>Why does my American Flag say “made in China”? It just doesn’t seem right. One would think that’s at least one thing we wouldn’t have to import.

>I’m back to burning rage mode. .:sigh:. I went home on lunch, just to check the place out — of course I left my house keys inside. So I could only walk around outside. I examined the window, found a stool on the side of the house… it had been dragged from the back yard to the point of entry. The screen’s locks were broken at the bottom, metal brace pulled away and the lock popped. I feel like anything could happen now… at any time. I’m upset that I can’t allow a breeze to flow through durring the day…

>Lots on my mind = lots of entries. This is a test — can I live in the gritty world of rap? Can I know street cred being so after the fact — coming to it, not growing up in it. I want this to play out — to prove one way or another if worst case will happen or not. I need to know if I can make it, if I can learn anything that would help others. Can a person raised in the woods make it in the city with the hoodlums? Should I just run away before…

>Thats it, just have to start selling my body. Any serious inquiries:: send them my way =]

>So maybe on a slighty more upbeat note, a few of my friends went to Phish this weekend — as always, a grand ol time. This guy is receiving the ultimate publicity — eBay banned sales of the artist’s “Axis of Weasels” playing cards. Heard of “Flash Mobbing“? Yeah, I got the 411. I’m jiggy with it. – mobproject.com – flashmob.co.uk Wow, here’s a new and original idea for a game. Wikipedia – an open source encyclopedia project.

>A few friends are going to check out the local pawn shops, see if anything might have popped up while I’m stuck here at work. Chances are no one would receive it because it’s such a hefty machine. Anyone coming to trade it in on a bike — probably shouldn’t have it. I would certainly love to find it, but I’m not overly optimistic at this point. It’s better that two of my female friends are going to check it out too — because then they wouldn’t suspect anything, and they’re really good at using their charm. Also found out…

>I’m a schmuck, a fucking schmuck. Do I need to come off as an asshole to make it in this world? If I’m a civilized human being will it continue to make me a target? It sure seems it, I must have a big shiny “shmuck” light popping up over my head. I suppose it’s my fault for living in a city. You have an increased element of crime, but as of late it seems things have been getting desperate for the street urchins. Trust has always been my downfall, time after time I look back and kick myself. Phil…

>So I figure there’s not much goin on this evening… and then there’s the whole thing that everyone planned for tonight. I’m going to get to the club late — that’s OK. I’m getting my outfit delivered so I can leave right from here. It’s been a while, I wonder if I can get in the groove. J is part everything. Can you give the wind a nationality, a color, a brand of denim? NO! Such is J.

>This week is brought to you by fore-thought: Have you bought or sold your textbooks for the upcoming semester? The secret shall remain just that… until I can take some time in Photoshop to do it right. =-] if you remember the URL you’re welcome to it, the sidebar will probably update 😉 Check out D I G I T A L C O N T R A D I C T I O N – new layout!

>Laura joined me for a drive around, we caught Danielle getting out of work when we popped in so we decided to make a day of it. We played some mini-golf, after driving for quite a while — just enjoying being out in the nice weather. It was a tad swealtering for a while, almost thunderstormed – was just about to let it rip when all the clouds dissapated. It saved our game of mini-golf. We went to the backwoods course in Southwick/Westfield. It was not very good, and I was thinking of adding various things to do around WesternMA…

>So I got out of work early yesterday, did a lot of running around — really feel like I got something done. Partied it up with some drinking games later on… passed out on the couch. 😉 It was a good night. I woke up fairly early (for a saturday) and was just chillin when Laura popped up. We had a really long in-depth discussion, brought up a lot of stuff that was bothering both of us, just to get it out and said. Nothing between us, just about other goings on… and believe I’ve gotten to a rather large…

>ACK. stuck in lofi again… .:sigh:. Why not buy some movies and music while the gettin’ is hot — $4 off every DVD, VHS, & CD! ** Security Note ** It’s always good to know what the underworld’s up to. A rather interesting spin on the conservative right and what it all boils down to. Cops sit and wait to nab racers @ rally, broken up by premature police-ation – 194 still arrested.

