Ahh, Yes Christmas time again. It's time for presents and food and good times...good times. I thought in this most magical of times I would share with you my ode to Christmas and that jolly old Saint we all know and love.
"'Twas the Day Before Christmas"
'Twas the day before Christmas and all over the net,
no boobies were posted that I hadn't seen yet.
I searched on Fazed and I searched on Fark,
but could only find Paris and mostly in the dark.
When out on the forum arose such a clatter,
I stopped my download to see what was the matter.
I expanded the window and blocked the damn ad,
then enlarged the text to see what was it they had.
It was a jolly old man in a wheelchair and flag,
and he had 8 tiny babes in nothing but rags.
They moaned and they groaned the closer they came,
he grabbed their asses and called them by name.
Now Aria, now Gauge, now Tawnee and Jenteal!
On Jenna, on Ginger, on Silvia, on Sydney Steel!
They steered the chair of the round man and his belly,
their boobies all jiggling like a bowl full of jelly.
I knew in a moment it must be St. Flynt,
the horny old man who sent Hustler to print.
He went straight to his work and posted his pics,
and the forum was covered with a flurry of chicks.
He posted women who were 18 today,
and some hot little cutie who was spread in the hay.
He posted some milf and some natural beauties,
and some women with silicone that filled up their titties.
He posted and posted with magical speed,
as I sat quietly admiring his deed.
The pictures stopped just as quick as they came,
he ended his post and signed not a name.
He jumped in his chair and pinched Tawnee's nipples,
and away they all flew with the jolly old cripple.
But I heard him exclaim as he was wheeled out of sight,
new pics to all and to all a hole tight!
Merry Christmas to you and yours from all of us at Visual Prozac!!!

Hello there. Not much going on here. Have a new rant up in the rants section. Christmas is getting close, has everyone been a good little boy and girl so Santa will bring u lots of presents? I'm hoping for a pony this year, or was that porn?

How's it going maggots! After what seemed like forever, the Slipknot site has been updated. The now have a cool little teaser trailer on there that says stay tuned...Stay tuned we will. You will need the latest version of the QuickTime Player which you can find here. U can skip the "ITunes" install, all u need is the player. Well my Thanksgiving was uneventful, lots of turkey and sleep. Perfect if u ask me. Back to work today after 4 days off kinda sucks but what can you do. There is always bank robbery, and just think if you would get caught u would be put up in a nice bed with a roommate, all the sex u could want, free meals, possible death. I think I will steer clear of that option. I'm planning on winning the lottery and retiring...umm...i think i have to play 1st if that is going to work. I added a new site to my "HodgePodge" links, It is Entensity.net. They have links to funny sites, movies, boobies, everything you could ask for in a website.

Well, the game is over...http://www.metacortechs.com/mumowmow/ Pretty fucking shitty ending if you ask me. It is like they just stopped in the middle of the story. It also looks like it was just a bunch of people that threw this together and it has no official link to the movies or anything. Now i guess I'll actually have to do something now other than look for clues. Damn, and i was starting to feel like one of the scooby gang and now its over. On the home front, there are only 3 days till thanksgiving. Time to over eat and sleep the rest of the day...umm..wait, i do that now. We'll have a grand ole' time. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Wow, 2 updates in the same month. I'm making up for the months i missed. Have you found anything interesting on the metacortex site? No? Go here... and join us in our quest. There is a ARG based around the Metacortex site. It went live in October and has been building from there. There has been no official announcements as to who is behind this or that it is even happening. I believe that it is an official Matrix game and given that the brothers have been overseeing everything related to the movies, I would say that they wrote the script for this also. ARG by the way is Alternate Reality Gaming and it is meant to seem real, they have done a pretty good job of it so far. There has been chat sessions with the main character in the game and just yesterday a new phone # was found and we actually got to talk with a character. All the phone numbers in the game go somewhere. Right now my spare time (and some not so spare time) has been sucked up by this game. My bride to be thinks I've gone nuts. Check it out and join me in my insanity... muhahahaha!

