A friend of mine happened upon this comic and gave it to me. Intriguing.

The talk of the town?

Just when you feel like life is out to get you and all the odds are against you... life stops by and seems to apologize and give you a pat on the back.

Problems sleeping?

Do what I do...

Go to Wal-Mart at 2:00 in the morning. Why?

Why not?

Icey bliss

Well, due to an ice storm that passed through central Kentucky this morning, the show for today has been cancelled. The only thing I had planned to do today, and I can't do it. I'm only mildly dissappointed, more-so that I won't be heading into Lexington today than anything. Maybe the weather will lighten up a bit and I can get out for a little while this afternoon/evening. I don't mind staying at home, but I don't like to HAVE to stay at home. I like the freedom. But for now, I'll enjoy my time, and maybe continue rearranging my room a bit.

For anyone that's out and about, I hope they are able to make it to their destinations safely. I wouldn't want to lose anyone that's special to me.

20/20 Hind-sight

I did it. Not really though. I mustered the courage, my left nut dropped, and I called... and I got the voicemail. Never was I so dissappointed in my life. As an after thought, I should've gone ahead and asked via voice message, but nope... I didn't. On the bright side, it should only get easier.... right?

Moment of truth...

I think my left nut has formed, or I'm just tired of putting myself (and I'm sure all my friends to a degree) through hell. When I talk to her tomorrow, I'm going to lay it all out... see where I can go from here. Either way it turns out, I will do it. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm very nervous and may have a difficult time sleeping tonight. I know this kind of thing is old hat to many people (probably most people), but it's not to me.

I can't wait for tomorrow... and I'm dreading it.

Update

Lord what have I done...

There's no fallout from the phone call last night. Either it was all really muddled or she's ignoring it. Either way, it makes me feel a little better.

Lord what have I done...

Let me explain my last entry. My roommate's girlfriend (Katie) says the ability to ask someone of the opposite sex out lies totally in the left testicle. So for a couple days we've been joking (only partially, though) that I need to grow a left nut.

Fast forward to tonight.

My roommates and I generally have some random friends over on Wednesday nights for what we call "Card Night". In case you're way too simple-minded, card night is where we get together and (wait for it...) play cards and just get together and have a good time. Well, one of my roommates decides to do some drinking tonight, and since I haven't done so in a while, I figured what the heck.

Fast forward.

So around 10:00 (10:11pm to be exact) I decide to do my first ever drunk dial (not really drunk, but feeling good [two shots of Montezuma Tequila, and a Doc Otis later]). The person I decide to call was a certain someone that I'm interested in (No, it's not Patrick's mom)... Besides she had asked me to call her later if I got the chance, and as soon as her voice-mail picked up, I realized what time it was [note: she goes to bed fairly early, and turns her phone off when she goes to bed]. I was leaving a message and held the phone up to have everyone say, "HI [insert name here]" and my friend Rose said, "go out with Scott!". I ended the phone message and we all had a pretty big laugh, I was pretty impressed that she did it, and wasn't upset at all that she did. Thus, that is how Rose became my left nut.

Fast forward.

Talking with Rose a little bit later, she gave me a couple of tips about if or when she brings it up or asks about it. So that was good... but she basically said, "don't read into anything too much, and still you need to just ask her out"

Fast forward.

Now that everyone has gone and I've had a bit of quiet time to myself... I'm a little nervous. This big giant boulder that's just been sitting here and getting bigger has been getting increasingly more difficult to get moving... but I think that Rose put some TNT under it, and now it's got a little bit of momentum and all I need to do is give it that shove and see where it goes from there. It basically is really making me step up to the plate and get ready to throw myself in front of the bullet (too many analogies?). Well, one thing is, I'll know one way or the other, and if it's bad news, then I can get to feeling sorry for myself and get that part over. If it's the way I'd like it to go, then I can finally get on with enjoying my time with her even more.

Any advice? Comments? Snide remarks?

I'm really nervous.

Rose (Coleman) Paugh is my left nut.

My kingdom for a .... WHAT?!

I hate a particular 5% of who I am, How I am, and what I will and will not do.

As my roommate and his girlfriend put it... I need a left testicle.

