Gotta DIGG It

So I came across this Internet video site Revision3. I'm wont review the site, but I will say I love it and would classify it as a geeky type of site, I don't know if the people that are on it would agree to that or not. One of my favorite shows on there is called Diggnation. Its based upon the popular Digg website that is basically a fancy way of sharing your favorite sites with other people. OK, i know I'm getting technical, so I will just tell you why I like the show. Its these 2 guys, they call each other "dude", talking about popular stories on the Internet. I pretty much laugh my way through the whole thing most episodes. You owe it to yourself to check out at least one, you may get addicted too.

Promise to do better, damn did I even post last year?

Bitch time, biotchs

More useless crap that pisses me off:

  • People that play World of Warcraft & download torrents so much they never have a chance to Blog anymore :)
  • ISPs that send out letters to their customers that download torrents.
  • Untrimmed mustaches, especially on myself! I hate drinking with a straw.
  • Weather. It needs to be really cold for a long time & then really hot for a long time, not all jumbled up. I'm tired of hunting my coat every other morning.
  • Busy restaurants. Why don't people eat at home every once in a while, I get to go out once every 2 months and its always busy!
  • Being broke. I'm sure I've blogged about this before but hey, id like to eat out more than 1 frigging time every 2 months! Let some other poor bastard Blog about busy restaurants!
  • Auto repairs. Even when I think I'm getting a good deal on a needed repair I feel like I'm getting ripped off.
  • Windows Vista - lmao
  • Clothes. Just give me something to wear, screw shopping.
  • Greedy people. Too many scenario's to even point out, but a few would be the octopussy chick that wants more kids than she can possibly care for, investment bankers that screw mom and dad so they can have 200 million dollars in the bank instead of 150 million & poor mouthing bastards that don't want to pay for car repair. Oh ya, never mind...
  • Daylight savings time. I hate waking up with it being light outside and going home when its dark. Somebody fix that please.
  • People that are pissed with Christian Bale. You don't walk into the Dark Knight's scene biotchs!
  • Peanut Butter, my god, its bad enough I'm from Georgia, and we have some Bubba sending out tainted PB, but now I cant even enjoy my favorite lunch because of the bastard! Now every time I have a PB&J I will have to worry about team diarrhea showing up on my doorstep.
  • Jane Seymour's open heart design pendant. If your heart is open love will always find a way in? Lol. Is it me or does it look like an Arabic Z or something? I love ya Jane, but carry your ass back to the drawing pad...

More to come I'm sure...

Beauty...full

There once were eyes that only saw you
But you never knew
A portrait of a flower in full bloom
But you never knew, never knew no
And the words that you fear will always be
The words you hear

Hey Dorthy, check this out...

I was just reading over some of my last Blogs and I notice that I didn't write anything about the tornado that blew through about 5 months ago. So sorry. I'm the type of person that always wondered why people that live in crazy places and risk life and limb to do so should move, and in the past 10 years Ive lived through a flood and tornado that pretty much changed the layout and look of our small community.

Both disasters rated high on the US event / CNN factor, and the last even ranked a visit from now sitting President George W. Bush. Also something that both have in common is the fact that each have a small somewhat whimsical tale to them from a purely personal perspective.

The first, the great flood of '94 caused by hurricane Alberto dropped 22 inches of rain in a 24 hour period and caused 15 deaths in Americus, about half of the city was underwater and most bridges were washed out that lead into our little town. I was watching the footage on CNN from a hotel room in Texas, we had left just as the sprinkles started and got back from vacation as the town just began the rebuilding process. Luckily none of my family or friends were killed or injured in the flooding, unfortunately I did know most of the people that were killed, some of which were co-workers.

