HOLY SHIT I'M IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, Ryan in Michigan has opened my mind to an excellent idea.  He would like to see an interview with Mike Wilson.  I decided to take this 1 step further.  Everyone email me a question or 2 that you'd like to ask Mr. Wilson.  From here, I will have him answer the best of these questions and incorporate that into the next Wilson story.  and Mike - you can't not like this idea, it won't be any more humiliating than you wish it to be. Send in your questions with the subject "Wilson Questions".  Deadline will be 3p.m. CST on Friday, November 1st. 

Boo!  Did I scare you?  Thought so.  I'm a scary person.   Anyways, happy halloween - and even better - happy payday to me! woo hoo! 

Went to a halloween party last night, it was an ok time but as usual, when you hang out with the clan of old chicago employees only one thing can happen - drama. we're not even getting into this conversation though.  man - i seem to be doing this a lot lately, but when you stay sober and theres a huge group of drunk people, the drunk people just look stupid.  ok i know i know, i'm a hypocrite as i've been "that drunk guy" about 700 times in my lilfe, but man - if i truely look that stupid count me out.  that's the one thing iowa will ALWAYS have over colorado - people handle themselves fine while drinking (for the mostpart) and have a good time.  I think here in Denver the sole reason people get drunk is so they can justify getting all pissed off for the evening.  sheesh.  anyways - i got 5 or 6 pictures snapped, they'll be up when i get them back, along with the stone sour concert pix and the bachelor party pix.   hopefully they turn out ok, we'll see.

Not much new for you today, Matthew Renze's idea of fleetmack.com t-shirts is currently being investigated.  I actually like his template.  Here's a prototype.  I'd need to pick out a quote of some sort.  And perhaps it'd be gray in color (as opposed to the black in the prototype)  just to match the color of the website. If you'd be interested in paying, say, $12 for one of these - let me know.  That'd be enough to cover the cost, shipping, and give me a buck or 2 for my troubles.  Just let me know so I can pursue this if need be. 

Hmm, I'll put up a new picture in a minute for pic of the day - wilson pic is same as yesterday, uhm - i haven't done a funny link in awhile.  i'll find something funny and slap it at the top of today's news within the hour.  have a great day!

October 30, 2002

Hello there.  Not much new, just stayed home, cooked and read last night (Walden Two), I've read this book like 20 times but I'm reading it again, not sure if it's for lack of things to do or because I enjoy it - the last time I read it was right at a year ago and it seems that each time I read this book I get some insight on life, so thats what I'm doing.  I'm going to swing by Barnes and Nobel tonight and pick up about 7 books of a random assortment.  I'm hoping they don't join my pile of 8 books I've started and never finished, but I don't think they will.

I know I'm confusing lately, don't worry about me.

Hmmm, new Wilson picture is up today, I haven't looked at what it will be yet so I don't know.  I can put MP3's back up on Friday - I'm WAY over my quota this month - we've had over a quarter of a million different visitors to fleetmack.com this month, so this communtiy is growing.  I need to find a way for this site to make me some cash, any ideas?   haha, ok - back to work, kinda busy right now.    Tell these cold temperatures and snow to go away for me, thanks!

October 29, 2002

Now I've been to a lot of concerts in my life - Metallica, Soundgarden, Snoop Dogg, Tool, Slipknot, U2, Tom Petty - the list goes on and on.   Last night's Stone Sour concert took the cake.  Rikelle and I were in attendance, but chilled off to the side since she's 1 month pregnant.  I've never in my life (besides Slipknot) seen that much energy in a band brought through in this way.  Don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest Slipknot fan there is, but (and this isn't bad, just for my comparison of why this show ruled) there is so much negative energy in the air at a slipknot concert.  They start off by telling you to "show them your fucking fingers" and you flip the band off with both hands then you just wail all night.   But with Stone Sour - man, I've never seen a performer that happy while playing before.  Even though all the songs are about lies, deceit, trust, etc. - you couldn't wipe the smile off Corey's face all night.  From the crowd's chant of "Corey - Corey - Corey"  to him having to stop the song "Bother" becuase he was smiling and laughing so hard because everybody in the building was singing the harmonized parts of his solo effort, I don't know what made the guy happier.  I mean honestly - how often do you see a guy just screaming lyrics as the biggest mosh pit in the world is going off, but while he screams - you can't wipe the smile off his face?  Man, that guy has the life, releasing his aggression while getting paid and being happy.  That show was unreal.  Pictures will be posted when I get them developed.

Speaking of pictures, we have 5 bachelor party pictures up, more to come when my film is developed and when Mr. Wilson sends me some more pix.

And lastly - Steph, I checked out your Mom's site this morning and just wanted to tell you I'm truely proud of your decision.  You know what you want in life and it's great to see you going after it.  You never cease to amaze me and continue to impress me day by day.  Congrats on your decision! :o) 

Oh wait, really lastly - this article cracked me up, but you probably won't think it's funny.   And I quote, "A scary slipknot mask"

October 28, 2002

Pictures are starting to arrive for the bachelor party, slowly but surely

Just so you all know, it was difficult for me to decide which quote of the day to use.  I REALLY wanted to use "SWIM!" as said by Tyler Lucht - but few would understand that, I thought all could enjoy a good 'ol Wilson quote.  If anyone remembmers other funny stuff said from this weekend, send it to me.

