As I was re-posting the ad-libs from the old site.

I just realized,
I lost some of the reader comments.

That’s what I get for being cheap, and relying on a free comment service.
Also, for not reading the fine print.
And for not backing-up my data.

What a bummer.
Now I have no proof that more than 3 people look and read this site.

Oh well.
What can I do.

So, write me a comment note.
Anyone.
Make me feel better.

Yes, I am talking to my 1st and 2nd degree friends.
Coz, if I ask the 3rd degree ones,
it’s gonna be a little awkward.

One of the current news buzz around the country,
is the war on Christmas.

Apparently,
it has been considered by the politically correct police,
that Christmas is a very offensive word,
and they want all reference to the word “Christmas” be replaced by “Holiday.”

You know what?
They win.
I give in.

I have no problems,
saying Merry “Holiday” to everyone.

Buying “Holiday” gifts,
putting them under our “Holiday” tree
sending “Holiday” cards,
singing “Have yourself a very merry Holiday,”
or wonder if my true love gave me
a partridge in a pear tree on the 1st day of “Holiday.”

I wouldn’t dare offend anyone if I ever say the word “Christmas.”

Nope.
I have no problem with that whatsoever.

Only under one condition……….

That everyone agrees,
that we also change:

Hanukkah,
Kwanzaa,
Thanksgiving,
Chanukah,
Martin Luther King Day,
Valentines,
Mardi Gras,
Purim,
Easter,
Passover,
Mother’s Day,
Father’s Day,
Shavuot,
Independence Day,
Labor Day,
Columbus Day,
Veterans Day,
Rosh Hashanah,
Yom Kippur,
Sukkot,
Simchat Torah,
Ramadan,
Halloween,
Cinco De Mayo,
Visakah Puja,
Los Dias de los Muertos,

and,
Oh what the hell.
Let’s throw in our Birthdays too.

Well, as you can see.
Some guy is trying to re-design this site.
Again.

I know, I know,
I have succumbed to the new blogging generation,
and left my roots as an HTML web designer,
who still uses Notepad to modify his site.

No matter.
At least this new layout is simpler and easier to read.
(Easier for me to update as well.)

Well, when I say easier to read,
that doesn’t mean that I am gonna start writing anything interesting.

Why start now, eh?

In all honesty,
I am kinda excited with this new layout.
The only thing that really bothers me,
is that,
I have to re-write all my archived posts,
and re-link all the paths again.
(That’s a good 5 years worth!)

Which means my mouse clicker will be in overdrive copy and paste.
Clickity-click!
Which I think is giving me the “carpool-tunnel-syndrominity.”

And when I have to invent words like “syndrominity,”
you know that I am not kidding.

Isn’t it interesting,
how gas prices seem to go down,
at the same time the big oil companies
are being questioned for record breaking profits?
(Linky here.)

Isn’t it interesting,
with the bird flu epidemic threat,
the government strongly suggests that we get this Tamiflu medicine?
Which apparently, the chairman of the makers of this drug,
is a high government official?
(Linky here.)

Isn’t it interesting,
that the government vowed to investigate on
how much red tape there was during the hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
But then a certain individual who wanted to help, was denied.
(Linky here.)

Isn’t it interesting,
that most people only remember today as Veteran’s day,
because, banks are closed.

Isn’t it interesting,
how you do most of your critical thinking when you’re
on the toilet, and you can’t find any magazines to read?

Yeah, it is.
Isn’t it?

I bring you,
Mickey Tyler Mouse!

You make yourself a Peanut Butter sandwich,
and when you’re done,
you put the butter knife in the fridge,
and the Peanut Butter jar in the garage.

Ask me why?

I have no freakin’ clue.
I stood in the garage for 5 minutes wondering why I was there.

I knew I should have stayed in bed.

Does it really matter,
that besides taking care of my son,
I didn’t do squat today?

Does it really matter,
that I slacked off on every single chore,
I am supposed to do?

Does it really matter,
that I have absolutely nothing done,
with regards to any preparations,
for the coming hurricane?

Does it really matter,
that neither me nor my son,
have taken our baths,
this late in the day?

Does it really matter,
that I don’t care,
with a whole lot of things anymore?
Nor what other people think?

NO!
It doesn’t matter.

You know what really matters to me right now?

It really matters to me,
to know,

If Dr. Sheperd signs the divorce papers,
so he can be with Dr. Grey.

If Dr. Burke gets back together,
with Dr. Yang.

OH! The suspense is killing me!

I bet you the producers and writers of the show,
will delay the unfolding of these revelations,
for a couple more weeks.

They will milk it,
for all its worth.

Why?

Because they are a bunch of mean,
sadistic BASTICHES!

But I love their show.
So if I say,
that they are a bunch of mean, sadistic bitchards,

it doesn’t really matter.

– top sustained winds of 175 mph
– most rapid strengthening ever recorded in a hurricane
– the lowest minimum pressure ever measured in an Atlantic basin hurricane (882 mb)

So, how do we handle a situation like this?

We ask the wizard Gandalf.

Ty: Mithrandir, How do we deal with such devilry?

Gandalf: This is a foe beyond any of you. Fly! You fools!
RUN!

I have been working on this new look,
for a couple of days now.
And no matter how I try,
I can not remove the everlasting suck-ness of it.
(Okay, maybe suckness isn’t a word.)

Plus, see that square box thing around this?
It’s not supposed to be there.

Well, it only shows when I view it with Internet Explorer.
It works well with Firefox,
but not IE.
Thanks again, Microsoft!

Anyone who has a Mac, or any other browser,
Please let me know if you can see the suck-full-ness of it.

So I guess,
if you are using IE.
Just pretend that that annoying box is not there.
Just like how you pretend that there is something interesting on this site.

And let me bombard you with other interesting sites,
to give you the illusion that your visit here wasn’t a waste of time.

A reflex game —> scenta.co.uk
If Gmail is not enough for you —> 30gigs.com
Law of human stupidity —> ecotopia.com
2005 Cost of Living Survey —> finfacts.com
2005 List of dumbest States —> cnn.com

Yeah, I think we’ll stop there.

Today I should be thankful,
that with the current situation here in the States,
with all the calamities,
with all the crime and violence,
and with the rumour of a bird flu epidemic,

I should be thankful that,
if ever hell breaks loose, and worse comes to worst,
I can bring back my family to the Great White North.

Unless they stop us at the border,
because they suspect us of having the bird flu virus.

Then there would be thousands of Americans trying to enter Canada,
all infected by the virus.
Then cannibalism would start.
As everyone would turn into zombies after 28 days.
Then that would leave me no choice
but to shoot every freakin’ zombie that tries to bite me.

I am going to have to ride my horse,
like a horseman of the apocalypse,
and I will unleash hell!

And when I unleash hell,
that means I am very pissed.
And nothing would make me happy.
Nothing!

Except maybe Ice Cream.
I like Ice Cream.