Hell, I finally decided to get me lazy ass moving and fix the ftp prob i was having here so now i can upload my changes. I wanted a new look but really didn't want to make a whole new page, so i just changed the colors and title graphics and wolla...walaa, how ever u spell that, a new page. I updated a lot of things so look around, if u r new to the site it won't matter what it looked like before cuz u were never here. The Matrix Trilogy is finally complete. It ended how it had to end and could not end any other way. It was pretty good overall, i won't get into it much for those who haven't seen it yet. And if you r thinkin' "who gives a shit about that, bla bla bla" U can just leave right now...go on get the hell out of here. Ok for those of you who stuck around check out www.metacortechs.com and dig deeper and you will see how far down the rabbit hole goes.

Another day, another dollar. I am starting the make Max rich support fund. Send your money to me so I can be rich and you will get a personally signed thank you card when i make my first million. Haha, that would be nice, if everyone who reads this page would send me a dollar i would be rich. We'll not really cuz no one reads it, according to my counter i would have 420 dollars. Now if every person gave me a thousand dollars we would b somewhere. I'm not really banking on that so i guess I'll have to keep slaving away for the man. Planning 4 the wedding is going along good, we have the lighthouse booked for the wedding, now we r looking 4 a reception hall. Nothing much else going on, winter is almost back. We didn't have that bad of a summer, lots of rain, and then more rain, then after it stopped raining we had more rain. I finally got my iPAQ 5555 ordered. I've been waiting 4 a while, it has biometric security, 802.11b wireless, and i got a barcode scanner for it. Its for work but since I'm a geek its a toy 4 me. I'm still looking for the retinal scanner tho to play with...
Cool huh? The bar code is going to link back to a database for my computer inventory so when i go to a users PC I can scan the barcode and it will tell me everything about the PC. Now i just gotta figure out how to make that database :-)

Look at all these pop stars thinkin' that their in charge...hahaha that is the greatest. Lyrics to a new song by PM5K, it makes me laugh. It tiz almost the end of July already, only about 350 days till my wedding. Actually you should of seen on the main page exactly how many days till the wedding day. A nice little java script i found out there in internet land. We are planning away for the wedding, we found a lighthouse that is close to us (close for a lighthouse) I e-mailed them for information about it and hopefully we are going to have it there. So much to do and actually a lot of time to do it in. I probably won't be saying that for long, but 4 now we got plenty of time. My report is done that i worked on for the past week. It was a hell of a report to do for my first one, but i was never one to stick my toe in and test the water. Just jump right in and see if you can swim. Well actually that's a bad analogy cuz i do test the water when I'm swimming. Unless it's like 130 degrees outside it might b cold, and i hate cold. Back to the report, i used a great website to help me get what i needed from the report, Tek Tips dot com is a user forum that u can post questions and get answers from others who actually know what they r doing. I posted a formula question on there yesterday and got my report done today. Very nice site for ANY computer related questions that you might have.

