Hello everyone! My domain name is the result of many bored
days at work. Well, if you really want to get technical, it's
the result of whatever my parents named me, but I digress.
Hopefully I'll be able to add more content over the next few
days. I'm just tried of getting flak for my "new day is
dawning" picture.
So this is a pathetic attempt to please my massive fan base.
So here...bask in all it's glory!!!!
I'm just going to add a Links page with some of my favorite links
for now.

First and foremost...Happy Birthday Amber!! Secondly, a special
thanks goes out to Matt for being a most excellent host in
Athens this weekend. Now I just gotta get that Dawg smell out
of my clothes.
I changed the format of the links
page. I'm still not sure what all to put up on the site. Suggestions
would be helpful. I also added a page with some pics of where
I work. Yes, now you know where I go
for 8 hours a day. And just for the heck of it, I added a
counter at the bottom of this page. I mean, what's a web page
with out a counter? That's like a unicorn without a horn and
this page ain't no ordinary horse.

Color change!!! H'ok, I was working on my site today when
I realized that my colors were blue
and orange. GASP! I'm really
disappointed in myself right now. I just can't even put into
works the shame that I feel right now. Perhaps my lack of
sleep is affecting my color perception. Also, thanks to my
true friends for letting me know...except for Michael M. (he
can't help it). So I'm expecting Terry Tate to mow me down any
second now. My site and I deserve this:
In the meantime, I'm going to go with a nice red
color for the links until I can figure out something better. I
also added a little flash animation at the top and changed the
navigation links.

WOW - Looks like I'm a "winner"
and more!! Movin' on
up...to the east side baby.
I added a Mustang section to show
all ya'll my most favoritist (wait, spell check is telling me
that isn't a word. HA...it is now) hobby. It's a little bare
boned right now mainly due to the fact that I don't own a
camera. Yeah yeah, don't want to hear it. But there's gonna be
a lot of cool, nifty stuff added in that section in the not so
near distant future.

I realize that many of you may not be the devoted Star
Wars fan that I am. But I need to rant about something. First,
read this.
Ok, General Grievious? What a gay name. Now, I would expect a name like
that in a Marvel Comic Book. But holy molars Batman why General
Grievious!! This is from the same
man who brought us names like Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Boba
Fett, Jabba the Hutt, etc...
I mean, all Lucas did was take the word Grievous and
slide another 'i' into it. George you tricky devil you. If it
wasn't for my college education, I never would have caught
that. Almost as brilliant as "Attack of the Clones", but not quite. You lost your touch a long time
ago buddy. One would think that you have enough money to hire some decent writers. Oh wait,
that's right. You pour all of it into CG shots. What was I thinking?
Yo bro, how about you follow your own advice: "Do or do not.
There is no try."
Well, my rant took most of energy today. I posted an
Archive
Page so you can look back at my insightful mumblings. Err...I
mean News and Site Updates. That should keep the Home Page
lookin' all nice and neat. Plus, I've gotta feed my OCD
somehow. I did do to something really cool with the logo,
but I could not get it to work just right and its gotta be
perfect. For some reason, it leaves a tiny white strip at the
bottom of the logo. I'm not talking about the kind that clean
your teeth either. I worked on it for so long that I started to
foam at the mouth. And by 'foam at the mouth' I really meant
'get a migraine'. So I'll just change it later.

Happy Birthday...Mr. President...err I mean Michael. In other
news, I tried really, really hard to make fun of this story.
I'm talking really hard here. But the story just kinda makes
fun of itself. I guess that would make it a satire...then.
Anyways, you check check the story
out here. Enjoy! Oh yeah, Happy Friday the 13th as well.
OK, I changed my mind. Being a webmaster does have some advantages.
I guess the one thing that gets me, other the fact that Barbie
is now single (just in time for V-Day), is this quote:
"...the separation may be partially due to Ken's
reluctance to getting married." Let's take a step back
all dissect this shall we? That's quite possibly the best
decision that Ken could have ever made. Now, I know that you
are thinking, "That's mean! How could you say a thing
like that?!" You gotta look at the big picture sister.
They spent 43 years "together" Do you realize how
many houses, cars, minivans, clothes, and other accessories
Ken has had to shell money out for? Just think of the shoes
alone. Not to mention supporting all of her
"cronies" and extravagant parties and trips. If you
do the math, that's a lot of money. I'm talking on a magnitude
of Bill Gates here. It would probably be cheaper for him to
date Paris Hilton. And what about Barbie? Looks like she's
already on the rebound: "...already has attracted a new
admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder." Whoa,
G'day there mate. So where does that leave Ken? "He will
head for other waves." Because there are plenty of other
fish in the sea. Say, didn't Saved by the Bell end in a
similar way? Never mind, that was their movie, not the TV
show.
In closing, have a safe and happy Singles Awareness Day
tomorrow.

