More Beer Faster!

Read this article.

Because waiting more than 3 seconds for a pint of beer is a shame.

Inclusion and inclusion

How ironic that the band I saw last night was named "Inclusion." After living in this college town for 2 years, I FINALLY found a member of my collegiate fraternity! A guy who sings at Karaoke every week was there. This week he gave a "shout out" to the frat...MY frat! Last night I saw him and asked him. Sure enough, he is a brother! I spent the evening meeting brothers and pledges. They now have my phone number and I'll get to join the reindeer games.

The band was good. Not excellent. They guys could sing reasonably well, I imagine. They needed to turn the mics up. ALl 4 of them sang lead at different times. The mix of instruments was well done. The songs they selected were all POP tunes, from Gin Blossoms to Gavin DeGraw.

I got to drink beer from the new Alumninum bottle. I got to listen to live music. I met some great people. I went to bed tipsy.

I get to spend the weekend with my new sweetie.

I don't know if Cloud 9 allows spend the night guests, but there's room up here for two!

Neat HTML Hack

I was looking through the "Blogger Hacks" and found a neat character map that tells you the HTML code for special characters like ♠ and Σ and ñ

you should go to:

I win!

Recently I met a girl. She told me she was dating someone. Normally, this would bother me. Normally, I'm a nice guy. Normally, I would've played the role of "friend" and end up missing out.

Not this time.

I played my cards perfectly. Her friend, S, told her she should leave C and date me. Then I met her Mom. Mom told her to dump C and date me.

Then I kissed her.

Was that a sin? Probably. Was it good? Hell yeah! Do I feel guilty? Not too much. My point was loud and clear: I'm interested. I told her that I wanted to do the right thing and if she decided to stay with C, then I would be respectful and support her. I told her that I could only promise my best. I couldn't promise it'd be all sunshine and lolli-pops, but I promised I'd give her my all.

Must've worked.

Last night we had another date. It was nice, too. On our way home she told me that everyone in her family wants her to dump C. She's told me about this fella. He's a dick. She needs to leave him regardles. I told her this last night, too. I said that even if she doesn't want to date me, she needs to NOT date him any longer. He's no good for her. I walked her to her door. She invited me to THE family dinner in two weeks. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, greataunts, great grandparents.

We kissed again.

I could've sworn I drove to work this morning, but all I see is Cloud 9.

A nice guy CAN play dirty and win.

No really....this is so not cool

http://washingtontimes.com/culture/20050926-100619-3195r.htm

I think mothers should talk to their daughters about sex, but there's a time, a place and environment. 13, a hotel room, and drunk is NOT it.

6 months is far too short a sentence.

Where's the Chief, 99?

RIP Don Adams 1923-2005

I remember sitting in Grandpa's room singing along with the "Get Smart" theme as it played on Nick at Nite. I wanted him to foil KAOS every night. My favorite was the "would you believe....?" scenes. I wanted his Mom to learn his true job. What WAS 99's real name? They even called her mother Mrs. 99!

And poor Brain. He did ALL the hard work. Uncle Gadget was such a goof. I loved it when he tried to "go go Gadget copter" and would fly upside down! I had a crush on Penny--though I wish they'd not changed her voice.

What a great job he did bringing joy to my young heart!

RIP.

Good Morning!

The sun is out (I know, it blinded me on the way to work), the birds are singing, the flood waters are receding. It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It is a lonely day, too.

Lady Hearteater's post this morning reminded me once again that I wake up alone every morning. Kind of sucks. But then again, you can hardly beat walking around your apartment butt ass nekkid. The only thing better would be to do it with your lover :)

I'm inspired this morning to knock some of these projects off my list at work. I must not spend all day every day on Blogger. This will eventually lead me to being fired. Being fired will cause a small dip in my income. This would be bad. I have too many expensive habits.

It is not even 8am and I'm done with my morning surf. I must be away. Gotta beat "the man" to the punch and avoid a "case of the Mondays."

Safe, Sound, and FUCKING PISSED

Ok, first things first. Me and my peeps are all safe. We survived the wave of tornadoes from Rita. I have some rain damage to my ceiling. Landlady will look at it tomorrow. I'm lucky.

Now...on to business.

One word: run. You have disrespected me, my family, my friends and done so in both an unintelligent (use of such disgraceful language), and cowardly way.

...be ye warned.