I added a new flash intro at the main page of my site. It is made to look like an old school dos screen, i also took off the flash on the for Laurie section. It was just way too big. I'll try and put something up to show how it went but for now it isn't there any more. If you want to see it come to my place and i will show it to you...On the work front I'm actually doing some work. Well trying to, I'm taking a self-taught crash course in crystal reports programming. The setup is easy but getting the data that i want is a trip.
July 14, 2003
There is it, the news you all have been waiting for (all 2 of you). It is official, your lonely webmaster is engaged to be married. What brought this on? Wasn't i against marriage? Didn't i just put in a big write-up about how i was never gonna get married on this very news page?? Well since I'm the web master u r never gonna prove anything ;-). So why did i change my mind? I just realized how much she means to me and I have found someone that has made me feel more alive than ever and i want the whole world to know that i am with her. We have a lot of planning to do so it will be sometime next year. We are going to get married in or around a lighthouse cuz that is Laurie's favorite place. I don't know where or when or how but it will be done. The geek that i am, a computer played a part in my asking her. I will put up the flash movie i made for her and you can see for yourself. Be warned - it is 5.3 Meg so if you have a dialup or slow connection don't even try it unless you want to sit around for a couple hours and/or crash your PC... It is over in the "For Laurie" section. If you got here straight from a frames book mark here is what i have on the index page...
July 11, 2003
What is this "most important announcement ever". Well you will just have to wait till i announce it to find out. I'm hoping it will be Sunday night or before then. On the home front it's going good, i just got done with a mini vacation over the 4th weekend and we had great weather, and joyous festivities. This work week has only lasted 3 days but it has been the longest 3 days of my life. In other news my shop is doing as i expected, i have no sales. Not even from me! I just haven't got around to ordering any yet. I removed the Live Cam link cuz i don't have a live cam right now, and the last time i tried to get to their page it timed out so i don't even know if i will be able to use them again. And remember to check back often to see the news!
"Do you understand what you mean to me, You are my faith"