I have so much I can write about.  I'm not even going to talk about the world series, the picture says 1000 words.  Nice work boys!

Hey Timmy - how 'bout them Seahawks?  Ok, so your man broke the record, who cares, not I! I just care that Shaun Alexander scored 2 TD's and the Seahawks stomped over the cowboys to put rain on Emmitt's day.  Seahawks have now won 2 games this year - giddy up!

And now - yes, the bachelor party.  Pictures cannot be posted yet as I have none.  The ones I took will not be developed until later this week as I need to bring my camera with me to the Stone Sour concert tonight.  Hopefully Wilson, Nutz, or somebody else can hook me up with pix and I'll post them as soon as I get them - they're some doozies!  And do I really need to tell you that they have replenished the Wilson picture supply quite nicely?  Oh man, these pictures rule.  It was kinda strange to run into a girl from high school who was working as one of the strippers - that dirty little skank :o) hehe.  But yeah - the weekend ruled, it was good to see all of you, and hopefully we'll see you all in 2 weeks.  Man, I had no idea we could go to that many bars in just one night.  Too many stories to tell, too many early-age symptoms of carpal tunnel to have the urge to type them.  If i see you we can exchange stories, otherwise, just use your imagination.  I can't believe that none of us got really shitty drunk, that's kinda cool.  Are we maturing?   Only thing that could have made it a better weekend was if ISU had won that game, man we had every opportunity in the world, too.

Hmmm, yes - Stone Sour concenrt is tonight - I'm really excited for it, man they are so good it's almost sickening.  I'll throw up a new Wilson picture (yes, it's fully equipped with a blue shirt) and picture of the day shortly - MP3's still discontinued until Friday.  Actually may be discontinuing the pictures until then too, but we'll see.  No hyperlinks today,   I'm lazy.

5 more days until snowboarding season begins for Bryan L. Mack.  That was all I dreamed about last night, man what's up with my dreams?  Last night I showed up at Keystone with my snowboard (in my dream) but for some reason I didn't have my bindings on the board.  I ended up paying $300 for new bindings only to discover that I forgot my boots as well, so i paid $150 for new boots, but then I remembered that I had forgotten my ski pass as well.  Man - hopefully I remember all this stuff this weekend!  Also, hopefully I don't break my leg or something before the wedding, man that would suck.  Ok, enough for now.  I'm going to revamp the feedback page today as well, it'll be sweet - be sure to check it out.  I feel like I have a fan club anymore, it rules :o) have a good one.

October 25, 2002

Mornin!  That's all I have today is the Mornin' - then I fly to minneapolis for the bachelor party.   Fern - our email is down here at work so I cannot reply (my sent mail from hotmail and fleetmack mail gets sent through my work's server) - but I'll do my best to call you on Sunday!  Got a call from my old roomie Kelly last night at 3a.m. - kinda reminded me of drunk phone calls! woo hoo!  she was at a bar in Los Angelss and apparently everyone there was slipknot freaks - she put some guy on the phone with me and we shot our favorite slipknot lines back and forth for awhile, i was so tired but immediately replied to his favorite quote of
"Your impossible ego fuck is like a
Megalomaniacal tab on my tonque"
I immediately replied with ONE of my favorites - but it's not that great - I replied with "I can stare into 1000 eyes, but every smile hides a bold-faced lie".

Yup, so that was my fun at 3a.m. last night.  Exchanging slipknot lyrics over the phone with a guy i've never met in Los Angeles.  Am I that weird?   Don't answer that.

I don't want to talk about this much, but I thought I'd let you know that my life has taken a very big upswing in the last 24 hours, don't really know why or how, it just has.  I hope this trend continues.  Steph and I had what I consider a fantastic talk last night - and no we're not together again and that's not the point of it, but I think she's still going to help me become a better person.

Did that paragraph freak you out enough?  Thought so - if it did - screw you.  Live your own damn life.   As for the website today, there is a new pic of the day - a sunset shot from my balcony.  There is a new Wilson Pic.   As I've told you 20 times, no MP3's until November 1st.   And today's stats for you to hear about - this month alone I have had 969 MP3's downloaded and 52,000 pictures viewed - and no, that doesn't count maddox's stuff - only fleetmack.com stuff.   There have been about 240,000 unique visitors here - so yes, word of my site is out and in full force.

Sorry for sounding like a pansy today.  Can't wait to see you all in MPLS, take 'er easy and hope my plane don't crash for me. 

October 24, 2002

Damn Giants, they need to lose, I'd like to catapult Barry Bonds into the bay so he lands on the Taco Bell target and he sinks becuase his damn body-armor weighs him down too much to float.  Man he's an idiot.  This'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone - Barry would be gone and that damn taco bell sign would be gone. 

I have no idea if anyone's read my save the trees rant yet becuase my webstats are still down, bummer :o/  Same Wilson picture as yesterday and same wilson story as last July is up - somebody needs to get on that if we want new wilson stories, I'm not one to write about stuff.  Oh wait.......