TGIF

Well, it IS Friday, but I'm bored to tears. The ONE thing we had planned to do at work today has been postponed until Monday. I've got plenty to do, but am completely uninspired to do it.

This weekend is going to be fun, though. I'm going to help my Dad finish his dog house. He started this week on it without me, that was his first mistake.



Of course, the dog house is for him, not those cute puppies. They stay inside. You see, Mom and Dad had a fight and well, they're not on speaking terms.



It all started Labor Day weekend. We were all chilling by the pool and Dad decided to do one of his pattented high dives



and well, Mom was reading some steamy romance novel. Her book got soaked. I was inside playing with my LEGOS.



Next thing I knew they were screaming at each other.

Anyway, I hope they work things out. My mother is really a beautiful person.



She is kind and caring and loving and hopefully forgiving. We were all scheduled to go on a cruise this fall.





I just don't know if that will happen now.

Pirates, Music, and Baby's Mamas

Todays post will be in Pirate. American English translation below.


When I meet someone new, 'n' I want ta get ta know them better, I ask "what be yer passion? What one topic would keep ye up all night without tire?" fer me, this here be music.

So many thought swirlin' arround in me head this here morning. Little Box got me up on me soap box (relation?) about music with his post. See me comments. Tharr be so many great chanteys out tharr on the radio. Shiver me timbers! Unfortunately fer the music aficionado like meself tharr be at least three times as many crappy chanteys out there. ARR! ARR! I'm two pirates! Weed through the crap, however, 'n' ye can find some real gems. fer example, Missy Elliott's "Music Make Me Lose Control" be a relentless display o' poor grammarr 'n' ignorance, however, the texture o' the music 'n' backbeat be really cool. The ascendin' runs (synthesized computer, I'm sure) in the background be great. In classical music, ye'll find similarr runs, but not often in pop/rock/hip-hop. Black-Eyed-Peas ha' officially captured me ears. I own their two most recent CDs 'n' cannot find a thin' wrong with them! 21st century Funk, reminiscent o' James Brown. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! I wish the Barrenaked Ladies would put out a new album. Oh, 'n' BTW, let's belay callin' them records. Yes, they be recordings, but we're not cuttin' vinyl anymore. "Album" will suffice. If anyone would like ta discuss music some more, I'd be happy to.

Next on the agenda be Baby's Mamas. Blow the man down! Inspired by Hip-Hop, I'm all a rant about the total lack o' responsibility in society today! CONDOMS swabs! It has become socially acceptably ta fuck a chick, get 'er knocked up, 'n' get on welfare. ARR! Yeah, accidents happen, condoms break, pills fail, etc. But, hell, I think swabs arren't even tryin' anymore. That be handsome Pete! He dances fer nickels! I mean no disrespect ta the single parrents out tharr who do try 'n' do provide a nice life fer their children. In fact, I praise ye. It be the OTHER crowd. This chair be high says I! The ones who ha' no respect fer "family" er responsibility. ARR! The swabs who go into a sexual relationship (HA-harrdly even ha' those anymore) 'n' don't intend ta do anythin' ta prevent pregnancy. The world be gettin' cramped as it is, we don't need a anymore children raised by parrents who don't give a fuck. Bein' a buccaneer doesn't mean writin' a check.

Enough. ha' a great day!

Song in my Head

Two songs have been lodged firmly in my cranium the last two days:
-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-

Pimpin all over the World
Ludacris f/ Bobby Valentino
[Chorus]
The fancy cars, the women and the caviar, you know who we are,
cause we pimpin all over the world,
The fancy cars, the women and the caviar, you know who we are,
cause we pimpin all over the world

City Hoes,
All over the world baby, it's only right that I share my
experiences with ya'll, cause I've been
places where you'll never imagine, but Ima start at home, I walk
straight up to them and I'm

really pursuin, I would like to get
to know ya, can you gimme ya name, if you jot down ya number
you'll get mine in exchange, Heyy
See I'm the man of this town, and I hope you would'nt mind if I
showed you around, so when you
go to certain places you'll be thinkin of me, we got people to
meet and many places to see, Heyy
I'm really diggin ya lips,but be careful where you walkin when
you swingin them hips, I'm kinda
concerned that you'll be causin a crash wit ya traffc jam booty,
heads pausin so fast, Heyy
I would'nt trade you for the world I swear it, I like ya hair
and every style that ya wear it,
and how the colors cordinate wit ya clothes, from your manicured
nails to ya pedicured toes