The second catastrophe was from a unnamed tornado that killed 2 and swept away many homes, businesses and our hospital. The twister sat down less than a mile behind our house and skipped over our historic district hitting the medical community and taking out pretty much all our fast food joints and a couple of grocery stores along the way. I was particularly upset when the power went off that night because I happened to be in the middle of a instance in World Of Warcraft, for those of you who don't know, this is very disturbing indeed! As the power went off and the silence grew, the sound and pressure of the tornado was felt by everyone in the house. I was looking out the door when the power lines started falling and popping, green and blue flashes from the lines lite up the darkness as we all huddled in our small bathroom. The day after was really the scariest after we saw what we did miss. The hardest part of the ordeal was not having power or water for a week. I can only imagine what the people in New Orleans went through. On a side note, our hospital is rebuilding, and we have a chance to win a MRI machine for it, if you could please vote at http://www.winanmri.com/ remember to vote for Sumter Regional Hospital.

So, I guess its not practicle for people to just pick up and move because of a flood or tornado or any other natural disaster. But with every ones help, Americus persevered and I'm sure we will grow to be even bigger and better. Thanks for everyone who helped during the disasters, everyone who thought and prayed for us, and everyone who will help us win the MRI by voting online!

BL-aaaaahhhhhhhh-G

It's been so long, too long, way too long since I've typed to ya. so where ever to begin.

Nutshell, first and foremost ive had teeth probs! Its kind of embaressing for me to talk about it actually. Its bad enough that I live in Georgia and my nickname is Bubba, but having teeth pulled is getting to "rednecky" even for me! My problem is that I hate dentist so much, as soon as I was old enough to say no to my parents I stopped going to them. So I ended up with 2 cracked teeth, and migrains that were killing me. I was popping Tylenol 3 like no tomorrow, and some stronger stuff that basically left me in a fog. Anyway, I go in to have X-Rays and I get scheduled for extractions and I go in, he pulls one and says the other looks good, and can be saved. Great Doc, but the damn thing is still hurting like a bitch! So, I now have a root canal to look forward to in a week, and Ive went throught 2 prescriptions of T3. Bastards...

Got a new Puppy. His name was Jaz, but we renamed him to Wilson because he will not do anything unless he has his Wilson tennis ball with him. Also kinda plays off of the Tom Hanks character in Castaway. He is a great puupy, still miss Wendall though...


What else is new? Hmm, see this is why I dont Blog, I sit here and wonder what to say! Oh something that I'm excited about is Collective Soul's new CD coming out soon for you all to enjoy. I've found it to download, but I will definatly buy it for my collection, I love the group. I wasnt as impressed with this CD as the last few, but I still love it. I think maybe it will grow on me, and there certainly isnt any bad tracks. Speaking of music, Ive ran across a new group, WhiteStarr. They have a new series on VH1, and I kindve like their sound. Check them out at Myspace.

Theory Of A Deadman

Friday is when you left me
So I'll drink myself to sleep
And Sunday is when I'll wake up
Not to remember a thing

My friends all say the same thing
I don't know my new girl too well
I know
That all this lying gets to me
And no one seems to give a shit
The way
She talks to every guy in the bar
I guess
It should've raised some kind of alarm
Who'd ever think I'd go in and doubt?
Like all the other guys that you've gone and fucked

Well it ain't no surprise
That you turn me on and leave
It ain't no surprise
That you turn it around on me
I don't know why
You won't give me what I need
It ain't no surprise
That that bitch is leavin' me

My friends are mean to me
They say I don't break up too well
They know
All this crying gets to me
And no one seems to give a shit
Well I know you want to
So go on and say it
Just go on and say it
Just go on and say it

Well it ain't no surprise
That you turn me on and leave
It ain't no surprise
That you turn it around on me
I don't know why
You won't give me what I need
It ain't no surprise
That that bitch is leavin' me
Leavin' me

Friday is when you left me
So I drank myself to sleep
And Sunday I never woke up

Well it ain't no surprise
That you turn me on and leave
It ain't no surprise
That you turn it around on me
I don't know why
You won't give me what I need
It ain't no surprise
That that bitch is leavin' me
That that bitch is leavin' me

Happenings...