The Big O

Cast in the name of God

Ye Not Guilty



One of my favorite anime titles right now is The Big O. I just bought it on DVD a couple days ago. Stupid Cartoon Network's [adult swim] got me hooked on it. The first season is really great... there's a lot of weirdness that goes on in the storyline and most of it is interconnected to make you want to try to figure out what's going on in the whole scheme of things.

Quick breakdown:
Takes place in a city called "Paradigm City". The city of amnesia. Approximately 40 years ago something happened to make everyone lose their memories. No one knows what happened. Bits and pieces surface every once in a while to give them glimpses of their past. Fortunately people remembered how to use electricity and machines and that sort.

ANYway, check it out, it's fun.

Pat on the back, and a scratch on the balls...

I'm not one to fish for compliments, and that's not what I'm going for here, either. I'm very proud of my lighting design for Other People's Money, and since behind-the-scenes kind of people don't get a lot of recognition, I'm going to brag on myself a little bit by posting a couple pictures from the show.

Waste of time

Well, what a waste of time Eastern Kentucky University has been today. I've had three classes and none of them have gone anywhere NEAR the full time (which normally, I would love, but since I live relatively close to campus, I've been going home after class). I had an 8:00am LAB that met for 15-20 minutes. Awesome since it's scheduled for two hours. So went home to wait for my 11:00 class. It only went 10 minutes. What a crock. I just got out of my 12:30 class at 1:05 (supposed to go to 1:45). This time I'm killing some time in a computer lab instead of making the 10 minute trek back home. I only pray that my last class of the day doesn't make me feel like I've completely wasted my time. I'll let you know.

Cock-blocked.

Learning life's lessons... the hard way.

I love it. A bigger dork than me. Check it out here.

By the way... I wouldn't be caught dead driving it.

Birthday Card

Just think,
you're here not by chance, but by God's choosing.
His had formed you
and made you
the person you are.
He compares you to no one else -
you are one of a kind.
You lack nothing that
His grace can't give you.
He has allowed you to be here
at this time in history to fulfill
His special purpose for this generation.


How thankful I am
that He has allowed me to be here
at the same time you are!

I have to laugh at myself sometimes because on the way home from the show tonight, I caught wiff of fresh pole-cat. That's skunk. Now the first thing that comes to my mind isn't, "Gee, what an aweful smell". No, the first thing that pops into my head is that a friend of mine told me that they actually liked the smell of skunks. I'll always think of you, friend, when I smell skunk while travelling down the road. God love ya'.

I really hate the first day of classes. My stomach works itself up into knots, and I feel semi nauseous most of the day. Today's not starting out much different.

Cast in the name of God.... Ye Not Guilty

Feeling a bit "blah" today. I'm going to be missing out on a certain someone's Birthday festivities tonight because of the show I'm involved in. It really bothers me. I really get into birthdays, probably to make up for usually having really crappy ones myself. I have some really good presents for her, too. I'd hate to have to give them to her later than her Birthday. I really hope she likes them.

This was a good time. This is what I like to remember. Not right now.

I grabbed this from a friend's blog.

"Enjoy life. The world could end tomorrow."

Well due to a SNAFU in the scheme of things. I won't be starting classes until Wednesday. "Why?" you ask. Because I have a hold on my records that won't allow me to register for classes, and the person I need to contact about it has been in meetings all day today, I would've started tomorrow, but that won't happen because I'm not registered for classes. If I didn't want to be done with school with something to show for it so badly, I'd just stop and hit the road with all the skills I'm going to learn about my profession at EKU. I have no more major classes, all GEN ED. Health Class, Literature Classes, Biology... CRAP CRAP CRAP! I'm almost out of school, and I don't have any debt (which is a very big accomplishment in this day and age) and I want to get to the living my life part. It's all very frustrating.

Stupid 20/20 hindsight.

Worry burdens my troubled mind.

Alas, Sunday morning is my last day to sleep in since classes start Monday. Man, I'm am SO dreading classes. I'm dreading not knowing ANYbody in any of my classes even more.

This is going to suck.

Whew, that was close!

Narrowly avoided a completely fun-free weekend, thanks to a friend of mine in Lexington. Grin!

Alright... we know how smart we are, but HOW are we smart? Take this test to see!

