I can just see way too many uses for this. Too bad not everybody has a TabletPC like me. :) Drawing online is so much easier when I can just put my pen to the screen and draw. You should all get one.
Funny Happy Birthday Song
I thought it was funny anyway. Annoying? Yeah, maybe a little, but isn't that the point of this fine day?
I tell ya, what an April first. I woke up to like five inches of snow and am now ending the day without a spec of white to be seen. This state SUCKS!! Or have I mentioned that? I thought I might have, but let me reiterate... I really hate this stupid climate! Give me nice normal NO SNOW IN SPRING any day of the week. I'm not saying that I'd take 120 degree summers just to get out of winter, but it feels like I've been cold for six months and I just want to get warm again. I'm tired of winter...
Right now I'm sitting in sunny Mesa, Arizona. Last week I was holding my head in my hands wondering where I was going to find another job and today I'm in meetings with executives and multi-millionaires talking about my plans for the customer service call center that I'll be managing. :)
It is funny how things work sometimes... I don't want to say that you are blessed for breaking the rules or that the "plan" that God has for us involves carefully placed mistakes or anything, the fact remains that we would all still be waiting to be born if Eve hadn't eaten the forbidden fruit. So I can't help but think that some of our mistakes are just destined to happen for a better purpose. At the time the mistake happens it is very difficult to see the forest through the trees, but when you are able to look back on it with different eyes, it is amazing how blessed you can feel after something terrible like losing your job in this economy can make you feel. I really hope the next lesson that I'm meant to learn doesn't involve going to jail or something after what a roller coaster this has been. I tell ya... March has been one of the hardest months of my entire life. And that is even considering that not all that much has really hit the fan. It has just been big stuff that hit and that always makes a big difference.
Still... I'm glad that I have the support that I have. I know none of the people who support me ever read this blog, but thank you to them anyway. I can't afford to go much crazier than I already am, so the words of comfort have helped. Its nice to know that while you can feel so alone in one respect, you can still feel like you are surrounded in another. Such a strange month and yet I know it is one that I'll never ever forget. After all, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I for one don't ever want to repeat the last 30 days. No siree bob.
Check out my boy and his awesome putting skills.
Is that skill or what?! I'm so proud... I can't wait till this spring when I can start getting him some golf lessons. He has a real knack for it. You should see some of the drives he has hit in the back yard. I'll never find some of those balls he has hit.
Don't ask me why, but this game is so much fun for me. Basically you just set the crop cirles as far apart from each other that you can while giving yourself room to line the path with tanks, flame throwers, Jeeps, and land mines. Then when the aliens leave the ship and trek through your maze of death, they are all destroyed before they reach the barn. I've been playing this for about an hour now and I'm on wave 35. Every tenth wave you get a large ship with a centipede thing under it, so be ready for that. Have fun!!

Ever wonder how the current credit problem works? This is awsome and explains it perfectly!

Ok, this is only a rant right now because I've been forced to listen to people talking the last few days at work and I'm about to go nuts. I've got to vent or I'm going to explode!!!
There is no X in ‘especially’!!! It isn’t pronounced ‘expecially’ or anything close to that. It’s a freakin’ S you morons!! NO X IN SIGHT!!
Here’s another one. There is no T in the word ‘across’! It isn’t ‘acrossted’ or ‘acrosst’ you idiots!! And yes, I can call you idiots because that is what you are if you are going to add ridiculous letters like that into words. I know we love to recycle here in the good ole US of A, but this is taking things to extremes. You can’t just steal letters from other words and throw them in somewhere else.
I suppose that extra T that people put in the word ‘across’ must come from the missing T that everybody seems to remove from the word ‘mountain’ around here. I can’t even spell how it is pronounced. Just take the T out and try to say the word. Moun
