When I purchased this domain some 5 years ago, I knew I would get a few hits from people looking for porn. Apparently… “a few” was a mild understatement.

Here’s a screenshot from my tracking software showing some of the more popular words people have typed in to the search engines this month… this is priceless!!

Who the hell would want to see some of those searches…. and what the hell do I have here that would show my site as positive for thus said content?

I love the web!

I’m working a normal shift today… 8 – 5. Well… semi-normal. I do have to do the graveyard shift as well.

So I’ll be up at 1:00 am for the 2 am – 10 am shift as well. It’s gonna be a long damn day.

Perhaps I’ll turn on the webcam for those of you who can’t sleep.

Last weekend was nice. I got together with two friends of mine, Mike and Sean. I haven’t seen Mike in 5 years (he moved off to Kansas) and it’s been nearly 2 years since I’ve seen Sean.

The 3 of us worked together in a hell hole that doesn’t exist anymore called Software Spectrum (well… it still exists, but only in a limited sort of way… the office we worked in went belly up a while ago). There are a great many entertaining stories I could tell about the adventures we used to have… the road trips, the smoking area, terrorizing Liberty Lake, WA on rollerblades, etc..

I hooked up with them on Friday and we killed a half-rack of Fat Tire Ale while playing catch up with each other.

Great times!

On Sunday, I took my son and his friend out to watch The Punisher. Violence-R-Us! It’s not a bad film, but it’s not a great film either. It was, however, worth the $6 matinee admittance I paid for each of us.

Other news: I’m trying to get info from my neurosurgeon’s office on my eminent surgery. I get cut 2 weeks from today and I need to let my work know what the down-time is for the procedure. I’ve left a message…. hopefully I’ll get a call back soon.

My wife is recovering from her surgery two weeks ago. She’s now allowed to drive again so she’s not locked into the house all day (though she’s such a hermit… that’s where she stays anyway). She’ll still have 2 weeks or so off when I get cut, so we’ll have some overlap.

That’s it for now… see ya at 2:00 am!

My little sister filled out her annual personal evaluation for her employer at the last possible second before shipping it off to both her boss and the vice president of her division. This is the thing her raise is based on.

Under the section of “Respect for Diversity” she put (and I quote):

“I am always courteous and understanding of my fellow workers. I am able to portray a professional and friendly attitude with all of my contacts to make a situation worse by adding inappropriate comments or attitudes. I enjoy working in a happy and professional environment and will do all I can to retain that type of atmosphere”

All I can say is…. It’s a damn good thing that the people she sent it to never read these things! Next year, I think she might proof read before she hits “send”.

I never laughed so hard in my life.

In other news: a good friend of mine is coming to town today for the Pixies reunion concert tomorrow. I haven’t seen him in a good number of years, so this should be fun!

It’s 3 am, and I’m bored.

While it’s unbelievably cool that I can work this shift from home, it’s still very lonely.

I’ve been passing the time between scheduled tasks listening to music on my laptop (with headphones, as to no wake my family). I’ve decided that out of my mp3 collection there are 4 unsigned bands who need some sort of recognition: Doll Factory, The Echoing Green, mrmoth, and ATP.

Favorite tracks by each:

Apparently, I have nothing new to say.

At least that’s what my wife told me. She’s heard all of my stories, multiple times. To her credit, she sits there while I blow nostalgia out my butt, softly smiling… but she’s heard them all before.

I need to have some new experiences.

It’s time to live on the edge… take risks… live life to the fullest! No more taking the safe road for me! No sir! I’ll be the extreme guy… jumping out of airplanes, snowboarding down dangerous slopes, wrestling alligators while holding a newborn baby in my arm!

I’m gonna start today! Yeah… I am!!

No more “same ol” for moi. Today… I’ll eat with my fingers, wear my socks inside out, and run around the house naked!

Hehe… that ought to put my kids in therapy for sure!
