questions



Who is the Nivea Soft girl? Why is that the only commercial I've ever seen her in?
Does the T.V season start later each year and finish sooner, or is it just me?
Why does a Baseball game, covered on only one major network, even a record setting come from behind win by the Sox, pre-empt programming on ALL other stations?
Only 60-some days left till Christmas - bet ya'll love to hear that!
Why is the cigarette habit the only thing I have a real problem dropping? No other booze or drugs have ever had this tight a grip on me, or done so much damage to both body and mind alike.
Why do I blog at 3:30 am when I should have been asleep long ago?
Is it too late to be asking such stupid questions?

the hotmail post - 250Mbs


So my hotmail account just leaped up to 250Mbs thats impressive, just when I was starting to hate the whole Microsoft corporation, they turn around and do this for me. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I think they should send me a couple hundred dollars for mental anguish before they think for a second that we are anywhere close to even. Then they can might get me to try SP2, again. Puter wouldn't even boot properly after puttin that "update" on. Maybe I should try again, they might have gotten another patch fixed up for it. uuungh I still don't wanna do that again, though that couple hundred dollars would be a big glob of grease for the wheels.

So, everything still sucks

Here I am, it's after midnight, pissing down rain outside, and "the Chris Rock" HBO special is paused on the DVD player. It's halarious. Rent it, buy it, borrow it, what ever you have to do, if you don't mind lots of "F" words and even more "N" words it's well worth the hour and a half you'll spend in front of the T.V that night. Just put the kids to bed first!

Gonna get $400 to create, build and implement a web site for the mother in laws travel agency and I can't seem to get my ass in gear to finish the friggen thing! I need the cash like yesterday, bills are just-a-piling up now, but I have no direction to go with it. Got the obligatory cool flash intro built and hosted all ready at a free hosting site though - click here if your curious to see it
Travel Universal Flash intro
But that's about all I've really got. Trying to get some cool CSS effects down before I launch into something for the world to see and hopefully open up some more bussiness for the agency.
I have free reign on this project and I'm starting to think I may work better when there's a specific agenda to follow, something that I need to produce to / for someone's exacting standards. I wrote 2200 words the last two days for part 1 of a short story (which isn't looking too short right now, by the way), which has as much likelyhood of getting published or even placing in a literary contest as I do winning the lottery, but can't get a simple web design project up and running for cold hard cash. I looked at templates on the web and the free ones for the most part suck, but I wasn't enamored with the ones that cost money either. They looked atrocious and I couldn't see myself nabbing one (or paying for it) and passing it off as my own, even after I changed everything around and put my own pictures and modified the layout, it would still suck.
So I need a kick in the ass to get my creative juices (a little html and css juices wouldn't hurt either) flowing and soon. Anybody got any ideas on how to get this kinda project up and running, dropping a line or a reply would be great.
Till next time -

Me.....a star?

Me....A Star!!

Well I could be! I think. I could do any one of those reality shows, really, how hard is it to pick up pigs hearts covered in blood with your teeth? Thats about the hardest thing I've seen on any of these shows yet. Or jump on a plane and "race" around the world? That survivor shit is the rough stuff though, not that I'm an asshole or anything like that, but I can't kiss ass enough (and I'm not pretty enough) to win a popularity contest like that. That bachelor sure has the easy ride though, dating and makin out with like 14 women, chosing which one he thinks will be the best in bed. And thats ONLY if he dosent get to test drive them before-hand. That would certainly make the decision easier, and a much more worthwhile study. I could do that job. Yeah, I could be star.