Another month gone by. I changed the main page of my frames, i had it going to this news but i changed it to make some money, eye's got the mad skillz, and i got to get my props.. Or some shit like that. I figured if people just saw my walking advertisement called a T-shirt and came to the site, i might as well tell them what i can do for them, instead of just going into babbling about the weather and my family. I think the only people that visit here are me...and well probably just me. If you are reading this e-mail me and tell me u visited. I have a clock in my store now, go buy one their cheap. I think this store is going to end up costing me more than it pulls in, i have to buy at least one of everything I make. Maybe if i charge around a 50k per shirt, i could b rich after only a couple. Now to find someone stupid enough to buy them for that much...err i mean, they will be collectibles one day and 50 grand investment now will be a good decision. ?? I have to find the picture for the start page that i restored, i have it here somewhere i just gotta remember where i put it.
June 30, 2003
Hell yea, we are back and better than ever!! We'll...were back, and were pretty much the same as before, but there is more so i guess that would be better! I finally got everything straightened out with my hosting and all is good. I got one design done for my store. It is just a logo 4 now, i might add more but right now I'm gonna start with that. With the free service u can only have one design per product, I'm gonna start out with the T-shirt I'm at least gonna sell 1, and i decided not to rip myself off. I added the shop link on the menu, on the left...called "shop". Go there now and buy one of my exclusive t-shirts for the low low price of 18.99 . It will open in a new window so as not to disturb your VP experience. The weather has been great the last couple weeks, it actually is warm, even at night!!! Ok enough about the weather...have you bought a T-shirt yet?? I'm waiting...go ahead, I'll b here when you get back.
June 24, 2003
Stay tuned for the Visual Prozac store...I've found this internet store that you can just submit your graphics to and they plaster it on just about anything...check it out at CafePress. I'll at least sell 1 to myself. Wonder how much i should charge myself, who would i bitch at if i didn't like it...hummm. I need ideas tho so it might b a couple weeks b4 i get anything out there. Another nice day here in Disneyland, i don't want to say it too loudly or it might start snowin' or something. Did anyone c Darkness Falls, does anyone else think that that lady ghost thing was trying to kill them because their acting sucked? The story was pretty good but the director must of had his head up his ass and the actors were probably all stoned at the time...even the little kid. It was really bad, it makes "Jill, Don't...open...that...door..." look like Shakespeare. (if u've ever played resident evil u will know what I'm referring to, if not, o well u suck)
June 23, 2003
Ya know mornings are probably a very peaceful time, the birds r chirping, the grass is glistening with the morning dew, everything is very quiet and new...ahhh. Too bad i fuckin hate mornings!! Mornings should die and we could just go straight to afternoon everyday. but, would i then hate afternoons? A lot of happenings going on (gone on) this month. The weddings have come and gone, one had perfect weather and the other was rainy and cold. Dan made it thru great, i didn't even screw anything up. Everything went great...it was all great...isn't that great! Here at visual prozac i had a slight problem with my hosting. They sent me a renewal notice for it and it said it would expire on 8/6/03, so i thought hell, i got a couple months b4 i have to renew. On the 8th, my page disappeared, i looked at that e-mail again and my hosting company is from Africa or some shit like that and their dates are day/month/year. So i was cancelled! I lost a 15 percent discount for early renewal but other than that i renewed and it was reinstated. HostColor is a great hosting company, Other than that renewal i have had no problems. When i e-mailed them about the date problem the actually e-mailed me back and apologized for the error. Most companies don't even respond to you and these guys are apologizing for the way their date was displayed. They rock!! If u r looking for website hosting i would highly recommend them. I got their midi pack for 45 bucks a year and that includes, 50 MB web space, 5 GB monthly transfer, 3 Subdomains, 15 POP3 mail accounts, POP3 + IMAP server, Sendmail SMTP server, Mail autoresponder, Mailing lists, Unlimited domain aliasing, Unlimited mail forward and much more.
We actually have had some nice days here last week and today is really nice. Maybe winter isn't here after all, probably fall, but not winter yet.
June 5, 2003
June...ahh yes the heat of the summer upon us...o wait...no heat here, just cold weather and rain. I have accepted that it won't get over 75 degrees this year and we should start getting ready for winter. June is wedding month here at Visual Prozac, no not 4 u'r favorite webmaster. My cousin and Laurie's brother are getting married. Not to each other, to actual women. Congratulations to Dan and Lisa and Chris and Cassie. Dan finally found someone who actually can stand him. Just kidding Dan, I have known him since we were in diapers and he was my best friend growing up and he is one hell of a guy. I wish him all the luck and happiness in the world. I'm in the wedding so I'll be all spiffed up in a tux. They are these upcoming weekends and so far the weather doesn't look good, maybe well get lucky and have some nice days for the children to spend their special days. I finished with my pond...well, enough to where it has water in it. I still have to get the stone border for the bottom but it has been running for a week or so. I even got some plants and fish in it. The foam is shrinkin in spots and pulling back from the frame so i will have to do some touch up but other than that it turned out pretty good. Below is some pictures of the finished product. The bottom front , where it doesn't look finished, is where the stone (fence) will be. It is going to go across and in front of the roses also. After that and the touchups, I'll post a final picture of my creation. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out, its just too bad we can't go outside to enjoy it. I changed this page just a tad, i took the 2002 news and moved it to it's own page. The link can be found at the bottom if you feel like going back and researching my inner thoughts and ramblings