So yeah, I leave for Minneapolis tomorrow afternoon, that's going to be sweet.  Hey Timmy - this sunday - EMMITT SMITH IS GOING NOWHERE PAST THE MIGHTY SEAHAWK DEFENSE.  I hope Chad Brown or Isiah Kacyvenski hurts him so bad that he can never break the record just so you can't cheer for him.  By the way - I suck at fantasy football.

I ran 4 miles last night - I think I'm actually getting better at running, amazing.  I've been doing a steeper incline (3%) than I normally do, running farther than I normall do, and faster than I normally do.  Now I'm not very fast, but last night (this is fast to me)  I did 4 miles at about 8:40/mile at a 3% incline.   And that was right after I about had my lazy ass stay up on the couch and watch some more SNL.  Man, the only thing that keeps my life running at all these days is the fact that both E! and Comedy Central run SNL episodes all night so I stay up until 2 watching them since I've turned into somewhat of a narcoleptic.  Sleep is over-rated.

Downloads will be active again on November 1st, until then - keep your shorts on....unless you're a cute single female.  goodbye.

October 23, 2002

Now I understand why the blacks felt like shit when they were slaves back in the day.  But how does acting the same way reverse that?  It's shit like this that will make me a racist person.   The world needs to cut this shit out now and stop the separate-but-equal shit that WAS declared unconstitutional well over a century ago.  Man that shit pisses me off.

New rant is up - you'll find it on the Rants Page - and no, it's not about racism and how much it sucks, it's about saving the trees - and no, i'm no hippy, i'm a genius.

Well, it's official.  Sometime in early college I developed a recurring-dream - sort of.  It has been gone for awhile and I'm not sure when it really started again - I think maybe 2 or 3 months ago, but it's back in full force - and by full force - i mean i have this dream about 3 times a week.  But it's not really the same - just the idea is the same.  It's always a different place, with different people, and different times - but it's always that i rob a bank with a few friends (real friends - they just change each time - last night it was Hornick and Hav and I) then we get on the run from the cops for awhile - a few weeks maybe.  Anyways, I get away from them and the cops stop searching for me (i'm by myself at this point - not with Hornick and Hav anymore) but I kill myself becuase of guilt.  Ain't taht some shit?   All dream interpreters are welcome to interpret that beast for me!

So I have 2 cavaties filled yesterday - eek. I hate getting injected with novicane - man that sucks being all numb. i got injected at like 4:30 and i tried to drink a glass of milk at like 8 and it was still numb and i spilled it all over my damn shirt, it was pretty funny but it sucked.  I ran 3.5 last night - tonight is 4.0 and tomorrow over lunch I'm going to run up the mountain to the "M".  if you have no clue what I mean - look at this pic, that is the M. - hell, we'll just make that the picture of the day.

Who thought I could do it?  For I have exceeded my bandwidth for the month.  Please take it easy on downloads until November 1st becuase it costs me $1 per Gig of data transferred from now until then.

    Your site fleetmack.com has exceeded its
bandwidth quota in the period beginning on 2002-10-01.

Anyways - GO ANGELS!!! there is nothing sweeter than a bunch of fucking giant's fans twirling chickens around becuase they think we're  (i shouldn't use we as i'm not an angels fan - but i had salmon, eckstein, and erstad on my fantasy team so i'm cheering for them) chicken to pitch to barry bonds - then we (again - sorry for the use of 'we')  we strike out that stupid dangling-earring armor-wearing never-see-a-smile-on-his-face fuckehead in 3 pitches. BOOM! sit down barry. 

Got some feedbacks from cops and New Zealand yesterday, whoa! Uhm - my ALL TIME FAVORITE WILSON PICTURE IS UP!!! go to the wilson page and look.  mr. wilson has even gotten personally gotten involved on the wilson page and is sending me pictures - now that's teamwork! New pic of the day will be up shortly, and if you haven't done it yet, check out the slipknot page please.

CONGRATS TO MIKE WENDL ON GETTING ENGAGED!!!!!

Well - I have something VERY cool for the bachelor party that I devised last night - I cannot post it though because it's a surprise.  It's going to rule, I am some form of Superior Being for thinking this one up - ok, so I stole the idea, but I used it!

Ran 3.5 miles last night, i'm back to about normal as running that was pretty easy, i was dehydrated so i stopped, i'm a pansy i know.  yup.  sooo- today we have added Buck to the friends page.   It appears that I have few female friends.  Hmmmm.  The SLIPKNOT PAGE will be equipped with some small wav's - i was bored at home last night so built up some wav's of clips of my favorite lyrics.  nobody will probably download them - but at least visit the page so i know my hard work pays off!

Hmmm, new pic of the day - same old wilson pic --- I NEED A NEW WILSON STORY - SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! new rant in the works and some other ideas have popped into this strange lump on my neck I like to call my head.  Ok, i'm busy. goodbye.