[Chorus]

You hear the song so dance, don't always think I'm tryna get in
your pants,cause see me my
pimpin's in 3-D, I'm takin you places you only see on T.V.,
tryna show ya that livin is trife,
how many guys you know that can bring the travel channel to
life, one day we on the auto-bind
swervin drivin, next day we in the sun on the Virgin Islands, if
you wit me ain't no time to
sleep, especially at wet willies on Miami Beach, but I drive you
off and pay you no attention if
I make it to Atlantas Brina Brothers convention, then jump in
the car and just ride for hours,
makin sure I don't miss the homecomin at Howard, Hawaii to D.C.
it's plenty women to see, so if
yo ass don't show up it's more women for me, Heyy

[Chorus]

I'm in New York at the portorican day parade, thn at night I'm
in New Orleans drinkin hand
grenades, outnumbered by the dozens at the jazz fest, in
Mardigra all the women tryna show mw
they chest, Heyy
I'm in Jamaica spendin massive bucks, while the ladies all
beggin me to masha tucks, I had sad
beginnings when I rap wit no fans, now it's all happy endings in
my lap in Japan, Heyy
I used to think that it was way too cold til I went to Canada
and say some beautiful hoes, now I
hit the Carribean every year in Toronto, then fly t Illinois to
get a taste of Chicago(ugh),Oh
yet and still you would'nt believe your eyes if you went to
Brazil, ain't no need of even askin
brah, the best women are reside in Africa, and that's real

[Chorus]

And my new favorite song though it should have been performed slower and with a country twang. You should hear ME sing it in the shower....

"Ohio (Come Back To Texas)"
Bowling for Soup

She said she needed a break
a little time to think
but then she went to Cleveland
with some guy named Leelan
that she met at the bank

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
and I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

So when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

I think I made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
it shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
i bet she misses the sunrise
and misses the fruit flies but i could be wrong

So when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
and drove right on thru the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
and the Bush twins want you back
and Pantera wants you back
and Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Disappointment (and more HTML)

You all let me down, I tell ya what. Brad the Gorilla is the ONLY one who made any suggestion for cooking. I had to eat microwave dinners yesterday. Here I am inspired to cook and I get NO LOVE from the blogosphere.

Ahh, well...

It was a disappointing weekend for the most part. Yankees lost, most of the college teams I root for lost (70-17?!?!), the one football game I watched Sunday was great, but Jacksonville still lost.

I'm largely uninspired this morning. I decided I don't want to be another hornets nest and talk about Katrina (or the lack of effort by the LA government to do the right thing BEFORE the disaster).

So, I guess I'll just throw out some HTML: Links

<A HREF="website" target="window">Link Text</A>

"A" is the tag. HREF is the URL you want to go to. "Target" is the name of the window you want the site to open in. If there is no target, then it opens in the current window. If you don't have a pop-up blocker running, click on any one of my links. Notice it opens in a new window? I like to keep all the attention. So, whenever I link to a site that is not me, I make it open in a new window. So, Fridaysweb opens in a window called Target="friday". Once the window is created, it keeps the name. So if I have:
<A HREF="http://www.blogger.com" target="blog">Blog World</A>
and
<A HREF="http://www.google.com" target="blog">Google</A>

When you click on one of them, a new window would open and be labeled "blog". Since there is now a window open named "blog" the next time you click on one of those two, the site would be opened in the "blog" window. I try to give completely unique names to all my windows, this way, everyone gets their own space.

The "target" attribute is not allowed in the comments section, but is allowed in posts.

Ok, so links. Get it? Don't be scared to use it!

I love HTML, in case you didn't notice. I'm a geek. I like to learn new stuff all the time. I guess that's why I wanted recipes (you fuckers). I like to hear how other people do it. If you read one of my tutorials and you say to yourself "these poor fools! I can do this so much easier" then post a comment and tell me how YOU like to create your website.

J

MMMMmmmmm Pizza

Ok, I know I made some comments around the Blogosphere about being a good cook, but I was faking it. I rarely cook these days. However, today will be a treat. The pizza dough is rising in the back room and in just under an hour I should be dining on my first hommade (all by myself) pizza!

This has inspired me to solicit recipes. Anyone got a favorite Chilli recipe? Cookies? Chicken dishes (involve cheese and you get bonus points).

