My Everyday Life

I'm back.

2011-11-05T20:55:00.000-04:00

Well guys I know it's been a long time since I've posted any new material on the website but I'm back. We haven't had internet for awhile because of the economy but things are looking up now so I bought a new android tablet to do all my editing on and I love it.

I had a hard time getting used to the keyboard at first. So I downloaded several alternative keyboards from the android market and I hated them all. Then I tried the swype keyboard (which I didn't really like at first). After playing with this thing for awhile I noticed how much easier it can be. Whoever invented the swype keyboard is a genius.

I also like the voice input option or ”speech to text”. It reminds me old PC program called Dragon Naturally Speaking.

Anyways, this is the first post from my new tablet and I hope to make many more soon. Wish me luck.

Daily Idiot Sightings

2009-05-23T02:09:00.003-04:00

Wow my Mom sent me this in an email and I thought it was funny because I have experienced this phenomenon quite frequently. It's kind of like a byproduct of living in Ocala. It's probable that many of you have confronted similar people in your lifetime so I'm sure you can relate. :-)

Be Careful Out There:

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two..'

We haven't used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you gave me too much money..' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change..

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's..

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

From Kingman , KS .

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE :
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had ice burg lettuce.
From Kansas City

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded,
'That's why we ask..'

Happened in Birmingham , Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING :
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'

She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

IDIOT SIGHTING :
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing. ' Our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the- headlights stare.

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less...

IDIOT SIGHTING

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us... and the scary part is that they

The Perils Of Pizza Delivery Driver

2009-01-12T18:42:00.000-05:00

First off I'd like to say that if you have ever ordered pizza delivery in your life then you need to visit this website http://tipthepizzaguy.com/

Does the pizza guy deserve a tip like your waiter or waitress? Sure they do! They deserve even more of a tip if you ask me.

We have to work on our own cars, we pay outrageous prices for gas, , we risk our life for 20 - 30 hours a week driving next to crazy drivers who don't pay attention or even know where they're going, we venture into dangerous parts of town late at night and WE have families to feed too.

The truth is Drivers perform a dangerous service by bringing dinner to your door. They take on financial costs and difficulties, more than most people realize. Pizza delivery is considered a hazardous job by the US government. They are third most likely to be murdered on the job, right after police officer and taxi driver.

Check this article out about how a Pizza Hut employee got FIRED for protecting himself from a robber / potential murderer:

Pizza Hut Does Not Value Life
By Dave Gibson (06/28/04)

Last month, a Pizza Hut deliveryman Ronald Honeycutt foiled a robbery attempt. When his assailant pointed a 9mm handgun at him, the deliveryman shot and killed him. The next day, Pizza Hut fired Honeycutt.

Around 11p.m. on May 17, 2004 Honeycutt had just made a delivery in a very rough part of Indianapolis. He walked back to his van, where he was approached by Jerome Brown-Dancler. The would-be robber aimed his gun at Honeycutt, at which time he drew his own 9mm and squeezed off the entire clip. After Brown-Dancler fell, Honeycutt picked up the assailant's weapon and drove back to the Pizza Hut. Upon his arrival, he instructed a manager to phone police.

Honeycutt has a concealed weapons permit, and claims to have carried a handgun for every one of the last twenty years that he has been delivering pizzas. Indianapolis prosecutors quickly cleared him of any charges. Deputy Prosecutor Barb Crawford said: "He did what the law allows him to do to protect himself." Crawford went on to say: "This was late at night. This was a high-crime area. He (Honeycutt) left because he wasn't sure whether or not Brown-Dancler had any friends with. As it turns out, he did indeed have friends with him. They left when they heard shots fired."

It is obvious that Ronald Honeycutt acted in self-defense and was clearly within his rights to do so. It is also obvious that had he not been carrying a weapon--he could have easily been killed. He is with his family today, as a result of his constitutional right to keep and bear arms. However, Pizza Hut apparently would rather have their employees gunned down, than allow them to defend themselves.

Pizza delivery personnel are a favorite target of armed robbers. They are alone, in a strange neighborhood, they are carrying at least a small amount of cash, and they are probably not armed. In short, they are extremely vulnerable and more than likely, not present a challenge to the assailant. Pizza Hut even goes so far as to announce that their employees are not allowed to carry weapons...This action basically places a target squarely upon the backs of their delivery drivers.

Honeycutt's dismissal has not gone un-noticed by Indianapolis residents. Pizza Hut has reportedly received many complaints and business is down.

Indianapolis attorney Rick Whitham told World Net Daily: " I hope that those of you in the media will realize the incredible unfairness of a huge company telling it's employees--in essence--they must agree to die for the company, rather than use legal, reasonable means to defend themselves." He went on to describe Pizza Hut's actions as "clear discrimination against those who choose to lawfully exercise a legal, heavily regulated right."