No rain. It’s so dry here. The largest marsh/swamp in the USA is burning several hundred miles south of us and it looks like fog here the smoke is so thick some days. I don’t remember the last day it rained. Gas is now over $3 a gallon and we can't water the lawn. Makes you really wonder about the whole global warming thing.

Memorial Day went by with no hitches. We grilled out at my parent’s house, and my Mom made her famous banana pudding. You know the hot kind with the meringue on top, and the real vanilla wafers. If you’ve never had it, you just have no idea. Of course I am very passionate about a lot of my southern heritage foods. When I discuss them with some northerners they either make a funny face or laugh. I had no clue people didn’t know what pineapple or banana sandwiches were. Or that tea was served any way other than with ice and sugar. Or for that matter, anyone thinking that fruits such as watermelons, plums, blackberries, muscadines, or scupnons could be grown anywhere other than South Georgia. Not only can you cook with them, make jellies, jams and sauces, each and every one of them make terrific wine. Oh well, we can have a southern food discussion another time I guess.

Time is just marching by. My exchange student will be going home soon, the freedom of the whole house back will be very nice, but having somebody asks me: “Bubba, do you dance like you fuck” will be greatly missed. I know I’ve taught him too many bad habits. I hope a lot of kids in Germany are prepared to hear “sick bastard” on more than one occasion when he gets home. He is a good kid, and I’m sure he will remember his time here, who wouldn’t benefit from living 2 years with me! I’m thinking next exchange student is a continuing ed. milf from France!

Dirt roads; I saw one the other day and it reminded me of college days and parties down them. Its funny, your parents said, oh we had to walk to school! Now I say, well we didn’t have cell phones back then, you had to ride around to find everyone, not text them! I’m just glad gas wasn’t $3 a gallon back then!!!

Ciao

How Do You Love?

There once was love thrown into your room
But you never knew
A calendar of days just for you
But you never knew, never knew no
And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide

So how do you love, how do you love
When your angels can't sing, and your world is still
Lacking of me

There once were eyes that only saw you
But you never knew
A portrait of a flower in full bloom
But you never knew, never knew no
And the words that you fear will always be
The words you hear

This space where you've been living
Has gifts you've never given
That's the face you always show
Ask me for words of wisdom
Tell me of your condition
I don't know, I don't
I don't know

And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide...

I Just Suck

  • I can never say the right thing at the right time. I saw an old friend Sunday, her Mother has been placed in a nursing home since the last time I spoke with her, and she's had a sever stroke. I'm very concerned about how my friend and her Mother are doing, but I lack the "talent" to put it in words at the time. I say something stupid about I'm sure your Mother knows your there for her. After I leave I think of a lot of better things to say. Just today somebody at work was asking me why sectors on hard drives go bad. It actually made me speechless for a second, because Ive never really thought about why they go bad, I just know they do. I just suck.
  • I forget everything. I forget phone numbers, dates, appointments, everything really. A close friend of mine told me all I needed to do was to write down these things on a notepad. I would have pencils and paper lost everywhere in that event. I'm thinking of starting to use Outlook or something to try and help. Ive been really embarrassed on so many occasions for forgetting friends birthdays. I was talking to a friend just yesterday and she was telling me we were born on the same date and told me my birthday without hesitation. That really amazes me. I like to say its because I smoked dope when I was in college, and several years after college, but I didn't smoke that much. I just suck.
  • I really want to begin a diet. I want to eat organic foods and drink water. I want to exercise and lift weights. I have grand plans of turning the exchange students room into a workout room when he leaves. Will it happen? I hope so because I'm not getting any younger. I hope so because my daughter needs a strong role model. I hope so because my health is more important than my looks. And lastly I hope so because writing this down may make me actually do it. I'm just a little scared though, because mostly I just suck...

