TGIT, meaning - I have Friday off. I'm off work today at 3 until 8am Monday morning, giggidy. I think New Year's plans are getting scored here, after discussing with Bob and Nat last night, looks like downtown and eating at Buca di Beppo, the 2nd best restaurant on Earth (behind Maggiano's, of course). Aja is in town, and Rikelle is bartending at B52's...apparently there's fireworks and stuff downtown. SOOOOO, likely I'll ride the board all day Friday, come back to go out, go out in downtown for NYE, then possibly board on Saturday, then Sunday watch the week 17 NFL beeyatch! Seahawks are in, now we just need to beat ATL to win the division. 9-7 is respectable, all things considered, we're a mere 6 minutes away from being 11-5, not too shabby, that would have us listed as favorites in the playoffs in the NFC with T.O. hurt I bet. Yup, I'm rambling.

Pictures from Christmas will be up shortly, I need to upload my new Iowa page I built last night, it'll be just like the Colorado page, so you can find the new pix under December 2004....go look for yourself, I can't link it yet because I haven't uploaded it yet, which - in turn, means I can't test the link I didn't make. Blah blah blah.

Random Thoughts VI will be up next week, I'm just deciding if it's good enough to post or not, likely not...whatever.

Have a very safe New Year's Eve and welcome to 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Iowa State Cyclones are the 2004 Independence Bowl winners!! Way to go! We've got a VERY young team, so watch out next year. Freshman and Sophomores accounted for 86% of all scoring this year, and we've got recruits coming in! We're getting stronger....

Watched Anchorman last night...it was equally as funny as the first time and has secured it's spot as 2nd Funniest Movie of All Time on my list (behind Dumb & Dumber). Realize you must judge movies based on how hard you laughed at them the first time you saw it. I bought the 2-pack, can't wait to watch the other DVD, this thing has a shit-ton of extras on it.

My glasses are horribly unaligned on my face, they hurt and are digging into my nose. Surgery is just 3 months away.......

I forgot my pix at home again, shit. I will post them eventually, I promise....that's all...seriously.

December 28, 2004

Back to the warmth! Man Iowa was cold, but it was great to see family and friends and all that fun stuff. I have pix galore, but we'll save those for tomorrow, namely because they're at home and I cannot post pictures if I don't have them with me. The Seahawks won (and are in the playoffs - likely with a Green Bay rematch...exactly what I wanted!), the Cyclones play in the Independence Bowl tonight, and most importantly......

I really haven't got much to say today, I could think of a billion things I could say if I wanted to, but I just don't feel like it. WONDERFUL!! to be back in Colorado and working this mammoth 20 hour work week. Bring on 2005!!! I don't' know what to post for MP3 or pic today, I'm sure I can find something.

Here's a weird dream for you....last night.....
I'm in Portland watching a Seahawks game from the top of some hill. (even though they play in a STADIUM in SEATTLE) I'm with my parents. Suddenly I notice that Mt. St. Helens is erupting like a rockstar. What do I do? Naturally I climb in my 4 wheeler and start driving down some stairs on it, Mom stops to take a photo of me jumping down the stairs. All of a sudden, like a wave of ash, we are covered in ash and lava starts floating at us, suddenly I'm watching Henry Rollins drive a Hummer with the top down (apparently a convertible Hummer) He's just bolting through the liquid hot magmmmmmmmma like a knife through warm butter. He asks if any lava got in my shirt, it did, so I untuck it and lava pours out of my shirt, but it wasn't hot. Then we all went to Cold Stone Creamery. Weird.

It doesn't snow for like 2 weeks but then the one day I have to drive 700 miles it starts snowing, humph. Supposed to snow off and on through Thursday night, so I suppose I better drive back tonight anyways. Got new tires yesterday and put new brakes on last night, Laetitia is ready to go cross-country! I was doing laundry last night and getting ready to pack, but having been on 2 hours of sleep from the previous night, I just couldn't make it. Around 3am the alarm was chirping at me to inform me to go switch my laundry around, next thing I know it's 8:15am, I haven't packed, I'm in bed, and my laundry is still wet. So here I sit at work in jeans, still have Christmas shopping to do, and still need to pack. I'm an ID-ten-T.

Anyways, back to Carroll tonight, might only make halfway tonight, we'll see. I've got a lot of things to finish up at work today yet too. I'm really not creative today and don't feel like thinking, so that's it for ya. Have a great Christmas, I'll be back next Tuesday I think. Yup. Merry Christmas.

