OK!!! I will never install Windows 2000 on a machine of mine again!!!
For the second time I've had an error so bad that I had to reinstall the OS. The second time in two weeks! I was so angry. I was so angry that suddenly everything went green and when I came to my senses all of my clothes had been ripped up. Even my pants but for some reason they were only ripped up around the calves. Later I heard some reporter was around asking about some green giant that was seen in the area. The creature was so big he referred to it as "hulkish."
I'm thinking about burning my copy of Windows 2000. I am done.
My machine is about where I want it but it took most of the evening. Except for about an hour I spent at the Mag.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

This last week has been crazy at work. Everyday has been hectic and I only seem to be getting done with half the stuff I need to do.
I just watched Clerks again. What a great movie. Yeah, most of the acting is amateurish but it hilarious. Especially if you have ever worked with the public. Face to face. You really develop a hatred for a number of the shitheads you talk to at work. When I say shitheads I mean the customers that ask the stupid questions or expect you to do things that aren't part of your job.
Also they tell some great stories. Like the guy who broke his back trying to give himself a blowjob. Plus, the contract laborers who were probably killed when the Deathstar in Return of the Jedi was blown up. Since the Deathstar wasn't finished yet. The girl who had only had sex with 4 guys but had sucked 37 dicks because she only had sex with the guys she loved. The other girl who had sex with a dead guy. What a fine film.
I could go on but I need to get up early and run some errands. So I have to cut it short.
Good NIght, Good Morning, whatever.

Today's link of the day scares the fuck out of me.
Its called Digital Angel and it is the closest thing to 1984's Big Brother I have ever seen. This company is going to make it possible to track anyone in the world. Physically track them and know exactly where they are. The product even monitors your vital signs.
Of course it will be sold to parents so that they can "protect" there children. It will be sold to people who might be afraid they might have some sort of attack and need medical attention. It could be just a few little steps away from mandatory implants. There is a line on the webpage that says, "The unit can be turned off by the wearer, thereby making the monitoring voluntary. It will not intrude on personal privacy except in applications applied to the tracking of criminals."
I don't care how "safe" this could make people. I don't want the guv'ment to be able to track someone that efficiently.
I could see how it would start first. Felons would probably be the first people to get the implants. Because they've already lost some of their rights.
Little steps. Each one taking away our privacy.
"Little steps" are the reason the ACLU protects people the rest of society doesn't think deserve defense. Because each Right that gets restricted is another strike against our Freedom.
That's the end of my paranoid rant for the day.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I have gotten some feedback on the Louisville having more smartasses theory.

Subject: who's a smart ass
I hang out at the Mag Bar, I'm a smart ass, and I agree. I think it's the vitamin lead in the old Louisville water. It gives you the cynical pseudo-smartypants edge over the regular tap dancers... or... Option B.) the water just causes hallucinations of grandeur and we are really not that smart, just as some of the girls in vinyl pants are really not that good looking.
Well,...either way I would miss it if I woke up tomorrow in the Highlands.
I think most of the smartasses are smarter than the average bear. I mean if you try to be a smartass and don't have the brains to pull it off you will suffer the assault from someone a little quicker. Sammy for example... I have seen many a person try to out do Sam. That's pretty tough. I think the only way to do it is try to wait for him to have a particularly drunk night and ATTACK! The problem is when he gets to that phase of inebration, he will most likely just look at you and say, "I don't know. I'm a mess."
This kind of takes the fun out of it. DAMN! I just realized that Sammy still wins! Damn him!!!
In short if its a choice between option A or B, I have to go with the Old Louisville water giving us a "cynical pseudo-smartypants edge."
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Most of my friends are a bunch of smartasses. Myself included.
Now you may think this is a bad thing. If you do you would be incorrect. I think when 90% of your friends are smartasses it makes you smarter. If not smarter it at least keeps you from saying stupid things. The reason being that if you say something stupid it will not be let go. One of your good friends will make a smartass comment.
Cyrus was teasing this girl one night and Danny jokingly said, "If you would have done that to me I would have given you a mouthful of teeth."
There was a pause and I said, "Doesn't he already has a mouthful teeth?"
Hilarity ensued.
Everyone knew what he meant. He probably meant to say, "If you would have done that to me I would have given you a mouthful of Chicklets." Or something along those lines. But because we are all a bunch of smartasses we couldn't let it slide. At least I couldn't.
My friend Nikki who moved to Huntsville, AL was telling me that she hasn't been able to find people like us in Huntsville. I believe that there are smartasses in Huntsville. There are smartasses everywhere, but I think there may be a higher concentration of smartasses in the Louisville area. I have no evidence to support this and I may be wrong. BUT I can say with confidence that the Mag Bar has a higher percentage of smartasses than any other bar in Louisville.
If you think I'm wrong send me an email. If you think I'm right use this link.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I really need to get up early today and take care of a few errands.
The problem is that Monday is the day that I make no plans and I LOVE to sleep very late on Monday's. Its already 6AM and if I plan to do anything tomorrow I need to get to bed ASAP.
Joey sent me a link to this company that prints photos from digital cameras. They print them on Kodak Paper (tm) and ship them to you. The first 25 prints are free. Joey tried it out with a few pictures and he said the quality was great. If you sign up and they give you an opportunity to list the person that refered you make sure you put my email address in there quick@mrquick.net. I could get some free prints out of it.
I'll give it a try and keep you updated.
Sorry for the short post but its my bedtime.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I let the Happy Drinking Bird run out of water.
This is why I don't have a pet. I couldn't keep a toy going that only needed two shots of water everyday. He also has this white crust on the back of his head where minerals have built up from Louisville's hard water. His eyes fell off too. There both floating in his cup. All the plants I've ever had have died also. I don't think I should breed.
The end of the Clinton Presidency is at hand. In one week George W. Bush will be sworn in.
I'm going to miss Bill and considering how high his approval rating is, I won't be the only one. The rest of the people will probably be missing him in about 2 years. At least that how long I figure it will take for Dubya to lose the confidence of the American People and steer this ship into an iceberg.
My brother was trying to say that Bill Clinton did nothing to help this country's economy. I don't agree. I don't think any of his policies had a great effect but I believe that most of the People of the United States had confidence in him. They felt there was someone at the helm that wouldn't get lost. If people have confidence in their leader, they then have confidence in the country itself and in turn the economy. The economy basically runs on confidence. If people don't have faith in the economy there actions cause the economy to turn sour. This also works the other way. Faith in the economy equals a stronger economy.
I don't believe Dubya could find his ass with both hands and map.
I think I'm going to put my money in gold or something. Something tangible that holds value. Maybe crack rock.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.
