 insert reminiscent comment about 2002 herescrew that. 2002 was an ok year, nothing too thrilling. finally got out of the god-forsaken house from hell and into a nice townhome. the kids got older and more expensive…
having 3 boys is going to be a real problem here in about 5 years when they are all teens. I hope to have 4 jobs by then to provide an endless supply of high-carb food for them to scarf down (and ask for more, I’m sure). when i was growing up, my brother and i could go through a gallon of milk a day. maybe i should start thinking about buying a cow.
thanks to ultimate insult my hits are now at an all-time high. wow, now i know what it’s like to be famous. ok maybe not. but hey Scott thanks for the link!
speaking of hits, wtf happened on december 13th? according to my stats, i got a 1000% increase in hits that day. how bizarre.

i got a 159.3 after about 5 attempts, see if you can do better
 early, but latei got to work at 7:30 this morning. that’s earlier than usual, but not what i wanted. my alarm started going off at 4:50. you’d think i could drag my butt out of bed by, say, 6:00 but not me. oh well. we were up ’til midnight last night watching a movie. it was ok. just ok. had some funny parts in it, but i’m glad i didn’t pay 8 bucks at a theater to watch it.
all the snow if gone. now that’s what i call a decent snow. here 3 days, and gone. even a large amount like that, i’m glad it’s gone. the kids built a snowman on saturday. i realized the temp was in the 50’s and i figured the snow would be wet. they went out and made a good attempt. by 5:00 PM it was withering away and by yesterday afternoon it was a pile of rocks and a construction hat. this morning when i was leaving for work it was 62 degrees. YES!
good lord i finally fixed the blogger 503 error. blogger says they are working on it but they are full of crap. shoot, i’d probably say that too if i had no idea how to fix it. but i figured it out. seems that my archive template was hosed. i found the default text for it and dumped it in there and did a republish all. we should be good to go now.
i went dumpster diving last night, well kinda. i had to run some movies back and on my way out i noticed that there was a trash can down the street with a computer on top of it. i thought, well, on the way back, if it’s still there i’ll grab it. so on my way back, it was still there. problem is, there was a car behind me and a car parked next to the trash can. so both lanes were blocked. so i did a once-around and came back to it again. i jumped out, grabbed it and cruised off. it seems that there was also a 15 inch montitor and keyboard in there but i was too chicken to grab it. too noisy. anyway i probably should have. right after christmas and all, someone probably got a new personal confuser and just tossed the old one. well anyway i took it home and took it out of the truck. it says its an AMD K2 with MMX which tells me it’s at least 233MHz. cool. i need an older PC to put Linux on. the one kev gave to me never did work. i think he thinks he gave away a good machine and i owe him or something. after all, he paid like $150 for it. but hey, it doesn’t work. he can have it back. i put together a table in the garage that i’m gonna start using for computers and that one is on there to take apart for parts. it’s no good, and i’m not messin with it. i wish it worked, shoot. it’s a 166MHz which would make a great MP3 player for me in the garage. but oh well, no big deal. maybe this other one will boot up. and if it works just fine, i’m gonna be upset that i didn’t grab the monitor and other stuff too…
i’m considering getting out of the computer fix-it business again. i’m reading a real good book and i’m thinking i may be spreading myself too thin. for now i’ll keep doing the fix-it thing for side money but if i can get this thing to take off and i have a decent and constant flow of money i’ll phase out of the computer fix-it stuff. unless, of course, there are enough fix-it jobs coming in that i can open a shop or hire a college kid to do them… that’d be cool. my dad always wanted to own and operate a business and i KNOW that if he were alive today, i’d already have one full time. he loved computers and although he never got to see the “real” internet, i know he’d love it. he’s about the only person i’d ever consider to partner with me in this business venture. oh well, can’t dwell on it now.
watched several other movies over the weekend. coyote ugly | murder by num8ers | death to smoochy | the lucky texan (john wayne - 1934)
it’s also time for me to get back to the thing. you know, the thing. everyone says they are going to, but hey, i’ve proven it once, and i’m starting to bulge in the wrong places. my arms have slimmed down and my belly has increased proportionally. i guess i could blame it on carol and all those yummy snacks she made, but hey, it’s my own fault. i wonder if my relatives are talking about it when i’m not around… hmm.. probably. they used to say it aloud, but you know, when you lose weight and then gain some back it’s usually a different thing… "that will, he was so thin for a while there, but now look at him, growing like a sponge soaking water… what a porker"
 lots going on. dylan is sick and has been for (going on) three days now. he was up half the night again. i’m not sure if he was throring up or just awake because he was so drowsy all day long. i’m sure carol is going to be not-so-happy when the other kiddos get up this morning. my poor wife doesn’t get much sleep nowadays…
christmas was nice. i’m very glad it’s over. now it’s time to start digging out from all those expenses. we had people over both days. it was nice. ham was good. carol baked some awesome snacks. i got a real nice wallet and a ’spensive Norelco electric cordless shaver. it’s the one with the goo that squirts out. very nice. however i think the snacks were the highlight of the holiday for me. yumm…
my brother is leaving town today. guess he’s on his way home already. the girls and his g/friend got to see more snow than they’ve ever seen before. good for them. now i wish it’d melt away.
i didn’t win the powerball. dangit. and they guy who did win - apparently he was already a millionaire. thanks a lot. ugh. and speaking of the powerball: a few people won $100,000 including three people in Missouri. my mom bought me a ticket. it’s all cool until someone wins. if I won the 315 million, so what. everyone in the family could have some. but what would happen if we won the 100,000? that’s not even enough for a house. but yet, if someone else purchased the ticket, wouldn’t you feel like you ‘owed’ them some money? when i heard there was a 100k winner from o’fallon, i think i was actually relieved that it wasn’t me. i mean, just the headache of having some money but not really enough to openly share would be a bummer. after taxes, 65k could get my truck paid and another car, pay off my lease and a down payment on our house. but then what? a little shopping and you’re out of money again. i guess it would be a good thing, but i’m still kinda relieved it ‘wasnt’ me… maybe that sounds stupid so shutup. i know what i mean.