Whitham also wrote to Pizza Hut, saying: "I don't spend my money with businesses that openly discriminate against people such as myself who understand that the police have no affirmative duty to protect any particular citizen and that no company is worth dying for--particularly yours."

Well said Mr. Whitham!

I am not aware of any law that allows the United States Constitution to be suspended, upon one's acceptance by any employer. I imagine that Pizza Hut has chosen to 'ban' their employees from arming themselves because of insurance reasons. Or perhaps, Pizza Hut has deemed it politically-incorrect for an employee to defend his or herself. To date, they have given no reason for their seemingly ridiculous decision.

According to the National Rifle Association, firearms are used over two million times a year for personal protection. The fact is that armed citizens prevent crime. Period.

Personally, as long as I am alive--I will choose to defend myself and my family. Every American citizen has that same right. Furthermore, I will also choose not to spend another cent of my hard-earned money at Pizza Hut. Anyone who values innocent life as well as the wishes of our founding fathers...Will do the same.

For more info about what kind of crap the pizza guy goes through just so you can insult him by not giving him a decent tip go read this website: http://tipthepizzaguy.com/

They even have a tip calculator so you will know how much to give for a gratuity.

Thanks.

Cancer Research Study From John Hopkins University

2008-09-01T02:23:00.002-04:00

My friend Duniel sent me this in an email. This is important information for people to know so I am posting it here for everyone to see. If you are a webmaster please consider posting this at your site.

The Letter

EVERYONE WILL FIND THIS VERY INFORMATIVE. I ONLY WISH IT WAS AS EASY TO FOLLOW AS IT IS TO UNDERSTAND.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

A. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. Are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

C. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

D. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

OMG It's Almost September Already????

2008-08-30T06:43:00.002-04:00

Wow. Ok I'm done wasting my life playing Star Wars. LoL :-). Actually I haven't played in a couple of months. I always get bored with MMORPG games before I finish leveling. I guess I have ADD or something.

Time to cancel? :-) Ehhhh its just a game.

Where the hell is Bill?

2008-06-14T05:11:00.002-04:00

Well I must be the lamest blogger ever. I haven't posted here in four months!

So I guess some people are wondering what the heck happened to me. (or not)

I've been playing MMORPG's!

It started with Pirates Of The Caribbean Online. I played for about a month and finally upgraded to paid and played for another month and got bored with it. Then I got to searching for other MMORPG's and found Star Wars Galaxies so now I'm addicted to Star Wars.

I've been playing SWG for about 2 months now and I have a lvl 65 Jedi and a lvl 25 Engineer. The game is so addictive that I haven't done ANYTHING on the computer except play for 2 months straight! I haven't even updated my computer site, haven't made (or sold) any jewelry, haven't made any new video's, nothing!

These games should be illegal! It's more addictive than drugs! But it's better because it keeps me safe at home where I can't spend any money except 15 bucks a month for access. :-)

Anyway if your into Star Wars go check it out. http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/

It's a whole lot of good clean fun and the people are awesome.

I am on the Chilastra server and my Characters name is Sumok if you're interested in coming over and checking it out.

Wow someone posted to cbox! And Deathclock Rules! Tick Tock, Tick Tock ,Tick Tock!!

2008-02-04T06:57:00.001-05:00

I am shocked and amazed! Someones actually posted a message to my cbox. Insane! It's the widget labeled SHOUTBOX in the right hand sidebars. I don't think anyones but me has posted to dat things in months.

Cheer ups though! There's somethings cool going ons.

A New Metalocalypse Episode! Are you into sick, twisted, funny cartoons? Do you watch adult swim? Well I usually work till like 3 in the morning so I do watch it. It's about the only thing on at that hour and I found the sickest, rockinest, bloodiest, stupidest, funniest show EVER. My wife likes to watch it too.

It's Metalocalypse! Yea! I'm sure you've heard of it and we've been watching it every since it came on adult swim.

Deathclock is the brutalest and coolest sounding metal band ever! I didn't really realized this untils I hooked up my big stereos amp to my TV the other days. The theme song cames on and I was like "Oh mans! Dat sounds really really good! Oh yea!"

I loves da way dey talks too! Man it is so funny listening to them have a conversation. They talk like stupid idots (hmm kind of like the way me and my friends used to talk in high school LoL :-) and it's so funny because they say the stupidest thing in the stupidest way possible. You might have noticed my typo's earlier in the post well they kind of talk like that. If you don't know you need to go watch the show and laugh your ass off with us.

They have a link to the show and some behind the scenes stuff and a bit about how the show is created each week. They even have a guitar lesson about how to play the theme song. :-) The guys who create this are geniuses (and pretty good musicians too). I am so impressed by the way they recorded the music for this show I'm thinking about getting the CD. It sounds so good on my 350 watt stereo. As good or better than most artist recordings today. They must either have a heck of an awesome studio or they hired someone that does.

Anyways if you're a fan of death metal this is the ultimate show.