December 21, 2004

I'm on no sleep - NO sleep. You don't know what it's like in there! All night long things are creakin' and crackin', that red light is burning my brain!

I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping, did that last night until around 10 or so, man I hate the mall. Just need to run over to the Mills over lunch, slap some new tires on Laetitia this afternoon, then I'm ready to head back to the homeland for a few days. The INSANE wind has subsided, I seriously think that yesterdays wind could be the hardest wind I've ever been in during my lifetime. I seriously couldn't even walk at one point yesterday afternoon as it pushed me back. I think they said we had 100mph gusts. (ok, I lied -- Superior (5 miles north of me) topped out at 95MPH yesterday) So those of you East of me, enjoy the wind! :) Now comes the cold, it was still in the mid to upper 50's yesterday, but now I go back to Iowa where I read it's negative temperatures. I miss Colorado already and I haven't even left yet.

I used one of those digital-photo-maker-developer things in Wal-Mart last night, that could become addicting.

Tonight I get to do laundry and pack and all that fun stuff. Filled out my football pix and watched Family Guy last night at Old C's, so I'm all sorts of ready to go!

Check out a new Christmas MP3 of the day today! Enjoy! And my picture of the day is one of my all time favorites. And lastly, a Wil$on Christmas picture of the day as well. Have a good one.

Side note: I lied and can't find my Wil$on Christmas Picture.....but I did find this, hadn't looked at it in awhile and it cracks me up every time!

If anyone has a windows 2000 advanced server product key....i'd REALLY appreciate having it, email it to me....not 2000 pro, 2000 advanced server...thanks!

What a perfect weekend, with the exception of the Seahawks, that is. But we're still in the division lead yet, and the Rams have to play the Jets and Eagles yet, so we'll likely pull through and somehow win that awful excuse for a division. The rest of the weekend was perfect, I'll post some pix on the new Colorado pix page, look under December. I won't post a direct link as you'll have to learn how to work it on your own - it ain't that tricky!

I'm likely heading back to Iowa on Wednesday night. No traveling around this time back. I'm in the car enough for the drive home, I don't need to drive to Des Moines, Ames, Timbuktu, or anywhere further than the Rec Center for that matter. I'll be in Carroll the whole time unless I go see my Grandma in New Hampton. I'll be back in Denver on Monday. I'm really really really leaning towards staying here for New Year's now, that drive just sucks and I'd miss out on some incredible snowboarding. And I didn't move here to drive back all the time - I moved here because of snowboarding, so I'm not passing it up in the prime of the season! Then on January 6th it's off to Phoenix for 4 days, then I'll likely be here until I go to Georgia in March. Yup - that's my plan!

We're back to Christmas MP3's .... and as usual.... this one is first. This'll be the 3rd year in a row I've put this one up. Maybe I'll put up some legit ones here shortly.

I'm out to work for the day now, have a good one!!!!

December 17, 2004

Funny how time flies, it's Friday already, and we're a mere 7 days from Christmas Eve. I did some Christmas shopping last night and got all my hairs cut (as opposed to getting "a hair cut"). Cooked, watched the O.C., cleaned my bathroom, and watched my Chimaira DVD again. Exciting life, huh?

Got plans tonight, tomorrow going riding (not sure where yet, someplace with beginner/intermediate rails - the 2-3 foot high ones, hopefully). Not sure what's up Saturday night yet, might stay in the mountains, might come back to Denver, who knows. Sunday the Bob and Cori's Jets are taking on my Seahawks. We really need this win badly, very badly, so all your enthusiasm would help leaps and bounds. I shall run at least 12 miles over the weekend as well, to hopefully put me at a solid 28 for the week, not bad for 4 runs! The 1/2 marathon is only 3 weeks away....hope I can finish it or I'll feel like a tool.

I'm still about 50/50 on New Year's plans, found out Aja will be here for New Years now...so I just don't know what to do. On one hand, my first 3 years of New Years out here haven't been anything special and there's a great party in Ames or I can go see Corey Taylor play in Des Moines..... On the other hand I can go snowboarding all weekend (will be crowded though, damn tourists), or go out with Aja to B52's since Riki started bartending there and will be working that night. Decisions decisions.