>I told Phil to be out today. It didn’t go over well, I’m scared.

>I added a few things just for fun, playing with the idea – see if you can find the secret… and the horribly outdated, unmaintained webpages! Yay! Geeks finally publish a study to justify their existance. I found a photoblog with some really nice pictures from Japan. I only wish they were background sized. To answer the question you’ve been asking yourself since the beginning: “What is Phenylalanine?” Taj Mahal is playing at the Iron Horse in NoHo Aug 4th and 5th.

>blogger 1 blogger 2 poor little rich man There is nothing more angering then someone violating your trust. I know who took my xbox game at the party back in March as now more are missing. I just don’t know what route to take. My instinct says beat him up… find him and get my money back (as he’s already sold them). That would then create turmoil. He’s got nothing to lose, and he’d certainly retaliate. I’m worried about him breaking into the house, my car, or doing some sort of damage. I wouldn’t put any of it past the…

>Heads up on some low-priced top-notch footwear: Doc Martin’s are $35! Check out this and other Daily Deals! Also, I just posted some of my favorite XBox games. (sponsors page)

>I have to re-size the pictures from the RevItUp event @ home, M$ Photo Editor just doesn’t cut it – but I did manage to make this one look all artsy. If you have yet to catch it, make sure you see Bonzai! on Fox, it’s… interesting.

>Last entry got me thinking about the pictures page. It hasn’t moved since the digi-cam broke, attempted to look at a cell phone w/ photo today — 2 more months to get a discount. *humph* just as well, don’t really need it. I’ll borrow mum’s. =]

>How bored am I… just added some quotes to the ‘mobile’ section. If anyone has a WAP/Web enabled cellphone, give the mobile page a shot — not sure how WAP friendly it is, last I knew the only ‘requirement’ was XML… so maybe I need a direct link to the XML. I don’t know right now… eyes drooping, itch infallible.

>poison… ivy… must… stop… itch. its getting to my brain, drip drip drip, boing. drip. boing. auorlglglglglgl…. .:sigh:. Can’t sleep — maybe I should have sprung for the $7.50 bottle of calahist lotion, name brand vs current $4.29 Walgreens which does not seem to help. I’m awash in itch.

>I was just reading a story about a giant catfish in Germany. They say at the bottom that Bremen will stuff the dead fish and put it in a museum. I made a little joke about “The Bremen Musicians” – the fairy tale… where they’ll probably put it atop a donkey along with a cat… blah blah blah. No one had heard of it that I asked, so I looked it up. Not only did they have info ‘about’ the story: The Bremen Town Musicians, they had an animated story book in Flash! That then led me to classicfairytales.com which…

>Here’s an interesting blog: The Super Hyper Mega Ultra Blog…of Death I’m not sure where the “…of death” moniker originated, but I tend to use it a lot as well. It sure sounds like these guys thought they had it all down pat. Turns out that wasn’t quite the case. If you are looking for some fun, and have a research grant to spend, try this: Visit an American university, bump into random students in the corridor and loudly call each one ‘asshole’. Then measure their reactions. This is what a team of psychologists did in a controlled experiment at…

>My buddy Jay just uploaded the pictures to my iDisk from the Mazda RevItUp driving thingy. They’re large, but there’s a preview that might be helpful in finding the cooler ones 😉 (camera was new Sony 4-5mp w/ 10X zoom, memory stick v2.0) Going to Boston any time soon? There are still a few places to smoke. I haven’t tried this yet, but here’s a 20 questions game/script. Check out babyink.com!

>Sadaam’s Sons photos released of bodies Well, they say they’ve got proof – hardly recognizable, and the xray doesn’t look like anything… and what’s this about 90% matchup on the dental records for one of them… is it 70% on the other guy and thats where they get the 80%??? Still — it’ll probably help, maybe quiet things down a little – give the soldiers a break. Worse case scenario would be that it’s not them, and this would probably make them come out of hiding to prove otherwise if it isn’t. “Mountain Dew saved my god-damned life!” – A…
