The great beyond

by owen on Mon, 28th Jun 2004 at 9:24 am

This weekend, I didn't have my usual drag meet, or boring teaching class, which I unfortunately was blackmailed into doing. Instead I ventured across the sea to the "Forsaken Fortress" to rescue my sister who was kidnapped by a giant bird the previous weekend. It was a perilous journey across what seemed to be an endless sea filled with talking fish to the edge of a map given to me by my talking boat who is my personal translator and "guide to the seas". But at long last I reached the fortress only to realise that I have to leave again to retrieve an item called the "Master Sword".
The sword which I absolutely needed to in order to defeat the "Legendary Evil" which was indirectly in control of the bird who has captured my sister. After many trails, sea sickness and tribulations I finally rescue my sister but was unable to banish the "Legendary Evil" because apparently my "Master Sword" which was given to me by my "Great Ancestors" has lost it's stuff and can no longer do anything useful. So I'll have to fix that, but that will have to wait until next weekend.

site update: yes I've messed with stylesheet once again. The site is now 400 pixels wide.

Pimpers Paradise

One of the most difficult things I've discovered with this whole website development process is actually explaining what my website is about with sounding like a TOTAL GEEK. Building the web site itself is easy and surprisingly cheap if you know the right people. Now in my case, I have website. Got it up and running in record time. Changing it a few of times as facilitate the size of my head and silly little standards that popup. But basically it's up and running, now how do I describe it(the website) to people? especially old people and the cute Asian girls who don't speeck english. i.e. if I find any.

Blame It On The Drink

Every now and then I get inspired to let lose and spit a few rhymes; Soon I'll have a full album and sell platinum. Music is where the money is;

I just saw the car on the website and I said to myself "WOW". Then pictured me rolling down the street on three 20 inch rims, riding on the side, laid back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind. Cause I got so much money. I'm so fly, so high and troublesome I decided to roll out in my gator boots at mid-day (cause I ain't got no job).
Head down to atl for some southern hospitality, women see me, ask we what's we fantasy, Nice & Lovely. All the women chasing cash. Why do good girl like bad guys? Cause they don't know who we be. Under me guiness it a different ting. I hate it when there are too many women and not enough hos, too many rookies and not enough pros. Anyting go down - it wasn't me, all the ladies round the bend gimme de light. aIright, take five. multiply. cause we on another level, giving you originality. Haters and Fools caan get no gal. Look in to my eyes tell me what you see. say what you wanna say it's the way I am, whatever you say I am, if I wasn't then why would I say I am. We jamming.

Bacardi on the rocks please. I'm not going to teach you people how to write computer programs - I'm sorry - leave me alone.

When Worlds Collide

It's been a weird couple a months for the people on earth. Besides the whole Iraq "War on Terrorism" issue. Probably I'm the only one who has noticed but alot of weird once in a lifetime crap has been happening recently. 5 planets line up, Mars reaches the closest it's ever been in like 30 yrs, Venus floats in front of sun which has last happened 100 years ago.
What's up? What's next. Is this like the bestest astrological period ever? Should I get a telescope? Is the sun going to go super-gaint bad ass and blow the solar system to shit? Or have I been reading too many CNN Space Science Update newsletters? The day after tommorow.
I'm a crazy information nut. I know when I've had enough and when I'm simply just getting weird and if I hear another person refer to me as being weird I'm going to do explode. I don't even read the horoscopes covering my ears as it ever-so-often happened to come on the radio in my presence. No, I don't want to know if today is going to be a good day or the sun going to go super-gaint bad ass and blow the solar system to shit. Now stocks that's something I'd want to know about but apparently nobody I know has any foreign stocks. If I missed any astro-events feel free to add a comment.
update: members can now change the website appearance by editing the CSS style sheet ala waferbaby.

Float On

by owen on Mon, 07th Jun 2004 at 5:56 pm

The project team when to a resort near the north coast for the weekend. Completely disrupting my free/do nothing weekend which I absolutely need to stay alive. So I lost the jet ski key big deal, why doesn't it float - I don't know maybe they haven't invented such floating key chain thingys as yet.
Every now and then I have to deal with customer service people. Often times they are cute women and often times not. But the vixen from hell usually pray on nice polite guys like my self. Not that I hate her at all, no. I know she has had a bad day, everyday and that soon she'll die of stupidity but please can I get some help over here? What am I doing wrong? Sometime I wish I could just download everything off the internet - the internet is my friend.
Side project: so I'm doing this local stock market challenge thing and they give everybody 25,000 US of fake money to buy real stocks on the NASDAQ. At the ned of august the person with the most money will be the winner. Luckily you can see who's at the top of the list and I'm down by 2000 US dollars. Any body know any good stock I can buy? I need ticker codes like APPL.
Members: I'm still adding the stuff the page the style editing thing (ala waferbaby) will be up when I wake up.
