I’m a slut
These tests are so annoying…why do I keep taking them? Sure I bet it’s totally scientific in nature with all of it’s off the wall questions. Take the Slut Test and see for yourself. At least I got a good score!
Tracking your kids
According to: MSNBC – Students ordered to wear tracking tags. So I read the article and I am still scratching my head.
So I am all for new technology and safety of children, but something about this is overdone. Some people think things like this are an invasion of privacy; but what is so private about going to school? Is there really any privacy issue with what time your kids get to school, leave school, go to band practice or whatever? Granted the nerds that hack the system to say they are still in class when they are really ditching will totally rule. See as I was one of these types of nerds in school I’m all for giving nerds more power to fight off the bullies.
Read that again, I totally went on a tangent. How fun…
Right, so this is all great and everything and sure I don’t have any privacy issues…but isn’t it still just a little weird?
I’m a kid at heart
I love toys, cheesy jokes and cartoons. A trip to Toys ‘R Us is just as fun for me now as it was when I was 10…the only difference is now I can buy whatever I want and mommy and daddy can’t say no!! Muhahaha!! Bring on the toys! When I studied engineering I wanted to eventually design toys. I might not have followed my dream then, but I still love toys. I have an eight year old nephew that I love shopping for because I just buy what I want and give it to him…it’s really just a ploy to buy what I want and play with it when he is around – I just don’t tell anyone that.
When I was in Atlanta [1999] all of these kids were running around this fountain in Olympic park. I just had to join them! The object of course was not to have mom and dad yell at you for getting all wet. So if you timed it just right you could jump in the middle of the rings and not get wet! The other game was to run on the rings as the water sprayed up in sequential order. It was like Hollywood with bullets spraying sand right behind your feet! Too much fun!! The little guy in red (on right) didn’t make it. :)
Ah the Coke factory! One of my all time favorite pictures…I spent fifty cents for a small old school glass bottle of Coke and had a photo op with a Coke Polar Bear. Just chillin’ with my bud and sharing a coke.
Life is short so I say enjoy it while you can. Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses…but most of all don’t forget those carefree days when you were young and being an adult sounded so “cool”. Now you are an adult, but you can still enjoy being young at heart.

Right…wouldn’t I need a special someone to spend the evening with? I have a business meeting tonight; no chicas on the horizon. I hate horoscopes. :)
“There are lots of little-known facts about your sign, mostly because you’re so private that you don’t tell most people all that much about yourself. One of those facts is that you’re really quite romantic — once your attention has truly been captured. Whoever you’re spending the evening with is about to find out just how romantic you are — to their utter delight. Keep it a secret until the very end!”

Snipped from the auction:
In 1992, current owner of Gargoyle statue worked as a ranger officer in Austin, TX. In fall of 1992, officer responded to 911 distress call routed through dispatch indicating “GARGOYLE HAS COME ALIVE!!”. Two minutes later, radio dispatch announced that gun shots had been fired from the same location. Officer was provided address where 911 call was initiated to investigate incident.
Officer pulled up to address where 911 call was made to find male & female homeowner standing in yard waiting for police. Officer notified them to immediately place any weapons they had on the ground (male was holding a 357 magnum pistol). Female approached officer in clear state of hysteria screaming that the Gargoyle statue had come alive. Male homeowner was asked to explain what had occured before the officer arrived at the residence.
Male indicated that the 911 call was placed immediately after they saw the Gargoyle statue moving its head and wings. Homeowner then proceeded to fire two rounds point-blank from a 357 magnum pistol into the moving Gargoyle statue. Male indicated that he ran away after seeing both bullets bounce out of the front of the statue. Picture of one of the bullet holes included below.
Homeowners sold Gargoyle statue to ranger officer upon agreement that it would be immediately removed from the property. Now, 12 years later, there is an opportunity for one lucky bidder to be part of this Gargoyles’ illustrious past & future.