The Multiple Intelligences Test
Scott, you're smartest when it comes to visual/spatial intelligence

Others may take their environments for granted but not you. Because of your visual/spatial intelligence you really see the world around you. This strength often helps you better appreciate the beauty and detail in everyday things. From shapes in nature to the structure of a fine automobile, a countless variety of things hold your interest.

Having this particular kind of heightened awareness can allow you to form accurate mental images of existing places and objects. In extreme cases, one might call this strength a photographic memory. Being visually/spatially intelligent also means that you likely have a vivid imagination that can be put to use in a variety of creative or professional endeavors.

Lighting Design Project III

Well, that didn't take nearly as long as I had figured, and kind of had hoped. Everything looks good though... at least without actors on stage. Tomorrow night will be the real test.

But for now... I'm bored.

Weekend Outlook - Update

Apparently no one knows how to answer a phone, so I'm at home... bored.

Lighting Design Project II

(to see what was up previously, visit Tuesday, December 02, 2003)

I'm almost finished with the design aspect of the show. I hung, focused, and gelled the final lighting instruments I need for Studio Player's production of Other People's Money. Tomorrow at noon, the director and I, along with the stage manager and a stray actor or two, hash out how the show will flow lighting-wise. I'm really excited about seeing what my first full design project is going to look like in the context of the show with people on stage emoting and such. It's just not the same just staring at the set with lights turned on. Now I want to see what people look like underneath the lime light (which there is none of actually in this show).

Check it out

New Visual Stimulation on the sidebar. Enjoy.

Bored and Lonely.

Now accepting entries for something to do.

mXc

MXC, also known as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, has GOT to be one of the most hilarious shows on TV. It's a great show for a bunch of people to sit around, watch, and laugh at. The SPIKE network has done an incredible job with their programming geared for men.

And thank you for running three straight hours of it during card night at the apartment!

Cards, friends, junk food, and Japanese people humiliating themselves on TV for who knows what or why, is the best way to spend at least one night a week!

This is an "advertisement" that I heard on mXc last night. Cracked my s**t up!

Bloggin' for the sake of Bloggin'

Well, to all TWO people who I know regulary visit my blog (Thanks Patrick and Stephanie) this one's for you!

Yeah, sorry, there's still very little to be told that I haven't already.

Starting Jan 15, 2003, Studio Players is producing a show called OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. I have designed the lights for the show, and I'm very excited about seeing it on it's feet. I'd also love to see a lot of people in the audience that I know to see my first full-fledged lighting design. Spread the word. Other People's Money at Studio Player's in Lexington. January 15 thru February 1.

Sorry folks, I've got nothing.

Car Trouble - Trouble No More

A few things:

1. For the first time in my life, car repairs have actually cost LESS than I was quoted.
2. I feel like a giant in my little Chevy Cavalier compared to the nice roomy interior of the 2004 Honda Accord that I was renting.
3. It's good to have my car back.
4. No more having to explain why I don't want to drive somewhere.

Car Trouble - The Light at the End of the Tunnel

I just called about my car, and they said they'd have it together in about forty-five minutes!!! Then they'd test it, and (hopefully) it'll be MINE AGAIN!!!!! I can't wait... stay tuned, true believers!

The past two days have been filled with lighting, chili, friends, and goofy grins. It's been great, but there's been a slight emptyness. Something that wasn't there that usually is. But I've plodded on, and continued to be happy even in the face of this void.

The big goofy grin saga continues. I had a lot of fun yesterday. I just enjoy being around her. Right now, those are the only words I can put to it.

Car Trouble - the "Pros"

Okay. So finally on Friday I went and rented a car from Enterprise. I reserved my car online and my roommate took me in to pick it up... pretty easy. When I got there I saw an old friend... and he happens to be the manager of the place. I haven't seen him in a while, and I don't think he ever knew my last name or anything, so when the reservation came in, he didn't recognize my name. When I got there he immediately recognized me and my roommate (although he still sees him on a more consistant basis). He gave me a hard time and stuff like friends do, and then he cut me a really sweet deal. Instead of driving around in a Geo or another Cavalier, he set me up with a too sweet 2004 Honda Accord... pretty loaded, too. I tell you, as of right now, driving hasn't been much sweeter. I even took a drive on I-75 one night just to drive it. It's been a great time, and I'm not looking forward to Monday anymore (which is when I get my car back, supposedly).