October 21, 2002

Hola todos, had a very strange and busy weekend, but it was cool I guess.   That ISU game sucked pretty bad though, but hey - I put it this way - if we lose to Texas and win the rest of the year, that puts us at 10-3 with losses to FSU, OU, and Texas - who really cares that we lost to 3 of the best teams in the country?  Not I!!   So yes, yes yes yes. Uh-Huh.  Yup.

I have a slipknot page that'll be up shortly, it's not much, but read it.  If it doesn't make you a fan, it'll at least get you to know me better.  The Stone Sour show is just a week from today.  I get 2 cavaties filled tomorrow and I leave Friday for Minneapolis for the bachelor party!  Can't fucking wait to get up there for that thing! WOO HOO!!! Oh yeah, Mr. Dykstra will be the addition to the friends page today - if you wish to be added, you know what to do.

Uhm...new Wilson Picture is up.  Props to Hart for sending me some more!  The MP3's have been disabled until November 1st due to bandwidth constraints.  Hosting Maddox's page is using up my 10GB quite quickly - normally I'd just tell him I cannot host his site any longer, but he is getting me such a barrage of hits that I need to keep that thing posted to keep traffic to my site up - so as a result, no MP3's for a week or so, sorry :o(

A few other things are up, look around.

October 18, 2002

This guy is just an idiot. Period.  Inspiration for my racism rant coming shortly....

Went to the dentist yesterday - i need to get 2 fillings next week :o(    i don't understand - i haven't had a cavity since i was 10 - over the course of the last 2 years, i eat healthy - VERY RARELY eat red meat - if i do it's hamburger, don't drink pop and take nothing with caffeine - no pop, no coffee, no chocolate (except i have a red bull when i drive back to iowa when i get to about kearney).  so right when i give this up, i get cavitites?  what gives?!  whatever.

WHOOPS!! that explains why so many people are downloading the song "Still" and not 1 person downloaded "bother"  - for the last month i've had the link posted wrong! sorry!!! corey taylor bother is back up on the MP3 page as of now.

Damn right - ski season started yesterday at Loveland.  Too bad I don't board there.

Ok, so it's friday.  Man - hits are off the walls this week and MP3 (and other movies and shit) downloads are in high abundance, here's the strong hitters with the number of downloads they've received (and if you're a lawyer - i'm lying...i only got 3 downloads all month so far):
Nirvana - You Know You're Right - 57,  Rupert Holmes - Escape - 52, Geto Boys - Still - 48, Third Eye Blind - How's It Gonna Be - 39, Gotte The Movie - 39, Styx - Mr. Roboto - 36, Kenny Chesney - The Good Stuff - 35, Seneca Wallace's Run - 34, Me Playing the Guitar - 33.   Other Mentionables (but there were things between here)    Wilson Cleaning His Sock Drawer Movie - 27, Deftones - 7 Words - 27, Murderdolls - 197666 - 22 downloads.   So thats that: and ladies and gentlemen - the #1 wilson story of the week was "The Styrafoam Cooler". 

So it's friday - woo hoo. Going to watch the cyclones beat up on the Sooners this weekend - anyone else up for it?  thought so.  So that's my weekend plans.   Probably will take it easy this weekend. Next weekend is mule's bachelor party, weekend after that is weekend opening for snowboarding, mule's wedding is the next weekend, followed by the CU/ISU game up in boulder, then thanksgiving - and no, i'm not going back to Iowa for thanksgiving - i'd miss out on some good snowboarding here - plus i'm going back for that wedding and really dont' want to make that drive 2wice in 2 weeks, funk dat.

Uhm, same wilson pic is up - new  pic of the day is up, and several new feedbacks are up.  are you my friend? then mail me your info - real friends only please, no random entires will be accepted (this means you Jill from Tallahassee - i've never met you so you don't get featured on the friends page, sorry)

Yup - thanks for making my site worldwide popular as of late! we're getting hits, and several of them - from all around the world.

October 17, 2002

hehehehehe, i hope you have speakers

TGIT, or something like that.  Lifted and ran last night, not much - just 3 miles, but I'm definately back 100% into running again, it's nice.  But I have no upcoming races to enroll in so I really don't give 2 shits about it.  yup yup.   thats my life.

not much new today - again.  i have officially decided that i think terrell owens is the biggiest idiot in the NFL - yet he's on my fantasy team.   dammit. do i cheer for him or cheer against him - ahhh! i TRADE him.  anyone want him?  man i hate that cocky bastard.

Schau and Klaver were added to the Friends page yesterday - they're both pretty humorous so check them out.   New Wilson pic is up (really 2 wilson's - is wilson and his sister!) - new pic of the day is up - new MP3's later today.  my web stats are still all funky so i dunno who is reading this or what is being read, whatever - busy day today. goodbye.

October 16, 2002

Hump Day.  I miss hump day happy hour at hooters in des moines.   guess i really only went like 2 times or something, but that ruled.  so it's official - i kinda pirated seneca's run from jamie's site - but hey - he pirated it from WHO TV13 Des Moines so i don't feel guilty.  Anyways - here it is - the video of seneca wallace's incredible td run from last saturday's texas tech game.   you can right click and "save target as" if you want to save it, otherwise just click it.  you need windows media agent to play it i think, not sure though.  whatever.  thanks jamie!