AN ARKANSAS CHRISTMAS…
‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AND ALL THROUGH THE SHACK,
NOT A DARN THING WAS A MOVIN’, FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK.
THE KIDS WERE IN BED, WE HAD NINE AT THE TIME,
THE WIFE IN HER CURLERS, WAS LOOKIN’ REAL FINE.
A COLD WIND WAS BLOWIN’, UP THE HOLLER IT MOANED,
TEN DOGS ON THE PORCH ALL HOWLED AND GROANED.
THE BOYS WERE ALL DREAMIN’ OF WEAPONS AND GUNS,
FOR KILLIN’ GOD’S CREATURES, …THERE’S NO BETTER FUN!
THE GIRLS IN THEIR FEMININE DREAMS WERE ATTUNED,
TO GETTING THOSE GALLONS OF WAL-MART PERFUME.
THE WIFE WANTED JEWELRY, LIKE RINGS WITH BIG ROCKS.
I JUST WANTED MY CHEVY DOWN OFF OF THEM BLOCKS.
THEN OUT IN YARD, SUCH A NOISE DID COMMENCE,
LIKE SOMETHING WAS CAUGHT IN OUR NEW BOB-WAR FENCE.
I RAN TO THE WINDOW, AND SAW PRETTY QUICK,
THE MAN MAKIN’ THAT RACKET, WAS GOOD OL’ ST. NICK.
YOU MAY THINK OF SANTA IN YOU OWN MIND’S EYE,
DRESSED IN A RED AND WHITE SUIT, BUT I’VE GOT A SURPRISE.
THAT OLD BOY’S AN ARKIE, FROM UP NEAR MT. GAYLOR,
HE MARRIED HIS COUSIN, AND THEY LIVE IN A TRAILER.
ON CHRISTMAS, OF COURSE, A SLEIGH FOR HIS RIG,
HE HOOKS THE THING UP TO A RAZORBACK PIG!
HE CLIMBED ON THE ROOF, WITH HIS BAG FULL OF GOODIES,
HE BACKED DOWN THE FIREPLACE, ALL DIRTY AND SOOTY.
FAT LEGS IN HIS BRITCHES, CHUBBY HANDS IN HIS MITTENS,
I MUST ADMIT FROM THE BACK, HE LOOKED LOTS LIKE BILL CLINTON.
HE TURNED TOWARD THE TREE, HIS EYES ALL AGLOW,
HE WAS AN ARKANSAS BOY FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS TOE.
HIS NECK WAS A RED ONE, HIS SHIRT SAID “LITE BEER”,
HE HAD NO RED HAT ON, BUT HIS CAP READ “JOHN DEERE”.
HE LEFT ALL THE PRESENTS, WITH AN AIR OF DELIGHT,
THEN IT WAS BACK TO THE CHIMNEY, AND INTO THE NIGHT.
HE RAN INTO THE YARD, THREW HIS BAG IN THE SLEIGH,
THEN HE YELLED AT THE DOGS, “GET THE HELL OUT TH’ WAY!”
I RAN OUT TO ASK HIM WHY HE BROUGHT SUCH GOOD CHEER;
BUT INSTEAD HE JUST ASKED ME, “YOU GET YOU A DEER?”
THEN I HEARD HIM EXCLAIM, AS THOSE PIGS TOOK FLIGHT,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL…I NEED A BUD LITE!”
 i could get used to this…one day on and two days off. now that’s the way it should be.

