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.

February 9, 2004

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:

Badge of Shame!!!

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.


February 11, 2004

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.


February 12, 2004

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.


February 13, 2004

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.


February 16, 2004

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.


February 17, 2004

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.


February 18, 2004

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!


February 19, 2004

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.


February 24, 2004

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.)


February 25, 2004

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!!
