Well, this sucks

To any of you that know my current dilemma, I could really use some help. I don't think I've felt this torn in a long, long time. It's kinda like you've been with this chick for a long time and you love her. You have done and would do anything for her. She may be a bit rough around the edges, but she's all you've ever wanted and she was very good to you. Then, without reason or a hint as to what's going on, she starts screwing around... and rubbing it in you face.

About the same time, a new chick or two shows up. They're vacant, sure, but they're hot as hell (way hotter than the old one) and they're whispering in your ear that they can treat you WAY better than the bitch you're with now.

You love the old chick, and you'd rather be with her, but if you have any shred of self respect you have to do something.

Argh. Help.

White House Sidesteps Cheney Questions

LOL... Rove, Delay, Cheney... This (well, and 2000 Americans dead for no reason) is what you get when you elect a dipshit who claims that god speaks to him and whose only qualification is a promise not to get a blow job in the white house. Go USA!!!!

I burn

Every time I think of getting tattoo'd I think of " I burn" on my back. If you've never heard this song, you should.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

See ya around, Agent 86

I still laugh at that damn shoe phone. Yeah, I'm old.

Welcome to the world, Antichrist!!!

It has begun.

New Orleans Air Found Not Overly Polluted - Yahoo! News

Thank God, because we were all worried about the air... Because we knew the water was nothing to worry about. Jesus fuck this whole thing is wrong by the numbers.

Sun Microsystems

OK. Everyone who knows me knows that the only OS I hate more than Windows.... Oh wait, I hate Windows more than any OS. Anyway, I loathe Solaris. It sucks slightly less than AIX. I also hate Dell, even though I'm writing this on a Dell machine and there's two more within 10 feet of where I sit. Oh, and my work machine is a Dell. At least my Linux box is a real computer (built by me).

That being said, this is some funny shit and I wish Sun would have run with them.

Why can't I sleep?!

Dammit this pisses me off. I am the worst sleeper ever. Usually, it's because the brain won't shut off due to some work stress or similar garbage.... But I had a good day! I got everything done at work I said I would, I made it to the gym, I got to ride the bike around... Today rocked. Yet, it's 1 am and I'm still wide awake.

I'm watching some Roman history thing in a window on my Windows box as I write this. You want to understand how the U.S. works? Look at Rome. You want to see the future? Look at Rome.

What else? We'll I'm VERY happy with the new bike (Honda VYX 1300R). I still miss the old bike though. You know what? I just freaking love motorcycles.

Anyway, photos at www.jjandss.com as always.

OK, back to my insomnia.

What's all this then?

John and Shannon have a new toy! Hooray!

Mystery Bulge in Oregon Still Growing

Kitten Huffing

OMG... Lenny is going up my nose.

I was just looking at this picture again

Linkty link

I am so in love with this woman. I am an angry, bitter man... But every moment I spend with Shannon makes me delriously happy and rue the fact the we're not eternal. If I could, I'd do nothing else but hang out with her. All day, every day, forvever. She's my best friend and I'm amazed and overjoyed that she wants to be my wife.

Words to live by

Those of you that know me now that I base of lot of the decisions I make on the criteria found in the art of war. I also know that a lot of you won't read it because it's not exactly a page turner. Well, let me boil it down for you. If you take nothing else away from the book, remember this:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

You want success? Willing to do the work it takes to get it? Then live these words and you'll win. It boils down to this.... Every mentor I've every had, even those I know now to be fatally flawed but still worthy of thought, has told me the same thing. Choose your battles.

Well....

Very tired, very disenchanted, very disappointed in those I thought I could count on. Oh, and I'm 36 now. Hurray.

Things I've learned today

1) I have an uncanny ability to judge character and aptitude.
2) My neighbor's blackberries make a KICK ASS desert.
3) Bourbon provides absolutely NO relief from the burn of Mazzetta habanero sauce... OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST MY TOUNGE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maker's Mark, you have failed me for the last time! Oh what am I saying, you know I love you.
4) Hmmmm... Uhhhhh.... Well, F it that's it.
5) Oh wait I got it! I enjoy watching people being eaten by wolves.

OK, that's it. That's all that's all the knowledge I gained in the last 24. Hope it helps you.

Yep, it's one of THOSE rings :)