There's no schedule posted that I can see. All I can tell you is to watch Adult Swim and try to catch the schedule.

How Was Your Holiday?

2008-01-08T23:19:00.000-05:00

I hope everybody had a nice holiday, enjoyed some time off, got what they wanted for Christmas and followed through with their new years resolutions so far this year.

We had a good holiday season this year. It was a little more festive than usual (mostly because we got new Christmas decorations) and we had a great time. I got everything I wanted for Christmas. All I really wanted was for everyone to have a nice time but I got some cool stuff too.

Let's see, besides new domains I got a new game controller for my laptop, 2 pair of nice cargo pants, an awesome fuzzy soft bathrobe, some cool 3D guitar picks, a case of lightscribe DVD's, a new wedding ring (mine got lost/stolen awhile ago), a stocking full of candy, and something else that I didn't ask for and was definitely not expecting. I got the flu Christmas day and have been sick for about 3 weeks. It's going away now but I can't seem to fully regain my voice yet.

Over all it was a wonderful Christmas this year except that I didn't get to go see my Mom. I still have her present here under the tree. :-( I called her and she said she might catch what I have and nobody wants that whatever it was I promise, so we didn't go visit yet. This cold really sucked. I think this was the sickest I've been since I was a little kid. I'm glad it's over, Yay!

Even though I've been sick Shirley and I have still been working really hard on our new project. We bought a bunch of new Jewelry making tools and supplies along with some sterling silver wire and solder and we plan to start selling our Jewelry creations on eBay soon and via website eventually.

We still have a lot of work to do. I have to build up a good seller rep on eBay so I've been selling off some collectibles and garage sale stuff. We just received new supplies to finish some of our latest creations. We plan on having a few Jewelry items up on eBay before the end of this week. Probably mostly necklaces.

If you want to see what we have on eBay right now here is the link: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZfuse_box41

We've been working hard drawing up a business plan, coming up with shipping and returns policies, designing necklaces to stock our store with, practicing our silver smithing techniques, looking for suppliers, researching legalities and that means lot's and lot's of reading. Oh yea and spending money. It takes money to make money right?

I thought I wanted to start a business creating and editing video for small businesses but it's way more expensive than I had planned and dealing with clients is very tricky in the video business. There's also alot BS to deal with when it comes to production companies and broadcast companies. Broadcast companies will contact your client and talk them into getting rid of you and getting them to do the production claiming that they will develop a more professional presentation than an amateur ever could which is total BS. But it's happened to me twice and both times the broadcast company gave them boring, stuffy, lame ass material in place of my material which was catchy, upbeat, demands attention etc... Anyway I'm in no position to compete financially with those big companies, creatively maybe but financially no.

Plus it is a fact that I am an amateur with video production and it just seems more feasible for us to create a business making and selling quality hand crafted jewelry since we've got alot more experience and have had alot more practice doing that than just about anything else. The competition is also a bit less carnivorous. It's also something we can both do together so it just makes more sense business wise.

We both love making Jewelry too. It's so rewarding to make a beautiful new necklace and see someones reaction when you give it as a gift and they freak out when you tell them you made it by hand. :-)

What's really cool is that the video skills I've learned will definitely help us present our Jewelry items on the web and increase sales without having to hire someone to do it for us. So I'm glad we got the video equipment because we will get lots of use out of it.

Well I hope you guys had as good a holiday as I did and remember Valentines Day is coming up so don't forget about your sweety. :-)

Time Travelling Dreams

2007-12-12T10:32:00.000-05:00

I had a wierd dream last night. I think I've had it before. It's very strange and complicated but Im gonna try to write it down.

Well, first I dreamed about some rich guy named George Looney. I think I've had that one before too. anyways that ones not important. But I think the other one is important for some reason.

Here goes:

It starts out with me in the bathroom in this big nice building and an alarm sounds. Then I walk out into the hall and I'm walking down the hall, I have a bag in my hand with something important in it (don't know what it is). Well I hear the alarm and I start to run, then I see the security officers behind me so I stop because I dont wanna look suspicious running with the alarm on. Then I see this guy in front of me start to run like hell so I turn to the guard and tell him about the guy so they start to chase him.

Then I found out the building is gonna blow up so I run out the door. I dropped my bag in the front lawn and kept running to a safe distance and I turn around and this lady is running past my bag so I ask her to grab it for me so she does and she stops right where I am and we both get down and I say "cover your head the buildings gonna blow" so she does. Then we hear a large explosion and I feel the heat from the building blowing up.

After the explosion we get up and walk around a bit and there are ppl running around everywhere all confused so I turned to her and told her we needed to stay together and not get lost and she agrees. So we walk over to this place with iron gates and look over at the building and for some wierd reason the building is back to it's original state.

