saturday, march 8
fake summer or warmth tease have you noticed i complain a lot about the cold? sorry. i'm not normally a complainer. well, not unless i'm cold... today it's 73 degrees. awesome. it's the first warm day since like 1965 it seems. they say only 45 tomorrow and snow by monday. isn't that special. so anyway i got out the ole shorts and t-shirt today and started my stretches. then i went downstairs to get the ole Trek and lo-and-behold, a flat front tire. nix that idea. so, i just went running. now, i have to admit, i've gained a few pounds since i quit eating right. i mean, the two pieces of cheesecake i had yesterday are showing their true colors today. it's called blubber. anyway, i went running. about 3/4 of a mile was all i could do. i was nearly dead when i returned home. isn't that pathetic? but, hey, that's 3/4 more of a mile than you probably did. and funny thing (not really) but now i feel really good. i'm pumped. i'm tired, and blubbery, but pumped. i'm ready to go riding the bike. i even spray painted the bike rack and mounted it on the car. i'm ready. so, come on snow, get it overwith. i'm ready for HOT. i'd prefer to sweat and freeze any day. let's get it on. ? 3:07 PM friday, march 7 blogs. are they important? consider this for a minute... Google, one of (if not) the biggest Internet related companies recently bought Blogger, the company with whom this blog (and thousands others) are hosted. why? links. as you can see from my blog, and many others like it, blogs are links. even the software and templates on your blog are linked. so why is Google interested, enough to pay good money for a blog company? links. you see, Google, along with other search engines, use crawlers, spiders, or bots to gather their data. these crawlers do just that, they crawl around the web. if they come to your home page, and you have links to your kids pictures, your family tree, and your favorite tofu recipes, they will first categorize your site (using keywords and descriptions, if you've entered any) and then 'remember' the links you had on your page. then the crawler goes to the tofu site, and there it finds links to sites such as alternate cooking and caffeinated soap. so it (once again) categorizes your site, and presses on to those other links. at some time in the future, the Googlebot will get around to those links, and go and categorize those sites. that's how google gets most of it's information. that's also how you get listed in search engines without ever trying. someone somewhere linked to you. and someone linked to them. and someone linked to them. google found you. google found me. where am i going with all this? i'm glad you asked. recently, Dr. Pepper, looking for a new marketing strategy for a new milk-based drink, decided that marketing their product via blogs was worth a try. apparently it worked. there's a bunch of hype about it now. and even some anti-hype, which was most likely part of the plan, also. so when you read blogs like this, and you wonder, WTF? just remember, big companies are watching, and indirectly using your blog to further their goals. slouching why do i slouch when i'm cold? does that slight curve in my spine bring my layers of blubber closer together, therefore producing a calming effect of warmth? perhaps. i notice it most in the morning, while sitting in the car. i do it a lot, driving in, when suddenly i realize that my back is screaming for relief. at that point i'll sit up straight, and lo-and-behold the temperature does not change. i feel no colder or warmer. so why do i slouch? i dunno. maybe it's every human's tendency to want to return to the fetal position when uncomfortable? when i dye my hair blonde, people have told me i look like Eminem. but i digress... someone steal your lunch? call the Feds umm... [18+] carol - you gotta do some of these. i'll bet you do very well, too - especially on this one geek news: new speed record for internet data Thursday sept. 4th is the first day of NFL 2003/2004 so you think you know music? name that tune thursday, march 6  warmth, where are you?i'm so tired of being cold. mom said they make something called flannel-lined jeans. i need about 10 pair. or i need a job in Phoenix. it's a dry heat, you know. It's become almost routine for members of the American press to throw dumb or leading questions at members of the Bush administration. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Secretary of State Colin Powell seemed so well prepared for the shifty question recently hurled at him by an Iraqi reporter. According to the New York Post, one of Saddam's newshounds asked Powell, "Isn't it true that only 13% of young Americans can locate Iraq on a map?" guy hires hitman to take out his wife - he made a fortune ($4.5M) and didn't want her to get half. like she'd only take half... dog mauls little boy while his schoolmates cry in horror
still happy with the new car. driving to work in the durango would cause me to be in this situation before long dangit - more human shields leaving iraq - i was hoping for some carnage to stupid anti-american morons wednesday, march 5  who's idea was this? orit's steak and potatoes wednesday i bust my you know whats for this place. why? i'm not sure. i'm not really fond of coming in at 4AM. especially in the rain. no, especially in the pouring sleet. i love walking in from a dark parking lot through the middle of downtown St. Louis at ten minutes to 4:00. makes me smile. then as the sleet poinks (that's one of my kids' words) down on my head, i decide to frickin' RUN because i'm tired of being, well, poinked. and of course being this time of day, all the easy-to-get-in doors are locked, so i have to run through even more sleet and halfway around the block to get in an unlocked door. yeah, i love it here. maybe it's time for me to move on, after all... morons of the day: "human shield" volunteers in Iraq fear for their safety - now that's funny a lady from the Chicago area stole some horses. then, to disguise her newfound friends, she decided she'd better paint them - great idea ooooohhhh - so that's what a slush fund is...! what if, on Ash Wednesday, for Lent, you give up not eating meat on Friday? | apparently the virgin mary hangs out at a fence post by a cliff in Australia - but apparently you have to squint to see her. now we know. feel-good story of the day - two girls, twins, grew up close to each other but never knew each other reunited after 20 years it looks like that stupid email about people selling your organs on the black market may be true after all! ok i played 20 questions twice, and both time it went way over 20. first was 25, second was 28. so much for A.I. umm... cool duck shootin' game - how about squirrels?! Why are monster-movie zombies so horrifying and talking animals so fascinating? squeamish links: on, man, show me yours and i'll show you mine | don't click here dance like jacko. just don't sleep with little boys, please. the Dept. of Homeland Security is having a logo contest china is going to exploit the moon. and it's because of a fairy tale. great. monday, march 3 blog later. stats day. fun. ? 11:21 AM sunday, march 2 next year's halloween mask no war - and no butts about itsays this guy unga bunga - we make baby | smoochy smoochy - we try to make baby too iraq - prepare to get your asses kicked HOME |