Why am i suddenly addicted to the Cosby show?  man i think that show is the bomb diggidy now.  watched that last night - then Riki called and came over and made a few cd's.  She was knowingly the first pregnant woman to set foot in my new apartment.  pretty sweet huh?  thought so. So yeah - Riki and I are going to see Stone Sour (corey taylor's non-slipknot band) on October 28th.  Bought the tickets today.  Tyler called today - he's coming here for the ISU/CU game in november - that's going to be a kickass time! hopefully we can get some boarding in too while he's here - we'll see what's up i guess.  yup yup. sure will. sure enough. we will, sure thing.

hmmm, not much new.  my webstats are crashed right now so i have no clue how many of you are reading this.  the hatemail i got yesterday is exactly what i wanted when i created the hatemail@fleetmack.com account - read it on the feedback page, funny.  also the friends page is coming along nicely - again - anyone who wants to be featured just shoot me an email and you shall be up.  i like that page, funny.  ok - work time.

October 15, 2002

Gotta love those folks living in iowa don't ya?

Payday! We're sending this one away to pay for my couches I bought a couple weeks ago.  Like my new picture on the homepage?  I was so damn optimistic going into that game - I thought the 49'ers were through.  So I took a picture of myself pointing at the score - it rules.  Man I hate Terrell Owens.   I think I want him off my fantasy team.  Cocky bastard.  I heard his reasoning for it - and I know Jamie posted this too (who by the way has a link to Seneca Wallace's awesome run on saturday - go there and check it out) - but how damn cocky is it to take out a sharpie marker after you score a TD - while still in the end zone - and autograph the ball and give it to some guy sitting in the suite owned by the man who was supposed to be covering him, Shaun Springs.   Cocky mutherfucker, horrible.  Can't believe that shyte.  Whatever.   So the seahawks lost, but I don't really care - they're good and I know it.

Ladies and gentlement - I present to you - Wilson Picture #69.  And no, it has nothign to do with the humorous nature of that number. Wanna see some pictures taken by Mr. Wilson himself?  check out MrWilsonLand - which happens to be the source for most of my Wilson pix these days.

So yeah - got the friends page up and running, have some updates to do to it today, check it out - so far Kim takes the cake for funniest embarassing story :) Don't be offended if you're not posted - it just means that, uhm, I dunno - what it means is email me some info stuff, answer the questions other people have answered and I will post you ok?!  sheesh, stop whining.

So yeah - I watched the seahawks last night and was getting ready for bed, but RussL called and wanted some beers so I drove up to Boulder and went out until about 1 or so - and (imagine this) when i got home - couldn't sleep!  I don't know how many of you know this of me - but I love to write.  Last night - I didn't write.  I went back and looked at some things I wrote this summer.....probably attempts at rants I wrote while drunk or something, but damn they're kinda funny.  I have one sentimental thing I wrote about how I have the perfect life - I must've been really happy at the time becuase when I read it last night I'm like "damn - i'm a frikkin dork".   anyways - out of the 20 things or so I read last night, I will today post my favorite - entitled - Euthanasia – a philosophy I think we all should adopt  And - as usual - this shall be posted on the rants page. Also - the drive rant has been updated and a image link has been added along with 3 new things to not do while driving.

Had a request to adjust the hatemail page back the way it was.  Hmmmm, what to do.  Anyone else think anything about this?   Let me know.

October 14, 2002

HAPPY 1-DAY BELATED BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL MILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  24 - damn you're old!  guess i'm only 3 months behind you.

HELP?! - my friend Jeff needs a logo for a bar they are "making" for an entrepreneur class - if anyone has any ideas email him.

Happy Monday, er - whatever.  Had an ok weekend I guess. Friday night I just stayed home and watched movies (Taxi Driver and Goodfellas - I was in a DeNiro mood) and drank by myself, fun huh?  Saturday I got up early, got a ton of shit done - then went downtown and watched the ol' Cyclones rampage over the Red Raiders of Texas Tech.  Now we have a real challenge this weekend - if we can knock of Oklahoma on the road we are truly deserving of some BCS consideration, tough schedule lies ahead - blah blah blah.  So yeah, just stayed home and watched football all day yesterday, nothing too exciting.  But, counting Friday, I did run over 10 miles this weekend and lifted 3 times - we'll see if this "get-back-in-shape" trend lasts longer than 2 weeks this time.  Meiners - did you ever find a place to sleep Friday night?  you were damn smashed when you called. 

Seahawks are on Monday night football tonight - gotta beat the 49'ers and then the Rams next week.  It sucks playing fantasy ball because I have to have the Seahawks win - but for fantasy purposes Owens and Garcia for the 9'ers have to have a good game.  Oh the dichotomies of watching the NFL.

The hatemail page has been restyled/retitled - it is now the feedback page.  This was done becuae i've gotten 5 or 6 emails from complete strangers in the last few days which i wanted to share - but they are far from hateful.  The friends page is up and running - i have but 1 friend as of now. If you want be my friend - go to that page, read what lloyd wrote, and answer the same questions and email the answers to me and i'll profile you as well.