But when I looked closer I could see swirls of light and what looked like a heat signature coming from the top of the building and then parts of it kind of fade in and out of reality a little and I asked her if she saw it and she said yes. She said "Oh no! I can't believe this is happening again" and I said what? she said "the time warp thing! It's happening again" and Im like what the hell are you talking about Lady? and she says "this has been happening to me all my life. A building blows up and then poof! It's like it never happened. I have a baby and it's like poof it never happened. I lost five years of my life because of this shit and those assholes fucking with my head". and I said what assholes and she said "THEM! The ones who have the device." and I said what device and she said. "time travel isnt a physical reality they alter you brainwave patterns and it sets you in a different time for brief periods but sometimes you don't come out of it and sometimes you do". and I asked her "and this device you're talking about is that what causes it"? and she said "Yes, they point it at your brain from a long distance away and it changes your whole life forever."

The she pointed over to this iron fence with a gate and it's kind of attached to a building like a jail, you know to keep people out. And she said "You see those argoyles?" and I looked an there were these huge freaking gargoyles flying around inside peering out at us. She said that's part of the time dilation. We wouldn't be able to see those if we hadn't got hit with the radiation from that device. Then one of them got out and landed right in front of us showing his teeth and snarling so we ran the other way. I was scared.

Anyways I got lost while I was running and then I was walking down this sidewalk with shops and stuff next to it and I picked up this book off the sidewalk about time travel. Then I saw the girl again and she seemed kind of drunk. The funny thing is I knew what was going to happen from that moment on for some reason. I said "you found a bottle of brandy and drank it didnt you"? and she said "Yea how did you KNOW that"? and I said I don't know but I know what's going to happen next too and she said "what"? Then I told her that we would meet a man at the next shop that could help us out. So she followed me into the shop.

Well we walked in and there was this old man who owned the place and there was this dude sitting in a chair that looked like Brad Pitt and she asked me "is that him"? and I said no he's not here yet.

So the old man turned on the TV and what really struck me kinda funny was that the TV looked like an old 1940's model black and white and the shows were from a long long time ago like we were in the 1940's.

Anyways this guy dressed in all black came to the door so I opened it and he had pure black eyes, black all over, so I slammed the door in his face and he stuck his hand through the mail slot and I broke his finger. I bent it all the way backwards as far as it would go and he screamed like a girl and he finally retracted his hand. Then he stuck his hand in again and I did the same thing. This happened about 4 times, one for each finger and each time I snapped another one of his
fingers. Then we didnt hear anything for a few minutes and this guy shouted at us through the door and he said "let me in, I am the guy you have been waiting for." I knew it was him so I opened the door. As soon as he got inside he loooked at me and asked "where's the bag?" So I handed him the bag I was carrying and then he said "where's the book?" So I handed him the book I found on the sidewalk.

He pulled out whatever was in the bag and it was very odd looking. It had electronic circuits in the back of it and it looked like it had a tubular aluminum casing.

The casing had electrodes at one end and a coil of copper wire around the end of it near the electrodes and it had this wierd glass looking tubular ring encircling it attached by aluminum rods that came out of the main casing and they were inserted into the glass tubing. It looked like it had electrodes on the end of the rods too. Then he smashed the TV and took out some tubes and stuff from it and wired them up the the device and he hooked it to the power cord coming from the wall and it lit up like one of those lightening ball thingies they have at spencers.

He turned to me and said "We're only missing a couple things". and I said what the hell are you doing? He said "I'm gonna give them a taste of their own medicine all we need is some plutonium for portable power and a rotating magnetic field so we can turn the energy into gravity waves. We also need a very large capacitor and some high power resistors so we can tune it to the frequency of the human brain and then we're all set".

So then I started asking him more questions. I asked him where he was from and what this was all about and he said he was from the year 2036 and that the army had learned how to manipulate time and space and their plan was to come back to the past and make it where they had more control over the people at an earlier period so that the technology would be in their hands only because the man who invented the device was ME and I had released the plans to elite group of friends who formed an orginization and had devised a code of ethics for the use of the technology and devised a plan to keep the information from the government at all costs so a paradox would not be created by careless ndividuals or our government.. He said that the government infilitrated our facilities by force and killed over half of the team. They stole the technology and started using it to travel back in time for their own evil purposes and accidentally created a paradox by trying to kill me in the explosion at that building that I was in. He said that reality had now been transformed into something not as solid as it used to be and that people who are affected by the paradox would see things fading in and out of reality and would lose their concept of time. (which was what seemed to be happening to me and this chick I was hanging out with).

So we left the room and started down the alleyway again. Then we went around a few corners and ended up in another alley. This alley had some sort of big ass chair looking thing in it and the guy told me to get in. So I got in and started doing the straps up and he handed me the device and told me to stick it in the slot to my right and grab ahold of the railings on the side of the chair. Then I remember the thing powering up and making a whole bunch of noise and lighting uo like christmas. It was doing something strange to my perception and I felt like something was wrong.

The rest of the dream gets kind of foggy from here. All I can remember is that we were on a mission to find some missing components that we needed and we knew there would be trouble along the way. And then the phone rang and woke me up.

