In the past two days I've gotten into internet message board fights with:
* A group of women who believe that girls need to be protected from getting up on yachts and shaking their asses (i.e., hip hop videos.) They say the harm it does to the girl and all of womankind trumps her natural right to shake her ass and make choices for herself....

Today I acted like a bit of a grifter.
A couple of years ago, I set up a research panel signup page on my business website. You know, hand over your e-mail address and get invitations to surveys. The problem was that I never got a balanced group of people signing up. Useless.
Every day without fail, 50 middle-aged females dutifully enter their e-mail addresses....

Evil genius.
Did I ever tell you the story of my first business?
I was in 5th grade. My best friend and I would use all of our lunch money every morning to buy candy from 7-11. At school, we'd double the price and sell it to kids in class. It wasn't long before we were making $15 or $20 a day. We could have easily made...

Castlevania II?!? What a horrible night to have a curse!
I had a light work day today, so I invented some variations on the Blue Hawaiian while working.
Electric Blue Hawaiian
Fill with ice
1oz Tequila
1/2oz Blue Curacao
Fill with equal parts pineapple juice and sweet and sour
Garnish with cherries
Mike says, "Tequila makes me thirsty. Good though."
Lankakitten says, "Tasty, with a kick."
Green Hawaiian
Fill with ice
1oz Rum
1oz Midori...

I'm not vegan yet, but I'm slowly getting there, apparently.
Last night was the best episode of Lost so far this season.

That was one badass hour of television, my friend. At the end I needed to jump around a little bit to get all the tension out.

I would implicitly trust a robot with a cash register, but maybe that's just me.

WHY AREN'T EITHER OF YOU AVAILABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE LOST STUFF I JUST FOUND?!?!?!?!?!
Plus, I finished those changes. There were money and banking hassles or I would have been able to do them sooner. I'm talking about work on a porn site. To the boss.

You know what's coming next, right? There's going to be a massive attack. You should be careful.

awesome, I wish I could go.
You know what pisses me off? Politics.
It's important, sure -- but so stale.
Hey look, Bush said something stupid! Again.
Hey look, some retired general thinks Rumsfeld should resign. Again.
Hey look, someone's complaining about airport security. Again.
Hey look, conservatives are outbreeding liberals. Again.
Hey look, congress raised the debt cap. Again.
Hey look, it's another article about how Bush knew weapons of...

Yes, I know I'm updating a whole lot lately.
Man, programming languages sort of piss me off. I feel intuitively that there's a better way to make programs than creating big linear branching structures.
Back in the day, I wrote a program that was nearly 4,000 lines long in a programming language called Perl. Perl was okay. It was popular with hackers and web gurus....

Hey, you know what would be great for your next journal? One that doesn't make me feel like an idiot when I read it. 
Today, I went to the doctor for a physical. He didn't notice (or mention) the alcohol on my breath. Rad. Maybe there wasn't any, I really am kind of a lightweight.
Anyway, because my dad died from heart disease, I'm at risk too. I took special heart tests today that you normally only see in movies. Like for instance, I took a resting ECG where...

I was thinking black satin jackets. But Jarrod and Rice are both completely against that. They're going to sleeveless denim jacket with large back patch route.
And there could be a bowling league, except that I suck ass at bowling, so I could just bring people their beers or something.

So LankaKitten and I spent much of the day fucking around with a new website project we're working on called Fill With Ice.com. It's a alcoholic recipe database thing. The name is a punny-sort of relation to how most recipes start with the instruction, "Fill Glass with Ice."

Most people I know don't like their job or their job doesn't pay enough. The traditional answer to this is, "Why don't you start your own business?" Well, there's lots of reasons why this isn't practical, but the main are that 1) it's expensive, 2) it's scary, and 3) it's exhausting.

So, I was getting the hot Russain amputee site URL for your woman, and I finally remembered to check out AllOfMP3.com. I can get the entire new Arctic Monkeys for something a little over a dollar. WooHoo!
I know, I sometimes allow myself to get drawn into these arguments. It really is tedious.