Y'know, actually, if my car is working the way it should when I get it back... I'll love it! (and for $1500.00, it better!)

Question

Situation: You invite someone (in this case, a girl) to go do something.... say, a movie. Then she asks if she can bring a friend along.

What should you do? Advice?

Great First Impressions

Hypothetical Conversation

Guy: Hey, let's go out tonight!

Girl: Okay. What do you want to do.

Guy: I was thinking maybe a movie.

Girl: Sounds great!

Guy: Yeah, so... can you pick me up, I don't have car.

[How romantic]
[Portions of this conversation have been made up]

Car Trouble - the "Cons"

Okay, for those of you who don't know (or actually care), my car's transmission has been on the fritz for about a month now. I was finally able to take it in to get it worked on this past Tuesday, and they said it was possible it would be ready the next afternoon. Great! I call Wednesday around noon, and they said the transmission was being put back together, then they'd take it out to test it, so please call back around 2:30 - 3:00.

So I do.

When I do, they tell me that one of the parts they ot in was bad (just a part that should've been a reject off the line) and my car wouldn't be ready until Friday... today. So I call around 11:30am to ask about my car, and theytell me the truck with the part on it never arrived, so it wouldn't be ready until Monday.

Recap: Been without a care since Tuesday, having to bum rides from people everywhere I go.

I'm having a tough time deciding if the New Year is starting off well or not.

I really enjoyed where I started it, and who I started it with. So for that much, it's going great. Let's just say, questions and doubts.

Shot to the Junk

Okay, I may not have much, if any, experience with dating and girls... but I do know that THIS is not the way to go about winning the heart of a woman.

Delayed

Several circumstances negated my plans for tonight. But tomorrow's outlook is full of goofy grins.

Holiday Catch-up

Okay, so my holidays (so far) have been great! I had a blast visiting with my family (even more-so than usual), I got to talk to an awesome person almost everyday on the phone while I was gone. I learned that Bailey's Irish Cream goes really well with Eggnog. Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter chips are STILL my favorite. It truly doesn't matter what or how many gifts you receive. I missed getting to experience the Christmas Eve service at my church since I was away visiting my family. I got to see two really good friends (who are about to become one great friend - so to speak... they're getting married in April) and found out that they are moving to the area in August or September!

My Christmas List:

A cool new doo, to impress the ladies
Seeing my all-time favorite Christian band's farewell tour
A cool "lego"-type set of Optimus Prime
An awesome see-thru deck of cards
Another deck of awesome cards that are long and thin!
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy game for XBOX
A set of Legos
264 leather CD case
Small wooden figure of my Grandfather's business in the town where my mom grew up
A little black waste bag for my car
A nice long sleeve shirt (heather blue)
a phantom of the opera ornament

and
MONEY!

There may be a couple things I'm forgetting, but that's pretty much it, I think. It was great.... and my holiday season isn't over yet! New Years Eve is just a day away! I'm SO looking forward to that!

Gematriculator!

It's amazing how much one post will change the "holiness" of your blog. Before the last post, I was somewhere around 51% EVIL... that's right, talking about infatuation (not to be confused with flatulation) dropped me down to 49% GOOD... now, right before this post I'm up to 85% GOOD, again. Well see how this post affects it even more!

My head feels like it's swimming in big dumb goofy grinning thoughts.

Yeah, I just talked to her.

I may be wrong, but I think I just asked her out on a date. The word date never came into play, I just asked her to go see a movie with me. Is it a date? How does this all work? Am I doing it right?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!!!????

I could really get used to this dumb smile.

Big, big, BIG goofy grin.

What does it mean when you get a big goofy grin on your face every time you think about a particular person?

I've got a big goofy grin on my face, right now.

My last post before I head out onto the road for the holidays is this one. I saw this on a friend's blog and I guess I just want to drive that point home to anyone that reads both of us.

"Invest in things that matter and enjoy every second of every day."

Holiday Wishes

Season's Greetings!