Ahhh, users are a special bunch, there is always one that has no fuckin' clue and doesn't have a clue even how to get a clue. I think she just acts that stupid to piss me off...No one could be this dumb. Really, i don't think it is possible. It allows me to practice my patience, if i can walk her through how to fuckin' click on an icon i can do anything!!!! Any way here's my pond pic
May 30, 2003
Another month down another dollar spent. It was actually nice yesterday, even when i got home...no rain at all. I am almost finished with my pond. Last week i finished up the shell and i went to put the concrete over it. It didn't work, sorta on the flat parts but i had big sides that needed covered and the concrete would just fall off, it was a miserable failure. I went back to the drawing board looking for other ways to make the structure. I read about them using foam but i wasn't sure how or what kind. Then i found a page that had what kind to use. "Great Stuff" by Dow, its a spray can of foam for window moldings and and cracks u want to fill. (i wouldn't recommend trying to fill your crack tho). It came in a 12 oz can tho so i got 9 cans...no idea how much it was gonna take. The cover for my water fall took 3 cans and it ended up looking like a yellowish pile of dog shit. I thought i had another failure and was gonna have to start over. It takes 8 hours to cure so i let it go that night and went home yesterday to see how bad it looked. It was dry and still looking like a pile of shit, so i started carving it to give it some shape. The foam that was like superglue when wet (i still have some on my hands) now cut like styrofoam. I shaped it and took off all the round edges and it didn't look too bad. I got a can of grey primer and sprayed it, and it looked a little better. Then i took black paint and sprayed around the bottom to give it a darker texture. I then sprayed it with a product called "fleckstone" by plastikote. It comes in a regular spray can, but it shoots out specks of white, grey, black, paint stuff...actually I'm not sure how it does it, but after that it actually looked like a rock!!! I let that dry and then sprayed it with a top coat to waterproof it. I was happy with how it turned out so it was on to the shell of the pond. I had a corner already covered in concrete so i think i am going to let that the way it is. I started spraying the foam over my shell. It kinda looks like whipped cream when it shoots out of the can, but it sticky as hell. The warning on the can says that if the substance cures on your skin that it will only wear off. So after 9 more cans the shell was done...now looking like a really big pile of shit. I installed the lights around it and ran the wire into the power and turned it on. All the lights worked!!! All i have left to do it carve the foam, paint it, and fill 'er up. As long as it's nice I'll have it done tonight. I have to do some finishing work around the from but other than that it is ready to fill!!! The original pictures i took are gone. I had some pictures that i needed removed from the camera and i copied them over then tried to erase them but the disk was too full. I don't know what the hell i was thinkin, but i figured, I'll just format the disk and them pictures will b gone. As well as the pictures I didn't save!!!! I stopped the format but it was too late, they were gone. So no older pictures..i did however, take some last night (and promptly copied to my hard drive) so I'll put some of them up...Thats enough rambling 4 me.
May 20, 2003
Ya know what i just fuckin' realized, I've missed my 1 year anniversary of visualprozac, April 19th, 2002 was my 1st post of this log...I would of baked a cake or something...Wow a whole year on here. I would like to thank...ummm, me, i guess cuz I'm the only one that does anything. I guess i could thank hostcolor for the hosting and directnic for the name registration. Happy birthday VP, happy birthday VP, happy birthday visual prozac, happy birthday to you...
May 19, 2003
Another weekend behind us, i did more than i said i was going to, which was sit on my ass. Started out Friday by seeing the Matrix Reloaded again. I took Laurie, she wasn't as thrilled as me about the movie. At least she didn't fall asleep, almost, but she managed to stay awake 4 the whole thing. That movie, by the way, was the 2nd highest grossing opening weekend of all time. It made 93.3 Million for the weekend. It looks like the 150 Million they spent will be worth it. I can only imagine what the last one will bring in. The hype of this one will just fuel the next one and hopefully it will break the record for the weekend sales. I know their gonna get my $7.50. Saturday i got up early and went out before noon, eventually ended up at Lowes where i purchased some foliage for my landscaping project. I was gonna put it in that day but, of course, it was cold and rainy. I caught the race that night ...which sucked cuz Jr crashed. Sunday, i made up for my early rise Saturday, rolling out of bed around 2 (pm that is). It was still kinda cold but it was not raining, so I got my plants, planted. My landscaping project is starting to look pretty good, so if this pond turns out it might not b that bad. Today and tomorrow r supposed to b nice, so maybe I'll get some time to work on it. I'm adding a new section to my site "BT4SP". What could that stand 4? go there and find out.
