Non Videos on YOU TUBE!

You Tube is for Videos, right?

I decided to search for aquarium videos and found one for the Georgia Aquarium. I was dissappointed that it wasn't true video but still shots made into a video. HOW LAME! Who wants to see still shots that are made into a video? Not me. Check this bleh " video" out.

Here is Websters Definition of video

Dammnit! I don't attend OSU!

A month or so ago This person from Ohio State includes me in an email similar to this one. They were needing someone to work in the deli as a prep person.
I emailed her back (as a joke) and said I'll take the 11-4 shift on Monday and Wednesday. She emailed me back and said how about Wed as Monday was taken.

I couldn't carry on the game any longer and told her that I do NOT attend OSU and to remove me from the mailing list. I of course did this in a very nice email. I never heard back from her until now... MUhahahahhaha... The gloves are coming off now.

How far should I take this?

New Aquarium for 2007


We redecorated our 90 gallon aquarium yesterday this past weekend.

Our Tiger oscar passed away so we seized the opportunity to setup a planted tank with small schooling fish. This is something we have wanted to try for a long time.

The inhabitants at this time are 3 silver dollars, 5 neon tetras, and 5 white cloud danios.

The silver dollars are real troopers. They are our oldest fish right now only because they survived the week without power a few years ago.

The plants in the tank are 1 Onion plant, 1 baby tears, 1 red tiger lotus, and 1 ludwigia.

Here's a short video.

Hotel California... - Dream

I was at some fancy schmancy hotel somewhere waiting in the check in area. I had my reservations in my hand and accidentally walked up to a desk. This young kid who was manning the desk looked up at me and said “ I don’t process those here” I said “ What kind of customer service is that, you should have said “ How may I help you, sir?” I walked away and someone else behind a desk said something to me that wasn’t to my liking. I got a little more annoyed and got louder about how the service was severely lacking in this establishment. Finally a big wig manager shows up and says “Upgrade him to a suite”
At that point I said “ that’s how it is it done folks. An applause roared from the other patrons in the lobby. All of a sudden I have people in football jerseys coming up to me wanting to shake my hand. I think they believe I am some star. Then I woke up.

The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd

Most of this is so true! (email received from my pal Art)

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what
with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways
.. yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard
I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe
old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of
today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you
live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!


I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to
Know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up
ourselves, in the card catalog!!


There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a letter ...
with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put
it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!


There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to
hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd
usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!


We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone
And somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!


And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
You had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your
boss, Your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't
know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
"Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass! Your guy was a little
square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple
levels or screens, it was just o ne screen forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder
And faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old
broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!


Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a
little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!


You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
Your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no
Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning.
Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you
spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up . we
Had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that! If we
Wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it
over the stove forever like an idiot.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy. You're spoiled.

You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

Why Did I do this!?



I borrowed my Father-in-Law’s pressure washer (thanks Royce!) and was cleaning the front of the house.
That turned into me cleaning the brick walkway that leads to the front door. I accidentally let the high pressure stream of water graze the driveway.
It blasted the black junk off with ease. Before I knew it, I had cleaned a 3x1 section. Then I did an entire section of the driveway.
It looks very good, but I have to do the whole thing now or it will look ghetto.

Great White Sharks


Sharks have always fascinated me. They’re such perfect killing machines with rows of teeth that replace themselves regularly without thought. We should have such a perfect tooth replacement system. They can smell blood at 1ppm (part per million)and even have a nictitating membrane that covers their eyes milliseconds before they attack to protect them.

The picture above which was verified by Snopes as being authentic.

You all may think I'm out of my gourd, but I would really like to do a cage dive to see these awesome creatures first hand.

I might be obsessed as my myspace page has a very skurry( thanks Hi C) background of a White Shark head with gaping Jaws.

Miami Bound! - Dream

In this dream, I was living back in the keys at my parents’ house and working at the local Summerland ACE hardware store. I was visiting my brother and his girlfriend in Miami. They were in the process of buying a 5 bedroom house in Miami. Towards the end of the dream everyone decides that I am going to live in the house with my bro and his girl and commute 1:15 minutes to work in the keys. We all know the drive is considerably longer than that, but this is my dream. Then I woke up.

Psycho cardinal captured on video!



I caught him on video this time.

Anyone have an idea on how to stop him that doesn't entail bodily harm to the bird? ;)

One person suggessted hanging a bottle of ammonia to the mirror.
I really don't want to have to worry about making slip covers for my truck mirrors as well as having to remember to take them on and off.

One of my favorite Artists - Evanescence

Psycho cardinal




Since Springtime I have noticed sratches on my side view mirrors and wondered what was making them. I found out the other morning and finally was able to snap a pic of the culprit!

I suppose he is fighting with his reflection in the mirror and window. The pic doesn't really show him in action. I tried to get a video but he left before I could do so. Stay Tuned...

A google search found me this site

Psycho Cardinal
by Marsha Stephens
Saturday morning (July 10)

"I awoke to hear a strange scratching sound coming from the roof. Atfirst I thought it may have been squirrels cavortingaround, but it seemed to persistent. I went outside to have a look and discovered that a male cardinal was the source of the noise. I have a woodstove with adouble-wall, shiny stainless steel pipe that comes outthe roof. He would flutter up and down two feet of thepipe, attacking his reflection, pause, and then do itagain. He finally stopped when full sun hit the area.I was hoping he'd have enough sense to stop in theheat. Interesting twist to the problems folks have sited previously on this list regarding cardinals at-tacking windows and car mirrors."





Why can't the stupid bird go find an old crappy car to scratch up the mirrors and windows on. Leave my fairly new truck alone. Stupid bird!

I think I'll have to put covers on the side view mirrors to see if that stops the madness!

Towing my Boat in Miami - Dream

Carol and I were in Miami with my boat in tow. We stopped by this new gas station because gas was 1.23 a gallon. That was for unleaded 87 octane. I was so stoked that I put a full tank of 93 octane in the truck.
I knew the custom Westers' tune that I had installed would make the truck be very peppy with that octane. The fuel delivery finished and the pump asked if I wanted a car wash. For some reason I said yes (which I never do because I only hand wash my baby). We then walked inside to get sodas. When I was at the counter getting ready to pay, I saw a young kid with a pressure washer spraying down my truck. I pay for the sodas and go see what he’s doing. He says this is the carwash that I paid for at the pump. I let him finish and 4 of us get into the truck. Carol myself the carwash guy and some other person I do not know. We drive around Miami with my boat in tow until the carwash guy says he needs get back to work. I make a right turn into a parking lot with only one way in and out. They have those parking space markers painted in white around the perimeter of the lot. I decide that I’m in a truck and can make it over the parking space markers ( even with my boat in tow) and whip the truck around and head back in the direction we came.

Then I woke up.

Why Trucks Rule

Now I know why I will always own a truck. You can't do this in an Accord ;)





Arg Arg Arg More power!




The end result. $30 worth(1.5 Yards) of double shred mulch. That'd be alot of bags from Lowes!

Suture Needles! Accccck! Dream

Carol and I were over in Russia for some reason. I needed to take a drive somewhere in my brand new camaro. There was road construction ahead so I slowed down. Apparently, this was all part of a speed trap and I was pulled over by a Highway Patrol officer.

I ended up in the patrol office with this guy from Prison Break suturing two holes in my belly. He kept sticking the needle in for fun and then pulling them back out. He did this multiple times. A long haird blond nurse then walked by. I told her what he was doing and she acted like she could help, but then SHE started poking me with needles too!. That's when I woke up.