I'll be stepping away from my blog for a few days (the crowd applauds loudly) as I'm heading off for the holidays to do the family thing. This is one of my favorite times of the year... I have a really big family, and it keeps expanding. I love the feeling of such togetherness during this time. It is amazing how close you can feel to people that you only see once or twice a year compared to people you may see once a week or more. (If you're reading this, I'm more than likely not talking about you, so rest your fears if there were any)

But what this post really is all about is my wishes to all of you to have a very merry, happy, and safe holiday! May God bless you through your encounters and keep you safe on your travels, and may you all keep in mind what Christmas is really about. It's about a celebration of a life that was brought into this world that would one day save us all.

God bless you all, and have a Merry Christmas!

Why am I so incredibly happy when I feel like there is nothing really to be incredibly happy about? I don't get it...

...but I like it!

Finding My Niche

For some reason, I've been a little off-kilter for a couple weeks (more-so than usual). I feel like I'm working my way back to "me". That makes me happy. So I'm making myself happy. No one else has done it. At least no one on earth. I can't take complete credit. Sometimes I need to listen to my heart more than my mind. I need to open up, and not be afraid to get hurt. There's no way to actually shield myself completely from that, anyway, so why try? At least with friends, the healing can happen quicker than if I keep myself closed off.

Also, the last Well service that I'll be able to attend happened tonight, and afterwards, a Christmas Party that we had prepared. I think it went really well. To me, it was part funeral, part celebration, but total dedication and thanksgiving. That service is what got me involved at Crossroads, those people are the ones who pulled me into their lives, and those lives that gave me a home when and if there was no other. I know that I'm going to have to let it go... and like dealing with a lost loved one... I'll mourn and then I'll move on.

I had a couple people come up to me tonight to express their excitement that I was a part of that place, and that my skills and energy were looked forward to being integrated into the regular weekend services and the church as a whole.

This was all originally thanks to two people: long-time friends - Ben Stewart and Stephanie. Without their encouragement, I wouldn't have come as far as I have, as fast as I have. Thank you.

Now that just has to give you the feeling that something is going right for you.

Feel Good Phone Calls

... No, I'm not talking about phone sex lines. I'm talking about those random phone calls that you get from friends just out-of-the-blue. Those are some of the best conversations I've ever had. When a friend just decides that they want to talk to you and possibly for no other reason than to say "HI" and "I was thinking about you". Now, I don't usually get those kinds of calls from friends. They always have a purpose behind them, not malicious or anything, but usually it's to solidify plans or ask a question that I may know the answer to.

Today, I had TWO such phone calls... quite a record, I believe. The first from a great friend of mine, and then the second a couple hours later from a new friend.

Just makes me feel all warm inside... kind of like a big gulp of a hot vanilla chai from Live Wire (a coffee place down the street from where I live). I think I'll go get one and keep up this really neat feeling.

Small Life to Big Screen - Take 7

A good friend and one of the ministers at my church, Steve Edens, would be played by Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty.

Tonight... better than I thought. Had a nice relaxing evening at home. Did a little bit of work. Cleaned up a little... and now I'm off to bed. Good night, world, see you tomorrow!

Half Time

I fully endorse and support this half-time event.

The worst part about hanging out with good friends in a bar, is after you step out the door, but before you arrive home. About 5 minutes after you get into your car, you realize you smell like shit. That is, if shit smelled like cigarette smoke.

If it did, I'd never want to take another dump for the rest of my life.

Comments abound!

[holding up a chair, lion-tamer style] Whoa, back, back I say! There's too many of you... one at a time!

Got F#@ked?

Well, it's official... we're f#@ked.

Upon reading a friend's blog, I stumbled upon this website. I found myself very captivated and feeling very good generally speaking afterwards. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to check out this website.

Love is...

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)

Neurosurgeon Heckled From Observation Deck
HOUSTON—Dr. Martin Kenneth Rinjipur, a neurosurgeon at Methodist Hospital, was heckled from the observation deck Monday after removing a cancerous tumor from a patient's occipital lobe. "You call that closing an incision?" the unidentified man shouted. "I could make a cleaner suture with 15 centimeters of frayed chromic gut and a pair of barbecue tongs. Go back to Johns Hopkins." Rinjipur did his best to act like he had not heard the comments.