Wierd huh?

Installing some stuff on my truck redneck style. Kinda funny

2007-11-23T00:51:00.000-05:00

I installed a Vector Maxx Power Inverter and an emergency brake release lever in my truck redneck style. Cause that's my style. LoL :-P

My Brain Won't Let me Sleep!!!!

2007-11-08T06:58:00.000-05:00

I hate this head of mine sometimes.

I get home from work about 2am, I lay down, and I start writing music in my brain and can't sleep.

I get up and play on the internet for awhile and write a post or a comment or two, then I go lay down and my brain starts contemplating the universe or I start thinking about robotics circuitry or some crazy shit.

I get up and finish writing a tip calculator program for work. I lay back down and I got spreadsheets in my brain for an hour.

I get back up, smoke a cigarette (which is what I DON'T wanna do) and start writing again. This happens to me EVERY FREAKING NIGHT! When will this be over? Suicide is not an option. Drinking warm milk doesn't help. Drugs do nothing but make it worse. It's hard to meditate when your freezing your ass off and your brain won't stop spiraling thoughts in and out of the front of your mind. What the hell am I supposed to do?

My wifes sleeping AND she's on her period.

The cat jumps on me just as I'm about to fall asleep.

At 7am when my brain is finally tired of doing it's spiraling thingy the neighbors have their co-workers honking their horns at them to get out of the house so they can get a ride to work! ACK!!

I need to start playing HALO or something. A good old fashioned slaughterfest might do me some good!

Or maybe I should get a job where I actually have to work hard and get tired?

Naaaa screw that! That's what I DON'T wanna do.

I'll just keep writing until I fall asleep on the keybfklf..jhk

I Am! (My Latest Video Concoction)

2007-11-02T14:13:00.000-04:00

Oh yea, about the filming of "For Kevin's Sake"

2007-10-20T05:28:00.000-04:00

Well filming was cancelled last weekend. So I guess it is scheduled for this weekend at the same time.

Busy... busy ...

Goodnite, errrr I mean morning, uhhhhm afternoon? Because that's when you'll probably be reading this, but it's like 5:30 in the morning here right now so I'm going to bed.

But first I will leave you this bit of wisdom that hit me today:

It is more important to remember the lesson than the teacher.

Ooops, my bad

2007-10-20T04:25:00.000-04:00

It's Ulead Video Studio that's ninety nine bucks not Ulead Media Studio. I downloaded it and I'm checking it out now. It looks like it will do everything I need. Nice program.

Busy, Busy, Busy, AND I got a cool laptop.

2007-10-20T03:21:00.000-04:00

Been really busy lately so no posts recently sorry. I worked 7 days this week.

I did some welding yesterday which I haven't done for awhile. I thought I was going to be using a MIG welder but when I got there at 7:30am I found out I was going to have to use a stick welder.

I thought: Wow! I haven't used a stick welder since I helped my Dad weld some metal to his car about 3 years ago and it was kinda hard. So I was a little worried but it went ok.

We had to weld an eight stall prefab barn together. It was pretty easy except for the bending down and getting on my knees part.

I worked in a muffler shop where I learned how to weld and fabricate custom exhaust systems for about 4 years then I went to work in a production shop welding together structural parts for customized vans where I worked for about 5 years. Then the van company folded and I started delivering pizza. It's kind of ironic how I make just as much delivering pizza as I did welding.

Whatever it takes.

On a lighter note, I bought a new computer flat out. Haven't done THAT in awhile. I usually upgrade my old P.O.S. to the hilt and then end up having to buy a new barebones system to get the next generation of computer architecture and then buy upgrade parts for it. But I haven't done THAT in awhile either. So I decided that this time I needed to get a decent laptop with the latest new architecture. It was a hard decision considering my situation but my old computer is, well, OLD. and when I create music and video it renders really slow.

Sometimes I think it might have been a mistake to buy this but I plan to create music and video's for the rest of my life so it would be done sooner or later. I chose now.

The more I learn the more opportunies arise and the closer I am to realizing my dreams. The service industry is ok and I like it but I want to work with computers, write and create music and video. So that's what I'm gonna do.

It's an HP dv9000 AMD 64x2, 1.8 GHZ, 160 GB HDD, 2 gigs RAM, Dual Layer DVD burner with lightscribe, Windows Vista Basic, 17" monitor, GeForce Go 6150 Graphics, Built in Webcam and mic, Built in Wireless LAN, Built in multi card reader, every freakin port you could imagine for home and small office use, and it's a laptop! So I'm kinda happy with it.

Now I'm gonna go research Ulead Media Studio 11 and decide whether I wanna buy it or not.

I used to own Ulead media studio 5 and a special Rainbow Runner video card that did Mpeg 1 video back like 10 years ago when MPEG 1 first came out. It doesn't work with newer computers so I cant use it now.