Sister Hazel - Your Winter

The grey ceiling on the earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth
I've been acting like a child
Your opinion, what is that?
Just a different point of view

What else, what else can I do?
I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry , but what for?
If I hurt you then I hate myself
I don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you
Why do you choose your pain?
If you only know how much I love you, love you

I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
And I will be here

The old picture on the shelf
Well it's been there for a while
A frozen image of ourselves
We are acting like a child
Innocent and in a trance
A dance that lasted for a while

You read my eyes just like your diary,
oh remember, please remember
Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more
If I hurt you, then I hate myself,
I don't wanna hate myself, don't wanna hurt you
Why do you choose that pain?
If you only knew how much I love you, no

I won't be your winter
I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
We can be forgiven
And I will be here

Scream so loud,

you want me to stay
but I got to make my way

You’re so fine,

Damn, Kelly Clarkson is sexy....

Ya, its been a while, time to bitch....

  • Tornados. I never realized how much I didn't like them till I was a block away from one!
  • Sour candy, who is the dumb ass who invented it, and why do people like it?
  • Sand cracks; If you've never had one, you have no idea what your missing, OUCH
  • Britney Spears, ya I like some of her music, but I'm tired of the drama already. Also, I don't think shes sexy, and I hate women thinking I'm lieing when I say that.
  • Bills! I'm beginning to figure out that they are never ending!!
  • My wife never buys me things to drink when she shops. All I ever ask for is something to drink from the store; coke, punch, Gatorade, milk, tea, water I don't give a damn, anything, just buy something to drink! And after you buy it, don't open something take a sip and sit it down on the counter and leave it! ARGH!!!!!!
  • Cleaning toilets. Its time and I don't want to. There has to be a better way. And how do you get rid of those brown water stains around the water line? What a pain in the ass.
  • Kat Von D. I loved her, then she went and acted like a bitch to Paul Sr., OK ma'am you are now officially off my myspace friends list, lol....
  • Draft beer. Ive been craving it for a while and here is the dilemma; I love it ice cold, but its only cool by the last mug out of the pitcher, hmmm, gotta drink faster I suppose.

More to come I'm sure.

Fallen

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those
I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Time Marches On...

Not in a particularly talkative mood, but several things have happened and I thought I would share. Not that they need to be numbered, but I will bullet them to keep my chain of thought focused.
  • Leaving work yesterday I noticed a elderly lady pushing a shopping cart. I could tell that it was very painful for her to walk, just by the steps she was taking. I had a sudden rush of sympathy for her as I drove by and immediately felt guilty for not stopping. I circled the block and came back and talked to her. I asked her if she would like a ride home, and a little help with her bags, and I saw from the look in her eyes that she was thankful that someone offered. She declined and said she was almost home. I thought about that for several hours afterwards. The lady reminded me so much of my grandmother, and I missed her just seeing this little old lady pushing the cart. So many thoughts flood my head just thinking back. I also wondered if I was being selfish by going back, knowing it may just be so I wouldn't feel guilty and not truly doing someone else a good deed. Well, at any rate, I do feel better for offering, and I hope I lifted the little old ladies spirits enough to make it the next block or two to her house...
  • “A friend is someone who, upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.” - Unknown
  • I want to go camping. It sounds dumb, and its not the time of year you do things like that, but it just struck me tonight that I haven't done it in a while, and I would like to.
  • I am now 44, almost 45. I had an eye check-up today and am now going to get a "progressive" pair of glasses. It seems that I am having problems reading small type very close, and my job requires that. It makes me wonder about life and the aging process when anything like this happens. I am told that I am still young, by my parents and other adults in their 60's and 70's. I wonder if I will look back and think, damn I should have done this or that. I'm sure I will if I am fortunate enough to live another 20 years, wish me luck.
  • Ive read that my leopard gecko may be able to love 10-15 years. Shit, I guess I need to modify my will!
  • Why don't you try getting jacked off under the table in front of the whole damn family and have some real problems, jackass. Hey, what were they like anyway? They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or comfort? What'd you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat? - You motorboatin son of a bitch!
  • I think Dita Von Tease is HOT (without the Manson escort)! I also think Wifey of Wifey's World is pretty damn hot too. For my birthday a subscription to this site would be nice!

Goodnight!