I once had a dish that was chicken and Doritos and cheese. I wish I'd written it down.

I just ordered some cookie dough from the local elementary school. It is chocolate cookie with mint chips. MMMmmm I love mint chocolate. I make my own special brownies: take any brownie mix, replace half the oil with creme de minthe syrup (oil-like consistency). No creme de menthe? You can use chocolate mint, but you should use all the oil the recipe calls for and just splash in the mint syrup to taste. I even have used pepermint, but careful, that stuff is strong!

Another trick up my sleeve is to put a strong dash of cinamon in my chocolate chip cookies. Not so much you can taste it outright, just enough to give it an extra zing.

We already discussed my lasagna once, but it is my piece de resistance! Sicillian style, with sausage, ricotta, and lots of cheese!

Time to toss the pie in the oven.

Bright, Flashing, Fuck-off Text

A quick note: I was doing some research to see if you could make text blink faster or slower and discovered that the blink tag was invented by Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer refused to code it into their browser. So, if you're using Internet Explorer, first off, shame on you, and second, you won't get to see the flashing. If you have Netscape, Opera, or Mozilla, just use:
<BLINK>BLINKING TEXT</BLINK>

Go get Opera

Ok, one of my favorite things to do on web pages is to change the text. Your basic command is "<FONT>" Inside of the FONT command, you can add tags, like size and color. For example:

<FONT size=+1 color="red"> Makes the font one size bigger and red.</FONT>

Note my use of "". You have to use them most of the time. When it comes to size, however, that is a mathematical variable and the quotes aren't needed. I think +4 is
the biggest
You can also go <FONT size=-2> smaller</FONT>

You can also define the font size absolutely: <FONT size=5>Size 5</FONT>

Colors can be done two ways. My example uses color names. I've never really used names. I use what's called RGB colors. In this method, you define the red, blue and green content of the font. <FONT color="RRGGBB"> the values are not 1-100, thuogh, they are in hexadecimal form--00 to FF. This is a bit harder to understand, but it gives you a wide variety of colors. Hex counts like this:

01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15....A1, A2, A3,...F1, F2, F3, F4,...FF

This gives you 255 values but only takes up 2 spaces.

SO...<FONT color="2FC5DA">Looks like this</FONT> NOTE: In Blogger, using RGB font colors will probably change the color of the text in your comments section.

A couple of color charts:
Chart 1
Chart 2

One final note on fonts is you can now change the font face (or font style). In the old days, circa 1995, you could not. Some font faces would be: <FONT face="veranda"> and <FONT face="Times"> unfortunately, Blogger has an override on the font face and I cannot get it to work right now, but trust me, it works.

Now, I know that Blogger gives you a neat little font color/size thing up there, but what if you weren't using blogger?!?! Edit: Turns out there is no color icon up there. Opera doesn't display those, so I had no clue until this afternoon when I decided to edit this post in IE.

The comments section won't let you use the font command...dammit, so you'll have to experiment in your own blog.

Frustration

I'm AFK all day thanks to some silly training. I have a few minutes before the van leaves, so I thought I'd throw something up that I'd written in an e-mail the day before I moved into my Hideout.

But first, I have a bitch to scratch

USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNALS PEOPLE!

Last night I was down in the dumps. I have been for about a month now. It got worse after my trip to Chicago. Why? Cuz I'm all alone. It sucks. I'm sick of the one night stand shit. I'm ready for a relationship that will last. I want to make love and fuck in the same night. I want to have time for multiple orgasms. I want to watch a chick flick with a chick. I want to fall asleep, wake up with a hard on, put it to use, then fall back asleep. I want to have my morning shower with someone else. I want someone to kiss goodnight. I want someone to want to kiss me goodnight. I want to come home for a nooner and have an after dinner make-out session with the same person. Is that too much to ask?

J

HTML Help #1

I decided that when I don't have time for long and involved posts, I'd throw some HTML your way.

The first thing we need to cover is the use of the bracket, "<>". All HTML commands are enclosed by brackets.

Most of the commands need to be started and stopped. To stop, or close the cmmand, usually you add the forward slash or "</command>"

The most common commands used are:
"<center>" "</center>" to center the text
"<B>" "</B>" to make text bold
"<I>" "</I>" to italicize text
"<A HREF>" "</A>" to make links More on this one next.