Here's the ironic part: I have Ulead Media Studio 5 but Ulead only offers upgrades for UMS 6 and later! Too sucky.

But there IS good news. Last year Ulead Media Studio was two hundred dollars. Today it is only ninety nine bucks. So I'm going to go search for reviews on it and decide whether I want to buy it or something else.

If anyone has experience with UMS please post a comment.

I've Been Commissioned To Act In A Movie.

2007-10-03T00:50:00.000-04:00

I've agreed to act in a new comedy film by Erica (Keeka) Kane.

This is going to be pretty strange for me. I haven't done anything like this since the elemenary school Robin Hood play. LoL :-P

I read through most of the script today and I caught myself laughing out loud several times it's very funny. I am honored that Erica asked me to be in one of her films even if it is for free.

I'm not too sure about my acting skills though since I only have about 2 weeks to practice. And they're probably gonna have to use alot of makeup on me. LoL :-P

The part I have to play is very short but interesting and funny. It is a setup for one of the major jokes throughout the movie.

All I can tell you about my character is that he has to bust out crying and then he chokes on a mini pretzel. LoL This is gonna be fun.

Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.

Okay time for an update.

2007-09-26T04:12:00.000-04:00

Well, I lost my former, ahem, job, if you can call it that and I got a new one the very same day! HA! So there! Anyways, it's a job. But enough about the boring stuff.

I got a new camera! It's a wireless spycam with a 4 channel receiver. So now I can order more cams and make a nice little security system.

I didn't get it to be used as a security system at all though. I got it so I could make a "hat cam" and record stuff like me fixing electronics. I was thinking about starting to build bots again and work on some other things I have yet to finish. I was thinking about maybe documenting some of it on video for the web. Not sure when that is going to be yet though.

I really want one for my F27 Stryker. It would be cool to fly it via the camera. It'd be like flying from the cockpit. Awesome! I can't do that yet though. The 1 mile transmitters are WAY too expensive for me right now until I can get settled with my new job and new truck and everything. Plus I need to get Shirley a car. I need a new computer (this one's old). That'll set us back a couple months. We're also trying to have a baby. That'll prolly set us back a couple dozen years. LoL :-) But we both want a boy. Wish us luck!

So I got a new job and I got a new camera. Sweet! Things are looking pretty good right now. I also pulled 2 checks from linkshare this month. Sales are going up. I was shocked. I sold like almost 3 thousand dollars worth of merchandise in the past 2 months using these blogs.
Computers Killer Deals Gadgets

By the way there are some pretty good deals going on right now, you should check them out. I bought 3 items from my distributors just this week. One was the wireless video camera for 60 bucks and I had to get a new HD and a DVD burner for my home computer (this one). The 320 GB HD was $89.99 and I got the DVD burner for 20 bucks which is a killer price.

For some reason my sidebar content is out of whack on the blogs though. I'm thinking it's the third party servers they are hosted on. I will give them a couple days and if they aren't fixed I will change the content. The deals are still there. I just posted some more today. Some of them will expire soon though.

Just about a month before Christmas time there should be some really good deals on computers and electronics stuff on the blogs. The best time of year to shop though is probably right AFTER Christmas.

For anyone who doesn't know what linkshare is it's a free affiliate network like Commission Junction or Amazon.com. You join linkshare for free and they hook you up with merchants that let you advertise their product on your website. Then they pay linkshare a commission and in turn linkshare pays you a comission. You can actually make some money this way if you set things up right. If you're interested in joining linkshare for free click here.

Okay I don't mean to sound like a salesman but I made some money this month and sales seem to be going up so I'm kind of excited and I just wanted to tell you guys about linkshare and the cool little checks they send me.

It's nice to get a check in the mail a couple of times a month for doing something you love to do anyway (like blogging).

So that's what's been happening in my life lately. I like my new job and we have some pretty good plans for the future. Everything looks pretty good.

I'll probably post a short video of some stuff I captured on my aiptek camera this week if I get time. Maybe thursday since I'm off work that day.

Ya'll be good

The Brighter Side Of Life.

2007-09-19T07:21:00.001-04:00

Well life sucks sometimes... (virus alert!)

2007-09-12T13:01:00.000-04:00

...and things happen that we didn't expect or that we weren't prepared for. I got a virus the other day after 5 years of being totally clean.

I got it by downloading what I thought was a codec to play a video. I downloaded the file "Video Access Codec v1.4" from a site I thought had a video of some information I was looking for. After it installed it did actually play the video (which turned out to be porn by the way!) It also installed the trojan "trojan.w32.looksky".

So this thing installs a virus through a working video codec then it puts links on your desktop to paid programs that remove trojans and viruses! It also pops up windows with links to the programs about every 30 freakin seconds without you even having to be online! So avoid this at all costs. It's not easy to remove and I think the cleaner program messed up my windows.