So yeah - hits are out of fucking control right now - we're up to well over 100,000 unique visitors this month.  Given the fact that 99.9% of them are only visiting the mirrored site of Maddox's from The Best Page In The Universe.  I don't care though - it's increased hits to the index of fleetmack.com about 20x - literally, so that's nice.  And hey mr. fuckwad emailing me viruses - i'm not an idiot - maybe i have it stamped on my head - but nobody with a brain opens an executable file emailed to them from a stranger with no return email address.  Idiot.

Hmmm, got some stuff done for the site but it's sitting at home on a zip disk and i forgot to bring it with me.  I have a new section going up entitled "fake personal pages"  this will be pages about people I completely made up.  Also - Gotte himself wrote a page from the grave, pretty neat huh?  I put some new stuff up here and there - surf around and find it.  Bye.

October 11, 2002

For those of you new to fleetmack.com - let me give you a quick rundown of what we're all about.  I am a typical computer geek with too much time on his hands - people visit my site for slight amusement.  Until recently, 80% of my visitors were my close friends - but now i'm receiving much traffic.  Every day (during the week) i give you the low-down of my life in the news section.  Every-other day, we get a new wilson picture on the wilson page. You may ask "who is Wilson?"  wilson is our great friend who does pretty strange things from time to time.  we document these things in writing, pictures, and video form and post them for all to enjoy.  Also there are a plethora of pictures on here of my personal life, you may not care.  when something pisses me off, i write about why it pisses me off.  here are those things thusfar which are so lucky to have been written about.   I also host a variety of MP3's and Videos from time to time - they can be found on the MP3 and downloads page.  and lastly is the hatemail section.  these so far hare 99.9% from my friends trying to jokingly talk smack to me - and me trying to sound pissed while i'm actually laughing my ass off and typing replies.  feel free to send me real hatemail if you wish, i don't care.  I have big changes in planning for fleetmack.com - so if you are not a loyal follower and think this site sucks, trust me - check back with us in a month or so and you'll laugh your fucking ass off, plus it'll be interactive pretty quickly.  take care.

TGIF - i'm ready for the weekend.  basically worked out last night and watched TV - saw my favorite south park ever (besides towelie) - the volcano.   maybe i like it so much because that was the first one i ever saw, not sure

Ok - here's a link my boss sent me.  are these kids for real??

I am officially temporarily hosting part of The Best Page In The Universe and MAN - that increases the hits!! i had no idea that guy got that much traffic! i started hosting i think 2 pages of his site around 2p.m. yesterday and when i got to work this morning - i saw that fleetmack.com got over 18000 (yes eighteen thousand) unique visitors yesterday!! i usually get like 50 or 60 TOPS.  NICE!!!!  so that's pretty damn cool if you ask me.

Hart -you're causing family trouble, the feedbacks are starting wars!!!   when was the last time i slammed GW anyways?  man, i'll do it now in the modified words of Jeff Spicoli - "that guy's a fag!"  (fast times ridgemont high)

weekend plans - hmmm, ISU vs. Texas Tech - going downtown with mr. scandrett and friends all day saturday. probably just lay low 2nite.  need to lay low sunday too because Monday night is the big Seahawks monday night football game vs. the 49ers.  those fucks are going down!

Funny - read from the bottom up, my replies are in bold. :

Those MP3's are stored on a server in Sweden.  If any record company has the
time to go after somebody in Sweden hosting about 15 MP3's - they've got way
too much time on their hands, even though no international laws are yet
passed.  Also - why is there no listing for such a company as Thulsa West &
Associates anywhere to be found?  Just curious, but thanks for the heads-up.

Note how my little weather dealy thing above now says Westminster instead of Broomfield.  Pretty neat, ehhh? ehh? ehhh? *nudging you with elbow like on caddyshack*

A tie to start out the season - I guess it's better than a loss. so we're 0-0-1.  we're predicted everywhere to win the cup again this year - but damn the hockey season is so long, we won't find out until mid-june probably. 

So yeah, basically I just watched that game last night and played some Golden Tee.  Didn't score a number, scored a letter if that tells you anything ;o)

Uhm.....new stuff, hmmm.  The bachelor party page was updated yesterady.  OGC informs me he would like to bid on the 11 or 10pm slots on the "when will OGC pass out" contest.  I think we can arrange that.  New pic of the day but the same ol' wilson pictures is up.   I'm sorry to hear that some of your companies (ie - Troy and Kris) are blocking you from access to fleetmack.com.    Just so all of you know - you can access areas of the site through either my IP addy or through specific links as well, such as http://www.fleetmack.com/News.htm  or http://www.fleetmack.com/wilson/wilsonarchive.htm   etc. etc. etc.  If you want to use the IP addy - you can just use  http://216.127.74.13/~admin7/   and that should work the same, if none of these options work, i don't know if I can do anythign for you.  Ask your system to unblock fleetmack.com, it's not bad!

ok - time to work.  If anyone has anything funny or any pix or anything to post let me know.  also - visitors are all welcome to come out here.   It appears as if Nic is coming here for the ISU/CU game in Nov, Schweers may be out here in late November, and my sister may be here in early December, and I believe Powell is going to be up in Estes for New Year's.  Anyone else wanna drink and snowboard/ski?  You're more than welcome, I'll be here.