I can't believe 20 of you actually downloaded that Chimaira entire cd yesterday! I'm impressed! Anyways, it's down now and a new more everyone-friendly MP3 is up for the weekend. Speaking of weekends, have a safe one and watch Eva on Sunday, she wants me.

December 16, 2004

I am in an incredible mood today! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it, see ya. Hahahahahahahaha, and you wanted a real update. Hahahhahahahahaha.

Go ask Sexy Kelly a question, or sign my guestbook, or post in my forums. Bwwwwwaaa hahahhaaha. I'll post an entire album as MP3 of the day today, why? Because I'm in a good mood, so don't ask questions! Picture of the day rules, but you just won't understand how fun it was because likely, you weren't there and you missed out on a GREAT time.

What I am listening to as I type this: N.W.A. - 8 Ball

December 15, 2004

Eva is so yummy....oh man. I did watch Desperate Housewives the other night for the sole reason that I wanted to watch her. HORRIBLE show, seriously awful. Will I continue to watch it? Yes....until Eva is no longer on it. Wow. Wow.

I ran 8 miles in 73-ish minutes last night. Kinda slow, but whatever. Do you know how boring it gets running on a treadmill for over an hour when the TV's have no satellite? I had to watch some show The Biggest Loser which was horrible, it's a bunch of fat fuckers forced to work out and whoever doesn't lose the most weight gets voted off. Horrible. I was still able to get up at 5:30 this morning and go lift at the gym. When you use a college gym and the college goes on winter break - you're REALLY limited as to when you can go, so I needs to get to sleep early this week!

If another person sends me that f**king email saying that cell phones are going to be solicited shortly so I should add mine to the no-call list, I'm seriously going to flip. Note to all idiots: ANY EMAIL that says "forward to everyone" or "send this to your friends" -- whether it's warning you of a virus, cell phone solicitation, free money, whatever - THEY ARE ALL HOAXES!!! Fuck me why did I ever do this. Getting angry..........Eva......Eva..........Eva.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Did I mention that Eva Longoria made the cover of Maxim this month? That coupled with Brooke Burke being on Playboy last month should do more than prove to every man on Earth that God loves us. Seriously, just look at her!!

New MP3 is up today, as is new Picture of the day.....and last night I re-organized about a year or so of pictures on the beta of the new Colorado pix page. I've always wanted to say Beta and not mean a fish. Now I feel cool. Have a great burrito day.

What I am listening to as I type this: M.C. Ren - Attack on Babylon

December 14, 2004

Did anyone catch that Titans/Chiefs game last night? If so - was that play where they hiked the ball straight sideways to the RB not the coolest frickin' play you've ever seen? Man that was cool. I officially finished first in the standings of Denver Fantasy Football....even without the Priest for the last 4 weeks. In Iowa fantasy I finished 3rd. On to the playoffs! I'm a little worried about playing Eyan in Denver fantasy, but I think I'm going to take Tone Capone to school in Iowa. I don't think I have much of a chance at all of winning either league...but there's trophies up for grabs!

Let's all take a moment to laugh our asses off at Eli Manning right quick. On one hand, he could have: Been a single guy living in San Diego (where it's warm and the hottest of all women reside), playing on division-winning team, had a starting job wrapped up for next year as Drew Brees is likely leaving after this year. Or.......live where it's cold, your team sucks, you suck, you tied up the salary cap for awhile, and Kurt Warner is actually better than you. hahahaha, what a dipshit. And just think, San Diego gets their draft pick next year - the shittier the Giants (and Eli) do, the better pick the Chargers get. This rules because it hurts the Broncos even more :) Thanks for having no brain and a huge ego, dipshit. hahahahahahahahahaha.....

Is Christmas really only 11 days away?! I should start shopping, really. Should I do that this weekend? Nah, think I'll go ride the board instead. Shopping is for the 23rd-24th of December.

I was working on the re-vamped site for awhile last night when I thought of a new way to sort my random pictures, the first installment of this will be posted today....with pix from this weekend....I'm going to wait to see how well this works before I convert everything to it though. Until then, go check out the new format of the Colorado Pix page. Have a great day, I've got shit to do, so should you. Stop reading. Goodbye.

December 13, 2004

I ran out of gas this morning. I didn't think 30 degrees was that cold until I walked 2 miles in it with no gloves on while holding a container of gas. One more thing - walking along I70 at 8:00am is LOUD! Very loud.

Snowboarding ruled. The Seahawks rule. This weekend ruled. Yup. I have pictures, but imagine this - they're at home.

