nbc4columbus.com - News - Drunken Drivers To Get Red-Letter License Plates

Drunken Drivers To Get Red-Letter License Plates. Ok I am all for the special plates, but making the rest of the family have to have the same plates. That is just stupid. The law makers in this state really need to be taken out of office.

Top Yahoo! Searches 2003. I love the number one on this list. With the RIAA making such public asses of themselves this became something that everyone that never heard about it, wanted it. Long live P2P!!!!

End of an Era

Tonight marked the end of Joe, Charlie, and myself at St. Mary's bingo. This was not a decision that was made my us. We were forced out by Adolf (Father Ralko) and his band of ass kissers. We were treated in a way that the three of us felt like we were some kind of criminals. We had to turn in our keys and relinquish all materials to the "New Regimn" as it was said. I am not saddened by this to say the least, a feeling of freedom, less stress, and the ability to go where ever I want now is what I have. Hell I never have to set foot in the K of C hall ever again. The only thing that is going to be a burr in the side is how they went about it. Totally unprofessional. Well Adolf is slowly getting his way, and soon all that follow him will find out just what he is really like. "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it." I am not sure who said this but it makes perfect sense now.

I stopped after all this was over at Joe's and Charlie's houses. I told them both that they were the best people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with anywhere. I even gave Charlie a hug and told him to stay strong, he's in his 80's. I feel for him the most with how they treated us. Joe and myself both just said that is how those people are and there is nothing that we could do, but to talk and act like they did to Charlie was just plain wrong. I hope that he is able to keep a strong head and let this just go by as I will. Yes I will be a little mad, upset, ok down right fucking pissed at what they did but it will go away with time. I am looking at this at the perfect time for a new beginning. The start of a new year, a new family member(Kate), and a time to party. My mom said that I finally got my life back. And I do not say this much but she is right. And it came at the right time.

Well I need to get some other stuff done. For those of you that have made it this far, thanks for reading.

Ok I am getting a little pissed

Every time I try to log on to AIM I get the same message saying that there is something wrong with my internet connection. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AIM, scanned for viruses and spy/adware, even turned off my firewall. Nothing, I think that it is Tusco.net. Of course you talk to them and they just tell you that it is on your end and want to charge you to look at your system. It is just a little bit frustrating. If you really want to hear something funny, both Yahoo Messenger and ICQ work fine. To bad I do not use them anymore.

11 Places Women Want To Be Touched

AskMen.com. This one is a definite read for all the guys that get the headache or not in the mood response. Hell all men should read this just to try something different. The more I think about it women should read this one and then give their men subtle hints as to what they want. I will admit that I have used almost all of these in the past and... well I will not go into detail but it was an experience I will never forget. And Luke with you getting married in less then a week you might want to read this and surprise Kate on the your wedding night. And Kate if you read this before Luke, make him read it, you will not be disappointed.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Computer Version)

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a peripheral was stirring, not even a mouse.
The modem was plugged to the phone line with care
In hopes that a download soon would be there.

Our pirates were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of unprotects danced in their heads.
And Mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.

When up on the hard drive there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the monitor I flew like a flash,
Sat down at the keyboard, gave the spacebar a mash.

The sight on the screen, all a'flicker with snow,
Gave the luster of power surge to the menu below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But an autoexec.bat that seemed rather queer.

With a little print driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment I had seen a new trick.
More rapid than eagles the cursors they came;
My MIDI whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Format, now Rename, now Copy, and Enter!
On Num Lock, on Caps Lock, on Scroll Lock, and Printer!
"To the top of the page, to the top of the doc,
Now tab it and bold it and merge it and block!"

As utilities that build up the CPU speed
Clash with just the programs I need,
So up to the screen top the cursors they flew,
With a RAM full of memory and an expansion board too.

And then, in a twinkling I heard on the speaker,
The grinding of the hard drive growing much weaker.
As I tried to reboot and turn it around,
The attributes changed from blue into brown.

I hit the control, the alt, and delete.
The screen message it gave me, I cannot repeat.
It asked me to Ignore, Retry, or Abort.
It told me the parallel had become the comm port.

Its lights how they twinkled; its pixels how merry,
Its prompts were all scrambled, like a bowl full of cherries.
It sounded just like it wanted to blow;
The screen was suddenly white as the snow.

It scrolled its directory before my eyes
With programs I didn't even recognize.
It wouldn't see D:, it wouldn't see E:;
I couldn't get out of B: into C:.

Norton's tried to read it, finally finding the FAT;
But alas! The disk was faulty, and couldn't reformat.
Away flew the DBase; away flew the DOS-es;
Away flew the WordStar; right out with the Windows.

The spreadsheets were spreading; the footers were headings;
What once had been memory was close to forgetting.
When the grinding was over and the smoke had all cleared,
I looked at the hard drive; it was just as I feared.

The 600 meg wonder had crashed in the night;
I'll never be able to block out that sight!
So tell everyone you know to avoid my plight;
Back up your files! Merry Christmas! Good Night!

Death is in the air

All goes dark
The scent of something burnt
The sight of smoke
The fear that something has gone wrong
Sight of a dead body on the floor next to you
Touch of the cold on your hand
The fear that you could be next
Sadness fills the heart
Close of the eyes as you open the body
The scent of the charred remains is stronger then before
The relief that nothing else was harmed
The relief when all is calm again

I have had two loses in my life tonight. It saddens me to say that I lost 2 AMD XP 2600+ processors this evening. I can not help but fell that they had so much more to live for and I cut their lives short. I guess that I am a murderer. I just know that the PC police are going to find out and come take me away. I need to go bury the remains before anyone fines out. Then I am going to open a cold one and toast the 2 brave souls that gave their lives for my sadistic pursuit for faster clock speeds. Why!!!!!!!! Why not meeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

A Little Snip For Man Who Has Everything

A Little Snip For Man Who Has Everything. WTF!? WTF!? WTF!? WTF!? This is just wrong.

Time for a good laugh

A man, who smelled like a distillery, flopped down on a subway seat next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began reading.

After a few minutes the disheveled man turned to the priest and said, "Say, Father, what causes arthritis?"

"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much alcohol, and a contempt for your fellow man."

"Well, I'll be," the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"

"I don't have it, Father. I was just reading that the Pope does."

Secret Service listening to Eminem lyrics for threat to president

Secret Service listening to Eminem lyrics for threat to president. It states in the article that this is an unfinished song and it was lost or stolen. Me thinks the government is using P2P ie. Kazaa or limewire, to search for what they consider threats, which is a no-no now a days. And if this was a stolen the RIAA should step in and sue the Secret Service for having the stolen song, just like they sue innocent people for sharing their music on the net.