Oh yeah - new MP3's went up yesterday.  I've gotten over 70 downloads of Escape by Rupert Holmes.  Is that song that hard to find?? Sheesh.  Guess that's officially a permanent MP3 on fleetmack.com because I'm getting major traffic becuase of it.  I'm going to adjust some stuff to get more hits too.  Google refreshed my site last week it looks like - never really looked into that until I saw some shit in my logs.  whatever, you don't care. back to work.

October 09, 2002

You're DAMN right sports illustrated picked the av's to win it all this year!!

got a new addition to the bachelor party plans - check it

Hello - I got at least a little sleep last night, not much but i'm at least halfway coherent today.  Man - I've just been getting hammered at work lately, this mornign has been busy - but these weeks and days couldn't go any slower!  I mean - yesterday I had a server crash and I left for an hour and a half to donate blood and the day still seemed about 20 hours long!   Today it'll go slow - tonight i need to clean up an oil spill and watch the Av's kick off hockey season, nice 1-2 combo huh?

So yeah - not much new, watched 3000 miles from graceland last night - that's a pretty cool movie except for the fact that I think kevin costner is a horrible actor so he kind of ruined it for me, other than that it was ok - but the ending was way too predictable.  if you've seen bandits with billy bob thornton then you can guess the ending to this movie.  damn - question of the day - oh, nevermind - bruce willis.   i was like "who was the other robber in 'bandits'?!" but now i know - and knowing is 1/2 the battle.

Yup yup - hump day and it feels like friday.  to celebrate this occasion i'll give you a new wilson (and hart) picture and picture of the day - enjoy.  uhm - random thought for the day:  are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?  just another mystery of life.  there are so many of those, yup, sure are.

October 08, 2002

No time - long day, it's 8:10, i got 2 winks and 3 seconds of sleep, we've had a server crash this morning that I need to rebuild ASAP, i dropped a huge water cooler thing, i have to give blood today,  and i'm officially single for a long time. fuck my life. enjoy yours.  have a nice day.

October 07, 2002

That's right - the rants page is equipped with a Wal-Mart rant as of...............................NOW

Monday Monday.  Eagles Lost. Seahawks bye week. ISU bye week.   Monday night football game is boring.  but who cares - hockey starts wednesday - the yankees are out - and the twins won - that's a successful weekend! not sure how the fantasy teams fared, but we'll find out at 11:30 when them damn peak hours are over on sandbox.com

So i'm all settled in at my apartment.  Bought some couches on saturday morning and Chris and I picked them up yesterday, they're sweet.  In about 10 minutes I'll have up a page with pix of my new apartment - check it out. It'll be weird adjusting to apartment life, haven't lived in one for like 4 years i think?   yup yup.

nothing new that i can think of - there's a few new feedbacks on hart's fooseball article at the bottom of the article, pretty funny. New Wilson picture is up - pretty good one.  I'm VERY low on wilson picture stock, please send me some - along with a new wilson story - somebody please!!  can't think of anything else new today, i'm sure more will come to me.

October 04, 2002

Thank fucking heaven this week is almost over, it feels like an eternity since i've had a day off!  i did NOT want to get out of bed this morning at all, it's nice having a shorter drive.  i woke up at 7:10 - left at 7:25 - and was in my office by 7:50.   nice.  Went out with a few friends last night downtown, had a good time listening to some sublime on the juke and all that fun stuff and seen some people (Aja) i ain't seen in awhile so that was pretty kewl.  wow, i haven't typed "kewl" in years. yup yup.   So yeah......uhm...hmmmmm.  why can't i think of anything interesting to post on this site anymore?   I put a new wilson pic up - and the pic of the day is an archived wilson picture. someone please send me a wilson story!  i'm working now on a "tribute to Ryan Heuton" page which I will have up early next week.  On this page I will have some pictures, music, and other stuff.  I'm also going to put anything anybody wants me to put up regarding him on there - messages, songs, pictures, whatever - but he deserves it.

I could drink a keg of water right now.

Well, apparently I am supposed to get my apartment today, we'll see we'll see.  I know there's some stuff I wanted to post today but I can't remember any of it, when it comes to me I'll be back.  Later and have a good weekend!>  sorry about how slow the site is today, i do not know the cause yet.

October 03, 2002

Hart - you've got to be kidding me.   Best line from this article, I shit you not this is copied and pasted:  At 10, the two-for-one deal ends, but ladies night begins, luring in an abundance of scantily clad college females. Hart refers to this as "eye candy."  Go to the article and leave a feedback at the bottom of the page slamming hart, it'll be fun

Ok - first and foremost - honestly, what kind of sick fuckers search the web?  Also - what the hell do I have on my site that would get this google search string to redirect someone to my site?   Jeez:   "retarted fucking"    come on people.  do you really want to see corky having sex with warren from there's something about mary?  get a life.    but why did that link to my site?  hmmmm.....