Reason # 7283 the NBA is stupid: Kobe Bryant can't forgive Karl Malone for hitting on his wife. Kobe's wife forgave him for fucking a teenager. Hmmmmm. Which is worse? What a tool.

My hands smell like petroleum. Why did I have to run out of gas? I'm going to stink like the Shell station all day long.

I actually washed Laetitia this weekend, first time since July! She's so appreciative. I also flushed her tranny on Friday, she's running like a dream. Seriously, could there be a better car?! All she needs is a new muffler and she'll be just like the day I bought her, I've been putting that off for too long, maybe that'll be my birthday present to myself.

I had about 74 things I was going to write, but I forgot them all. Oops.

What I am listening to as I type this: Pantera - Yesterday Don't Mean Shit

December 10, 2004

Giggidy Giggidy Giggidy, Breck got 29 inches of snow in the last 48 hours. Allllllll Riiiiiiiiiiiight. I'm heading up to the mountains until Sunday I think, left all my stuffs at home though, might not leave until the morning...I don't know, we'll see. Whatever. This wind needs to stop.

I'm putting a bunch of Pantera up today as a tribute to Dimebag...I'll pick out my top 5 favorite Pantera songs and post them as MP3 of the day as one large zip file.

What is this? Kingpin?

Wil$on picture is updated....kinda look like Mitch there, Wil$on! By the way, I'm low on Wil$on pix if anyone has some for me ;o)

Boston Pictures went up yesterday, they turned out ok I guess. Have a great weekend!

What I am listening to as I type this: Mitch Hedberg - Mitch All Together

December 09, 2004

R.I.P. Dimebag.....thanks for the kickass guitar and music....if it wasn't for you we couldn't have called up people randomly at Klaver's house when we were 14 and play Fucking Hostile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Special MP3 for you.... pretty predictable I bet...

What I am listening to as I type this: Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea

December 08, 2004

I went to bed right around 8 last night, I slept until 7:15 this morning, it was awesome. That's all I did last night besides go grocery shopping and watch Family Feud & Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. ISU/Iowa game Friday, I could care less as all my teams are jinxed so we'll probably be leading until :15 to go in the game then lose as Iowa will score 22 points in 15 seconds to break an all time record. Mark my words.

I'm an idiot, I left my Boston pictures at home again, but I do have my pictures from the Old C's X-Mas party, they'll be up shortly on the New Pix page.

What I am listening to as I type this: Chimaira - Down Again

December 07, 2004

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!! I no longer wish birthday's except for family members, but since it's the same day...hell -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY YORT DIGGIDY!

I'm dead serious here - don't fucking mention the Seahawks to me right now. Just don't. There's a strong possibility I broke my hand last night. I haven't been that pissed since...well....I guess when the Seahawks blew that game to the Rams. Mutherfucker. Seriously, though - DO NOT mention anything to me, you won't get a response. But seriously, the last time I punched anything that hard was when that flight got cancelled back on March 9 of 2002 (go read it in the news archives if you'd like)......man that month in general sucked major ass. In fact, March always sucks ass. Can you tell who's in a bad mood today?

MP3 today is me facing the truth after another devestating loss..... do you know how mutherfucking hard it is to be a Seahawks fan?! holy shit, sometimes I think God is sitting up there laughing his ass off at me. "Look at this dipshit. He likes the Seahawks, Cyclones, and Avalanche. Let's get his teams SO close every year then let them fail just so Bryan can be miserable." Fucking Seahawks. Joe Pesci, I'm pissed (George Carlin reference.....he says instead of using the Lord's name in vain, just use Joe Pesci's name in vain.) Seriously. Can you believe that fucking game?!?!? At least I'm still in 1st in (denver) fantasy football.

I can't wait to re-launch this site...I've got ideas just oozing out of my brain, but first I need a security patch for my guestbook, damn "hackers" keep "hacking" my guestbook (hardly a hack as a 2 year old could do it).....yup yup it's teddy, ready with the 1-2 checkup......

Fucking Seahawks have me too pissed to do a real update today. Sorry. Hey Murdock - your wife is hot. Seriously. Have as much sex with her as you possibly can. How many times did I type "seriously" in today' news, like 800,000?! Fucking Seahawks. I better win powerball on wednesday so I can just buy happiness since my teams can't provide it to me.

