September 2003 Archives

That's right, you can now purchase wonderful merchandise at the KickIdle Store. Not much there now, because I need to get some high-res scans of most of my pictures before I do upload them. But it'll be moving along eventually, so check back, or sign up for the newsletter.

Things ruined by impatience*:

• Cooking
• Fore-play
• Suprises
• Investments
• Photographic composition
• Flirting
• Commitment

* in no particular order

A lesson from the desert:

Remember, no matter what you've been through, you can still be beautiful.

I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'. I shall not call you 'baby'.

This article about John Caudwell banning e-mail in his company was entertaining, but the finish was what really made me glad I had read it:

The 50-year-old is renowned for a flamboyant lifestyle that includes a four-seater helicopter, twin-engined jet, £1 million schooner yacht and £250,000 Bentley Azure.

In the last three years he has broken his neck three times, twice coming off his super-fast motorbikes and once landing awkwardly on his Olympic-sized trampoline.

Damn! Now there's a man who's living life with gusto! hahaha

I've noticed that if I join a chat room in Yahoo! late at night, I invariably get the same progression of events:

1. Someone says "Hi" in a private message.
2. I look at their profile and guess that he's male.
3. He says "a/s/l".
4. I tell him I'm a 26/m.
5. He says "bye".

This whole exchange is pointless because all of that information is in my profile!

My god, no wonder the most common comment I get out of women online is "wow, you actually have a brain". How hard is it to check someone's profile before you waste their time? Please, guys, learn to use your brain and stop embarassing our half of the species!

(If you want to catch me online some night and help me relieve the boredom of night shift, I'm dthvt on AIM and Yahoo!.)

I know I'm not supposed to laugh at the misery of others and all that, but really, what else is there to laugh at? Anyway, Hokie Pundit cracks me up with the little story that ends this entry.

Here's two other photos I happen to have sitting on my laptop, just in case you like that type of thing....

My brother and I took a week off from work and went to Arches National Park in Utah. It was a great time, and when I get some spare time I'll get some high definition images up, but for now, here's a teaser.
