Saturday I had a blast losing $60 in my first gambling experience in BlackHawk with Maggie. At the end of the day, we went from $20 to $95 on the dollar slots, but Maggie decided that pushing the button 20 times was worth the $95, so we went home with nothing. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "____________________________________" (hint: the movie had to do with a ball)
I am at my parents house, and My mother is babysitting Sarah (my niece). This is the first time that Sarah has been away from both of her parents, and I can only hope they are having a great time at the Rapid's game. Since she is being fussy right now, my mom figured we could get a few firsts out of the way. This is both Sarah's first time typing a document, and this is also the first thing that Sarah has published to the web. So, without further ado: Thats some good work.
There are all kinds of crazy talks going on in terms of the living situation currently. Heres the scoop. If Nick gets a better job (one that allows him to work over 20 hours a week), we will continue to live together, although not here. If he does not get a job, he will have to live with the 'rents until he gets a job, meaning not with me. Jason seems very interested in living with me and, if applicable, Nick. Weston seems to want to move out, but the question there is motivation. He doesn't like many things about his living situation, but at the same time, its pretty cushy. So, the possibilities are: [N+M+J+W], [N+M+J], [M+J+W], [M+J], M does something else. There is a house that I have been lusting after for over a year now on 42nd & Quitman, that would be the ideal situation, no matter who I'm living with, but its a longshot, and I really need to keep my hopes down for it. Here is my post when I first looked at the house in June, 2002 [archive]: "...One was on 42nd and Quitman, and after looking at and in it (which dave did not show up for), Nick and I decided that it was a really kickin' place to live. It was a 3 bedroom, no car hole, two story with an entirely finished basement. 3 bedroom and the smallest of the bedrooms was a little bigger than the one I'm in now and the largest of the bedrooms was about over 4 times the size of the one I am in now. $950/month...awesome deal." I think I am going to knock on their door and ask if they are planning on moving out to confirm any feelings I have for the place. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Why do I want to win?

After some guidance by way of research on my brother's part, I believe I will be investing in a PDA come payday this Friday. The PDA in question is the Dell Axim X5. Heres the deal. Ive wanted a Pocket PC PDA for a couple of years now, and this one I can get for $160 (plus, now I'm actually making money.) Aside from it being a Dell, and it being ugly, It has Windows Pocket PC OS, both CF and SD memory cards (SD cards are *cheap* and could be used for memory, while CF slot is good for accessories, such as 802.11b wireless internet), plus Windows Media Player for mp3s and vids, voice recorder, rechargeable battery, and other goodness. The only negative user reviews complain about support, but the last time I called someone for tech support, it was because the little door on my 5-1/4' drive bay was stuck, and I wanted to take Dig-Dug to my friends house because he just made a fresh batch of Cool-Aid....and got a new slammer. However, I need help from you, my loyal readers. If you have a PDA tell me what you use it for on a day to day basis, and if you don't have one, tell me whether or not you think its worth it. UPDATE: Check out kottke.org today. funny stuff. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Greg, you might know it as 'hopa'."

Congratulations to my buddy Randal who got his article posted on slashdot. That is quite the accomplishment, in my book, and I couldn't be more proud of the 'lil tyke. If I were him, that would go straight to my resume. Unfortunately, I am not him. I was thinking today that surfers must feel pretty lucky that we have the moon. Speaking of 'the moon', I have been trying to figure something out for quite a while. How come the earths moon is called "the moon", and not something cool? That would be like having a wife and referring to her always as "that woman." Of course she's a woman, but her name is what uniquely identifies her among an array of other women. If every person only knew their life-mate as "that woman", it could cause our society to start acting more like a cesspool of pseudo-monogamous, obliviously-swinging partners who worshiped copper pennies instead of eachother. But I digress... Why can't our moon have a name like Io, Europa, Ganymede, or Callisto. We get stuck with the name of "moon". Stupid moon. All its good for is Gravitational-pull keeping earth in alignment, making oceans have waves, and an easily reproduceable backdrop for a low budget broadcast in order to give the impression of technological advancements in our nations space program, thus gaining social, and scientific superiority over 'second-class' countries while fooling the general public by selling them this false hope and inspiration that will only lead to disbelief and denial once the fraud is unveiled raising a pandora's box of shame on our nations integrity only to cause a media frenzy that will be incomparable to anything O.J. ever did, or did not do. Stupid moon. Oh, and "Mars Rover"? Thats a load of crap. (P.S. comments are being a little stupid right now, so you might have to refresh (F5) ten times before you see them, but please do comment because it helps my heart feel good) -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Don't be that guy"
Quite the weekend. Friday there was a party at Jeff G's house in Centenial. Good times. Then Saturday night Todd and Tyler, and all of us went to Johney Corrino's where Weston was working and got ssome brews. We then poped over to Dave & Busters for some hardcorps videogame action. We ended up losing our hockey game last night. JL played with us because hes nowe on our team. We played really well, but Ican only blame our loss on the lack of players we had. The biggest gap was that of one Matt Brozovich who decided to not show up because he was to busy getting back from a fun and relaxing few days in the Big Easy. I can understand how casually drinking and looking at bare breasts can be demanding, matt. I don't blame you for not showing up, causing us to lose. Today is the first day I am drinking coffee at work, and I think it is a trend that will only continue throughout my days here at IHS. Now all I need os an Acquired coffee mug. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Don't stand in the way of my actualization as a man."
I was just thinking how funny it was that there was all this hype over the matrix, and they spent just shy of 130mill to make it, and by week2, Bruce Almighty was No1. Good, good stuff. Went to 3dogs tonight with Jason and Heidi which turned out to be a blast surprisingly. Topics discussed included chicken wings, toilet paper, and fat girls. The MTV Movie awards let me down. They let me down good and hard. Bad hosts, bad spoofs, bad performances. 3 things convinced me that it wasn't a complete waste of time though: 1)Kirsten Dunst, twice; 2)Vince Vaughn as the ass consultant, and; 3)Andy Richter as the PA guy who helped Keanuneau say his word. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K"
Hopefully, the new version of blogger will be out soon so you wont have to deal with any javascript errors, or the "would you like to debug?" box. I am looking foreword to the MTV Movie Awards tomorrow night when I get off work. They always seem to be a good time for all, and I laugh when they make a funny joke. Some things I decided today: -If I could be entertained all the time, 24/7, I would choose to go that route. However, since things that entertain me get boring after a while, they would have to be constantly changing. For instance, If I constantly had things to keep me entertained.These things would be like: problem solving with people other than my friends at a place other than my home that paid me, a moving picture show accessed any time of the day that could make me laugh or cry, some sort of communication device where I could read things by people from all over the world whenever I wanted....if I had these things, I would be 100% satisfied. -I wish that there were women who had a job where their only task was to walk around to peoples houses and look real pretty and talk to you and flirt with you. I'm not talking about objectifying women, I just mean that this way, we could think of them not so much as people, but rather as things only put there for our enjoyment. ...not unlike backgammon. -=MovieCharactersoftheDay=- The following three names are names of characters in a movie and your job is to name the movie.

Heading out to lunch with my brother, which im sure will be a good time. Topics discussed will include Saved By the Bell, the lack of Mighty Morphin Power Ranger's in pop culture lately, and the Spanish-American War. -=MovieQuoteoftheDay=- "You just had a near-life experience"
