Excuse Our Mess.

I finally decided to upgrade my blog to the new system. My readers (both of them) will notice some new stuff, like the new template (which will change at my whim) and the tags. I have to manually tag all my posts, and some of them might end up with 3 or 4 tags - so it's going to be an ongoing process. When the tagging process is complete, you'll be able to sort by tag, so you read only posts dealing with alpacas or britney spears, if such is your desire, you sick fucker. Anyway, this post here is the first one I will give the tag of "upkeep". the "upkeep" tag will be applied to all the posts dealing with blog upgrades, downtime, and so on. I'll post and describe what all my tags mean once I'm finished. Here's a tag that isn't intuitive, and as such needs explained now: brain farts. Brain farts are the weird little random posts that serve no purpose and inform of nothing. If I just get the weird urge to say "mexican belt!" or something, I'll tag that one a "brain fart" Anyway, Enjoy.

extra-fancy

So somebody told me to update This Old Blog (hosted by Bob Vila's brother, Wheela). He said something to the effect of "perhaps you should think about updating that blog of yours, as it seems to be gathering a bit of dust." Actually, he said "Update your blog, fucker." but I got the general meaning.
Anyway.
I decided that yeah, I have been more than sporadic as of late, and I was kinda getting tired of the design anyway, so I used my L33T HTML skillz and clicked the button for this new template I'm using. I've resolved myself to be more on-point with the updating, so stay tuned. Also note that I've been on here since september of 2000 and I've got like 200 posts to look at, so go there, too.

link of the moment: Just for old times' sake, the llama song.
word of the moment: engaged and let's just leave it at that, shall we? You could say I was... engaged in a relationship with someone and that we were... engaged to be married at some poi- crap, I gave it away, didn't I?

You may have noticed

You may have noticed that a lot of my older posts have dead links.
tough.

Some of those links, the page just died. some of them (especially the pictures I used to post) were hosted on my free web server which went under just before I went offline. At some point I plan on putting those images back up, but I'll likely never try to track down the old dead links. The web is a dynamic place, and statically linking to points within it is at best a risky endeavour.

I'm baaaa-aaack.

I'm back online.
yay me!
it took, uh *cough* a bit longer than expected, but here I am.
yeah, so, Hi.


Hmm, probably should have done that with a bit more panache. Naw.



music of the moment: "Pork Soda" by Primus. Maybe it's something similar, you know, like your team lost or your girlfriend used to be a guy... I don't know - it's not like I went to college or anything. I've been listening to unhealthy amount of primus lately. Too much primus makes one odd. er. odd-er.

word of the moment: Hiatus, for obvious reasons. I like that quote in the definition. Now, I am a linguaphile, so you also get flense, adulation, primus and emigre. I define Linguaphile as: Someone who really really enjoys telling you what a linguaphile is. Or: Someone who reads a dictionary without wanting to look up a word. I collect dictionaries...

In the meantime, please enjoy this crap.

I'm still offline, sad face.
This post will contain no alpacas or llamas, or any other hooved mammal,winky face.
It will also not contain any emoticons or chatronyms, because those things move me to odium,smiley face.
This is mostly just a heads-up from a friend's house, laughing out loud.

In other news- what is it with pigs being the breakfast animal?
Has anyone else noticed that the unassuming little porcine end of the meat spectrum has a monopoly on breakfast? Ham, bacon, sausage... ever had a breakfast with chicken? beef sometimes rears it's meaty head, but by and large it is the pig who owns the table before noon. These are the things I wonder about, late at night, when any sane person would be asleep.

Everything is going black...

For the umpteenth time in it's history, the braindump is going offline.
I'm moving.
I'm only moving across town, and I live in a small town. and I mean really small.
But in any case, I will have to wait at least 2 weeks, and maybe
longer before I can afford to get dsl (which I like to pronounce like "diesel") and once again bring the joy of my brain to all my millions of fans.

word of the moment: uh... it's a spanish word for a type of cloth.

music of the moment: what else, baby? granted, that one is about llamas, but we can't blame the unwashed masses for their lack of sophistication, now can we? I can. Stupid unwashed masses.