Hells Yes the Yankees lost!  GO ANGELS!  we just need to braves to start winning.  i fucking hate barry bonds and his cocky steroid ass, he needs to get hosed down with gasoline and dried off with a blowtorch.  worthless fucker.

Played 2 horrible rounds of Golden Tee last night - that kinda bit - and now for the real news........drumroll please.......RIKI IS PREGNANT!!!!  she called me yesterday to tell me - and for those of you who don't know me at all - no, it's not mine - we're just friends :o) heheheh.  she's so happy and excited, it's the first time in my life i've felt excited and happy when i found out a friend was pregnant.   i was all acting like it was mine or something - i said to her "woo hoo! we're having a baby!"  she thought it was pretty funny.  she calls me and says "well, the real reason i was gonna call was to see if you wanted to hang out and get drunk this weekned, but i won't be doing that for about 9 months or so".  i was dumbfounded, woo hoo!  i feel like i'm practically going to be an uncle or something, this rules.  if her guy-friend is a dick to her about this i'm going to flip out because i don't really like him anyways, but i don't think he'll do that.

Hmmmm, what else what else. Finished the 1st season of the Simpsons last night, read last night, worked out last night.  I'm getting so much shit done these days, if only I had my apartment!  the fuckers called again yesterday and delayed it until "friday or saturday" until i move in - nothing like living out of a box!   i got to work today at 7:20ish, that is how much sleep and energy i have! this rules.   ok, time to work.  new pic of the day and that's about it.  I think i'm going to put up the murderdolls album for download here this afternoon.  i doubt anyone wants it, but hey - whatever.  stone sour is coming to denver oct. 24th - think i'll go, why wouldn't i?  and lastly - wilson - another hotel room may be needed, unsure at this time.  i'll get in touch.  and tim - if you're reading this - your check wasn't at the house (we have no mail there) but i kept the key so i can go back this weekned and look for it.  or is it at the post office?  i dunno - i'll call you.  ok - work time.  peace.   and FUCK THOSE KIDS IN MILWAUKEE.  damn hoodlems.  they can join barry bonds in the above posted activity.

October 02, 2002

Mornin'!  Want some funny reading?  Check out this guy's idea of "Music that Sucks"   Even if you don't agree with him, it's pretty funny.  Actually, his whole site is pretty damn funny - enjoy.  Hmmm, what else what else.  My moving has been delayed yet another day - I really don't care at this point though, whatever happens happens and it's not in my control so whateverthefuck.

Bought the Murderdolls cd last night - it's ok but not what I expected.   You give me Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Tripp Eisen of Static-X and I expected a hardcore heavy thrasher cd - but I got this punk-meets-metal shit like the Sex Pistols or something.  We all know I think punk music is gay becuase they lyrics are so damn cheesey  All these punk music songs are about people being losers, maybe thats why everyone listens to it now, becuase people realize what they are. Honestly - Blink 182 lyrics - "I cannot wait 'till I get home to pass the time in my room alone".   Ok loser.  at least the murderdolls come at you with cool shit like "in the summer of '76-6-6 I nailed a G.I. Joe to a Crucifix" or "I hate your voice and I hate your face, exterminate you from the human race". They still come at you hard even though the guitars suck - maybe Joey should have stuck to drums instead of guitar.

Anyone got something funny?  I don't have much today - email it to me so I can post it or something.  I'll put up a new pic on the Wilson Page and I'm going to randomly select a picture of the day, dunno what it is yet but that link will give you your answer. 

October 01, 2002

Hello, I am sleepy becuase I took a claratin this morning and I don't buy into that shit that it doesn't make you drowsey - that's bullshit.  So yeah, had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday - he said I'm much better and my lungs are cleared up, that's good - he also gave me a perscription for claranix for when my claratin pills run out, yippie kay yay mutherfucker.  Helped Tom move and said bye to him, Helped Tim move and said bye to him, Russ helped me move the last of my shit to my place, then I fell asleep until 9:30ish....after that I couldn't sleep and have basically been awake since.   I went to my apartment complex's weight room for an hour or so and worked out until 11ish then I came home and watched my Simpsons 1st Season DVD's until about 4:30 when I fell asleep until about 5:30 awaking from allergies - popped a claratin and listened to the radio.  I need to re-pack tonight so the movers can move all my shit for me tomorrow morning while I'm at work and I need to go couch shopping, fun huh?  yeah - i'm excited about it.

I need to get in my new apartment so I can make some phone calls - I haven't had time to call anyone back and I've got like 8 message on my phone I haven't replied to yet.  Can you tell I'm trying to make myself sound popular? :o)   Broncos lost last night - that should shut this town up for awhile, thank God.   Man, that team wins 3 fucking games and the whole city swears to God they will win the super bowl and are the best team ever.  Kudos for the confidence in their team, but man the broncos suck.  Not that the seahawks are any better - whatever.  my fantasy football team officially sucks ass.  My fantasy baseball team finished 5th out of 8th - humph.  thank God I didn't put any money down on those teams!  So yup yup, that's my life in a nutshell, and i'm not going to retype the austin powers "nutshell" thing like i've been doing in emails to everyone as of late, hehehehe.  ok, so that's all for now.  goodbye.