There is one command that I use often that does not need to be "closed". It is the "break" command, "<BR>". It is a line break. Blogger does a good job of adding those for us every time we hit the return key. However, if you were programming in HTML you would need a break every time you wanted to start a new line.

Annother common command we use here is for making bulleted lists. Each item on the list starts with the "<LI>" command. This stands for "list item." It will automatically start a new line and add a bullet. There are ways to change the default bullet to nifty symbols for our advanced class.

List item 1

List item 2

Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers

Homework today is to post a comment and USE something from this class. Make some text bold, or centered, or leave me a bulleted list of your favortie t.v. shows! Amy, Lady Hearteater, I'm speaking to you. CLB, stop passing notes during class!

Edit: I just found out that the comments section only allows certain HTML tags. Do the best you can. If you have to, just start using them on your blog. So far I haven't had any tags refused over here.

J

Tag, I'm it.

Well, I have given my gentleman's word that I would answer the tag. I must tell you now, however, that I am a secretive one and my identity must remain to myself. Therefore, you can read this, but if you tell anyone, you'll be sleeping with the fishes.

Ten years ago: Entering my final year of high school. Planning for college and writing my first contract.

Five years ago: Started my first real job--an internship with the company I now work for. Broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years whom I was planning to marry. Life took a spiral downward; still climbing my way back to the top. Let the facial hair grow into a goatee. It became a good luck charm for the football team. Grew it in July, shaved it in Jan every year for three years. Decided grad school was in order.

One year ago: Celebrated surviving another summer in the south. Prayed every night the Yanks would win the world series....fucking Red Sux. Used up all my favors the next morning. In retrospect, Randy Johnson was probably not worth it.

Yesterday: Rode cloud 9 all day (in spite of Danica)

Five songs to which I know all the words (and am willing to Karaoke): Vehicle - The Ides Of March, Don't Mess Around With Jim - Jim Croce, If I Had a Million Dollars - Barenaked Ladies, The Old Apartment - Barenaked Ladies, She's Every Woman - Garth Brooks

5 snacks: Anything made by Twizler or Mt. Dew (Original Pitch Black is best so far), Pizza--Sicillian or NY style (DUH), redheads, Cannoli

5 things I would do with $1million: Please, that's pocket change. Pay off Amy's bills, Black, 1980 Corvette Stingray T-top, 2005 Jeep Rubicon, 1999 Shelby Series I, Stereo system so loud it blows girls' clothes off.

5 places I would run away to: Italy; Interlaken, Switzerland; Chattanooga, TN; NJ; North Carolina.

5 things I would never wear: Boston Red Sux jersey, Texas Longhorns jersey, Tennessee Volunteers jersey, Atlanta Braves jersey, off the rack suits,

5 favorite tv shows: Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons, King of the Hill, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

5 greatest joys: A good slice of pizza, a good lasagna, the smell of a smoking gun, a pat on the back from someone I respect, make-up sex

5 favorite toys: LEGO R/C car, fish-tank submarine, the internet, my "other" car, my little friend (care to say hello?)

5 people I'm tagging: I'm a gentleman, we don't do that in public. If I gots a problem with you, we'll have a sit-down.

J

As if she cared....

Yeah, somewhere in there is Danica. She blew right by me, hiding behind security. She was the only driver there with security. All the others were on little scooters. Some stopped and signed autographs, some didn't.

J

Chicago Rocks. Danica's a snob.

First off, sorry for the delay in getting out a new post, I know both of you were worried.

In case you missed Fridaysweb's comment section last week, I was in Chicago this weekend. I got to watch the ARCA and IRL races. My goal was to get Danica Patrick's autograph....well, she's a bitch. In one sentence she said "without you, the fans and sponsors, this would not be possible" then tossed the mic to Bobby Rahal and ran off. I tried Saturday AND Sunday to get her autograph and was waived off at least 5 times. Bitch.

THEN she turned around and blew the restart with like 12 to go and fell from 4th to 6th. She had the fastest car on the track, but as I stated before, she's far from the best driver in the sport.

I enjoyed the time away from life. I only got a couple hours of sleep this morning and the pile of work on my desk is ridiculous. Pictures and more to come.

Fad, Trend, or Hobby?

Well, I've been hanging out at Blogger for a couple of weeeks. I've become infatuated with reading blogs. Amy, over at Fridaysweb has twisted my arm long enough. I figure I'd better start my own or end up sleeping with the cyber fishes. I make no promises but my best effort to enjoy this.