I finally got my hard drive cleaned. So I am virus free now but some parts of Windows XP aren't working like the device manager and some other tools so it looks like I'm going to have to re-install everything! Aaaaaaack!!! I've got like 30 or 40 programs and utilities so this might take awhile :-) I'm just kind of glad all my Data is ok.

How To Deter Burglars From Breaking Into Your Home At Night

2007-09-06T07:43:00.000-04:00

My friend Duniel sent me this in an email. She has had some trouble lately with prowlers

If you have a car alarm put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.

Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away,think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain.

It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around.... after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

And, remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there..... This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic.Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.

The New Strange And Cool is Done!

2007-09-03T20:26:00.000-04:00

The new Strange And Cool site is finally finished!

The new site is powered by WordPress and has a totally new look and feel. It's hosted on it's own domain and the feed has been redirected so nobody has to re-subscribe. There is even a new comments feed on the site for anyone interested.

I will be selecting my favorite posts from the old Strange And Cool at blogger and posting one each day along with regularly scheduled posts onto the new site for awhile.

From here on out I am going to try and stay away from just posting links to news and other blog posts. If I do need to post links to news or other posts I will most likely write a review and summary of the material before linking to it in order to increase the readability and value of my posts. Sources of information and news will be mentioned and linked to in the summary.

I hope you guys like the new blog. I worked really hard on it for the past week and I think WordPress is awesome. I'm really impressed with the look and functionality of it.

My Blogroll is already transferred over to the new site so anyone who has me in their blogroll please update your links to http://strangeandcool.net/ when you have time.

I may send you a message in a week to remind you if that's okay. :-)

Have fun!

I've Discovered How To Install Wordpress On My Domain.

2007-09-01T03:11:00.000-04:00

So I made a little money, bought a couple of domain names yesterday, downloaded Wordpress and to my surprize it was pretty easy to install on my host.

So now I have another addiction. :-)

The hard part is trying to find a template that I like and what's even harder is editing the templates to customize the site the way I want it. Word press theme's are made entirely with stylesheets so I guess I have to learn how to edit CSS now because the images, fonts and colors on the templates I like are all wrong.

This is going to take some time to learn. I already learned a little last night just by playing around with the tags. Everyone writes stylesheets so differently from each other that it's hard to figure out just what the heck is going on.

I've done quite a bit of html which I thought would help, but stylesheets are so totally different from html that I'm going to have to re-learn everything I thought I knew about coding for the web.

I know I'm probably way behind the times here. I've been editing html for over 6 years and here I am JUST NOW learning how to edit stylesheets, but I better do it because stylesheets make content management super easy. Once you get your stylesheets set up then all you have to do is write your pages and your posts. Awesome!

So I may not be posting as much here and on Strange And Cool in the near future. I will post as much as I can while I work on the other sites though, and all my updates on this new little project will be posted here.

I may ask my subscribers and link buddies to update their RSS links and blogroll links to point to the new site if you guys don't mind. I really hate to do that but I feel like I need to establish my blog on a real hosted domain instead of at blogger. What if blogger bites the dust one day or decides to sell out? All my content is gone. eeek!

At least I know that if I have my blog on my own domain I won't lose my content. :-) Not that I have any super valuable content or anything but It's mine, I worked hard to write it, and I'd like to keep it. :-) Besides, I usually look back on old content after about 2 months to help me learn about my own mistakes. I need it so I can improve on my writing.

If any of you guys have done this before or have any suggestions or advice for me about this I'd surely appreciate it.

And to all the great friends I've made in the past couple of months I'd like to say thank you and that all of you guys are awesome! Everyone's links will be ported over to the new site and I will contact you as soon as the move happens.

After I get the Wordpress blog set up I may upgrade the hosting account and build a community site on the domain. Not sure of a good community theme to go along with Strange And Cool yet though. Got any ideas?

Well that's it for now.
Thanks everyone!

Bill

P.S. If you would like to keep tabs on the new site, it's at http://strangeandcool.net
Theme's and layouts will probably change daily till I find one I like. There's a billion of them. :-)

We went to the Premier of "Sins Of The Flesh" last night and we got pics.

2007-08-30T03:39:00.000-04:00

My wife and I went to the premeir of the local indie movie "Sins Of The Flesh" by Erica Kane yesterday and it was pretty amazing. The movie was way better than I expected coming from Ocala but that might be because I'm from here and I don't have very high expectations for this town from what I've seen in the past. I got proven wrong :-) Erica really did a great job on this movie.

We had a great time. We met the cast and got autographs and everybody was really nice. The cast were pickin on each other a little during the film and joking around. It was great.

Then we took pictures and got drunk and ... click here to view my post about the premier with pictures, at the official "Sins Of The Flesh" blog

I'm obsessed with blogging widgets!!!

2007-08-26T17:45:00.001-04:00

Someone please help me I have apparently become obsessed with blogging widgets and now I'm confused! Please take these things away from me before I lose an eye!