Drunken Episode A Repeat
PARMA, OH—Sunday's episode involving drunken house-party guest Philip Welz was a repeat, guests reported. "I couldn't bear to watch it again," Robert Joffe said. "Sure, some parts, like when Phil pees in front of everyone, or when he pretends to have sex with the pets, are sort of entertaining the second time around, but on the whole, it was pretty tough to sit through twice." Joffe left the party early in order to avoid the episode's final moments, when Welz pukes on himself and passes out.

Baby Boring
TAMARAC, FL—Michelle, the three-week-old daughter of area residents Sue and Allen McKay, is "unbelievably boring," sources close to the couple said Monday. "Sue's always raving about how amazing Michelle is," friend Elena Jacobs said. "But then you meet her, and she barely moves. Who knows? Maybe Michelle is an incredibly charming and engaging little mastermind during the 20 minutes each day that she's awake and not crying." Jacobs added that Michelle must have been born with her mother's eyes and her father's total lack of personality.

The Christmas Spirit

Thanks to my roommate and friend, Dustin, I am beginning to get in the Christmas Spirit. I had been off to a slow start, but tonight, we put up a Christmas Tree and decorated our apartment while listening to holiday music. It was really a lot of fun. I took a few pictures of our tree, and I'll try to get those up here in a day or two.

There's only one thing that would make this holiday season better right now. (it's not the obvious "gee, I don't have a girlfriend" answer)

IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!!!

"We could go outside and build a snowman...."
"Walkin' in a winter wonderland..."
"Rock the casba, rock the ..." (wait, that one doesn't really go.)

Vote!!

Small Life to Big Screen - Casting Project

It has been said that I look similar to three people... I'm putting it up to you to vote (via the comment section) who would be better to play me.

1. Ron Howard (younger - more like Richie Cunningham age)
2. Seth Green (as cast by my good friend, Stephanie)
3. Clay Aiken (also, if my movie became a musical, he could play me then, too)

Thought of the Moment

Distance:
It can be a good thing or a bad thing. Por ejemplo: Distance between my face and someone's fist, the more the merrier. Distance between friends, bad.

Went bowling last night for the first time in a bout a year. Broke a hundred both games I bowled. Also bowled one of the better games I've played, scored a 124. Not the best I've done, but definitely not the worst. It was good. Went to eat at Denny's afterwards... oh the memories of Denny's.

My town got rid of their Denny's and put in a Liquor Mart. What crap. I miss the Moons over Myhammy, the Grand Slam, American Slam, and French Slam breakfasts. Their cheese eggs were some of the best.

Ahhh... late night at Denny's. [sigh] The good old days.

Want FREE MOVIE tickets? Sure you do!

I have recently made a bad decision. I won't let it happen again. 'Nuff said.

Pick-up lines that work?

Woman: So when do I get to know you?

Man: What do you mean? You already know me.

Woman: No, I mean in the biblical sense.

The Poopie List

I was introduced to this list in college and thought it was the funniest thing I've ever read. Hours of entertainment. I hope you find it at least mildly entertaining.

Ghost Poopie
The kind where you feel the Poopie come out, but there's no poopie in the toilet.

Clean Poopie
The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper.

Wet Poopie
The kind where you wipe your butt fifty times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear so you don't runie them with a stain.

Second Wave Poopie
The kind that happens when you're done poopie-ing and you've pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize you have to poopie some more.

Turtle Poopie
The kind of poopie that pops out a little and goes back in a few times before it finallly comes out

Pop-a-Vein-in-your-Forehead-Poopie
The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.

Lincoln Log Poopie
The kind of Poopie that is so huge you're afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the plunger.

Gas-sy Poopie
The kind where it's so noisy, everyone within earshot is giggling!

Drinker Poopie
The kind of Poopie you have the morning after a long night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet.

Corn Poopie

Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-Poop Poopie

Spinal Tap Poopie
That's the kind when it hurts so badly coming out, you swear it was leaving you sideways.

Taking Aim at Cellphone Snapshots

Dec 12, 9:39 am ET

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary moved Thursday to stop users of new camera mobile phones from taking and sending snapshots of people without their permission.
Hungary's data protection ombudsman ruled that mobile users transmitting pictures of people who are unaware of being photographed could be liable to prosecution -- as could the mobile service providers.

Ombudsman Attila Peterfalvi said he started an investigation after one of Hungary's three mobile providers ran an advertisement saying: "If you see a good-looking girl or guy on the street, don't hesitate to share the aesthetic experience with your friends via MMS."