I'm a wanderer.

You know, I've been reading thru some of my posts, and realized some of them may be a little hard to read. Not because they use fancy words or anything, but because of the way they are structured. You gotta realize that these things are almost all posted off the top of my head. I'll get an idea and go "hey, I need to post that" and go post, without any idea of what the content will be. As a result of the way my thoughts stream, and the way my brain works, some of these posts kinda wander around, and lots of them get confusing as I weave in and out of the subject. This is why I can end up talking about those ballpits in the chuck e cheese for 4 paragraphs, in the middle of a paragraph about wookiee hairstyles.

I'm a B-boy, standing in my B-boy stance, hurry up and gimme the microphone before I bust in my pants.

I just realized something

I am God here. I rule completely and totally. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I rock. That's really a powertrip, being omnipotent. Holding domain over something. I hold this whole world in my hands. Somebody kneel.

word of the moment: frottage. Frottage is getting your jollies by rubbing up against people who don't know you are getting your jollies rubbing up against people. Think about that the next time you get on a bus...

Sorry

I run at 1600X1200, and I only now looked at this thing in 800X600, and... I'm real sorry. I hope that, with time, everyone who views the web at 800X600 will go blind, and I can stop worrying about how ginormous this page looks at lower resolutions.

I'm sorry.

ho-lee crap!

How about that - almost exactly a year between posts! Keen.

(yawn)

So, I was offline for a long time. And it sucked real real real bad. I mean like real bad. Like it sucked more than a prostitute at a vacuum cleaner store in a black hole. But I lived. I'm now back, and I intend to make a couple changes. Like for example: I ain't linking to the mp3 of songs that get stuck in my head anymore. When I was hosted on a friend's box, that was cool. Aloof hosting (my current host) doesn't allow them, so feh. Right now I'm actually kind of tired and don't feel like doing it, but at some point soon I'll flood this thing with the various stuff I wrote down during "The Dark Ages".

word of the moment: resurrection For obvious reasons. Just look at the date on the last post, for chrissake.

The news of my death has been pretty much spot on.

I am posting from the great state of Illinois. whee. I live in Spauldo's basement, which is cool. Not really a whole lot to say, really, except that I think you should go check out Homestar Runner Strong Bad is cool.



Current Music: "House of the rising sun", only it's the live version by oysterhead. Oysterhead being les from primus and the guy from phish.

Stuck in my head: "Jacking for beats" by Ice Cube, of all things... I remember liking the video, tho.

HOT NEW FEATURE! NOW WITH PECANS!


yeah, so nevermind the title. I decided to add yet another new nifty thingy to my weblog posts: Stuck In My Head. I'll have the current music I'm listening to, and if some random song gets stuck in my head, I'll go download it and link to it here. Teeheehee. Yes, I am fully aware that this violates copyright laws, but I don't actually care. I looked around, I did, honestly, for my "caring about those worthless idiotic artist-denying record-company-fatcat-empowering cashcow copyright laws" gland, but it seems it's all withered up and dried out. Now, I'm not one of those people who has vowed to never ever buy another game or movie or cd again as some kind of protest - I've spent over a hundred bucks on stuff like that in the last couple weeks. but if I want the theme from 'I dream of Jeannie' I'm by god not going to go out and buy some tv themes cd. In any case, here ya go- I've already done it, but now it's official and stuff:

current music: bile's cover of 'My Generation', which is highly recommended by like, me, and I'm the authority on me, so go get it.

Stuck In My Head: It's The theme from 'I dream of Jeannie', and 'Sunglasses at Night' by Corey Hart. Yeah, my internal jukebox is a sick fuck.

Holy Crapamoli

In 2 days, this blogger will be 2 years old. Jeez, I feel old now.
