happy fourth of july everyone

happy fourth of july you all. if you celebrate it as a holiday of history, the declaration of independence would be hung up somewhere. if you celebrate it with decor and dance, song and bling. one doesn't have to know much to enjoy the holiday of today. gaining independence is cause for celeb any time. any where. for any reason.

i thought that i could move over to facebook/twitter, and be done with the blog. but there's things about this blog that i can't capture in the blog, something that is intangible. it's more of an attitude than having anything 'inheritance. twitter has so much attitude, i'm almost afriad to post there sometimes. i spoze this blog has attitude, right?

i wish i could read this text. my eyes are blurry from the smoke. i've tried wetting down my mouth and throat, but to no success. i just have to keep the water around 24/7. i could put new lenses in, but then they'll jus get blurry like these. i would have to stop smoking to make the lenses last longer. i'm just glad there's that little bump on the f and j keys. ity's interesting to undersstand how the method of typing makes one prepare for life in much of the same. these are the right places for my fingers. i can feel it as i type. i don't need to read it. i just would like to read it. make sure that what i'm tyuping is what i'm saying. i could tryu dictation. but that means having a quiet ambience. i'm not ready for that yet.

the streets of san francisco was one, still is one, of my all time faves

RIP karl malden.

my thoughts on facebook

well, i've had a week's worth of facebook already. and i gotta tell ya, it was like i was on a trampolene. really. there were rushes, and then there was nothing. saturday night was a rush. sunday, thank god, was a nothing. some of us can't do them all nighters like we used to.

aint that right linda. and taffy.

because we're old enough to know better, regardless of whether we act better or not isn't the issue... but it's the fact that we should know better than to do some of the kind of crazy stuff ty has been into lately. and i'm only saying his name because he needs to know that there are consequences to his actions. he got really lucky lately. someone's watching over him, that's for sure.

and i'm sure it's not all one sided either. from what i hear, machaela will milk the thing if given the opportunity. and if it's in her best interest. but i'm glad he's going up to the cities. hopefully it'll jus be where he works a week under mark, and tunes everything else out, i think he can come back a more full person. if he can work for that grand, then more power to him. and i'm sure mark will keep an eye out for him too. so he's not doing what i did, and what many other kids do. thank god. but he's got a guardian angel around. i think his karma wheel is pertiner balanced by now.

but i'm still trying to get facebook's gui down. there's still a lot about facebook that i dont know, or haven't used yet. like that mafia thing. what the fuck is that all about? and

win7

i jus bought win7pro for $84+change. i had a $20 reward zone certificate that was going to expire so i had to spend it on something. might as well prepay win7, this way i'll have only to wait for it in the mail. hopefully they're mailing it to me,k i would have to have to be required to make a trip out there for it. what i would hope is that they let me download it. why not? i downloaded the rc. and it should be allowing us to upgrade, not do a fresh install. things get messy when i try a fresh install over an existing windows structure. bill you would save us a lot of headache if you just let us upgrade.

but i don't think he's listening.

end the sufferage, show your support

happy gay day to you all

it was on the 27th of june, 1969, when the riots happened at a bar in new york city called the stonewall. evidently the queens just got sick and tired of the cops busting in all the time arresting people for nothing more than being queer. i had just turned 13. (get a load of those numbers will ya) so now every year the last sunday in june is commemorated for the 1969 riots. they usually make it a week long event, culminating with a giant parade down 5th avenue from central park to christopher street.

i just like celebrating my birthday with a parade.

well, there wasn't a parade in mason city, but there's one going on right now in minneapolis, and in cities across this big country of ours. but i did celebrate last nite with a kegger at my friend, david nunoz's house, and there was lots of people there wishing me and my other friend who just so happens to celebrate his birthday on the 27th too. so it was a good time had by all. i'm jus glad nobody got arrested for OWI last nite. seems everybody made it home and into bed.

i guess i use it as an excuse for my gayness - because i was born on gay day, er rather gay day happens to fall on my birthday. either way, i get a parade every year.

on the passing of michael jackson

searched in google brought this up:

Results 1 - 10 of about 65,900,000 English pages for michael jackson. (0.30 seconds)

that's gotta be a record for one individual. no?

those verify things at the bottom of some forms

i wish i knew what they were called, but you know those things that ensure the person filling out the form is real and not a bot? those things that look like text had been mixed in a blender, and you're supposed to enter the letters to prove you're alive. well, whatever they're called.....

I HATE 'EM.

i can never produce the right answer, even when the text is very defined. although those are few and far between. usually you get a swirled text and you're supposed to know and read what it says.

well, good luck on that. seriously, i can understand your need to have real humans filling out your forms, but really, there's gotta be a better way than to swirl some text and expect us to decrypt the thing for you. it wouldn't be so bad if the letters SPELLED SOMETHING IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

the next time i come across such a thing, i'm going to email the webmaster a real flame. and i'll be civil about it.

AZZ Cardfile, can't live without it

i use this fantastic little database keeper called AZZ cardfile.  after trying a number of shareware apps out there that can keep all of my data (personal, business, recreational) in one place.  not only that, but it's fast as hell.  just type a few letters and every card that matches it, gets pulled up.  and it sure saves me time from hunting down serial numbers and the like.  AZZcardfile is free to try, and only $30 to register.  if money is tight (and when isn't it), you can get the previous version for only $20.  here's wher you can get it.
