So, I haven't written in awhile. This is largely because I just don't have much to say anymore, at least nothing that has any relevance to what I've written on this thing in years past..I've given up bitching about our fascist president, I've gotten over complaining about most things, I've learned to deal with my depression, and I'm no longer alone. ...Writing much of anything on here anymore

You lucky bastards. Always the sucker for a great deal, I've gotten a new contract with my host because they have a great price... So anyway, even though I'm not much in the mood for writing (I have a PT job, an internship, writing my thesis, and taking a class right now), the site will remain up for now.

As some of my regular readers might know, I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan...this week mostly known as the hometown (and soon to be resting place) of the 38th President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford. Some may argue that Ford made some wrong decisions while president (authorizing Indonesian oppression in East Timor, the biggest) but I can hardly hold that against him. Nobody in a position

SO I haven't updated in awhile, in large part because my hosting package is about to run out (and I won't have funds to renew until January) and I figured "what's the point?" In any case, I guess the plug won't be pulled until January 31, so I got plenty of time, and no excuses. I do that too much -- say "I can't finish this anyway, so why even start?" It's a bad mentality to have sometimes,

In what kind of sick world can this happen? My world is turned upside down... ...at least until the Dems kick the GOP out of Congress today. If you haven't done so already, VOTE before it's to late.

According to US News, the Bush WhiteHouse is so confident that the Republicans will keep control of Congress -- a prospect tahat most are predicting is unlikely -- that they haven't developed a contingency plan for how to deal with the Dems should they (likely) win control...Of course, as I'm reading this I can't help but think about other adventures that ther cockiness has prevented them from

It seems that our invasion and occupation of Iraq, removal of a dictator, and establishment of democracy is just too much for a million or so Iraqis to take. It seems that that many have gone to the Iraqi passport office, getting their necessary documents to flee to the Eden that is Syria (and Jordan too, to be fair). Of course, this is probably just liberal media propoganda, just like the head

Read about how one blogger was able to (relatively easily) find out the name of Rep. Mark Foley's accuser...a case in point in how easily all can be found out about any of us if we aren't careful (and even if we are).

As has been the news lately, former Republican Congressman Mark Foley is a very kinky man that likes the young guys that work as pages on the floor of Congress. ABC News is reporting that this even includes "[interrupting] a vote on the floor of the House in 2003 to engage in Internet sex". Nice, real nice. Especially considering he was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited

Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I was out a computer for awhile there...and the girlfriend situation leaves me contented enough to not feel the need to bitch.

There are enough of us to warrant a change of plans.

As most of us have probably heard, Warren Buffett, one of the most wealthy men in the world (number two I believe), has decided to donate most of his huge fortune to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Undoubtedly, the $37 billion can do a lot of good, but not everyone's so happy. Chief among them are some pro-lifers, especially one Rev. Thomas Euteneuer who is quoted by CNN as saying that

I was just outside, letting my dad's dogs run around and fight each other during night three of my week-long siege as the rest of te family sweats it out in Cancun. Standing out there in the murky dusk I noticed a light in the sky, moving slightly faster than a jet plane and without the usual low rumble and contrail. I recognized that it was the International Space Station (and verified it with

So recently I have started taking my weight-problem a little more seriously, especially in what I eat. I came across this lo-cal cookbook and figured I'd share it with the world...so many delicious things and all under 500 calories. I haven't made anything yet, but my mouth is watering just looking at a few of the recipes.

I created the following list of things to do before I die a few years ago when I was bogged down in a deep depression and haven't done much with it since. Anyway, lately I've started thinking about it and done a few things and figured I'd update (though a couple of these I no longer have much desire to do, I'm gonna keep them... 100 Goals for My Life 1.

As you may or may not know, I make a little money on the side doing some internet marketing...in doing this, I get to advertise some stuff that might interest my friends and readers (and get me some commission too -- particularly so I can get myself to Nicaragua).  Here are a few I wanted to share with anyone interested.  Most of them start with free trials where you get free games, movies, or

So, I have rare tickets to two, count them TWO, of Radiohead's short small-venue tour come June. I don't need to go to two Radiohead concerts, especially since one of the shows is in California and I live in Michigan (and have tickets to one of the Chicago shows). Because of this, I have two general admission tickets for sale to the June 27 show at Embarcadero Marina Park South in beautiful San

Get a bike...I just practically rebuilt my bicyle (new trans, pedals, rear wheel, front brakes) and it cost me $130 -- or about two tanks of gas. Think about it people. Just a little something I had to suggest because I'm sick of listening to people bitching. Or I found this, which should save you 5% (that's like .15 a gallon at $3): Discover Platinum Gas Card

Last night I told my new girlfriend that I loved her. I had never said that before (in that way), at least when I meant it (the only other two times being in Middle and High School...and only because I thought I was supposed to or something). It was somewhat liberating and it only made me feel more in love. I'm really excited about this thing...I think it has a good chance of going places.

In a desperate way for a BJ? Go to Hooters. The Smoking Gun has posted a lawsuit that suggests that a Hooters corporate trainer told employees that "if you need the extra money, go ahead and suck a dick or fuck a customer if the money is right." So there you go boys...talk about a full service establishment. To make matters more interesting, the frontpage of the Hooters website has a link to

DeLay is out, and he's blaming it on the politics of personal destruction. Does he not realize that he is one of the granddaddies of that school of politics?

I'm sure Mother Theresa would be anything but flattered.