Does anyone know how many of these things is too much? Has anyone written anything about "widget etiquette" or "how to kick your widget addiction" or anything like that?

I need help. If anyone can answer these questions I'd be willing show my eternal gratefulness by putting your link in my blogroll on this blog and on the Internet Marketing Resource Guide.

What are the most important widgets to place at the top of your blog?

Where should I put my communities and directories widgets?

Does anyone ever get any enjoyment out of the widgetmate news widget or should I trash it?

Do you think This Setup is cool? Is it too cluttered? And if so, then what should I remove?

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for commenting.

Testing my new Aiptek 480p camcorder / media player

2007-08-23T05:00:00.000-04:00

I got a new Aiptek Mpeg4 camcorder/voice recorder/media player/8mpx digital camera yesterday. So I tested it today and it's pretty cool. It does D1(720x480) Mpeg-4 Video at 30fps, has a built in mp3 player, a voice recorder and an 8 megapixel digital camera with a flash and 4x digital zoom. It takes up to a 4 meg memory card. I only got the 2 meg one and I can do 80 minutes of full D1 quality video. It's pretty awesome.

What the heck does this mean?

2007-08-23T03:21:00.000-04:00

I saw this on the back of a lawn service trailer today.

I don't get this.

Do they mean "public" schools? And how is schooling ever "child abuse"?

I know it seems like public schools don't do a very good job sometimes. And that may be because of lack of government funding, but I just don't understand why they are associating that with child abuse.

I had to fix my '94 Chevy S10 today so I documented it. :-P

2007-08-23T03:10:00.000-04:00

This is a video documentary of me replacing the upper radiator hose on my '94 Chevy s10.

I got a cool new little camcorder and I've been testing it out today. :-)

It's actually pretty interesting (at least I hope you'll find it interesting). Plus you'll get to meet my fiesty old grandma which is kinda funny. :-)

I did a black title intro so it might look like nothing is there so just scroll down and click play for it to load.

I will be writing about my last Salvia experience soon.

2007-08-23T02:19:00.000-04:00

I've been kinda busy but I'm planning on writing down my Salvia experience in as much detail as I can asap so for those of you who are interested please be patient. I'm also still trying to figure it all out if you know what I mean. :-)

In the mean time I have a video review of this cool little mpeg-4 camcorder/media player I just bought coming in the next post.

Plus I had to fix my truck today so I did a kind of mock up documentary about it using my new camcorder. I'll post it as soon as I get it uploaded. It's actually pretty interesting (at least I hope you'll find it interesting). Plus you'll get to meet my fiesty old grandma which is kinda funny. :-)

The Salvia Divinorum Experience Episode 03 : With commentary about the experience at the end.

2007-08-20T06:46:00.000-04:00

Bill Finally Jumps Through The Stargate For The First Time.

Well I took the leap. Went down the rabbit hole. Jumped through the stargate or whatever you wanna call it, and it was a pretty amazing experience to say the very least.

I went into this looking at it as a learning experience. It didn't hurt, my brain is still exactly like it was before I did it. Except I may be a little more enlightened because of it. And it didn't last very long. It WAS a bit scary when I started to come back though.

The video starts off with me taking Salvia and going into a pretty amazing trip. Then after I come down I explain most of what I can remember of my perceptions while being influenced by the plant. There's also lot's of interesting commentary and some info about Salvia etiquette that some of the younger people who are abusing Salvia should know.

I plan on writing about my experience in a little more detail pretty soon. But not tonight. It took me 4 hours to edit the video so I am going to go to bed and will probably write more about my experience in a day or so.

Meanwhile Enjoy The Video!

An Update On The Salvia Divinorum Experience with commentary afterwards.

2007-08-19T23:30:00.000-04:00

Ok, so I just went over to Brians and did Salvia the right way this time and oh what an experience it was. I caught it all on video and we have lot's of commentary to share with everyone with a few informative insights about the experience and our interpretaion of it.

It was a very enlightening experience to say the least and I hope to convey to you the most truth about it that I can from my point of view.

I am editing the video tonight. I will comment via text overlay in the vid as to what I was experiencing at that particular time in the vid. After the video I plan to write a short story explaining my experience as far as I can remember in order to help enlighten some people about what Salvia Divinorum is really meant for.

Stay Tuned!

And

This is Episode 2 of our little salvia experience at Brian's. He smoked twice and I caught it all on video. Mike's experience was kind of uneventful. He kind of just turned inward and had his own private experience so I didn't edit that into the sequence. Enjoy!

After seeing the movie and writing about it I started researching it on the web and I found the video games for the movie for a bunch of platforms on Amazon.com

I have an old Xbox but I plan on upgrading to an xbox 360 as soon as they get all the bugs worked out and I'll definately be buying a copy.

I searched for an Xbox version but it seems there isn't one so I'm putting the links up for all the platforms I COULD find so anyone who visits can get a copy if they want.

I'll be getting mine soon. Enjoy.
