For all of you that might be wondering why the site is dark, here it is:     I have been mulling over a great many updates, changes and downright retooling of the site for some time now. I got my bill just for hosting the other day. So, I said screw it, and lapsed the storage part, but kept the domain.   So, until I get it all worked out and ready to put up, you'll just have

Is it just me?   For some reason, I am a little offended when I get the reciept to sign after driving across town to pick my food up and see a blank for a tip. But then I feel like a jackass for putting down 0.00. It almost feels like I am being shamed into shaving a dollar or two, tightwad. I understand that some people live on tips, like waitresses. But when I can see my bag of food,

I finally found it, spurred on by yet another incident. How many more Officers are going to get in trouble before someone listens to me? I can't get a single media source to reprint this, because the IACP's president, and a few other influential people, can't accept reality, and in fact, advise people not to stop for the police. Some traffic violator will wind up dead, and Police will get some of

I like this email. I don't understand why birds act the way they do. You feed them and they repay your generosity by singing beautiful music, their amusing antics, and then shitting on your clearcoat. :( I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it withseed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking

So,I am watching my local news channel, and I see where a child has been stopped before a huge attack on his school. They are showing the requisite table of death, and I am sad. Why couldn't my Mom and Dad buy me all of that when I was little? One weapon alone was worth over 5 THOUSAND dollars!Then, I started looking closer.Dude! Those were all AIRSOFT guns!

I wanted to post an article that I wrote that, to date, no police outlet in America wants to print. It takes to task many important [strikeout]sheeple[/strikeout] people, and concerned the pap everyone is spewing about what to do if you are pulled over. Current dogma is causing increasing amounts of trouble. It will be a matter of time before someone is killed for following the terrible advice

Ebay - new score system hackFor sellers, a new system has been implemented at eBay. Instead of just the simple good/ok/bad system they've had at the beginning, now there are like five seperate things you can be rated on. Of course, you as a seller can only rate the buyers with the old system. So, when they are a week in paying, you can neutral them, but what's the point?Lazy buying people can

This is exactly right. I never thought about it, but the writer is correct. There really isn't a dearth of visible pro-American sentiment in the Muslim community.I don't care if it is a hoax or non-attributable.

I want to say something positive.Normally, people bag on Wal-Mart. No reason to rehash that. I want to say something positive about them today.I buy a lot of ink. Lexmark makes a nice inkjet (Christmas present), but it eats the ink.So, I buy a 40 dollar two pack (one color and one black), and trundle it home. The black doesn't work. I try bleeding the cart, smacking, stopped short of the hammer.

I am a COPMr. Citizen, it seems you've figured me out. I fit neatly into the category where you've placed me.I'm stereotyped, standardized, characterized, classified, grouped, and always typical. Unfortunately, the reverse is true. I can never figure you out.From birth, you teach your children that I'm the bogeyman and then you're shocked when they identify/associate with my traditional enemy....

I'm not proud to be white.Now, I can just hear your thought process. Because I say I'm not proud, that must mean I'm ashamed, right? Or, 'damn right. You shouldn't be.'No, stupid.It means, that I am white, and I don't think about being white. Unless some one else brings it up. Like gay pride parades, or "I'm proud to be Irish". I'm not either - I'm just white. Or, how white people recently

I woke up angry this morning.Usually when I dream, as I awake, I realize it was a dream and I let it go. This dream kept me angry; while I brushed my teeth, I was angry. Put my clothes on angry (I don't recommend it.) Got to the car to leave, and I was still angry. This tells me that either the dream hit close to home, or there was some validity to it.So, I call my buddy John for some outside