May 16, 2003
Well, well, well...I thought an hour was long to wait for the movie, now i have to wait 6 FUCKIN' MONTHS to see the end. I knew there was another one coming out but it is one movie split into 2 parts. 6 MONTHS APART! I need to see it now...must find out what happens. Ok now that i got the bitchin' out of the way they are actually going to make a shitload more money this way. Both movies were shot at the same time with a reported cost of 300 million... It will probably make that this weekend. The movie was excellent, they did some reallly cool shit in this one that went way over the top of the bullet time that everyone from "charlies angles" to "scary movie" copied from the 1st one. The freeway scene is amazing and there is some dialogue in there that gives u a nice little mind fuck. "you've already made the choice" is one of those scenes. Here click this link CLICK ME. The choice whether you clicked that link was already made, the only question you have to ask yourself is why? hahaha. So i guess I'll have to wait the six months to see the final. In other movie news, when i went into the theater, they had the preview posters up and the one was "Freddy vs Jason". Now, I've seen almost all of both of their series, and they got pretty lame after Friday the 13th part 80, but this might be cool to see them 2 kill each other over and over...Freddy was always better cuz he had that comical edge to his slayings, Jason just killed...so who would win?? dunno since neither of them can die it's gonna be them killing each other 4 ever which will breed a whole new series of movies, "Freddy vs Jason" part 34 "this is the end...really, we mean it this time". I'll wait 4 the rental on that one tho. Back here at home it's a good time 4 watchin' movies, cuz if u haven't guessed already it's raining still. I plan on staying planted firmly on the couch for the weekend and doing as little as possible.
May 15, 2003
Its finally here, May 15th. I am leaving work to go see the 12:30 show. 12:30 show of what u ask, well the Matrix Reloaded, of course!! I've been waiting 4 this movie since the last one ended. It was the greatest movie of all time, it just kinda blows u'r mind if u think about it...what if you woke up one day and found your whole reality was a dream, that everything that existed was a computer generation. I can't believe it has been 4 years since the first one came out. I tell u now this movie will b the highest grossing movie of the year. Yea, I'm a geek, so fuckin' what?? It's 11am now, just 1 more hour b4 i leave...this hour is gonna go really slow...humm...maybe I'll leave now. Other than that no news on the homefront, I'm building a pond in front of my house. I never actually built a pond b4 so this is an experiment in landscaping, hopefully it doesn't go horribly wrong cuz that would suck. I spent 6 hours Sunday and about 3 hours yesterday and I'm not even half way done. If it turns out half decent I'm gonna put the pictures on here. Or if i cement myself to the frame, I'll put that picture on here for all to laugh at. Well, ok it's not even 11 yet, its 10:58...10:59...11:00, not really, still 10:59.....ok now its 11:00. which still sux, cuz it doesn't start till 12:30.
May 6, 2003
Hello there, May is upon us already...almost half of 2003 is gone. The best part is coming up, summer...maybe. It's a dark gray outside, rainy, cold...this past weekend was nice so that was a plus, i just wish it would stick around for more than a few days at a time. A great debt was lifted off of my shoulders yesterday...it was easier than i thought it would be. Now we start fresh and learn from the mistakes of our past. "And the angel ascended upon him and lifted the boulder on high, and it spoke with out words, go now, into the world, for the weight of the stone has been removed, and speak of this deed throughout the land as others may follow my word." I think I'm going to start writing all my shit like that...humm..i wonder in a couple thousand years if that civilization will find my website on a CD, and they will go to the museum and the museum will break out an old cd-neural interface and they will spread the word of Max as scripture. I guess I'll have to wait a couple thousand years. "As Max looked over his website he said onto thee, go now to thy gentleman's club and partake in the panoply, and thou will see Angels upon high, and thy bounty will be given to the Angels, and they will show you many sights...If thout' are willing to provide vast amounts of thy bounty, thou will witness unimaginable sights." "And thou shall not speak the phrase 'bling-bling' for this is evil at work and thou will surely parish in the depths of the abyss if it is muttered..."
April 17, 2003
Wake up people! Its Thursday, almost Easter. Time to reflect on that fictional character, and don't forget about the Easter bunny too. I like it, it gives me a paid day off of work. We get to choose Monday or Friday to have off, i chose Monday. When you go back to work on a Tuesday it doesn't seem as bad...i think the day Monday is actually cursed. Nothing much new here, it seems life gives me what i need, i don't seem to get ahead, but i never really fall behind either. Everything is almost perfect, all i need is that stocked Swiss bank account and i am set. I have Swiss pudding, so i guess that will do. Were back in the 40s here, yesterday it was really, really, really nice. Did i mention it was nice. Now today it's about 40 and cloudy...blah...will it never end? I've been hard at work doing nothing, it is actually harder than it looks...really :-) I've updated my rants section, other than that i haven't done any thing on here. I have some older Bryce images that i might put up someday, maybe Monday...On a TATU note, The gals sparked outrage when they announced they wanted young naked schoolgirls for their next album cover. Don't we all? Check out the article on the fark links or go directly to it Here
People tell me what to say, what to think and what to play...