Mobile phones, kitted out with small cameras used in multimedia messaging (MMS), are selling fast in Hungary, where mobile penetration is a high 75.2 percent.

"...taking and transmitting recordings without legal or personal accord is unlawful data handling and can lead to civil, or in some cases penal, responsibility," Peterfalvi said.

Regulators around the world are trying to get to grips with the spread of camera phones and their invasion of privacy.

The phones, with their tiny, discreet lens and ready access to the Internet, have prompted fears that voyeurs could take advantage of this new technology.

South Korea's telecommunications minister recently decreed that all camera phones must emit a beep of at least 65 decibels when taking a photo, even when the phone was in silent mode.

Well, that was hardly worth it. Just a little bit of patience and it's better. So now I'm back to the old Comment tool.

Temporary Changes

Sorry folks, it seems that CommentThis.com, my previous comment host is having technical difficulties. For the meantime, I've switched to BlogSpeak. As soon as I can tell that CommentThis is back up, I'll switch back, I really like them better than this one... but BlogSpeak works. Thanks.

Penis Pocket

Okay, I was walking through Wal-Mart tonight when I happened upon a very disturbing sight. I'm sure all of you are familiar with how boxers (the underwear, not the hard-hittinglook and function... with the verticle slit in the front that serves as a fly where there may or may not be a button to keep it together. In Wal-Mart there was this freak of nature that disturbed me greatly, I can't even imagine wearing it. It was a boxer short with a pocket on the front. Right in the middle. It looked like a pocket that goes on the back of pants normally, but it was dead front and center. Of course you can't keep change in this pocket, because there's a hole in it! It's a penis pocket. Reach in looking for your car keys... no no... there's something else in there!

It's just WRONG, man!

Man Gets More Than Phone Cut Off After Mix-Up

MANILA (Reuters) - An irate Filipino housewife sliced off her husband's penis while he slept after she discovered text messages from another woman on his mobile phone.
A local radio station reported the woman rushed her husband to hospital in Manila Thursday when large amounts of blood flowed from his wound, but that she forgot to bring the severed piece of flesh.

Doctors were able to restore his manhood after she raced home to collect the missing piece. The man, a welder, told the radio station he had forgiven his wife.

Callers to the station, reacting to the news, offered helpful hints to wayward husbands such as never sleeping on their backs and always keeping mobile phones tucked under the pillow.

Minor Changes to the Soul

I made some small adjustments to the blog tonight. Check them out, and let me know what you think.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Snide Remarks?

NO SMOKING

Okay, so there's one thing to talk about. The Smoking Ban in public places in Lexington went through and if my sources are correct, it goes into effect tomorrow! YAY! No more coming home smelling like cancer sticks!

News of Note

Zero. Nope. Nothing to tell today. Sorry. Today's been a pretty boring day. Woke up. Had lunch. Tried to blog, and this is all I came up with. Maybe tomorrow.

One Giant Leap for Man...

... One Giant Kick in the Nuts for the Not-so-good-looking.

Sad days in the life of mediocre looking males everywhere. The Average Joe didn't get picked, the hot n hunky man was the choice. Good looks won out over personality.

The True Testament of Friendship #6

A friend senses something is wrong, and somehow knows just the right thing to say.

Ahhh. Nice relaxing evening at home. Haven't had one of those in a while. I've been home, but it's not been relaxing, usually. My roommate got a new couch, it's nice. Vegged out on that most of the evening and watched TV. It was great.

I'm glad I have something to do tomorrow, though.

Small Life to Big Screen - Take 6

Okay, I'm done with the numbering it was giving me a headache.

My other roommate and longtime friend Dustin McClain would be played by Breckin Meyer. And his girlfriend, Katie would be played by Chyler Leigh.

Rose Colem... wait, no, she's married now, to Josh Paugh. Wow, what a slip up! Anyway, Rose would be played by Jodi Foster.

A good friend of mine that lives WAY too many miles away, Bethany Hayes, would be played by Reese Whitherspoon. Just imagine blonder and curlier hair. My friend and her fiancee Mark Smith, would be played by Paul Gross.

Love.

What a powerful four-letter word.