December 06, 2004

Back from Boston - what a kickass time. I have lots of pictures but woke up late today so didn't have time to bring them with me, I'll look forward to posting them later this week for you. Met some new people, went to some basketball games, saw the sites, ate lots of chowda, all in all a fantastic trip. There's a very strong possibility I'll have to go back sometime soon.

I'm tired....

What I am listening to as I type this: Jurassic 5 - Break

December 02, 2004

Ok - this group is seriously kickass. Chali 2na Fish has one of the coolest voices in the history of music. I officially love Jurassic 5.

I did a lot of stuff last night, namely, I got the camera tried out, I'll put up a picture or 11 for you on the new pix page in a few minutes. Enjoy the new 4 megapixel FleetCamera!

Mmmmmmmm....Krispy Kreme donuts....arrrrrggghhhhhhhhh

T-Minus 6 hours until I leave for Boston for the weekend.....hope to have a great time.

I was listening to this band this morning, they're called "Slipknot" or something. Wow, the album really impressed me. I'm thinking of becoming a fan.

Have a great weekend - go see the FLM Band show....and go stream their music on my MP3 page....... recommendation: listen to Carry On..... that's their best song in my

What I am listening to as I type this: Chimaira - SP Lit

December 01, 2004

December already - yikes, Christmas is getting closer huh? So I've been really busy lately, still am, but whatever, you deserve an update.

First and foremost, Mr. Matthew Renze's band, For Love And Money - is having an album release party this Friday. It's at the House of Bricks in Des Moines....where the Corey Taylor/Fleetmack pictures were taken. This is right across the street from Merle Hay Mall....and I could be wrong, I haven't lived in Des Moines for over 3 years, but I think it's on the corner of Douglas and Merle Hay Road? If I lived within 300 miles I'd be there - seriously. This album as had so much work into it and everyone I know who has heard it has thought it was amazing. Seriously - you should go. The MP3 page has links on how to stream the whole album today so you can take a listen. Hell, that'll be posted until I get back from my vacation that I'm leaving for tomorrow. I will have a review of the album up next week, but I just don't have the time to do it this week.

KBPI has 2 things bugging the shiite out of me lately. Not that any of you listen to it, but man - Rear-End Rita is driving me nucking futs. "Rear-End Rita and you can't deny, giving me the Locker Room traffic live." Man I don't like that chick at all. Every morning, instead of hearing traffic, she sounds all rude, "Some idiot hit a guardrail on I25 and is making you all late for work. Give him the finger as you drive by him." "Some morons decided it'd be a great idea to have a P.O.S. car stall in the middle of the road. Way to go idiots - try riding the bus from now on." SHUT THE HELL UP BITCH!!! Also, come on, it's Wednesday -- 3 days after the loss, do we really need to be talking about how and why the Broncos lost last week still? Seriously, the Seahawks lost, have I bitched about it for 3 straight days? Man, grow up. Ok, got that out of my system :)

Went out to Hard Rock Cafe with Jeremy last night, I had never been there before (in Denver), not a bad place. Happy hour had 1/2 price Avalanche Ales, pretty hard to go wrong with that. Good to see Jeremy too. I got home and watched Spies Like Us on HBO when I got home. I love that movie, I own the DVD, plus I think Vanessa Angel (also from Kingpin) is absolutely gorgeous. And Chevy Chase cracks my ass up in that movie every time. "You have a tent?!"

I have a new favorite website, but I'm not going to share it with you for awhile. It's a chick's personal site, it rules, seriously, and it's made me MAJORLY re-think the re-launch of fleetmack.com that was scheduled for January 8th, 2005. I'm going to be delaying that as her site has inspired and sparked about 2000 new ideas into my mind. Such a cool site...seriously. But I need to learn some more flash and master my PHP and ASP before I get this finalized, and with the holidays and snowboarding, it could be awhile. For this reason, I have pushed back the re-launch to July 1, 2005. Sorry, maybe earlier if it permits - but we'll see.

I've got lots to do tonight, gotta hit up Gordon Biersch with some friends, gotta meet Duane for a few minutes to give him back things he left in my car, gotta pack, gotta do laundry, gotta sleep at some point....humph. My windshield crack grew tremendously yesterday, damn cold! Ok - back to work, new Wil$on picture is up - it's him at the last For Love and Money concert ... ON STAGE!!

Oh - one last thing -- if I haven't written you back in emails lately, really don't take it personally, I'm hounded.