Welcome back..or welcome to my webpage if its your first time. If you came here directly or skipped the Flash intro please go there now and tell me what you think. It's my first full flash intro production and i think it turned out pretty good. U will get the truth here. The truth about life, the truth about the Easter bunny, the truth about Santa, all those fictional characters that we follow so blindly into our future. The world is full of too many lies, too many wrongs, too much suffering. Help your fellow man out. Turn the other cheek when confronted with anger. Live your life to its fullest. Much love, Max.

Go here now and download the Matrix trailers...May 15th is the first of the 2 new Matrix movies out this year. While your out and about go here to watch the greatest music video of all time. The music isn't that great but the video makes up for it. Choose the audio/video link when u get there then choose your player type for the "all the things she said" video. The damn Maxim UK magazine gets them on the cover, with pics like this inside...
I need that mag!! If any one in the UK can send me the issue with them on let me know... Well, the weather is fucked up here at home, yesterday morning it was 29 and snowing like a mother, when i went home after work it was like 65 and sunny. Today it's in the 70's. Personally i hope it stays in the 70s but it will prob get cold again b4 we get into summer.

NEWS FLASH!!! America goes to war...well not really, were over there kicking a little countries ass...i would go into more detail but this is the news page. I might write something up in the rants section. Here on the homefront it finally go above 60 degrees last week. It has been 25 years since we got up to 60 degrees. Well ok, maybe not that long, but way too long 4 me. Today it's cold and rainy again so i think our summer is over already. My stitches are almost gone and I can almost swallow again! In other news my DVD burner died last week. Any CD I put in it seen it as a blank one, even when there wasn't any CD in there it showed a blank CD? So i returned it to New Egg and they had me a new one back within a week. If you need anything computer/electronic related i highly recommend them. Their prices are excellent, and now i can say their service is too. The new Linkin Park album is out and about already, scheduled for a March 25th release date, the CD can be found in of all places...the internet. Not them shitty P2P software...u really don't need to sink to using them, they really suck. Other than that nuthin' much going on here, have fun...

Ok, I go to this page today and the little image explodes. I know I'm not crazy(well i know i changed that image). I start looking around and it seems that my hosting company reverted back to a previous copy. My February 19th entry here was the last one showing. Something must of happened and they needed to restore from backup. It would have been nice of them to tell us. I'm re uploading everything now...

Hey, guess what, it's snowing again!! Imagine that!! -fukin' snow- I changed my flash icon up there in the top left. That explosion sound got really annoying each time i went there. Now it silently pulses with the energy that it is drawing from your life force. I told u i was gonna finish the pc101 section. If you havent' read thru it go there now. I'm still recovering from my operation, awaiting the day where i can drink my Mountain Dew freely without choking. The stitches r still there, so prob after they dissolve it should b better. A word of advise, don't fall asleep at your desk, it really freaks u out when the phone rings, for a moment u don't know where the hell u r. If you must, at least turn your ringer off so you won't get interrupted. :-)

