Went to Ikea today and spent $53 dollars, yet I managed to buy a desk, pillows for everyone, one of those city rugs for HotWheels, and a stool for the girls' vanity. Those some pretty cheap plastic and particle board.

I'm going for a balloon ride tonight! Just got a call it's on!
IT'S ON!

I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
That would be fun as well. But it's one of them fancy Virgin B'loon

Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Balloon ride was great
At one time we flew over a golf course at half a meter altitude and the pilot (who had a fear of heights, no kidding) dared me if I could pull the flag. I got hold of it, but those buggers are pretty hard to get out. The co-pilot made a movie of this, if I can figure out how, Ill upload it.

"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Went to the Buc's last training day, which was a night training with $1 hot dogs and drinks, with fireworks to cap it off.
All the kids had fun, even Scarlett. Team looks pretty good, but our QBs literally can't hit the broadside of a bus.
I am currently the only member on line.Yes, folks, only my name appears as present. A few guests or lurkers don't count. Pussies, they are. For a few moments, the forum is mine, all MINE I say.
It's all mine.
Kinda lonely tho.
All...mine.....all.... heh.
Where the hell is everyone?
Isn't this an international forum that doesn't turn out its lights, or some second rate facsimile of twitter, without the twittering?
Maybe everyone went to church.
Say a Hail Mary for me, light a candle or some incense.
Well I did my bit, after getting home from a great night out I stayed logged in here for a few hours - was 2 am when I finally gave in to the need for sleep.
Woke up feeling great too.![]()

I've never been a big PvP person, but I had a blast tonight schooling Brent in AoE![]()
Temperature in Istanbul is 27 and dropping.
Congratulations America
Had a great weekend. Went out for Greek on Saturday. Yesterday was finally able to pull the larger weeds out of the flower beds, though there is still a ton of grass that will have to be tackled in the fall.
And now I'm awake while baby is sleeping in this morning!
I watched the directors cut of Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (1972) yesterday and it was sort of spinning around in my head all day at work - which is very distracting.
If you haven't seen it, basically it is Pink Floyd playing in an ancient Roman arena with no audience, all their array of 1970's instruments and effects equipment doing their very Pink Floyd thing of making fucking trippy music.
So today I get home from work, say hello to the family, eat dinner, grab a sixpack and head to the studio (games room) and grabbed a Fender strat, plugged in the Pod and Amp and grabbed the first thing I saw (a drum kit tuning key, which is similar to a metal clock winding key but heavier) and set the effects (on the Pod) to Island Chorus with about 75% echo and shit loads of reverb and of course plenty of bass.
Not sure what happened exactly but I spent the next 3 hours in a trance like state playing psychadelic tunes straight from the depths of my subconscious and it was such an awesome thing! I was freestyling but I wasn't going berzerk, I sort of pulled every tune I know (which isn't that many) and applied them to the strat in every different way I could imagine. Fuck I was having the time of my life.
Then my son came home from his girlfriends place and took all his stuff back.
I now realise he had been home for a while listening to his crazy old man reliving the past and it couldn't have been too bad because now he is in there using the tuning key making awesomely awesome sounds and I am on such a natural high I completely forgot the sixpack which is now warm! (it sat on the floor between my feet the whole time).
And that is what made me happy.
Hmm tomorrow I'm trying magnets.![]()

It has advantages to work at a place with a lot of engineers and technicians - the adapter of my external hard disk was broken, and replacing it would be costly (it was a rather unusual type). Instead, one of the technician put it in a workbench, cracked it open, noticed one of the capacitors didn't look right, replaced it, and now it works again![]()

This is how a HPOA quits in style.
Hope is the denial of reality
Oh well, but it was still funny.
Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita
The fact it went viral as bad as it did only makes it that much more funny. A lot of people missed the connection on how The Chive is a spin off from The Onion.
