Hello All.
 
Well, it has been another busy time for me.  I have been taking care of my Dad full time for about 2 weeks and I am doing good.  And so is he.  It is really hard to find time for myself anymore.  It seems that I only get time when everyone else is asleep.  But by that time, I am too tired to get any work done.
 
I was able to get a 97 Plymoth Voyager to use as transportation for everyone.  Sure beats the 2 seater pickup I have.
 
I thought of something that some people might find funny and others offensive.  So here it goes.
 
You might be a fat man if:
 
If you have to take a crap in the handycap stall because your legs are do thick you need to spread them wide to get you hand up there to wipe your ass...  You might be a fat man.
 
If you can't reach around your own ass to wipe it... You might be a fat man.
 
If you start sweating five minutes after a shower... You might be a fat man.
 
If your underware has pitstains in the crotch because of your balls sweating... You might be a fat man.
 
If you've ever tried to convince yourself while looking in a mirror that with a tool like this, you need to build a shed over it...  You might be a fat man.
 
If you've ever gone to find fat people hangouts just to make yourself feel better about your weight...  You might be a fat man.
 
These are, unfortunately, true statements for me.
 
Oh well, that is enought for now.  See you later.

Well, here we are again.  Another miserable day in my existance.  Just kidding :)
 
Actually life is pretty good now, except for no job and no money.  I am going to dedicate my life to reading all of my books I have bought over the years.  I have a pretty nice library of computer books and self improvement books.  Its about time I read them.
 
I have an interview with Walmart tomorrow.   I hope I get the job.  I need the money.
 
Thats about it for now.  If I think of anything, you'll be the first to know.

Well, hello all.
I am happy to announce that I have someone actually coming to my site.  Now the pressure is on.  Now I have to have actual content to keep them interested.
 
So for today, I went to help my good friend Tom R with his computer.  I built it myself.  When I put it together, he said that was the happiest he had ever seen me.  And it is true.  His is actually faster than mine but it is not as old either.  He also has the cutest little girl.  She is almost nine months old.  He is a lucky guy to have such a nice family.  But anyway, he was having printer problems with Netscape.  So I figured out a workaround and made him happy.
 
That is about the highlight of my day, besides taking care of my Dad.  I'll tell you one thing.  When you take care of someone who has had a stroke, you learn a lot about healthcare issues and technology.
 
I am trying to fix up my Dad's house while he is staying with me.  It is an old 1 1/2 story that was built in three sections.  That is what you have to do when you have no money.  And, just working on that house, I have been remembering all of the things my Dad taught me when I was a kid.  It has been a real flashback for me.
 
Now on to something that really bugs me.  I have noticed that girls from the age of 18-24 have been dressing in a lot tighter clothes than when I was that age.  They dress in clothes that show off their breasts and butts.  It is really pissing me off.  I am a child of the late 80's.  I am not too old to appreciate a nice body, but in my day, girls didn't dress like that.  And is it me, or do all girls in that age range have super thin stomachs and big boobs.  Its really frustrating.  If I look, I'm a real pervert.  But if I am not to look, why do they dress that way.  Its like I always said before I got married, "So many women, so little chance."  I wonder if that is a frustration every man has to live with?
 
Well, I am ready to start putting my pictures onto the website.  But again, it will take time.  So be patient.
 
So, see ya later.

Hello all.  Well, I'm back from Georgia.  This time, I really couldn't wait to get out of there.  The countryside is beautiful, but I had enough of hicksville... no offense. 
 
Now I am taking care of my father.  He is here for a week and then next month, he will be here permanemtly.  Since I can't find another job, I might as well take care of him.
 
Nothing new to report on the comic.  The work is slow.
 
That is it for now.

Well, just another boring day.  Nothing to really report.
 
Still working on the comic.  I am refining the lines on the characters so they look smoother.  Unfortunately, this means I have to magnify the image on the computer to 500% and go over it with a fine eraser brush and fine pencil brush.  Believe me when they say Photoshop is worth every penny you pay for it.  Wednesday, I have to call the General Manager of the local newspaper and see if I can get them to print the comic.  Right now it is in color but if they want it in B&W, that is easily remedied.
 
I am getting desperate for a job.  I bought all of the Sunday papers to comb through them for potential jobs.  Something tells me my former employer is screwing me over.
 
I'm gearing up to make another trip to Georgia to attend the wife's neice's graduation party.  I don't know why they couldn't have the party when we were down there the first time.  But needless to say, I will be taking a lot of pictures.  And this time, I won't have the sister-in-law in the back seat to bother me.  It takes me 12 hours to drive down there.  That is a long time to be behind the wheel of a truck.  But on the way back I will be stoping in Metropolis, IL. to get more pics and maybe some souveniers.  Too Cool!
 
Last night I added two pages to the sight.  This one, which is the June page and the Pics page which isn't finished yet.  You know how it is when you have to download pics over a 56k modem.  It takes time.  Not to mention that I have to resize them and condense them to make the data smaller.
 
Now here is something fun I would like to talk about.  My favorite movie of all time is Office Space.  This movie is the coolest movie about cubical life in all of history... no offense to Dilbert fans (I think Scott Adams should actually make a movie based on Dilbert).  Ron Livingston portrays the everyday working stiff who hates his job and, most likely, his whole life.  He is plagued with bosses coming by every 10 minutes and telling him the same thing the last boss told him, the monotinous sounds of the office including a very annoying operator, and an over chearful woman who can't get Samir's name right.  Other mentionable characters are the "Gangsta Rap" lovin' "Michael Bolton" who is constantly asked if he is related to the Pop singer (Which he isn't),  and poor Milton, (who was the name sake of the original animated shorts) who just wants to keep his red Swingline stapler and to do his work but is the target of head boss whenever he needs an ego boost.  If you have ever worked in an office, you must watch this movie.  You will think the writer was looking through the windows and taking notes of you at work.
 
Well, that is enough fun for now, talk to you later.