Hey there, I'm back. Everything went well with my surgery, it was a 28 hour, 10 doctor procedure...well not really, it was more like 20 min and one doctor. (i think) Me and Laurie got to the Hospital at around 8:30 and actually got in right away, we went to a little room with a chair and a bed and the nurse told me to strip! No she didn't stick around while i changed, she gave me a super cool dress with a big opening in the back. We sat there for about an hour and a half till they said they were ready, then they took me, bed and all, to another room where they started the IV. Then i sat there for another half hour. It was a staging area where 3 other people were, all waiting to be carted off to their destination. They then wheeled me out of there and into the O.R. It was a nice big room where i had to change beds to the operating table. They gave me a couple of blankets that were really, really warm...then the lady explained they were starting the procedure, and i was like NOOO I'm not asleep yet!!! Actually she told me they were starting the anesthesia, it was my first time under anesthesia, all i remember is her saying breathe in this tube and wondering if this was really gonna put me out, and how long would it take, and what if it doe....that was it, i was gone. I woke up in recovery having lost the past hour or so. I got to stay in the hospital and have an iv and everything! The pain medicine made me all warm and fuzzy. The last time was in the hospital was like 25 years ago! It was cool, i need one of those buzzers at home so i never have to get out of bed. I could of even pissed in a plastic jar thing and never have to get up, but i wasn't that adventurous. I wanted to get a sponge bath but i guess they don't give them for what i had. :-) I'm back 2 work now, i didn't do anything with this page the past week, mainly slept, played xbox, and tried to eat. That was about it. I'll finish the PC101 section, i promise.

Hello out there, i haven't updated the news page in a while so i though i would let ya all know what is happening over here. As u have already seen i have changed my "main" page to the PC101 section. I got a new PC as u can see and i wanted to show the people out there in computer land just what goes into a PC. I have yet to finish it (the page that is), i should be able to do some next week. Tomorrow i get to go and have surgery!!! yippie! I'll be off work for about a week so hopefully I'll get off my ass and update this page!

Hi ya, u should have noticed the image up in the top left has changed a bit. I created a flash movie that u can click on to explode it...i made another one that just fades in and out. U might see that one on here later if i get bored with this one. Go ahead, click it...i dare u :-) I'm just messing around with a software called CoffeeCup Firestarter. Go here to download a copy to try it out. It is fairly simple to use and a lot easier than using flash by itself for shit like this. I think its a 30 day eval for the download.
I had the quickest fast food stop ever, today...McDonalds and Burger King were getting old so i opted for Wendy's, I gave them my order and it came to like $3.52, i drive around and hand her 4 bucks and she gives me the change while i am giving it to her, by the time i get to the other window the food bag and drink is ready she hands me them and I'm gone. It couldn't have been more than 20-30 seconds from the order to delivery! This, sadly, was the most exciting experience of my day so far.
Techies can read on, everyone else will probably want to skip down to Jan 2nd...I had fun at work on Monday, our other location has 2 buildings linked by a fiber cable, so they call me on Friday and tell me the one building lost connectivity, so i walk em thru some basic steps to see why but they are totally dead. I get there on Monday and try replacing the hubs w/no luck. The fiber cable has 3 pair on it so i work my way down the pairs and the third one works! I walk outside and look at the line because we did have some heavy snow last week...but it looks alright from building to building. I go to the attic of the main building to check the cable run up there and find the fiber cable half chewed thru by some form of rodent! It got thru the casing and into the fiber cable taking out 4 of the fiber lines before it decided it was full. It also dined on the 25 pair phone cable to the other building, taking out an extension in the process... now this isn't your ordinary household plugs, this is some industrial strength shit it went thru. Looking around it seems the furry little fucker had feasted on every type of cable up there, electrical, coax, speaker...Is especially liked the insulation around the heater hoses. Ahh, the joys of nature.

Hello all, hope your New Year was a pleasant one. Not too bad on this end, we almost got washed away last night tho. It started raining in the morning and didn't let up.

I'm so glad there are weekends and even happier it only 2 days away. Next week will drag tho...the first full week in a while. I gotta make it thru this week b4 i worry about next tho. Busy...busy...busy, i would continue but don't have time. I'll complain more later :-)