Well, another S.A.D (Singles Awareness Day) has come and
gone. Happy Valentines day to those who celebrated. If
you totally forgot (like you just crawled out from under a
rock), swing by Wally World and pick up some marked down candy
and flowers. That way it won't be a total loss. I say total
because chances are you are deeper in debt that Enron. Might I
highly suggest some groveling as well?
The other day I was quoted on my funeral preferences:
"You can put in a pine box. Heck, you can put me in a
Winn Dixie bag." After much reflection, I think I've
changed my mind to go out like this guy
did.
No gargantuan updates for
today. I'm wiped out from what turned out to be a very
interesting weekend to say the least. With all things
considered, it ended up being Bruce Almighty "Good."
I did however post some really good information on 1968
Mustangs. You should read this because there will be a
quiz later. I also changed the format of the home page. The
News and Site Updates are now grouped together by day. The
News will come first followed by the Updates. Why?
Because I know how lazy college students are. Finally, I
posted a pic (circa 1997) of my old 1965
Mustang. All that I ask is that you look past the really
expensive model I hired to pose with my car and enjoy the
car's true beauty.

Happy Birthday Jillian (or P-Jilly to my Ghetto fans)!! I
would also like to take the time to retract a previous
statement I made last week: "I mean, all Lucas did was take the word Grievous and
slide another 'i' into it. George you tricky devil you. If it
wasn't for my college education, I never would have caught
that." I'm sorry Mr. Lucas. Please accept my most
humble apologies. I know this maybe hard to believe, but I was
misinformed by the internet. It would seem that I gave you too
much credit. According to your official
site, General Grievious is actually General Grievous.
Thanks to your official word, I would not need any education
whatsoever to figure out how gay that really is. Yes, you have
just confirmed your own lameness. Congratulations you "winner."
And if that wasn't enough, George has apparently
halted
work on Indiana Jones 4 because he wanted to rework some of
the script himself. I'm willing to bet that there wasn't
enough CGI scenes or he needed to add a really annoying CGI
character to open up the market for pre-schoolers. I would not
be surprised to find out that Indy has to rescue an ancient artifact
(from the Lost City of Atlantis) from evil General Devious,
Hitler's right hand man. The CGI character would be some
random fish-like character from Atlantis that talks like its
underwater (déjà vu?). And on a site note, General Devious
is actually Indy's father.
One more thing, if anyone would like to know
that happens when you leave two Krystal Burgers in your trunk
for 10 days, just ask me! I knew I forgot to do something!!
As for updates, I added a new Mustang article
describing the difference between the 1964½
and 1965 Mustangs. I also added a color
guide for the '68 Mustangs.

I realize that this is the pot calling the kettle black,
but...well...ummm...NERD!!!
A rather large update for today. I have posted pictures of my
office in the Work section. Now you get
to see what I stare at all day long...besides the monitor. I
also updated the Links section. Enjoy!

As of yet, I don't have anything to really rant about.
However, I will leave you with two interesting links:
1. Things
I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord... - This guy has
it together.
2. Wear
your Seatbelt! - Let me just point out a few things here. A)
Notice that the guy tries to drive with his left hand and how
his elbow almost never leaves the arm rest. B) He's got a Dale
Earnhardt #3 shirt on, how ironic is that? I'm trying to find
out if the guy made it or not. I'm thinking we have one less
citizen in the great Empire State of the South.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I just barely managed to escape
the clutches of sickness. That should teach me to play with
monkeys at the zoo. But to atone for this, I bring you
the following:
1. Why
I don't play Rugby - Special thanks to field correspondent
Michael for sending me this link. While its not as funny as
it sounds, I did find it somewhat amusing that all this occurred
at the Dairy Farmers Stadium. Go figure! Oh well, at least the
guy has three excellent references to work at a muffler shop
or for a proctologist.
2. This
poor dude - Lets all take a moment to reflect on his guy's
horrible decision making and planning skills...or maybe hers?
Also, the Wear your Seatbelt! link below should now be
working. If not, please let me know and I will host it on my
website...for a small fee. Muahahahahaa! (I
blame any and all weirdness in the above statements on the
medication that I'm taking. As for the rest of the time, I don't have any excuses.)

In addition to the Evil Overlord link, here is another good
one: So
You've Decided to be Evil!. Also, this website features
two of the greatest combinations evar: Star
Wars and Legos!!
And, sorry for the lack of updates and content here lately.
Midterms are approaching and things at work have picked
up...somewhat. Besides, you should be out watching the Passion
of the Christ anyways. Now gitonouttahere!!