my personally favorite browser, Opera is now available in 7.0 beta - note: it seems that Opera 7.0 beta install will install in a different folder (C:/Program Files/Opera7) which screws up all your favorites. It also "takes over" all your desktop icons that pointed to 6.0 so you can’t go back and see what they were…

our kids are going to start public schooling on Jan 6, 2003. they are currently in a private school. from uniforms to no uniforms. from morals to anything goes. from rules to do what you want. i really hope this isn’t the wrong choice we are making. if all goes well, carol will be babysitting soon and will be bringing in some money. if that pans out, we will be able to afford good schooling for our children again next year. also, our house will be completed next year and we will be moving over the summer, hopefully.
i’m the chair for our upcoming Hawaiian Shirt Day in January. so i get to do some running, getting sandwiches, punch, lots of coordination, etc. its taking so much of my time that i’m considering putting it on my resume. of course, then again, people would see that and expect it out of me in the future. how did i get hooked into this, anyway?

on the Yahoo! home page the other day there was an article saying 27,000 troops have been called up. this number is most likely false. this article quotes 300,000 troops going to beat Saddam’s booty. that probably doesn’t count the amount of Navy Seals, Army Rangers, and Green Berets already in Iraq.

brainiac hacks into school computer system - and lowers his own grades!
must doas the computer geek in the family, when you come across a new and exciting piece or method of technology, you feel obligated to pass on the information to your family and friends. i’ll share this information with you in a minute, but first, a story: i am the oldest of only two children in my family. although i was always ‘bigger’ than my sibling, i always seemed to probably lose a majority of the fights that we participated in. i was always a good kid, and my brother was not. he was mean, wicked, and downright evil at times. oftimes my mother would find my sitting quietly in my room playing with my cars and she’d smile. moments later, she’d hear my brother walking into my room, and then caios would usually occur shortly thereafter. he was mean. always. i was good. always. with all that said, may i now introduce the newest innovation in world wide web technology: the brother bender. love ya, kev!

Woman sues Wal-Mart for calling cops over topless pics of her 3-year- old daughter
Tamie Dragone says Wal-Mart employees humiliated her and invaded her family’s privacy after some photographs of her 3-year-old daughter — topless and playing in the family’s kiddie pool — were turned over to Salina police. She was detained for about 45 minutes at the store and questioned extensively by officers about the photos. She eventually was allowed to leave, but without the pictures. lina Journal) - thank you to obscurestore
